TORONTO, May 13, 2015 /CNW/ -Â Galane Gold Ltd. ("Galane Gold" or the "Company") (TSX-V: GG) is pleased to announce the release of its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2015. All amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
A copy of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the corresponding Management's Discussion and Analysis will be available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com.
First Quarter 2015 Highlights
Galane Gold CEO, Nick Brodie commented: "In isolation the results for the quarter appear disappointing, but this does not represent the achievements we have actually made in the quarter. The results are in fact as planned by the Company as we undertake the transition from predominately open pit to underground mining at the Company's Tau operation. It is currently expected that the Company will be in full production from Tau underground towards the end of Q3 2015 at which point we expect there to be a marked improvement in the performance of the Company.
It is also an exciting time for the Company as we start the process of due diligence at Galaxy, which was announced subsequent to the end of the quarter. The Company sees Galaxy as a potential near term production asset, with minimal capital costs and an ability to increase production in easily manageable steps. This is also expected to be at a cost which is a fraction of replacement cost."
