Revenues from mining operations were $52.9 million in the second quarter of 2017 on the sale of 42,691 ounces of gold compared to $65.2 million on the sale of 52,351 ounces of gold for the comparable period in 2016. For the first half of 2017, revenues from mining operations were $112.4 million on the sale of 92,306 ounces of gold compared to $112.3 million on the sale of 93,595 ounces of gold for the comparable period in 2016.
Mine operating earnings totaled $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 2016. For the first half of 2017, mine operating earnings were $10.0 million compared to $24.8 million for the same period of 2016. Overall the decrease in mine operating earnings is due to lower gold ounces sold, largely a result of lower grade mined during the period, reduced production from the RDM mine and exchange rate differences.
Net loss in the second quarter of 2017 was $7.4 million or $0.07 per share, a decrease compared to net earnings of $10.3 million or $0.44 per share for the first quarter of 2016. For the first half of 2017, net loss was $5.0 million or $0.04 per share compared to net earnings of $20.8 million or $0.88 per share for the same period in 2016. Overall net earnings were lower due to the changes in mine operating earnings discussed above, and higher income tax expense as a result of non-cash effect on unrealized foreign exchange which is excluded for the calculation of adjusted earnings.
The adjusted loss in the second quarter of 2017 was $3.6 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to an adjusted income of $2.3 million, or $0.10 in the same period of 2016. For the first half of the year, the adjusted loss was $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to an adjusted income of $3.5 million, or $0.15 per share, in the same period of 2016.
The adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2017 was $6.5 million compared to $19.1 million in the same period of 2016. For the first half of the year, the adjusted EBITDA was $19.0 million compared to $36.9 million in the same period of 2016.
Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital for the second quarter of 2017 was an outflow of $2.2 million, compared to an inflow of $16.1 million in the same period of 2016. The Company received an advance payment for $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, relating to gold sales delivered in the second quarter for $4.4 million, a transaction that was done in order to manage working capital. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital of $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $18.7 million in the same period of 2016.

Production during the second quarter of 2017 was 44,223 ounces of gold, compared to 52,737 ounces in the same period of 2016. The RDM mine was put on care and maintenance for 41 days during the quarter, as necessary adjustments were completed to meet the revised production plan. At Fazenda Brasileiro, scheduled mill liner replacements impacted production, however planned production at Fazenda Brasileiro for the year is back end weighted, with grade improvements expected in the second half of the year. For the first half of the year, production was 94,763 ounces of gold, compared to 93,109 ounces in the same period of 2016.
Cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization per ounce of gold sold was $1,139 in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $1,037 in the same period of 2016. Cash cost per gold ounce during the second quarter was $859, compared to $726 in the same period of 2016. All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold produced was $1,085 in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $969 in the same period of 2016.
For the first half of the year, cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization per ounce of gold sold was $1,109 in the first half of 2017, compared to $936 in the same period of 2016. Cash cost per gold ounce was $842 for the first half of 2017, compared to $667 in the same period of 2016. All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold produced was $1,070 in the first half of 2017, compared to $889 in the same period of 2016.
Overall, the increase in per ounce costs was due to a strengthening of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar. Including the impact of the foreign exchange hedges, approximately 28% of the total increase in All-in sustaining costs per ounce is due to the strengthening of the Brazilian real against the US dollar when comparing the second quarter of 2017 to 2016, and approximately 41% when comparing the first half of 2017 to 2016. In addition, lower grades impacted production and hence per ounce costs, as a significant portion of operating costs are fixed. Higher corporate G&A from one-time costs associated with the transition to operating as an independent public company also impacted costs. Despite the increase from the comparable periods in 2016, All-in sustaining costs for the year 2017 are expected to achieve the 2017 guidance of $995-$1,015 per ounce.

Pilar
Production at the Pilar Mine in the second quarter of 2017 was 20,287 ounces of gold in line with plan, but lower compared to 22,806 ounces in the same period of 2016. For the first half of the year, production was 40,771 ounces of gold compared to 44,654 in the same period of 2016. Overall the decrease in production is due to gold feed grades as a result of mine sequencing, partially offset by higher throughput and recovery. The Company maintains its production guidance for 2017 of 83,000 to 88,000 ounces of gold.
Cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization was $1,144 per ounce, compared to a cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization of $1,023 per ounce of gold sold in the same period of 2016. For the first half of 2017, cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization was $1,083 compared to $962 in the same period of 2016. Cash costs were $831 per ounce of gold produced in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $679 per ounce of gold produced in the same quarter of 2016. For the first half of 2017, cash costs were $809 per ounce of gold produced, compared to $656 in the same period of 2016. All-in sustaining costs were $1,022 per ounce of gold produced in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $856 per ounce of gold produced in the same quarter of 2016. For the first half of 2017, All-in sustaining costs were $1,011 per ounce of gold produced, compared to $801 in the same period of 2016. Overall costs were higher mainly due to the strengthening of the Brazilian Real against the US dollar, and lower grades.
Fazenda Brasileiro
Production in the second quarter of 2017 was 14,092 ounces of gold, compared to 16,873 ounces in the same period of 2016. For the first half of 2017, production was 28,964 ounces of gold, compared to 35,397 in the same period of 2016. Overall, production was impacted by lower grades and mill liner replacement, partially offset by improved recovery. During the second quarter of 2017, ball mill one was down for two days and ball mill two was down for four days for liner replacement.
Planned production at Fazenda Brasileiro for the year is back end weighted and the mine is forecast to achieve annual guidance of 65,000 to 70,000 ounces.
Cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization was $1,145 per ounce, compared to a cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization of $1,008 per ounce of gold sold in the same period of 2016. For the first half of 2017, cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization was $1,167 compared to $856 in the same period of 2016. Cash costs were $892 per ounce of gold produced in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $726 per ounce of gold produced in the same quarter of 2016. For the first half of 2017, cash costs were $841 per ounce of gold produced, compared to $627 per ounce in the same period of 2016. All-in sustaining costs for the second quarter of 2017 was $956, a decrease from $988 in the same period of 2016. For the first half of 2017, All-in sustaining costs were $999 per ounce of gold produced, compared to $808 in the same period of 2016.
Grade, as discussed above, was the main contributor to higher costs on a per ounce basis, since a large portion of operating costs are fixed. Expansionary capital increased in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 as the Company focuses on developing the Canto deposit, which is expected to extend the mine life.
RDM
Production in the second quarter of 2017 was 9,844 ounces of gold, compared to 13,058 ounces in the same period of 2016. For the first half of 2017, production was 25,028 ounces of gold, compared to 13,058 in the same period of 2016. During the quarter, the mine was put on care and maintenance for 41 days, as the operations were re-organized to meet the new production plan that was announced last quarter. During this period, water was conserved while the existing small-scale mining contractor was demobilized and the Company reduced the operations manpower to conform with the revised life of mine plan. The newly built water dam and water pipeline was also successfully tested and made operational during this period. Operations were restarted under the new operating plan with the Company’s currently owned larger scale equipment fleet mining ore.
The Company has completed its analysis regarding the stripping equipment fleet at the RDM mine and has selected a large-scale mining contractor to perform the stripping work at the mine. The Company does not anticipate any change to life of mine production plans or 2017 cost guidance. Brio Gold expects cash costs and AISC to increase by 4% and 6%, respectively, when compared to the previously announced average life of mine costs. As a result of choosing this option, the Company is eliminating the forecasted $43.9 million capital expenditure that it announced in its revised RDM forecast last quarter. Notably, this decision is slightly value accretive to RDM and removes the need for any upfront capital.
The Company maintains its revised production 2017 guidance at RDM of 50,000 to 65,000 ounces. This guidance range includes the expectation that the processing plant at RDM will be down for a total of three months in 2017 as a result of the unusual drought conditions experienced earlier this year after the completion of the construction of the water storage facility near the end of the rainy season. Continuous operations at RDM is expected for the life of mine commencing in the fourth quarter of this year.
Cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization was $1,125, compared to a cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization of $1,079 per ounce of gold sold in the same period of 2016. For the first half of 2017, cost of sales including depletion, depreciation and amortization was $1,088 compared to $1,079 in the same period of 2016. Cash costs were $869 per ounce of gold produced in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $807 per ounce of gold produced in the same quarter of 2016. For the first half of 2017, cash costs were $927 per ounce of gold produced, compared to $807 in the same period of 2016. All-in sustaining costs were $872 per ounce of gold produced in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $883 per ounce of gold produced in the same quarter of 2016. For the first half of 2017, All-in sustaining costs were $953 per ounce of gold produced, compared to $883 in the same period of 2016. Costs were impacted by lower grades due to mine sequencing, partially offset by improved recoveries as a result of plant optimization initiatives.
Development Update
Santa Luz
The Santa Luz mine is in the execution phase and the Company continues to advance the project toward its re-start planned for the second quarter of 2018. Capital expenditures for the project are forecast to remain below budget. Basic engineering was completed in May and detailed construction engineering started in June. The company has purchased major long lead items for the project and procurement is moving forward. The tailings liner contractor has been mobilized to site and the new tailing pond liners have been delivered. Village relocation construction was initiated in the quarter with completion expected next quarter.
The Company has been continuously running the pilot plant and testing ore samples of all lithological types at the mine since completion of the technical report in July last year. The results of this test work confirm the average gold recovery published last year. Consistent recovery results for both carbonaceous, dacitic and blended ores have been verified with a standard resin-in-leach circuit with a very high level of confidence.
In the first half of 2017, Brio Gold completed a 4,200 metre drill program that focused on detailing and expanding a northwest trending zone of high-grade gold mineralization in the northeastern portion of the main C1 open pit orebody as well as infill drilling in both the C1 and Antas 3 orebodies. The positive drill results are expected to be incorporated into an updated mineral reserve and resource estimate in August of 2017.
RDM
Planning and permitting for the power line and substations to connect RDM to the power grid continued on schedule during the quarter. Construction of the powerline is expected to commence at the beginning of the third quarter of 2017 and the Company is targeting to commission the new grid connected power line in Q2 2018. The powerline will replace the current lower capacity diesel power generators, which is expected to reduce costs, improve grind/recovery and expand mill throughput. The connection to low cost grid power will complete the plant expansion to an operating capacity of 9,000 tonnes per day from 7,000 tonnes per day.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures including cash costs per ounce of gold produced, all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced, adjusted earnings (loss), and adjusted EBITDA to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS.
The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Cash Costs
The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure “cash costs” on a per ounce of gold produced basis because it believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about the Company’s underlying cash costs of operations and is a relevant metric used to understand the Company’s operating profitability, and ability to generate cash flow. Cash costs figures are calculated based on the standard developed by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard remains the generally accepted standard of reporting cash costs of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Cash costs include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, production taxes and royalties, which are not based on sales or taxable income calculations, but are exclusive of amortization, reclamation, capital, development, and exploration costs. Cash costs per ounce of gold produced are calculated on a weighted average basis.
The term “cash costs” has no standard meaning and therefore, the Company’s definitions are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating profit or cash flows presented under IFRS.
All-in Sustaining Costs
The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure “all-in sustaining costs”, also referred to as “AISC”, on a per ounce of gold produced basis because it believes this measure provides investors with useful information about the Company’s underlying cash costs of operations, after deducting certain non-discretionary items such as sustaining capital expenditures, exploration expenses and certain general and administrative costs and is a relevant metric used to understand the Company’s ability to generate cash flow. All-in sustaining costs are based on cash costs, including cost components of mine sustaining capital expenditures and exploration and evaluation expense. All-in sustaining costs for a mine do not include capital expenditures attributable to projects or mine expansions, exploration and evaluation costs attributable to growth projects, Brio Gold corporate general and administrative expenses, Yamana general and administrative expenses allocated to Brio Gold or stock-based compensation, income tax payments, financing costs and dividend payments. Consequently, this measure is not representative of all of the Company’s cash expenditures. In addition, the calculation of all-in sustaining costs does not include depletion, depreciation and amortization expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods. The term “all-in sustaining costs” has no standard meaning and therefore, the Company’s definitions are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating profit or cash flows presented under IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA
The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA” because it believes it provides investors with useful information to evaluate its performance and understand its ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, before income tax recovery (expense), depletion, depreciation and amortization, impairment and reversals of mining properties, interest expense, share-based compensation, and non-recurring provisions and other adjustments.
The term “Adjusted EBITDA” has no standard meaning and therefore, the Company’s definitions are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating profit or cash flows presented under IFRS.

Adjusted Earnings or Loss
The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted earnings or loss” because it believes this measure provides useful information to investors to evaluate the Company’s performance by excluding certain cash and non-cash charges. The presentation of Adjusted earnings or loss is not meant to be a substitute for net earnings or loss or net earnings or loss per share presented in accordance with IFRS, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such IFRS measures. Adjusted earnings or loss is calculated as net earnings excluding (a) stock based compensation, (b) unrealized foreign exchange (gains) losses related to revaluation of deferred income tax asset and liability on non-monetary items, (c) unrealized foreign exchange (gains) losses related to other items, (d) impairment losses and reversals, (e) deferred income tax expense (recovery) on the translation of foreign currency inter corporate debt, (f) periodic tax adjustments to historical deferred income tax balances relating to changes in enacted tax rates and (g) non-cash provisions and any other non-recurring adjustments. Non-recurring adjustments from unusual events or circumstances are reviewed from time to time based on materiality and the nature of the event or circumstance. Earnings adjustments for the comparative period reflect continuing operations.
The terms “Adjusted earnings or loss” has no standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore the Company’s definitions are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
