"We are excited to see the continuing and increasing volumes of high-quality mineral being sourced and delivered to both plants, which led directly to our record deliveries, processing and best-ever August gold production," stated Edward Kelly, President and CEO of Inca One. "It validates our business model and operational aptitude that we were able to so quickly and effectively deploy the working capital received from our second Gold Prepayment Facility received in the first week of August from OCIM Precious Metals (August 9, 2021, press release). The Company, now armed with sufficient working capital, its only 10% off its record processing pace set in 2018 and has a goal of achieving a new production record for calendar 2021, as we come into the traditionally busier final few months of the year."
Gold production this past August was 2,309 ounces and is the Company's highest gold production since March 2020 (2,315 ounces). August was the highest August production in the Company's history and one of the Company's best-ever production months. This represents a 90% increase over the prior month's production in July 2021 (1,218 ounces).
