Wesdome Announces 2019 Second Quarter Production of 22,437 Ounces of Gold Produced

10.07.2019  |  GlobeNewswire

TORONTO, July 10, 2019 - Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:WDO) (“Wesdome” or the “Company”) today announces its gold production results for the second quarter of 2019 (“Q2”).

Mr. Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO commented, “Second quarter production was much stronger than originally anticipated due to the 303 lens continuing to outperform on both budgeted grade and tonnes. In Q2, this lens averaged a mucked grade of 41.1 grams per tonne, and we expect this strong performance to continue from this area in the second half of the year. Year to date production of 41,446 ounces has exceeded the upper end of our first half guidance range (35,000 ounces) by 18%. We are maintaining H2 2019 guidance of 41,000 – 45,000 ounces. The low end of this range will result in forecast production slightly exceeding the top end of our annual guidance range of 80,000 ounces.”

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this press release and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise.

The Company has included in this news release certain non-IFRS performance measures, including, but not limited to, mine operating profit, mining and processing costs and cash costs. Cash costs per ounce reflect actual mine operating costs incurred during the fiscal period divided by the number of ounces produced.

The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow.
