Intercontinental Gold and Metals Ltd. (TSXV: ICAU) ("ICAU" or the "Company") is a Next Generation Mining and Metals Company that has successfully re-structured into a sustainable, revenue generating, gold and metals trading business. Our October 2017 gold exports increased to over 3,000 ounces versus over 2,300 ounces reported for September 2017. Gold trading activity continues to be strong with Artisanal and Small Gold Mining ("ASGM") client offerings exceeding available working capital.
Our expansion strategy in Bolivia and elsewhere in Latin America ("LATAM") is well underway. Applications for entry into other LATAM ASGM markets have been initiated with initial trading and exports forecast for Q1 2018. ICAU is the only publicly listed company servicing the LATAM ASGM export market.
Forward guidance for the month of November 2017, assuming average gold price of US$1270 per ounce, is for gold exports in the range of 90 to 100 kgs.
Gorden Glenn, President and CEO commented "We continue to execute our strategy to grow both our top and bottom line financial results. While our top line results can be impacted by fluctuations in gold price or seasonal production fluctuations, our bottom line results are largely unaffected. The potential of the LATAM ASGM market continues to improve and we see expansion opportunities leading to higher monthly gold exports, trading revenues and profits as we expand operations in Bolivia and access other LATAM markets."
