Due to our strategic focus on Cascabel and prudent capital management, broader technical and fieldwork on regional assets remains temporarily suspended. However, we continue to keep all concessions in good standing, recognizing their long-term strategic value. As we progress with Cascabel and our financial position strengthens, we aim to advance these assets strategically,"
Current assets ($16,969,262 at 31 Dec) increased primarily due to the increase in cash from the first draw on the Gold Stream Agreement of $33,400,000. Cash was used to settle the short-term borrowing of $10,211,242, and outlay on capitalized exploration and evaluation costs of approximately $9.5 million.
The Gold Stream Agreement provides a source of funding to continue the de-risking and technical advancement of Cascabel. However, further funding is required to continue advancement of other projects. Management anticipates raising additional funds in order to maintain its regional Ecuadorian projects in 2025.
