Wesdome Announces 2023 First Quarter Financial Results
10 Mai 2023 - 10:45PM
Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) (“Wesdome” or the “Company”)
today announces first quarter (“Q1 2023”) financial results. All
figures are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Warwick Morley-Jepson, Board Chair and Interim
CEO commented, “The year is off to a solid start with combined
production results of 28,368 ounces coming in ahead of budget. We
continued to make excellent progress on the Kiena production ramp,
currently at the 123 level. Once the ramp reaches the 129 level
late this year and we can develop 129L station, we will be able to
take advantage of the significant ounces per vertical metre
increase which is expected to result in materially better unit
economics in 2024. At Eagle River, production exceeded our internal
targets. Grade reconciliation in the Falcon Zone has significantly
improved now that additional drilling and ore development is in
place. Our balance sheet is also continuing to benefit from higher
production and gold prices, as well as disciplined use of our ATM
financing. During the quarter, we paid down $8 million of debt, $12
million in Accounts Payables and expect to continue aggressively
paying down our credit facility throughout the rest of the
year.”

First quarter 2023 highlights:
- At Eagle,
production exceeded our internal targets. Grade reconciliation in
the Falcon Zone has significantly improved now that additional
drilling and ore development is in place. Q1 2023 cash costs of
$1,192 (US$881) per ounce and AISC of $1,709 (US$1,264) per ounce
of gold were below combined guidance and are expected to
be maintained.
- At Kiena,
we continued to make excellent strides towards the successful
ramp-up of mining activities in 2023 and beyond. Development of the
ramp to the 129L giving access to the A Zone of Kiena Deep
continued to track ahead of schedule which positions the mine well
for increased production levels in 2024. Longer term, excavation of
an exploration ramp from surface to access the near-surface
Presqu’ile Zone is expected to proceed in H2 2023 after the
required permits are secured. With an existing large resource base,
efforts in 2023 will focus on converting a portion of these
resources to reserves. The Kiena mill has excess capacity with a
permitted rate of 2,000 tonnes per day, therefore bringing a
potential new source of ore into the mine plan could be
accomplished quickly and for low costs.
- Kiena
Cash costs of $2,267 per ounce, ($US1,676) and AISC costs of $3,048
per ounce ($US2,254) were higher than guidance due to increased
staffing in preparation for the production ramp up and associated
construction costs. Costs are expected to decrease throughout the
second half of the year and further in 2024 as the mine reaches
higher production levels taking advantage of the higher grades and
larger ore volumes at depth.
- Total
Cash margin was $34.4 million, a 13% increase over Q1 2022, however
net income and free cash flows were negative as the Company
completes the final projects on the production ramp up at Kiena,
namely the ramp to the 129 metre level. Assuming that all else
remains the same, the Company expects, at current gold prices, to
be free cash flow neutral this year, positioning itself well to be
free cash flow positive in 2024.
- The
Company is well positioned to deliver on its production guidance of
110,000 – 130,000 ounces and cash cost guidance of $1,500 - $1,670
per ounce (US$1,150 - $1,290), as well as AISC of $2,100 - $2,340
per ounce, (US$1,620 - $1,800).
- Wesdome raised $20.1 million of net
proceeds from issuing 2,987,500 common shares under the ATM
program. The Company ended the quarter with $25.1 million in cash,
and a $47 million balance on the revolving credit facility
(December 31, 2022 $55 million) in accordance with our strategy to
accelerate the paydown of the outstanding balance on our credit
facility, thereby de-risking our balance sheet.
Operations and Financial Results |
Comparison to Q1 2022 |
Gold production of 28,368 ounces. |
Gold production increased by 11% (Q1 2022 - 25,611 ounces) due to
Kiena producing 7,877 ounces in Q1 2023 compared to 5,112 ounces in
Q1 2022, and Eagle River complex producing 20,491 ounces, which is
consistent with the same period in the prior year. |
Cash costs of $1,407
(US$1,040) per ounce of gold
sold1. |
Cash costs1 in Canadian dollars increased by 9% from Q1 2022 of
$1,295 (US$1,023) per ounce due to a 16% increase in aggregate mine
operating costs; partially offset by a 7% increase in ounces sold.
The aggregate cash costs increased by $4.9 million or 21% at Eagle
River mainly due to increased ore development metres (timing),
waste movement, improvements made to strengthen the technical and
mine management team at site, general maintenance of site
infrastructure and inflationary pressure. Kiena’s aggregate cash
costs increased by $1.1 million or 8% primarily due to a 100%
increase in throughput and increased staffing levels required to
support commercial production, which was declared on December 1,
2022. |
AISC of $1,977 (US$1,462)
per ounce of gold
sold1. |
AISC1 in Canadian dollars increased by 17% from Q1 2022 of $1,695
(US$1,339) per ounce due to the increased cash costs, an increase
in capital spending at Eagle River resulting from the replacement
of aging site infrastructure and the inclusion of sustaining mining
exploration and development costs at Kiena. |
Cash margin of $34.4
million1. |
Cash margin1 increased by 13% or $4.1 million from Q1 2022 due to
higher ounces sold and a higher Canadian dollar realized gold
price; partially offset by increased cash operating costs. |
Operating cash flow of $5.1 million or $0.04 per
share1. |
Decreased by 83% or $24.8 million (Q1 2022 - $29.9 million or $0.21
per share1) primarily due to the decrease in cash from working
capital changes; partially offset by the higher cash margin. |
Free cash outflow of $19.6 million or ($0.14) per
share1. |
The free cash outflow1 increased by $12.8 million (Q1 2022 - $6.8
million or ($0.05) per share1) primarily due to the decrease in
cash from working capital changes; partially offset by the higher
cash margin and reduced capital spending. Invested $22.7 million in
capital expenditures at Eagle River and Kiena in the quarter as
compared to $34.6 million in Q1 2022. |
Net loss attributable to shareholders of $0.3 million or
$nil per share.Adjusted net
income1 attributable to
shareholders of $3.3 million or $0.02 per share. |
Net income decreased by $7.4 million (Q1 2022 - $7.1 million or
$0.05 per share) because of the increased depletion and
depreciation of $10.8 million resulting from a larger depreciable
asset base as the Kiena assets are now being depreciated, the
after-tax impairment of the investment in associate of $2.0 million
and the after-tax retirement costs of $1.6 million; partially
offset by the higher cash margin. After removing these one-time
items, the adjusted net income1 decreased by $3.8 million from Q1
2022. |

Production Metrics and Exploration Updates
UpdaHighlights |
Performance |
Eagle River Complex |
- Overall
gold production from the Eagle River Complex remained consistent in
Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2022 with 20,491 ounces produced. Despite
lower throughput from the Eagle River underground, Q1 2023 gold
production increased by 4% from Q1 2022 and exceeded internal
targets due to processing additional higher-grade ounces from the
Falcon Zone. Mishi produced 332 ounces in Q1 2023, and the
stockpile has now been fully depleted.
- Eagle River Underground 48,133
tonnes at a head grade of 13.5 grams per tonne for 20,159 ounces
produced, 4% increase over the same period in the previous year (Q1
2022: 19,334 ounces).
- Mishi Open Pit 6,150 tonnes at a
head grade of 2.3 grams per tonne for 332 ounces produced (Q1 2022:
1,165 ounces).
- Q1 2023
cash cost of $1,192 (US$881) per ounce of gold sold1 decreased by
6% or $70 per ounce from Q1 2022 due to a 28% increase in ounces
sold; partially offset by a 21% 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 teams 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.
- Q1 2023
AISC of $1,709 (US$1,264) per ounce of gold sold1 decreased by 3%
or $62 per ounce from Q1 2022 due to a 28% increase in ounces sold;
partially offset by the higher cash costs and site infrastructure
spending.
- Generated
$20.1 million in cash margin net AISC1 in Q1 2023 compared to $11.8
million in Q1 2022 due to the 28% increase in ounces sold and the
higher average Canadian dollar gold price; partially offset by the
21% increase in overall aggregate site operating costs and the 51%
increase in site infrastructure spending.
- At December 31,
2022, Eagle River’s proven and probable mineral reserves totaled
400,000 ounces (762,000 tonnes grading 16.3 g/t Au); measured and
indicated mineral resources (exclusive of reserves) were 186,000
(466,000 tonnes grading 12.4 g/t gold); and inferred mineral
resources were 281,000 ounces (586,000 tonnes grading 14.9 g/t
gold).
- As a result of
drilling to the west of Eagle River, the Company believes there is
potential for the delineation of a parallel Falcon structure and
further to the East along the down dip extension of the high grade
300 Zone that could meaningfully enhance future operational
flexibility of the asset. With an existing large resource base,
efforts in 2023 will focus on converting a portion of these
resources to reserves. Total metres budgeted for 2023 are 97,000 m
by five underground drills, including 49,000 m of definition
drilling, 40,000 m of underground exploration drilling and 8,000 m
of surface exploration drilling.
|
Kiena |
- Q1 2023
production increased by 54% from Q1 2022 to 7,877 ounces due to a
100% increase in throughput; partially offset by a 23% decrease in
head grade. The head grade is above the 2023 grade guidance of 3.7
– 4.7 due to an overall positive reconciliation of recovered
diluted material from removal of material from previously mined
stopes. Grades are still expected to align with guidance for the
remainder of the year.
- Q1 2023
cash cost of $2,267 (US$1,676) per ounce of gold sold1 increased by
66% or $904 primarily due to a 35% decrease in ounces sold, and an
increase in overall aggregate cash costs resulting from throughput
increasing by 100% and increased staffing levels required to
support commercial production, which was declared on December 1,
2022. Kiena produced 42,324 tonnes at a head grade of 5.9 grams per
tonne for 7,877 ounces, 54% increase over the same period of the
previous year (Q1 2022: 5,112 ounces)
- Q1 2023
AISC of $3,048 (US$2,254) per ounce of gold1 sold increased by 98%
or $1,507 per ounce as compared to $1,541 (US$1,217) in Q1 2022 due
to a 35% decrease in ounces sold, the increased cash costs and the
sustaining mine exploration and development costs.
- Q1 2023
cash margin net AISC1 of negative $2.8 million decreased by $10.1
million compared to $7.4 million in Q1 2022 due to a 35% decrease
in ounces sold and the inclusion of sustaining development and
exploration costs.
- The
pastefill plant, which was commissioned in Q4 of 2022, has
performed well, achieving its design throughput and quality of
product. Yielding the expected improvements in stope cycle times
and reduction in dilution.
-
Development of the ramp to the 129L which provides access to the A
Zone of Kiena Deep continued to track ahead of schedule during Q1
2023, which positions the mine well for increased production levels
in 2024.
- At Kiena, proven and probable
mineral reserves totalled 606,000 ounces (1,658,000 tonnes grading
11.4 g/t Au); measured and indicated mineral resources (exclusive
of reserves) were 164,000 (971,000 tonnes grading 5.3 g/t gold);
and inferred mineral resources were 668,000 ounces (3,498,000
tonnes grading 5.9 g/t gold).
- The
Company is following up on multiple initial discoveries made last
year, including the south limb of the A Zone and several adjacent
hanging wall zones which remain outside the current mineral
reserves.
- Recent
drill results have extended the Kiena Deep A Zone 125 m down
plunge. The A Zone now extends continuously from 1,100 m to
approximately 2,000 m below surface and remains open at depth.
-
Additionally, the latest drilling results have also continued to
better define and expand the Footwall Zones. Lenses FWZ_1 to FWZ_4
were intersected by holes N112-6861, N112-6861W1, and
N112-6862W2.
- The
excavation of an exploration ramp from surface to access the
near-surface Presqu’ile Zone is expected to proceed in H2 2023
after the required permits are secured. With an existing large
resource base, efforts in 2023 will focus on converting a portion
of these resources to reserves.
- Total
metres budgeted for 2023 is 33,000 m, which is made up from 18,000
m of underground exploration drilling, 10,000 m of definition
drilling and 5,000 m of surface exploration drilling on a
barge.

Cautionary Note to United States
Investors Concerning Estimates of Reserves and
Resources
The mineral reserve and resource estimates
reported in this news release were prepared in accordance with
National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects (“NI 43-101”) as required by Canadian
securities regulatory authorities. The United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applies different
standards in order to classify and report mineralization. This news
release uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred”
mineral resources, as required by NI 43-101. Readers are advised
that although such terms are recognized and required by Canadian
securities regulations, the SEC does not recognize such terms.
Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of
the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all
of the mineral deposits in these categories constitute or will ever
be converted into mineral reserves. In addition, “inferred” mineral
resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence
and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility.
It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral
resource exists, is economically or legally mineable or will ever
be upgraded to a higher category of mineral resource.
