Black Dragon Gold Corp (ASX:BDG) Reports Q1 2025 Financial Results and Project Updates
Financial Performance
Black Dragon Gold Corp (ASX:BDG) reported a comprehensive loss of CAD$375,598 for the first quarter of 2025, compared to CAD$220,754 in the same period last year. The company experienced an operating cash outflow of CAD$368,956, primarily due to increased costs associated with the Salave Gold Project. Total assets stood at CAD$1.2 million, while shareholders’ equity showed a deficit of CAD$2.7 million.
Project Developments
The company continues to advance the Salave Gold Project in Northern Spain, focusing on permitting and development efforts. Black Dragon Gold successfully extended its Sallave Investigation Permit until February 2028, allowing continued exploration in a favourable geological setting. Additionally, the company received an 18-hole drilling permit aimed at enhancing resource classification for mine planning and feasibility studies.
Strategic Initiatives
On December 17, 2024, Black Dragon Gold applied for strategic status under the new Proyectos de Interés Estratégico Regional (PIER) law in Asturias, Spain, to accelerate project development. The application is under review, with a decision expected in 2025. The company also faced a setback when its land re-zoning application was rejected by the Tapia de Casariego Town Council, a decision currently being challenged in the High Court of Justice in Asturias.
Asset Transactions
In 2024, Black Dragon Gold sold its Padbury Gold assets in Australia to Parbo Resources for AUD$150,000, retaining the Ivan Well tenement with early-stage exploration potential. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2025, the company converted 1,833,333 options into fully paid shares, raising CAD$49,278.
Future Outlook
Black Dragon Gold remains committed to developing the Salave Gold Project and exploring new opportunities. Subject to permitting success and adequate funding, the company plans to expand its exploration programme to identify additional mineralization zones.
