10.03.2020  |  GlobeNewswire
TORONTO, March 10, 2020 - Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) (“Wesdome” or the “Company”) (“Q4 2019”) and full year 2019 financial results. The Company’s full consolidated financial statements and management discussion & analysis are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.wesdome.com. All figures are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Key highlights of 2019:

  • Production increased by 28% over 2018.
  • Cash costs decreased by 9% over 2018.
  • Eagle River Complex free cash flow generation of $48.4 million.
  • Company free cash flow1 generation of $6.6 million, net of investing $25.1 million into the Kiena Complex.
  • Net income increased 2.7 times over 2018 and adjusted net income1 increased 2.5 times over 2018.
  • Operating cash flow increased by 1.5 times over 2018.
  • Increased Eagle River reserves by 36% net of 91,066 ounces of depletion.
  • Increased Eagle River reserve grade by 20% to 14.4 grams per tonne
  • Increased Eagle River Measured and Indicated Resources by 258%, or 3.6 times over 2018.
  • Increased Kiena Mineral Indicated Resources at the Deep A Zone by 4.1 times over 2018.
  • Concluded a $45.0 million Secured Credit Facility.

1 Refer to the Company’s 2019 Annual Management Discussion and Analysis on pages 29 – 36, entitled “Non-IFRS Performance Measures” for the reconciliation of these non-IFRS measurements to the financial statements.

Mr. Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO commented, “In 2019, we continued to decrease costs and build up free cash flow, largely driven by an almost doubling of production at Eagle River over the last three years. Cash costs of $825 per ounce (US$621 per ounce) and all-in sustaining costs of $1,293/oz (US$975) per ounce were both below guidance, due to higher grades.

Eagle River reserves increased by 36% net of production, and reserve grade increased by 20%. Measured and Indicated resources increased by 258%. Looking ahead, in 2020 we plan to further increase production at Eagle River Complex, with guidance of 90,000 – 100,000 ounces, and increase the exploration and definition drilling to 105,500 metres (2019: 71,000 metres).

The Eagle River operations generated $48.4 million of free cash flow, of which the majority was reinvested in major exploration programs at Kiena.

Kiena indicated resources at the Deep A Zone increased by 308% over the initial estimate in 2018. The Kiena project is also advancing very well. The PEA is on track to be completed in Q2 2020, and concurrently we are drilling 85,000 metres in 2020 (2019: 59,000 metres). After the PEA, we plan to update our resource statement to incorporate an additional 60,000 metres of drilling since our last update and complete a pre-feasibility study which will establish reserves.

Company-wide in 2019 we generated $6.6 million in free cash flow, or $0.05 per share, compared to $2.8 million or $0.02 per share in 2018. On behalf of management and the board of directors, I would like to thank both teams at Eagle River and Kiena for a job done very well and safely. We experienced a 30% improvement in our safety performance and of all the achievements in 2019 we are especially proud of that one.”

PRODUCTION AND EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS


Mine or Projects
Achievements
Eagle River
  • Ongoing extension and definition drilling of the 300 East Zones. In particular, the 303 Lens, has continued to return high grade gold intersections. The 303 Lens defines a zone where increased widths and grades have been returned. This zone has now been extended an additional 300 m down plunge to the 1,300 m-level.
  • Surface drilling continues to extend and better define the Falcon Zones, located in volcanic rocks approximately 200 m west of the mine diorite. Surface drilling has continued to expand the zone of mineralization to a depth of 4400 m elevation (i.e. 600 vertical m below surface) and over a strike of 200 m.
  • In order to better test the down plunge extension of the Falcon Zones, a drill rig has been positioned underground on the 772 m elevation. Initial drilling from underground has intersected visible gold mineralization in quartz veining approximately 70 m down plunge of the Falcon Zones. Assaying of this hole returned 160.5 g/t Au over 3.9 m. Given the steep easterly plunge defined by the recent drilling, it is interpreted that the Falcon 7 Zone now extends an additional 500 m down plunge and is the up-plunge extension of the 7 Zone currently being mined near the 1,000 m elevation. This down plunge extension of the Falcon Zones is located proximal to existing mine infrastructure, and as such, remains one of the priorities for surface and underground drilling in the first half of 2020. The Falcon Zones have the potential to provide additional workplaces required to increase the throughput rate from Eagle River underground.
  • A 33,500 m surface drilling program is planned for 2020 to concentrate on better defining and expanding the Falcon Zones and later in the year focus on regional targets west of the mine diorite where recent surface sampling has returned numerous anomalous gold values.
Kiena
  • Seven underground drills are now in operation completing the infill and up and down plunge extension drilling of the Kiena Deep A Zone. This drilling has continued to confirm the overall continuity of the geometry and the high-grade gold mineralization of the Kiena Deep A Zone and identify additional mineralization outside of the most recent resource estimate. Recent drilling has extended the gold mineralization of the A Zone an additional 100 m down plunge and now extends a total in excess of 830 m.
  • The 79 Level Ramp has been completed in early 2020. It provides optimal drill platforms for testing the up-plunge extension of the Kiena Deep A Zone between the 670 m-level and the 1050 m-level and will serve as a haulage drift for any future production from this area as it accesses the main shaft level dump pocket. Initial drilling on 79 Level intersected a new zone of gold mineralization in a previously untested area along strike from the S50 Zone.
  • Increased Kiena Deep A Zone Indicated resources from 99,300 ounces to 405,100 ounces and resource grade from 9.95 g/t Au to 18.55 g/t Au. Increased Kiena Deep A Zone inferred resources from 241,100 ounces to 332,000 ounces and resource grade from 11.43 g/t Au to 15.27 g/t Au.
  • The Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) study is ongoing and is expected to be completed in Q2 2020.
  • The completed PEA and subsequent resource update will lead into a more detailed Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) based upon positive results and exploration success. The intention of the PFS is to come to a production decision and restart the Kiena Mine as Wesdome’s second operating mine, thereby significantly de-risking the Company.

Technical Disclosure

The technical content of this release has been compiled, reviewed and approved by Marc-André Pelletier, P. Eng, Chief Operating Officer, and Michael Michaud, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration of the Company and each a "Qualified Person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101 -Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Reserves and Resources

The mineral reserve and resource estimates reported in this news release were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applies different standards in order to classify and report mineralization. This news release uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources, as required by NI 43-101. Readers are advised that although such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities regulations, the SEC does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all, of the mineral deposits in these categories constitute or will ever be converted into mineral reserves. In addition, “inferred” mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, is economically or legally mineable or will ever be upgraded to a higher category of mineral resource.
