A summary of selected financial results is presented in the following table:
Timberline had previously reported a consolidated a $3.2 million write-off of the Company's investment in its Talapoosa property in reporting its operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the largest cause of the year over year increase in Consolidated net loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company's investment in mineral exploration was significantly higher than prior quarters of fiscal 2018 and the quarter ended September 30, 2017.
Timberline's President & Chief Executive Officer, Steve Osterberg, commented, 'During 2018 we completed the acquisition of the Elder Creek and Paiute projects in the Battle Mountain District. In Q4, we increased our investment in exploration with an initial drill program which documented the existence of a mineralized copper-molybdenum-gold-silver porphyry at Elder Creek. At Eureka, our reassessment of the property lead to recognition of higher-grade Carlin-type gold occurrences at Lookout Mountain and Windfall. With these excellent results from our 2018 geological work, we plan follow-up on each of these projects with further drilling.'
