Mr. Dale Ginn, Chief Executive Officer reports record third quarter revenue of $8,844,634 and first ever operating profit.
The Company transitioned to commercial production in its accounting for activities at the Hinge mine this quarter. In part this was responsible for the net income from operations of $0.2 MM - this is the first time the Company has reported operating income which is a significant milestone for the Company and is the beginning of what management expects will be improved performance in the future. The increased level of Gold in process inventory of $7.5 MM compared to $4.7 MM at December 31, 2008 and $3.0 MM at the same time last year is a result of the increasing level of production activity through the period. The Company has 4,484 ounces of salable gold in inventory that was shipped in the period immediately subsequent so will be recorded as part of Q4 revenue.
