Driving the Company's January growth was the addition of Kori
One and organic growth of deliveries to Chala One which increased
by 103% YOY. The improvements at Chala One are significant as the
slowest production time of the year for the small-scale mining
sector is during the first quarter due to the rainy season.
Edward Kelly, President, and CEO
commented, "I am pleased the Company's operations continue to
progress consistently as we realized increases across the spectrum
from our yearly 2018 averages in terms of production, throughput
and deliveries. We have entered calendar 2019 on a strong note
and look forward to our most productive year yet."
