(1) For Q2 2018, the results for RDM, Fazenda and Pilar are included in Leagold's results for the 38-day post-Acquisition period from May 24, 2018 to June 30, 2018 (inclusive).

(2) During Q4 2018, the RDM mine experienced a temporary shut-down from early October until November 20 due to regional drought conditions.

 

Leagold CEO Neil Woodyer commented: "2018 was a transformative year for Leagold, as we evolved from a single mine operator into a diversified group with four mines in two countries. Among our Brazilian mines, Fazenda and Pilar both performed as expected in Q4, and the RDM mine was restarted ahead of schedule in late November when the rainy season replenished water supplies. In Mexico, the Los Filos mine demonstrated significant production growth with 25,404 oz produced in December as gold recovery rates are normalizing and resulting in a new record quarterly production of 58,201 oz since our acquisition of the mine in April 2017.  

"Leagold is well positioned to deliver increased production and cash flow in 2019. Studies related to the expansion of Los Filos mine are expected to be released next week. Following this, we will provide 2019 gold production and AISC guidance."
