VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 14, 2022 / Gold Mountain Mining Corp.

All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars ("$"), unless otherwise noted.
Highlights
Gold Production
In the Company's first producing quarter, Gold Mountain began start-up operations at the Elk Gold Mine to commission its newly constructed sample plant and streamline its procedures to accommodate the Elk's narrow-vein, high-grade structure.
The Elk Gold Mine also experienced challenges during commissioning with respect to both grade control and sampling processes, which resulted in lower than forecast ore production during the initial ramp-up.
The Company has implemented a number of initiatives that are expected to positively impact future mining results. They include hiring industry experts that have experience mining narrow-vein deposits, implementing a robust in-fill drill program and examining other initiatives such as preconcentration technologies. The Company anticipates that it will continue working through these initiatives during the upcoming quarter.

[1] The expanded case is contemplated in the Company's 2021 PEA, a copy of which is available at www.sedar.com. The 2021 PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the 2021 PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
[2] This is a non-IFRS financial measure. Please refer to the "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section at the end of this MD&A for a description of these non-IFRS financial measures and a reconciliation to operating costs from the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
