On the positive side > cash position of $10.4 million
- The Company's cash position of $10.4 million at September 30, 2015 improved in October 2015 by a C$6.0 million private placement of common shares and warrants with Goldcorp Inc. and by sales of 8,178 ounces of gold. The Company has a $10.2 million loan facility maturing on December 31, 2015, and the Company is negotiating with the lender to extend the maturity date over fiscal 2016.
- The Company produced and sold 23,387 ounces of gold, compared to 26,671 during Q3 2014. The change from prior year is primarily due to the grade of the ore stacked during the preceding quarter (0.53 g/t during Q2 2015 versus 0.64 g/t during Q2 2014).
- The Company's cash cost per ounce on a by-product basis was $1,026 (all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce on a by-product basis - $1,105), compared to $856 (all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce on a by-product basis - $994) during Q3 2014. This increase in cash costs is primarily driven by the higher amount of waste tonnes being costed to inventory due to the higher strip areas within the pit phases being mined during the current quarter.
