Contango ORE, Inc. (“Contango,” "CORE" or the “Company”) (NYSE American: CTGO) announced that it had a net loss of $(6.8) million, or $(1.01) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a net loss of $4.5 million or $(0.73) per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.
