Tim Swendseid, Chief Executive Officer of Elevation Gold, stated "We are very pleased to report all mining this quarter took place in the Reynolds Pit and Mordor areas. The most recently completed bench at Reynolds Pit (the 6th full bench there) contained ore with an average grade of 0.38 g/t at a stripping ratio of 0.94 tonnes of waste for each tonne of ore. Overall, our stripping ratio improved dramatically for the quarter (reduced by 22% compared to Q2 2023) and YTD (reduced by 23% versus same period last year). Additionally, the most recently completed bench in Reynolds Pit had an average width of 95 meters, contributing to a significant improvement in mining efficiencies. Fragmentation in Reynolds Pit remains excellent, and we have witnessed improving grade with depth. Overall, we are very encouraged by what we are encountering at Reynolds Pit!"
