2021 Financial
Highlights


 


		·	Production:
                                            As previously announced, gold production for the year ended December 31, 2021, of
                                            57,668 ounces exceeded the high end of the guidance range as the process team continued to
                                            improve equipment, process control and costs. Silver production of 355,967 ounces was approximately
                                            20% below guidance due to slower than planned leach kinetics. Processing of ore on leach
                                            pads is currently planned to proceed through the second quarter of 2022.



 


		·	Sales:
                                            Sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 were 56,045 ounces of gold (average realized
                                            price of $1,794 per ounce) and 397,546 ounces of silver (average realized price of $25.66
                                            per ounce).



 


		·	Unrestricted
                                            Cash Position: The Company ended 2021 with $12.3 million of cash on hand and was
                                            in compliance with debt covenants



 


		·	Net
                                            Loss and Cash Used: Due to high operating costs relative to the associated gold equivalent
                                            production and sales volumes and ceasing of mining operations in November, 2021, the Company
                                            recorded a net loss of $88.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Due
                                            to the losses from operations, the Company ceased mining activities and is now focused on
                                            completing its technical studies and exploration to develop the Hycroft mine through a milling
                                            and pressure oxidation process. The $44.0 million reduction in unrestricted cash since
                                            the beginning of the year was primarily due to cash used for operating activities of $37.0
                                            million, cash used for investing activities of $6.9 million, cash used for financing activities
                                            of $5.5 million, and a $5.4 million reduction in restricted cash.
