Quarterly report
Metalstech made some solid steps in the first quarter of the financial year in what has been a transformative period for the company.
Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the company has added considerable value to its Sturec Mine in Slovakia. During the quarter, the company delivered a maiden 1.069 million ounces of solid gold and 8.214 million ounces of silver. In order to continue its positive results, the company also secured an extension to its underground mining licence.
With impressive exploration results, Metalstech took the opportunity to raise capital. The miner successfully raised $3.3 million through institutional investors. The funds raised will be used on underground railway development and to bankroll future exploration.
In terms of the company’s cash flows, there was no income to speak off. As such Metalstech announced a net loss of $367,000 for the quarter. However, with the addition of the capital raise, Metalstech cash position increased to a total of $2.9 million.
Sturec gold discovery
The discovery of high grade deposits at Sturec underlines the company position that exploration is key to its future. It also ratifies the decision to invest in its underground mining licence.
The gold was intersected at 252m, and is estimated to be an extension of the Schramen Vein which was the main vein for historical production.
