The Company’s cash flow is directly related to revenues generated from production and milling activities. The Company has experienced operating losses and negative operating cash flows prior to and during the ramp up of production activities at the Golden Chest Mine. In addition to cash flow from operations, ongoing operations are dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain public equity financing by the issuance of capital and to generate profitable operations in the future.

 

The Company is currently producing from the open-pit at the Golden Chest Mine and preparing to begin production underground, which is expected in the second half of 2017. In addition, during the first half of 2017, production has generated positive cash flow of $10,623 and planned production for the next 18 months indicates the trend to improve. The Company has also been successful in raising required capital to commence production and fund ongoing operations, completing a forward gold sale of $1.2 million in 2016 and closing private placements of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2017. A debt restructuring to longer term is also being considered for the mineral property note payable on which $375,000 in payable in the next twelve months.

 

As a result of its planned production, equity sales and ability to restructure debt, management believes cash flows from operations and existing cash are sufficient to conduct planned operations and meet contractual obligations for the next 12 months.
