IGE Resources AB hereby announce adjusted and final financial results for 2010. The final year-end results are slightly adjusted from the preliminary results announced on 22 February 2011.
The change is mainly caused by the difficulties in valuating and recovering IGE's exploration and mining equipment in the Luxinge, Angola. IGE withdrew from the mine in December 2010. The Company has now made a full write-off of this equipment as a precautionary measure.
IGE has also corrected the results contribution from its subsidiary Nickel Mountain Resources AB.

IGE Resources had sales of SEK 4.3 million in the fourth quarter, while sales in the full year 2010 amounted to SEK 20.9 million. All sales are attributable to diamond sales from the Cassanguidi and Luxinge mines. The Company had no sales revenue in 2009.
EBITDA for the quarter amounted to SEK -64.1 million and SEK -149.8 million for the full year. Operating costs have increased significantly in 2010, reflecting increased activity in Cassanguidi and Luxinge mines during 2010 and a more capital intensive development phase in the Rönnbäcken nickel project.
The development of the Group's diamond assets in Southern Africa was extremely challenging during 2010. Despite considerable efforts and investments, the Luxinge diamond project turned out not commercially viable.
Also the partnership structure and business practice of several partners in the project have added to IGE's assessment of the Luxinge project. The Company therefore decided to withdraw from the project in December 2010.
The Board of Directors has made an extraordinary write down of the entire Angola diamond project portfolio (Cassanguidi not included) of SEK 128 million in the fourth quarter. In addition the book value of the equipment related to the Luxinge project was written off as a precautionary measure. The Board is not able, at this point, to assess the possibility of recovering the equipment. The negotiation is pending. Also, the Company lower the book values the Pangea/Efidium portfolio by means of impairment. The book value of the assets is impaired with an amount of SEK 211 million, bringing this portfolio of diamond assets more in line with current market cap of the Company, capital needs and operational challenges going forward. This has been done as a deed of conservatism and to create an improved basis for value development going forward.
Net investments during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 17.7 million (16.7). The investments during the period are mainly related to the advancement of the Rönnbäcken nickel project and investments related to the ramping up of the Cassanguidi diamond mine in Angola.
Cash flow during the fourth quarter was SEK -57.0 million (SEK -29.9 million in Q4 2009). The increased cash flow compared to previous period is a result of the ramp up of activities, mainly within the development of Rönnbäcken project related to the advancement of the pre feasibility process. Loans originating from the acquired Efidium have also been repaid during the quarter affecting the cash flow negative.
The Rönnbäcken nickel project made good progress also in the fourth quarter, with the completion of a NI 43-101 Resource Estimate of the Sundsberget deposit; an addition of 185 million tonnes of inferred mineral resources with an average total nickel content of 0.176% of which 0.104% is nickel in sulphide (Ni-AC) in October. The combined mineral resource estimate for the project now stands at 257 million tonnes (measured and indicated) with an average total nickel content of 0.180% of which 0.110% is nickel in sulphide (Ni-AC), and 269 million tonnes (inferred) with an average total nickel content of 0.176% of which 0.104% is nickel in sulphide (Ni-AC). The increased resource base suggests that IGE is moving closer to achieving the Rönnbäcken exploration target of 600-650 million tonnes at a grade of 0.10% to 0.15% nickel in sulphide.
A Prefeasibility Study on the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project was formally launched in November 2010 with completion targeted for the third quarter of 2012. Upon completion of exploration drilling, the focus of the drill program is expected to shift to non-exploration drilling. Initially, metallurgical comminution drilling is planned to take place to supply ore samples for autogenous grinding compatibility testwork. Geophysical surveys are also planned, as precursors to geotech drilling for tailings dam and mine pitwall stability testwork. Infill drilling is also planned, consistent with project and corporate objectives. Metallurgical testwork is planned to focus on improvement of nickel flotation concentrate quality. Lab testwork commenced in December 2010 at GTK, Finland, in cooperation with Outotec Finland aimed at producing a marketable iron ore concentrate byproduct from Rönnbäcken drill core.
After the expiration of the interim period IGE announced the completion of an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project which is wholly owned by its subsidiary Nickel Mountain Resources AB (former IGE Nordic). The Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) was prepared by SRK Consulting (Sweden) AB of Skellefteå, Sweden ("SRK") on behalf of Nickel Mountain Resources AB (the "Company"). The Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") is considered by SRK to conform to the Canadian regulations of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
PEA highlights:
· Average annualized production of 26,000 tonnes of nickel and 760 tonnes of cobalt in concentrate based on an annual feed throughput of 30 million tonnes
· A Life of Mine ("LOM") of 19 years with a potential for this to increase following the delineation of further resources by ongoing exploration.
· Low stripping ratio of 0.72:1 (waste tonnes:ore tonnes)
· High grade sulphide concentrate containing 28% nickel
· Average LOM Mine Gate Operating Cost of US\$4.16/lb (US\$9,171/t) of nickel recovered to concentrate
· Average LOM C1 Cash Operating Cost of US\$5.55/lb (US\$12,200/t) of payable nickel net of by-product credits
· Estimated Start-up Capital Cost of US\$1,161 million, including working capital.
· Pre-tax NPV8% ranges from US\$316 million to US\$1,572 million between nickel prices of US\$9.00/lb and US\$12.00/lb generating an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") and cashflow range from 12.4% to 26.6% and from US\$1,701 million to US\$4,498million respectively.
IGE's subsidiary IGE Nordic AB was renamed to Nickel Mountain Resources AB (NMR), with the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project as its primary mineral asset. NMR is currently preparing to apply for a listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), during the second quarter 2011. The TSX is the leading exchange for public mining companies. A listing of NMR on the TSX would provide exposure to investors specializing in junior base metals companies and provide a professional and transparent valuation of its nickel project.
IGE's diamond assets have as described above been significantly devaluated in the fourth quarter. The write-down of diamond assets is conducted mainly on the basis of the unsuccessful Luxinge project in Angola and a thorough evaluation of the portfolio of diamond projects acquired through the Pangea/Efidium acquisition.
The Luxinge project was awarded mining license in the second quarter of 2010. Mining operations in the third and fourth quarter demonstrated that the diamond recoveries failed to match the expectations established by the earlier bulk sampling results. Furthermore, an external audit initiated by IGE identified onsite operational inefficiencies and procedural shortcomings which would require significant restructurings and investments. It is also IGE's opinion that the Luxinge partner model and its administrative requirements challenge the viability of the project. The Luxinge project has been managed by a joint administrative body in which all partners are represented, according to their respective stake in the project. All key management and administrative decisions are made through this body. IGE is a minority partner in the Luxinge project and has been represented accordingly.
Since 2007, IGE's total investment in Luxinge amounts to USD 15 million, of which USD 6
million are in equipment which remains IGE's property.
Following a thorough review of the Angola diamond assets, IGE has decided a write-down also of its Cariango, Luanguinga and Lacage diamond projects. Total write-down for the Angolan projects (Cassanguidi not included) amounts to SEK 128 million. In addition the company has impaired the book value of the investment guarantees related to the Angolan projects. IGE considers these deposits doubtful receivables, as the contracts related to the projects are restored.
The Cassanguidi diamond project is moving towards full commercial operations. The progress was however delayed in the fourth quarter due to installation of new equipment, machinery breakdowns and the mining operations going through an area which proved to be less attractive.
A total of 4,570 carats of rough diamonds were recovered from the Cassangudi mine in the fourth quarter. 3,896 carats of diamonds were sold in the quarter, at an average price of USD 176 per carat.
The mining operation has now moved into a more promising area of the mine and the configuration of Cassanguidi's two processing plants been revised and they have both been consolidated at a central location. This has resulted in improved efficiencies in processing, reduced management requirements and increased redundancy of processing equipment. Additional mining and processing equipment has been delivered to the site.
In the Bakerville project preparations for commercial operations move forward. The mining and processing plans are being designed and negotiations with suppliers were initiated in the fourth quarter. Several exploration pits over the entire prospecting and mining right areas were made and geologically logged in the fourth quarter.
The Bakerville project was awarded mining right by South African authorities in January 2011. As preparations move forward, IGE will monitor the project economics and the diamond market closely in order to determine the optimal time for start-up of the Bakerville mine.
Final preparations and start-up will require an addition SEK 60 million investment by IGE. A start-up is therefore dependent on further financing of the project.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2010 amounted to SEK 40.2 million, compared to SEK 40.8 million at the end of 2009. Total equity amounted to SEK 395.4 million (298.2) at the end of the reporting period, representing an equity ratio of 73 per cent (93 per cent the previous year).
The Company's interest bearing long term debt is limited to SEK 5.3 million, of which SEK 5 million is a convertible loan, at year-end (SEK 5.8 million the previous year)
IGE's net cash run rate during 2010 was just over SEK 6 million per month. For 2011 the run rate is expected to be positively affected by diamond revenue, the termination of Angolan projects, an internal cost cutting programme and the planned Toronto listing of the Rönnbäcken project.
IGE's investment programme for 2011 totals SEK 160 million, of which SEK 93 million is attributable to the Rönnbäcken project and SEK 60 million is planned investments in the Bakerville project. Both these projects will seek separate financing.
The Rönnbäcken project is expected to move forward according to plan and find financing of the next development steps through a Toronto listing. The Pre-Feasibility Study is scheduled for completion during the third quarter 2012.
The refocusing of the diamond business is expected to provide a significant cost reduction compared to 2010.
The build-up of commercial operations at the Cassanguidi mine are well underway following a challenging fourth quarter. Provided sufficient financing, the mine is expected to reach its 7,000 carats production target by the end of the year 2011.
Provided sufficient financing, the Bakerville is expected to be prepared for commercial operations during the second quarter 2011 and ready to go live when the Company finds that conditions are optimal.
IGE announced in the end of March that the Company's Board proposes a 100% guaranteed rights issue amounting to NOK 36.1 million. The share issue will be directed towards existing shareholders in IGE.
The Board announced a new EGM to be held on 19 April 2011 that shall decide on the proposed rights issue as well as on other items.
According to the Board's proposal the subscription price for the shares to be issued will be NOK 0.02 per share. As a result IGE will issue approximately 1.8 billion new shares, representing about 50 per cent of all outstanding IGE shares after completion of the issue.
Furthermore, the new EGM is proposed, subject to that the rights issue will be oversubscribed, to decide on an additional share issue of approximately up to 900 million shares at a subscription price of NOK 0.02, This issue will be directed to participants in the proposed rights issue that have not been allotted all the subscribed shares (so called oversubscription issue.
IGE's Board of Directors has initiated a cost reduction programme aiming to reduce IGE's operational costs significantly. The Board has also initiated a review of the Company's business plan, adjusting operations towards early stage exploration, development and trading in commodity licenses. IGE will actively seek to divest or include investors in current diamond projects.
The Board will also propose the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2011, to decide on the distribution of shares in Nickel Mountain Resources AB (NMR) to IGE's shareholders. The Board's proposal will include approximately 50 per cent of the NMR shares held by IGE Resources (i.e. approximately 13 million shares in NMR). In doing so, the Board offers IGE shareholders an opportunity to participate also directly in the nickel resource project now being prepared for a listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The distribution of NMR shares will be scheduled so that the record day for the distribution will be after the rights issue has been registered and the new shares have been transferred to the subscribers. This enables the subscribers participating in the rights issue to participate in the distribution of NMR shares.
In line with the partly revised strategy and in order to restore confidence in the company the Board of Directors of IGE Resources and Mr Fellbom agreed that Tomas Fellbom should
resign from his position as CEO as per end of March. The Company's CFO Thomas Carlsson was appointed as CEO until a new permanent CEO for IGE Resources is identified.
The Parent Company's business activity is to manage the Group's operations. Result before tax during the fourth quarter 2010 amounted to SEK - 491.4 million (-11.2). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 32.4 million (1.2). 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.

This interim report has been prepared according to Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Reporting. The interim report has also been prepared in accordance with the rules in the Swedish Financial Accounting Standard RFR2. During 2010, the same accounting principles have been applied in this report as in the annual report prepared for the financial year 2009 with the following exceptions (see below) referring to new or revised standards, interpretations and changes adopted by the European Union (EU) which are applied from 1 January, 2010. Only the new or revised standards which have had an impact on the Group are described below.
The Interim report does not contain all the information and disclosures available in the annual report and the interim report should be read together with the annual report for 2009.
Exchange differences occurring as a result of intercompany transactions have in previous reports been affecting the operating result in the income statement. The effects are during periods significant which results in that the result of the Group becomes misleading and difficult to understand and analyse. The accounting policy regarding exchange differences related to intercompany transactions is changed as per this report. Exchange differences are recognised in equity as from the fourth quarter report 2010. See note 16 for the effects of the change of accounting principles.
The operations of IGE involve certain significant risks, including but not limited to credit risk, foreign exchange risk, and political risk. For a complete discussion of the aforementioned risks, refer to the Company's 2009 annual report, available on the IGE website, www.ige.se. The management of IGE does not consider that any additional risk has become current since the expiration of the previous year of operation.
IGE has decided to withdraw from the alluvial diamond project, Luxinge in Angola. The company has pending discussions with its partners in the project with the aim to withdraw from the project in the most efficient way. The diamond recoveries and grades since the June 2010 granting of the Luxinge mining permit have not matched the expectations established by the earlier bulk sampling results. A recent external audit initiated by IGE, identified on-site operational inefficiencies and procedural shortcomings which would require significant restructuring and thus add further complexity to any decision to continue subsidising operations.
Write downs are made of IGE's non core assets as a result of that the future value of the assets is considered to be difficult to give a correct value. The Board has decided to not continue financing the further development of the exploration of the projects. The main part of the write down is referable to mineral interests in Kenya and IGE Nordic's shares in the associated company Norrsken Energy Ventures.
In addition the book value of the projects purchased through the acquisition of the Efidium Group has been assessed by means of impairment tests. As the share price has deteriorated significantly over the latest month accounting recommendations suggests that the assets of the Company should be impaired as duty of care. The tests suggested a need of a write down of book value of the diamond portfolio in Efidium amounting to MUSD 196.8. Calculations of net present value are related to a significant uncertainty and the result is based on a number of assumptions. The Company has, despite the uncertainty, decided to adopt a conservative approach towards the valuation of the Group's assets. The Company decided to adjust the book value of the assets to comply with the result of the impairment test.

Revenue from sales is related to sales of rough diamonds recovered from IGE projects.
Other income during 2010 constitutes of currency gains. During 2009 the main part of the item is related to a sale of IGE's 50% ownership of Kilimapesa Gold in Kenya, affecting other income with SEK 14.9 million. The remaining part is referable to currency gains from intercompany lending.
Other operating expenses are referable to a capital loss from sales of exploration permits in Nickel Mountain Resources AB (former IGE Nordic AB) and a write down of investment guarantees related to the diamond licenses held in Angola.
The positive amount reported is a reversal of a provision related to deferred tax liabilities. The reversal occurs as a result of impairments of the assets that the provision is related to.
The deferred tax liabilities are calculated as the local tax rate of each project times the surplus value referable to each acquired project.
It is inherent in the recognition of an asset that its carrying amount will be recovered in the form of economic benefits that flow to the entity in future periods. When the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its tax base, the amount of taxable economic benefits will exceed the amount that will be allowed as a deduction for tax purposes. This difference is a temporary difference and the obligation to pay the resulting income taxes in future periods is a deferred tax liability. As the entity recovers the carrying amount of the asset, the taxable temporary difference will reverse and the entity will have taxable profit. This makes it probable that economic benefits will flow from the entity in the form of tax payments.
The deferred tax that occurred as a result of the purchase of Efidium amounts to SEK 188,645 million.
Other Provisions are related to an estimated cost of mine site restoration.
For information about currently outstanding share warrants and call options the Company refers to the latest annual report of the Group (2009).
Interest bearing long-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. The loan is guaranteed by the Swedish Credit Exports Guarantee Board (EKN) with 3 years duration. The loan was raised in June 2008.
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:
If fully converted the convertible loan will result in that an additional 7,142,857 shares will be issued (a dilution of about 0.4%).
Mace Consulting has invoiced IGE SEK 69 thousand during the fourth quarter for services related to management assistance and market communication. Mace Consulting is a related party on behalf of its Managing Director,
Magne Aaby who is a member of the board in IGE.
The creditor of the long term liability of SEK 6.7 million is Pangea Exploration (Pty) Ltd. Pangea Exploration (Pty) Ltd is owned by a trust of which Robert Still is a trustee and a potential beneficiary and Anton Esterhuizen. Robert Still and Anton Esterhuizen are directors of the Lender and IGE Resources. The borrowing entity is a member of the IGE Group. As a consequence, this loan is considered to be between related parties, and is thus deemed a related party transaction. The loan has been fully repaid after the expiration of the interim period.
SEK 400 thousand was paid to John Afseth during the second quarter of 2010 for work carried out in relation the financing of the Group. John Afseth resigned as Chairman of IGE Resources AB in November 2010.
IGE concluded a purchase of 100% of the shares in Efidium Ltd on March 31st. The purchase price amounted to 495,399,057 shares, which corresponds to a value of SEK 426million as per the last trade on March 31 2010.
Efidium Ltd is a Group with assets and operations within the diamond sector in Angola, South Africa and the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). The Directors and management of IGE consider this purchase to be of great value to IGE, it strengthens the position of the Group significantly within the industry of diamond production and exploration. Efidium has got independently verified, SAMREC compliant, diamond resources of about 8.4 million carat. Cost reductions as a result of synergies between the two groups are also considered to be achieved after the merger of the two operations.
Below follows a summary of the balance sheet effects for the consolidated IGE Group that the purchase of Efidium gave rise to as per the purchase date of March 31st 2010.

Above table shows the preliminary acquisition analysis established by the closing of the purchase, 31st of March 2010. The final acquisition analysis established in conjunction with the Year end reporting of the IGE Group 31st of December 2010 resulted in a need of adjustment. The adjustment is shown in above table. The adjustment is a result of a lower corporate tax rate in Congo DRC compared to the rate used in the initial analysis. Costs related to the purchase amounts to 10,633 TSEK. The purchase price was based on a combination of the market cap of Pangea Diamondfields at the London AIM-stock Exchange at the time of the transaction and the number of carats verified within the different licences of Pangea's diamond portfolio that was included in the deal. The verified number of carats is based on the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on diamonds projects of IGE prepared for prepared for Pangea Diamondfields Plc by Venmyn Rand (Pty) Ltd.
Venmyn is an independent advisory company. Its consultants have extensive experience in preparing competent persons', technical advisers' and valuation reports for mining and exploration companies. Venmyn's advisors
have, collectively, more than 100 years of experience in the assessment and evaluation of mining projects and are members in good standing of appropriate professional institutions. The signatories to the technical report prepared for IGE/Pangea are qualified to express their professional opinions on the values of the mineral assets described.
Costs related to the acquisition of Efidium Ltd amounting to about SEK 10.6 million have been expensed in the income statement.
Incorrect accounting related to previously reported results from share of profit/loss from equity accounted companies has been corrected in this report.
