Tim Warman, Fiore’s CEO commented, “With another record quarter for gold production, and completely unhedged sales, Pan is demonstrating its true cash flow generation potential and providing our investors with full exposure to the strong gold price. Our cash balance increased by $8.2 million in the quarter while at the same time we continued investing in exploration and study work at both Pan and Gold Rock. Our cash and net working capital position, combined with no corporate debt, put us in a strong position to advance the resource expansion drilling and metallurgical work required to support the Gold Rock Feasibility Study. We are also pleased to have concluded an extensive drill program at Pan during the quarter. The 71,505 feet of drilling will support an updated Resource & Reserve estimate and related Life of Mine plan in H2 2020. We continue to work aggressively toward our goal of operating Pan and Gold Rock in unison, providing organic growth to annual gold production of more than 100,000 ounces in Nevada.”
