Dundee Precious Metals Delivers Strong Third Quarter Gold Production; Announces Timing of Third Quarter Financial Results

TORONTO, Oct. 10, 2023 - Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX: DPM) ("DPM" or "the Company") announced preliminary production results from both of its mines and smelter for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

"In the third quarter, we continued our strong operating track record, with Ada Tepe achieving a new record for quarterly gold production and Chelopech delivering solid production in-line with our expectations," said David Rae, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dundee Precious Metals. "We continue to be well-positioned to achieve our 2023 guidance targets for gold and copper production."

Production Highlights

Preliminary results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are provided in the table below:

(1) As disclosed in Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, issued on August 1, 2023 and available at www.sedarplus.com and at www.dundeeprecious.com.

Operational Highlights

During the third quarter, Chelopech produced approximately 40.3 K oz. of gold and 7.2 Mlbs. of copper, in-line with expectations. Chelopech is on track to achieve 2023 production guidance.

Ada Tepe produced a record 33.8 K oz. of gold in the third quarter, in-line with expectations and reflecting higher grades per the mine plan. Ada Tepe is on track to achieve 2023 production guidance.

The Tsumeb smelter processed approximately 21.8 Kt of complex concentrate, reflecting the planned Ausmelt maintenance shutdown, which was completed during the quarter. Following the completion of the maintenance work, Tsumeb resumed operations and ramped up to full production towards the end of September. While complex concentrate smelted is expected to increase in the fourth quarter, reflecting improved operating performance as a result of the maintenance work, it is forecast to be below the guidance range for the year.
