Moving on to slide six.

Financial highlights.

Total revenues during the third quarter were $228.2 million, which is 1% lower in comparison to the third quarter of 2019.

This was primarily due to a decrease you bought them so of gold and silver.

EBITDA from our direct operations and the importance of 2020 was 68.5.

Good part isn't to $58.4 million in the third quarter of 2019.

It'd be think doing our affiliates.

Oh, I see what though for election.

Nicole I do production in the third quarter of 2020 was 81.6 thousand ounces, which is 33% lower than the figure reported on the same quarter of the previous year. This decrease was mainly explained by lower production Tambomayo and then.

To add to the old production for this quarter was $3 million, which shows a decrease of 40% compared to the two people report that on the third floor it doesn't make sense.

This is mainly due to less production in our work which are terrible Mike.

The third quarter of 22015.

15.9 thousand metric consulting work reviews.

This is mainly due to a 72% decreasing for you kind of see a workforce Tacoma.

As you can see that sold for the third quarter workforce generating $7.1 million, so, but you should know.

Additionally, the company continues to enhance its current mining plan in order to focus on high grade areas, while maintaining a focus on exploration and cost reduction efforts.

Total investment in football that Didnt know, where my eyes between.

$45 million to 65 million is sustaining.

[laughter].

Greenfield.

Yeah.

I don't.

What was your second question sorry, Joel.

Sure. It's what you know about the capital accretion in general terms, so what to expect in terms of Capex, but also what you're looking to build up the cash generation and its very been carrying sufficient dividends from several did.

Well and I were aware capex for this year.

We don't.

See there in the construction loan books, and Navient will be around 100 <unk> hundred million.

Billion dollar.

Our cash cash generation will.

The mainly in our efforts to.

In Greece, how where exploration was seen in our own minds and the cash in that region. So that.

He tells me.

It's HM.

A discussion that we that's in there is it still pending we report.

In the <unk>.

The competing this 2020 year.

Hi, Matt.

Oh gosh.

But.

Up to now the we have never discuss what to what to do with that cash.

Okay. Thank you and then just going back on the cost.

What's your talk what are you expecting to reach 100% now the fourth quarter were 100% of production in the fourth quarter.

No.

We are actually.

Yeah.

Grain to get.

And.

More.

Hey.

Back to college.

Workforce.

For type one has been a very difficult work through and we expect the LASG work there to meet almost.

Yeah.

Terry.

Look like they did that our third quarter, maybe one catalog.

Our current governor for peace and give us more color when we talk about.

Thank you Andrew Yes, he could talk where we're putting a little bit before now we really because we're always available at this site.

Well the.

I Love paper said production and hopefully so he might develop and that's.

Yes, I did said be lazy, but I think we are activity in your mind do they are using workforce we are.

Oh, that's you got really a proper rate of 90 available quite so maybe.

Almost 30% production, we they need a workforce and catching up we might develop it.

Okay. Thank you.

[noise] again, if he would like to ask a question. Please press star and then one teacher when the Q.

Our next question today comes from Carlos de Alba of Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Yes. Good morning, everyone. Thank you very much. So just maybe following up to make sure that I understood correctly. So the capex. The can you can you mentioned they get the Capex that you see for 2020, and maybe if you already have.

A ballpark figure for 20 $21.

That would be great, but you clearly have you can also break down how much of that 2021 number and I'm 2020, do you have it I look at it to somebody else.

And my second question is regarding cost.

Thank you for the details on the deferred buying used for.

For the full year, but maybe more broadly can.

Can you come in and landed on the on the cost performance.

Yeah, the number in the third quarter again significantly above what we were expecting and therefore, even though volume was also the better hey, the EBITDA generated by the company was still lower than what we expected and making what the consensus was expecting.

I would have thought that we the increase in production and the and the high grading.

Try to you know the company had been placed cost will perform better.

Good when I looked at a discounted or particularly cast with a full nine nine months is up 50% and Gol d. So much more reasonable ONEOK keep are saying do.

Do you have a sense how how much.

D increasing cost.

[music].

Hi, there.

Related to specific on the Uh huh.

We the lower production that you experienced this year I'm, particularly in the third quarter, where where shipments and production I think surprised positively by getting cost.

We didn't see the benefit of how you you need to <unk>, yeah right about you. Thank you.

I got a little color there.

Well in terms of Capex as I.

I think as I told you and.

Taking notes.

No taking in consideration San Gabriel we expect to invest between 920 $120 million.

Hey.

The business I really will depend on how they did the permits that.

We are.

Yes, you know we are.

And timing with the government.

And but.

And he gave the construction will begin in the in the second quarter. We are expecting that's in sync with where that 2021, you know the capex is around $400 million hole.

That that should be.

In the amount of Oh, okay.

Oh the investment.

Tim So of course.

No that 100 to 120 west for 2020.

No no. This is from <unk>, if anybody wants yeah, okay aboard for 22 anyway.

And we.

We expect to have between 45 and 65.

Got you all right. Thank you.

Mhm.

In the terms of a.

Regarding the cost of goods sold.

Please do you have to keep in mind that in.

Oh you cost.

Operating costs.

That were.

Registered in the second quarter and in the third quarter, while we were not producing in some of our units have been.

We assigned or re a cone fit in.

In in the cost of goods.

Good sold so there is a significant increase in.

In the course of loopholes and a decrease in India.

And gross margin that's what maybe.

Take your your your there.

Your calculations out of the of our big and tall figure and.

And then in the first in the second quarter, We register in the operating expenses not into operating cost, but in discussion with nowhere or the external all the doors they suggest us to move it.

And make a reclassification from operating expenses to.

Operating cost that that's maybe the difference on the total.

Amount of these extra cost an extra up sorry, the all the costs that cannot be absorbed by by the production is her on $29 million.

[noise] and of those $29 million.

About if I remember correctly about 9.2.

Happened in the third quarter right.

Hey, nice between debt can be can be in India in the in the in the third quarter was a.

No were.

But these are the type of work.

Right and how do you see that in the fourth quarter.

Given the full year guidance production guidance that you you provided.

As as as respect go.

The whole ghost.

No just to their unabsorbed cost you to production and stuff.

There should not be any end up sort of course, because we already have some production in all our work in our minds when they this account that this amount is.

And.

Registering an upside of course, when when we don't have any promotion worked was saying that close.

All right great. Thank you very much and then just if I may just one final question.

Yes on on on the de Bottlenecking program.

Great.

Progress in the third quarter 7.1 is still fell short of the budget of 12.1.

Hey, what explains the difference but quarter over <unk> of the budget that number didn't materialize is de.

He is related to the ramp up in production and the disruption that you had high steel index in the third quarter or is there anything else that you can point out specifically that explains and they the gap.

Well basically the reason.

Recently, they've got these c. cobiz related reasons, but maybe Juan Carlos and get more.

An explanation of these.

But then again.

In the late.

Sure Andrew the Yeah as you mentioned, it's mostly related to Colby operational disruptions in double now you saw eyewear plan.

Plans were based on.

Might develop name reduction anymore.

Hence the demand.

We couldn't achieve who use these targets be go we have.

Love books time, maybe the quarter.

As Jeremy stated he liberation. So we did develop the mine or change the multi site I suspect it will be this week.

Quite the same what's for Chaco and maybe the savings that we.

Consolidated EBITDA quite what the high grading oh cover or the underground mine.

Now with the most significant activity for people to make you more about this quarter.

There was we needed workforce that we have.

We focus on these.

Hi, great quarter Peter.

The color you've done the room nights, albeit maybe not achieving the expectation was completed with the limited workforce and they need it painful bbds the mine.

Was.

Yeah, I think Larry.

And workout on the girl Mike.

All right. Thank you very much what kind of scenario.

Thank God.

Our next question today is from Leopoldo Silva of Larrainvial. Please go ahead.

Hi, Good morning, Dan how are you.

So I wanted to ask.

Christopher I apologize if maybe what Alaska has already been asked I just came to a cool 10 minutes ago My.

My question is regarding expected.

Exploration and.

I see that so far nine month on the year and you have to spend less than half done.

What to spend on 2019 exploration.

I wanted to ask you.

And how successful.

If you can comment has been Youre your results.

In particularly in Dumbo My you on Obama.

Has has the cobi.

At least drink you from from doing all of the exploration that you wish you well done.

On on what what should we expect.

And perhaps it's the higher prices that will be embedded in reserves will will those be enough to two we tore you.

You know for for a good 2021 vertical bump up or down or done by you.

And if you can give color on your next.

Reserve release.

So that you can maybe extend that you can that you can go.

Thanks.

Thank you and Apollo.

Yes first of all two to clarify the this gap.

Exploration expenses is mainly due to the difficult too.

Working in.

Colby situation.

We have difficulties in.

Errol workforce.

Workforce and also for the war for for our exploration program.

And.

But once we get all the people all the workforce we are.

Doing.

Most the.

Most of our Air Force too.

Hey, good luck.

On the exploration activity and we are.

Very positive.

The results that but that we are having babies.

These.

Last month.

And we expect to maintain the same level of reserves at the closing of this year.

[laughter].

On December.

And maybe even.

Juan Carlos also for another time gun can give us more more color too.

Exploration sufficiently nowhere you know what might be.

Yes, well thank.

Since you mentioned it would obviously be could be to beat people up to the mine site he or she will be.

Really activities, but we are really happy with these on site right now we have five lease hold much.

Okay great.

Right now.

For the underground Wednesday surface.

He said everywhere. So we go.

Right.

We have four people working right now there is one more a read on board. The next week. So we we have five planned for Brocal bound by November.

We have good result, the underground.

Probably by the end of the year, we cops and.

Where we sold a reflecting increasing resources military reserve because the army work, maybe some better for its always at the site.

But high grade rebate nearby deceleration. So we expect to have much more.

2021 years.

Running at an average of 4000.

Right.

He says quote or more next year.

The the only the Bible, where it's human activities duration more color.

We have five people working right now.

In surface three underground.

We have we have to recall working.

They are getting good results.

No different than it was structured some fights I.

Hi, Great Mayfield two flights in the room I.

And Chuck will check up we have saving three holes, but she is working right now having.

Having good results something are you can really work immediately as usual part of the ongoing TBD.

The Americas name Oh.

Four of them are overexploitation animals out there.

We're having good results but.

Campaign, we don't have a consolidated see were itself pretty stupid, so probably by the end of the year as usual, we report where violence. He thinks will be terribly guy I'm sure time.

What specific numbers on there we sub lease exploration efforts.

Okay. Thanks, Thanks, very much very clear.

I know there.

Another point to another thing to point out is that you over men open the cone on me, but basis right and the exploration was up.

After the beginning.

Of our operations. So there's another there's another point of of the Lady nowhere explanation for it.

Uh huh.

Though.

The prices the current prices of the precious metal at least and would would lead you to.

Increased perhaps your operating rates.

And may be sacrificing some higher cost.

But bucketing from though at the moment.

Yes.

Hi, I'm wondering can you repeat I didn't hear you, yes, you were with.

Yes, sorry, so, though these higher precious metals.

Prices.

Would allow you or would you be keen to to increase your production rates and maybe at higher costs on.

On those mines, but perhaps mining resources.

Resources, not reserves and that does.

At 13.

$1300, an ounce of gold maybe are not economical but at 22000. The downside would be would you would you be able to to increased costs.

Maybe sacrificing some additional costs.

Okay I understand your question.

We are in the process of.

Making nowhere operations.

Lending.

November.

We should evaluate there.

Which is the best.

Mining plan for all our mines.

That mining plan Cedars.

That's always the price.

And.

The.

The old the level of core and only.

The content in there or that we.

More available so.

So.

We we should evaluate that in.

Remember we will.

Well of course, the current prices, which is where.

Oh good.

We believe that we will like to have it.

It does.

21.

All right.

Well, thanks, thanks very much.

Our next question today is from Tom.

Yes to cost.

Scotia Bank. Please go ahead.

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking my question.

Wanted to ask about your reserve.

So.

If I understand you correctly will you be changing the pricing.

Options that you used at the end of 219 and move them up in Twentytwenty. It that's what I'm understanding.

Hi, Thank you no no no that's it for our mining plan that reserve.

We got the.

Proceed here, who will feel.

You know we be sick as you see them.

Yeah.

Procedures.

That does that answer was.

Regarding our mining plans for for next year.

I appreciate the project will be Dan.

Hi, a pricing I'm just trying to understand how would you use that three year rolling average for your pricing for your reserves and resources is that what youre going to use the FTC formats for that.

Yes, and that's it.

Well, we calculated our reserves Okay. And then you know you mentioned on the drilling side that you know you're you're going to be replacing your reserves and resources I know that your mine plans have changed this year and you are mining higher grade material set you're going after that how does that.

Change your mind plan for what you are going to do in Twentytwenty one.

Well no our effort is to.

Searching a nowhere exploration that Ford is searching to replace those high grade areas.

As you May hear you.

Got lost and we all know where might I need it.

Very high activity in doing.

It doesn't matter.

We should.

Being having results.

For for the very close 2021, we still.

Making our plan to given the prices and given the the the.

Content that we find maybe for another one Carlos can give more explanation.

The fact that you.

Sure. We underwrote. The study protocol agreed we are planning to extend that we have the ability to extend that after the end of the year.

We know that the call, we probably will be around for way more fine you quarter to quarter more so the distressed. He also that he didn't develop equally by the 2021 needs to see if we can continue we.

Yes, they censored though I.

I agree broadly not higher.

The hair and ongoing quieter, but you see here than average for me at least by 2021, that's the JV strategy. We are developing detailed all the mining plan.

Hi, Dave.

Valuable to develop these threats.

And then.

Bye bye.

The decrease in each case he cannot be thanks.

Oh, the sequence of mining, but he's got underground mine, where we have seen it on the.

We can change I think the we see good.

Right.

Oh.

We wouldn't try to move that up it doesn't put your wife wet.

Yes, sometimes I went that high grading upfront you compromise your reserves.

And no compromise our body longer term. So are you, saying that the underground youre just going to be moving to higher grade areas. So there's no compromise in your reserve basis.

That's correct, we need to be buried cage crucial situation.

The strategies that we divided for panel choke bigger upside without compromising the orbio mining sequence of the mine. So yes, we need to be very occasion Asia's. Another reason, we are working on that right now.

The target he supply to keep up with the high grade.

Well the.

He doesn't do anyone but we need to validate that equally.

He will get back on the shelf.

It's been a big genetic study at this point, Okay, and then maybe I just can I ask one other question Richard shop like when do you expect that line to be back at full capacity in 2021, and then will you be reporting your monthly data like will you be reporting like November October.

Number four X. and November or will you just showing it to Washington and that the quarterly data I'm just trying to understand if it's going to just be showing in the quarterly data monthly or will you be announcing monthly data going forward for us.

In terms of our releases.

For this year, we in order to have the same conspiring to see.

We decided to.

Report monthly our production figures.

So we you should this big nowhere for election.

Please.

Month by month.

And in terms of Tarkwa.

Well Carlos.

We continue.

Yes.

I mentioned before we are right now to give you much at 30% capacity of the processing plant.

If we're on the ground are shared between production will mind.

Sweeping motorparts, reaching the higher rate, what do you believe or I should say.

And we believe that the promotion.

Well the underground mine.

The production of the dealer theme, we have high grade copper pillar between two to two parts and copper in certain areas of other domain. So we deleted workforce that we have we moved a lot of effort to recover those pillars and bring that production. The processing plant now one of the reasons we have been increasingly.

Production.

We keep up with the traditional corporate EBITDA, we there maybe you could walk.
