'Solid operating results throughout most of our mine portfolio were offset by a challenging first quarter at Red Lake,' said Chuck Jeannes, Goldcorp President and Chief Executive Officer. 'Adverse ground conditions at Red Lake delayed the development of new mining faces in the High Grade Zone which, taken together with lower grade in other areas of the mine, led to our slow start to 2012. Our Mexican operations were a particular area of strength in the first quarter, highlighted by the successful commissioning of the final component of Peñasquito's processing line which positions the mine for strong performance over the balance of 2012.
'The pace of construction and development activities at our growth projects remained impressive in the first quarter as well. The Pueblo Viejo joint venture in the Dominican Republic is nearing completion and set to be our next source of new gold production in mid-2012. The Cerro Negro project in Argentina continues to progress toward expected initial gold production in the second half of 2013, and ongoing exploration success there is enhancing the prospects for additional gold reserve growth. In Canada, construction remains on track at Éléonore for late 2014, which is expected to become one of the country's largest new underground gold mines. The 2014 planned completion of the Cochenour project in Red Lake, Ontario will supplement Red Lake's production profile with sustained, low-cost production and the potential for new exploration success in this world-class camp.'
Financial Review
Gold sales in the first quarter were 545,700ounces on production of 524,700ounces. This compares to sales of 627,300ounces on production of 637,600ounces in the first quarter of 2011. Silver production totaled 6.6 million ounces compared to silver production of 6.1 million ounces in the prior year's first quarter. Total cash costs were $251per ounce of gold on a by-product basis. On a co-product basis, cash costs were $648per ounce, impacted primarily by lower overall gold production.
Net earnings in the quarter were $479million compared to $651million in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted net earnings in the first quarter totaled $404million, or $0.50per share, compared to $392million or $0.49per share, in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted net earnings in the first quarter of 2012 primarily exclude the gains from the foreign exchange translation of deferred income tax liabilities; mark-to-market losses relating to a term silver sales contract; mark-to-market gains on the conversion feature of convertible senior notes and impairment charges related to certain of its equity investments; but include the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses which amounted to approximately $28million or $0.03 per share for the quarter. Operating cash flow before changes in working capital was $480million compared to $463million in last year's first quarter. An average realized gold price of $1,707per ounce for the quarter and total cash costs of $251per ounce resulted in a gold margin(5) of $1,456per ounce of gold sold.
Mexico
Gold and silver production at Peñasquito in the first quarter was 68,600 and 4,955,400 ounces respectively while lead and zinc production totaled 39.2 million pounds and 63.8 million pounds, respectively. Strong by-product production contributed to total cash costs of negative $751 per ounce of gold.
The Company announced on March 28(th) the successful commissioning of the HPGR supplemental feed system, positioning the mine to achieve design processing capacity. As expected, plant throughput during the first quarter of 2012 was affected by the tie-in and commissioning of the HPGR system as well as planned milling circuit maintenance. The mine remains on track to achieve estimated 2012 production guidance of 425,000 ounces of gold. Activities at Peñasquito over the balance of 2012 will focus on further optimization of the processing plant as well as commissioning of the Waste Rock Overland Conveyor system expected in the second half of this year.
Gold production at Los Filos in the first quarter was 82,700 ounces at a total cash cost of $521 per ounce. The construction of new phases of the heap leach pad facility is progressing well and is on track for completion late in the second quarter of 2012. The 2012 exploration program is continuing to follow up on 2011 drilling success through the exploration of the Los Filos pit towards the 4P south area, and El Bermejal pit towards the northwest. The Company is pleased to announce that Los Filos has been awarded Goldcorp's highest safety award for the third year in a row. The Los Filos team's sustained commitment to safety excellence is the embodiment of Goldcorp's dedication to fostering a world-class safety culture throughout the organization.
Canada
At Red Lake in Ontario, first quarter gold production was 114,200 ounces at a total cash cost of $523 per ounce. Adverse ground conditions in the High Grade Zone delayed access to planned high grade stopes. Inconsistent mineralization in the Footwall Zones and lower-than expected grades in the Campbell zone, also contributed to lower overall gold production.
Drilling continued from the 4199 exploration ramp during the first quarter of 2012. The focus of exploration activities remains on the High Grade Zone at depth, testing for the possibility of fault offsets and extensions of the High Grade Zone beyond the current five year reserve. Drilling in this area has intersected large carbonate veins, as well as zones of high-grade gold mineralization. These intercepts, located 10-50 metres from the projection of the High Grade Zone, appear to be either the fault offset or a new zone.
At Porcupine in Ontario, gold production during the first quarter increased to 60,700 ounces at a total cash cost of $786 per ounce, driven by higher throughput. The Hoyle Pond Deep project continued to advance to access both depth extensions of current ore bodies and newly-discovered zones and to enhance operational flexibility and efficiencies throughout the Hoyle Pond operation. The commencement of full-face shaft sinking is planned for the second quarter of 2012. Work related to the Hollinger open pit project focused on completing the first kilometer of haul road construction between the Hollinger site and the Dome mill and equipment purchases, with the first of two shovels arriving on site for assembly during the first quarter of 2012. The development phase of the project will continue for a period of 12-18 months, with initial ore feed from Hollinger expected through the mill in the second half of 2012.
Exploration during the first quarter of 2012 focused on current mineralized zones at Hoyle Pond, including follow-up drilling on positive results achieved in the high-grade VAZ zone. Surface drill programs were focused on targets near the Hoyle Pond Mine as well as a conceptual target near Dome Mine.
Gold production at Musselwhite during the first quarter totaled 53,200 ounces at a total cash cost of $844 per ounce. Exploration in the first quarter focused on continued definition of the Lynx Zone from surface and underground. Surface drilling on Lynx targeted the along-strike extent while two ice rigs targeted the up-dip extent above the current resource. Drilling on the up-dip extent of the Lynx returned positive results and the zone was also intersected at the North Shore, a distance of 1.5 kilometres north of the current resource boundary. Underground drilling has also returned positive results for the C-block of the PQ Deeps north of the 2011 resource boundary. Additionally, early stage exploration of the West Limb target has returned positive results, with a number of mineralized shears intersected in the drilling.
Guatemala
At Marlin in Guatemala, gold and silver production decreased 32% and 6% from the first quarter 2011 to a total of 53,200 ounces and 1,663,100 ounces respectively. Cash costs totaled negative $187 per ounce. The decreases in gold and silver production are consistent with the mine plan following completion of open pit mining operations in the Marlin pit at the end of 2011. Development of the West Vero Zone has progressed as planned and initial production from this area is expected during the second quarter of 2012. Drilling to extend the Delmy vein to the north is also showing positive results.
Advancing the Project Pipeline
At the Pueblo Viejo project in the Dominican Republic, overall construction is approximately 93% complete, with initial production expected in mid-2012. At the end of the first quarter, about 15 million tonnes of ore were stockpiled; representing approximately 1.7 million contained gold ounces. Construction of the tailings facility progressed during the first quarter with the receipt of all permits to allow construction of the starter dam to its full design height. The oxygen plant is on track for pre-commissioning testing in the second quarter of 2012 and full commissioning of the first two of four autoclaves is expected to occur in the second quarter. The Piedra Blanca Substation was commissioned and the site is now able to draw energy from the grid, in the near-term.
As part of a longer-term, optimized power solution for Pueblo Viejo, the Company is advancing a plan to construct a dual fuel power plant at an estimated incremental cost of approximately $300 million (100% basis) or $120 million (Goldcorp's share), of which 90% is committed. The new plant is expected to provide lower cost, long-term power to the project. Earth work for the new power plant has commenced.
At the Cerro Negro project in Argentina, activities at site continued to advance the project in the overall categories of infrastructure and construction, mine development and exploration. The development plan calls for concurrent mining from multiple veins, with initial mining to take place in the Eureka, Mariana Central and Mariana Norte veins. Total underground ramp development for the Eureka vein remained at 1,621 metres of the total 3,900 metres planned, while drifts were driven into the Eureka vein on the 476 and 450 levels. These levels will become the first production blocks to be mined this year. Lateral development continued as planned and ore from the Eureka vein is anticipated to be mined and stockpiled on the surface during 2012. Development of the Mariana Central and Mariana Norte veins also continued to advance in the first quarter of 2012. Surface excavations and earthworks related to the mine portals for decline development continued. Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management was 31% complete at the end of the first quarter of 2012.
Strong exploration results continued at Cerro Negro throughout the first quarter from a total of 118 holes drilled. The primary focus of drilling remains on the in-fill and expansion of the Mariana Central, Mariana Norte and San Marcos deposits, as well as completion of condemnation drilling at primary infrastructure locations. Exceptionally strong results were achieved in the Mariana Norte Hanging Wall quartz vein, San Marcos Sur and Mariana Central.
The Company is subject to import restrictions enacted in Argentina during the first quarter with respect to equipment and materials required for the construction of the Cerro Negro project. While certain delays have been experienced, construction currently remains on schedule for initial gold production in the second half of 2013.
At the Éléonore project in Quebec, construction activities continued to advance on the dual shaft mine design that is expected to feed the 7,000 tonne-per-day plant. The production shaft has been collared and construction of associated infrastructure continued to progress well. The Gaumond exploration shaft reached a depth of 691 metres with completion to full 718 metre depth on track for the second quarter of 2012. The exploration ramp has now advanced 1,200 metres in length and definition drilling is expected to take place from the ramp starting in the third quarter 2012.
Exploration in 2012 continues to focus on increasing the level of confidence in the geological and resources models. Approximately, 45 kilometres of drilling is planned for the year from a combination of surface and underground drills in addition to nine kilometres of expected definition drilling. Three surface rigs were active in the first quarter, with nearly 15,000 metres drilled. Activities have initially targeted the upper portion of the ore body above 650 metres and drilling is now focusing between 650 metres and 800 metres in the center portion of the ore body and in the northern portion of near-surface low-grade gold mineralization.
At the Cochenour project in Ontario, widening of the historical Cochenour shaft continued to advance, with 154 metres completed of a total depth of 238 metres. The Cochenour-Red Lake haulage drift that will transport ore from Cochenour to existing Red Lake processing facilities advanced to 43% of completion. Exploration drilling from the haulage drift is continuing with two drills in operation. Diamond drilling with three drills at surface is underway to define the top portion of the Bruce Channel deposit and additional resources at Cochenour.
Successful exploration and development work also continued at Camino Rojo, an advanced-stage district project near Peñasquito. Drilling has demonstrated that sulphide mineralization extends at depth for at least 400 metres west of the Represa resource. The resource block and geologic models were completed early in the current quarter, and a feasibility study remains on track to be available by mid-2012. At Noche Buena, another advanced-stage district project near Peñasquito, the focus in the first quarter remained on completion of the geologic model and an updated feasibility study is in progress for completion mid-2012.
At the El Morro project in Chile, construction planning and detailed engineering for facilities in the areas approved by the Environmental Impact Assessment ('EIA') continued to progress. Detailed engineering of fresh water and concentrate pipelines is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2012. Detailed engineering of the desalination plant continues and a commitment to purchase equipment has been signed. Detailed engineering for power line towers and foundations is also progressing. Mine and plant equipment selection process in ongoing. The detailed design for the tailings dam are expected to be sufficiently complete in second quarter of 2012 which will allow for application for sectoral permits in the third quarter. Condemnation drilling activities at site continued with over 20 kilometres drilled to date and 8,500 metres in the first quarter of 2012.
2012 Outlook
Goldcorp's current 2012 gold production guidance is 2.6 million ounces at total cash costs of $250 to $275 per ounce of gold on a by-product basis and $550 to $600 per ounce of gold on a co-product basis. The Company is currently analyzing the potential impact of first quarter production delays at Red Lake to Goldcorp's overall 2012 production and cash costs.
