The nine-month profit was hurt by higher zinc prices, as well as the decline in sales volumes of copper and gold.
This was coupled with the increased cost of sales due to high amortization and raw materials expenses as well as soaring general and administrative expenses. This came as the company posted stock-based compensation expenses for employees.
However, this drop was offset by a rise in gold prices, zinc sales volumes, and other income, along with lower selling and marketing expenses.
