Business Description: Gryphon Minerals Limited (GRY) is a minerals exploration company with a specific focus on gold, uranium and base metals. GRY’s flagship project is Banfora Gold Project in Burkina Faso, West Africa. GRY also has interests in projects located in Australia and West Africa.
Strategy Analysis: Recently, GRY divested its Australian assets to newly-formed gold exploration company Renaissance Minerals Limited ('Renaissance´) (ASX: RNS). The decision by Gryphon to divest its Australian projects supports the Company´s strategy to become a significant gold exploration and, over time, mining company in West Africa. In conjunction with GRY´s strategy of expanding its West African footprint, the Company launched an off-market takeover offer ('Offer´) for Shield Mining Limited ('Shield´) in June of this year. The acquisition of Shield has significantly enhanced Gryphon´s tenement holdings to in excess of 3,600km2 and places the combined entity in a very strong position with a well resourced and highly capable team ready to explore the Company´s highly prospective exploration assets
Gryphon Minerals reported positive cash flow of $20.04m for the quarter ended 31 December 2012. Operating cash flow for the period was $(9.14m). Payments for exploration and evaluation were $(7.58m). Investing cash flow was $(407,000). Financing cash flow was $29.59m. Cash in hand at the end of the quarter was $50.68m.
