IGE Resources had sales of SEK 4.9 million in the first quarter: The Company had no sales in the corresponding quarter the previous year. All sales are attributable to diamond sales from the Cassanguidi, Angola mine.
EBITDA for the first quarter amounted to SEK -24.3 million, compared to SEK -23.4 million for the same period in 2010.
Operating expenses in the first quarter were at par with the 2010 first quarter and significantly reduced from the previous quarter. A cost cutting programme initiated in the first quarter is expected to further reduce operating costs in the coming months.
Progress at the Cassanguidi diamond mine was delayed by constant machinery
breakdowns, having a significant adverse effect on IGE's revenues in the period. Based on the uncertainty surrounding IGE's continued exposure in the Cassanguidi mine and its need for further financing, the Board of Directors has decided an extraordinary write down of the Cassanguidi project of SEK 92 million (net of tax) as a precautionary measure. The value of the assets in the balance sheet is now more in line with current market cap of the Company. The management and the Board have adapted a conservative approach with regard to the value of the assets in the balance sheet in order to avoid additional needs of impairments and to create an improved basis for value development going forward.
IGE Resources' total assets as per 31 March 2011 were SEK 365.6 million, compared to SEK 541.3 million at the end of 2010.
Net investments during the first quarter amounted to SEK 10.2 million (SEK 455.0 million in 2010's first quarter). The investments in the first three months of 2011 are mainly related to the advancement of the Rönnbäcken nickel project.
Cash flow during the first quarter was SEK -32.4 million (SEK -24.5 million in Q1 2010). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter was SEK 7.4 million.
A share issue in the form of a rights issue directed towards existing shareholders was initiated in the period, strengthening the Company's financial position and cash reserve (see below).
IGE's subsidiary IGE Nordic AB was restructured and renamed Nickel Mountain Resources AB ("Nickel Mountain"), with the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project as its primary mineral asset. Haywood Securities Inc. of Canada has been retained to act as financial adviser and lead agent for a contemplated initial public offering, which is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2011.
An updated preliminary economic assessment with respect to the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project was completed by SRK Consulting (Sweden) AB ("SRK") in April 2011. The updated preliminary economic assessment provides an independent evaluation of the Project in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and was reported in a technical report entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project, Sweden" dated as of April 7, 2011 (the "Technical Report") prepared by SRK. The Technical Report demonstrates the potential to commercially produce a very high grade nickel concentrate using open-pit mining and conventional technology.
A copy of the Technical Report is available on IGE Resources's website. The current resource estimate includes measured and indicated mineral resources of 277 million tonnes with an average total nickel content of 0.178% of which 0.107% is nickel in sulphide (Ni-AC) and inferred mineral resources of 279 million tonnes with an average total nickel content of 0.176% of which 0.104% is nickel in sulphide (Ni-AC).
The base-case pre-tax net present value ("NPV") of the project is estimated at USD 316 million using a long-term nickel price of USD 9.00 per pound (USD 19,841 per tonne) at a discount rate of 8% and a long-term SEK/USD exchange rate of 8.00. The pre-tax NPV at a discount rate of 8% ranges from USD 316 million to USD 1,572 million between nickel prices of USD 9.00/lb (USD 19,841 per tonne) and USD 12.00/lb (USD 26,455 per tonne), generating an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") and undiscounted cash flow ranging from 12.4% to 26.6% and from USD 1,701 million to USD 4,498 million, respectively.
The preliminary economic assessment is based on an initial 19 year life of mine with mill throughput capacity of 30 million tonnes of ore per annum, total capital costs of USD 1,548 million of which initial capital costs are USD 1,161 million, and a projected recovery of 80% of nickel in sulphides. The resultant concentrate, averaging 28% nickel content, is expected to supply an average annualized production of 26,000 tonnes (57.3 million lbs) of nickel and 760 tonnes (1.675 million lbs) of cobalt in concentrate.
The C1 cash operating cost will average USD 5.55 per pound (USD 12,235 per tonne) of payable nickel, as reported in the Technical Report. The C1 cash operating cost is net of byproduct credits, but includes freight, smelting, and refining charges. The cost to produce the concentrate "at mine gate" is USD4.16 per pound (USD 9,171 per tonne) of nickel contained.
Nickel Mountain continued preparing for an application for an exploitation concession on the Sundsberget deposit, including an Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA").
Since December 2010, Nickel Mountain has been studying the possibility of marketing a magnetite concentrate, a common feed in the steel industry. Testing to date has achieved production of a 62.4% Fe concentrate grade concentrate at a 70% magnetite recovery. Further work is required to determine the marketability and economic feasibility of production.
On January 10, 2011, Nickel Mountain Resources sold 1,000 shares of Nordic Iron Ore AB for a cash payment of SEK 500,000, reducing its interest to approximately 4%.
On February 23, 2011, Nickel Mountain Resources signed a purchase agreement with Northfield Exploration AB, whereby 90% of the Company's interest in the three exploration permits comprising the Stekenjokk project was transferred to Northfield Exploration AB with Nickel Mountain Resources retaining a 10% interest, and receiving a cash payment of SEK 500,000. Upon completion of a feasibility study by Northfield, Nickel Mountain Resources has the option to participate in project funding commensurate with its remaining 10% interest in the project, or convert its remaining interests to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty.
On March 31, 2011, Agnico Eagle advised Nickel Mountain Resources that it has elected to continue with the staged earn-in process regarding the Company's 50% holding in the Solvik copper-gold project, as detailed in the Letter of Understanding of October 7, 2010. On May 2, 2011, an Earn-In Agreement was signed with Agnico Eagle. Subject to a number of conditions, Agnico-Eagle can earn up to 80% of Nickel Mountain Resources' interest (equivalent to a 40% interest in the Solvik project) by funding further exploration work and completing a feasibility study on the Solvik project. In the event that a feasibility study is completed, Nickel Mountain Resources has the option to participate in project funding commensurate with its remaining 10% interest in the project, or convert its remaining interests to a 1.25% net smelter return royalty.
Insufficient financing and a number of difficulties on site have created an array of challenges for IGE Diamond, primarily in Angola.
After announcing its withdrawal from the Luxinge diamond project and the subsequent write-off of this project in the 2010 accounts, IGE has negotiated a release of its fully owned machinery and equipment on the mining site. To date, these efforts have proven fruitless.
The technical difficulties in the Cassanguidi mine, primarily caused by insufficient financing in 2010, have continued also in the first quarter. This has halted production and revenue generation in the mine. Diamonds representing SEK 4.9 million of revenues for IGE were sold in the quarter. In the first sale 1,407 carats were sold at an average price of USD 310 per carat. In the second sale 1,646 carats were sold, fetching an average price of USD 255 per carat.
The need for further financing in order to develop the Cassanguidi operation properly has made IGE decide that the Company, in its current state, will not progress the development of Cassanguidi as a sole investor. Consequently, discussions with potential partners have been initiated and are ongoing. As a precautionary measure, the Board has decided a SEK 141.7 million writeoff (net impairment loss after tax effect is SEK 92.0 million) on the Cassanguidi project.
The Bakerville, South Africa, diamond project was awarded mining right in January 2011. Separate financing of the project is a prerequisite for progressing with the development of this diamond asset. Discussions with potential Bakerville partners are initiated.
The Group considers Bakerville to be an attractive asset. The risks involved are significantly lower than in the Angolan projects. The diamonds identified and recovered so far demonstrate attractive sizes and grades. The license is also in an area with potential potholes, which if discovered, are likely to significantly increase project value.
The Harts River, South Africa and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) licenses are currently in a low cost/ slow progress mode.
IGE's diamond portfolio will not represent a significant cash outflow going forward. The cash draining projects seen in 2010 have been terminated or put on hold, awaiting financing decisions.
Initiatives are taken in order to improve operational efficiency and further reduce costs in IGE's diamond business area.
A full review of IGE's diamond strategy has been initiated and will be completed by the Board of Directors elected on the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter 2011 amounted to SEK 7.4 million, compared to SEK 16.4 million at the end of first quarter 2011. Total equity amounted to SEK 274.6 million (SEK 709.8 million) at the end of the reporting period, representing an equity ratio of 75 per cent (72 per cent the corresponding period of the previous year).
The Company's interest bearing long term debt is limited to SEK 5.2 million, of which SEK 5 million is a convertible loan, at end of the reporting period (SEK 22.6 million the corresponding period of the previous year)
IGE's net cash run rate during first quarter 2011 was just over SEK 10 million per month, which is a slight decline from 2010 run rate.
The negative cash flow is expected to be significantly reduced going forward. The contributing factors are the termination of Luxinge, Cassanguidi being put on hold and Nickel Mountain Resources being floated as a separate entity. Furthermore, adjustments in IGE's organisation and management resources at all levels will contribute to reduced operational expenditures.
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 lender.
In the first quarter IGE initiated a share offering in the form of a rights issue directed towards existing shareholders. The offering was fully guaranteed by a consortium of shareholders.
The subscription period ended on 30 May 2011, at which time new shares corresponding to gross proceeds of NOK 36.1 million were subscribed for. Additional proceeds of NOK 10.7 million are conditional of Board decision. The equity issue establishes a sufficient financial platform for IGE going forward.
IGE's cost base has, as described above, been significantly reduced and is expected to be further reduced in the near future.
Furthermore, the cost reduction programme initiated is expected to provide additional reduction of the Company's cash outflow.
The Board has also initiated a review of the Company's business strategy, adjusting operations towards early stage exploration, development and trading in commodity licenses. The aim is to reduce operational and financial risk while maintaining the value creation potential of the projects. IGE will actively seek to include investors in or divest current diamond projects.
In line with the partly revised strategy and in order to restore confidence in the company, the Board of Directors and Mr Tomas Fellbom in March agreed that Mr Fellbom should resign from his position as CEO. The Company's CFO Thomas Carlsson was appointed temporary CEO until a new permanent CEO for IGE Resources has been appointed.
The Parent Company's business activity is to manage the Group's operations. Result before tax during the first quarter of 2011 amounted to SEK – 118.3 million (-2.1). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 2.9 million (2.2). 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.
