* Explanatory Note: The high gold pour recorded in July (715 oz) resulted from a cleanup of the inventory accumulated in the milling circuits during a technical transition phase. The August data accurately reflects the restart of a regular and stable production cycle, supported by the solid progression of tonnage and grade.

Recruitment continued in August with the integration of 6 new workers, bringing the team dedicated to the mine to 149 employees. In parallel, the training partnership with Technica is bearing fruit: 2 trainers are currently supervising 10 apprentice-miners, with the objective of developing our own internal pool of qualified workforce.

This increase in underground personnel has allowed several key work areas to progress.
