Growth and Development
• First gold pour at the Séguéla mine in Côte d’Ivoire took place on May 24, 2023, with the first gold shipment having
taken place in July, subsequent to the close of the quarter.
• The transaction to acquire Chesser Resources Limited is continuing to progress and is expected to close in the
third week of September
Jorge A. Ganoza, President and CEO, commented, “The first gold pour and sale at Séguéla is an exciting milestone for the
Company as our new flagship asset enters into production and adds stable, high margin ounces to our portfolio. Ramp-up
activities at the process plant continue to progress, and d uring the month of July the process plant met and exceeded
name plate capacity and is expected to operate at a stable rate through the quarter.”
Mr. Ganoza continued, “Loss of production, stand -by charges and expenses related to the illegal union blockade at the
San Jose Mine and standby charges during the repair of the Armtec tunnel at the Yaramoko Mine, both weighed on the
results and AISC for the second quarter. Despite these headwinds the Company generated positive free cash flow from
ongoing operations of $9.5 million. At Séguéla, although we produced over four thousand ounces in the days prior to
quarter end, ahead of schedule, the first gold sale did not take place until early in the third quarter.”
Mr. Ganoza concluded “With Séguéla contributing it s first full quarter of production in the third quarter, the return of
normal to operations at San Jose, Yaramoko continuing to perform above expectations, and the completion of a stripping

phase in the second quarter at Lindero, we expect growing margins and free cash flow to improve in the third and fourth
quarter of the year”.

Second Quarter 2023 Results
Net income for the quarter was $3.5 million compared to $1.7 million in Q2 2022. After adjusting for non-cash and non-
recurring items, adjusted net income for the quarter was $2.9 million compared to $ 2.1 million in Q2 2022. The slight
increase in adjusted net income is explained by lower income taxes and effective tax rate in Q2 2023, compensating for a
reduction in operating income of $5.4 million compared to Q2 222. The reduction in operating income was due mainly to
lower volume of metal sold at San Jose due to the 15 -day stoppage related to an illegal blockade at the mi ne, and lower
volume at Lindero related to the mine sequence. This impact was combined with higher cash cost of sales per gold
equivalent ounce mainly due to lower production rates and head grades at San Jose associated with the ramp-up process
following the work stoppage at the mine, and higher input costs and lower head grades at Lindero. These effects were
partially offset by lower cost of sales per ounce of gold at Yaramoko. Operating income was further impacted by $7 .3
million of non-recurring expenses comprised of $3.5 million of stand -by charges at San Jose and Yaramoko, $2.8 million
related to a new agreement with the workers´ union at San Jose, and a $1.0 million administrative penalty at Yaramoko
payable to the Ministry of Mines . The positive imp act of higher gold and silver prices in Q2 2023 was offset by a sharp
drop in zinc prices. The realized gold and silver price were $1,974 per ounce and $24.10 per ounce, respectively, in Q2
2023, compared to $1,870 and $22.62, respectively in Q2 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $44.4 million, representing a margin of 28% over sales, compared to $57.9 million
reported in the same period in 2022, representing a margin of 34% over sales. The main driver s for the decrease in
adjusted EBITDA were lower volume sold, non-recurrent items, and higher costs per gold equivalent ounce as described
above.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter of $14.5 million were in line with the same period in 2022. G&A is
comprised of the following items:

Net cash generated by operations for the quarter decreased $3.2 to $44.2 million from $47.4 million in Q2 2022. The
decrease reflects lower EBITDA of $13.5 million partially offset by $7.4 million in positive changes in working capital and
income tax paid. Net cash generated by operations per share was $0.15 compared to $0.16 in Q2 2022.
In the second quarter of 2023 the Company invested $73.2 million in capital expenditures consisting primarily of $35. 6
million in sustaining capital to support underground development, capitalized stripping and other projects at our operating
sites, $19.5 million in construction and pre -production activities at Séguéla, $3.4 million of capitalized interest, a $10.0
million payment to Newcrest related to first gold at Séguéla and $4.5 million in costs related to the Chesser transaction.
Free cash flow from ongoing operations for the quarter was $9.5 million, compared to $21.9 million in Q2 2022. The
decrease of $12.4 million is the result of lower net cash generated by operations of $3.2 million and higher sustaining
capex and brownfields exploration at our operating mines of $10.8 million in Q2 2023.
Consolidated All-in Sustaining Cost
Consolidated AISC per gold equivalent ounce (GEO) sold for the second quarter of 2023 was $1,799 per ounce compared
to $1,434 per ounce for the comparable quarter in 2022. The increase in AISC was primarily the result of lower gold
equivalent ounces sold due to the impact of the illegal blockade at the San Jose Mine, higher sustaining capital related to
Phase 2 of the leach pad expansion and higher capitalized stripping at Lindero, higher underground development at
Yaramoko, $7.3 million in stand -by, and one -time payments from the wor k stoppage at San Jose and the stoppage of
underground mining at Yaramoko, and higher costs of sales per ounce at Lindero related to lower production and higher
input costs.
Liquidity
The Company’s total liquidity available as of June 30, 2023 was $97.9 million, comprised of $93.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents, and $4.5 million undrawn on the $250.0 million revolving credit facility.
Séguéla Gold Mine Construction Update
For the second quarter of 2023 the Company incurred and expended $8.6 million and $8.9 million respectively related to
construction activities. Since the project early works began in the third quarter of 2021 the Company has incurred and
expended $173.6 million and $161.2 million respectively.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
In the second quarter of 2023, a total of 1,503,323 tonnes of ore were placed on the heap leach pad, with an average gold gra de of
0.62 g/t, containing an estimated 29,984 ounces of gold. Gold produ ction for Q2 2023 totaled 25,456 ounces, comprised of 24,599
ounces of doré, an estimated 731 ounces of gold contained in fine carbon, and 126 ounces contained in copper concentrate. Thi s
represents a 12% decrease in total ounces, year-over-year. This decline in gold production can primarily be attributed to a decrease in
the head grade of mineralized material placed on the leach pad, but is in line with the planned mining sequence. Mine product ion for
the quarter was 0.8 million tonnes of mineralized mater ial, with a strip ratio of 2.69:1. This stripping ratio is consistent with the
operation's plan for the year, which anticipates a ratio of 1.17:1.
Cash cost per ounce of gold for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, was $879 compared to $687 in the same perio d in 2022. Cash cost
per ounce of gold was higher due to higher indirect costs, and lower production. This was partially offset by higher strippin g
capitalization and by-product sales from copper.
All-in sustaining cash cost per gold ounce sold was $1,688 during Q2 2023 compared with $1,151 in the same period of 2022. All -in
sustaining cash cost for the second quarter of 2023 was impacted by the cost issues described above, compounded by lower ounc es
sold and significantly higher sustaining capital spend.
During the quarter, sustaining capital expenditures were primarily driven by the development of Phase 2 of the leach pad, hig her
capitalized stripping, plant investments, and capitalized maintenance.

The Yaramoko Mine produced 29,002 ounces of gold in the second quarter of 2023 with an average gol d head grade of
6.51g/t, an 18% increase when compared to the same period in 2022. Production benefitted from higher grades mined
and an increase in milled tonnes. Better than expected grades were sourced from the extension of the deposit beyond
the current resource boundary on the western side of the 55 Zone. Production at Yaramoko is expected to be at the upper
end of annual guidance range. In light of the recent success encountering extensions of mineralization on the fringes of
the resource boundary at Zone 55, the Company expects to provide a Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource update
before year end.
Access to the underground mine was impacted for 27 days in April due to a failure of the Armtec tunnelling structure at
the mine portal. Throughout this period, processing operations were maintained by milling surface ore stockpiles.
Underground mine production resumed on May 1.
Cash cost per ounce of gold sold for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, was $719 compared to $928 in the same period in
2022. Cash cost per ounce decreased due to higher production and higher head grades, lower indirect costs, and lower
mining costs related to lower stoping and operating development costs.
All-in sustaining cash cost per gold ounce sold was $1,626 for Q2 2023, compared to $1,565 for the same period in 2022.
This increase was as a result of increased capital expenditures related to underground development, $2.0 million in stand-
by charges incurred while the mine access ramp was remediated and a $1.0 million administrative penalty.
Sustaining capital for Q2 2023 was higher due to higher mine development and the Zone 55 Primary Vent Circuit extension.
Brownfields expenditure was primarily related to diamond drilling.

In the second quarter of 2023, the San Jose Mine produced 957,265 ounces of silver and 5,778 ounces of gold, 31% and
30% lower, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2022.
The decrease in production is explained by the 15 -day full shutdown of operations due to the illegal blockade by the
workers’ union related to demands for higher profit sharing di stributions and higher absenteeism and resignations of
personnel following the resolution of the blockade. The 15-day shutdown reduced planned production for the quarter by
47,200 tonnes and impacted mine preparation, delaying access to higher grade stopes planned in the quarter. The
Company has adjusted its mine plan to access these higher grade stopes in the third quarter and has taken the necessary
steps to address worker absenteeism.
The cash cost per tonne for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $102.77 compared to $83.57 in the same period
in 2022. The increase was primarily due to inflation and the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, affecting consumables,
labour costs and other services paid in Pesos. Cash cost was further negatively affected b y decreased production due to
the work stoppages noted earlier and the impact of the plant running below optimal throughput rates during quarter.
All-in sustaining cash costs of payable silver equivalent for the three months ended June 30, 2023, increased 24% to $24.07
per ounce, compared to $15.41 per ounce for the same period in 2022. The increase was driven by higher cash cost, lower
production, and an extraordinary bonus negotiated as part of the union agreement. This was offset slightly by lo wer
royalties and lower capital expenditures.
Fortuna | 7
In the second quarter of 2023, sustaining capital expenditure was lower than the same period in 2022, due to the one -
time purchase of two scooptrams in 2022. This was partially offset by higher development co sts in this quarter.
Brownfields expenditures continued to face challenges stemming from geological and operational delays.

The Caylloma Mine produced 305,296 ounces of silver, 10.2 million pounds of lead, and 14.0 million pounds of zinc during
the second quarter of 2023. Silver production was 14% higher compared to the same quarter in 2022, as production
benefitted from higher grade stopes at the lower levels of the Animas vein. Lead and zinc production rose by 34% and
29% respectively, compared to the same period in 2022, due to higher head grades sourced from lower levels at the
Animas vein. Gold production totaled 89 ounces with an average head grade of 0.12 g/t.

The cash cost per tonne of processed ore for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 11% to $103.38 compared
to $93.31 in the same period in 2022. The increase was mainly due to higher mining costs driven by inflation and its direct
impact on the price of materials.
The all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of payable silver equivalent for the three months ended June 30, 2023, increased
5% to $19.18 per ounce, compared to $18.19 per ounce for the same period in 2022. The increase was driven by higher
cash cost and the impact of metal prices on the calculation of silver equivalent ounces. This was partially offset slightly by
lower capital expenditures.
Capital costs for the period primarily consisted of underground development in mine levels 15, 16 and 18.

generate cash. The Company believes that, in addition to financial measures and ratios prepared in accordance with IFRS,
certain investors use these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to evaluate the Company’s performance. However, the
measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures
disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for measures and ratios of the Company’s performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The
Company has calculated these measures consistently for all periods presented.
To facilitate a better understanding of these measures and ratios as calculated by the Company, descriptions are provided
