BISSETT, MB, Nov. 12 /CNW/ - (TSX:SGR - OTCQX:SGRCF) San Gold Corporation announces the release of its third quarter financial statements and related management discussion and analysis.
The Company recognized revenue of $13.881 million for the quarter and $40.476 MM for the year to date. The result is a net profit from operations of $4.1 MM for the quarter and a loss of $0.3 MM for the year to date. The comparative quarter in the same period last year showed an operating loss of $6.9 MM and $10.9 MM for the prior YTD. The comprehensive loss from operations for the quarter was $4.6 MM for the quarter and $12.9 MM for the YTD in comparison to a loss of $5.0 MM in the same quarter of the prior year and $24.3 MM for the prior YTD.
"This operating profit of $4.1 MM marks an important milestone for San Gold which, along with the significant financing in August and the TSX listing in October, have served to place San Gold in a strong financial position. We look forward to continuing our aggressive exploration and development programs and production ramp-up," says San Gold CEO Dale Ginn.
San Gold achieved a quarterly record of 71,463 tons mined during the quarter or 776 tons per day and milled a record 75,263 tons of ore or the equivalent of 818 tons. The Company also completed 1,600 feet of ramp development.
The Company closed a short form prospectus financing that saw the issuance of 21,133,100 common shares. This resulted in net proceeds of $79.9 million. The company ended the quarter with $100.7 million in Current Assets.
In September, San Gold released an updated technical report that consolidated its Rice Lake Resources in a single document.
Also in the subsequent period, San Gold received final approval for the listing of the Corporation's shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). Shares commenced trading on the TSX on Oct. 20.
