“Production in Q4 2024 was back to normal, after a relatively weak Q3 due to a brief delay in receiving an EIA permit which was received in July. Recovered gold ounces were up 134% quarter over quarter to 12,053 ounces, with gold sales increasing to 10,803 ounces, generating US$28.8 million in revenue. Cash balances increased by US$9.5 million, after an extensive exploration program at both the Nicaraguan and Guyanese assets,” commented CEO Akiba Leisman on the results.
Mako Mining last traded at $3.46 on the TSX Venture.
