Inca One Gold Corp. Reports February Sales of US$5.02 Million
Vancouver, March 26, 2024 - Inca One Gold Corp. (TSXV: INCA) (OTCQB: INCAF) (FSE: SU92) ("Inca One" or the "Company") a gold producer operating two mineral processing facilities in Peru, (the "Plants") reports sales (unaudited) for February 2024 and comparative year over year ("YoY") operational results. Sales revenue for the Company reached US$5.02 million in February, a 161% increase YoY and a 10% increase over the prior month of January 2024, marking it as Inca One's highest ever February monthly sales. The increases were fueled by increased volume of gold ounces produced in the previous month and sold during February and a higher gold price (US$2,029 as compared to US$1,838 in February 2023).
| Consolidated Operations | Feb-24 | Feb-23 | YoY change |
| Total sales (US$ millions) | $5.02 | $1.92 | 161% |
| Deliveries (tonnes) | 2,550 | 2,996 | -15% |
| Milling (tonnes) | 4,053 | 2,215 | 83% |
| Gold produced (ounces) | 1,301 | 922 | 41% |
Milling and gold production in February also showed significant YoY increases of 83% and 41%, respectively, with the Plants milling at an average of 140 tonnes per day ("TPD").
As reported in last month's production update, deliveries slowed during February from the initial effects of the rainy season. This is typical for this time of year and should temporarily impact the supply of gold ore feedstock to the Plants. The Company continues to have working capital constraints, which will likely impact ore purchases and sales in the coming months.
