Interim financial report for the six month period January 1 - June 30, 2015 and for the quarter April - June 2015 (Q2)
Highlights during the second quarter of 2015
· The administrative court (Förvaltningsdomstolen) in Luleå, Sweden, has in
the middle of May repealed the extension of one of the exploration permits
granted to NMG.
· A desk study on the iron oxide (magnetite by-product) concluded that the by
-product cannot be sold without NMG integrating forward in to production of
merchant pig iron ("MPI"). This information, in combination with depressed
nickel prices, resulted in NMG temporarily stopping the Rönnbäcken nickel
project investment program and booking an MSEK 82 impairment charge.
· The June 2015 AGM decided to enable NMG to conduct other business than
minerals, and the company is actively reviewing new business opportunities.
Major events after end of the report period
· In early July 2015 the Swedish public prosecutor filed criminal charges
against two of the four former NMG Board Directors in office during first half
of 2013 and responsible for the Ghana Gold-transaction. This is beneficial to
NMG in the sense that is increases the likelihood of NMG winning the ongoing
civil court case against the same Board Directors.
