During the third quarter, the Company has resumed expanded operations as planned. Production from the Elk mine during this period was in line with expectations as stripping continued to advance in preparation for accessing the main ore body in the Siwash North Pit. The combination of significant stripping against anticipated low production of gold ounces in Q3 2025 resulted in higher unit costs than Q3 2024, however these costs are expected to normalize in Q4 2025.
