Brookmount Gold (OTC:BMXI) Stock In Focus: Here Is Why
There are a fairly large number of companies that could be worth watching this morning, and one of those could well be Brookmount Gold (OTC:BMXI). The company had been in the news cycle on October 25 after it announced that it had inked a supplemental agreement for the purpose of amending a major term of the originally signed agreement with its operating partner for the gold-producing and mining facility in Talawaan. The facility is situated in the province of Sulawesi, Indonesia.
As per the terms of the supplemental agreement, there would be use and retention of the surplus cash that would be generated from the Talawaan operations. Eventually, the surplus cash held by the operating partner would be provided on behalf of the company as of November 30, 2023. It could work out to as much as $13 million. The money would need to be released in its entirety on that date and then reinvested in a range of areas.
Some of those areas in which the money would be invested include recapitalization, investment in upgrades to environmental operating standards, expansion of existing gold assets at the site, and restoration and replacement of forest areas that had been excavated. As per the terms of the supplemental agreement, surplus cash that would be generated from December 1, 2023, onwards from the operations would be available for distribution to Brookmount Gold. The Chief Executive Officer of the company, Nils Ollquist, spoke about the development as well.
He stated that the amendment, which had been in the works for some time, would be in the best interests of both the company and its shareholders. He noted that the funds that had been held by the company’s operating partner on its behalf were going to be made available for it. That would allow Brookmount to deploy that cash, bringing about a paradigm shift in its operations in Indonesia and also in other locations. As a matter of record, the company owns production and exploration assets in North America.
On July 20, 2023, the company announced its financial results for the second fiscal quarter, which had ended on May 31, 2023. The company announced that it had boosted its net profit by as much as 15.6% year over year. Additionally, net asset growth had gone up 37.1% year on year to hit $35.768 million. The net profit figure for the quarter recorded by Brookmount came in at $2.207 million, and the sales figures hit $4.625 million, which worked out to a rise of 0.9% over the first quarter.
However, in the news release, Brookmount did reveal that fluctuations in the exchange rate had been responsible for having an impact on sales in the second quarter. That being said, the company was also buoyed by favorable gold prices, which supported the sales figures amidst currency fluctuations. The company also reported that its total liabilities at the end of the quarter came in at $1.301 million, which reflected a drop of 33.3%.
