First quarter purchase volumes were strong but negatively impacted by lower artisanal production during the rainy season which typically starts toward the end of December 2018 through March 2019. Purchase volumes are forecast to increase over the balance of the year. The results are consistent with the previous guidance with quarter over quarter revenue growth driven by increasing artisanal miner market penetration which supported increased purchase volumes, increased refined exports and higher revenue.

The Company is maintaining previous fiscal 2019 revenue guidance of between $200 to $220 million from gold and commodity trading activity, which assumes current commodity prices, exchange rates and forecast purchase volumes, refined gold export assumptions and based upon historical results and other market factors. Cost of Sales are forecast between $197 to $217 million. This forecast is subject to change as we seek out additional commodity trading opportunities in bulk commodities, ores and energy metals.

Gorden Glenn, CEO, commented, "Improved financial results were driven by focused cost management and continued strong operational performance at our Latin American operations. Our outlook for the balance of 2019 remains very positive and supported a decision to expand the capacity of our refining operations. Expansion activities and equipment procurement was initiated during the first quarter and will be completed before the end of the June quarter. In addition, we continue to seek additional growth beyond our core gold trading and refining platform and are actively considering additional commodity trading opportunities in bulk commodities, ores and energy metals. Our goal is to deliver strong financial results, sustainable growth and exceptional shareholder value as we position ourselves as a leading commodity trader and gold refiner in Latin America."
