“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.

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.
