Contact Gold Reports Q1 2019 Financial and Operating Results

30.05.2019 | 1:24 Uhr | Newsfile

Contact Gold Corp. (TSXV: C) (the "Company" or "Contact Gold Corp.") is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Company's focus is on the Pony Creek gold property ("Pony Creek") located within the Pinion Range, in western Elko County, Nevada, south of the Railroad Pinion project operated by Gold Standard Ventures Corp.. Pony Creek encompasses approximately 107 km2 in the southern portion of the Carlin gold trend and hosts near surface oxide and deeper high-grade gold occurrences and targets supported by extensive exploration databases.

The Company made several new gold discoveries at Pony Creek in 2018, and to date 87 of 93 holes drilled by Contact Gold Corp. have encountered gold mineralization.

Quarterly highlights and recent developments

  • Closed financings for aggregate gross proceeds of $6.85 million
  • Announced the start of the 2019 drilling program at Pony Creek with the mobilization of one reverse circulation ("RC") drill rig
  • Expansion through RC drilling of the Bowl Zone area by a further 250 m to the south of previously known mineralization
  • Extension of the gold footprint at the Pony Spur target, including gold-in-soils extending 580 metres west from the Pony Spur discovery hole
  • Developed multiple new Carlin gold targets at Pony Creek, including:
    • "Palomino" - immediately northwest of the high-grade oxide portion of the "Bowl Zone"
    • "Mustang" - a continuation of the 1.5 kilometre ("km") long gold-in-soil "Moleen", and "Willow" targets, located 600 metres ("m") north of the "Stallion Zone" (previously named the "West Zone"), and immediately south of GSV's Jasperoid Wash discovery
    • "DNZ" - north-south striking structural target that lies on strike between GSV's Dixie target and the Appaloosa Zone

Outlook

With the closing of the non-brokered private placement on March 14, 2019, and closing of the public offering on May 22, 2019, the Company is fully funded to begin its 2019 exploration and drilling program at Pony Creek. Areas of immediate focus are expected to include expanding the high-grade oxide gold zone of the Bowl Zone first encountered in 2018 drilling, and follow-up drilling at the 2.3 km long "Stallion" oxide gold discovery, and at the Appaloosa Zone.

Losses attributable to shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $ 1.78 million (2018: $1.25 million), reflect primarily (i) exploration and evaluation of the Company's exploration property interests ($0.60 million), (ii) costs incurred for professional, legal and advisory fees, administration & office expenditures, wages and salaries, and investor relations activities (in aggregate, $0.74 million), and (iii) non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.25 million, net of a fair value adjustment recognized on the embedded derivatives within the Preferred Shares (gain of $0.22 million). Losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 reflect similar activities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, exploration and evaluation expenditures were predominantly related to activity at the Pony Creek property, including the evaluation and review of data generated through 2018 and the commencement of the planned 2019 program. Approximately $0.50 million in expenditures had been incurred through March 31, 2019 for exploration at Pony Creek (in aggregate through March 31, 2018: $0.48 million).

Other comprehensive loss attributable to shareholders for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was $0.82 million (three months ended March 31, 2018: gain $1.09 million). Other comprehensive income reflects the foreign currency impact arising on the post-acquisition carrying value of the Company's exploration property portfolio.

Net cash operating outflows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 of $1.14 million reflects primarily (i) ongoing activity and exploration at Pony Creek, (ii) investor relations and head office costs, and (iii) the settlement of balances due to service providers and vendors at year end (March 31, 2018: $0.89 million).

The Company's has elected to capitalize mineral property acquisition costs, and expense exploration expenditures as incurred. Total assets at March 31, 2019 comprise primarily: exploration and evaluation assets of $38.48 million, and $2.22 million in cash. At December 31, 2018, total assets included primarily capitalized mineral property acquisition costs of $39.28 million, and $0.55 million in cash.

Total liabilities at March 31, 2019 include the value of the Preferred Shares ($11.77 million), the value of the Rights issued in the Private Placement ($0.37 million), and payables and accruals of $1.01 million. At December 31, 2018, the balance of total liabilities included the value of the Preferred Shares ($11.59 million), and accounts payable and accruals ($0.89 million). The Preferred Shares were concluded to be a form of obligation and have been included as a non-current liability. The terms and conditions of the Preferred Shares are detailed in the Interim Financial Statements. The accounting value of the Preferred Shares reflects both a "host" component of the instrument and certain embedded derivatives. The values of each will change from period-to-period, reflecting accretion of the host obligation and the impact of foreign currency changes on the host, and (ii) a fair value adjustment (three months ended March 31, 2019: loss of $0.51 million) and the impact of foreign exchange on the embedded derivatives (three months ended March 31, 2019: $0.22 million gain).

Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.32 million at March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $0.50 million gain) is the aggregate foreign currency impact on the translation to Canadian dollars of the value of the Contact Gold Corp. Properties.
