• Pan exploration drilling continued in the quarter, program expected to conclude in April 2020 with a resource update and new life of mine plan issued in H2 2020

Tim Warman, Fiore’s CEO commented, “In Q2 2020, the crushing circuit at Pan demonstrated its true potential as the mine produced over 12,000 gold ounces at the higher recovery levels we expected after transitioning to crushing. These higher production levels came at the same time as increased gold prices allowing us to put cash on the balance sheet while continuing to invest in drilling at Pan. At the same time, we recognize the inherent risk posed by COVID-19. The health and safety of our employees comes first, and we have put a range of operating protocols in place to best mitigate the risk to them. We are fortunate that we have no reported cases at site and continue to operate. We are in continual contact with our partners and have not had any meaningful disruptions to our supply chain, key contractors or refiners. We are pleased we can reiterate our 2020 guidance but acknowledge the uncertainty of the upcoming period. With our strengthened balance sheet and contingency planning in place we are well prepared to meet potential challenges.”
