Continental Gold (TSX:CNL; OTCQX:CGOOF) has provided an update on its progress at its mine in Buriticá, Colombia, and financial status. As of September 30, 2019, the company had $78.9 million USD in cash and cash equivalents (including $6.8 million in restricted cash). To reduce liquidity risk, they are actively pursuing financing opportunities, including from existing lenders and significant shareholders.

Continental has also negotiated a binding option on a financing offer from an arm’s length third party to purchase $50 million of common shares. If Continental exercises the option, common shares would be issued on a private placement basis, at a price of $4.20 Canadian Dollars per common share, subject to regulatory approval. Closing is expected to occur during the first half of December 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including that no material adverse effect shall have occurred.

Continental Gold presented at the 2019 Colombia Gold Symposium, where it discussed its successes regarding social and environmental sustainability. The mine enjoys positive relations with the surrounding community.

Continental Gold also announced that it has been granted a key exploration license by the Government of Antioquia and will begin exploratory drilling. The Electra South and Orion targets are within 5km of the existing mine site. Sampling shows up to 136 grams per ton in the Electra South deposit, formerly known as Obispo.
