ASX: MRC 28 February 2020
MRC FULL YEAR RESULTS SUMMARY
Mineral Commodities Ltd (“MRC” or “the Company”) continued its strong operation and financial performance during the financial year ended 31 December 2019.
Financial Highlights
-
Total Revenue US$61.8 million up 12% (FY18 $55.4 million)
-
EBITDA US $16.5 million up 12% (FY18 $14.7 million)
-
Profit Before Income Tax US$11.9M up 14% (FY18 $10.4 million)
-

Operational Highlights
-
Mining rights (10107MR and 10108MR) were renewed at the Tormin Mineral Sands Operation to allow the continuation of its existing mining operations for an additional 10 years.
-
Mining and processing tonnages at Tormin remained high, in line with the prior year to offset declining grades while the Company awaits a decision on its Section 102 Mining Right Expansion Application and the finalisation of the appeal process.
-
Production at Tormin was 10% above the December 2018 inferred resource, which is supportive of the replenishing nature of the deposit where resource blocks are mined more than once a year.
-
Cost savings have been achieved through switching from 24/7 operations to a schedule implemented from June 2019, incorporating an effective average 5.5 days per week working roster.
-
Three-month rolling Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate at Tormin started and finished the year at nil. The Company achieved a further milestone of working in excess of 1.3 million working hours since a Lost Time Injury incident in April 2017.
-
Skaland Graphite AS acquisition was completed. The Company is now operating the world’s highestgrade flake graphite mine and has finalised the DFS for the Munglinup Graphite Project in Western Australia, highlighting a post-tax NPV of US$ 111M and a 14 year mine life.
