Alongside open pit mining, Karora continued to complete pre-production activities at the Aquarius underground mine with the commencement of decline development expected in the third quarter of 2021. Karora expects to intersect development ore in the fourth quarter of 2021 with stope production commencing shortly thereafter. At the Two Boys underground deposit, rehabilitation works continued with development to access remnant and new ore blocks. Drilling activities are ongoing at both the Aquarius and Two Boys deposits to infill and expand the ore bodies. Karora also outlined that the plans to expand the Higginsville processing plant to 2.5 Mtpa by 2024 were on schedule.

Metalla holds a 27.5% PPR royalty interest on the difference between the London PM fix gold price and A$1,340/oz on the first 2.5 Koz per quarter until a cumulative total of 34.0 Koz of gold at the Higginsville operation have been delivered. As at June 30, 2021, 9.1 Koz of gold had been delivered.

Wasamac provides robust economics including an after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate of $470 million and an internal rate of return of 24% at a $1,850 per ounce gold price. Yamana expects to complete an infill and exploration program at Wasamac to generate additional mineral reserves to sustain the 200 Koz level of yearly production for more than 15 years. Plans include 120,000 meters of drilling in 2021 and 2022 with a budget of $15 million to delineate earlier mining areas, convert remaining mineral resources and additional drilling at depth testing between mineralized zones. Further opportunities for optimization will be pursued with additional metallurgical drilling to increase gold recoveries, accelerate the project execution plan, infill drilling and the inclusion of silver to improve project economics.
