The focus on delivering consistent production in a safe manner continued with no lost time injuries during the quarter , and our employee and contractor workforce now sits at 3.75 million hours lost time injury free . " As a result of the reliable performance achieved so far this year , we are tracking very well against our 2021 operational guidance . With a similar level of production to Q3 anticipated in Q4 , we expect full year gold production to come in at the upper end of the guidance range of 430,000 to 470,000 ounces . Total cash costs for the full year are expected to be toward the mid - point of the guided range of $ 680 to $ 720 per ounce . All - in sustaining costs are expected to increase in Q4 as a greater amount of waste is capitalized as part of the El Limón pushback ; however , with lower than anticipated waste mined in Q3 , all - in sustaining costs for the full year are expected to be toward the mid - point of the guided range of $ 920 to $ 970 per ounce sold . " Overall , we are executing on the plan we outlined more than a year ago - a plan focused on extending and optimizing production and cash flow from ELG , advancing and de - risking Media Luna toward first production in early 2024 , as well as strengthening the balance sheet . With more than $ 220 million in cash on hand and solid cash generation from ELG forecast through at least mid - 2024 , we are in a strong financial position to advance Media Luna and continue to invest in near - mine and regional exploration .
