A total of 13,654 Carats of rough diamonds were sold in the third quarter. Of this volume 6,045 Carats originated from the exploration phase at the Luxinge mine. By the end of the third quarter, IGE had sold a total of 19,822 Carats in 2010. Prices at all auctions were in line with expectations.
July and August were record breaking months for Cassanguidi in terms of carats recovered. During the month of July an average of 98.7 Carats per day were recovered, in August this improved to 115 Carats per day. Monthly production ended at 3,081 Carats in July and 3,576 Carats recovered in August.
September performance was hit by technical problems, in addition to reduced output resulting from the reconfiguring of the plant and installation of new equipment as part of the preparations for increased production at the mine. September production ended at 2,489 Carats.
New equipment was brought into the mine, in addition to a shipment of critical spares for the processing plant and earthmoving machinery.
The reconfiguration of the Cassanguidi mine includes consolidating the original plant located close to the Cassanguidi river, and mine infrastructure and the newer plant located approximately 5 km to the north. The rationale for this is to optimise the management required to operate the two plants and increase general redundancy of the operation.
The Cassanguidi investment budget has been significantly increased in order to secure the necessary equipment and spare parts, enabling the mine to pursue a production programme targeting 9,000 Carats per month in the second half of 2011. Equipment and spare parts are now brought in as quickly as practically possible. Management attention is also on attracting and retaining experienced and reliable crew.

Production Statistics:
The mine was officially inaugurated at the end of July and the new Company owning and operating the mine established. IGE holds a 31% interest and management control in this Company but is entitled to 100% of the cash flow from the project until IGE's total investment in the project is repaid. The first parcel of sample diamonds was sold in August.
Trial mining operations were carried out in the third quarter in search of higher grade areas, with the current grade being disappointingly low. These efforts have so far proven unsuccessful, further questioning the project economics of the Luxinge operation. Trial mining has also demonstrated the logistical and operational inefficiencies of the Luxinge project, furthermore the company structure is suboptimal.
2 IGE is therefore considering closing down the Luxinge operation and has initiated discussion with its partners to

One sale of diamonds from the Luxinge project has been executed so far. The diamonds produced subsequent to the sale of September is stored and will be sold at the next opportunity to sell granted to IGE.
The approval process for the Bakerville license is moving forward and an award is expected by January 2011.
The plant design has been refined to provide the required throughputs with the ranges of material present on the project. Water and power supplies are being worked on to attain an optimal solution, an effort is also being made to minimise the power and water requirement. Sonic drilling is being done to delineate the deeper pothole gravels. This will inform the mining plan at the start up. Finalisation of the processing plant and mining fleet are underway.
The recent global currency turbulence have negatively impacted this project through the appreciation of the Rand against the US Dollar. This will increase the Bakerville Capex by approximately 16% and have the inverse effect on the revenues. A revision of this projects costing and viability under the current conditions is being undertaken.
A drilling program was undertaken on the Harts River project in South Africa primarily to ensure compliance with DMR's licensing requirements.
No significant developments have been reported from the Longatshimo and Tshikapa projects in the Democratic Republoc of Congo.
IGE Diamond will in the near term focus on fast-tracking production at the Cassanguidi mine. The investment budget for this mine for the next few months has been doubled to USD 4 million. This should enable the mine to expand from its current monthly output of 3,000 Carats to a production of 9,000 Carats per month by the third quarter 2011.
The Luxinge operation will most likely be sold or closed down, reflecting the fact that the diamond grade found at Luxinge and the operational structure do not support sustainable operations.
The development of the Bakerville project continues according to plans, with an award expected in the next couple of months. Bakerville will be ready to come on stream in the second quarter 2011, pending a favourable market for high grade diamonds and the Rand/USD currency situation.
Other diamond projects in the portfolio take priority after successfully building revenue at Cassanguidi and preparing Bakerville for production.
Following highly encouraging drilling results, the exploration target for the Rönnbäcken nickel project in Sweden was raised to 600-650 million tonnes in September. Exploration activity continued in three priority target areas and results further underpin IGE's drive for increased project value.
Ore mineralogy work commenced to complement resource estimation work and mineral processing lab work commenced on concentrate quality improvement and potential by-product production.
The Geological Survey of Sweden has classified the Rönnbäcken nickel deposits "an Area of National Interest for Mineral Extraction". Dialogue with local stakeholders continued also in the third quarter.
Hatch Corporate Finance was retained to execute a process to secure additional financing of the nickel project. IGE is looking to secure a strategic investor in the project, primarily to finance and accelerate the Pre-Feasibility Study, estimated to cost USD 15 million. Hatch's mandate is to prepare and execute a private placement in a subsidiary of IGE Resources, Nickel Mountain AB, which owns the assets of the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project, in exchange for a minority interest. Hatch Corporate Finance is an independent corporate finance advisory firm focused on the metals and mining sectors.
After the end of the third quarter an update of the Mineral Resource Estimate of the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project was carried out by Mitchell River Group (MRG). The Mineral Resource Estimate includes a new component from the Sundsberget deposit that has been the focus of exploration drilling during the summer field season. The total Project Mineral Resource now includes a total of:
The updated resource estimate represents a significant increase to the previous estimate prepared in April 2010. The new resource validates the exploration target of 600 to 650 million tonnes at a grade of 0.10 to 0.15% nickel in sulphides announced by IGE Resources in September.
The Mineral Resource update undertaken by MRG utilized all available and valid data as of the start of October, 2010. In line with the methodology used by SRK in the announcement dated 22nd April 2010, a nickel price of USD9.00/lb was assumed in a whittle open pit optimisation exercise to limit the material reported to that which MRG considers has reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction and applied a cut-off grade of 0.05% Ni-AC representing the calculated marginal cut-off grade for the deposits.. The Mineral Resource Statement was classified in accordance with the Guidelines of National Instrument 43-101, and accompanying documents 43- 101.F1 and 43-101.CP.
The updated Mineral Resource shown in Table 1, adds Inferred Resources of 185.7 million tonnes (Mt) with an average total nickel content of 0.176% of which 0.104% is nickel in sulphide (Ni-AC) found in a new potential open pit mining area at Sundsberget. This significant additional tonnage validates the exploration target of 600 to 650 million tonnes at a grade of 0.10 to 0.15% nickel in sulphides.

Work has begun towards preparing an application for an exploitation concession for the Sundberget deposit. An Exploitation Concession is granted if there is a probability for an economic exploitation of the deposit and if the site is considered appropriate from an environmental point of view. The latter requirement calls for an Environmental Impact Assessment to be included in the application. The Exploitation Concession grants the right to carry out mineral exploitation for a 25 year period.
A small scale ore mineralogy program was initiated at GTK to understand ore variability around the resource in order to improve geological resource interpretations and form a basis for the PFS metallurgical variability program.
A modest lab program has been initiated at Outotec to identifiy parameters to improve Ni/Mg selectivity in the product concentrate. These will be subject to optimisation in the future PFS metallurgical program. This program also includes follow up tests to determine the preliminary feasibility of producing a by-product magnetite concentrate.
IGE Nordic has signed a Letter of Understanding with Agnico-Eagle Sweden AB which will allow Agnico-Eagle to earn an interest in IGE Nordic AB's 50% interest in the Solvik property by way of a staged earn-in process. Subject to a number of conditions, Agnico-Eagle can earn up to 80% of IGE Nordic AB's interest (equivalent to a 40% interest in the Solvik property) by funding further exploration work and completing a feasibility study of the property. In the event that a feasibility study is completed, IGE Nordic has the option to participate in project funding commensurate with its remaining 10% interest in the property, or convert its remaining interests to a 1.25% Net Smelter Return.

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.
IFRS 3R, Business Combinations and IAS 27R, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements adopted by the EU on 3 June 2009). IFRS 3R introduces a number of changes in the reporting of business combinations that will affect the level of reported goodwill, the reported result in the period in which the combination takes place as well as future reported results. IAS 27R requires changes in shareholdings in a subsidiary whereby the majority shareholder does not lose its control to be recognised in equity. This means that such transactions no longer give rise to goodwill or result in any gains or losses. In addition, IAS 27R changes the reporting of losses arising in subsidiaries and measurement when control of a subsidiary is lost. IGE intends to apply this standard as of 1 January 2010. The revisions to IFRS 3R and IAS 27R will affect the reporting of future acquisitions and divestitures as well as transactions with minority shareholders.
Other standards and interpretations of existing standards that have come in to effect as from January 1st 2010 are appraised not to have any impact on the account of IGE.
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 write down a part of its non core assets as a result of that they are considered difficult to give a correct value and that they will not be subject to additional funding by IGE. 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.

Revenue from sales is related to sales of rough diamonds recovered from IGE projects.
Other income constitutes of currency gains related to inter company balances. SEK 15,2 million during 2009 is related to a sale of IGE's 50% ownership of Kilimapesa Gold in Kenya.
Other operating expenses are referable to a capital loss from sales of an exploration permit in IGE Nordic.
The positive amount reported is a reversal of a provision related to deferred tax liabilities.
For information about currently outstanding share warrants and call options the Company refers to the latest annual report of the Group (2009).
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 liabilities are calculated as the local tax rate of each project times the surplus value referable to each acquired project.
Other Provisions are related to an estimated cost of mine site reclamation.
Interest bearing long-term liabilities refer 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) and has a duration of 3 years. The loan was raised in June 2008.
In addition Efidium Ltd has a loan of SEK 6.7 million to Pangea Exploration (Pty) Ltd, a South African registered company, that agreed to provide a loan facility to the Company for the purposes of funding the running costs and any required capital expenditure of the group. The loan to Pangea Exploration (Pty) Ltd has been fully repaid after the expiration of the interim period.
In June 2010, IGE issued a convertible loan that provided the Company with an amount of totally MSEK 5 to Norrlandsfonden. The convertible loan was issued based on the following conditions:
17 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 112 thousand during the third 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 is the Chairman of IGE Resources AB.
