Key Points
Positve
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) is on track to achieve annual guidance from its producing mines, with higher production expected in the second half of the year driven by operational improvements and the startup of the Kermuk mine.
- The company is advancing its growth project, Kermuk, which is in commissioning and expected to be in production in September, with project costs tracking to budget and over 90% of costs committed.
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) has a strong financial position, ending the quarter with more than $190 million in treasury and a pro forma cash balance of just under half a billion dollars after the Zijin Gold strategic investment.
- The company has increased mine life at its Cote d'Ivoire complex, now targeting 200,000 ounces per year for at least 10 years, with Agbaou's proven and probable reserves increased by 60%.
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) has impressive exploration potential with a $36 million budget, which was increased due to exploration successes in the first half of the year, including new oxide discoveries at Sadiola.
- The company expects significant cost improvements, with all-in sustaining costs expected to decline significantly at Sadiola and Kermuk, potentially below $1,200 per ounce and even below $1,000 per ounce at Kermuk.
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) is unique as a mid-tier gold producer with two Tier 1 generational mines in its portfolio, providing a strong value proposition and attractive valuation.
- The company has delivered on its plans, improving the company and increasing value since receiving an offer to sell for $44 per share in January, and is now more advanced and better positioned.
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) has no restrictions on repatriating capital in Mali, and the jurisdictions it operates in are high-quality for mining with supportive infrastructure.
- The company is implementing a dividend policy and expects to provide cash returns to investors, with the Zijin investment acting as an accelerant to build cash balances and demonstrate sustainable cash flow.
Negative
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) faces geopolitical concerns in its operating jurisdictions, particularly Mali, Ethiopia, and Cote d'Ivoire, which may be over-penalized by investors despite the company's ability to manage them.
- The company's all-in sustaining costs are currently below $2,200 per ounce, which is relatively high, though expected to trend down with higher production and lower expenditures.
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) had a big cash tax bill in the second quarter, with 75% of total cash taxes for the year paid in Q2, impacting cash flow.
- The startup of operations at Kermuk is subject to ramp-up risks, with production levels for the year uncertain due to grade variability and the timing of production start in September.
- The company's growth projects, such as the Sadiola expansion, require significant capital deployment, with construction expected to proceed through 2027 and 2028 before production starts in 2029.
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) is dependent on the successful completion of the Zijin Gold strategic investment to achieve a pro forma cash balance of just under half a billion dollars, which is not yet finalized.
- The company's power solution at Sadiola, including solar and generator refresh, is still being advanced, and the grid power connection at Kermuk is not yet fully operational, though backup generators are available.
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) has a relatively short mine life at some operations, such as Agbaou at approximately six years, though efforts are underway to extend it to 10 years.
- The company's production growth is dependent on exploration success, which is not guaranteed, and the budget was increased due to successes in the first half of the year, but future discoveries are uncertain.
- Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) is trading at an attractive valuation, but this may reflect investor concerns about the jurisdictions and the company's ability to deliver on its growth plans.

As some of our management is remote and for efficiency and also for the cadence of this call, I will present our formal presentation, but management is available on the call to address any questions.
We're happy to be back with these conference calls, and given that we have had a hiatus on these calls. We thought it would be helpful to provide a recap of who we are and what we are and where we are going as part of our quarterly results.
We are in Mali, we're in Cote d'Ivoire, and we are in Ethiopia.
I begin with a discussion about the jurisdictions in which we operate, as there has been much said about these jurisdictions, but again, we hope to
