RE: Price of locally sold Gold this ..1 May 2019 20:20
Playing with the figures, one notices the following trends:
1. Total mined and unsold gold is around 25%.
2. Bird can choose to sell this gold to increase quarterly revenue figures.
3. My guess is mined gold purity is improving because the Chinese have a better refinement process. I arrived at this assumption by taking price of sold gold divided by an average world gold price at start and end of each quarter to indicate purity levels, around 80% for first three quarters and 93% for last quarter.
If this is the case, bodes very well for ramping-up production during the forthcoming dry season.
$77,724 annual profit last 12 months for alluvial gold production. XTR should break-even operationally this next 12 months, maybe 6-9 months, who knows, and before hard rock commences.
