Polymetal International said Monday that first-quarter revenue jumped 64 percent from the same period a year earlier, setting the company up to achieve its full-year target.
Sales reached $377 million in the three months as prices and output increased. Gold production grew 24 percent to 101,000 troy ounces, while silver output climbed 74 percent to 5.7 million ounces, Polymetal said. Total output was 203,000 gold-equivalent ounces.
"First-quarter production didn't include 32,000 ounces of gold in concentrate produced at the Albazino mine and stockpiled there in the period in the absence of navigation on the Amur River," chief executive Vitaly Nesis said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
