Expert Comments: Michael Fowler, Loewen, Ondaatje & McCutcheon (8/15/13) "St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. reported quarterly production was up 10% and total cash costs per ounce were down 2.4% year-on-year. . .the company only recorded a small $0.3M free cash-flow outlay in the quarter, which was a very good achievement considering the dramatic fall in the price of gold. Even more positive is that capital expenditures in 2013 are H1 loaded and H2 should see $5.4M lower outlays. . .the company maintains a strong balance sheet and is one of the best among the junior producers; the cash position stands at $31.5M, working capital of $26.5M and an unused line of credit of $10M."
Christos Doulis, Stonecap Securities (8/15/13) "St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. hosted a conference call following the release of its Q2/13 financial results. . .total production in the quarter was 25,353 oz Au at a total cash cost (including royalties) of $897/oz Au, down from $939/oz Au in Q1/13. . .cash at quarter end was ~$31.5M. . .providing St. Andrew with plenty of balance sheet flexibility. . .St. Andrew has delivered another solid quarter of results in-line with our expectations.
