Nils Ollquist, CEO of Brookmount Gold commented as follows: "We are pleased, but not entirely satisfied, by our growth during the past year. During the current fiscal year, we plan to take full advantage of achieving full operational control of our mining operations in Indonesia, through seeking greater efficiency in our mining activities, expanding our number of operating shafts and improving our ore processing sequence to reduce processing times. While the initial transition process to full ownership of the mine, in the first 2 months of 2025 slowed production, the foundation for incremental growth has now been established. Our objective is that the second half of 2025 will show production higher than the second half of 2024. As the price of gold continues to rise (recently trading above $3,000/oz for the first time), and we continue to mine successfully and profitably, the future for the Company is excellent, and will be enhanced by initiatives undertaken by management to enhance the market value of its shares and reward its shareholders for their patience during the past 2 years of rapid development".
2024 Operational Highlights
In 2024 the Company mined approximately 6,500 ounces (oz) of gold, a new company record, and has now recorded twenty-three consecutive profitable quarters.
In July, the Company announced a definitive agreement for the acquisition of 100% ownership and control of The Company's mining operations at the Indonesian mine. In December, the Company completed the acquisition and took full operational control. Errin Kimball, Brookmount's Chief Geologist relocated to Indonesia to oversee the process and ensure a smooth transition. In January, the mine was reopened and mining operations recommenced.
The Company commissioned a valuation report from an independent U.S.-based accounting/appraisal firm, to review and endorse a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis of the Indonesian gold operation's value to justify the purchase. The report ultimately derived a valuation of $168.7 million, thus paving the way for the purchase and 100% control of the mine and its operations. The $168.7 million appraised value is derived from a thorough and comprehensive analysis of historical and projected production, sales, operating expenses, earnings, and ore grades statistics.
With full operational control, the Company now has the right to fully explore and exploit the 50-hectare property, including implementing a drilling program to carry the balance of provable reserves on our financial statements, while also guiding future gold exploitation. The Company is working with SGS Group, the worlds leading Testing, Inspection & Certification company with respect to conducting thermal imaging analysis of ore deposits on the property.
The Company initiated a strategy of restructuring North American operations. Given that the majority of our North American properties are each at, or near, production status, Brookmount is proposing a strategy whereby these properties will be transferred into a separate listed entity to facilitate greater access to project funding and provide an independent listing and valuation platform. The transaction will be structured in such a way that several benefits will accrue to Brookmount, and most importantly, its shareholders.
The Company launched a new social media platform to improve and streamline information delivery and communication with our stakeholders at all levels. This has led to enhanced communication and global visibility creating additional business opportunities for the company.
