True Gold Mining Inc. (TSXV:TGM) released its financial results and business highlights for the first half of 2015, commenting that during the period it made significant progress at the Karma mine. Currently its focus there is on completing construction.
In terms of finances, the company said:

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported a net loss of $4.2 million and $11.1 million respectively, compared to net losses of $6.1 million and $10.0 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. The most significant contributor to the loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was the impairment recognized on assets damaged during the demonstration at the Karma Mine. The most significant contributor to the comparative three and six month period ended June 30, 2014 losses was exploration and evaluation expenditures predominately related to the Karma Mine.
Total assets as at June 30, 2015 have decreased since December 31, 2014 by $13.4 million to $96.7 million, mainly due to a decrease in total cash and short term investments reflecting cash outflows from operations through the six month period ended June 30, 2015. This was offset by the capitalization of development costs related to the Karma Mine net of the impairment charge related to assets damaged during the demonstration at the Karma Mine.
