* Despite record production at Gora, the royalty income was only double the prior quarter despite having 5.5 times the amount of gold mined. This is again delayed due to TGZ being able to safely sell the gold and get paid from it.
Q1 2018 – Estimate From Teranga Gold Payment Announced May 3rd
Gold Ounces Mined At Gora: 58,384 – From TGZ MD&A
Royalty Income From TGZ MD&A (1.5% Of Gora Sales): $500,000 as per TGZ financial results.
Teranga Gold May 2018 corporate presentation clearly states on page 18 that 22,500 ounces are to be sold to Franco Nevada. Well this is only a fraction of what was produced which again confirms that payments to Axmin are deferred to upcoming quarters which should be reflected in the receivables.
118,971 ounces of gold were mined between Q4 2017 and Q1 2018 at Gora. Lets use basic gold numbers such as $1,300 per ounce(lower than the last 6 months) and see what we should be getting:
118,971 ounces X $1,300 gold price = $154,662,300 (if all gold was sold)
$154,662,300 X 0.015% (Axmin royalty) = $2,319,935. Keep in mind that gold is higher than $1,300 so the royalty should be a bit more
What was paid in Q4 2017 and announced for Q1 2018: $614,723 + $500,000 = $1,114,723
So Axmin is still owed a lot more money and this will likely be paid between Q2-Q4 this year.
