Approximately 1.5 million ounces of silver, 1,183 ounces of gold, 1.6 million ounces of silver equivalent, 12.0 million pounds of lead, and 1.8 million pounds of zinc were produced, representing a production increase of 1% in silver and decreases of 52%, 7%, 20%, and 18%, respectively, in gold, silver equivalent, lead and zinc over Q2 Fiscal 2024. Silver head grade of 240 g/t was higher than the Company's Fiscal 2025 annual guidance of 235 g/t. The decrease in gold, lead and zinc production is mainly due to i) processed ore is 1% less with approximately 129,000 tonnes of unprocessed ore stockpiled and ii) lower lead and zinc head grades.

At the GC Mine, 89,394 tonnes of ore were mined, up 69% over Q2 Fiscal 2024, and 86,707 tonnes of ore were milled, up 80% over Q2 Fiscal 2024.
