The cost of sales was $1,096 per ounce in Q4 and $1,021 for the year, while all-in sustaining costs were $1,510 per ounce in Q4 and $1,388 for the year. The company generated record free cash flow of more than $1.34 billion, significantly benefiting from a 37% rise in operating margins against a 23% increase in the realized gold price.
