• Golden Queen produced 16,986 AuEq oz, a 48% increase compared to Q1 2024, reflecting a strong recovery from the December 2023 fire and improved operations post-acquisition.

• San Bartolomé produced 1.1 million AgEq oz, a 30% increase from Q1 2024, driven by a 27% rise in purchased ore.

• Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the new Fine Minerals Processing Facility ("FDF") was commissioned on July 23, 2024, now operating at 1,300 tonnes per day with planned ramp up to 1,500 tonnes per day by the end of Q3 2024, enhancing overall performance and sustainability.

• The Company recorded consolidated revenue of $69.8 million, with an average realized gold price of $2,305/oz and silver price of $27.81/oz2. This marks a 62% increase, or $26.7 million, compared to Q1 2024, driven by increased production at Golden Queen and San Bartolomé and higher average realized gold and silver prices.

Alberto Morales, Executive Chairman and CEO, stated, "Our second-quarter results highlight the significant progress and growth following our acquisition of Golden Queen. We have more than doubled our size compared to last year's production and revenue. Compared to Q1 2024, total production increased by approximately 40% to 29,888 gold equivalent ounces, and consolidated revenue rose by 62% to $69.8 million. These achievements underscore our successful integration of Golden Queen and the improved performance at San Bartolomé. Our focus remains on delivering value to our shareholders and pursuing additional growth opportunities as we advance to become a mid-tier producer.

During the quarter, we also advanced our FDF project, completing all concrete, structural steel, and mechanical work, while effectively managing costs, $5.5 million incurred against a $6.7 million budget. The commissioning of our Fine Minerals Processing Plant on July 23, 2024, was a key milestone, now operating at 1,300 tonnes per day with plans to reach 1,500 tonnes by the end of Q3.

Golden Queen's 48% production increase and San Bartolomé's 30% rise in silver equivalent ounces highlight the success of our strategic initiatives. These advances boosted our gross profit to $14.5 million and net income to $9.4 million, marking a strong turnaround."

Mr. Morales continued, "Looking ahead, our strong financial position and operating milestones reaffirms our overall consolidated guidance for 2024. The FDF deposit, with its substantial resource base, aligns with our sustainability goals, contributing to improved silver recovery and reduced environmental impact. Our commitment to safety and environmental stewardship remains strong, evidenced by zero lost time injuries and no reportable environmental incidents this quarter."

2024 Outlook and Guidance

Production guidance

The Company is maintaining the 2024 annual gold and silver equivalent production guidance for Golden Queen and San Bartolomé.

Quarter-to-quarter gold production in 2024 is expected to fluctuate during the year, with production continuing to be weighted towards the second half of the year.

Cost guidance

The Company is maintaining the 2024 cost guidance for Golden Queen and San Bartolomé as shown below:

In line with 2024 guidance, capital investment is expected to total $24.0 million (+/-5%), largely due to the $9.5 million included in the growth capital for the procurement of six new 785-8 haul trucks, as part of the Company's strategic mobile fleet replacement and mine optimization. These trucks will be financed through an equipment finance 5-year facility. Included in the sustaining capital at Golden Queen is the capitalization of the major overhaul maintenance/rebuild of equipment costs of $8.3 million. As of June 30, 2024, two new trucks out of the planned additional six have been commissioned.

Capital expenditures guidance

5. Assuming gold equivalent ounces were calculated on a consolidated basis for the Company, the expected guidance of 10.4 million silver equivalent ounces would equate to approximately 115,000 gold AuEq ounces. AuEq production and AuEq sales both include silver production and sales. Equivalent ounces are calculated using the Company's average realized gold and silver prices during the referenced period. For 2024 guidance commodity price assumptions supporting this estimate are $21 per ounce of silver and $1,900 per ounce of gold.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures, Ratios and Supplementary Financial Measures

This news release "specified financial measures" within the meaning of National Instrument 52-112 - Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure, specifically the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures described below. Management believes that the use of these measures assists analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in understanding the costs associated with producing silver and gold, understanding the economics of silver and gold mining, assessing operating performance, the Company's ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and on an overall Company basis, and for planning and forecasting of future periods.

The specified financial measures used in this news release do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, even as compared to other issuers who may be applying the World Gold Council guidelines. Accordingly, these measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures used in this news release:

(i) OCC includes total production cash costs incurred at the Company's mining operations, which form the basis of the Company's cash costs, less by-product revenue.

(ii) AISC on a by-product basis per ounce is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as AISC on a by-product basis divided by ounces of gold sold. AISC on a by-product basis is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the aggregate of production costs as recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss), refining and transport costs, cash component of sustaining capital expenditures, lease payments related to sustaining assets, corporate general and administrative expenses and accretion expenses. When calculating AISC on a by-product basis, all revenue received from the sale silver at Golden Queen are treated as a reduction of costs incurred. The Company believes that AISC represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations and provides the Company and other stakeholders of the Company with additional information relating to the Company's operational performance and ability to generate cash flow.

(iii) AIC represents AISC plus growth capital and non-sustaining exploration and evaluation costs. Non-sustaining exploration and evaluation costs represent costs associated with the Company's exploration portfolio. Certain other cash expenditures including tax payments, debt payments, dividends and financing costs are also not included in the calculation of AIC. The Company reports these measures on a per gold ounce sold basis.

(iv) CGOM per equivalent ounce sold is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost of sale (cost of sales, allocated corporate administrative costs and business unit general and administration cost) per equivalent ounce sold from the average selling price per equivalent ounce. It is a measure of financial performance with no prescribed definition under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.

(v) GMR is calculated by subtracting the cost of sale as reported in the income statement from the revenue of equivalent ounces divided by revenue from sales of equivalent ounces. GMR is a measure of financial performance with no prescribed definition under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.

(vi) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting net income (loss) as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss) for items not associated with ongoing operations. The Company believes that this generally accepted industry measure allows the evaluation of the results of income-generating capabilities and is useful in making comparisons between periods. This measure adjusts for the impact of items not associated with ongoing operations. A reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor and plan for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

(vii) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property, plant and equipment additions. A reconciliation of free cash flow to the nearest IFRS measures is set out below. Management uses this measure to monitor the amount of cash available to reinvest in the Company and allocate for shareholder returns.

(viii) Average realized price is a supplementary financial measure calculated by dividing the different components of precious metal sales by the number of ounces sold. Management uses this measure to monitor its sales of precious metal ounces against the average market gold price.

Free Cash Flow

The Company has included free cash flow as a non-GAAP financial measure in this news release. The Company considers net cash provided from (used in) operating cash flow less capital expenditures to be a measure that allows the Company and investors to evaluate the ability of the Company to generate cash flow. Accordingly, free cash flow is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following table provides a reconciliation of free cash flow to the Financial Statements:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company has included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in this news release. The Company excludes certain items from net income (loss)to provide a measure which allows the Company and investors to evaluate the results of the underlying core operations of the Company and its ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the Financial Statements:

Average Realized Gold and Silver Prices Per Ounce

The Company has included average realized prices as a supplementary non-GAAP financial measure in this news release. The Company quantifies average realized price per ounce as revenue per the Statement of Income (loss) divided by ounce of gold or silver sold. Management uses this measure to monitor sales of silver and gold ounces against the average market silver and gold prices.
