The firm announced in a press release today financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and its third full year of financial results since declaring commercial production on July 1, 2021, at its San Albino gold mine.
Mako’s fourth quarter 2023 financial results reflect record gold sales of U.S. $26.5 million, which generated U.S. $16.8 million in mine operating cash flow and U.S. $9.5 million in net income. Additionally, revenues, adjusted EBITDA and mine operating cash flow were all at record levels. Earnings per share were U.S. $0.145 in earnings per share for the quarter.

The cash flow coming from the mine is enabling us to invest in exploration while we strengthen our balance sheet in anticipation of the announced acquisition of Goldsource Mines later this quarter."
