$106.6 million to shareholders ($82.1 million in Q2 2026) via the repurchase of 10.8 million shares
Operational
- Gold equivalent production2 of 72,217 ounces and the Company remains on track to achieve its annual production guidance
- Consolidated cash cost per gold equivalent ounce (“GEO”)1 of
$1,034 , up from$951 in the previous quarter - Consolidated AISC per GEO1 of
$2,157 for Q2 2026, up from$2,107 in the previous quarter. Compared to the assumptions in our annual guidance, AISC contains a$49 impact from external factors, and$115 of one-time operational items. - We expect AISC to trend down in the second half of the year.

External cost factors, including metal price-linked royalties, macroeconomic factors in
Argentina and diesel prices, remain potential impacts to our full-year outlook. - Total recordable injury frequency rate for the quarter was 1.21.
