Financial results

IGE Resources had sales of SEK 0.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to SEK 6.3 million in the same quarter last year. All sales are attributable to diamond sales from the Cassanguidi, Angola mine.

EBITDA for the second quarter amounted to SEK -21.5 million, compared to SEK -17.1 million for the same period in 2010.

Operating expenses in the second quarter were significantly lower than in the corresponding period in 2010. A cost cutting programme initiated early 2011 is expected to further reduce operating costs in the coming months.

At the end of the second quarter, all cash outflow related to the Angolan diamond operations has been stopped. Furthermore, overhead expenses have been significantly reduced, at corporate level as well as in the nickel and diamonds business areas.

The Company withdrew its IPO of Nickel Mountain Resources AB in June. The IPO preparations and the decision to withdraw had an adverse effect on Group results in the second quarter.

The decision to withdraw from the diamond mining operations related to the Cassanguidi project in Angola resulted in extraordinary write-downs of SEK 23.2 million in the second quarter, mainly related to retired equipment in the Cassanguidi mine.

IGE Resources' total assets per 30 June 2011 were SEK 389.5 million, compared to SEK 1,002.0 at the end of second quarter 2010.

Net investments during the second quarter amounted to SEK 6.3 million (SEK 38.7 million in 2010's second quarter). The investments in the first six months of 2011 are mainly related to the advancement of the Rönnbäcken nickel project.

Cash flow during the second quarter was SEK -6.4 million (SEK -9.8 million in Q2 2010). Proceeds from the May rights issue were not available to IGE until early July, delaying payment of short term debt to be paid after the expiration of the second quarter. This has reduced the negative cash flow during the second quarter significantly. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter was SEK 56.2 million.

The mentioned equity issue, in the form of a rights issue directed towards existing shareholders in combination with an oversubscription issue, was carried out in May. The proceeds from the rights issue were used to strengthen the Company's financial position and cash reserve. The share issue provided gross proceeds of SEK 55.1 million. 2,348,649,150 new shares were subscribed for and issued at a price of NOK 0.02 per share.

Operations; nickel

The contemplated Initial Public Offering of IGE's subsidiary Nickel Mountain Resources AB was withdrawn due to unfavourable market conditions. IGE Resources is currently exploring alternative financing options for the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project, both for the shorter and the longer term. An IPO, when financial markets have recovered, remains an option for Nickel Mountain Resources (NMR).

In the interim, the project schedule has been revised until further financing is secured.

In the interim, the project schedule will be subject to revisions until further financing is secured.

Work is in progress to finalize the application for an Exploitation Concession for the Sundsberget deposit. The application is expected to be submitted to the Mining Inspectorate of Sweden in the fourth quarter of 2011. Water sampling baseline studies, required for the Environmental Permit, are ongoing.

The next phase of laboratory testwork to study the feasibility of producing a magnetite concentrate by-product from the tails of the nickel flotation circuit is planned to start in mid-September, 2011. Separation tests will be carried out at the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) in collaboration with Outotec. The planned testwork will aim to improve the iron grade and reduce impurities. Tests performed

in the first quarter of 2011 achieved magnetite concentrate grades of 62% Fe.

The budget to complete the Prefeasibility Study (PFS) for the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project has been revised to approximately USD 8.5 million by SRK Consulting (Sweden) AB, based on the assumption that most of the in-fill drilling and geotechnical drilling can be deferred to the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). Also, the PFS budget estimate does not include the costs to complete the application for an environmental permit.

At NMR's Annual General Meeting on July 25, 2011, a new Board of Directors was elected for the subsidiary. IGE Resources' Chairman, Tim George, is now also Chairman of NMR. Board members are Thomas Carlsson, Olle Johansson and Paul Sagberg.

Operations; diamonds

During the second quarter IGE terminated all costs related to the Cassanguidi diamond mine. This move concluded IGE's involvement in Angola diamond mining. After the end of the quarter, IGE has also negotiated a sale of its Longatshimo diamond mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

These initiatives enable IGE to focus on the three remaining diamond projects in its portfolio: Bakerville and Harts River in South Africa and Tshikapa in DRC.

While the Harts River and Tshikapa licenses are on hold for the moment, IGE is cautiously moving forward with the Bakerville project while holding discussion with potential partners for a build-up to full commercial production in the mine.

Earlier exploration in Bakerville was concentrated primarily on the top 50cm of the surface material. Exploration confirmed the presence of an extensive diamond gravel deposit in the surface layer, which has a verified resource base of 454,000 carats and an additional potential resource of 579,000 carats.

The diamonds previously recovered were sold at an average price of USD 369/Ct. since then there has been a considerable increase in the prices attained for rough diamonds.

An economic viability study concluded that the volume and value of the contained and

potential additional resource is sufficient to support a profitable mine.

An additional component to the Bakerville property has the potential to further increase the project's value. A dolomite base underlies the area within which are vertical fissures developed along joints. Within the fissures deep holes, commonly referred to as potholes, formed which were filled with diamond bearing gravels.. In the area surrounding the Bakerville property, a series of different operators have had significant successes mining a number of these potholes.

During the surface sampling program, a number of these structures were uncovered and limited testing carried out on them. The results from these tests produced grades that were multiples of the surface gravels. The impact of these higher-grade areas have not been quantified nor included in any of the projections.

To strengthen the financial parameters of the Bakerville project, IGE is now carrying out limited testing of an identified pothole. This will quantify the grade and value of the diamonds contained in these structures, and provides valuable information for inclusion in the mining and processing designs.

Financial position

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter 2011 amounted to SEK 56.2 million, compared to SEK 26.2 million at the end of second quarter 2011. Total equity amounted to SEK 275.3 million (SEK 730.3 million) at the end of the reporting period, representing an equity ratio of 71 per cent (73 per cent the corresponding period of the previous year).

The Company's interest bearing long term debt is limited to SEK 6.6 million, of which SEK 5 million is a convertible loan, at end of the reporting period (SEK 32.6 million the corresponding period of the previous year).

IGE's net cash run rate during the second quarter 2011 was just over SEK 2 million per month, which is a significant reduction from

2010 run rate. This is caused by the cost cutting programme along with the deferment of payments due to the late availability of funds from the rights issue.

IGE has decided not to carry the cash effects of developing mineral or diamond projects on a stand-alone basis in the future. None of the Company's current projects will be commissioned before they are fully financed by a partner, financial investor or creditor.

Group outlook

IGE's cost base has, as described above, been significantly reduced during the first half year of 2011 and is expected to be further reduced.

The main priorities for IGE are now to continue the efforts to secure adequate financing for the completion of the Prefeasibility Study (PFS) of Rönnbäcken Nickel project. Several alternatives are being evaluated. Based on the current market conditions and the valuation of the Group, the Board will seek to avoid a significant dilution of IGE's existing shareholders, as the Board remains convinced that the completion of the PFS will add considerable value to the project.

The activities with the diamond business area will in the next months be focused on the Bakerville project. The drill program on potential potholes will be completed in the next months, providing additional information on the Bakerville resource and preparing for mine and processing planning.

In parallel, IGE is continuing its discussions with potential partners for the Bakerville diamond project.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's business activity is to manage the Group's operations. Result before tax during the second quarter of 2011 amounted to SEK -3.7 million (-4.2). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 54.8 million (12.0). Investments in the Parent Company during the reporting period amounted to SEK 0 million (0).

The shares of IGE Resources AB (publ.) are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, ticker symbol IGE. This Interim report has not been subject to review by the Company's auditors.

3. Depreciations and impairments

12. Convertible loan to Norrlandsfonden

In June 2010, IGE issued a convertible loan that provided the Company with an amount of totally SEK 5 million to Norrlandsfonden. The convertible loan was issued based on the following conditions:

  • The maturity date of the convertible loan was set to August 31, 2018.
  • The loan runs with an annual interest rate of STIBOR 90 (Stockholm Interbank Offering Rate) plus an interest surcharge of 4% to be paid quarterly.
  • In case of conversion, the conversion rate per share will be SEK 0.70.
  • IGE has got the right to repay the loan in cash in advance at any time during the duration of the loan. IGE will then be forced to pay a compensation for the lost interest to Norrlandsfonden of 15% (on an annual basis) on the loan amount during the period that it has been utilised by IGE.

If fully converted the convertible loan will result in that an additional 7,142,857 shares will be issued (a dilution of about 0.2%)

13. Interest bearing short-term liabilities

Interest bearing short-term liabilities refers to a loan given by Svenska Handelsbanken AB for the purchase of equipment from Volvo to the production site in Luxinge, Angola.

Mace Consult is a related party on behalf of its Managing Director, Magne Aaby who is a member of the board in IGE.

15. Correction of errors in accounting

Incorrect accounting related to previously reported results from share of profit/loss from equity accounted companies has been corrected in this report. This has affected the result and balance sheet stated in this report for the comparative period during the previous year. The previously reported results from equity accounted companies held by Nickel Mountain Resources have been corrected. In addition the foreign exchange rate differences

arising from intercompany lending, previously reported as other external expenses, are from the Year End report 2010 and onwards recorded in exchange differences, as a separate component of equity. Further information can be obtained from the annual report of IGE for the financial year 2010.

16. New share issue

A share issue in the form of a rights issue directed towards existing shareholders in combination with an oversubscription part was carried out during the period, with a subscription period ended on 30 May 2011. The proceeds from the rights issue will be used to strengthen the Company's financial position and cash reserve. The share issue provided the Company with SEK 55.1 gross of transaction costs. 2,348,649,150 new shares were subscribed for and issued at a price of NOK 0.02 per share.

The total amount of outstanding shares after the rights issue amounts to 4,154,267,960. The share capital increased to SEK 207,713,398. As the subscription price of the shares (SEK 0.023) was lower than the face value of the IGE share (SEK 0.05) the difference between the subscription price and the face value was covered by transfer from the company's share premium account according to the regulations of the Swedish Companies Act in order for the share capital, by the rights issue and the transfer from the share premium account, to increase with SEK 0.05 per subscribed, allocated and paid share.

17. Pledged assets

Nickel Mountain Resources AB entered into an agreement with Mitchell River Group Pty Ltd. ("MRG") of Australia to form a strategic partnership with MRG of Australia. Pursuant to the MRG Agreement, MRG agreed to provide experienced personnel, systems and technical resources for the development of the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project for a term of 18 months, commencing June 2010. MRG provides funding and management for early stage resource projects, and has a strong value development track record in nickel projects. MRG will absorb the majority of its own costs, thereby accepting project risk and having an incentive to build value in the project. In return, MRG has secured an option for 10 per cent of the Rönnbäcken project for an agreed upon cash payment. Overall control of the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project remains with

the IGE. To secure this loan, the Company agreed to grant MRG a fixed and floating charge over all the assets of the Company of 10 %. This agreement has not yet resulted in a formal pledge. The agreement was renegotiated during second quarter 2011. Prior to this re-negotiation, MRG held a 100% pledge over all the assets of Nickel Mountain Resources AB: That is the explanation to the

substantially higher amount reported as pledged assets during the comparative periods stated in this report.
