The Company is currently producing from the open-pit and underground at the Golden Chest. In addition, during 2017, production generated cash flow from operations of $337,619, cash flow generated from operations in 2018 was negative $1,415,136 as a result of lower grade ores from the open pit and irregular underground production however open pit grade is expected to improve in 2019 along with increased production from underground operations. The Company’s working capital position has improved approximately $533,000 from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. 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, common stock and warrants sales of $1,391,000 in 2017 and $1,206,856 in 2018 as well as selling a mineral property in 2018 for $3,000,000. The Company has utilized the proceeds for equipment purchases, to reduce debt, and ramp up the underground production.

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.
