Dolly Varden Silver Outlines 2024 Resource Expansion and Discovery-Focused Exploration Drill Program

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 23, 2024) – Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSXV: DV) (OTCQX: DOLLF) (the “Company” or “Dolly Varden“) is pleased to announce plans for the 2024 exploration drilling program at its 100% owned Kitsault Valley Project. An initial 25,000 meters of diamond drilling is planned, starting with three drills. The focus will be on following up on new discoveries as well as stepping out from wide, higher-grade intercepts from the 2023 drilling, particularly at the Homestake Silver and Wolf deposits. Mobilization will be in the first week of May, allowing for an earlier start on exploration than previous years due to a low snowpacks.

The drill program will be split approximately 50/50 between the Dolly Varden Property and the Homestake Ridge Property, with an overall project split of 1/3 to Homestake Silver deposit area, 1/3 to Wolf deposit area and 1/3 to project wide exploration targets with new discovery potential.

“Our drill results from Homestake Silver were among the highest-grade gold and silver intercepts anywhere in the Golden Triangle in 2023; our priority with this early start is to continue with step-outs as well as infill drilling to confirm continuity of the potentially bulk-mineable mineralization. Further south, silver mineralization at Wolf remains wide open for expansion and this seasons’ introduction of directional drilling technology will allow for highly accurate placement of drill intercepts,” said Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver.

Wolf Vein

At the Wolf Vein, drilling is planned to delineate the width and extent of the southerly plunge of wider and higher-grade silver mineralization. Step out holes that define the trace of the plunge are spaced so that any new mineralization can be included in a future resource update. The Company will implement directional drilling technology with the objective of more cost effective and accurate exploration at Wolf, particularly for deep holes.

Wolf Vein remains open to depth where results from 2023 drilling indicate an increase in base metal (lead and zinc) content as well as wider epithermal breccia vein silver mineralization, such as previous released step-out drill hole DV23-375, that intersected 296 g/t silver, 1.68% Pb and 3.01%Zn (461 g/t AgEq*) over 26.99 meters, including 1,475g/t Ag, 10.65% Pb and 12% Zn (2,260 g/t AgEq*) over 0.50 meter from an 81-metre step-out (from previous release: November 6, 2023).

*AuEq and AgEq are calculated using two precious metal components at $US1650/oz Au, $US20/oz Ag, $US0.90/lb Pb and $US1.10/lb Zn. Assays are not capped and 100% recovery used for Ag and Au and base metals.
**Estimated true widths vary depending on intersection angles and range from 50% to 85% of core lengths, further modelling of the new interpretation is needed before true widths can be calculated.

Homestake Silver

The program planned for Homestake Silver will start with follow up drilling on the newly discovered gold zone at the northern extent of deposit, where coarse-grained native gold in late-stage quartz-carbonate veins (Figure 3.) returned grades of 1,335 g/t Au and 781 g/t Ag over 0.68 meters within a wider interval of stockwork grading 79.49 g/t Au and 60 g/t Ag over 12.45 meters in drill hole HR23-389 (from previous release: February 12, 2024). Data from oriented core drilling indicates these quartz-carbonate veins are geologically younger and crosscut the Homestake trend at a low angle.

The second part of Homestake Silver drilling will be resource expansion and upgrade holes that target the low angle, north dipping plunge of wide and high-grade gold and silver mineralization encountered in 2023 (Figure 4.). The mineralized plunge orientation at Homestake Silver was initially recognized in 2023 with results such as previously reported drill hole HR23-416, that intercepted the newly defined mineralized envelope returned a 93.95 meter wide zone grading 1.74 g/t Au and 213 g/t Ag (357 g/t AgEq) which included several distinct breccia vein intervals grading 11.80 g/t Au and 1,824 g/t Ag (2,802 g/t AgEq) over 9.16 meters length, 13.16 g/t Au and 3,085 g/t Ag (4,176 g/t AgEq) over 2.26 meters and 55.40 g/t Au and 4,830 g/t Ag (9,422 g/t AgEq) over 1.02 meters (previous release: January 16, 2024).

Exploration Targets including Moose Vein

The Moose Vein is located 1.5 km up north of the Wolf Vein and is interpreted to be hosted within a similar cross cutting structure as Wolf. In 2023, drill hole DV23-371 from the Moose vein intercepted veining and mineralization similar to that seen at Wolf that graded 712 g/t Ag over 1.00 meter within a 7.55-metre-length interval averaging 269 g/t Ag (from previous release: November 6, 2024). This mineralization will be followed up by targeting down the same plunge trend as defined at Wolf.

Other Exploration targets on both the Homestake Ridge and Dolly Varden properties include targets within the 5.4 km long area between the southern end of Homestake Silver and Wolf Vein, under the mid-valley sedimentary cap rocks. Additionally, geophysical targets west of the Homestake Main deposit will be tested, within a parallel basin bounding structures similar to those hosting the Homestake Main and Homestake Silver deposits.

Other studies on road access, advanced metallurgy, wildlife, and baseline environmental monitoring as well as field mapping in underexplored areas of the property will be completed.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

The Company adheres to CIM Best Practices Guidelines for exploration related activities conducted on its property. Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures are overseen by the Qualified Person.

Dolly Varden QA/QC protocols are maintained through the insertion of certified reference material (standards), blanks and field duplicates within the sample stream. Drill core is cut in-half with a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags and shipped to the laboratory and the other half retained on site. Third party laboratory checks on 5% of the samples are carried out as well. Chain of custody is maintained from the drill to the submittal into the laboratory preparation facility.

Analytical testing was performed by ALS Canada Ltd. in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The entire sample is crushed to 70% minus 2mm (10 mesh), of which a 500 gram split is pulverized to minus 200 mesh. Multi-element analyses were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for 48 elements following a 4-acid digestion process. High grade silver testing was determined by Fire Assay with either an atomic absorption, or a gravimetric finish, depending on grade range. Au is also determined by fire assay on a 30g split with either atomic absorption, or gravimetric finish, depending on grade range. Metallic screen on a 1.0kg sample may be completed on high-grade gold samples.

Riverside Expands Pichette Gold Project Target, Progressing Discovery in NW Ontario

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 17, 2024) – Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) (“Riverside” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce it has expanded the targeting area at the Pichette Project 60 km west of Greenstone Gold’s open pit mining operations in Geraldton, Ontario. Riverside’s work with structural geology and geochemistry has progressed the targeting of two new areas. At Pichette, structural geologic intersections of favorable lithology particularly with banded iron formation (BIF) are key to hosting mineralization as was noted in the nearby, past-producing Leitch and Sand River mines, where operations produced at or above 2/3 ounce per ton gold commonly producing at over 1 oz Au per ton (OGS, OFR 5538).

Structures associated with banded iron formation units were well defined by the recent drone magnetic survey. Working with this data with field information, Riverside was able to locate and sample key new outcrops of mineralized banded iron formation believed to be the PAT veins which have been drilled in the past. Several samples were taken from the vein along a 50m exposed section that returned 1m chip samples of 13g/t and 21 g/t gold within banded iron formation units (see NR, February 29, 2024). Recent logging has exposed a lot of outcrops for examination which will hopefully allow the Company to locate some of the historic drill pads or collars.

“Riverside is progressing work in NW Ontario along the Geraldton-Beardmore Greenstone Gold Belt and continues to refine and improve the Company’s targeting for gold in the three main target environments similar to those at Greenstone Gold where open pit production is beginning this year and will be the 4th largest open pit gold producer in Canada of a scale similar to Detour Gold” states Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude.

The Pichette Project has excellent road access and infrastructure being located immediately south of the Trans-Canada Highway. The project is underlain by an east-west trending panel of Archean-aged metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks intruded by gabbros and porphyries. Metamorphism and tectonics have in most cases upgraded the tenor of gold mineralization in the belt between Beardmore and Geraldton. The Company analysis interprets the first phase of deformation resulted in folding of the Banded Iron Formations and north-south shortening of intrusions with most of the vein mineralization occurring during a second sinistral shearing event. These rocks were again subjected to a third dextral shearing event which resulted in some remobilization in metals.

F3 Intersects Radioactivity Across Multiple Zones

Uncovers Significant and Favorable Reverse Faulting at B1

Kelowna, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 16, 2024) – F3 Uranium Corp (TSV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) (“F3” or “the Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of the first 30 drill holes (totaling 12,100 meters) of its 2024 winter drill program. JR Zone has continued to yield high grade intercepts, such as PLN23-137 which intersected mineralization within a 18.5m interval including 1.25m of composite off-scale mineralization (>65,535 cps), while the Company’s focus has expanded to the discovery of additional mineralized zones along the A1 and B1 structures, with numerous radioactive intercepts along both shears, generating additional drill targets.

Ray Ashley, President, commented: “We are very pleased with the results from this winter’s drill program, and the number of new targets generated along both the A1 and B1 systems. The scale of reverse faulting in conjunction with related massive graphitic fault structures at B1 was unexpected and supports our theory that the majority of B1 drilling south of line 2850 may have been in the footwall of this fault, where intense alteration and frequent radioactive intercepts suggest the presence of a nearby source. At A1, considerable undrilled gaps remain open for exploration, such as the 800m gap where hole PLN24-140 was drilled, returning over 11,000 cps on the gamma probe within the shear. With a large-scale gravity survey underway, in addition to a joint inversion of ground EM and resistivity geophysics, we continue to develop new targets for the drill program slated to resume in May after a short pause for seasonal breakup.”

A1 Shear Zone

A1, which is host to the high-grade JR Zone, contains several significant undrilled sections: PLN24-140 was collared on line 2325S, within a 800m long area along the A1 with no previous drilling, and intersected up to 560 cps on the handheld spectrometer, and up to 11,000 cps on the QL40 GRA gamma probe. Prior to PLN24-140, gamma probe readings greater than 10,000 cps had not been encountered outside of the JR Zone, resulting in a priority target for the program resumption in May.

B1 Shear Zone

At B1, a total of nine drill holes targeted the intense alteration and structure intersected during the 2023 drill campaign, as these features often occur in close proximity to high grade uranium mineralization. Five drill holes intersected anomalous radiation over a total strike length of 600m. Drill hole PLN24-133 targeted an area near the northern end of the B1 shear zone where a significant change in Athabasca Sandstone depth was expected and encountered a basement wedge in excess of 120m downhole thickness within the sandstone exhibiting strong alteration and deformation (see Cross Section for line 2850S below). Figure 1 shows the lower structural Athabasca Unconformity at a depth of 291.2m, with significantly structurally disturbed sandstone beneath. An extremely graphitic structure was intersected within this wedge (see Figure 2), and in all follow up drilling on section and along strike. Drilling on line 2850S with PLN24-138 and PLN24-142 and step out drilling on line 2820S with PLN24-144 confirmed that the strike of this very significant offsetting reverse structure appears to be discordant to the B1 main shear, and likely related to the Harrison fault, a significant regional structure which played an important role in the development of the Athabasca basin.

This magnitude of displacement along wide and strongly graphitic basement faults is highly favorable, and structurally comparable to what is seen at some of the largest uranium deposits in the basin. This now provides a number of drill targets for high grade uranium mineralization including the unconformity contacts, as well as the basement “nose” at the terminus of the wedge within the sandstone, with a focus on where the A1 and B1 structures intercept this offsetting reverse fault.

Natural gamma radiation in the drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 scintillometer. The Company considers greater than 300 cps on the handheld spectrometer as anomalous, >10,000 cps as high grade and greater than 65,535 cps as off-scale. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. Samples from the drill core are split in half on site and are standardized at 0.5m lengths. One half of the split sample will be submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK. for lithogeochemical analysis using their “Uranium Package.”

All depth measurements reported are down-hole and true thicknesses are yet to be determined.

The Company contracted Patterson Geophysics Inc. (“Patterson“) to complete 65 line-km of fixed loop SQUID electromagnetic survey coverage (FL-SQUID-EM) over the B1 target area, to measure the induced electromagnetic (“EM“) fields associated with sandstone alteration effects as well as the response to dipping basement conductors. A trace of this conductor model projected to surface is shown on Map 1, and notably deviated in strike from the original B1 conductor model. The data collected by Patterson was used to target and successfully drill the large graphitic structure associated with the basement wedge intersected in PLN24-133.

Dias Geophysical Ltd. completed the 3D DC resistivity and induced polarization (DCIP) over the northern A1 area hosting the JR Zone, and the B1 area, using their DIAS32 system. F3 has engaged a contractor to process and perform 3D inversion modeling of resistivity and EM geophysical data jointly and in conjunction with all the drilling data to better resolve thin basement hosted conductors.

Initial Exploration Services Inc. has been contracted to conduct a ground gravity survey over the southwest section of the PLN and Broach properties. The survey is currently focusing on surveying the lakes and waterbodies using ice cover, with the remainder of the survey area to be infilled in late spring, and F3 aims to disclose those results once all the data has been collected and interpreted.

About Patterson Lake North:

The Company’s 4,078-hectare 100% owned Patterson Lake North property (PLN) is located just within the south-western edge of the Athabasca Basin in proximity to Fission Uranium’s Triple R and NexGen Energy’s Arrow high-grade world class uranium deposits which is poised to become the next major area of development for new uranium operations in northern Saskatchewan. PLN is accessed by Provincial Highway 955, which transects the property, and the new JR Zone uranium discovery is located 23km northwest of Fission Uranium’s Triple R deposit. The PLN property is part of the PLN Project which also includes the Minto and Broach properties.

EMX Royalty Enters into Automatic Share Purchase Plan

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 15, 2024) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (FSE: 6E9) (the “Company” or “EMX“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP“) with its broker in order to facilitate repurchases of EMX’s common shares (the “Shares“) under the Company’s previously announced normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB“).

The Company previously announced that it had received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) to purchase up to 5,000,000 Shares for cancellation over a twelve-month period that commenced on February 13, 2024 and terminates no later than February 12, 2025. All purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSXV, NYSE American Stock Exchange (“NYSE American“), other designated exchanges and/or alternative Canadian trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted by applicable securities laws. The price that EMX will pay for Shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of purchase. Any Shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. Since the commencement of the NCIB on February 13, 2024, the Company has purchased 17,700 Shares on the TSXV and alternative Canadian trading systems at a weighted average price per Share of $2.62 for an aggregate value of approximately $46,000, and 58,302 Shares on the NYSE American and alternative U.S. trading systems at a weighted average price per Share of US$1.93 for an aggregate value of approximately US$112,000.

EMX believes that from time to time, the market price of its Shares may not reflect their underlying value and that the purchase of its Shares will enhance shareholder value and increase liquidity of the Shares. The Company intends to fund the purchases out of available cash. The ASPP will facilitate purchases under the NCIB as it will allow for purchases of Shares to be made at times when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to make purchases, whether due to regulatory restriction or customary self-imposed blackout periods.

Under the ASPP, the Company’s broker may purchase Shares from the effective date of the ASPP until the end of the NCIB. The ASPP will facilitate purchases of Shares under the NCIB by authorizing the Company’s broker to make purchases at its sole discretion based on parameters set by the Company in accordance with the rules of the TSXV and NYSE American, applicable law and the terms of the ASPP. Outside of periods that the Company is restricted from purchasing Shares pursuant to insider trading rules or its own internal trading blackout policies, Shares may also be purchased at the Company’s discretion, in compliance with the rules of the TSXV and NYSE American and applicable law.

All purchases of Shares made under the ASPP will be included in determining the number of Shares purchased under the NCIB. Any Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the ASPP will be cancelled. The Company is not currently in possession of any material undisclosed information in relation to the Company, the Shares or any of the Company’s other securities. The ASPP constitutes a “written automatic purchase plan” for purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and the ASPP has been pre-cleared by the TSXV and will be effective on April 12, 2024.

The ASPP will terminate on the earliest of the date on which: (a) the maximum purchase limit under the NCIB has been reached; (b) the NCIB expires; or (c) the ASPP otherwise terminates in accordance with its terms.

About EMX – EMX is a precious, and base metals royalty company. EMX’s investors are provided with discovery, development, and commodity price optionality, while limiting exposure to risks inherent to operating companies. The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE American Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “EMX”. Please see www.EMXroyalty.com for more information.

Vancouver, British Columbia, April 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to provide an update from the Phase I and II exploration drilling within its principal 168 km2 Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The Company completed approximately 2,200 m of drilling along a shallow, high grade, silver-dominated, intermediate sulfidation polymetallic Ag-Au-Pb-Zn-Sb vein system at the locality known as Chumavichi (Figures 1 and 2). This semi-continuous, 7.2 km-long structural corridor associated with a low magnetic response was previously largely untested by drilling and hosts altered volcanic tuffs and breccias with occurrences of massive Pb, Zn and Fe sulphides.

At the Company’s second Viogor-Zanik target of Brezani (Figures 1 and 3), Terra discovered a surficial auriferous skarn superimposed on an Ag-Pb-Zn-Au mineralized, NE-shallowing structural system itself overlying porphyry andesites stock from 550 m of depth. The target is characterized by overlapping 1.2 km wide magnetic and EM anomalies with over 700 meters wide Au-Bi-Zn anomaly at surface and banded skarn outcrops with sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Similar geophysical signatures are detected at the 4.1 Moz Au Eq. Rogozna Au-Cu skarn project in SW Serbia. The Company completed approximately 1,200 m of diamond drilling at Brezani with additional assays to be released shortly.

Highlights

  • Maiden Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD001 intercepted 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 m from 29 m of depth, including 1,634.4 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters;
  • Chumavichi Ridge drill hole CMVDD002 intercepted 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
  • CMVDD003, an 83-meter step-out from CMVDD001, intercepted a vein interval of 465.5 g/t AgEq. over 8.7 meters, including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters, and is open at depth;
  • The step out drillhole CMVDD005 returned 284 g/t AgEq over 10.0 m including 895.8 g/t AgEq over 2.0 m (see Figure 3) approximately 50 m west-northwest of CMVDD002;
  • The Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD004 along the same drill fence 40 m northeast of CMVDD005 returned 505.3 g/t AgEq over 11.0 m from 43.0 m depth including 3075.4 g/t AgEq (108.5 oz/t AgEq) over 1.7 m;
  • Shallow, polymetallic mineralization was also intersected 600 m NW of the discovery hole at the Cumavici Ridge where two drill holes through a new parallel structure returned 531 g/t AgEq over 0.75 m (CMV23007), and 355 g/t AgEq over 1.10 m (CMV23009);
  • The Phase II drillhole CMV23004 intersected 1,168 g/t AgEq over 1.35 m from 36.2 m downhole to add 42 m strike length SE of CMVDD002 with mineralization remaining open and untested down-dip (Figure 2);
  • Drillhole CMV23003 intersected 457 g/t AgEq over 4.15 m from 43.85 m downhole and points to a wider down-dip continuation of the high-grade mineralization from the previously reported CMV23004 (Figure 2);
  • Drill testing of the 650 m-wide, conductivity high at the centre a 1.2 km wide anomalously magnetic rock volume at Brezani intercepted 0.61 g/t AuEq over 88.0 m (BREDD002) and 0.58 g/t AuEq over 28.6 m (BREDD001). Continuation of this drillhole along same azimuth and dip to depth of 674 m has intercepted a substantial width of low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization and potassically altered, porphyritic andesites overprinted by chlorite from 550 m depth (Figure 3).

Cumavici is observed in the NW of the license package with the Brezani discovery 12 km to the SE. The operating Sase mine producing 350ktpa of Pb-Zn-Ag-Sb-Au concentrate is located 7 km east of Chumavichi (WGS84/UTM Zone 34N click here to view image).

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments: “After a year of systematic targeting followed by approximately 3,400 m of diamond drilling over the last two years, we are proud to lay claims to two precious metal rich, polymetallic discoveries at an emerging European mining jurisdiction. Our systematic high grade silver intercepts from two of the five defined Chumavichi corridor targets are indications of its outstanding potential considering it is located only 7 km west of Mineco’s silver mine at Sase. Our recent discovery of similar polymetallic mineralization at Brezani adds further value to this multi-domain target. There, a significant mineralized intercept underlies the previously confirmed auriferous skarn starting from surface and overlies a porphyry system which Terra has been targeting at Viogor-Zanik from the very outset. We believe the potential of our discovery at Brezani is tremendous considering the shallowing of the epithermal mineralization along a presumed fault to northeast and stratigraphic intercept below the boiling horizon which will be targeted by our future drill programs. Collectively, this is a thrilling development for Terra as we aim to release assay results from additional five drill holes at Brezani and prepare for a continued definition of this massive magmatic-hydrothermal system in eastern Bosnia”

The mineralization remains untested and open down dip to the southwest and entirely open to the NW. The high-grade mineralization footprint currently sits at approximately 92 m (strike length) by 150 m in down dip direction (click here to view image).

Upcoming Results

Laboratory assays results from section of drill hole BREDD002 below 215 m depth (Figure 3) are pending QA/QC verification and will be released imminently. Additionally, four more diamond drill holes (BRE23001-004) between depths of 120 and 160 m that tested the surface gold bearing calc-silicates and magmatic breccias will be released in comings months.

Drillhole BREDD002 is shown, with a tabular conductivity feature extending to the ENE from the epithermal mineralized interval. Conductivity feature is interpreted as the continuation of the host structure with increased conductivity due to sulphide and clay within the broken rock mass. It passes through a break in the magnetics, which is further evidence of structural control (click here to view image).

Peabody Provides Update on First Quarter 2024 Results

ST. LOUIS, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Peabody (NYSE:BTU) today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2024. The company expects to report first quarter revenue of $980 million; income from continuing operations, net of income taxes of $45 million; and Adjusted EBITDA1 of $160 million. These amounts are estimates, actual first quarter 2024 financial results will be released on May 2, 2024.

Sales volumes in the first quarter were largely in-line with expectations for our seaborne segments while the U.S. thermal segments reported lower than expected shipments. The seaborne thermal segment shipped 4.0 million tons (including 2.5 million export tons), the seaborne met segment shipped 1.4 million tons, the PRB segment shipped 18.7 million tons and the Other U.S. thermal segment shipped 3.2 million tons.

First quarter results were impacted by the following factors: 1) unfavorable seaborne thermal coal mix as a result of lower production at Wambo due to an extended longwall ramp-up offset by additional production of lower quality coal at Wilpinjong; 2) lower average realized prices in the seaborne metallurgical coal segment due to HVA and PCI to HCC price relativities significantly below historical levels and mining of lower quality coal at the CMJV; 3) higher than anticipated costs at the CMJV from an unplanned dragline outage and the acceleration of planned coal prep plant repairs; 4) lower U.S. thermal volumes due to unseasonably warm weather and continued low natural gas prices; and 5) an approximate $18 million non-cash remeasurement of AUD denominated monetary assets.

“Our first quarter included some unforeseen production challenges that are now behind us,” said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech. “The CMJV dragline and Wambo longwall are again operating on plan and Shoal Creek continues to exceed production expectations as we begin the second quarter.”

On Thursday, May 2, 2024, Peabody will announce results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.  An investor conference call with management is scheduled for 10 a.m. CT on May 2, 2024.
