Osisko Gold Achieves 2024 Targets Despite Challenges
OR reported 20,005 attributable gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”) for the fourth quarter of 2024. This brings the total GEOs for 2024 to 80,740, within the company’s guided 77,000-83,000 GEOs.
However, GEOs declined 14% from 2023, reflecting the impacts of the closure of the Renard diamond mine in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the Eagle mine on June 24, 2024, following a slope failure at its heap leach pad facility.
OR Reports Record 2024 Preliminary Revenues on Higher Prices
Preliminary revenues from royalties and streams for the fourth quarter were C$79.3 million ($56.7 million). Preliminary cost of sales (excluding depletion) came in at C$3.1 million ($2.2 million) in the quarter. OR reported a record quarterly cash margin of C$76.3 million ($54.6 million). The cash margin was 96.2%.
For 2024, preliminary revenues from royalties and streams reached a record C$262.2 million ($191.2 million). The company reported revenues of C$247.3 million ($171.8 million) from royalties and streams in 2023. The impacts of the year-over-year decline in GEOs on Osisko Gold’s revenues were offset by higher gold, silver and copper prices.
The preliminary cost of sales (excluding depletion) for 2024 is estimated at C$9.3 million ($6.7 million). The company reported a record annual cash margin of C$252.9 million ($184.4 million) or 96.5%.
OR will reveal further details when it reports its fourth quarter and 2024 results on Feb. 19, 2025, after market close.
