AI Summary
Q3 2025

Record Operating Income: Contango reported record operating income of $25 million in Q3, driven by production exceeding plan and effective cost management.

Cost Control: All-in sustaining costs (AISC) were held below target at $1,597 per ounce, benefiting from stable diesel prices and operational discipline.

Strong Cash Position: Cash increased sharply from $20 million at year-end to $107 million as of September 30, partly due to an $87 million distribution from the Peak Gold JV.

Capital Allocation: The company used its strengthened balance sheet to pay down debt and settle carry trades, with ongoing focus on hedge delivery.

Operational Progress: Blending Manh Choh’s low-grade oxide ore with Fort Knox achieved 94% recovery, with potential to unlock additional resources.

Growth Pipeline: Drilling at Lucky Shot and advancing Johnson Tract are key priorities, with feasibility work and permitting underway.

Guidance and Taxes: Management expects AISC to remain below $1,600/oz this year and next, and does not anticipate paying taxes in 2023 or 2024.
