Company: Contango Ore, Inc. (Note: Input metadata referenced "Contango Silver & Gold Inc.", but the filing identifies the registrant as Contango Ore, Inc.)
Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: September 12, 2022
Event: Regulation FD Disclosure regarding the release of a new corporate presentation titled "Corporate Update and Plans for 2022."
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The report serves as a disclosure notice for a presentation containing non-GAAP financial measures rather than a financial statement itself.
Material Changes and Non-GAAP Measures
- Non-GAAP Disclosure: The attached presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to GAAP are not included due to the inherent difficulty and impracticality of quantifying certain amounts.
- Joint Venture Data: Certain non-GAAP measures relate to Peak Gold, LLC, a joint venture in which the Company holds a 30% interest. These figures were prepared by partner Kinross Gold Corporation based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Company stated it lacks access to detailed information required to quantify comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Forward-Looking Statements: The presentation contains statements regarding future actions, strategies, operating performance, and the ability to realize benefits from transactions with an affiliate of Kinross Gold Corporation.
- Risk Factors: Management cautions that actual performance may differ materially from projections due to substantial risks and uncertainties, referencing the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis" sections of the Company's Form 10-K and 10-Q filings.
- Legal Status: The information in the presentation is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and is not incorporated by reference into other filings.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific non-GAAP metrics and the rationale for their exclusion from GAAP reconciliation in the "Corporate Update and Plans for 2022" presentation (Exhibit 99.1).
- Review the Company's most recent Form 10-K and 10-Q for detailed risk factors and GAAP financial results.
- Assess the impact of the 30% interest in Peak Gold, LLC and the reliance on Kinross Gold Corporation's IFRS-based data.
- Confirm the status of transactions with Kinross Gold Corporation affiliates mentioned in the forward-looking statements.
