Interim Results and Trading Update
Interim Results
Wishbone Gold Plc (the Company) has pleasure in announcing the
interim results for the group to 30(th) June 2016. We remind
shareholders that these are unaudited and based only on management
accounts. The highlights are set out below.
These results include Precious Metals International Ltd and
Black Sand FZE for the first time from the acquisition date of
4(th) February 2016.
The Company raised funding for the gold trading to commence at
the beginning of June, therefore no gold trading results are
included in these results.
Trading Update
Black Sand FZE has now signed supply agreements with companies
in Peru, Ghana, Chile and Colombia. It normally takes around three
to four months to integrate a company into the supply chain because
gold trading is a highly regulated business and in the Wishbone
group we are insistent that the entire supply chain complies with
OECD guidelines on precious metals trading.
Currently we are shipping gold from Ghana and Peru. We are on
track to meet our year end target of shipping 100 kilos per week.
In addition the Company has contracts under negotiation for further
suppliers in the above and other countries.
Proactive Investors One2One Presentation
Chairman and CEO, Richard Poulden will be presenting at the
Proactive Investors One2One Forum at 1900 on the 8th September at
the Chesterfield Hotel, Mayfair, London.
