![Kalimantan’s First Quarter Results 2013](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The Company incurred a comprehensive profit for the three months ended March 31, 2013, of $25,151 (2012 – loss of $134,741). The profit derived from the $219,815 management fees earned in the three month period that relate to being the operator of the KSK Agreement and are directly correlated with the magnitude of the gross exploration expenditures funded by our joint venture partners and our continuance as operator.
The Company began the current fiscal quarter with $3,058,382 in cash. Operating activities used $1,750,974 in cash, used $240,823 to purchase equipment, received $99,805 as recovery of equipment purchases, and recorded $1,994 of unrealized foreign exchange loss on cash balances, to end the quarter with $1,168,384 in cash, of which $382,182 is held exclusively for use pursuant to the KSK Agreement.
The highlights of the first quarter and up to May 28, 2013, include:
A significant drilling and exploration program at the KSK CoW of up to $16,200,000 for 2013 is well underway. The 2013 program will complete a substantial drilling and exploration program. An additional 15 major prospects on the KSK CoW will be explored in 2013 to generate drill targets utilizing up to 5 helicopter supported drill rigs. The 2013 activity focuses on five main areas: surface mapping; remote sensing; drilling; assaying and data compilation and modeling.

Prospects being explored now are Beruang Kanan West, Beruang Tengah West, Mamuring and Volcano.
In early May KSK was issued the Forestry Borrow to Use extension it needed to now allow exploration to begin at the Tumbang Huoi, Baroi and Mansur prospects, which are historically three of the most prospective exploration targets within the KSK CoW. The Ministry of Mines has provided formal correspondence to KSK confirming its approval of the KSK 2013 exploration and work program.
