FIVE-YEAR OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
-
See Notes
- Production in 2020 was impacted by a mandated suspension of operations by the Government of Mexico to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Operations were halted in April, partially resumed in May with processing of stockpiles, and fully resumed in June with the restart of open pit and underground mining operations.

Five-Year Production Outlook For the Morelos Complex
Ongoing efforts to further improve the near-term production profile for the Morelos Complex continue to bear fruit with higher production forecast through 2029 than was previously envisioned in the most recent Technical Report entitled “Morelos Property, NI 43-101 Technical Report, ELG Mine Complex Life of Mine Plan and Media Luna Feasibility Study, Guerrero State, Mexico” (“Technical Report”) dated effective March 16, 2022, filed on March 31, 2022.
The improved near-term production outlook is directly related to ongoing efforts to extend and optimize production from ELG and successful results from our exploration and drilling programs over the past two years.
