Ordentliches Quartal. Bei den Preisen bleibt was hängen. Insgesamt wurde weiter investiert und die 7,5 Millionen plus im 2 Quartal 5 Millionen an Gold und Silverstreams komplett zurück gezahlt. Sehr gut. Ansonsten ein kleiner Verlust plus die Tonnagen waren um 10 Prozent geringer gewesen. AISC bei 23,86 US Dollar.
Dafür ist der Kurs immer noch ein Desaster.

Selected Q3 2024 (Three Month Period) Highlights:
Positive mine operating income of $515,576; Q3 represents the second consecutive quarter of positive income from mining operations.
All-in Sustaining Cost ("AISC")* of $23.88 per silver-equivalent ("AgEq") ounce; this represents a 7% improvement over the previous quarter.
Cash cost per AgEq ounce was $18.78; this was a 6% improvement over the previous quarter. Over the past 12-months, GSilver has made significant capex investments designed to improve operational efficiencies at all four of the Company's producing silver mines (Except as otherwise noted, see note to table below for details regarding the Company's AgEq calculations).
Production for the quarter of 779,797 AgEq derived from 413,607 ounces of silver, 3,617 ounces of gold, 806,945 pounds of lead and 926,056 pounds of zinc.
Silver production of 413,607 ounces was an increase of 4% over the previous quarter. Silver production accounted for 50% of Q3 revenue; 43% of revenue was generated by gold production. Guanajuato Silver is a primary silver and gold producer with over 90% of revenues being derived from the sale of precious metals. All lead and zinc production comes exclusively from the Company's Topia mine located in northwest Durango.
During the quarter the Company confirmed an important production milestone - over 3,000,000 AgEq ounces had been produced at El Cubo since the restart of operations in late 2021. For this purpose, AgEq has been calculated using an 82.77:1 (Ag/Au) ratio from October 1, 2021, until September 20, 2024.
In the quarter, the Company announced the complete repayment of its US$7,500,000 silver and gold pre-payment facility to Swiss-based precious metals trading firm, OCIM Metals & Mining S.A. ("OCIM"); this followed the Q2 repayment in full of the US$5,000,000 concentrate pre-payment facility owed to Ocean Partners UK Limited ("Ocean Partners").
Total tonnes milled at the Company's three production facilities was 144,537 tonnes, which was a decrease of 10% from the previous quarter. The majority of this decrease is attributable to outstanding fleet and mill maintenance requirements; during the quarter, the Company undertook an enhanced maintenance and repairs program at all operations that is expected to continue into Q4.
Revenue for the quarter of $18.3M represented a 17% increaseover Q3 2023, and a decrease of 11% over the previous quarter. Consolidated revenue for the quarter was generated by a realized average price of $29.43 per silver ounce, $2,477 per gold ounce, $0.93 per pound of lead, and $1.25 per pound of zinc.
Positive adjusted EBITDA* of $892,277; the second consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA confirms that cash flow from mining operations is improving.
Net loss for the quarter of $4.8M. Non-cash items accounted for nearly 40% of this loss; as an example, the non-cash derivative loss related to the Company's gold loan with Ocean Partners was $1.66M. Importantly, as the gold spot price rises, derivative losses are more than off-set by higher revenue from the sale precious metals concentrates.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.6M and negative working capital of $20.4M; subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company closed an equity financing on October 30 for C$8.72M.
