Timberline reported a consolidated net loss of $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, including exploration expenditures of $34 thousand. The Company's exploration expenditures during the quarter continued to be curtailed; however, in June, the Company tripled the original amount of our non-brokered private placement and closed a $1.5 million equity financing which allowed us to initiate a metallurgical and geotechnical test program at Talapoosa in July 2016. The test program was designed to assess the potential to improve heap permeability and enhance gold and silver leach efficiency for the processing of the mineralized material at the Talapoosa gold and silver project in Lyon County, Nevada.
Timberline's President and CEO, Steve Osterberg, commented, "We are pleased to see continued strength in the gold market and the significant support for our financing in May and June. In July, we moved quickly to commence metallurgical and geotechnical testing at Talapoosa in order to further advance the project. We look forward to continuing the advancement and development of our assets."
