TELSON MINING CORPORATION CAMPO MORADO UPDATE
Telson Mining Corp. has provided a summary of its second quarter
2018 financial report.
On Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2018, the company filed its condensed interim
consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2018, and 2017. The second quarter quarterly report
presented financial information for April, May and June, 2018, that
included 45 days of preproduction and 45 days of commercial production
at the Campo Morado mine. Telson declared commercial production at Campo
Morado effective May 15, 2018 (see news release dated May
23, 2018).
Telson advises that concentrate cash sale value realized from
preproduction under international financial reporting standards
(IFRS) is not accounted as revenue on the condensed interim
consolidated financial statement of loss; instead it is capitalized
net of production costs and development expenses and presented as
mineral interest and development assets upon reaching commercial
production. Accordingly, Telson capitalized a net profit of
approximately $7.3-million for Campo Morado as mineral interest and
development assets during the preproduction period from Jan. 1 to May
15, 2018.
During the last 45 days of the quarter or since the start of commercial
production on May 15, 2018, to June 30, 2018, the company recorded a
total amount of $987,055 as mine operating earnings which is presented
on the second quarter quarterly report. Mining operations at Campo Morado are
currently processing at a rate of approximately 2,000 tonnes per day
which management intends to increase to 2,500 in the near future and
increase toward 3,000 by the end of this year.
Antonio Berlanga, chief executive officer, stated: "Our outstanding Campo Morado operations
team have performed beyond expectations and continue to work diligently
to improve the operational results at Campo Morado. Preproduction and
more recently, commercial production, has funded the acquisition of
surface and underground equipment as well as processing plant equipment,
all of which are allowing a steady increase in production rates and
corresponding concentrate sales. Telson will continue to invest in Campo
Morado to increase production capacity, mill recoveries and quality of
concentrates to maximize the mine's profitability."
Telson's Campo Morado mine has achieved direct site costs for mining,
milling and administration during the second quarter of approximately $56.6 (U.S.), $51.6
(U.S.)and $51.8 (U.S.) per tonne, respectively, for, April, May and June. These
current direct site costs are approximately 36 per cent lower than the estimated
direct site costs of $72.26 (U.S.) per tonne used for the same categories in
Telson's recently published independent preliminary economic assessment
and approximately 40 per cent lower than the previous operator's last year of
production during 2014.
