Strategic Quote
“As outlined in our updated three-year guidance, our strong outlook remains intact. We have increased our production guidance for 2023 and 2024, reflecting a stronger outlook at both Mulatos and Island Gold, and we remain on track to deliver a substantial decrease in costs over the next three years. With higher production and lower costs, we expect to generate growing free cash flow while funding the Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold. Once completed in 2026, we expect this to drive a significant increase in production, a further reduction in costs and substantial free cash flow growth,” John McCluskey, President and CEO
