VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov 6, 2013) - International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. ("ITH" or the "Company") - (ITH.TO)(NYSE MKT:THM) today announced that it has filed its unaudited third quarter financial statements and associated management discussion and analysis and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013.
"The Livengood Gold Project is a well-known and significant resource. The project is 100% controlled by ITH, is located in an excellent, stable jurisdiction and is managed by an outstanding and experienced team, putting us in a position to find the proper joint venture partner and provide shareholder value," said Don Ewigleben, CEO of ITH.
The Company will continue to focus on on-going meetings with interested industry entities that have signed confidentiality agreements regarding the Livengood Project and evaluating and prioritizing project enhancement opportunities as identified in the NI 43-101 completed during the quarter as well as other optimization opportunities suggested by CA participants. During this difficult time in the gold and financial markets, ITH will continue to concentrate on cash conservation and preservation of the Livengood asset while moving the project forward incrementally.
The Company is continuing the necessary environmental baseline activities to maintain the integrity and usability of the five years of historical data already compiled. In early November, as part of its environmental stewardship, ITH received recognition for excellent exploration reclamation work from the Department of Natural Resources, State of Alaska.
The Company's working capital as of September 30, 2013 was USD 16.2 million, which will allow the Company to advance the project and maintain the asset well into 2015.
