Pure Gold Mining Inc - Vancouver-based gold mining company focused on Canada - Says its current cash balance stands at roughly USD2 million.

Explains that it withdrew its guidance for the fourth quarter of 2022, due to this. If additional outside financing is not obtained in the short term, it will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due, resulting in a default under its debt obligations, it says. "The company continues to work collaboratively with its lender, a fund managed by Sprott Resource Lending Corp to evaluate several near-term funding and strategic alternatives. This process will include evaluation of all available options, including possible sale or restructuring scenarios, in order to preserve asset value for the benefit of all stakeholders," the company says.

"While the current Volspruit Scoping study economics do not meet the company's internal investment criteria and would not currently trigger a formal investment decision, I believe that the PFS that has already commenced will illustrate the significant upside that the inclusion of the Rh resource and South Body material would contribute," CEO Jaco Prinsloo comments.
