Trading Update
Goldplat plc, the AIM listed African gold producer, announces that, further to the statement made in the Interim Results dated 30 March 2015, the operating loss for the year ended 30 June 2015 is now expected to be materially the same as the operating loss for the half year ended 31 December 2014.
The Company expects to announce full year results for the year ended 30 June 2015 on 28 September 2015.
Gerard Kisbey-Green, Goldplat's CEO, commented "The substantial improvements in trading have not flowed through as rapidly as we had hoped. In particular, resumption of operations and improvements in Ghana were not realised during the period with significant value still in the pipeline at the year-end.
On a positive note, management is budgeting for an overall operating profit in the year ending 30 June 2016 and believe that capital projects will be funded internally with peak funding requirements being financed by non-equity capital during the period."
