• In the end of July IGE announced the inauguration of its Luxinge diamond mine, Angola. The production at the mine is being optimized and the sale of diamonds recovered during exploration is expected September 2010.
Additional equipment has been mobilised to the mine in the form of two 30 ton Articulated Dump trucks. These will boost the mining capacity of the project to be able to cope with the requirements of the reconfigured plant. These trucks were part of the mining fleet that was active at Bakerville project in South Africa.
In addition a 350 KVA generator has been relocated to Cassanguidi also from the Bakerville project. This is to provide power for the additional processing equipment that is being established on the site. The projects operations have been reconfigured to be continually operational 24 hours a day seven days a week. To accomplish this there are four shifts operating three eight hour shifts, with one shift on leave for a week at the change over. In conjunction with this change a structured maintenance program has been put in place. The mine management team was strengthened by the addition of Angolan nationals being coached and included in this management team. Both of these changes have had a marked improvement in the process plant and mining fleet availability and increased the consistency and volume of the plant throughput.
The project had two significant breakdowns during this period. The first was the main power generator which developed a problem with its engine. It will be rebuilt, spares are en route to the mine. One week of production was lost. The primary vibrator motor on the main dewatering screen in the process plant seized its bearings. These were replaced and damage to the main drive beam was repaired. One week of production was lost.
During the month of July, after the expiration of the reporting period, an average of 98.7 Carats per day were recovered. This is the first month that the project has performed with this degree of consistency. Throughput was 25% up on the average of the previous months.
The processing plants are being reconfigured to a central location. This will improve the operation dynamics and efficiencies of the processing facilities and allow more focussed mining operations. The first component, a 16" rotary pan has been commissioned and is in full production. The installation of the second major component, a 150 ton per hour scrubber and wet front end, is in progress with commissioning planned in the near future. It is planned to lift the production to the 5 000 Carats a month with this new configuration.
The second Quarter, continued with discussions and submitting of technical reports to Endiama for the purpose of approval of the EVTE for Project Luxinge. Further meetings were held with Sodiam and the Ministry of Mines, Geology and Industry. At the end of the second quarter, approval was granted by the Ministry to enable Endiama to offer Project Luxinge the Mining Contract.
Approval has also been granted by the state, for the selling of the sample `diamonds recovered during the bulk sampling phase. The project Luxinge was put into production prior to approval being granted and areas of Diamonds were opened ready for excavation and recovery of Diamonds. To date over 9,000 cts have been recovered and the sale will be taking place shortly (after the expiration of the reporting period).
The Project was formally inaugurated on July 28th 2010, this was attended by the Minister of Mines and the Provincial Governor of the Province of Lunda Norte, in which Luxinge is situated.
The commercialisation of the new Company, Sociade Minerio du Luxinge (SML), is in progress. Together with the partners of the New Company, the formation and management structure is still to be decided. However IGE, as the major shareholder, has operational and financial control. The mining contract states that further investment required within the project is subject to investment from the remaining partners and that IGE does not fund 100% and free carry the Local Partners any longer after the point where the mining licence was granted and the incorporation of the formal company has taken place.
IGE will now ramp up the production within Luxinge in order to get a good perception about the grades, size distribution and price of the diamonds recovered.
The first three years of the prospecting contract has expired on Project Lacage concession, reports have been submitted to the Council explaining why limited work has been done and why IGE should continue, these discussions is on going.
IGE is still waiting for information about the ratification of the projects with regard to the Kimberlite contracts. IGE has been verbally advised that the contracts are within the Council of Ministers, but IGE is waiting for written confirmation to be received before starting activities.
Endiama and the Minister of Mines, Geology and Industry have informed IGE that the company is considered for a number of interesting Diamond concessions, these concessions will only be considered if the appropriate mining exploitation licenses are issued and correctly applied.
Intense liaison with the Department Minerals Resources (DMR) has been occurring to assist the process of adjudication of the mining license. Boreholes have been drilled to locate water for the processing plant. A number of these boreholes intersected water. Pump test conclude that there is a reasonable amount of water available. However to reach the required flow rates deeper boreholes will be required which will have to be done using CODEX drilling methodology due to caving in the boreholes.
ESKOM power has been arranged initially at 350KVA until March 2011 when the full 1.45MVA will be allocated. In the event that there is a delay on this alternative power sources are being investigated. A manual screening exercise was done of the surface and pothole gravels in order to determine particle size distribution (PSD) of the gravels on the property to be mined in the future. At least 45 samples were screened, the data will be used in plant design.
Proposals for the manufacture and construction of the processing plant have been requested and received. These are being adjudicated with a contract award planned in the near future. The mining fleet has been designed and costed. Orders for this will be placed shortly after the license award, finance depending. Meetings have been held with the local communities surrounding the project, there has been support for the project from these meetings.
Numerous compliance inspections by the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) were carried-out on existing prospecting rights. Some of these inspections were related to closure applications of the so-called Bloemhof and Patsema project areas.
All efforts are currently directed to working with the DMR to work toward the award of the mining license. Processing plant supplier will be decided on and detailed design and planning entered into with them. The mining fleet design and composition will be finalised and a staged fleet build up finalised and the orders will be placed.
Budget approval was granted to carry out limited drilling on the Brussels section of the Harts river project. Contract negotiations with the farmers are in progress to commence with the drilling program. This program is to demonstrate to the DMR that we are progressing on this license to retain tenure of it.
It is planned that as soon as finances are allocated additional capital equipment will be procured for the project. Mining will commence after the commissioning of this equipment. The licence tenure has been kept in good standing. All related taxes, fees and reports are up to date. A team of security guards are stationed on site and there is ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the camp. A security fence has been erected around the plant.
There is a limited dredging operation being conducted on the Tshikapa River in conjunction with our JV partner. A historically rich and well documented pothole is being investigated. IGE has kept all licences and related documentation valid. A team of security guards is monitoring the licences and maintenance work has continued at the camp with the construction of two new brick accommodation buildings. An electricity grid has been extended to the town of Tshikapa which now has 24hour uninterrupted power. The Chinese are advancing rapidly with the construction of a new road from Kinshasa to Tshikapa which will greatly facilitate the movement of freight and supplies to site.
When finances are allocated to this project, the pumping and river diversion programme will be accelerated and the terrace mining operation will be initiated with the commissioning of a Bulk Sampling plant.
(Vinberget deposit) and K nr 2 (Rönnbäcksnäset deposit) to IGE Resources's subsidiary IGE Nordic AB.
An update of Mineral Resources of the Rönnbäcknäset and Vinberget deposits was undertaken by SRK Consulting (Sweden) AB. Using all available and valid date, geological contacts to the serpentinite body were remodelled and SRK extended the model at depth to enable the evaluation of the down dip potential of the deposits. SRK utilized a metal price of USD9.00/lb (USD19,840/tonne) and applied a cut off grade of 0.048% Ni-AC. 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, imparts a greater confidence in the nickel resources underlying the Rönnbäcken Nickel project, and significantly reduces the amount of infill drilling required to complete the current Prefeasibility Study. In addition, SRK noted that there is potential for an additional 40 and 80 million tonnes at the Rönnbäcksnäset deposit, when applying a metal price of USD9.00/lb (USD19,840/tonne) to the optimization, which could be identified by drilling next to the existing resources.

IGE entered into a strategic partnership with Mitchell River Group (MRG) of Australia, whereby MRG will provide additional expertise, capabilities and technical resources to the development of Rönnbäcken Nickel Project. MRG provides funding and management for early stage resource projects, and has a strong value development track record in nickel projects. The group has demonstrated its capacity to add considerable project value based on its geology and mining expertise, industry insight and metals project management capabilities. MRG has also proven highly successful in marketing and financing base metal projects. Going forward, MRG will invest in Rönnbäcken by supplying technical and management services to IGE. 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 to acquire 10 per cent of the Rönnbäcken. Overall control of the Rönnbäcken project remains with IGE. The partnership is initially for a period of 18 months and can on agreement be extended beyond 2011.
The focus of the 2010 winter drill program was to test for nickel sulphide mineralisation in areas outside of the documented deposit at Rönnbäcken. Assay results for the Sundsberget area confirm that significant thicknesses of mineralised serpentinite rock occur over an area in excess of 1,000 metres by 400 metres and that mineralisation is open down-dip. Assay results from drilling adjacent to the Vinberget deposit indicate mineralization to the northeast and southwest of the main deposit. These latter areas were added to the exploitation concession application.
The extent of these discoveries make IGE Nordic more optimistic that a target resource of 400-450 million tonnes at 0.10 to 0.15% nickel in sulphide could potentially be reached with additional exploration drilling. Another drill campaign commenced on June 7th, initially to follow-up and infill the exploration drilling at Sundsberget. This work is expected to provide sufficient detail for an initial resource estimate to be prepared on IGE's behalf by the Mitchell River Group. Drilling activity is on-going with a second rig added in August.
In the pilot testing, a sulphide nickel recovery of 80 per cent was demonstrated on a continuous basis (previous optimisation program was carried out under batch conditions at lab-scale). This is better than previous estimates. Concentrate grades above 22 per cent nickel were achieved in the mini pilot test. This is largely at par with previous assessments, and concentrate grades are expected to improve further in full-scale production. Based on the mini pilot the flowsheet design has been simplified, resulting in a lower estimate for the project's capital expenditure. The test program also revealed higher operating costs than previously estimated, due to an increased need for reagents. Testing was conducted in March on a composite sample at the Geological Survey of Finland with support from Outotec Minerals Oy.
The results from the minipilot will be incorporated in a simulation model to predict plant-scale outcomes. Overall results are expected to be used, along with new resource estimates, mining schedules and engineering cost estimates, to update project economics during the first half of 2011.
The granting of the exploitation concessions follows upon two years of thorough study and preparation, and establishes the right for mining activity to take place. An exploitation concession is granted for a mineral deposit if there is a probability for an economic exploitation of the deposit and if the site is considered acceptable from an environmental point of view. An exploitation concession is valid for 25 years, with extensions available if mining is on-going. The potentially impacted area has been surveyed for nature values and culture values and potential impacts on present land use for e.g. reindeer herding and hydropower generation has been addressed in the submitted EIA.
The next step is the preparation of an application to the Environmental Court for an environmental permit, which comprises an evaluation of the environmental impact of mining operations. The permit must be granted before construction of the mine can begin. The preparation is estimated to take close to one and a half years and will include formal stakeholder consultations. The application will include a more detailed EIA extending beyond land use aspects. The granting is expected to take additionally one and a half years and will include formal stakeholder consultations. Work on an environmental permit is part of the prefeasibility study.
The Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) has classified the Rönnbäcken nickel deposits "an Area of National Interest for Mineral Extraction." The area of interest, referred to as Rönnbäcken, consists of the three known deposits: Rönnbäcksnäset, Vinberget and Sundsberget, which in SGU's opinion are all part of the same mineralization and are therefore considered as one entire deposit. The SGU noted in its decision that nickel is considered a strategic metal, as all of the nickel consumed in Sweden is imported. Furthermore, the Rönnbäcken area is important for the country's raw material supply, having good potential to support future mining activity.
IGE is looking to secure a strategic investor in the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project, primarily to finance and accelerate the Pre-Feasibility Study, estimated to cost approximately USD13 million, in exchange for a minority interest in the Rönnbäcken Project. To this end, IGE has retained Hatch Corporate Finance to execute a private placement in a subsidiary of IGE Resources, which will own the assets of the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project (currently IGE Nordic AB). Hatch Corporate Finance is an independent corporate finance advisory firm focused on the metals and mining sectors, and has successfully executed transactions with a combined value in excess of USD10 billion, since 2003.
IGE is currently working to expand its resource through exploration drilling. Prefeasibility activities are already underway, with completion expected for the end of 2011. Part of these activities will involve the evaluation of raising ore throughput to 30 million tonnes per year, from the current planned rate of 20 million tonnes per year of ore. The bankable feasibility study is scheduled to follow upon the prefeasibility study, with completion expected for the 2nd quarter of 2013. Construction is assumed to require two years, finishing during the 2nd quarter of 2015. Commissioning is forecast to commence in the 3rd quarter of 2015.
IGE is considering a number of alternatives for its Kenyan gold projects. These projects are at a relatively early stage and IGE does not have the capacity and resources necessary to develop these assets alone. The Group has initiated discussions with potential partners and will continue to evaluate alternatives in order to develop these assets in a manner which is cost efficient and beneficial to IGE's shareholders.

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.

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 was 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 18.3 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.
This loan bears interest at the South African Prime Overdraft Rate compounded on a monthly basis and is repayable by 30 November 2011.
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:
If fully converted the convertible loan will result in that an additional 7,142,857 shares will be issued (a dilution of about 0.5%).
Mace Consulting has invoiced IGE SEK 112 thousand during the second 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 18.3 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 borrower 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.
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.
