Patrick Drouin -- Senior Vice President of Investor Relations

Thank you, Operator. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for participating in today's call. I am joined today by Randy Smallwood, Wheaton Precious Metals' President and Chief Executive Officer, Gary Brown, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Haytham Hodaly, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development.

I'd like to bring to your attention that some of the commentary on today's call may contain forward-looking statements. There can be no assurances that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Patrick, and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us today to discuss Wheaton's first quarter results of 2019. I am pleased to report we delivered a very solid start to 2019, with strong operating results from our diversified portfolio of high-quality assets.

In the first quarter of 2019, gold sales exceeded 115,000 ounces. This is the most gold we have ever sold in a single quarter, highlighting our growing gold segment in this business.

From a cash flow perspective, Wheaton generated over $150 million of operating cash flow and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per common share, in line with our minimum target set for 2019 by the Board of Directors.

In addition, we also saw one of our key growth projects advance, with Hudbay announcing the conclusion of the permitting process at Rosemont and the initiation of an early works program. With production potentially commencing as early as 2022, we are very excited for the future of Rosemont and its additional contribution to our growth profile.

With that, I'd like to turn the call over to Gary Brown, one of our Senior Vice Presidents and the Chief Financial Officer, who will provide more details on our results. Gary?

Gary Brown -- Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Thank you, Randy, and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. The company's precious metal interest produced 93,600 ounces of gold, 5.6 million ounces of silver, and 4,700 ounces of palladium in the first quarter of 2019.

Relative to the first quarter of the prior year, this represented an increase of 22% in gold production and a decrease of 24% in silver production, with the increase in gold production due primarily to the new streaming agreements relative to the San Dimas and Stillwater mines, coupled with higher production at Sudbury, partially offset by lower production at the other gold interests, including Minto which was placed into care and maintenance in October of 2018.

The decrease in silver production was primarily due to the termination of the San Dimas silver stream effective May 10, 2018, and the expiry of the streaming agreement relative to the Lagunas Norte, Veladero, and Pierina mines on March 31, 2018.

Sales volumes amounted to 115,000 ounces of gold, 4.3 million ounces of silver, and 5,200 ounces of palladium in the first quarter of 2019, representing an increase of 64% for gold and a decrease of 32% for silver relative to the first quarter of 2018.

The increase in gold sales volumes, which represented a record for the company, was due to the higher production levels, coupled with positive changes in the balance of payable gold produced but not yet delivered to Wheaton. The decrease in the silver sales volumes was attributable to the lower production levels coupled with negative changes in the balance of payable silver produced but not yet delivered.

As at March 31, 2019, approximately 51,500 payable gold ounces, 3.5 million payable silver ounces, and 4,800 payable palladium ounces had been produced but not yet delivered to the company, representing a decrease during the quarter of 25,500 payable gold ounces and 500 payable palladium ounces and an increase during the quarter of 400,000 payable silver ounces.

We estimate a normal level for ounces produced, but not delivered, to equate to approximately two to three months' worth of payable production for gold and palladium and two months' worth for silver, with the balances for gold at March 31 being slightly lower than this expectation, due to the significant deliveries of gold produced in Salobo in prior quarters during the first quarter of 2019.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2019 amounted to $225 million, representing a 13% increase relative to Q1 2018, primarily due to the increase in the number of gold ounces sold, partially offset by the decrease in silver sales volumes. Of this revenue, 67% was attributable to gold sales, 30% was attributable to silver sales, and 3% was attributable to palladium sales.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2019 increased 2% to $87 million, primarily due to the higher sales volume. Cash-based G&A expenses amounted to $15 million in the first quarter of 2019, representing an increase of $7 million from Q1 2018, with the increase being primarily related to increased accruals relative to the outstanding performance share units, or PSUs, during Q1 2019.

Interest costs for the first quarter of 2019 amounted to $13 million, resulting in an effective interest rate on outstanding debt of 4.28%, as compared to $6 million of interest costs at an effective interest rate of 3.12% incurred in Q1 2018.

Net earnings amounted to $57 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $68 million in Q1 2018, with the decrease being the result of higher interest and PSU expenses. Basic adjusted earnings per share decreased 19% to $0.13, compared to $0.16 per share in the prior year.

Operating cash flow the first quarter of 2019 amounted to $118 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to $125 million, or $0.28 per share in the prior year, representing a 4% decrease on a per share basis.

Based on the company's dividend policy, the company's Board has declared a dividend of $0.09 a share, payable to shareholders of record on May 24, 2019. Under the dividend reinvestment plan, the Board has elected to offer shareholders the option of having their dividends reinvested in newly issued common shares of the company at a 3% discount to market.

For 2019, the company continues to estimate that non-stock based G&A expenses, which exclude expenses relating to the value of stock options granted and PSUs, will amount to $34 million to $37 million.

The operational highlights for the first quarter of 2019 included the following. Salobo generated 60,800 ounces of attributable gold production in Q1 2019, consistent with Q1 2018 but significantly higher than expectations, primarily driven by higher gold grades. Gold sales volumes in Q1 2019 relative to Salobo increased 54% to 84,200 ounces, with the increase being attributable to the delivery of a significant amount of gold produced in prior periods.

Attributable gold production relative to the Sudbury mines increased 186% to 10,000 ounces, with Q1 2018 production having been negatively impacted by the temporary shutdown of the Coleman mine.

Attributable silver production relative to Peñasquito in Q1 2019 amounted to 1.6 million ounces, a 10% increase relative to Q1 2018 but below our expectations. The Pyrite Leach Project operated successfully throughout the quarter.

In April 2019, Newmont Mining Corporation and Goldcorp Inc. merged to form Newmont Goldcorp Corporation and has highlighted the focus on improving mill throughput and plant reliability at Peñasquito. On April 29, 2019, Newmont Goldcorp announced that it intended to temporarily suspend operations at the Peñasquito mine, pending resolution of a legal blockade.

During the first quarter of 2019, the company repaid $81 million of debt outstanding under the revolving facility. Overall, net cash increased by $50 million in Q1 2019, resulting in cash and cash equivalents, as at March 31, of $126 million. This combined with the $1.2 billion outstanding under the revolving facility resulted in a net debt position, as at March 31, of approximately $1.1 billion.

The company's cash position, strong forecast future operating cash flows, combined with available credit capacity under the revolving facility, positions the company well to satisfy its funding commitments, sustain its dividend policy, while at the same time providing flexibility to consummate additional accretive precious metal purchase agreements.

With that, I turn the call back over to Randy.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Gary. Our 2019 and long-term production guidance remains unchanged. We expect to produce 690,000 gold-equivalent ounces in 2019 and to average 750,000 gold-equivalent ounces annually over the next five years, inclusive of 2019. This strong organic growth over the next five years is mainly driven by the Peñasquito, Constancia, and Stillwater mines.

I would like to highlight that Wheaton currently does not include any production from Vale's Salobo III ongoing expansion or Hudbay's Rosemont project in its estimated average five-year production guidance, although we would expect both of these projects to begin contributing to our production toward the end of the five-year guidance period. Vale continues to advance the Salobo III, which represents a 50% increase in throughput capacity from our cornerstone asset. And as highlighted earlier, with the recent permitting progress, Hudbay is advancing Rosemont into development and ultimately production.

We continue to believe our organic growth profile is very strong. Even so, we remain busy on the corporate development front, pursuing opportunities that will complement our portfolio of high quality assets. Wheaton's sector-leading cash flow, coupled with the available credit under our $2 billion revolving facility, provides ample capacity for continued investments.

As always, we will continue to use a disciplined approach, with a focus on acquiring streams that are accretive to our current shareholders and come from high-quality assets producing in the lowest half of their respective cost curves.

In summary, the first quarter of 2019 has provided a solid start to the year. We believe our production remains founded on the highest quality portfolio of precious metal streams in the industry, underpinned by very low-cost mining operations such as Salobo, Antamina, and Peñasquito. And we look forward to our recent acquisition, Stillwater, contributing to a full year of both gold and palladium production.

So, with that, I would like to open up the call for questions. Operator?

Questions and Answers:

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now conduct the question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press "*1" on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, press "#". There will be a brief pause while we compile the Q&A roster.

Your first question comes from Cosmos Chiu with CIBC.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Good morning, Cosmos. Cosmos?

Cosmos Chiu -- CIBC -- Analyst

Hello. Can you hear me? Hello?

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Yes, I can.

Cosmos Chiu -- CIBC -- Analyst

Okay. So, I guess the first two questions I'm going to ask, I'm just trying to figure out how I should approach modeling Q2. So, maybe first off, on Salobo, clearly, as Gary had mentioned, it was a good Q1 from the perspective of Wheaton Precious Metals. But if we were to have looked at Vale's reporting yesterday, their copper concentrate was down 22% year-over-year, gold production as a company was down quarter-over-quarter. I'm just wondering is there usually a time lag between production at Salobo and when Wheaton Precious Metals would receive that payment and if we're going to see the lower grade come through, for example, in Q2 for Wheaton Precious Metals?

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

The only consistent pattern that we've ever seen with respect to production produced but not yet delivered is that, consistently across our entire portfolio, you usually see the fourth quarter squeeze up and tighten up. So, the fact that we have gained a bit here in the first quarter -- yes, that's tough to predict where that's going to go over the next while. We do know that Vale is continuing to advance on the construction side down there and push that project forward. Tough to sort of forecast where that runs.

I mean, the one advantage with the Salobo mine is that it's got a really good rapid connection to Tidewater. And so those concentrates do move out. We typically see -- on assets like that we typically guide for a two-month sort of lag time in terms of produced but not yet delivered. But it's going to fluctuate back and forth between sometimes one month and sometimes three months. And now we're down closer to the month. So, it remains to be seen. I mean, we haven't seen any consistent patterns other than, as I said, typically our fourth quarter is usually where it gets squeezed a little bit tighter and so seeing a bit of a gain in the first quarter was a nice pleasant surprise.

Patrick Drouin -- Senior Vice President of Investor Relations

Cosmos, this is Patrick as well.

Cosmos Chiu -- CIBC -- Analyst

Hi, Patrick.

Patrick Drouin -- Senior Vice President of Investor Relations

Hi, Cosmos.

Cosmos Chiu -- CIBC -- Analyst

Yeah, my question, Patrick, was more, I guess, on the 61,000 ounces that was produced in Q1 2019 and that was pretty consistent with Q1 2018 for Wheaton Precious Metals. I'm just trying to figure out that disconnect between Vale's reporting and what you've kind of received.

Patrick Drouin -- Senior Vice President of Investor Relations

Yeah, no, let's talk production first. You did see, actually, a stronger Q1 production than what we were forecasting. They actually had better weather down in Brazil which allowed them to do more run-of-mine processing of the material they were processing and not having to pull from the lower-grade stockpiles. You can imagine when you get to really wet weather down in Brazil, it's hard to get into the pit and consistently mine run-of-mine materials. So, this was a good quarter.

And if you look at the concentrate, copper concentrate production from Salobo alone, not from all their operations, which includes Sossego and others, it was only down about 6% to 6.5%. So, not the 22% I think you referenced. So, copper production was a little bit lighter but even better than what Vale was looking for. So, it was actually quite a good quarter for Salobo from what we see. Actually, the production was better on the gold front because we did see better recoveries of gold in the processing plant. So, that's why we were flat in our production year-over-year versus Vale being down, again, just over 6%.

On a go-forward basis, as I think we tried to allude to, we did see a 20,000 ounce-plus drawdown in produced but not yet delivered inventories. We would not expect to see another drawdown of that magnitude by any means. They are getting down to around a one-month level of inventory. We would think, to be conservative, you want to at least keep that flat. So, production and sales should be fairly -- closer to being equal while adjusting for payable rates as well in Q2. So, again, we're not looking for a big beat. You get these inventory draws occasionally and you could even see a slight inventory build going forward.

Cosmos Chiu -- CIBC -- Analyst

And going back to Randy's explanation, I think I know these inventory drawdowns pretty well but could you confirm or remind me once again? Just based on the timing of the sales at Salobo, it's not up to the discretion of Wheaton Precious Metals, it's really driven by the producer.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

It totally is. We don't carry anything over at quarter-end if we can help it. If it gets delivered to us, it gets sold. So, it really comes down to the timing of shipments from the asset itself and then when it actually hits the smelters.

Cosmos Chiu -- CIBC -- Analyst

Of course. And then maybe turning to Peñasquito here. I guess my first question is on the production, silver production, was pretty good in Q1 2019. From the literature coming from the producer and certainly from Wheaton Precious Metals and some of the other royalty companies as well, I think Peñasquito has seen some lower grades but I want to confirm. I think the lower grades are only for the gold production. Silver production isn't impacted. Is that still the case?

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Yeah. The model has some of the highest silver grades of the entire deposit being mined over the next few years. They're gradually moving into this. It's been pretty well-telegraphed that they're having some challenges with harder rock than expected, a little bit more sedimentary rock than what they expected, and so it's having an impact on some of the throughput. But the model, the highest silver grades of that entire deposit are expected over the next couple of years from that -- I think it's the southwest corner of the Peñasquito pit. And so we'll see.

Cosmos Chiu -- CIBC -- Analyst

Yeah. And following up on Peñasquito here, again, what's the usual time lag between production at Peñasquito and contribution to Wheaton Precious Metals? I guess there is this ongoing temporary suspension at Peñasquito. I'm just wondering, for example, if it goes on for another 10-15 days, is it going to impact Wheaton Precious Metals in Q2 or is it more so in Q3?

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

I mean, we will see some impact in Q2 because, again, the concentrate -- most of our production at Peñasquito comes from concentrates, base metal concentrates that are being shipped off. And so it deals with a similar sort of timeline that Salobo does with their copper concentrates. Peñasquito with its lead and zinc concentrates, we have to deal with those same type of delays. And so, again, the guidance I would say is about a two- to three-month lag.

So, there will be a bit of an impact on Q2. We're hopeful that Newmont Goldcorp gets the issue resolved. We're supportive in terms of the approach they're taking and do hope that they're successful in finally resolving this. It seems to be an issue that happens on a regular basis down there. And so they're trying to do their best to try and stop it from happening on a regular basis.

Cosmos Chiu -- CIBC -- Analyst

Of course. Maybe, I guess, switching gears a little bit here on Rosemont. The receipt of the water permit is certainly positive, very positive for both Hudbay and Wheaton Precious Metals. Could you remind me, in terms of the $230 million funding, the timing of that funding and how that potentially coincides with the need to fund Salobo III? I know they haven't really talked about Salobo III of late but I'm just wondering if there is any overlap.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

We wouldn't expect it. So, funding, I mean, if everything goes forward, Hudbay has still got some work to do before they totally commit toward funding it. But our expectations are that our first tranche of the $230 million will be by the end of this year. The first step is a $50 million payment once they commence work. It does kick-start a timeline in terms of having to deliver it. And so we did renegotiate that deal recently with Hudbay.

That gives our shareholders -- we advance our money a little bit earlier in the process, but we also get a little bit more protection in the event of delays. We get compensation for that. So, we felt the benefits were worth putting our money in a little bit early. So, we would expect that first tranche before the end of this year. That would be $50 million. And we would expect the rest of it to be paid sometime next year, assuming construction is going on a full-forward basis.

With respect to Salobo III, our funding for that happens after they satisfy a completion test. And that completion test is a 90-day test that would happen once they have that third phase up and running. Now, if we look at the first two phases that were built down at Salobo, those things typically take about 12-18 months to get up to full production, to ramp up to full production levels.

Their internal targets have Salobo III processing first ores early in 2022. And so our expectations are that any funding from our side toward that Salobo III expansion wouldn't happen until 2023, just in the sense of them ramping that up to full production and then having to run for a 90-day, a full quarter essentially of operations, to show what production levels they can achieve and so on. And so that's a long ways out before we have to deal with the Salobo III, any expansion payments relative to Salobo III.

Cosmos Chiu -- CIBC -- Analyst

Great. Thanks again, Randy, Gary, and Patrick and team. Those are all the questions I have. Thanks again.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Cosmos.

Operator

Again, if you would like to ask a question, please press "*1" on your telephone keypad. Your next question comes from Ralph Profiti with Eight Capital. Please go ahead.

Ralph Profiti -- Eight Capital -- Analyst

Thanks, Operator. Good morning. Randy, I want to just talk a little bit about the Rosemont amendment, if I may. You just mentioned this timeline to deliver. Should we be thinking about that in terms of time, throughput level, or, say, percentage of construction? How do we think about those delay payments potentially being active?

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

It's based on time. Once they kick-start production and sort of trigger the first payment from us, it initiates a timeline that says that they have to have it up and running and satisfy the completion test by a certain point in time. And as long as they do that-- if it's for some reason delayed beyond that, we get compensated for those delays.

Ralph Profiti -- Eight Capital -- Analyst

Okay. Are you able to disclose what that time is or is that confidential?

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

I think it's 30 months -- 2.5 years. I'm looking around here and everyone is nodding yes. So, it's 2.5 years from the point that they accept first payment on our side. And given that the timing forecasts, in terms of construction, are estimated to be around a two-year period, maybe a little bit more than two years, the fact that we give them 2.5 years, plenty of capacity.

Ralph Profiti -- Eight Capital -- Analyst

Okay. Okay. And I just want to touch on another aspect of the agreement. This financing condition that is out there, is that going to come out at the MOU basis or when there's a letter of intent or do you actually need the financing to be closed when that payment comes due? The timing difference, depending on how the negotiation is going and how long it takes.

Gary Brown -- Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

The condition is satisfied with us being comfortable that Hudbay has sufficient resources to complete Rosemont. So, undoubtedly, Hudbay will be relying partially upon cash flows from operations. They will need to satisfy us that we can rely on those, in combination with other sources of capital that will need to be available to them at the time that we advance the remainder.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

So, I think with respect to the potential for a joint venture partner there, it's dependent on our comfort level with respect to where that stands. It's not defined by any point in those discussions. It's with respect to how comfortable we are with that, with whatever stage that's at.

Ralph Profiti -- Eight Capital -- Analyst

Right. And so, Randy, does that mean that that comfort level could perhaps be a function of the actual partner that they do wind up bringing in?

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Of course, yes.

Ralph Profiti -- Eight Capital -- Analyst

Okay. Okay. Thanks very much.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Ralph.

Operator

Your next question comes from Charles Gibson with Edison. Please go ahead.

Charles Gibson -- Edison Investment Research -- Analyst

Thank you very much. Morning, Randy, and congratulations, if I may. I'm not sure but I think that Cosmos probably asked all of my questions. One additional question I did have though was just -- it's a slightly technical housekeeping question, I suppose. But I noticed the depletion charge in dollars per ounce fell quite sharply, particularly your gold and silver other assets, and I just wondered what underlay that or if it's just the joys of accounting?

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Gary is having a look right now.

Charles Gibson -- Edison Investment Research -- Analyst

I'll put it down to the joys of accounting.

Gary Brown -- Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

It's going to be a combination of things, Charles. But the biggest one will be just the mix of assets that we're deriving sales from. So, you'll see in our MD&A, we disclosed what the depletion charge is on a per ounce basis. It has decreased in a number of cases and that's going to be a function of conversion of resources to reserves and the impact that that has on lowering -- generally, that will lower the depletion charge. But I think the bigger effect is just the sales mix. So, deriving sales from assets that have lower depletion charges this quarter versus Q1 of 2018.

Charles Gibson -- Edison Investment Research -- Analyst

I'm with you. Excellent, all right. Lovely. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Charles.

Your next question comes from Carey MacRury with Canaccord Genuity. Please go ahead.

Carey MacRury -- Canaccord Genuity -- Analyst

Hi. Good morning. Just a question on the CRA. I know you settled late last year. Just wondering are all the final amounts owing finally settled and is it officially closed now?

Gary Brown -- Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Hi, Carey, it's Gary. We're still working through those housekeeping items. We did make a payment in Q1 2019 of just under $4 million, on account of the taxes that we believe arrives from the settlement from 2011 to 2017, to stop any interest accruing on those balances. But we're still waiting for notices of reassessment from the CRA for 2005 to '10 and the application of the agreement to subsequent years. We're working through the refiling of those agreements and that will take some time. We would expect that the notices of reassessment related to 2005 to '10 will be issued in Q2 at some point.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

So, to sum it up, we're still waiting for some final paperwork from the other side but we've made the tax payment to reflect the settlement.

Carey MacRury -- Canaccord Genuity -- Analyst

Great. Thank you.

Randy Smallwood -- President and Chief Executive Officer

Well, thank you, everyone, for dialing in today. To sum up, we believe Wheaton is well-positioned to continue to deliver value to our shareholders for a number of different reasons: 1) by having low and predictable costs that result in not only some of the highest margins in the entire precious metal space but also sector-leading operating cash flows; 2) through our steady organic growth profile over the next few years and a proven track record of accretive quality acquisitions; 3) by offering our shareholders exposure to some of the best mines in the world, through our high-quality portfolio of long-life, low-cost assets; and 4) by being a leader among precious metal streamers and supporting our partners and the communities in which we live and operate.

I do look forward to speaking with you all again soon. Thank you.
