Company Highlights for March Quarter 2021
Manuka Resources Limited commenced processing gold ores from its Mt Boppy Gold Project through its Wonawinta plant in April 2020, just 12 months ago. Since that time, we have:
-
completed resource updates for both the Mt Boppy Gold Project and the Wonawinta Silver Project;
-
commenced an internal feasibility for the restart of the Wonawinta Silver Project;
-
progressed the refinancing of the existing senior secured debt facility; and
-
recovered >16,700 oz Au.
Although production to date has been adversely affected by the extremely unusual weather events over the past 8 months, the March Quarter production was the Company’s best to

date. The June Quarter is expected to continue this positive trend.
Manuka expects to recover around 15% more gold from its existing pit design before transitioning to silver production, than outlined in the prospectus for its July 2020 IPO. Consequently, the Company anticipates gold production continuing until late August, early September from the existing Mt Boppy pit design, before transitioning to silver production from the stockpiles on-site at Wonawinta.
The Company completed its second and third principal repayment of the TransAsia Private Equity debt facility in January and March 2021 for US$1.5m each (a total US$3.0m was repaid to TransAsia during the quarter). The refinancing of this facility is progressing well and is highly likely to result in a facility with reduced interest costs and longer tenor.
Mt Boppy Gold Project:
-
5,268 ounces of Au produced this Quarter and 5,077 ounces sold at an average unhedged price of A$2,284/oz.
-
A total of 107,244 tonnes of ore was mined at Mt Boppy, while 78,598 tonnes were trucked to the Wonawinta plant during the Quarter at an average grade of 3.03g/t Au.
-
Wonawinta plant recoveries averaging 75.07% for the quarter (target 75%).
-
The Mt Boppy Resource Update announced 1 February 2021 materially increased the deposits grade and tonnes, along with an upgrading of tonnes from indicated to measured status resulting in an overall uplift in the remaining gold ounces for the project.

Summary
Manuka commenced processing Mt Boppy gold ore in April 2020 from the existing Mt Boppy stockpiles and commenced the processing of mined ore from July 2021. The March Quarter performance was a substantial improvement on the previous two Quarters. This trend is expected to continue. Production will now extend to August/September and the Company remains optimistic on achieving earlier forecast profits from the extended gold production term. The lower gold price in Australian dollars for the quarter impacted quarterly revenue.
On 1 April 2021 Manuka released a Resource Update and Upgrade at its Wonawinta silver project. The Update noted a 43% increase of Measured and Indicated Resources. Manuka is currently awaiting delivery of the Mine Plan and the maiden Reserve for Wonawinta confirming the commercial viability of the Silver Project.
The Company will commence silver production by processing the Wonawinta stockpiles following completion of gold production, which as outlined above is likely to end August/ September this year.

Wonawinta Silver Project:
-
Following completion of its 14,000m in-fill RC drill program, Manuka released the Wonawinta Resource Update on 1 April 2021 showing a 43% increase in Measured and Indicated Resources
-
Manuka is now awaiting completion of the Wonawinta Mine Plan and release of its maiden Wonawinta JORC reserve
-
Silver production to commence from the processing of existing oxide stockpiles in 2H 2021
Growth and Exploration Outlook
During the Quarter, Manuka continued with its previously announced three stage exploration program. The update to the program is as follows:
-
a) Work on the Wonawinta in-fill drilling program was paused at the end of January, as the Company awaited analysis of drilling conducted to date. (These results fed into the Resource Update announced 1 April 2021). Manuka will recommence drilling on the ML’s from early May 2021 as part of a broader resource extension and infill program focused on the southern area of the mining lease and the adjacent exploration licence.
-
b) On 1 March 2021 Manuka announced the results of its most recent Mt Boppy drill program. This was the fourth release of drilling results beneath the existing pit design, and again highlighted the continuation of gold grades at depths of around 30m beneath the planned pit shell. The Mt Boppy exploration program will be continued once mining ceases at Mt Boppy, as will full consideration of future mining and processing options. The extent of mineralisation is encouraging.
Manuka has appointed Mining Associates to oversee a broader Canbelego / Mt Boppy structural review as we aim to identify the particular signature of Mt Boppy
Manuka Resources Limited - Level 4 Grafton Bond Building, 201 Kent St Sydney NSW Australia 2000 ABN 80 611 963 225 tel +61 412 268114 www.manukaresources.com.au
and its possible replication elsewhere on our tenements.
- c) The initial deeper drill program targeting signs of the existence of deeper silver and base metal sulphides at Wonawinta (internally known as the “Wonawinta Deeps”) completed at the end of March 2021. The Company currently awaits the independent assay results of the drill program before scoping additional work programs to test the extent of primary mineralisation on the ML. As previously announced, preliminary indications are encouraging.
Cashflow and Hedging
Manuka’s Operating Cash Flow generation further improved this Quarter with ~$1.58m positive Operating Cash Flow, the best Quarterly performance this year. The strong operating performance experienced in the March Quarter is expected to continue in the current Quarter which augurs well for ongoing cash flow generation.
As noted earlier, the refinancing of the TransAsia Private Equity debt facility is progressing well and is highly likely to result in a facility with reduced interest costs and longer tenor, positively impacting cashflows.
The Company remains unhedged currently.
Corporate and Debt
The Company completed its second principal repayment on the TransAsia Private Equity debt facility during January 2021 for the amount of US$1.5m, and a further US$1.5m during March 2021, leaving a balance of US$10m as at 31 March 2021.
The Company also had a facility of A$250,000 from the NAB (National Australia Bank) of which an amount of A$42,000 was owing at 31 March, and a further total of A$1.824 million is owing to subordinated lenders.
Total borrowings to 31 March 2021 were A$14.978 million down substantially from A$24.3 million (or A$26.06 million if including convertible note interest due at that time) as at 30 June 2020.
Unused facilities available at Quarter end were A$934k whilst the cash balance was ~$1.45m.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.3.3, during the quarter, the Company made cash payments of $0.083M to related parties and their associates (refer items 6.1 and 6.2 of the Appendix 5B). This was the aggregate amount paid to the directors including salary, directors’ fees, consulting fees and superannuation.

Outlook Financial Year 2021
Operational guidance for FY21 was included with the release of Manuka’s FY20 financial results. An update summary was attached to the September 2020 Quarterly.
The Company now expects to continue mining and producing gold from its Mt Boppy project until end August/September 2021, following which it will transition to processing its silver stockpiles at Wonawinta.
The Mt Boppy Resource Update released to the market on 1 February 2021 (see Table 3 below) sets out the Measured, Indicated and Inferred resource remaining within the deposit, with a total of 362,430 tonnes at an average grade of 4.62g/t Au for a total of 53,870 ounces.
For comparison, the Mt Boppy Ore Reserve estimate reported in July 2020[1] was 320,000 tonnes at 3.0 g/t Au, for 31,000oz Au, and the Company has already extracted over 16,700oz Au from operations since that date.
The updated Resource forms the basis for the remaining mining operations at Mt Boppy and company forecasts will be updated once our future development options at Mt Boppy are fully considered.
