Record San Dimas Throughput Drives Production Increase
Primero produced 26,310 gold equivalent ounces during the fourth quarter of 2012. This resulted in record annual production (since Primero’s acquisition of
The Company produced 23,143 ounces of gold and 1.32 million ounces of silver in the fourth quarter 2012, 15% and 10% higher, respectively, than the fourth quarter 2011, due mainly to higher throughput. This resulted in the Company producing 87,900 ounces of gold and 5.13 million ounces of silver in full year 2012, 10% and 12% higher than 2011 respectively.

Robust Outlook for 2013
Primero expects to increase production in 2013 to between 120,000 and 130,000 gold equivalent ounces, up to 17% higher than 2012, based on higher throughput at slightly higher grades. Production is expected to ramp-up at the end of the first quarter when the current maximum milling capacity of 2,150 TPD is achieved.
Cash costs for 2013 are expected to be in the range of
Capital expenditures during 2013 are expected to be approximately
Primero’s 2013 outlook is summarized in the following table:
Outlook 2013 | |

Gold production (ounces) | 90,000-100,000 |
Silver production(6) (ounces) | 6,000,000-6,500,000 |
Total cash costs(3) (per gold equivalent ounce) | $620 – $640 |
Total cash costs(3) – by-product (per gold ounce) | $280 – $300 |

This release should be read in conjunction with Primero’s audited year-end 2012 financial statements and MD&A report on the Company’s website, www.primeromining.com, in the “Financial Reports” section under “Investors”, or on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
(1) | “Operating cash flow” is operating cash flow before working capital changes. This and operating cash flows before working capital changes per share are non-GAAP measures which the Company believes provides a better indicator of the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from its mining operations. See the 2012 MD&A for a reconciliation of operating cash flows to GAAP. |
(2) | “Gold equivalent ounces” include silver ounces produced, and converted to a gold equivalent based on a ratio of the average commodity prices realized for each period. The ratio for the fourth quarter 2012 was 416:1 based on the average realized prices of $1,715 per ounce of gold and $4.12 per ounce of silver. The ratio for full year 2012 was 221:1 based on the average realized prices of $1,662 per ounce of gold and $7.52 per ounce of silver. The ratio used for the 2013 guidance projection is 200:1 based on estimated average prices of $1,700 per ounce of gold and $8.52 per ounce of silver. |
(3) | Total cash costs per gold equivalent ounce and total cash costs on a by-product basis are non-GAAP measures. Total cash costs per gold equivalent ounce is defined as cost of production (including refining costs) divided by the total number of gold equivalent ounces produced. Total cash costs on a by-product basis are calculated by deducting the by-product silver (and copper in the case of Cerro de Gallo) credits from operating costs. The Company reports total cash costs on a production basis. In the gold mining industry, these are common performance measures but do not have any standardized meaning, and are non-GAAP measures. The Company follows the recommendations of the Gold Institute standard. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures, prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, it 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 GAAP. |
(4) | Assuming the successful closing of the Cerro Del Gallo acquisition as announced by the Company on December 12, 2012 in the news release “Primero to Acquire Cerro Del Gallo”, available on the Company’s website http://www.primeromining.com/ or Sedar http://www.sedar.com/ and that it begins production in mid-2015 in addition to the successful expansion of San Dimas to over 160,000 gold equivalent ounces per annum. |
(5) | According to the silver purchase agreement between the Company and Silver Wheaton Corp., until August 6, 2014 Primero will deliver to Silver Wheaton a per annum amount equal to the first 3.5 million ounces of silver produced at San Dimas and 50% of any excess at $4.12 per ounce (increasing by 1% per year). Thereafter Primero will deliver to Silver Wheaton a per annum amount equal to the first 6.0 million ounces of silver produced at San Dimas and 50% of any excess at $4.20 per ounce (increasing by 1% per year). The Company will receive silver spot prices only after the annual threshold amount has been delivered. |
(6) | Adjusted net earnings/income and adjusted net earnings/income per share are non-GAAP measures. Neither of these non-GAAP performance measures has any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to other measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, it 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 GAAP. Refer to the 2012 MD&A for a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings/income to reported net income. |
(7) | Assuming Goldcorp Inc. converts their 30.8% position in Cerro Del Gallo to a Net Profit Interest and that resources include reserves. Cerro Resources NL has filed a technical report under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101“) entitled “Technical Report, First Stage Heap Leach Feasibility Study, Cerro del Gallo Gold Silver Project, Guanajuato, Mexico” (the “Technical Report“) with an effective date of May 11, 2012. Mr. Gabriel Voicu, Vice President, Geology and Exploration, who is a “qualified person” for the purposes of NI 43-101, has reviewed the Technical Report on behalf of Primero. To the best of Primero’s knowledge, information and belief, there is no new material scientific or technical information that would make the Technical Report inaccurate or misleading. Primero plans to file a technical report on the Cerro Del Gallo project within 180 days of December 13, 2012 in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101. |
