Highlights:
- In 12m 2022, hard rock gold production amounted to 771.5 kg (24,805 oz), compared with 893.3 kg (28,720 oz) in 12m 2021, a decrease of 14%, or 121.8 kg (3,915 oz);
- Alluvial gold production by a third party mining contractor at Staroverinskaya amounted to 8.6 kg (278 oz) compared with 17.5 kg (563 oz) a decrease of 51%, or 8.9 kg (286 oz). The mining contractor was delayed due to supply problems with his equipment, caused by the current situation.
- In 12m 2022, total gold sales were 882.2 kg (28,364 oz), compared with 818.5 kg (26,316 oz) in 12m 2021, an increase of 63.7 kg (2,047 oz), or 8%;
- 413,323 tonnes of ore with average grade of 2.04 g/t were processed through the CIL plant compared with 428,327 tonnes in 12m 2021, a decrease of 4%, or 15,004 tonnes
- The average grade in 12m 2022 was 2.04 g/t, compared to 2.30 g/t in 12m 2021, a decrease of 11%;
- 355,310 tonnes of ore were mined in 12m 2022, compared with 458,490 tonnes in 12m 2021, a decrease of 103,180 tonnes or 23%. Stripping volume amounted to 2,196,300 m3 (+337,000 m3, or 18% more than in 12m 2021);
The Company predicted 800 – 830 kg of gold produced in 2022, but the actual gold production was 780.2 kg. The main reason for nonfulfillment inability of the mining contractor at Staroverinskaya to get his equipment delivered on time.
Other updates:
The Company’s subsidiaries continue to sell gold with discounts to the LBMA gold price, as previously reported. The discounts have risen following the decision of the G7 to terminate gold imports into its countries. This, together with the LBMA gold price decrease and strengthened Ruble/USD are factors that have had a significant negative effect on the Group’s financial performance in 2022; we expect these factors to be the same in 2023.
