| Statement |
|---|
| This drill campaign has demonstrated exceptional continuity of mineralization and as you can see the grades are consistently in the 10 to 20-gram range |
| There is strong security of land ownership, stable government and a very strong history of mine development and production |
| We believe we are setting up Granite Creek to have a very strong year in 2024 and it will be one of the cornerstone assets for the company's plans to become a much larger producer over the next several years with Granite Creek being the first operation for the company |
| Some of the drilling we have completed down dip from where the mine workings are, have intersected very good grades and very good widths, often in excess of 10 grams per tonne and up to 20 grams per tonne |
| The Blackjack deposit is returning assays that are very impressive |
| Our company has an organic growth platform with a goal of becoming Nevada's second largest gold producer with sustainable development opportunities |
| We have been very successful at building a very strong and accredited management team with a strong history of building and managing operations in Nevada |
| We're pretty excited to talk to you about the past quarter and the past year, about all the things we've accomplished in our plans going forward |
| This is also a very large property and we believe it offers very significant exploration upside |
| And our drill campaigns that we have underway right now are demonstrating that those grades are very real with the success we've been having |
| Despite the trying market that we've seen in 2023, I believe that our company has had a highly successful year with multiple successful exploration campaigns and multiple successful permitting operations |
| We have had some very impressive intercepts so far in the '23 program, up to 6.9 grams over 50.7 meters in step-out drilling to the Southern Ruby Deeps and 7.3 grams over 10.2 meters in the Southern most hole drilled into that structure to date |
| And you can see we've made steady progress at increasing both our development and mining rates at Granite Creek |
| We are currently successfully executing our strategy by growing resources production and in the future, we expect significant cash flow |
| That program was very successful and they define the Archimedes deposit and the Archimedes open pit that was subsequently mined |
| The exploration drill campaign has been highly successful to date |
| Note that the 10,000 tonne parcel under the sulphide toll milling agreement has been ships in Nevada Gold Mines and we expect to finalize the results of the test parcel and to commence regular sulphide shipments to NGM in the fourth quarter, leading to a significant increase in our gold production and sales |
| This investment continued to produce many great asset results in the third quarter, a summary of which was provided in our press release yesterday and will be touched on later in this call |
| On Slide 9, why do we work just in Nevada? Nevada is currently ranked as the world's number one most favorable jurisdiction for both policy, perception and investment attractiveness by the Fraser Institute |
| The early mining which was 100 years resulted in some of the highest grade CRD mines that you'll find anywhere in the world |
| The North most hole that we've drilled into the deposit assay an impressive 17.8% zinc, 0.8% lead, 59.8 grams silver and 0.9 grams gold over 16.4 meters |
| The upside opportunities that we see here are that the GAAP deposit remains completely open down plunge |
| Also, it has very high grades |
| We believe that Cove represents one of the highest grade development stage deposits in all of North America and we are advancing it for full mine development |
| We successfully defined a Carlin-type deposit that is now host to, in all categories, approximately 1.7 million ounces of high-grade gold |
| Our 5-year plan is to grow our production to be in excess of 400,000 ounces of gold equivalent per year and we are achieving our first production at the Granite Creek operation here in 2023 |
| The last, Slide 28 that we'll talk about here in the presentation is that our company has a very active ESG program |
| We are a company that has some of the highest grade open pit and underground operations deposits that you'll find anywhere in North America |
| And we have a very significant outreach to local communities to ensure that we are seen as a valued contributor to the communities in which we work |
| gold producer and our projects are located 100% in Nevada, what is considered to be one of, or if not the, most favorable mining jurisdiction anywhere in the world |
| Statement |
|---|
| The company generated a mine operating loss of $0.5 million for the quarter and $7.5 million year-to-date |
| The mine operating losses year-to-date were primarily the result of write-downs of leach pad inventory at both Ruby Hill and Lone Tree totaling $8.5 million |
| The company reported a net loss for the quarter of $4.2 million or $0.01 per share |
| For the year, the company is in a loss position of $33.3 million or $0.13 per share |
| We permitted the project for underground development but didn't proceed with the underground program at Premier because of our inability to process refractory mineralization |
| And when adjusted for the items previously mentioned, reported adjusted loss for the year of $65.5 million or $0.25 per share |
| That mine was shut down in the early 2000s and the district again went idle until we acquired the project from Waterton a couple of years ago |
| When adjusted for the impact of mark-to-market gains on the company's convertible debt, outstanding warrants, gold prepay modification, gold prepay and silver purchase and sale agreement, the loss was $26 million or $0.09 per share |
