The first quarter of 2026 is expected to be the first full quarter with higher levels of higher-grade fresh ore contributing to Sadiola's production, with medium-term levels expected to vary quarter-over-quarter as per the mining sequence as the mine progresses towards the multi-year higher grade push backs. As previously disclosed, the Company is advancing the engineering and design for the installation of a pre-leach thickener in 2026 to provide additional fresh and transitional ore processing capacity, as well as advancing a holistic upgrade to the processing plant control systems aimed at improving overall efficiency and reducing operating costs. The installation of the pre-leach thickener and controls systems will also advance key components of the Phase 2 expansion, which is planned to commence at Sadiola beginning late next year.","length":1185,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text",...
