Galane Gold Ltd. Releases Financial and Operating Results for Q1 2020
22 May 2020 - 10:00PM
Galane Gold Ltd. (“Galane Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: GG;
OTCQB: GGGOF) is pleased to announce the release of its financial
results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
A copy of the unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31,
2020 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards and the corresponding Management’s Discussion and
Analysis are available under the Company’s profile on
www.sedar.com. All references to “$” in this press release refer to
United States dollars.
First Quarter 2020
Highlights
- Produced 6,818 ounces of gold at Mupane and sold its gold at an
average sales price of $1,552 per ounce.
- Earnings for the period of $1,659,756.
- Positive cash flows from operating activities, before working
capital, of $1,449,765.
- Produced 952 ounces of contained gold in concentrate at
Galaxy.
Galane Gold CEO, Nick Brodie commented: “A good
result despite the restrictions we encountered at the quarter end
due to COVID-19. At the quarter end we had 1,335 ounces of gold
unsold due to transportation constraints related to COVID-19. This
gold has now been sold and if it had been sold in the normal course
our earnings would have improved by a further $1.2 million and
positive cash flows increased by $2.3 million.
While we continue to face challenges related to
COVID-19 restrictions we are confident that we have put in place
sufficient procedures and policies to continue operate safely in
both Botswana and South Africa and continue advancing our
operations. We believe that decisions made by the Company
during the years of lower gold prices to utilise debt where we
could to advance our operations and minimise dilution of our equity
are now proving to be sound as we see the benefits of higher gold
prices just as our production profile is increasing.”
