Perseus Mining Reports on Financial Year Ending 30 June 2020 - Seite 2
The Company’s net assets at June 30, 2020 were A$875.6 million or A$0.75 per share after accounting for cash and bullion on hand of A$237.5 million and interest-bearing liabilities of A$217.7 million.
Looking to the future, Perseus’s financial performance is expected to remain strong with continuing solid gold production and an improving cost structure at each of its three operating gold mines.
However, given the potential for changes to Perseus’s operating environment due to COVID-19, forecasting future gold production or costs with full confidence is challenging. Every effort is being
applied to maintaining “business as usual” and achieving internal production and cost targets, but success cannot be guaranteed while the spread of COVID-19 continues in West Africa. With
that caveat, guidance for the December 2020 Half Year is as follows:
