Tshipi operations continue to run well with FY2019 production and sales on track at a run rate of 3.3Mtpa, in line with the April Investor Presentation.
The manganese price (per Metal Bulletin index) has been exceptionally strong and has averaged around US$7/dmtu (37% FOB Port Elizabeth) since 1 March to date. Although currently lower, it remains robust. Operating costs are well controlled and within budget at circa US$2.20/dmtu (FOB). The resulting margins provide strong cash generation at the mine.
Next Distribution to Shareholders
Jupiter will consider its first half-year distribution in June/July 2018, which should be paid to shareholders after the half year end.
