Annual Financial Results
Highlights – Year Ended December 31, 2024
In 2024, Pasinex recorded a net loss of approximately $2.7 million compared with a net loss of approximately $0.3 million in 2023. The increased loss primarily reflects lower equity gains from the Horzum AS joint venture, no dividends assigned in 2024, and higher costs incurred.
Highlights – First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025
Net loss of approximately $0.9 million, compared to net income of approximately $0.3 million in the same quarter of 2024. The primary driver of the loss was decreased equity gains from Horzum AS, higher legal and administration costs, and losses due to hyperinflationary impacts in Türkiye.
Sarikaya License Update
Pasinex continues to progress the Sarikaya License, under an agreement with Turkish company Aydin Teknik, Pasinex has until October 18, 2025, to exercise its option to acquire 100% of this high-potential zinc property.
During recent development work, a promising new ore face was discovered approximately 300 meters southwest of the existing production adit. This newly uncovered zone contains mixed carbonate and sulphide zinc ores, with initial X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements indicating zinc concentrations of around 30%. This discovery confirms mineralization continuity along a 500-meter trend between the historic open pit and the current production location. To facilitate extraction of this new ore, a 300-meter extension from the existing production adit is underway.
Corporate Update
Pasinex is in discussions with key investors for a pure equity private placement. The funds will be used to purchase the Sarikaya property, exploration activities, working capital purposes, and other high-grade zinc projects.
Legal Actions
Pasinex Arama, on behalf of Horzum AS, continued pursuing legal actions initiated in the second half of 2024 aimed at resolving outstanding receivables of approximately $37.7 million owed by Akmetal.
Strategic Developments
Outlook
Pasinex continues its strategic focus on acquiring and advancing high-grade zinc properties through exploration and small-scale mining operations.
