Gold Mountain Reports its Interim Q4 2025 Financial and Operating Results
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2025 / Gold Mountain Mining Corp. ('Gold Mountain' or the 'Company') (TSX:GMTN)(OTCQB:GMTNF)(FRA:5XFA) reports its financial and operating results for the three months and twelve months ended January 31, 2025 ('Q4 2025"). The Company's Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ('MD&A') are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars ("$") unless otherwise noted.
Change of Fiscal Year End
The Company announces a change to its fiscal year end from January 31 to March 31. Going forward, the Company's financial reporting periods will align with standard calendar quarters (March, June, September, December). This alignment is expected to enhance financial comparisons and benchmarking with industry peers, as many reporting issuers within the mining sector follow the same reporting cycle.
As a result of this change, the Company is releasing its interim financial and operating results for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2025. The Company will file audited financial statements for the 14-month transitional fiscal period ending March 31, 2025. These filings will be submitted by the end of June 2025, in compliance with National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations ('NI 51-102").
Further details regarding the change in fiscal year end, including the Company's interim reporting procedures, will be available in the Company's Notice of Change of Financial Year- End, prepared in accordance with section 4.8 of NI 51-102, which will be filed on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Highlights for the three months ended January 31, 2025
Low production results realized during the reporting period were directly attributable to the planned winter work program, which substantially reduced operations throughout the quarter. As a result, production from the Elk Gold Mine is consistent with the reduced activity level. The combination of lower stripping volumes and the anticipated lower gold production in Q4 2025 resulted in reduced unit costs compared to Q4 2024.
Summary of Financial Results
For the three months ended January 31, 2025 ('Q4 2025"), the Company recorded a net loss of $1.5 million, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024 ('Q4 2024"). The reduced loss in Q4 2025 was primarily due to greater metal sales volumes and higher realized gold prices, which resulted in an increase in revenue to $1.2 million, compared to $0.4 million in Q4 2024. Mine operating loss for Q4 2025 was $0.3 million, a significant improvement compared to the mine operating loss of $1.8 million in Q4 2024. The improvement reflects increased production volumes and better cost management during the quarter.

Corporate Update
During the twelve months ended January 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $13.2 million, reflecting ongoing operational challenges at the Elk Mine. Based on the Elk Mine operations and financial reporting for the twelve months ended January 31, 2025, the Company has commenced an internal review of its National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ('NI 43-101") compliant independent Technical Report for the Elk Mine titled 'National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report and Resource Update on the Elk Gold Project, Merritt, British Columbia, Canada' prepared by L. John Peters, P.Geo, Gregory Z. Mosher, P.Geo, and Marinus Andre De Ruijter, P. Eng, each an independent 'Qualified Person' as defined in NI 43-101, with an effective date of December 7, 2021, and a report date of January 21, 2022 (the 'Technical Report'). Accordingly, readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on the Technical Report or the resource estimate included therein until the Company has completed and reported on its internal review.
As part of its internal review, Gold Mountain intends to engage in various activities, including: infill drilling; drilling new holes as quality checks on historical works and findings; re-logging historical drill core; and evaluating existing drill core data. The Company anticipates completing the internal review by July 2025 and will provide an update in due course.
Gold Mountain also anticipates receiving the results of exploration drilling which has commenced on the 'Bullion Zone', an area located immediately north of the Siwash Pit. Preliminary observations support additional exploitation and expansion of the existing operational plan for that location.
Further, Gold Mountain looks forward to the Elk Mine resuming normal operations following spring melt and the completion of the internal review.

Boosting Social Security: A simple way to increase the average payment up to $1,000
Boosting Social Security: A simple way to increase the average payment up to $1,000 Show Caption Hide Caption Social Security uncertainty and policy changes are driving more people to file With a significant rise in Social Security applications, retirees face financial decisions influenced by legislation and economic concerns in today's climate. Scripps News Your monthly Social Security benefit is based primarily on your career earnings and when you claim benefits. The first one is pretty straightforward: The more you earn over the years, the more you pay in Social Security payroll taxes (up to a certain amount), and the larger you can expect your monthly benefit to be. Increasing your earnings, however, is much easier said than done. On the other hand, you're likely to have more control over the timing of your claim, and waiting until after your full retirement age (FRA) to collect Social Security will increase your monthly benefit. It's a simple move that could increase the average retiree's monthly payment by $1,000 or more. How delaying claiming benefits affects how much you receive Your FRA is the age at which you qualify for your full monthly benefit, or primary insurance amount (PIA). Think of your PIA as your base benefit, and from there, the Social Security Administration adjusts what you ultimately receive based on whether you claim before or after FRA. Delaying benefits past your FRA increases them by 2/3 of 1% monthly, or 8% annually, relative to your PIA. These delayed retirement credits will stack up until you reach age 70. But just as your benefit increases when claiming after FRA, it decreases if you claim before FRA. You can start collecting Social Security at 62, but doing so will reduce your monthly check by as much as 30%, again relative to your PIA. To see this dynamic in action, let's assume your PIA is $2,000 (the average monthly benefit for retired workers as of April was $1,997.97), and your FRA is 67. Claiming right at 62 would get you a benefit of $1,400. However, if you delay until 70, you'd be eligible to receive $2,480. So, for someone entitled to the average benefit as their PIA, waiting until 70 to claim is enough to get them more than $1,000 per month versus claiming at 62. For someone expecting a PIA of $3,000 instead of $2,000, the monthly difference between claiming at 70 ($3,720) versus 62 ($2,100) increases to $1,620. And you don't have to claim at only the extreme ends of this timeline. With the same $3,000 PIA, claiming at 69 gets you $3,480 while claiming at 63 gets you $2,250 — a $1,230 difference. If you want to do your own calculations, you can check your estimated benefit at different ages with your online Social Security Administration account. Should everyone delay benefits until 70? Although a higher monthly benefit is attractive and delaying benefits until 70 is a simple enough strategy, in theory, it's not the right move for everyone. First and foremost, if you need Social Security to cover essential expenses, then claim as soon as necessary. Stability should be your top priority. Even if you have other income streams (retirement accounts, pension, etc.), delaying Social Security until 70 may not be the best route if you're in poor health. This is why I always recommend people look at their break-even age to help with their decision. Your break-even age is when the total lifetime benefits from claiming at one age equals those from claiming at another age. If we continue with our first example and are deciding between claiming at 62 and claiming at 70 for someone collecting the average retired worker benefit, the break-even age is around 80 years and 5 months: Monthly Benefit Total Received at Age 80 Total Received at Age 80 and 5 Months Total Received at Age 81 $1,400 (claim at 62) $302,400 $309,400 $319,200 $2,480 (claim at 70) $297,600 $309,760 $327,360 In other words, for the decision to claim at age 62 versus age 70, this person only gets more in lifetime Social Security benefits if they live until at least 80-and-a-half years old. Even with an extra $1,080 per month when claiming at age 70, it takes time to make up for the years of missed benefits from waiting. Break-even age isn't the only factor to consider, but it's a helpful data, in addition to things like your health, savings and retirement goals. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Sturm Ruger CEO sees 2025 bottom line impacted by price repositioning moves
On June 13, Sturm, Ruger & Company provided a communication from Todd Seyfert, CEO, to its employees regarding his first 100 days and management's ongoing corporate strategy initiatives, the company disclosed in a regulatory filing. In the letter to employees, Seyfert stated in part: 'The last few months have been nothing short of transformative – and it's thanks to your focus, dedication, and belief in what we're building. As I have been doing since my first days as CEO, I wanted to update you all transparently and clearly about where I see our short-term and long-term future… With these bold moves, there comes a cost – both emotionally and financially. Change of this scale requires tough decisions, meaningful investment, and short-term impacts that we've chosen to take head-on to position Ruger for long-term strength… It is important to note that we are making these strategic decisions now – thoughtfully and intentionally – so that Ruger is positioned for consistency, stability, and profitable growth in 2026 and beyond. Yet, there will be a cost to the Company for 2025. We expect the expense-related to these initiatives to total approximately $15 million to $20 million over the remainder of the year. We additionally anticipate our price repositioning moves to impact our overall bottom line over that same period. Consequently, we currently believe that our results for the remainder of the year, before the one-time costs and expenses, will look more like prior periods, such as the latter part of 2019, where the Company continued to focus on executing its long-term strategy and delivering long-term value for shareholders in the face of broader industry challenges. These actions will be largely completed by the beginning of 2026, placing Ruger in a strong position for renewed growth and performance in the years to come. Importantly, none of this will slow our momentum when it comes to investing in what matters most, including aggressive new product development and expansion of capacity in areas where market demand exceeds our current ability to supply. We remain fully committed to profitable expansion, product innovation, agile responsiveness, and ensuring we meet the expectations of our customers and the marketplace.'
