| Statement |

| Our collective dedication has led to a commendable achievement with DDGM successfully reaching over 1 million work hours with zero LTIs complemented by a low LTIFR of 0.11 |
| In the third quarter, our exploration initiatives yielded impressive results |
| We aren't getting any market recognition for the intrinsic value of our assets, relatively strong balance sheet, we have no debt, and excellent technical and operating teams |
| Our producing mine in Mexico, which should have better operating results next year and a project having a $200-plus million NPV in Michigan are trading at what we consider to be totally unacceptable values |
| Preliminary results from our study on the copper concentrate have shown promise, particularly in improving gold recoveries |
| This reflects our team's solid commitment to enhancing our safety practices, fostering discipline, and integrating a culture of safety that adheres to the highest international standards |
| Our exploration program, which has been our primary use of cash over the last 2.5 years, continues to produce good results, which will result in a growth in reserves and resources increasing the mine life |
| Rest assured, we are diligently following our management of change protocols to seamlessly integrate this fine leads and capitalize on the potential benefits |
| Our employees have demonstrated a sound commitment to excellence, ensuring the continued success and sustainability of our operations |
| We are obviously not happy with the Q3 results, but I will say that the month of October was the best month in terms of production of material so far this year |
| These changes have necessitated significant adjustments within our team and operational processes, showcasing the remarkable resilience and adaptability of the DDGM workforce |
| And I do believe that you're - and willingness to combine your company with another and to strengthen the company's assets in that respect would do us a great favor |
| And that, I think, is something that I can state that we will be able to achieve |
| But at the same time, we can't be complacent and say just because everybody else is suffering, we should be happy with what we're doing |
| As for production results, I am pleased to report that production for Q3 reached approximately 117,000 tonnes of ore, sold approximately 4,000 ounces of gold and 209,000 ounces of silver, equating to over 6,500 gold ounces |
| This process will begin immediately, and while there's no certainty around the outcome, we're confident that the process is in the best interest of all stakeholders |
| But from the investor standpoint, I think it would be certainly good to readdress that issue and how that came about because I think that's what the investor public is really looking for, some solid answers as to why and how things happen |
| Net present value using a 6% discount rate of $215 million and an initial capital requirement of $325 million demonstrate economic viability, and we have identified additional opportunities to further reduce capital and improve capital intensity |
| But the real focus is ensuring that Don David is operating to the best of its ability to reestablish our bank accounts |
| We are moving forward to try and enhance the profitability of that mine to the greatest extent possible |
| Initiation of your strategic review process is not an indicator of what you've seen in Q4 thus far, right? It's just a general statement as to what you feel the year and its challenges have been like thus far, correct? Allen Palmiere Heiko, I will tell you that Q4, my expectation of Q4 will be an improvement over Q3 |
| We believe, based on a few deep drill intercepts, that there is significant potential for the deposit to increase in terms of quantity and thus increasing the mine life and economics |
| On a positive note, we are actively exploring technological solutions at our processing plant to adapt to the shift in ore type |
| We've made the best of it |
| The Mexican peso has strengthened in 2023 with approximately 60% of our production costs originating in the peso |
| So there's a lot of very, very undervalued assets out there |
| You have a nice day |
| All of these changes should make the project easier to permit than the original concept |
| Our job is to create value |
| Profitability is - that's a double-edged sword |
| Statement |
|---|
| For the quarter, net sales of $21 million were 14% lower than the same period in 2022 due to both lower volumes of all metals sold and significantly lower metal price for zinc |
| Year-to-date, net sales of $76.6 million were 20% lower than the same period in 2022, also due to both lower volumes of all metals sold, with the exception of silver, and lower base metal prices |
| The third quarter, as you've observed, was a difficult one for us |
| While this was always in the plan for the latter part of this year, the unexpected strengthening of the Mexican peso hurt us, and the lower-than-forecast price of zinc adversely affected our byproduct revenues |
| It really is a function of our inability to unlock value or our apparent inability to unlock value for our shareholders |
| The third quarter presented a share of challenges exacerbated by the prevailing inflationary pressures, volatile change rates and increasing labor costs |
| As previously guided, mine sequencing resulted in lower ore grades |
| While production costs for the quarter and year-to-date of approximately $19 million and $59 million are in line with the production costs for the same period in 2022, this is resulting in an unfavorable impact on unit costs, such as cost per tonne processed and cost per gold equivalent ounce sold |
| So I'll tell you why I'm asking this question because in the past four quarters, the company is losing money |
| Finally, mining gross profit is lower in 2023, primarily due to the lower sales not being offset by lower production costs |
| And GreenLight has been unable to raise money in the current economic environment or current market environment |
| When we got involved risk management of this company almost three years ago, we recognized that there had been very, very little drilling done and that in the absence of drilling, we are facing a depleting resource |
| And it seems to be getting worse and worse as has happened in all mines where the grades become lower and lower and becomes less and less profitable |
| For the third quarter 2023, we reported net losses of $7.3 million or $0.08 per share, and for the full nine months, we reported net losses of $13 million or $0.15 per share |
| Like GreenLight continues to try and raise money, although I will say that in today's market, it's unlikely they'll do so |
| But in Q3, it went down as low as $1.05 |
| The gold equivalent ounces are lower due to the lower grade ore and lower recoveries realized during the quarter and year-to-date |
| And as you can see, the grade of all the mines and the minerals are going down |
| It's very, very difficult for me to answer that |
| The decline in cash is primarily due to increased cash costs at DDGM, which we'll discuss in just a moment, and to our exploration program |
