Overview of the June Quarter 2022

The June Quarter marked the Company’s first full quarter of silver production and no contribution from mining Mt Boppy gold ores. The silver production ramp-up has not been without its challenges. Chief among them was the sufficient feedstock for processing, and balanced plant operations which were not forthcoming. In amongst our plant operational issues, our contractors encountered equipment issues, a COVID-19 wave through their workforce, and the general staffing challenges confronting most mining related companies at present.

Our steady state production target of >150,000oz Ag per month was not achieved for any meaningful term during the June Quarter. Pleasingly, however, as at time of writing, the Project has enjoyed >14 days of consecutive production at over 100t/hour, which in turn makes achieving our monthly targets more likely. The Company believes the vast majority of ‘transition to silver’ production issues have now been overcome, with positive cash flow and profitability expected over Sept Quarter.

It was also noted in the March Quarter that progress of the near-mine exploration program (conducted on targets surrounding Mt Boppy) was impacted by adverse on-site weather conditions. Drilling at our final two targets, Racecourse and Bullseye, which was anticipated in end in May, remained impacted by soggy ground conditions but will recommence when conditions become suitable. It is worth noting that the cost of discovery per resource ounce at Mt Boppy is less than $50/oz and further exploration is targeted aimed at further boosting the resource.

The long-planned aerial VTEM project (2,241 line-kilometres) to be flown over the entirety of EL5842 (surrounding the Mt Boppy mine) plus select Wonawinta target areas in our western Cobar basin land package and which was delayed by the impacts of Covid-19, is now scheduled for the second half of CY22.

The first phase of the ground gravity program was completed and, as per Figure 1 below, identified a number of exciting targets.

As part of its due diligence process Manuka management conducted a site visit to the Reefton flotation plant during the Quarter as provided for under the Asset Sale Agreement. Following this, management has decided against the purchase. The significant increase in labour, transport and relocation costs over the past 6 months, together with the likely cost of required modification, greatly reduced the initial appeal of the purchase.

Operating Summary

Wonawinta Silver Project:

  • Silver processing operations commenced as planned during March,

  • Target mill feed level for steady state production was not consistently achieved during the Quarter but was reached post Quarter end

  • The Company believes it has now overcome all its silver transitioning issues and expects positive cashflows and profitability over the coming quarter

  • The decline in the silver price since March 2022 has delayed the announcement of the Maiden Wonawinta Silver Ore Reserve

  • Ground gravity program completed on ML1659, EL6155 and EL7345 following substantial Covid-19 driven delays and highlighted a number of potentially exciting sulphide zones, which will be drilled in due course.

Resource Growth and Exploration Outlook

Data collection and interpretation of the first phase of ground gravity over ML1659 was complete mid-June. This interpretation has identified a significant gravity high in the SW limb of the Wonawinta anticline proximal to drill locations (DBO 003) in one of the fences drilled in the Wonawinta Deeps program in 2021 which intersected sulphide mineralisation (see Figure 1 below). Field mapping of the lithological boundaries and identification of geological structure was performed along the lines of gravity highs (EW and NS) to improve confidence in the geological interpretation. These features will be drilled tested in the Sept Quarter, together with down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys of previously cored holes to confirm sulphides potential.

A second phase of ground gravity data collection and interpretation will commence once results from drill testing of the currently identified targets has been completed. This body of work is currently scheduled to occur early Q4 CY22.

Mt Boppy Gold Project Quarterly Summary:

  • As previously advised, Phase 1 of Mt Boppy gold mining completed end November 2021, and production ceased during March 2022;

  • The company completed a Resource update at Mt Boppy in June 2022 (to be released end July 2022)

The Company is currently assessing its future plans for Mt Boppy, and likely to work towards growing the Resource to ~100,000oz gold before resuming mining.

Cashflow and Hedging

Manuka generated ($5.08) million in negative EBITDA over the June Quarter. Operating cash flow for the Quarter was -$2.375m and for the 12 months to end of June was $8.916m. The transition to silver production took longer than forecast to reach internally targeted production efficiency levels. Quantity of ore through the plant has doubled (in comparison to the previously treated Mt Boppy gold ores), and the amount of actual metal production has increased by a factor of >25 when viewed in terms of metal in dore’ (or filtercake as the case may be). Following a disappointing April and May, June production outcomes were significantly improved. As at time of writing, July has continued this rate of progress.

By committing to the transition to silver processing, the Company now has the flexibility to process gold ore from Mt Boppy, silver processing of Wonawinta ore and with its existing infrastructure, add a flotation circuit to the production facility quite economically.

To mitigate financial risk during the ramp-up of silver production the Company raised capital in the prior Quarter via a placement.

The Company did not have any open hedge contracts as at 30 June 2022.

The amount outstanding at Quarter end to the Company’s senior secured lender, TransAsia Private Capital (TA) was US$8.0m million. This amount is due in a single repayment on 30 September 2022. As noted in the Company’s half-yearly accounts, TA has advised they will be accommodating if an extension is required.

Total borrowings as at 30 June 2022 were A$12.585 million. Unused facilities available at Quarter end were A$1.1 million and the cash balance was $1.26 million.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.3.3, during the quarter, the Company made cash payments of $0.114 million 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.

Mining Exploration Activities

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.3.1 cash outflows for the quarter ended 30 June 2022 in relation to exploration and evaluation activities were $0.714 million (refer Item 2.1(d) of the Appendix 5B) and predominantly comprised expenditure on:

  • Continued RC drilling of targets on EL5842 at Racecourse NE of the Mt Boppy mine and Bullseye directly east of Mt Boppy for a total of 1,095m. These programs were put on hold due to adverse weather impacts with rig remobilisation expected later in the September quarter to re-enter and complete Racecourse holes as well as drill the remaining two planned holes on Bullseye .

  • Initial RC drilling on EL6302 (western Cobar basin) on the Sierra target for 362m. Again wet weather resulted in suspension of activities until conditions allow for remobilisation.

  • Phase one of a ground gravity survey over ML1659 was completed in June with subsequent data interpretation identifying additional sulphide targets (co-incident
