ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
FENIX IMPROVES HEDGE BOOK
420,000 TONNES OF IRON ORE HEDGED AT A$170/T OUT TO JUNE 2024
Fenix Resources ( ASX: FEX ) ( Fenix or the Company ) is pleased to advise the Company has added additional iron ore hedging contracts for a total of 90,000 tonnes of iron ore, structured as 15,000 tonnes per month from January 2024 through to June 2024.
These new contracts add to the Company’s existing iron ore hedge book which now comprises a total of 420,000 tonnes, structured as 60,000 tonnes per month until December 2023 at a fixed price of A$170.10 per tonne and 50,000 tonnes per month from January to June 2024 at a fixed price of A$170.25 per tonne.
Fenix has taken advantage of the current strength in iron ore markets to improve the Company’s hedge book. The additional hedging is consistent with the Company’s Price Protection Policy designed to support the strong cashflow generation and profitability Fenix generates from ongoing steady production volumes from the Company’s 100% owned Iron Ridge Iron Ore Mine. The improved hedge book now represents slightly less than 50% of planned production from Iron Ridge which secures a strong positive cashflow margin on a base level of production whilst maintaining positive exposure to spot iron ore prices.
Fenix’s iron ore hedging arrangements consist of swap contracts between Fenix and Macquarie Bank Limited which are cash settled at the end of each month for an amount equivalent to the difference between the fixed price of the contracts and the Monthly Average Platts TSI 62 Index converted to Australian dollars (A$).
Authorised by the Board of Fenix Resources Limited.
