Wesdome Announces 2021 Third Quarter Financial Results
TORONTO, Nov. 10, 2021 - Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) ("Wesdome" or the "Company") today announces third quarter ("Q3 2021") financial results. All figures are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Achievements for Q3 include:
- Eagle River Complex production of 23,833 ounces Au and YTD production of 76,773 ounces Au sets up well for achieving mid to high end of 2021 guidance (92,000 ounces Au - 105,000 ounces Au)
- Kiena pre commercial production of 5,511 ounces ramping up as planned. Good progress made on Tailings Management Facility enhancements, Paste Fill Plant construction, and mobile equipment procurement advancing this asset towards commercial production status
- The company remains well funded with $69.5 M of cash on hand which allows for organically funding the Kiena restart and aggressive company wide exploration program
Mr. Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO commented, "During the quarter, the Company completed a significant milestone with the successful restart of the Kiena mill, the commencement of underground mining, and the increase in mine construction activities associated with the mine restart. The restart at Kiena has been entirely internally funded, with no debt or dilution to the Company. We produced 5,511 pre-commercial production ounces, and expect 2021's total production from the asset to be within guidance range of 15,000 - 25,000 ounces. As expected, due to initial start up focused on the lower grade S50 zone, located closest to existing development, Kiena cash costs of $1,844 (US$1,463 per ounce) and AISC of $1,891 (US$1,501) per ounce, are not reflective of the asset long term. We expect to be in full commercial production at this asset in Q2 2022. As we continue to ramp up our production, we continue to expect costs to trend downward.
At Eagle, cash costs of $987 (US$783) per ounce and AISC of $1,451 (US$1,152) per ounce were within our guidance range. Operating cash flows were $33.9 million or $0.24 per, and cash margin was $35.3 million. Free cash outflow of $9.1 million was incurred, net of an investment of a $41.1 million investment into the operations, including $27.5 million at Kiena. Year to date, production at Eagle River of 76,773 ounces, leaves us very well positioned to meet the mid to high point of our guidance range of 92,000 ounces - 105,000 ounces.
With the higher costs realized in Q3 from the Kiena start up, year to date combined cash costs of $983 (US$785) per ounce and AISC cost of $1,406 ($US1,123) are slightly above our US cost guidance range of $900 - $1,000 (US$680 - $770) per ounce for cash costs and $1,300 - $1,450 (US$980 - $1090) per ounce AISC. The Kiena costs are pre-commercial production and we expect to achieve full year production guidance. We expect reductions in unit costs as Kiena comes progresses towards commercial production, expected mid next year.
Q3 2021 was a very successful quarter in terms of achieving our stated corporate goals. We now are on the path to having our second operating high-grade underground gold mine, de-risking the Company's single asset producer status, and bringing us that much closer to our objective of becoming Canada's next intermediate gold producer."
The Company also announces today the resignation of Marc-Andre Pelletier, Chief Operating Officer, effective January 15, 2022. Marc will be pursuing another opportunity in a more senior role, a natural progression in his career trajectory. We wish to sincerely thank him for his extensive contributions to the Company, and his key role in the reopening of the Kiena mine, and wish him all the best in his new endeavour."
Key operating and financial highlights of the Q3 2021 results include:
- Gold production of 29,344 ounces, which includes 5,511 Kiena pre-commercial ounces, is a 47% increase over the same period in the previous year (Q3 2020: 20,008 ounces):
- Eagle River Underground 56,003 tonnes at a head grade of 13.4 grams per tonne for 23,621 ounces produced, 22% increase over the previous year (Q3 2020: 19,319 ounces).
- Mishi Open Pit 3,727 tonnes at a head grade of 2.3 g/t Au for 212 ounces produced (Q3 2020: 689 ounces).
- Kiena 30,470 tonnes at a head grade of 5.8 grams per tonne for 5,511 pre-commercial ounces produced.
- Revenue of $67.5 million, a 23% increase over the previous year (Q3 2020: $55.0 million).
- Ounces sold were 30,000 at an average sales price of $2,249/oz (Q3 2020: 21,700 ounces at an average price of $2,532/oz).
- Cash margin1 of $35.3 million, a 10.0% increase over Q3 2020 (Q3 2020 - $32.1 million).
- Operating cash flows increased by 33% to $33.9 million or $0.24 per share1 as compared to $25.6 million or $0.18 per share for the same period in 2020.
- Free cash outflow of $9.1 million, net of an investment of $27.5 million in Kiena, or ($0.06) per share1 (Q3 2020: free cash flow of $3.3 million or $0.02 per share).
- Net income of $15.3 million or $0.11 per share (Q3 2020: $14.6 million or $0.10 per share) and Net income (adjusted)1 of $18.3 million or $0.13 per share (Q3 2020: $14.6 million or $0.10 per share).
- Cash position increased to $69.5 million compared to $67.8 million in the previous quarter.
- Cash costs1 of $1,072/oz or US$851/oz, a 2% increase over the same period in 2020 (Q3 2020: $1,052/oz or US$790/oz) due to the inclusion of the higher cost Kiena pre-commercial ounces ($1,844 (US$1,463) per ounce), which increased the cash cost per ounce sold by $85 (US$67) per ounce;
- All-in sustaining costs ("AISC") 1 increased by 7% to $1,495/oz or US$1,186/oz (Q3 2020 - $1,395 (US$1,047) per ounce) due to the inclusion of the higher cost Kiena pre-commercial ounces ($1,891 (US$1,501) per ounce), which increased the AISC per ounce sold by $44 (US$35), combined with higher sustaining capital, corporate and general expenses and lease payments.

ABOUT WESDOME
Wesdome is Canadian focused with two producing underground gold mines. The Company's strategy is to build Canada's next intermediate gold producer, producing 200,000+ ounces from two mines in Ontario and Qu?bec. The Eagle River Underground Mine in Wawa, Ontario is currently producing gold at a rate of 92,000 - 105,000 ounces per year. The Kiena Complex is a fully permitted mine with a 930-metre shaft and 2,000 tonne-per-day mill, and a restart of operations was announced on May 26, 2021. The Company has completed a PFS in support of the production restart decision. Wesdome is actively exploring both underground and on surface within the mine area and more regionally at both the Eagle River and Kiena Complex. The Company also retains meaningful exposure to the Moss Lake gold deposit, located 100 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario through its equity position in Goldshore Resources Inc. The Company has approximately 140.0 million shares issued and outstanding and trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "WDO".
