Stifel GMP retained its conservative short-term outlook on Pure Gold Mining Inc (TSX-V:PGM, LSE:PUR, OTC:LRTNF), but thinks the life of mine plan and pre-feasibility studies due in quarter four will provide clarity on its long-term valuation. The comments came as Pure Gold posted record monthly production of 4.59 koz (thousand ounces) on the back of improved throughput, of 813 tonnes per day (tpd), and higher grades of 5.9 grams per tonne (g/t). While the higher grades were driven by ore sourced from high-grade stopes, the higher throughput resulted from an improvement in short range mine planning process, execution and mill availability, the broker said, adding the company anticipates continuing its operational improvements and guided towards a 1,000 tpd near-term target.
Usha Resources Ltd (TSX-V:USHA) announced that it has issued 745,033 company common shares, at a deemed price of $0.302 per share, to Ares Strategic Mining (TSX-V:ARS) Inc, which price is based on Usha’s 10-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP). The issuance of the shares to Strategic Mining represents the second payment required pursuant to the option agreement dated March 17, 2022, as amended, entered into with the vendor for the acquisition Jackpot Lake project in Nevada.

The third payment will need to be made on or before March 17, 2023, Usha said. The company also noted it intends on satisfying the $1 million work commitment through the expenditures from its upcoming maiden drill program, of which Usha is in the final stages of preparing.
