TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Gran Colombia Gold Corp. (TSX:GCM)
announced today the release of its unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying management’s
discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2017.
All financial figures contained herein are expressed in U.S. dollars
(“USD”) unless otherwise noted.
http://www.grancolombiagold.com/news-and-investors/press-releases/press-release-details/2017/Gran-Colombia-Gold-Reports-Third-Quarter-2017-Results-Raises-2017-Production-Guidance/default.aspx
Lombardo Paredes Arenas, Chief Executive Officer of Gran Colombia,
commenting on the Company’s results for the first nine months of 2017,
said,
“In the third quarter we faced some adversity as we dealt with the
challenges of the 42-day civil disruption in Segovia.
While our third quarter results were adversely impacted by the work
slowdown, we demonstrated our resiliency once operations returned to
normal in early September, rebounding with two of our best production
months this year.
We have since signed some new contracts with small mining cooperatives
in Segovia and negotiations are continuing with the rest.
We now believe our 2017 gold production will total between 165,000 to
170,000 ounces.”
Third Quarter and First Half 2017 Highlights
Gran Colombia has raised its annual gold production guidance for 2017 to
a range from 165,000 to 170,000 ounces from the previous guidance of
150,000 to 160,000 ounces.
Although gold production in the third quarter of 2017 of 37,039 ounces
was down 5% from the third quarter last year due to the impact of the
42-day civil disruption on the Segovia Operations, year-to-date gold
production of 122,122 ounces is up 12% over the first nine months of
2016.
With a further 16,995 ounces produced in October 2017, the trailing 12-
months’ total gold production as of the end of October 2017 stands at
166,995 ounces, up 11% over 2016’s annual production.
Revenue has been positively impacted this year by the increased level of
gold production compared with last year and is up 8% in the first nine
months of 2017 to $144.4 million.
Gold sales volume in the third quarter of 2017, adversely impacted by the
civil disruption at Segovia, and 4% lower spot gold prices in the third
quarter of 2017 compared with the third quarter last year, contributed
to a 17% year-over-year decline in third quarter revenue to $42.7
million in 2017.
With Segovia’s operations back to normal and spot gold prices in October
and the first half of November generally above $1,270 per ounce, Gran
Colombia is expecting stronger revenue performance in the fourth quarter
of 2017.
Gran Colombia’s total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”)
averaged $748 per ounce and $970 per ounce, respectively, in the third
quarter of 2017, reflecting the adverse impact of the reduced level of
production on fixed costs and capital spending on a per ounce basis.
This brings the average total cash costs and AISC for the first nine
months of 2017 to $720 per ounce and $927 per ounce, respectively,
compared with $699 per ounce and $832 per ounce, respectively, in the
first nine months of 2016.
Gran Colombia continues to expect that its total cash costs and AISC
averages for the full year will remain below $720 and about $900 per
ounce sold, respectively.
See the Company’s MD&A for the computation of these non-IFRS measures.
Gran Colombia’s trailing 12-months’ adjusted EBITDA stood at
$65.1 million at the end of September 2017.
Although adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2017 was adversely
impacted by the factors that affected revenue and
total cash costs per ounce as outlined above, declining to
$13.8 million compared with $19.7 million in the third quarter last
year, the Company’s adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2017
totaled $48.7 million compared with $49.6 million for the first nine
months last year.
See the Company’s MD&A for the computation of this non-IFRS measure.
The Company generated $2.3 million of Excess Cash Flow (see the Company’s
MD&A for the computation in accordance with the indentures for the
Senior Debentures) in the third quarter of 2017, bringing the total for
the first nine months of 2017 to $7.8 million.
Gran Colombia continues to expect to reach its guidance of $16 million of
Excess Cash Flow for the full year in 2017.
Gran Colombia continued to execute its strategy in the third quarter of
2017 to reduce its Senior Debentures ahead of maturity with its Excess
Cash Flow, repurchasing and cancelling an additional $0.7 million of
2020 Debentures at a discount under its Normal Course Issuer Bid
(“NCIB”) and completing a $3.0 million partial redemption at par of the
2020 Debentures on July 31, 2017.
Gran Colombia reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2017 of
$1.0 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with net income of
$8.1 million, or $0.52 per share, in the third quarter last year,
primarily reflecting the reduction in adjusted EBITDA compared with the
third quarter last year.
For the first nine months of 2017, net income was $34.3 million, or $1.70
per share, including a $35.5 million after-tax reversal ($1.76 per
share) of impairment related to the Segovia Operations.
Net income for the first nine months of 2016 was $19.0 million, or
$1.82 per share, including a $14.1 million after-tax gain
($1.35 per share) on financial instruments.
Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $3.8 million,
or $0.19 per share, down from $8.1 million, or $0.52 per share,
in the third quarter last year, principally due to the lower adjusted
EBITDA offset partially by a reduction in adjusted income taxes.
For the first nine months of 2017, adjusted net income amounted to $11.0
million, or $0.55 per share, compared with $12.2 million, or
$1.17 per share, in the first nine months last year.
See the reconciliation in the Company’s MD&A for the computation of this
non-IFRS measure.
On October 4, 2017, Gran Colombia announced an updated Mineral Resource
Estimate for its Marmato Project, shifting focus for potential future
development from the previous open pit concept, and increasing cut-off
grades in anticipation of developing an expanded underground mining
operation.
Measured and Indicated Resources consist of 3.9 million ounces of gold
and Inferred Resources are 4.2 million ounces of gold.
In 2018, Gran Colombia intends to proceed with a preliminary economic
assessment for the Marmato Project and to perform additional drilling on
the deep mineralization to understand the deposit’s total mineral
potential.
