VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Great Panther Mining Limited (TSX: GPR) (NYSE-A: GPL) ("Great Panther" or the "Company") announces consolidated financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from the Tucano Gold Mine ("Tucano") in Brazil and the Topia mine in Mexico.
"Inflationary pressures and the necessary acceleration of certain capital programs affected our financial results this quarter, however as previously guided we continue to expect improvements in the coming quarters as we return to a normalized rate of production in the second half," stated Alan Hair, Chair and Interim CEO. "We expect the ramp up to steady-state production to continue through the third quarter and regular run rate to be achieved by the fourth quarter. From a cost perspective, we have had to adjust our guidance for the year, given the aforementioned factors, and are adapting our plans for capital expenditures to preserve capital where possible while focusing our efforts on improving operations and efficiencies at Tucano."
