TELSON MINING CORPORATION CLARIFIES DEFINITION OF CASH FLOW IN NEWS RELEASE DECLARING COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION AT ITS CAMPO MORADO MINE
Telson Mining Corp. announced, by news release
earlier today, the start of commercial production at its 100-per-cent-owned Campo
Morado mine, located in Guerrero state, Mexico.
In the production news release, Telson stated amongst other production
data the following.
Campo Morado production milestones:
- Telson generates $7.7-million (U.S.) in cash flow in final month and a half (April 1
to May 15, 2018) of preproduction.
- The company generated approximately $7.7-million (U.S.) in cash flow during the three
months of first quarter, that increased to $5.2-million (U.S.) in April alone, which based on
costs of approximately $3.5-million (U.S.) resulted in net cash flow for the month
of $1.7-million (U.S.).
- Concentrate preproduction was from April 1 to May 15, 2018, management's
estimated 100-per-cent concentrate sale value for 45 days ending May 15, 2018
(start of commercial production), was $7.7-million (U.S.), from
April 1 to
April 30 was $5.2-million
(U.S.) and from May 1 to May 15 was $2.5-million
(U.S.).
On further review of the prefiled production news release, this morning,
the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC)
determined that additional clarification was required and halted trading
in the company's shares.
The company wishes to clarify that the term "cash flow" as used in the production
news release is the cash receipts for concentrates delivered to the
buyer of such concentrates. It is cash receipts and does not include
cash payments for goods, services or payments to or on behalf of
employees or any expenditures associated with the costs of production.
The costs of production are calculated at month-end. As stated in the
production news release, in April, 2018, Telson generated cash from the
sales of concentrates of $5.2-million (U.S.) with costs of production of $3.5-million (U.S.) for
net cash of $1.7-million (U.S.). For the first 15 days of May (ending on the date of
the commencement of commercial production), Telson generated cash
receipts from the sales of concentrates of $2.5-million (U.S.); however, it has not
determined the costs of production for that interim period.
Now that Telson has declared commercial production, cash receipts from
sales of concentrate will be reported as revenues, and Telson will be in
a position to report net income/loss on a quarterly basis.
Telson reiterates that all of the figures in the production news release
are correct.
