The Company is continuing to work with the Government to agree a repayment schedule for the balance of the outstanding debt and also to avoid the current situation where a large VAT receivable has accumulated and remained unpaid for an extended period.


Comment from Managing Director, Jeff Quartermaine

"We were very pleased to receive the payments totalling GH¢47.6million from the Ghanaian government in accordance with the agreed schedule and we look forward to reaching agreement on a plan for recovering the remainder of the outstanding VAT debt in the not too distant future.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had available cash and bullion on hand valued at $48.7 million and the receipt of a further GH¢17.6million (USD5.8million) on July 8, 2014 further strengthens our cash position and balance sheet."
