Medoro Resources Announces Q1 2011 Financial Results
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, Medoro reported revenues of $7.41 million, compared with $3.52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were entirely due to Mineros Nacionales S.A., which was acquired by the Company in February 2010. Mineros Nacionales owns the Zona Baja license at the Marmato Project and operates the Mineros Nacionales underground gold mine. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, Mineros Nacionales sold 5,301 ounces of gold at a weighted average price of US$1,349.08 per ounce and 8,047 ounces of silver at a weighted average price of $32.49 per ounce.
For the first quarter of 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $3.9 million or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million or $0.02 per share for the first quarter of 2010. The increase in net loss of $1 million was primarily a result of general and administrative costs by $2.7 million, offset by an increase in gross profit of $1.3 million from the Company's operations at Mineros Nacionales and a gain on warrants classified as derivative liabilities.
The financial statements and MD&A will be posted on the Company's website at www.medororesources.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
