Proposed purchase of Ghana Gold AB

The former board decided to purchase a company called Ghana Gold AB on the 23rd of January 2013 from a close related party to the main shareholder and of the Board members. The price for Ghana Gold AB amounted to SEK 50 million in cash and an additional SEK 100 million in shares. Although the purchase was subject to an approval by an extra general meeting the Board decided to transfer the SEK 50 million at on the 23rd of January without shareholder approval.

The Board was reported to the Swedish Economic Crime Authority by the company auditors, KPMG, on the 23rd of March. A pre investigation by the police is on-going and is expected to be finalized during autumn 2013.

The Board proposed to an extra general meeting, held on the 25th of April, to authorize the Board to decide upon a share issue directed towards Alluvia Mining for the remaining part of the purchase price of Ghana Gold. Amarant Mining Ltd, at the time the main shareholder of both IGE and Alluvia Mining, voted in favour of the proposal, which was adopted.

A group of minority shareholders contested the decision in the district court in Stockholm and the decisions related to the purchase of Ghana Gold was declared invalid. According to the contract signed by the former board the payment of SEK 50 million should be repaid immediately by Alluvia Mining if the purchase was stopped at a General Meeting. As per the expiration of August 2013 the cash payment of SEK 50 million has not been returned.

Operations; nickel

Despite the delayed launch of a full scale PFS and the extensive studies required to complete an EP application, Nickel Mountain has carried out a number of activities aimed at gaining a better definition of technical aspects of the Rönnbäcken Nickel Project (RNP), some of these activities have been on-going for the last twelve months.

At the end of April 2013, Nickel Mountain received the results of an initial program of thin section mineralogy and petrography by Vancouver GeoTech Labs, Canada, limited to 80 thin sections. The results of this initial program confirmed earlier findings, but also identified the presence of weathering related clays and different rock-textural features that distinguish different geological units within the deposits. The presence of clays in some of the mineralized material could possibly affect flotation recovery and further investigation will need to be undertaken. This study highlighted the need for additional thin section mineralogy covering all of the deposits.

At the end of June 2013, Nickel Mountain received the results of an extensive geologicalmetallurgical domaining testwork program, which began in July 2012, carried out by Outotec (Finland) OY in collaboration with Eurus Mineral Consultants ("EMC") at a cost of approx SEK 7 million. The reports are in the

process of being finalized during August-September 2013. The results of this geological-metallurgical domaining test work, together with the findings of the other studies, will be used to assist in planning future development work.

Events after the reporting period:

In a decision on 22 August 2013, the Government dismissed appeals from among others Vapsten Reindeer Herding Co-operative regarding the Chief Mine Inspector's decision to grant the three exploitation concessions Rönnbäcken K nr 1-3 to Nickel Mountain AB, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nickel Mountain Resources AB.

The appellants had inter alia referred to the impact of the planned mining activities on reindeer husbandry and nature and culture values in the area. The area is of national interest for both valuable materials and reindeer husbandry, and these interests were considered incompatible. The Government therefore needed to assess which of these interests would best promote a long-term use of the land, water and other aspects of the physical environment.

The Government found in its decision that the national interest for valuable materials should take precedence over the national interest for reindeer husbandry. The Government considered that the planned mining activities will give rise to significant national economic gains during the time they are conducted. Thereafter the land will be reclaimed and will be able to again be used for reindeer husbandry. The Government also mentioned that the area of national interest for reindeer husbandry is significantly larger than the area concerned in its decision. The Government further considered that the activities will not significantly harm the nature and culture values in the area.

The company may now focus on the preparations for a permit application under the Environmental Code. The studies and preparation work for the permit application are estimated to take at least 18 months. This application will be tried by the Environmental Court and the company will conduct the investigations necessary for the Court's assessment. The drafting of an environmental impact assessment will require consultations to be held with affected authorities and stakeholders.

Three exploration permits are about to expire at the end of 2013: Rönnbäcksjön nr 3, nr 4 and nr 8. Nickel Mountain AB intends to apply for an extension of these three exploration permits with the Swedish Mining Inspectorate Bergsstaten.

Operations; diamonds

As a consequence of the former board's decisions, the entire diamond portfolio of IGE is currently in default. IGE has during the spring failed to fulfil its contractual obligations towards the governments and the local partners resulting in the current defaulted contract situation.

The new board has appointed a committee to find a solution for IGE's subsidiary, IGE Diamond, targeting to recover the rights of possession of the various African diamond projects. Once the board has a better understanding of the current status of the African concessions it will aim to separate the African business from the Nickel.

Financial position

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter 2013 amounted to SEK 0.8 million, compared to SEK 92.9 million at the end of second quarter 2012. Total equity at the end of the reporting period amounted to SEK 150.3 million (SEK 351.4 million at end of the corresponding period 2012), representing an equity ratio of 91 per cent (82 per cent at the end of second quarter the previous year).

The Company's interest bearing long term debt amounts to SEK 9.0 million, which is constituted by a convertible loan, granted by Norrlandsfonden for the development of Rönnbäcken and a loan from the former Chairman Ulrik Jansson for the funding of the Group during spring 2013.

Group outlook

The current financial situation of the Group is strained. At present the Group is in need of additional funding to be able settle the matured invoices left by the former management. In order to solve the most urgent payments the main shareholder, Altro Invest AB, has offered a temporary loan of 4 million SEK with an annual interest of 7.5%. The loan was granted after the reporting period.

The new Board is currently working on a medium term funding solution. This work is running in parallel with the process of

reclaiming the funds transferred to Alluvia Mining Ltd and consequential damages in connection with the proposed Ghana Gold transaction.

The Parent Company's business activity is to manage the Group's operations. The result before tax during the second quarter of 2013 amounted to SEK -8.6 million (-3.8). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 0.7 million (91.2). Investments in the Parent Company during the reporting period amounted to SEK 0 million (0).

6. Receivable Alluvia Mining Ltd

Receivable Alluvia Mining is related to a proposed purchase of Ghana Gold. A prepayment of SEK 50 million was made on the 23rd of January, subject to an approval of an upcoming General Meeting which was held during the second quarter 2013. The decision on the Extra General Meeting was declared invalid as a result of an appeal by a minority shareholder group. The Board, at the time, made a second attempt to pass the proposed purchase on the Annual General Meeting held on the 2nd of August 2013 but the meeting voted against the proposal. According to the purchase agreement the pre-payment of SEK 50 million shall be repaid immediately if a General Meeting voted against the proposed purchase, resulting in that IGE now has a claim on the seller Alluvia Mining Ltd amounting to SEK 50 million. The Board is currently working on getting the money refunded by Alluvia.

7. Results from equity accounted participations

Result from participations in-group companies during the period is attributable to the Group's interest in Nordic Iron Ore and Tasman Metals.

8. Tax

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.

9. Provisions

Deferred tax liabilities

The recognition of carrying amount of an asset 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

Other Provisions are constituted by an accrued cost related to an option vested to Mitchell River Group (MRG). If MRG decides to exercise the option, a provision of SEK 1.02 million will be deducted from the price to be paid for the shares. If they waive their right to exercise the option, the above provision will be set to zero and removed from the balance sheet of Nickel Mountain Resources.

Other provisions have historically included even a provision for mine site rehabilitation related to the former mining operations in Angola. As a consequence of the Group's withdrawal from the projects and loss of its rights to these licenses the provision has been dissolved during the year improving the Group result with SEK 2.0 million.

10. Convertible loan to Norrlandsfonden

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:

  • The maturity date of the convertible loan was set to August 31, 2018.
  • The loan runs with an annual interest rate of STIBOR 90 (Stockholm Interbank Offering Rate) plus an interest surcharge of 4% to be paid quarterly.
  • In case of conversion, the conversion rate per share will be SEK 56.
  • IGE has got the right to repay the loan in cash in advance at any time during the duration of the loan. IGE will then be forced to pay a compensation for the lost interest to Norrlandsfonden of 15% (on an annual basis) on the loan amount during the period that it has been utilised by IGE.

If fully converted the convertible loan will result in an additional 89,286 shares will be issued (a dilution of about 0.05% based on 181,749,225 shares outstanding).

11. Other long term liabilities

The former Board member Ulrik Jansson lent SEK 4 million to IGE at the end of May 2013 in order to finance the day to day operations of the Group. As a consequence of the SEK 50 million payment Alluvia Mining in January 2013, the Group was drained of cash at the end of May and needed external funding. The loan runs with an interest of 12 per cent per annum. The loan has duration of three years.

Other long term liabilities are referable to outstanding accounts with the statutory Black Economic Empowerment partner for Bakerville, Tranter. Tranter initially owed IGE about SEK 8 million. At present SEK 1.1 of this amount has been paid. The amount reported in the Balance Sheet of IGE has been entered as duty of care. If the BEE partner fails to fulfil its obligations according to the contract, and thereby fails to pay the remaining SEK 6.9 million, IGE could end up in a situation where Tranter claim their first part payment refunded.

12. Related party transactions Upcoming reports:

  • Q3 and 9 months interim report 2013: 14th November 2013
  • Q4 and Year End report 2013: 20th February 2014

IGE Resources transferred SEK 50 million as a part payment in advance referable to a proposed purchase of a company called Ghana Gold AB from Alluvia Mining Ltd. Alluvia Mining is a related party through its director of the Board, Terje E Lien, which also was a director of the IGE board at time of the transfer.

13. Result from participations in-group companies – Parent company

The Parent Company, IGE Resources AB, finances its subsidiaries by way of lending money on current bases. As a result of the impairment of the mineral interests held by the subsidiaries IGE Resources has decided to align its receivables to be more in line the value of the assets in the balance sheet of the subsidiaries. This resulted in impairment in the parent company of the IGE Group of SEK 124.2 million during the first quarter of 2013.
