First Quarter 2021 Highlights
- Produced 5,600 ounces of gold at Mupane and sold its gold at an
average sales price of $1,771 per ounce.
- Earnings from mining operations for the period of
$890,559.
- Positive cash flows from operating activities of
$2,027,644.
- Capitalised $1,124,492 of concentrate sales produced by
Galaxy.
- $1,615,208 of debt repaid.
Galane Gold CEO Nick Brodie commented: “At
Mupane production was not at the level we had hoped for in the
first quarter. This was due to unseasonably high rainfalls which
flooded the lower levels of the Tau underground and constrained
production. In addition, we experienced inconsistent power supply,
again caused by the high rainfall, which resulted in the failure of
the main incoming transformer. These challenges have also affected
the start of the next quarter but we are confident that we can make
up for the majority of the lost production as we go forward.
(1)
The hard work at the Galaxy project is now
coming to fruition and we are seeing a significant increase in
monthly production. The ounces produced in April exceeded those
produced in the first quarter at Galaxy. We should see a
significant increase in production as we start to mine the Galaxy
ore body.(1)
Work has now commenced on Summit in earnest now
that we have closed the acquisition. We have started work on the
plans and requirements to recommence production as soon as
possible.”
