I did say this back at the end of last year, that it was unfortunate that we had entered a slow period when it comes to financials - they are usually two months after a quarter finishes but the final quarter gets rolled into full year results and is released in April).
I pointed this out to management and they said they would add extra detail in the end of year operational update, which they did, at least in terms of announcing (record) quarterly revenue. From that figure it’s easy to extrapolate the net profit more or less and see that Q4 last year well exceeded the previous quarterly record of $27.5m net profit.
Now gold prices have gone even higher and the forward contract is so minimal there’s reason to think the Q1 profit will be record breaking again, but of course the quarter isn’t quite over… but it will again turn heads when released in May.
So we couldn’t ask for a better run of scheduled news. This month running into April we’ll have an announcement re buybacks/dividend, the Douta PFS, further Segilola drill results and hopefully an update from federal government (not in management’s control). Then April we get full year results ($90m-$95m profit won’t look bad!) and then Q1 operational update same month followed by Q1 financials in May. Finishing the quarter we should be getting a maiden lithium reserve and could well already have the Douta DFS completed by then.
