Tim Swendseid, Elevation Gold CEO, stated: "As previously communicated, production during the quarter was impacted by continuing crushing plant throughput issues. For the second quarter, we are expecting a meaningful improvement in tons crushed, ounces produced and overall results for the following and other reasons:
By the end of Q1, the ore hardness and crusher throughput improved.
During Q1, all mining activities shifted to western areas, resulting in significant efficiency improvements that will help reduce costs.
On February 27, 2024, we were very pleased to announce positive exploration results in the Reynolds Pit area. To quickly take advantage of the area we successfully completed a reallocation of part of our permitted mining area from the east side of the boundary to the west side, and we are already mining Reynolds Pit's fifth production bench.
Gold price strengthened during Q1, and remains elevated, which will continue to boost revenues."
