    Steppe Gold Limited (TSX:STGO) (“Steppe Gold” or “the Company”) is extremely pleased to announce its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

    Steppe Gold Limited (TSX:STGO) (“Steppe Gold” or “the Company”) is extremely pleased to announce its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

    Steppe Gold CEO, Mr Bataa Tumur-Ochir commented “We are pleased to report a very strong first quarter of production at the ATO Gold Mine. With cash costs under $600 in this ramp up phase, and over 1m tonnes of ore now mined and paid for, we are seeing the strong cash flow generation of this first phase of the ATO project. We have continued our unblemished safety record and we have largely avoided the impacts of COVID-19, with uninterrupted production in the period.

    With over US$23m cash on hand and regular gold sales occurring we are well positioned to benefit from the current trend in rising gold prices. We are now also turning our attention to finalising the ATO resource update, incorporating the Mungu discovery, and the Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) Update at the fresh rock phase of the ATO Project. We are very excited to commence the larger second phase of this long life, low cost project.”
