HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Contango ORE, Inc. ("Contango," "CORE" or the "Company") (NYSE American: CTGO) announced that it had a net loss of $(7.9) million, or $(1.09) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a net loss of $(6.8) million or $(1.01) per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company reported a net loss of $(29.3) million, or $(4.23) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(16.3) million or $(2.42) per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. The increase in net loss for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2023, is primarily due to an increase in loss from equity investment in the Company's equity interest in Peak Gold, LLC, a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation (the "Peak Gold JV"), as the Peak Gold JV moved into the development phase in early 2022, and has been incurring costs in preparation for the first production at the Manh Choh mine in 2024.

The Company also announced that it raised $6.9 million in cash, as a result of some of its warrant holders early exercising their warrants. The Company's current cash balance is approximately $9.5 million. The Company also announced that it filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
