Marathon Gold Announces 2021 First Quarter Results

On May 6, 2021, the Company announced an additional 50,000 metres of drilling to be completed at the Berry Deposit.

Finally, subsequent to the quarter end, we announced a re-commitment to exploration at the Project, with additional drilling metres committed at Berry, and an optimized construction strategy based on prioritizing the construction of the Project’s infrastructure elements prior to commencing site works, and establishing the ‘best’ conditions for a successful build.

Share-based compensation expense increased from $0.01 million to $0.07 million in the quarter, resulting primarily from a $0.26 million increase related to stock options granted during the first quarter of 2021 and further vesting of prior period stock option grants, offset partially by a decrease in the deferred share unit liability resulting from a decrease in the Company’s share price between year-end 2020 and March 31, 2021.

Capital expenditures excluding working capital movements, were $1.60 million higher than the prior year primarily as a result of increased exploration drilling completed compared to the prior year and the completion of the remaining activities related to the finalization of the FS during the quarter.
