In 2020, payable gold production totaled 1,736,568 ounces of gold (including 36,416 ounces of pre-commercial gold production from the IVR pit at Amaruq, the Tiriganiaq open pit at Meliadine, and the Barnat pit at Canadian Malartic), with production costs per ounce of $838, total cash costs per ounce of $775 and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) per ounce of $1,051. Production costs, total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce exclude the pre-commercial production ounces from IVR, Tiriganiaq and Barnat.

The 2.6% decrease in gold production in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily due to the temporary shutdowns or reduced activity levels as a result of measures taken by the Quebec and Mexican governments related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2021, payable gold production is expected to be approximately 2.05 million ounces (mid-point), while total cash costs per ounce are expected to be between $700 to $750, and AISC are forecast between $950 to $1,000 per ounce of gold, on a by-product basis. This guidance for 2021 does not include production from the newly acquired Hope Bay gold project in Nunavut.
