About Mineral Commodities Ltd:
Mineral Commodities Ltd (ASX: MRC) is a global mining and development company with a primary focus on the development of high-grade mineral deposits within the industrial and battery minerals sectors.
The Company is a leading producer of zircon, rutile, garnet and ilmenite concentrates through its Tormin Mineral Sands Operation, located on the Western Cape of South Africa. In October 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Skaland Graphite AS, the owner of the world’s highest-grade operating flake graphite mine and one of the only producers in Europe. The planned development of the Munglinup Graphite Project, located in Western Australia, builds on the Skaland acquisition and is a further step toward an integrated, downstream value-adding strategy which aims to capitalise on the fastgrowing demand for sustainably manufactured Lithium-Ion Batteries.

| 61,783,570 | 55,399,163 | 12% |
FY19 REVENUE UP 12%
- Higher sales revenue was due to the first year introduction of Skaland sales (US$1.2 million), and additional Tormin revenue (US$5.2 million). Higher Tormin revenue was due to a 103% (109,866 tonnes) increase in ilmenite concentrate volumes shipped during the current year, partially offset by a 41.87% (7,524 tonnes) decrease in zircon and rutile volumes shipped, lower garnet transport revenue due to 95,833 less garnet tonnes shipped and lower zircon and rutile pricing achieved in 2019.

EBITDA UP 12%
- The higher overall sales volumes and revenue (including Skaland), in-conjunction with lower corporate overheads translated into the higher reported EBITDA for the 2019 year, when compared to 2018 results. Mining and processing costs have increased in line with increased sales revenue. Corporate administration and share incentive expenses decrease over the prior year as a result of foreign exchange gain, corporate cost savings in lower travel costs and streamlining support services.

NPAT DOWN 11%
- The profit before income tax expense (“NPBT”) was 14% higher than the prior year, reflecting the improved sales performance at Tormin and lower administration costs in 2019. However, Profit after tax expense (“NPAT”) decreased 11% due to an increase in the effective tax rate to 34% (2018: 15%), with the Group transitioning into a tax payable position in 2019, meaning capital losses that lowered the effective tax rate in the prior year have been fully utilised.
DIVIDEND
- Dividend payment strategy to provide cash returns to shareholders continued, with a further US$3.8 million (2018: $3.8 million) distributed in dividends during 2019. The Board of the Company was pleased to declare and pay during the year a 0.7 Australian cent per share final dividend in respect of the 2018 year, followed by an interim dividend for the half year ended 2019 of 0.6 Australian cent per share. The Directors have deferred a decision on declaring a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2019.

UNIT COSTS & REVENUES
-
Unit production cash costs were impacted by the change in mined tonnes and grades, with the current year’s US$84.40/t for 238,933 concentrate tonnes produced higher than the FY18 US$57.68/t for 403,831 concentrate tonnes produced.
-
The total unit cost of goods sold of US$89.27/t for the year for 440,210 concentrate tonnes sold improved on the prior year’s US$110.08/t for 337,999 final concentrate tonnes sold. The improved performance was driven by increased relative volumes of bulk shipment products.
-
Unit revenue per tonne of final concentrate sold reduced for the year (FY18 $156.95) reflecting the reduction in zircon and rutile sales during the current year, partially offset by improved ilmenite pricing and sales.
