Operations[edit]
Financial Issue and Mining Halt[edit]
In January, 2024, two subsidiaries, which hold the concessions for the Elk Gold mining project, have been served with "demand for payment" notices by two of their mine site contractors. These demands amount to approximately $5.6 million in total, covering contract work done on the Elk Gold mining project. Out of this sum, $4.7 million pertains to expenses incurred by the mining contractor, and a notice of security enforcement has been received from this contractor in relation to a previously announced and executed general security agreement (GSA). The company is currently exploring its legal options in response to these notices. While Gold Mountain lacks the financial means to settle these amounts at present, it is actively seeking solutions to collaborate with these contractor groups. It's important to note that mining operations were temporarily halted for the Christmas holidays and remain paused at this time.[3]
Drilling[edit]
The Company's Phase lll exploration programme, which spanned 15,500 metres, was completed in 2022. Several critical regions of the vein model were successfully enlarged, and good gold grades were repeatedly intercepted throughout the operation. The 1300 vein's mineralization was drilled to a depth of more than 400 metres below ground, a 150-meter down-dip extension from the surface. The geological confidence in zones with high-grade inferred resources in the current mineral resource estimate has been bolstered thanks to further drilling in those locations. Based on the successful Phase III campaign, an updated mineral resource estimate is scheduled to be completed in Q4.[2]
Results for the Phase lll Drill Program showed that the drillers successfully expanded the known mineralization in the Gold Creek and Siwash North zones by discovering substantial high-grade intervals. Gold concentrations were 65.37 g/t across 1.31 m, including 276 g/t over 0.31 m.[2]
Silver Royalties[edit]
Gold Mountain Mining Corp. has a royalty purchase agreement with Silver Crown Royalties Inc. (SCR). According to this agreement, the Company sold a royalty on 45% of the total gross proceeds of silver sales (the "Royalty Percentage") from its Elk Gold project, situated in British Columbia, Canada The consideration for this transaction amounts to a maximum of $3,300,000.[4] SCR exercises their option to increase the Royalty Percentage to 90% by making an additional payment of $1,250,000 in cash. Additional production bonuses are available to Gold Mounain, which may total up to $2,000,000.[5]

This payment was made in accordance with the terms specified in the royalty agreement between Gold Mountain Mining Corp. and SCR.
