  • True North - Completed drilling and rehab activities, expect to make a production decision in the third quarter of 2016. Anticipated recovery of 8,000 - 12,000 gold ounces in second half of 2016 should Company proceed with a production decision.
  • Capital Expenditures - Spent $8.4 million at Fire Creek, $7.7 million at Midas, $5.8 million at True North, and $0.1 million at corporate for total capital spending of $21.9 million.

Recent Developments

  • Acquisitions and Equity Offering - As discussed in detail within Note 22. Subsequent Events, on July 25, 2016, Klondex entered into (1) an agreement to purchase the Hollister mine ("Hollister") and the Esmeralda mine and milling complex ("Esmeralda") and (2) an agreement for a "bought deal" private placement.

Mr. Paul Huet, President and CEO, commented, "Our second quarter operational and financial performance was exceptional. We produced a record 41,436 GEOs for the quarter and generated over $23 million of operating cash flow. Our progress at True North has been beyond our expectations and we are looking forward to making a production decision in the third quarter." Mr. Huet continued, "In less than four years, Klondex has evolved from a junior exploration company with one project at Fire Creek to become an established gold producer with multiple projects and mills in two countries. I am very proud of our team for their important contributions to our success."

2016 Full Year Outlook

Nevada Operations

We are maintaining our targeted annual production costs and GEO production, which is expected to be weighted approximately 45%-50% in the first-half of 2016 and 50%-55% in the second-half of 2016. 2016 GEO production and grades are expected to progressively increase from the first half of the year to the second half of the year following the completion of planned first-half development and silling activities. The following table outlines annual guidance (compared to actual results) and includes all-in costs per gold ounce sold measures exclusive of True North, which was acquired during the first quarter of 2016 after the release of full-year guidance:

True North

We expect to produce 8,000 - 12,000 gold ounces during the second half of 2016 from a combination of processing gold in tailings and test stope mining. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, we began processing tailings and at the end of July we poured our first doré bar.

When compared to the prior year quarter, second quarter 2016 Revenues were higher from selling an additional 5,731 gold ounces at a $53 higher average realized price, partially offset by a decrease in silver sales due to low silver grades. Production costs were in-line with expectations and decreased on a per ounce basis from the prior quarter as we benefited from an increased mining rate and higher grades due to additional working faces and sequencing abilities resulting from previously completed ore development. Depreciation and depletion increased from the prior year periods due to the sale of increased GEOs, offset by lower per ounce amounts from increased resource bases. General and administrative expenses increased in 2016 due to increased staff levels at the corporate office and severance payments. Finance charges were primarily related to the gold purchase agreement, finance leases, and the promissory note pursuant to the True North acquisition, which also resulted in business acquisition costs. Provision for legal settlement totaled $2.3 million for which no comparable amount existed in the prior year quarter.

As a result of increased mill throughput and higher grades at Fire Creek, during the second quarter of 2016 we produced a record 41,436 GEOs, bringing our year to date consolidated GEO production to 71,592 GEOs; which is approximately 48.5% of our annual guidance's midpoint range. 2016 operating targets anticipate GEO production and grades progressively increasing throughout the year which we expect will result in lower second half cost measures compared to the first six months of 2016. The 86,194 ore tons milled (average of 947 tons per day) represented a quarterly record and increased by an average of 131 tons per day over the first quarter of 2016, thereby accommodating planned lower ore grades in the first half of the year. Our second-half strategy entails continuing to increase the average daily milling rate at the Midas mill, which has a design capacity of 1,200 tons per day, to allow us to meet our annual production goal.

Despite planned lower first-half 2016 grades, we generated significant cash margins on a consolidated basis. Production cash costs per GEO sold decreased by $90 (or 13.1%) from the first quarter of 2016 to $595 in the second quarter of 2016, resulting in production cash costs per GEO sold of $636 for the first half of 2016. Second quarter 2016 production costs were positively impacted by increased tons and higher grades from additional working faces and sequencing abilities provided by previously completed ore development.

True North Project (Manitoba, Canada)

We expect to release an updated mineral resource estimate and be in a position to make a formal production decision in the third quarter of 2016. We have replaced 100% of the guides on the shaft and have repaired approximately 95% of the track (approximately 6,000 ft). Additional infrastructure included a new underground shop and new gear storage cut-outs, which are approximately 95% complete. We initiated testing of narrow vein long hole design to reduce dilution. We also received initial metallurgical testing results on existing tailings which indicate that the tailings can be processed through the existing mill flow sheet. We began processing tailings subsequent to June 30, 2016, and at the end of July poured our first doré bar.

These Non-IFRS Measures are used internally to assess our operating and economic performance and to provide key performance information to management. We believe that these Non-IFRS Measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate our performance and ability to generate cash flows required to fund our business. These Non-IFRS Measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These Non-IFRS Measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to or consistent with measures used by other issuers or with amounts presented in our financial statements.

Our primary business is gold production and our future development and current operations primarily focus on maximizing returns from such gold production. As a result, our Non-IFRS Measures are calculated and disclosed on a per gold ounce basis.

Production Cash Costs per Gold Equivalent Ounce Sold

Production cash costs per gold equivalent ounce sold presents our cash costs associated with the production of gold equivalent ounces and, as such, non-cash depreciation and depletion charges are excluded. Production cash costs per gold equivalent ounce sold is calculated on a per gold equivalent ounce sold basis, and includes all direct and indirect operating costs related to the physical activities of producing gold, including mining, processing, third-party refining expenses, on-site administrative and support costs, and royalties (State of Nevada net proceeds taxes are excluded). Gold equivalent ounces are computed as the number of silver ounces required to generate the revenue derived from the sale of one gold ounce, using average realized selling prices (table in thousands, except ounces sold and per ounce amounts):

All-in Sustaining Costs per Gold Ounce Sold

All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold presents the full cost of gold production from our current operations; therefore, capital amounts related to expansion and growth projects are excluded. Certain other cash expenditures, including State of Nevada net proceeds taxes, federal tax payments, and financing costs are also excluded. Our calculation of all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold is consistent with the June 2013 guidance released by the World Gold Council, a non-regulatory, non-profit market development organization for the gold industry.

We calculate our all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold on a consolidated basis as ore from both Fire Creek and Midas is processed at Midas and because general and administrative expenses are related to our mining operations as a whole. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold includes all (1) direct and indirect operating cash costs related to the physical activities of producing gold, including mining, processing, third-party refining expenses, on-site administrative and support costs, and royalties, (2) general and administrative expenses, (3) decommissioning provision accretion, and (4) sustaining capital expenditures, the total of which is reduced for revenues earned from silver sales (table in thousands, except ounces sold and per ounce amounts):

Production costs   $ 22,575     $ 20,684     $ 43,922     $ 42,337

  All-in sustaining costs per gold  ounce sold   $ 968     $ 599     $ 1,014     $ 693  
(1) Includes ounces sold (if any) under the  Gold Supply Agreement and ounces delivered under the Gold Purchase Agreement; see Notes 7 and 9.
 

We define sustaining capital expenditures as those costs which are required to sustain current gold ounce production levels. As such, sustaining capital expenditures exclude amounts for exploration activities, mine development, and permitting activities related to long-term growth and expansion efforts. For a reconciliation of our sustaining and non-sustaining (growth) capital expenditures see the Investing Cash Flows part of the Financial Position, Liquidity, and Capital Resources section of the MD&A.

All-in Costs per Gold Ounce Sold

All-in costs per gold ounce sold includes additional costs which reflect the varying costs of producing gold over the life-cycle of a mine or project. We calculate our all-in costs per gold ounce sold by beginning with the all-in sustaining costs total and adding non-sustaining (growth) capital expenditures and other costs not related to current operations (table in thousands, except ounces sold and per ounce amounts):

         
    Three  months ended June 30,   Six months  ended June 30,
    2016   2015   2016   2015
All-in sustaining costs   $ 31,460   $ 16,038   $ 60,308   $ 37,381
Non-sustaining capital  expenditures (excluding True North)     3,725     10,729     7,295     17,602
    All-in costs (excluding True  North)     35,185     26,767     67,603     54,983
Gold ounces sold(1)     32,499     26,768     59,463     53,903
