YTD 2021 Operating Results

Total attributable production guidance for 2021 has been reduced due to lower than expected actual production in the first half of 2021 from the Westwood and Rosebel mines and expected lower than previously guided output for the remainder of 2021 for the reasons noted in the Q2 2021 news release (here), partially offset by higher production at the Essakane mine in the first half of 2021. Total per-ounce costs guidance for 2021 has been increased mainly to reflect the lower attributable total production guidance and cost pressures experienced in the first half of the year, certain of which are expected to continue in the second half of 2021, along with a stronger Canadian dollar and euro. All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold are affected by the factors noted above and also reflects planned increased spending on sustaining capital investments in the second half of 2021.
