February's growth is not only attributable to the acquisition of
Kori One, but also due to continued strong supply of gold bearing
material to both Chala One and Kori One plants. This is notable as
the rainy season continued well into the month of February.
Edward Kelly, President, and CEO
commented, "February is in the books as our strongest February to
date, despite battling the Peruvian rainy season. Having now
entered the final quarter of fiscal 2019, thanks to our team's
efforts, we look forward to continued growth in production, fueled
by this past years' acquisition of the Kori One milling
facility."
