Revenue for the first quarter was $48.7 million compared to $47.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily due to more favourable exchange rates partially offset by lower payable metals sales at lower realized prices for all metals except palladium. During the first quarter, the Company realized a palladium selling price of US$739 per ounce.
Net loss for the quarter was $26.7 million or $0.11 per share compared to a net loss of $2.8 million or $0.02 per share in the same quarter last year. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to the impact of increased foreign exchange losses, depreciation and interest expenses, partially offset by decreased exploration expenses.
