Contango ORE Announces Earnings for Quarter Ended December 31, 2021

14.02.2022  |  Business Wire

Contango Ore Inc. ("CORE" or the "Company") (NYSE American: CTGO) announced that it had a net loss of $(4.9) million, or $(0.72) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to a net loss of ($3.2) million or $(0.53) per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported a net loss of ($9.4) million, or ($1.41) per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to a net income of $30.2 million or $4.79 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. The decrease in income for the sixth month period ended December 31, 2021 is due to gain on the sale of a portion of the Company's equity interest in Peak Gold, LLC to a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corp. on September 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, the Company reported cash of $21.9 million. The Company also announced that it filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, the Company's President and CEO commented, "The Company accomplished a number of important objectives during the last quarter of 2021, including: 1) up-listing on the NYSE American Exchange; 2) completion of the Manh Choh field program; 3) submission of the 404 permit application to the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) and conducted extensive public engagement on the activities and plans for developing the Manh Choh project as well as the related transportation plan for trucking ore to the Fort Knox facility; and 4) engaged underground mine contractor Atkinson to refurbish and extend the Enserch tunnel at the Lucky Shot project into the footwall of the Lucky Shot vein so that the Company can conduct detailed drilling of the down-dip extension of the vein from underground.

"Now in the first calendar quarter of 2022, the Company is well positioned to accomplish some very important milestones that management expect to add significant shareholder value: 1) on the Manh Choh deposit, the Peak Gold JV has approved an approximately $48 million program (Contango's share is $14.4 million) to complete a feasibility study, complete the US Army Corps of Engineers 404 federal permitting effort; and complete early-work construction on the construction/operating camp, roads and laydown areas along with establishing security and IT for the proposed mine site; 2) Atkinson has mobilized all of its personnel and equipment to the Lucky Shot site and is now underground and we are on schedule to start drilling in July; and 3) continue early exploration on our Triple Z, Shamrock and Eagle-Hona projects. It will be a busy year, but one that advances the Company's assets significantly along the value chain and towards production."
