Leagold Mining Corporation (TSX:LMC; OTCQX:LMCNF) reports Q1 2018 gold production of 51,003 ounces at its Los Filos mine at AISC of $1,039/oz and resulting in an AISC margin1 of $14.5 million. Los Filos is on track to deliver the 2018 production guidance range of 215,000 to 240,000 oz at an AISC of $875/oz to $925/oz, as the annual mine plan sequence schedules lower production and higher AISC/oz costs in H1 2018 and higher gold production with lower AISC/oz costs in H2 2018. The Q1 2018 AISC of $1,039/oz was under budget for the period. In H2 2018, the mine plan includes higher grades and lower strip ratio, and operations are also expected to benefit from improved leach pad management which includes the agglomerator and overland conveyor extension.

Leagold Arranges Financings to Close with the Brio Acquisition

Neil Woodyer, CEO, commented, “We are very pleased with the strong support from Leagold’s current lenders – Orion, Societe Generale and Investec – in providing an 18-month debt package that refinances the existing debt of Brio and increases our working capital. We are also pleased with Orion’s decision to maintain its equity ownership level in Leagold at approximately 16%, which is consistent with Orion’s participation rights, through the subscription of $45 million of equity at Leagold’s current market price. Later this year, and after the studies on the construction of a carbon-in-leach plant at the Los Filos mine are finalized, we expect to arrange a long-term and upsized financing structure with Societe Generale engaged as lead debt arranger. As part of the transaction, Investec has been mandated as Technical Agent for the lenders and will be working closely with Leagold as the studies are completed. Leagold’s growth projects include the Bermejal Underground expansion at the Los Filos mine, Brio’s restart of the Santa Luz mine, and the potential construction of a carbon-in-leach processing plant at the Los Filos mine that would enable higher recoveries for a wider range of ore types.”
