Karora Resources Inc. (TSX: KRR) (OTCQX: KRRGF) is pleased to announce consolidated gold production of 30,652 ounces for the second quarter of 2022 from its Beta Hunt and Higginsville mines in Western Australia. Gold sales for the quarter were 30,398 ounces. Karora’s consolidated unaudited cash balance was $114 million as of June 30, 2022.
Paul Andre Huet, Chairman & CEO, commented: “I am very proud of our gold production of 58,141 ounces for the first half of 2022, including 30,652 ounces in the second quarter, which remains in line with our full year 2022 guidance, despite very challenging conditions experienced during the first quarter associated with COVID-19 related impacts. Full year guidance is weighted to the second half of the year.
Our June 30, 2022, our unaudited cash balance of $114 million was approximately $36 million higher than our March 31, 2022 cash balance. The higher cash balance reflects proceeds received from the bought deal financing that closed last month (see Karora news release dated June 14, 2022), partially offset by capital expenditures related to advancing work on the second decline at Beta Hunt, which is continuing to track on budget and ahead of schedule, with an estimated completion date of Q1 2023 (see Karora news release dated May 24, 2022), among other projects. The second decline at Beta Hunt and the pending acquisition of the Lakewood Mill are the key drivers of our growth plan to increase gold production to an anticipated range of 185,000 to 205,000 ounces by 2024.”
