Andes Gold Corporation Continues Growth With Third Quarter Profits
BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwired - Oct 14, 2013) - Andes Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: AGCZ) a gold mining and milling company with operations in Ecuador and Peru, today released its financial results for the nine(9) month period ended September 30, 2013. The Company increased profits despite the decline in the average market price of gold by $199 per oz compared to last year. The increase in profit is a direct result of increased production, upgrading its production facilities and increased contract processing of ore from other miners without processing facilities. With the start up of the new mill announced on October 7,2013, the Company expects that the fourth quarter will show even greater revenues and profits for the year ending December 31, 2013.
Revenue for the nine(9) month period ended September 30, 2013 was $4,863,380 versus $$4,622,674 last year, an increase of $240,706. The net profit for the nine(9) month period was $1,196,094 versus $932,644 last year, an increase of $263,450 (28%). The net profit for the first six(6) months of the fiscal period ending December 31, 2013 was $646,446 versus the net profit of the third quarter alone of $549,648. This represents a significant increase in production in the third quarter which is expected to continue into the fourth quarter.
This increase in profit over last year occurred despite the fact that the average market price of an oz of gold was less by $199.00 per oz for the same period last year.
Examination of the balance sheet shows the value of the plant, machinery and equipment increased from $2,982,773 to $3,669,761. The value of construction and mining improvements increased by $1,051,783. The company continues to increase and improve operations by investing profits back into the company.
The Company is expecting significant growth in the fourth quarter as its new mill comes on production and the production capacity of the company's existing facilities increase and become more efficient.
