- Generated free cash flow of over $210 million in Q1, supporting a net cash position of $634 million and zero debt.
- Completed $300 million in share repurchases post-quarter, reflecting disciplined capital allocation and enhancing per-share value.
- Produced 110,000 gold equivalent ounces at all-in sustaining costs of $2,433/oz, in line with expectations and weighted towards stronger second half production.
- Puna mine delivered $120 million in site-level free cash flow, confirming its status as a high-margin silver asset with potential for life extensions.
- Cripple Creek and Victor have generated $325 million in cash flow since acquisition, outperforming the initial $275 million purchase price and reaffirming long mine life potential.
