TriMetals Mining Inc. files First Quarter 2018 Financial Statements and MD&A

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TriMetals Mining Inc. (TSX:TMI) (OTCQX:TMIAF), (the “Company”), reports the release of its condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 with cash at the end of the quarter of $1.2 million. In this press release, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Highlights for 1Q 2018 and to date:

  • The Company has implemented cost reductions to lower corporate overhead since the beginning of the year, resulting in a 34% decrease in general and administrative expenses from the quarterly average of $0.56 million during 2017 to $0.37 million in 1Q 2018;
  • A non-brokered private placement was completed for gross proceeds of $1.49 million (Cdn$1.9 million) as announced in the Company’s news releases of March 5, 2018 and February 26, 2018;
  • The Company reported positive rock chip sampling results from the South Jumbo and new Homestake targets at the Gold Springs Project as announced in the Company’s news release of April 26, 2018 from a surface sampling program completed at the end of 2017.

Exploration spending during the three months ended March 31, 2108 decreased to $0.4 million from $0.63 million incurred in the first quarter in 2017. The 2018 costs included $0.3 million incurred at Gold Springs and $0.1 million incurred at the Escalones property in Chile. Exploration drilling and related exploration costs for the Gold Springs Project, located on the border of Nevada and Utah are capitalized and reported as deferred exploration costs in the Statement of Financial Position.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the TSX closing price of the Class B shares (a liability in the financial statements) decreased by Cdn. $0.01 (2017 – decreased by Cdn. $0.03) per Class B share resulting in a non-cash gain of $1.45 million (2017 –$1.9 million).

  • Focusing the Company’s efforts to advance the exploration and geologic understanding of the district-potential at the Gold Springs Project, including expanding the resources along the 5.5-kilometer long Jumbo Trend;
  • Unlocking value by facilitating the advancement of the Escalones copper‑gold porphyry-skarn project in Chile;
  • Participating with the Company’s legal team to resolve the international arbitration against Bolivia and recover full compensation based on the fair market value for the Malku Khota project; and
