Eric Zurrin, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"Shanta enters a new chapter with a net cash position, completing a period of enormous deleveraging. Annualised Q2 EBITDA at spot gold is just under $100m per annum from the New Luika mine with margins expanded from lower costs and a rising gold price. Future production at Singida is expected to significantly increase the company's cashflow.
Shanta expects to shortly conclude the acquisition of Barrick's Kenya assets whereupon Shanta will own three projects with 3 million oz of high quality gold resources. Shanta's near-term focus is on replacing reserves at New Luika, financing and commencing Singida's construction, and expanding the resource base at the West Kenya Project. We remain committed to rigorous capital allocation, growth of underlying shareholder value and to managing a sustainable and responsible mining company."
No need to ramp. Enough said.
