The cash drain stretches back six years, which means the accountants investigating the issue will have their work cut out to allow the company to publish financial results ahead of the set date, June 30.
The Brazil-focused gold miner has found unexplained cash withdrawals in the past six years totalling $200,000.
The announcement comes as Serabi announced results of recent exploration drilling at its Palito gold mine, located in the Tapajos region of the State of Para.
Drilling on the Mogno and Ipe veins has confirmed depth extensions over 100 metres below the lowest mined level at the Palito.
The Tapajos region is reported to be the world’s third largest alluvial gold field and Serabi Gold has focused efforts on the area, which believes it to be a “major, under-explored” mineral province.
Historical data shows that artisanal miners, called “garimpeiros,” have mined about 30 million ounces of gold mostly from alluvial and surface weathered bedrock deposits in the region since the 1970s.
