Wesdome Announces 2021 Third Quarter Financial Results

Kiena Progresses Towards Commercial Production

TORONTO, Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) (“Wesdome” or the “Company”)

today announces third quarter (“Q3 2021”) financial results. All figures are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Achievements for Q3 include:

• Eagle River Complex production of 23,833 ounces Au and YTD production of 76,773 ounces Au sets up well for

achieving mid to high end of 2021 guidance (92,000 ounces Au – 105,000 ounces Au)

• Kiena pre commercial production of 5,511 ounces ramping up as planned. Good progress made on Tailings

Management Facility enhancements, Paste Fill Plant construction, and mobile equipment procurement advancing this

asset towards commercial production status

• The company remains well funded with $69.5 M of cash on hand which allows for organically funding the Kiena restart

and aggressive company wide exploration program   

Mr. Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO commented, “During the quarter, the Company completed a significant milestone

with the successful restart of the Kiena mill, the commencement of underground mining, and the increase in mine construction

activities associated with the mine restart. The restart at Kiena has been entirely internally funded, with no debt or dilution to

the Company. We produced 5,511 pre-commercial production ounces, and expect 2021’s total production from the asset to be

within guidance range of 15,000 – 25,000 ounces. As expected, due to initial start up focused on the lower grade S50 zone,

located closest to existing development, Kiena cash costs of $1,844 (US$1,463 per ounce) and AISC of $1,891 (US$1,501)

per ounce, are not reflective of the asset long term. We expect to be in full commercial production at this asset in Q2 2022. As

we continue to ramp up our production, we continue to expect costs to trend downward.

At Eagle, cash costs of $987 (US$783) per ounce and AISC of $1,451 (US$1,152) per ounce were within our guidance range.

Operating cash flows were $33.9 million or $0.24 per, and cash margin was $35.3 million. Free cash outflow of $9.1 million

was incurred, net of an investment of a $41.1 million investment into the operations, including $27.5 million at Kiena. Year to

date, production at Eagle River of 76,773 ounces, leaves us very well positioned to meet the mid to high point of our guidance

range of 92,000 ounces – 105,000 ounces.

With the higher costs realized in Q3 from the Kiena start up, year to date combined cash costs of $983 (US$785) per ounce

and AISC cost of $1,406 ($US1,123) are slightly above our US cost guidance range of $900 - $1,000 (US$680 - $770) per

ounce for cash costs and $1,300 - $1,450 (US$980 - $1090) per ounce AISC. The Kiena costs are pre-commercial production

and we expect to achieve full year production guidance. We expect reductions in unit costs as Kiena comes progresses

towards commercial production, expected mid next year.

Q3 2021 was a very successful quarter in terms of achieving our stated corporate goals. We now are on the path to having our

second operating high-grade underground gold mine, de-risking the Company’s single asset producer status, and bringing us

that much closer to our objective of becoming Canada’s next intermediate gold producer.”

The Company also announces today the resignation of Marc-Andre Pelletier, Chief Operating Officer, effective January 15,

2022. Marc will be pursuing another opportunity in a more senior role, a natural progression in his career trajectory. We wish

to sincerely thank him for his extensive contributions to the Company, and his key role in the reopening of the Kiena mine, and

wish him all the best in his new endeavour.”

Key operating and financial highlights of the Q3 2021 results include:

• Gold production of 29,344 ounces, which includes 5,511 Kiena pre-commercial ounces, is a 47% increase over the

same period in the previous year (Q3 2020: 20,008 ounces):

◦ Eagle River Underground 56,003 tonnes at a head grade of 13.4 grams per tonne for 23,621 ounces produced,

22% increase over the previous year (Q3 2020: 19,319 ounces).

◦ Mishi Open Pit 3,727 tonnes at a head grade of 2.3 g/t Au for 212 ounces produced (Q3 2020: 689 ounces).

◦ Kiena 30,470 tonnes at a head grade of 5.8 grams per tonne for 5,511 pre-commercial ounces produced.

• Revenue of $67.5 million, a 23% increase over the previous year (Q3 2020: $55.0 million).

• Ounces sold were 30,000 at an average sales price of $2,249/oz (Q3 2020: 21,700 ounces at an average price of

$2,532/oz).

• Cash margin1 of $35.3 million, a 10.0% increase over Q3 2020 (Q3 2020 - $32.1 million).

• Operating cash flows increased by 33% to $33.9 million or $0.24 per share1 as compared to $25.6 million or $0.18 per

share for the same period in 2020.

• Free cash outflow of $9.1 million, net of an investment of $27.5 million in Kiena, or ($0.06) per share1 (Q3 2020: free

cash flow of $3.3 million or $0.02 per share).  

• Net income of $15.3 million or $0.11 per share (Q3 2020: $14.6 million or $0.10 per share) and Net income (adjusted)1

of $18.3 million or $0.13 per share (Q3 2020: $14.6 million or $0.10 per share).  

• Cash position increased to $69.5 million compared to $67.8 million in the previous quarter.

• Cash costs 1 of $1,072/oz or US$851/oz, a 2% increase over the same period in 2020 (Q3 2020: $1,052/oz or

US$790/oz) due to the inclusion of the higher cost Kiena pre-commercial ounces ($1,844 (US$1,463) per ounce), which

increased the cash cost per ounce sold by $85 (US$67) per ounce;

• All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) 1 increased by 7% to $1,495/oz or US$1,186/oz (Q3 2020 - $1,395 (US$1,047) per

ounce) due to the inclusion of the higher cost Kiena pre-commercial ounces ($1,891 (US$1,501) per ounce), which

increased the AISC per ounce sold by $44 (US$35), combined with higher sustaining capital, corporate and general

expenses and lease payments.

IFRS measurements to the financial statements. 

Production and

Exploration Highlights Achievements

Eagle River

• Q3 2021 Eagle River production increased by 22% from Q3 2020 to 23,621 ounces of gold,

due to a 25% increase in total throughput; offset partially by a 3% decrease in head grade.

Head grade at Eagle River in Q3 2021 averaged 13.4 g/t.

• Q3 2021 Cash cost of $987 (US$783) per ounce of gold sold 1 decreased by 6% or $66 from

Q3 2020 primarily due to a 24% increase in ounces sold.

• Q3 2021 AISC of $1,451 (US$1,152) per ounce of gold sold1 increased by 6% or $56 from Q3

2020 primarily due to higher mine development and infrastructure spending; partially offset by

a 24% increase in ounces sold.

• Generated $34.2 million in cash margin in Q3 2021 compared to $32.1 million in the same

period in 2020, despite the average realized Canadian gold price being 11% lower at

$2,249/oz (Q3 2020 - $2,532/oz).

• The Eagle River underground ore processed was slightly lower in Q3 2021 due to two weeks

of scheduled downtime for the installation of a new cone crusher and the annual mill

maintenance. Production in Q4 is expected to increase to 650 tpd as no project maintenance

downtime is planned. Ventilation improvements continue at depth, which has increased the

air flow in the deepest section of the ramp area. Production from the Falcon Zone started late

in Q3 and will continue in Q4, providing a new high-grade area.   Initial sill development has

been completed on the Falcon 7 zone on the 622 and 635 levels in support of the current

mining. Chip sampling and test holes taken on these two horizons during the initial

development confirms earlier exploration drill results by returning high gold grades over

continuous strike length. 622 level chip sampling yielded 54.3 grams of gold per tonne (g/t

Au) (uncapped) and 37.9 g/t Au (capped at 125 g/t Au) over an average thickness of 2.1

metres (m) over a continuous strike length of 75.6 m. Also, 635 level chip sampling yielded

67.3 g/t Au (uncapped) and 34.3 g/t Au (capped) over an average thickness of 1.9 m over

61.0 m. Additionally the Company is continuing to develop and explore the 311 West Zone

along the western margin of the mine diorite. The zone has transitioned from the diorite into

the adjacent mafic volcanics, again highlighting the potential of the volcanic rocks to host

gold mineralization, similar to that observed at the neighbouring Falcon 7 zone.

• Additional underground exploration is ongoing further to the east of the current mining areas,

in the east-central area of the mine, to test for parallel zones north of the historic 8 and 6

zones. A comprehensive structural study has been completed and is being utilized to assist

the exploration targeting.

• Surface drilling is ongoing with 2 drills both east and west of the mine to follow up on

anomalous values returned from the regional drilling program in 2020.

Kiena

• During Q3 2021, operations at the Kiena Mine commenced, producing 5,511 ounces from the

lower grade S-50 zone. The mill start-up in July went according to plan with no major issues.

Mine operations were halted for 18 days in September for upgrading of the hoist system

which has now been completed. Progress on the paste fill plant and tailings management

area construction is on schedule. All key mobile equipment has been ordered and we have

already received four underground haulage trucks with the remainder of the equipment

scheduled to arrive by Q2 of 2022.

• Total throughput was 30,470 tonnes or 331 tpd and the head grade averaged 5.8 g/t.

• Generated $1.1 million in cash margin despite the high cash costs of $1,844 per ounce of

gold sold1 due to low pre-commercial production levels.

• Late in Q3, first stope production began at the higher grade A Zone, and this is expected to

increase significantly in the coming quarters. The reconciliation of the A zone bulk sample

that was processed in Q4 2020 recovered 6% more gold than the MRE with a feed grade of

15.7 g/t Au versus model grade of 14.7 g/t Au. Total gold produced from the 7,032 tonnes

milled was 3,479 ounces with gold recovery in the Kiena mill of 98.2%.

• The new Footwall Zone was initially announced in March of this year. To date, the Footwall

Zone is defined by new intersections of gold mineralization located within a 50 metre (‘m’)

wide corridor adjacent to the footwall of A2 Zone. The Footwall Zone corridor remains open

laterally and down plunge. The location of new gold intercepts in recent holes suggest that

the Footwall Zone extends over 300 m along plunge. The deepest hole returned 41.2 g/t Au

(uncapped) over 51.2 m core length.

• Ongoing drilling also continues to better define and expand the Kiena Deep A Zone

predominantly along the lateral extensions of the zone. The high grades intersected will be

included in future resource updates. One hole returned 132.1 g/t Au over 7.4 m core length

(27.6 g/t Au capped, 3.9 m true width) A Zone.

• Initial surface drilling has focused on the Presqu’ile and Shawkey areas located northwest

and southeast of the Kiena Mine, respectively. Since July 2021, two drills on barges have

been testing the continuity of some gold anomalies in the Jacola Formation which host the

Kiena mine. Recent drilling at Presqu’ìle zones returned 1515.0 g/t Au over 0.5 m core

length.

• Wesdome finalized the purchase of the Tarmac Gold Property from Globex Mining

Enterprises. The Property consists of 6 claims covering 94 hectares located entirely within

Wesdome’s Kiena Mine Complex and less than 2 kilometers northeast of the Kiena

underground mine, all located beneath Lac De Montigny.

ABOUT WESDOME

Wesdome is Canadian focused with two producing underground gold mines.  The Company’s strategy is to build Canada’s

next intermediate gold producer, producing 200,000+ ounces from two mines in Ontario and Québec.  The Eagle River

Underground Mine in Wawa, Ontario is currently producing gold at a rate of 92,000 – 105,000 ounces per year.    The Kiena

Complex is a fully permitted mine with a 930-metre shaft and 2,000 tonne-per-day mill, and a restart of operations was

announced on May 26, 2021.  The Company has completed a PFS in support of the production restart decision. Wesdome is

actively exploring both underground and on surface within the mine area and more regionally at both the Eagle River and Kiena

Complex. The Company also retains meaningful exposure to the Moss Lake gold deposit, located 100 kilometres west of

Thunder Bay, Ontario through its equity position in Goldshore Resources Inc. The Company has approximately 140.0 million

shares issued and outstanding and trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “WDO”.
