INTERNATIONAL GOLD EXPLORATION IGE AB (PUBL) Org. Reg. No 556227-8043

International Gold Exploration IGE AB ("IGE" or the "Company") announces results for the third quarter 2009 and for the period year to date, ended September 30, 2009.

Summary third quarter:

  • For the third quarter IGE reports a net loss of MSEK -19.4 or SEK -0.04 per share, compared to a gain of MSEK 0,4 in the third quarter of 2008. The result is affected by an exchange loss (non cash affecting) amounting to MSEK -23.9, the third quarter of 2008 included an exchange gain of MSEK 13.8. The Group reports a positive operating result of MSEK 4.2 during the 3rd quarter before exchange losses.
  • The effect from exchange losses was a result of a weakening of the USD in relation to the SEK during the period. It affected the value of the debt of the subsidiaries denominated in USD, in relation to claims in the parent company in SEK. The difference burdened the result of the Group during the period.
  • IGE completed the sales of its 50% owned associated company to Goldplat PLC. The consideration for the sales is MUS\$2.7 corresponding to MSEK 18,7.
  • IGE announced successfully completed Private Placement. During the period IGE successfully conducted a Private Placement resulting in net proceeds of MSEK 84 (including conversion of MSEK 20 in debt). Total number of outstanding shares after the registration of the private placement and the subsequent repair issue, conducted after the expiration of the reporting period, will be 795,709,953.
  • Two new directors of the board were proposed by major shareholders in IGE, John Afseth and Magne Aaby. They were elected by the extra general meeting of shareholders, held on 22nd of July 2009. John Afseth was elected chairman of the Board.

"IGE's main focus in the quarter was on finalizing the technical and financial feasibility report (Estudode Viabilidade Tecnico-Economico - EVTE) for the Luxinge diamond project in Angola and the Preliminary Assessment (PA) for the Rönnbäcken Nickel project in Sweden.

The EVTE is a key milestone in the application process for a diamond mining licence in Luxinge, and the document was in finalization process during the third quarter. The Rönnbäcken PA was completed and announced in November, after the end of the third quarter. The conclusions in the PA are highly encouraging and suggest a considerable upside to the assessments made at this stage. The PA confirms the value potential of the Rönnbäcken resource and IGE is now moving forward in its efforts trying to involve an industrial partner in the project.

The Group's financial basis was secured through successful equity issues in October. A total of MSEK 89 was raised in a challenging capital market, suggesting that the market has confidence in IGE's value creation potential. The Group moves forward with caution and limited interest bearing debt.

IGE's projects moved forward according to plans in the third quarter, however with some minor delays. The divestment of IGE's 50% ownership in Kilimapesa Gold, an associated company in Kenya, was completed in the quarter. No efforts has been put towards being granted an exemption to sell the initial 6,000 Ct of diamonds recovered by IGE in Luxinge, prior to being granted the mining licence, as focus has been on the completion of the EVTE. Having secured sufficient funding from the equity issues, it is IGE's assessment that a postponed sale is likely to provide increased revenues from these diamonds.

IGE's financial position is now stronger than it has been for many years in combination with a significantly reduced level of capital expenditures within the Group over the last year. The Preliminary Assessment for the Rönnbäcken Nickel resource demonstrates that it is one of the most interesting nickel projects in Europe at the moment. IGE is well positioned for improving operational and financial performance as well as continued growth in 2010" said Tomas Fellbom, CEO of IGE.

Other important events and events after the expiration of the reporting period:

  • Preliminary Assessment for the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project completed. IGE announced the completion of the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Preliminary Assessment (PA) of the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project in northern Sweden. The PA is a milestone in the development of IGE, and provides an independent evaluation of the project. Net present value of the project is estimated at MUS\$142. According to the PA, the project has potential to outline additional mineral resources. IGE believes there are additional opportunities to further improve project economics.
  • The loan of MSEK 20 referable to the Bridge loan raised by the Company in the end of May 2009, was fully converted to equity.
  • IGE Nordic confirmed discovery of a new area of nickel mineralization and good prospects to improve the potential of the Rönnbäcken nickel project. IGE Nordic has decided to launch a new drilling program at Rönnbäcken based on positive assay results from recent geological mapping and sampling program. The program focused on geological mapping and magnetic surveying of untested areas near current resources. Sampling and assaying of outcrops has identified several new targets for drilling. The program has also resulted in the discovery of a new area with nickel mineralization north of Rönnbäcksnäset and north of the lake.
  • The Extraordinary General Meeting in IGE approved the previously finalized Private Placement as well as the Debt Conversion. The shareholders in IGE held an Extraordinary General Meeting on Monday the 5th of October 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden. The EGM also approved the Board proposition to conduct a repair issue of up to 70,000,000 new shares directed to the existing shareholders as per September the 15th, 2009.
  • Final result of IGE's subsequent "repair issue" directed to the existing shareholders of the Company IGE announced the result of the subsequent repair issues to the existing shareholders of IGE as per the 15th of September 2009. As of the expiry of the offer period at 17:30 CET on Wednesday the 28th of October, 14.1 million shares were subscribed for in the share issue, resulting in net proceeds of about 4.2 MSEK.

Update on the 2009 work program:

Angola:

Luxinge Project

The process of applying for the Mining license has progressed according to plan and is, since November 2009, in the hands of the State Mining enterprise, known as Endiama. The IGE team from Luxinge has been working alongside the teams of Endiama and the "Ministry of Mines and Geology" to ensure the exploration results and the financial expectations are in line with the State requirements. There are a number of requirements as explained on IGE website and these have to be thoroughly investigated. IGE, as the majority shareholder in the Partnership agreement within the Luxinge Association, has major support from both Endiama and the Ministry of Mines and Geology.

Once the details have been confirmed within the E.V.T.E (Estudode Viabilidade Tecnico-Economico), a light version of a prefeasibility study, by the teams from Endiama and the Ministry of Mines, the study will be presented to the Council of Administrators of Endiama and then given to the Ministry of Mines. Once approved, the Council of Ministers will ratify the Decree and the Luxinge Association will be a fully commercialized entity. IGE will then have the full commercial right to produce and sell diamonds from the Luxinge concession.

Within the scope of the EVTE, and within the Luxinge Secondary Contract, 50% of the concession area is to relinquish back to the state. The latest exploration work, undertaken by the project has identified the area to be handed back to the state. These are obviously the lowest grade and smallest stone size areas.

The legal and commercial entities within the Board of Directors at Endiama have cleared the path for the approval for the release of the deposited Investment Guarantee assignable to the Luxinge project to IGE. The approval is waiting ratification from the CEO of Endiama.

Cariango, Lacage and Luanguinga Projects

New work programs have been submitted to each of the Councils for approval. Each of the Councils have agreed to a shared resource strategy in order to lower the need of separate investments and this allows an overall reduced budget for IGE, enabling each of the projects to fulfil their objectives at far less cost. The contracts enable IGE to change the overall expenditure required as long as all the Partners agree with the details. This has been approved and has been the subject of ongoing negotiations within the various partnerships.

A strong message in the work programs is the training and responsibility IGE takes within the exploration program.

Scandinavia:

IGE Nordic's activities during the third quarter were primarily focused on finalization of a Preliminary Assessment (PA) of its 100% owned Rönnbäcken Nickel Project. The study was completed by the independent mining consultants Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. ("Scott Wilson RPA"), Canada in November of 2009. The PA confirms the viability of producing a very high grade concentrate with 28% nickel (arguably the highest nickel grade in the world) by means of conventional mining, milling flotation. The PA outlines a base position for the project as well as identifying areas for further definition and improvement.

IGE Nordic received positive assay results from its 2009 summer geological mapping and sampling program at its wholly owned Rönnbäcken Nickel Project located in northern Sweden. The program focused on geological mapping and magnetic surveying of untested areas near current resources. Sampling and assaying of outcrops identified several new targets for drilling in the areas around the two main deposits of Vinberget and Rönnbäcksnäset. The program also resulted in the discovery of a new area with nickel mineralization north of Rönnbäcksnäset and north of the lake, for which an explorations license was granted October 1 2009. IGE Nordic plans to commence a new round of drilling in November 2009, and has secured two drill rigs from Bergteamet AB.

Highlights after the expiration of the interim period:

  1. The Preliminary Assessment under NI 43-101 regulations demonstrates the potential to commercially produce a very high grade nickel concentrate using open-pit mining and conventional technology.

    1. The PA is based on an initial 13 year mining plan with mill throughput of 20 million tonnes of ore per annum, and a projected recovery of 74.5% of nickel in sulphides. The resultant concentrate averaging 28% nickel content is expected to supply 17,000 tonnes of nickel in concentrate annually.
    1. According to the PA, the initial capital cost of the project has been estimated at MUS\$698. At a nickel price of \$9.00 per pound (US\$19,800 per tonne), the internal rate of return (IRR) of the project is 12.4% and it generates a NPV of MUS\$142 using an 8% discount rate, according to the base case cash flow analysis.
    1. The C1 cash operating cost will average US\$5.55 (US\$12,200 per tonne) per pound of nickel, as reported in the PA. 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 US\$4.04/lb of nickel contained.
    1. The company has developed modest targets for improvement, which potentially could have a significant effect on project economics.
    1. Separate scenario analysis carried out in-house by IGE indicates that net present value could be increased by up to MUS\$437 by adding 150 million tonnes to resources, improving nickel recovery to 80% and by reducing operating costs by 5%. The MUS\$437 would be an addition to the base case NPV of MUS\$142.
    1. IGE Nordic believes that there is excellent potential for further exploration. Large areas of exposed serpentinite with nickel mineralization remain untested nearby in Vinberget and at Rönnbäcksnäset.
    1. Expansion drilling focussed on new targets generated from the summer field program is to be launched in November 2009 - two drill rigs have been secured.
    1. Outotec Minerals Oy has been engared to conduct further process optimisation testwork aimed at raising nickel in sulphide recoveries from 75% to 80%, as well as reducing operating costs.
    1. Following upon the recommendations of the Preliminary Assessment, IGE plans to commence work towards the next step, which is a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), targeted for completion in 2011, which is expected to cost MUS\$14.
    1. In order to formally launch a PFS, IGE plans to begin negotiations with established industry partners, with the intent of securing a strong partnership to fund the remaining stages towards production, including the Pre-Feasibility Study and the subsequent Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS).
    1. The company plans to follow with a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS), at an estimated total cost of MUS\$21.4, and has completion targeted for 2012. A production decision is anticipated before the end of 2012 with commissioning targeted for early 2015.

The economic analyses on the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project contained in the PA and in this interim report are based on inferred resources, and are preliminary in nature. Inferred resources are considered too geologically speculative to have mining and economic considerations applied to them and to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the reserves development, production, and economic forecasts on which the PA and this press-release are based will be realized.

The entire Preliminary Assessment is posted on the Company's website at www.ige.se.

At the Solvik gold-copper project, (IGE Nordic 50%, Archelon Mineral AB 50%), results were received from geological field work performed in 2009. The field program carried out in 2009, together with earlier work, indicated several areas of gold mineralization in a 17 km long zone. Furthermore, gold mineralization at the Egenäs zone is more extensive than expected.

Kenya:

The agreement between Goldplat Plc and International Gold Exploration IGE AB for the sale of IGE's share in Kilimapesa Gold (Pty) Ltd for 2.7 M USD was completed, and the first payment of USD 1,200,000 was received. The balance is payable in six monthly amounts of US\$250,000 commencing when Kilimapesa Gold's mining licence is issued by the authorities in Kenya.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – SEPTEMBER, 2009

Exploration activities in Kenya continued. About 420 meters of trenches were dug at the Atieli target. The target was defined through saprolite sampling, which revealed several gold anomalies, including grades of 680, 1680 and 2670 ppb in the saprolite. The trenches exposed series of sandstones, with promising quartz veins, stockworks, and on some occasions clay alteration. The 490 resulting samples are being processed for export to Tanzania for assay at ALS Chemex Laboratories. Preliminary trenching done on the same target by AAPS in 1999 had indicated potential for low-grade high tonnage mineralization, with intercepts of 2 m at 4.54 g/t and 16 m at 2.23 g/t.

During the reported period, IGE's diamond drilling equipment underwent renovation in order to start diamond drilling at the Kogumbo target on the Akala license. The Kogumbo target consists of a set of several quartz veins hosted in basalts. Drilling commenced during the reported quarter.

The company continued its strategic review of possible opportunities for short term gold mine development in the Africa. A short list of suitable projects was prepared and steps were taken to make appropriate contacts.

The Administration of International Gold Exploration IGE AB (publ) hereby submit the interim report for the period January 1st to September 30th 2009, with comparison figures from the corresponding period of the previous year and the most recent annual report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTS

1. Accounting principles

This interim report has been performed according to Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Reporting. The interim report has also been performed in accordance with the rules in the Swedish Financial Accounting Standard RFR2. During 2009, the same accounting principles have been applied in this report as in the annual report prepared for the financial year 2008 with the following exceptions (see below) referred to new or revised standards, interpretations and changes adopted by the European Union (EU) which shall apply from 1 January, 2009. 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 2008.

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with prevailing IFRS/IAS standards applied by the EU Commission at 1 January 2005. Further description of accounting principles and how the transition to IFRS has affected the Group accounting can be found in the latest annual report of the Group (2008).

New or revised standards

IFRS 8 - Operating Segments

The Group has from first of January, 2009 implemented IFRS 8 Operating Segments, which replace IAS 14 Segment reporting. The new standard require that a company provide extended financial and describing disclosures about its reportable operating segments and that segment information is presented from managements perspective, which means that the information is presented in the way it is used within the internal reporting. Reportable segments are lines of businesses or aggregated lines of businesses which fulfil certain specific criteria's. The starting point for identification of reportable segments is the internal reporting as it is reported and is followed up by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The Group has identified Group Management as CODM. The Group has identified three reportable segments according to IFRS 8 which are Gold, Diamonds, Nickel and Other.

The implementation of this standard has not had any effect on the Groups total financial position compared to the figures presented in the annual report for 2008. The information about the Groups reportable operating segments is shown in Note "Segment reporting" and comparative figures for prior periods have been adjusted.

Revised IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements

The revised standard divide changes in shareholders equity based on transactions with shareholders and other changes. The statement of changes in shareholders equity will only include information regarding shareholder transactions. In addition to this the standard introduce the concept "Group statement of comprehensive income" which show all items referred to revenue and expenses which earlier have been shown in "Group statement of changes in shareholders equity in summary", either in an individual statement or in two coherent statements. The Group has chosen to present the statement of comprehensive income in two statements, "Income statement – Group" and "Statement of comprehensive income summary".
