David Top's questions to GOLD RESOURCE (GORO) leadership • Q3 2023
Question
Asked a wide range of questions covering the company's working capital, near-term profitability, future ore grades, potential of other properties, status of investments like Maritime and Green Light, the one-year plan, and the financing/permitting strategy for the Back Forty Project.
Answer
The executive stated working capital is adequate, and while profitability is subject to market conditions, higher ore grades are expected starting in Q4 2023. The focus for the next year is on making the Don David Mine cash-flow positive to rebuild reserves, with minimal spending on other projects. The Back Forty project is not financeable at the current market cap, which is the primary driver for exploring strategic alternatives like a merger. This strategic review is happening in parallel with, and not distracting from, the operational focus on the Don David Mine.
