The Company is currently producing from the open-pit at the Golden Chest Mine and began underground operations in early November 2017. In addition, during 2017, production has generated cash flow from operations of $337,619 and the Company’s working capital position has improved approximately $1.3 million from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017. 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 common stock and warrants sales of $1,391,000 in 2017. The Company has utilized the proceeds for equipment purchase, to reduce debt, and pay off the remaining note balance on the Golden Chest Mine project.

 

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