- Strong financial performance with record quarterly revenues of $333 million and free cash flow of $107 million.

- Largest exploration budget ever planned at over $60 million, yielding exceptional results across operations.
- Inflationary pressures, especially around labor, are expected to persist, potentially increasing costs.
- Lower production expected in the second half of the year due to the onset of the rainy season in Mexico and lower grades.
- Ongoing need for capital investments, including $88 million in the second quarter, which could strain cash flow.
