Wesdome Announces 2018 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

TORONTO, Feb. 21, 2019 -- Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) (“Wesdome” or the “Company”) today announces fourth

quarter (“Q4 2018”) and full year 2018 financial results. All figures are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Key highlights of 2018:

• Eagle River Complex free cash flow generation of $30 million

• Company free cash flow generation of $2.8 million

• Adjusted net earnings increased 119% over 2017

• Operating cash flow increased by 65% over 2017

• Production increased by 21% over 2017

• Cash costs decreased by 17% over 2017

Mr. Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO commented, “In 2018, we delivered at the top end of our grade guidance of 11.7

grams per tonne gold (“gpt or g/t”) (11.3 – 11.7 gpt guidance) at Eagle River, and the midpoint of our raised production

guidance range of 71,625 ounces. These results are 11% and 21% better than 2017, respectively. Accordingly, our cash costs

of $905 per ounce (US$699) and all in sustaining costs of $1,276 per ounce (US$985) for the year were both below our

guidance ranges of $925 – $1,000 (US$720 – US$770) per ounce and $1,350 - $1,425 per ounce (US$1,050 - US$1,100). This

beat in cost metrics is primarily attributable to higher mined grades, and improvements in underground mining efficiencies,

which we expect to continue in 2019.

“Free cash flow for the fourth quarter was an outflow of $4.5 million or ($0.03 per share), the only quarter in five quarters to have

a negative cash flow. This is due to the timing of major projects in 2018, such as the construction of a new mine dry at Eagle,

as well as ramping up the drill metres (“m”) at the Kiena Complex in Val d’Or, Quebec in preparation for an updated resource

estimate in the Kiena Deep A-Zone later this year.  Free cash flow for the year was $2.8 million, or $0.02 per share, versus an

outflow of $12.1 million or ($0.09) per share in 2017. Eagle River operations have been funding all the Company’s sustaining

and project capital and exploration, including the $21.5 million 2018 exploration and development program at the Kiena

Complex in Val d’Or, Quebec.

“Looking ahead, in 2019 we expect to produce 72,000 – 80,000 ounces of gold, primarily from the Eagle River Underground

mine, where we forecast 69,000 – 76,000 ounces of gold, above reserve grade at 15.5 – 16.5 gpt. Higher grades are expected

due to more H2 production within the high grade 303 lens. The Mishi Open Pit will contribute 3,000 – 4,000 ounces at a grade

of 2.0 – 2.4 gpt in the first half of the year. Throughout the year we expect lower cash costs than 2018, of $830 - $900 per

ounce (US$640 – US$690), and flat all-in sustaining costs of $1,280 - $1,350 per ounce (US$985 – US$1,040).  2019 all-in

sustaining cost guidance remains the same as 2018 actuals due to higher underground development rates and slightly higher

in-mine exploration. New development is underway at the Eagle River Underground mine to provide drill platforms for the

planned 51,000 m of exploration drilling and 43,000 m of definition drilling to better define and expand the current resource

base at the high grade 303 East Zone up and down plunge, the 711 and 300 W Zone down plunge, and at various locations

along the 8 Zone. At Kiena, there are currently five drills in operation on the A Zone and remain focused on the up and down

plunge potential in advance of an updated mineral resource estimate later in 2019.  Four drills are on the 1050 m level

exploration ramp completing the infill and plunge extension drilling, and a 5 th drill is now drilling at the 670 m elevation to test

the interpreted up plunge extension of the A Zone towards the VC zone area.  Recent drilling has continued to return very high-

grade results both up and down plunge from the area of the current resource estimate and we are confident this will continue to

grow.  Hole 6398 was the first hole drilled from the new development to intersect the up-plunge extension of the A Zone and

returned 19.2 g/t Au, or 9.2 g/t Au cut over 5.4 m true width.  The mineral resource estimate only includes drilling over

approximately 400 m of the potential 1.2 km of plunge length interpreted from our recent 3D geologic modelling and will be the

Company’s focus going forward.”

non-IFRS measurements to the financial statements.

Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO, added, “At the Eagle River Underground Mine, we were able to maintain the Mineral

Reserves at 404,000 ounces of gold from 1.0 million tonnes at an overall grade of 12.0 gpt Au; as compared to the Mineral

Reserves as of December 31, 2017 of 1.1 million tonnes at a grade of 12.2 gpt Au containing 416,000 ounces of gold. There

was a slight depletion in reserves this year due to our in mine exploration program, targeting the parallel zones, only

accessing beneficial drill platforms later in the year. We view the current parallel zones exploration program, targeting both up

and down plunge and to the east, as a three year project with encouraging results to date. The theory that the parallel zones

may continue across the mine diorite, similar to the 8 Zone, is entirely valid at this point. As such, the 7 Zone reserves

increased 30% from 97,000 ounces in 2017 to 126,000 ounces in 2018, while maintaining a grade of 13 gpt. A review of the

mineral resources and reserves during 2018 has resulted in a significant decrease in mineral reserves at the Mishi Pit.  Poor

ore reconciliation on the lower benches, which in turn has increased the stripping ratio of waste to ore, has negatively affected

the current pit economics.  Our strategy is to become Canada’s next mid-tier producer and therefore have 100% production

from the Wawa operations to be entirely from the high grade Eagle River Underground mine, thereby generating additional

ounces at higher margins.”

Exploration Highlights Achievements

Eagle River

• Initial mining of the 300E Zone between the 864 and 844 metre level (“m-level ”) has

continued to confirm the continuity of the strong grades and the geometry of the mineralized

zone defined by drifts and the encompassing drill holes.  The 303E Zone accounts for

approximately 20% of the current mineral reserves and will continue to be the focus of mining

development in 2019.

• Ongoing development on 1038 m-level has now confirmed that mineralization east of the

western core of the 7 Zone, have merged to form one zone now defined over 146 m in strike

length and grading 30.5 g/t Au over an average true thickness of 2.61 m.  Further, limited

drilling indicates that the eastern extension of the 7 Zone occurs to the southeast side of a

northeast transecting diabase dyke that is interpreted to offset the eastern extension

approximately 20 m.  Drilling is planned for this area in 2019.

• A 20,000 m surface drilling program is planned for 2019 to identify new zones along strike

and to the east of the 7 and 300 zones at upper levels of the mine that would have the

potential to positively impact the gold production from the Eagle River underground mine.  In

addition, a fourth underground drill has been added to test this area at depth.

Kiena

• Drilling of the Kiena Deep A Zone is ongoing with 5 drill rigs.  2018 drilling from the

exploration ramp has continued to intersect often multiple high grade lenses comprised of

shear zone hosted quartz veins, including 177.3 g/t Au over 5.1 m core length (6.5 g/t Au cut,

5.1 m true width) in hole 6321 and 163.8 g/t Au over 3.0 m core length (13.1 g/t Au over 2.6 m

true width) in hole 6338.

• Following the continued success of the ongoing diamond drill program, the Company

extended the current exploration platforms by a total of 504 m.

• 2018 drilling of the A Zone has identified a well-defined, moderate plunge of approximately 45

degrees to the SE to the gold mineralization that occurs predominantly along the basalt –

chlorite-carbonate schist boundary.  It is now understood that the A Zone occurs along a

connecting structure between the regional structure hosting the S50 and VC zones,

respectively.  Four drills are in operation on the 1050 m-level exploration ramp completing the

infill and plunge extension drilling, and a 5th drill is now drilling at the 670 m elevation to test

the interpreted up plunge extension of the A Zone towards the VC zone area.  This up plunge

extension is interpreted to be in excess of 425 m and would be in addition to the 500 m of

plunge length already defined by drilling. A 50,000 m drill program is underway.  This could

significantly expand the potential resource base of the A Zone and will be the focus of drilling

this year and into 2019.

• An interim resource estimate was completed on December 12, 2018 with total Indicated

Resources stand at 574,300 ounces of gold corresponding to a total of 3.1 million tonnes

(“Mt”) at 5.84 g/t Au; Inferred Resources stand at 1,007,200 ounces of gold corresponding to

a total of 4.1 Mt at 7.57 g/t Au; and the Exploration target for the Kiena Deep A Zones

represents of a range of 300,000 t - 450,000 t grading between 8.0 and 11.0 g/t Au for 80,000-

160,000 ounces of gold.  Wesdome plans to update the mineral resource estimate at the

Kiena gold deposit in the second half of this year.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Reserves and Resources

The mineral reserve and resource estimates reported in this news release were prepared in accordance with National

Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“ NI 43-101”) as required by Canadian securities regulatory

authorities. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC”) applies different standards in order to

classify and report mineralization. This news release uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources,

as required by NI 43-101. Readers are advised that although such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities

regulations, the SEC does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the

SEC. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories constitute or will

ever be converted into mineral reserves. In addition, “inferred” mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their

existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an

inferred mineral resource exists, is economically or legally mineable or will ever be upgraded to a higher category of mineral

resource.
