In the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 the Company reported an operating profit from mining operations, before depreciation, amortization and accretion, of $2,334,568 (2008 - $1,735,994) from gold revenues of $4,532,083 (2008 - $4,300,640). Expenses incurred in the mining operations were $2,197,515 (2008 - $2,564,646). For the quarter ended September 30, 2009 the Company reported net income of $2,689,470 or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $607,382, or $0.004 per share in the prior period.
As at September 30, 2009 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $5,830,238 compared to a working capital deficiency of $14,985,245 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of 38%. The Company is working diligently to continue to reduce this deficit.
During the third quarter of 2009, the Company announced the signing of a term sheet for a US$33million prepaid gold forward sale to a major international bank with a significant gold trading business. This term sheet was conditional on a $20 million dollar equity offering. Consequently the Company signed a non binding term sheet with Gravity/Kirkland for a $21million dollar private placement. It is expected that these financings will close in mid December. In total the new financing will be providing the Company with $56 million dollars of new money to start up the Lamaque project. In addition to these financings, the Company has an arrangement with Investissement Québec to buy out their note for $8.75 million dollars and 5 million shares of Century.
In the third quarter the Company completed a flow-through private placement for $1.1 million. Two additional flow-through private placements in the amounts of $1.3 million and $2.7 million were completed in October and November.
The 2010 forecasted production from the Lamaque and San Juan is estimated to be 70,000 ounces. The cash cost at San Juan is expected to be similar to that in 2009. Lamaque's production costs will be capitalized until such time that the project reaches commercial production levels as defined under Canadian GAAP.
Margaret Kent, President and CEO of Century commented, "As we have discussed in our MD&A, the worst times are behind us. Our financing plans that we will be closing in mid-December will be accretive to our shareholders and insure over time that all our creditors will be paid in full. Our Peru operation continues to be cash flow positive and we look forward to reinvesting the cash generated from the operation to expand production".
Ms. Kent further commented, "The Company has worked diligently to reduce its working capital deficit. The year end financial statements, which will reflect the closing of the proposed financings will show a significant reduction in the Company's liabilities".
