Average quarterly cash margin of US$793 per ounce of gold was US$58 per ounce more than prior quarter.
Notional cashflow from operations increased by 10% quarter-on-quarter to US$104 million, resulting in total year to date notional cashflow of US$275 million.
Operating performance consistently in line with ESG KPIs.
Perseus’s strong operating performance is forecast to continue with no change to the June 2022 Half Year production guidance of 230,000 to 265,000 ounces at an AISC of US$915 to US$1,085 per ounce.
Business growth activities delivered excellent results, with a material increase in Perseus’s Ore Reserves inventory and an extension the economic mine lives of our operations likely to result from:
The proposed acquisition of Orca Gold Inc. through a Plan of Arrangement, which when complete, will result in the ownership of the undeveloped long-life Block 14 Gold Project in Sudan, and an indirect 31.4% interest in the Koné Gold Project, owned by TSX-V listed Montage Gold Corp, in northern Côte d’Ivoire, that is based on a large, potentially long-life undeveloped gold reserve.
The updated Life of Mine Plan for the Sissingué processing operation has extended the life of that operation to FY2026.
Exploration programmes at the Nkosuo prospect near Edikan and the CMA Underground prospect at Yaouré have both returned excellent drill results, confirming the potential for strong organic growth of each mine.
Perseus’s financial position continues to strengthen with available cash and bullion of US$278 million, debt of US$50 million, and net cash of US$228 million at 31 March 2022, US$66 million more than last quarter.
Interim dividend of 0.81 Australian cents per share was paid to shareholders following the end of the quarter.
