Tim Swendseid, Elevation Gold's CEO,
stated "Our second quarter production reflected some fragmentation
and crusher maintenance challenges, and the majority of the ore was
sourced from West Pit. Moss's second half is forecasted to
show improvement as we mine additional East Pit ore and move past
the issues experienced in the first half. We remain confident
in our guidance of 34,000 to 36,000 ounces of gold production for
all of 2023. We have kicked-off construction of our
3A-Ph2 Leach pad, which will be completed in Q4 2023 and will
provide sufficient leach pad capacity for ore production through
2025. Our collective Moss Mine team had an outstanding half
in terms of safety and are well prepared to carry out improvements
throughout the remainder of the year."

on June 22, 2023, Mr. Geoff Burns did not stand for re-election as
