During Q1 2021, the Company reported sales revenue of $10.4 million compared with sales revenue of $8.3 million during Q1 2020, an increase of $2.1 million. This 25% increase was due to the combined effect of an increase in the average price of gold sold and an increase in the number of gold ounces sold.
Total gold production from Minera’s Corihuarmi mine increased by 9% from 5,045 ounces in Q1 2020 to 5,487 ounces in Q1 2021. Gold sales during the first quarter of 2021 were comprised of 5,875 ounces of gold (Q1 2020: 5,195 ounces of gold) at an average realized gold price of $1,766 per ounce (Q1 2020: $1,595 per ounce). Accordingly, gold sales increased by 13% as compared to Q1 2020.
As a result, gross profit increased 41% to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to $2.2 million reported in the same period in 2020.
Commenting on the Q1 2021 financial results, Diego Benavides, CEO of Minera IRL Limited, said: “The first quarter of 2021 was a significant one for Minera.
