Wesdome Announces 2022 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

TORONTO, Feb. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) (“Wesdome” or the “Company”) today announces fourth quarter (“Q4 2022”) and full year financial results. All figures are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Key Highlights:

Eagle River

  • Eagle River underground mine processed 223,735 tonnes at an average grade of 11.5 gpt to produce 79,997 ounces with the underground producing 231,000 tonnes of broken ore.
  • Completed additional drilling and ore development at the Falcon Zone which is improving production and grade forecasting; results in 2023 so far are showing positive reconciliation at the Falcon Zone

Kiena

  • Successfully commissioned the pastefill plant and declared commercial production
  • Drilling expanded the size of the A Zones and Footwall Zones, which supports future mine life extension potential
  • Drilling better defined and expanded the Presqu’ile Zone potentially justifying the installation of an exploration ramp

Other

  • Named to the Globe & Mail's 2022 Report on Business Women Lead Here list. This annual editorial benchmark identifies best-in-class executive gender diversity in corporate Canada
  • Placed 6th out of 34 TSX-listed materials companies in the annual Globe and Mail Board Games report on corporate governance

Warwick Morley-Jepson, Interim CEO commented, “2022 was a challenging year for Wesdome, and we have leveraged our experiences to ensure better operational and financial performance going forward. Production misses at both mines resulted in a net loss of $14.7 million or ($0.10) per share.

Previously disclosed grade reconciliation issues at the Falcon zone that impacted 2022 production have been addressed through additional ore development and drilling. Eagle operations are recovering well, with 2023 grade so far reconciling higher than guidance.

At Kiena, despite the challenging backdrop of the fractured supply chains we are very pleased to have put a second mine into production, financed almost entirely from internally generated cash flow. The delays encountered in 2022 are behind us, and all required equipment is on site. The next milestone is the continued development of the ramp giving access to mining operations in the A zone. Ramp advancement will position us to mine in the areas where the ounces per vertical metre significantly increase, and grade is expected to improve. Year to date, this project is tracking slightly ahead of schedule. As well, 2022 saw the hiring of key technical personnel including a Director, Engineering and Operations who will support daily mine operations.

Production guidance for 2023 is expected to range between 110,000 – 130,000 ounces with production back end weighted through the year. Until the ramp reaches the 129 metre level at Kiena, lower processed grades are expected to continue into 2023.   We will continue to supply the mill with lower grade ore from the Martin, S50, and VC zones to supplement the Kiena Deep material that will be available to mine, which is mostly lower grade fringe material and diluted ore from previously mined areas.

We consider this year to be a transition year as we get Kiena back on schedule, setting up 2024 to be a stronger year operationally, as well as financially. In this regard, an at-the-market equity program was established in December to accelerate balance sheet de-levering.”

Production Metrics and Exploration Updates
Performance
Eagle River Complex
  • FY 2022 gold production from the Eagle River Complex decreased by 19% from FY 2021 to 82,002 ounces of gold, primarily due to lower realized head grade, as the newly developed Falcon Zone grade was not as high as expected. Gold production from Mishi was also lower than in 2021 as the stockpiled ore nears depletion. Head grade at the Eagle River Complex in 2022 averaged 10.7 g/t.
  • FY 2022 cash cost of $1,356 (US$1,042) per ounce of gold sold1 increased by 39% or $378 from FY 2021 due to a 21% decrease in ounces sold and a 9% increase in overall aggregate site operating costs resulting from higher operating costs incurred due to more ore development metres, waste movement, improvements made to strengthen the technical and mine management team at site, general maintenance improvements and inflationary pressures, driven by higher labour costs and an increase in commodity inputs, including higher fuel and energy costs.
  • FY 2022 AISC of $2,003 (US$1,539) per ounce of gold sold1 increased by 38% or $547 from FY 2021 due to the higher cash costs, combined with the replacement of aging site infrastructure and raising of the tailings storage facility.
  • Generated $79.1 million in cash margin in FY 2022 compared to $127.7 million in FY 2021 due to the 21% decrease in ounces sold and the 9% increase in overall aggregate site operating costs.
  • The new 355 m level development is now complete along the western extent of the mine infrastructure. The development extends 400 m west of the mine into the volcanic rocks that host the Falcon 7 zone. This development provides drill platforms to test for gold mineralization near the Falcon 7 zone further along strike, and for parallel zones. In the future it will provide access for mining and will improve operational planning, as it is situated away from the main mining area at depth.
  • Most recently, surface, and underground drilling from the newly established 355 m level exploration drift, has defined the up-plunge extent of the Falcon 7 zone. Highlights of the recent drilling include 11.1 g/t Au over 3.0 m core length and 26.5 g/t Au over 2.0 m core length (see press release dated October 5, 2022).
  • In addition, several drill holes have intersected mineralization in subparallel zones in the hanging wall of the Falcon 7 zone, including a recent hole that returned 40.3 g/t Au over 1.5 m. One hole, further to the west along strike from the Falcon 7 zone, near the historic 9 zone, returned 19.4 g/t au over 0.7 m.
  • Additionally, initial surface drilling within the volcanic rocks, 150 metres east and down dip of the previously mined 2 Zone intersected altered volcanic rocks with quartz veining and VG. One hole returned 233.0 g/t Au over 0.4 metres.
Kiena
  • With the successful completion of a test pastefill pour on November 30, 2022, commercial production at the Kiena Mine was declared effective December 1, 2022. The pastefill plant has been performing well and in line with expectations.
  • FY 2022 Kiena ore production increased by 29% from FY 2021 to 28,848 ounces of gold, primarily due to higher throughput; partially offset by lower head grade as less ore was sourced from Kiena Deep. Head grade at Kiena in 2022 averaged 7.9 g/t.
  • The 2022 cash cost of $1,839 (US$1,413) per ounce of gold sold increased by 75% or $786 per ounce as compared to $1,052 (US$839) in 2021 and the AISC of $2,059 (US$1,582) per ounce of gold sold increased by 81% or $922 per ounce as compared to $1,138 (US$908) in 2021 primarily due to ramping up operations in anticipation of declaring commercial production, which was delayed until December 1, 2022 due to supply chain challenges in sourcing vital equipment necessary to deal with challenging ground conditions within the Kiena Deep A zone. Once a sufficient level of developed reserves is achieved through the development of the ramp to the higher grade A zone, the cash cost and AISC are expected to align with the life of mine cash costs and AISC in the Preliminary Feasibility Study (“PFS”), excluding the industry-wide cost escalations that have occurred since its publishing in 2021.
  • Generated $16.6 million in cash margin despite the low ounces produced and the high cash costs of $1,839 per ounce of gold sold1 as commercial production was delayed until December 1, 2022 due to supply chain challenges in sourcing vital equipment necessary to deal with challenging ground conditions within the Kiena Deep A zone.
  • The recent discovery of the South Limb and Footwall zones show the underexplored exploration potential of the Kiena Deep zone.`
  • Most recently, drilling intersected two new zones in the hanging wall basalt. This zone consists of disseminated sulfides in basalt associated with a stockwork of veinlets composed of quartz ± gold. The second zone consists of a quartz-cabonate vein with visible gold that returned 2,850 g/t Au over 1.5 m core length. The discovery of these zones highlights the potential to add ounces within the basalt, where the rock quality is significantly better than in the A Zone allowing for increased development rates (see press release dated November 16,2022).
  • From surface, drilling has focused on the Presqu'île Zone located 2 kilometres west of the Kiena Mine. Highlights include 24.3 g/t over 3.3 m core length and 30.0 g/t Au over 9.4 m core length. Given the significant upside that the Presqu'île zone could represent for Kiena, the Company is currently evaluating options to fast-track an exploration ramp from surface. It could also easily be connected to Kiena's existing underground ramp network, providing access to surface for the existing operation and enhancements to the mine’s ventilation network (see press release dated September 8, 2022).
