Molybdenum mining company General Moly said that it entered 2017 with a cash balance of approximately US$8.5 million at year-end 2016.
At the Mt Hope mining project, the company’s 80% owned joint venture operating company Eureka Moly ended 2016 with a balance of US$13.0 million (100% basis) in a cash reserve account, and will remain self-funded through 2021 based on projected care and maintenance expenses.
The Company reported a net loss for the three months ending 31 December 2016 of US$1.9 million compared to a net loss of US$2.0 million for the same prior year period. Net loss for the full year ending 31 December 2016 was US$8.1 million, compared to a loss of US$15.2 million for the same prior year period.
‘2016 has been a challenging year as the molybdenum market continued to slowly recover,’ said Bruce D Hansen, CEO. ‘…We anticipate an improved molybdenum market going forward as we see the oil market stabilize and energy related steel production increasing.’
