Investor update summary
9 Jul, 2026Hedge elimination, debt restructuring, and credit facility amendment
All remaining gold hedges (15,000 ounces) were converted into $33.0 million of debt, fully removing the hedge book and providing full exposure to gold price upside.
The debt facility increased from $12.6 million to $46.3 million, with the interest rate reduced from 8.9% to 7.4% and no restructuring fees.
The cost to settle the hedges included $1.5 million for the forward curve and about $2 million in incremental interest if held to term.
$715,000 was spent on 15,000 put contracts at a $3,100 strike for downside protection, as required by lenders.
Repayments are scheduled through June 2027, aligning with the original mine plan and production ramp-up.
Production outlook and operational updates
Manh Choh mine has transitioned from the north pit to pre-stripping in the south pit, with increased sulfide and higher-grade production expected in the next two quarters and record unhedged output in 2027.
2027 is projected as a high-output, low-cost year, with guidance of 75,000–80,000 ounces at $1,200–$1,300 cash cost per ounce.
All future gold production is now unhedged, maximizing leverage to spot gold prices.
All-in sustaining costs are expected to remain manageable, with oil price fluctuations having a contained impact.
The company plans to grow from 60,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold and 5 million ounces of silver production over the next four to five years.
Growth projects and exploration
Kitsault Valley drilling is over halfway through a 40,000 m program, with a new mineral resource estimate expected soon.
Johnson Tract is progressing through permitting, and Lucky Shot drills are active, with all projects funded by internal cash flow.
Guidance on Kitsault production timing is expected next year, following completion of the current drilling and resource update.
Early-stage exploration is ongoing on additional properties in the southern golden triangle area.
The company is evaluating multiple options for securing a mill for Kitsault and Johnson Tract, which is a current top priority.
