Santa Fe Gold CORP: restructuring charge — Santa Fe Gold terminates mining project, records $1.4M write-down on mineral rights
Santa Fe Gold CORP
- Terminated Duncan, AZ mill/mine project after failing to secure affordable financing; water rights canceled in mid-November.
- Proposed loan interest rate exceeded prime rate plus declining gold/silver prices reduced cash flow projections by ~$500K.
- Monthly mine payments were set to increase to $175,000, worsening project economics.
- Will record a $1.4M write-down of mineral rights in Q1 2024 financial statements; focus shifts to TMRC/Alhambra project.
