“We delivered another record quarter of production and given the strong start to the year, we’ve increased full year production guidance to a range of 490,000 to 530,000 ounces. The increase was driven by stronger than expected performances from our Mulatos and Island Gold mines, the latter establishing a new record in its first full quarter as part of Alamos. Our financial performance continues to improve with strong free cash flow growth expected from our operations into the second half of the year reflecting higher production and lower costs,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
First Quarter 2018 Highlights
Produced a record 128,900 ounces of gold, above budget and 34% higher than the first quarter of 2017 driven by strong performances from Mulatos and Island Gold. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of record production
Increased 2018 production guidance at both Mulatos and Island Gold, bringing Company-wide guidance to a range of 490,000 to 530,000 ounces of gold

Mine-site all-in sustaining costs1 of $633 per ounce were well below guidance and the operation generated $9.8 million in mine-site free cash flow1. As a result of this strong performance, production guidance at Island Gold has been increased to between 95,000 and 105,000 ounces for 2018
Sold 130,045 ounces of gold at an average realized price of $1,331 per ounce for record revenues of $173.1 million

Reported net earnings of $0.6 million, or $0.00 per share
Generated cash flow from operating activities of $58.8 million ($62.6 million or $0.16 per share, before changes in working capital1), reflecting record production, lower cash costs and stronger operating margins
