TSX: GPR | NYSE American: GPL
VANCOUVER, BC, May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Great Panther Mining Limited (TSX: GPR) (NYSE-A: GPL) ("Great Panther" or the "Company"), a growth-oriented precious metals producer focused on the Americas, announces consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from its three wholly-owned mines: the Tucano Gold Mine ("Tucano") in Brazil, and Topia and the Guanajuato Mine Complex ("the GMC") in Mexico, both primarily silver mines.
"First quarter 2022 results were in line with expectations and good progress was made on numerous fronts as we build back steady-state production at Tucano," stated Alan Hair, Chair and Interim CEO. "The first half of 2022 is focused on capital intensive programs required to safeguard production in the back-half of the year. Stripping of the TAP AB, TAP C and Urucum North pits is advancing in preparation for ore production in the third quarter, as is mobilization of the new mining contractor. Although still on the road to recovery, I believe we are turning a corner and expect to see improving results as the year progresses."
During the first quarter of 2022 ("Q1 2022"), progress was made in stripping the TAP AB, TAP C and Urucum North ("URN") pits despite rain levels being over 30% higher in the quarter than historical averages. The combination of significant stripping against anticipated low production of gold ounces in Q1 2022 resulted in higher unit costs than the comparative quarter in 2021, however these costs are expected to normalize in the second half of 2022.
Selected Q1 2022 Highlights
- Consolidated metal production of 17,913 gold equivalent ounces ("Au eq oz"), inclusive of 14,319 gold ounces ("Au oz") and 173,698 silver ounces ("Ag oz")
- Consolidated cash costs of $1,725 per gold ounce sold compared with $954 in the first quarter of 2021 ("Q1 2021")
- Consolidated all-in-sustaining-costs ("AISC")1, excluding corporate G&A, of $2,740 per gold ounce sold compared with $1,557 for the same period in 2021

- Mine operating loss of $3.4 million compared with mine operating earnings of $11.0 million in Q1 2021
- Net loss of $8.9 million compared with net loss of $0.3 million in Q1 2021
- EBITDA1 of negative $1.2 million compared with EBITDA of $10.3 million for Q1 2021
- Updated Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource ("MRMR") estimate for the Tucano gold mine successfully replaced mining depletion and extended mine life by 1.5 years
- New mining contractor, MINAX, on track to be fully mobilized during Q2
- Reported positive exploration results for the Coricancha development project in Peru that confirm the potential of the Escondida vein

As previously disclosed, the additional pushback of the UCS pit was postponed until the second half of 2022 following the rainy season. In Q1 2022, geotechnical studies were completed by the Company with the assistance of SRK Consulting that confirmed the value of ore in the UCS pit will support the pushback design. The pushback is estimated to total 8.5 million tonnes of waste removal.
During Q1 2022, 4,912 metres were drilled completing the 11,000-metre infill drilling program to support technical studies for the URN underground project. Final assays are being received and will be reported this quarter. Final results are also being received for more than 700 line-kilometres of multi-element soil geochemistry sampling carried out in 2021. This geochemical database will be interpreted to define and prioritize targets for follow-up and drilling in the second half of 2022.
