The company’s Q1 gold production of 51,900 ounces exceeded expectations, putting it on track to meet its full-year gold production guidance of 220,000–235,000 ounces.

Owing to enhanced grades and mine sequencing, Nicaraguan gold production is anticipated to increase quarter over quarter and be approximately 20% higher in the second half of the year. As a result, during the second half of the year, the Company expects lower Total Cash Costs and All-in Sustaining Costs (“AISC”). 

To get the most out of the integrated asset base, the Company will continue to optimize its consolidated mine and process plans.
