Interim Results and Trading Update
Interim Results
Wishbone Gold Plc (the Company) has pleasure in announcing the interim results for the group to 30th June 2016. We remind shareholders that these are unaudited and based only on management accounts. The highlights are set out below.
These results include Precious Metals International Ltd and Black Sand FZE for the first time from the acquisition date of 4th February 2016.
The Company raised funding for the gold trading to commence at the beginning of June, therefore no gold trading results are included in these results.
Trading Update
Black Sand FZE has now signed supply agreements with companies in Peru, Ghana, Chile and Colombia. It normally takes around three to four months to integrate a company into the supply chain because gold trading is a highly regulated business and in the Wishbone group we are insistent that the entire supply chain complies with OECD guidelines on precious metals trading.
Currently we are shipping gold from Ghana and Peru. We are on track to meet our year end target of shipping 100 kilos per week. In addition the Company has contracts under negotiation for further suppliers in the above and other countries.
Proactive Investors One2One Presentation
Chairman and CEO, Richard Poulden will be presenting at the Proactive Investors One2One Forum at 1900 on the 8th September at the Chesterfield Hotel, Mayfair, London.
