Artemis Gold released its production results at Blackwater Mine for the first quarter of 2026.
The mine, roughly 160 kilometres southwest of Prince George, produced 61,923 ounces of gold, with the plant processing 1.32 million tonnes.
The report follows reduced throughput due to unplanned maintenance including a 7-day unplanned shutdown in March.
The company noted gold recovery at the mill was a record 90.6 per cent as a result of ore blending and continued optimization efforts, up from 88.1 per cent in Q4 2025.
The site is maintaining its full year production guidance of 265,000 to 290,000 ounces of gold, and plans to make up for the unplanned downtime experienced in Q1.
