During Q2 2022, the Company reported sales revenue of $9.7 million compared with sales revenue of $10.8 during Q2 2021. This 10% decrease was primarily due to the combined effect of a 3% increase in the average price of gold sold and a 13% decrease in the number of gold ounces sold. Sales revenue increased quarter-on-quarter by 3% from $9.4 million reported in the first quarter of 2022.

Gold sales during the second quarter of 2022 were comprised of 5,249 ounces of gold (Q2 2021: 6,013 ounces of gold) at an average realized gold price of $1,843 per ounce, a 3% increase compared to the price of $1,792 per ounce for the same period in 2021. Gold sold during the second quarter of 2022 was 4% higher than the first quarter of 2022.

Total gold production from Minera’s Corihuarmi mine during the second quarter of 2022 was 15% higher than the first quarter of 2022. The Company is implementing further optimization and reorganization programs aimed to increase gold production quarter-on-quarter and to mitigate against the increasing costs of consumables resulting from rising fuel prices worldwide.
