Brookmount Gold Announces Significant Operational Progress in Indonesia
Reno, Nevada, Jan. 29, 2025 – Brookmount Gold (sic. Brookmount Explorations Inc.) (OTC:
BMXI), a gold exploration and production company, provides an update on the transition and
progress achieved since the official handover earlier this month, at our Indonesia mining
operations. With key changes implemented, the company is on track to enhance productivity and
operational efficiency, while setting the foundation for long-term growth.
Key Updates from On-Site Activities
Mining Operations: Workforce Transition and Optimization: A new contract structure has been
negotiated with 50 workers now in place. Compensation for mineshaft workers has been
simplified to 100,000 Rupiah (US$6.50) per ore bag per worker, replacing the previous profit-
sharing model, which will result in significant cost saving.
Leadership Appointments: A new project manager and shift manager have been appointed,
bringing the operating/management team to seven, at a combined salary of A$5,000 per month
Safety Enhancements: Comprehensive safety protocols have been introduced, including PPE
(hard hats, gloves, boots, and goggles) and shift briefings focused on ore targets, safety
advisories, and feedback.Improved Communication & Monitoring: CCTV systems and two-way radios have been
installed at shaft sites to improve communication and oversight.
Production Update: Mining has commenced, as a test run, at one of our site locations (40-meter
depth), producing 150 bags (7,500 tonnes) of ore in 4 shifts over two days of mining. Initial
results from the test run yielded 200 grams of gold dore, indicating an average grade exceeding 1
gram per bag or 20 grams/tonne;
Expansion Plans: The company plans to deploy two additional hydraulic drills to double
production capacity, compared to using jackhammers, and to improve efficiency.
Processing Enhancements: Ore crushing efficiency is being evaluated with plans to install an
onsite pre-crusher next month, reducing processing time significantly. Existing processing tanks
have sufficient capacity (135 tonnes) to support the target ore throughput of 500 bags/day by
June, yielding 0.5kg of gold dore (approx. 250g of pure gold). Additional ball mills will be
installed in a covered, concreted area to support expanded processing.
Capital Requirements: To support these advancements, Brookmount Gold plans to allocate
initial funding of US$50,000 next week for the immediate purchase of two hydraulic drills and a
sinking fund to cover an onsite crusher. One drill has already been received by the local
distributor and could be in service immediately, a 2nd unit most likely by the following week.
As of December 2, 2024, full operational control was achieved in Indonesia, securing 100% of
cash flow from operations,” stated Nils Ollquist, CEO of Brookmount Gold. “Under the previous
investment agreement, retained cash from unallocated earnings was reinvested, by the joint
venture partner, into expanding gold reserves, upgrading operational assets, and other
applications. This transition ensures the free cross-border flow of cash generated fromoperations, strengthening our funding structure, reducing reliance on external financing, and
minimizing potential dilution for our shareholders. It positions Brookmount Gold to focus on
long-term growth and delivering enhanced value to stakeholders.
“The significant operational progress following the January handover of the Indonesian
operation has placed Brookmount Gold on a clear path to success and growth,” continued Nils
Ollquist, CEO of Brookmount Gold. “This progress aligns with and supports our long-term
strategy of strengthening our operational efficiency, expanding reserves, and maximizing
shareholder value. With this solid foundation, we are well-positioned to deliver sustainable
growth in the years to come.”
What this means for investors.
The recent operational improvements represent a transformative step in Brookmount Gold's
growth strategy. By securing control of 100% of the cash flow generated from operations, the
company is now positioned to reinvest in expanding production capacity, upgrading
infrastructure, and maximizing operational efficiency.
A key aspect of this transition is the establishment of free cross-border flow of funds from
operations. This allows Brookmount Gold to seamlessly transfer earnings from its Indonesian
operations to support global corporate initiatives, enhance liquidity, and fund growth
opportunities across other strategic areas. It ensures greater financial flexibility and efficiency,
which ultimately strengthens the company’s ability to execute on its long-term plans.
For investors, these advancements translate to a stronger financial foundation, reduced reliance
on external financing, minimized dilution risks, and a clearer path to long-term shareholder
value. Brookmount Gold remains committed to transparency and operational excellence as it
continues to unlock the full potential of its Indonesia mining operations.About Brookmount Gold
