Reno NV: Dec.27 2023.- Brookmount Gold (Brookmount Explorations Inc.) (OTC:BMXI), а leading gold exploration and development company, today announced its financial results for 2023.
Revenue for the 12 months reached $17.062 million, an increase of approximately 4.3% over the corresponding result in 2022 of $16.356 million. Revenue was comprised principally of direct sales of gold (85%) together with subcontracting revenue derived from The Company processing ore mined by third parties in the Talawaan gold area (15%).
Net income for 2023 was $8.958 million, representing an increase of 19.4% over the prior year result of $7.498 million, primarily reflecting a reduction in overhead costs, engineered by management, togther with reduced tax liability arising from the cooperative joint venture structure of the Company's operations.
"We are pleased to report that The Company has continued the positive trend of performance of the past 2 years", commented Nils Ollquist, CEO of Brookmount Gold. "In spite of a relatively modest increase in net revenue, The Company increased net earnings by almost 20%, primarily as a result of sustained efforts to reduce overhead costs, together with reduced tax liability." Mr Ollquist continued: "Our focus over the past 2 years has been to develop and nurture our operations at our Talawaan site. To this end we have initiated a comprehensive drilling program to offset progressive depletion of certain high yield gold reefs on our property. As a result of this drilling program, additional "hot spots" on the property with yields over 4 g/tonne have been tagged to be exploited in Q1 2024 and should result in higher output for the ensuing quarters. In addition, 2024 will finally see us resume activities at the heap leaching operation at Alason which have been suspended since 2020 and the onset of the COVID Pandemic. In Indonesia, we are also looking at acquiring additional assets in West Sulawesi". Mr Ollquist concluded: "In recent months, the global political situation has been impacted by wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, fears of conflict over the continuing independence of Taiwan and significant increases in global inflation rates. Partly as a reflection of these trends, the price of gold has recently been increasing steadily and is now pushing $2,070/oz. The Company will continue to make every effort to increase its production rates and expand its producing gold assets to take advantage of this trend. Management will also arrange an investor conference call in January to discuss its financial results in more detail, update our stakeholders on significant strategic initiatives and, given the recent completion of the 2023 financial year, finalization of the ongoing audit process."
