         The production beat vs. consensus was driven by a slightly better than expected performance across operating mines and the earlier than expected first pour gold at Ity CIL
         The AISC beat vs. consensus was largely driven by a beat at Agbaou while Hounde and Karma were within 5% of consensus
         Q1-2019 production decreased and AISC increased over the record Q4-2018 (as anticipated) due to: 1) the Ity heap leach operation ceased in 2018 ahead of the CIL commissioning and 2) the group strategically fed ῀30% of total mill feed from low-grade stockpiles (in line with the previously announced focus on reducing working capital), allowing for an increase in waste capitalization activities which is expected to give rise to higher grades in the upcoming quarters.
·     Well positioned to meet full year 2019 production and AISC guidance
