“Our operations performed well across the board in the second quarter.
Gold production was in line with guidance while total cash costs were down 16% year- over-year, driving stronger margins and record cash flow from operations.

This was highlighted by another record quarter of production from Island Gold where we continue to see excellent exploration results.

With solid first half performance, we are well positioned to meet full year production and cost guidance,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“The lower mine expansion at Young-Davidson is progressing well and construction activities at our Cerro Pelon and Kirazli projects continue.
Each remain on track and we are now less than a year away from starting to see the benefit from these projects through strong free cash flow growth,”
Mr. McCluskey added.

Second Quarter 2019

Produced 125,200 ounces of gold, in-line with guidance and the second quarter of 2018
Record gold production of 39,500 ounces at Island Gold.

This marks the third consecutive quarter of record production, driving mine-site free cash flow of $11.7 million at Island Gold.

Record cash flow from operating activities of $72.3 million ($69.7 million, or $0.18 per share, before changes in working capital1), reflecting higher operating margins driven by lower costs, and higher gold sales

Consolidated total cash costs1 of $699 per ounce were below the low end of guidance, and $133 per ounce, or 16% lower than the second quarter of 2018, driven by low cost production at Island Gold and lower than budgeted costs at Mulatos

All-in sustaining costs ("AISC")1 of $926 per ounce, and cost of sales of $1,021 per ounce were both at the low end of annual guidance, and down 7% and 12%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2018

Sold 128,457 ounces of gold at an average realized price of $1,309 per ounce, in-line with the average London PM Fix, for revenues of $168.1 million

Realized net earnings of $23.6 million, or $0.06 per share

Ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $183.2 million and no debt

Repurchased 0.2 million shares in the quarter, for a total of 2.7 million shares repurchased and canceled during the first half of 2019 at a cost of $11.4 million,
