Mandalay gegen den allgemeinen Trend diese Woche mit Plus 20% vorgestern und gestern 8% bärenstark. Ich hoffe, es liegt nicht wie zuletzt bei der ein oder anderen Übernahme an Infos, die durchgesickert sind.
Hier die letzten Zahlen aus dem November. Cash Costs auf dem tiefsten Stand seit 2016 mit 546$ pro Unze bei Costerfield - die liegen ja direkt neben Kirkland, daher kaum verwunderlich.
Zudem wurde die Cerro Bayo Mine an Equus Mining verkauft, dafür gab es ein ordentliches Aktienpaket. Fundamental ist Mandalay für mich gerade auch hinsichtlich der geographischen Lagen mit Australien und Schweden ein Top Pick.
Mandalay Resources Corporation Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2021
TORONTO, Nov. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mandalay Resources Corporation ("Mandalay" or the "Company") (TSX: MND, OTCQB: MNDJF) is pleased to announce its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
The Company’s condensed and consolidated interim financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, together with its Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the corresponding period, can be accessed under the Company’s profile on www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.mandalayresources.com. All currency references in this press release are in U.S. dollars except as otherwise indicated.
Third Quarter 2021 Highlights:
- Consolidated quarterly revenue of $52.6 million, second highest quarterly revenue since Q2 2016;
- Adjusted EBITDA of $25.1 million;
- Adjusted net income of $10.1 million ($0.11 or C$0.14 per share);
- Consolidated net income of $9.3 million ($0.10 or C$0.13 per share); and
- Costerfield cash cost of $546 per gold equivalent ounce produced, lowest since Q1 2016.
Dominic Duffy, President and CEO of Mandalay, commented:
“Mandalay Resources is pleased to have sustained the financial momentum generated during the first half of the year. We delivered another solid third quarter in 2021 – driven by strong adjusted EBITDA and profits. We are pleased with both sites’ strong execution against their operational strategy, positioning the Company to achieve the upper limits of our production guidance and attaining our cost guidance set for 2021.
“During this quarter, the Company generated $52.6 million in consolidated revenue and $25.1 million in adjusted EBITDA, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 48% and year-to-date adjusted EBITDA of $74.3 million. Mandalay earned $10.1 million or $0.11 per share in adjusted net income during the third quarter, marking our seventh consecutive quarter of profitability. Moreover, due to COVID-19 shipping delays, approximately $5.5 million in revenue was delayed from the third quarter and will be accounted for during our fourth quarter results.
“Our operational efficiency was further reflected by the declining consolidated cash and all-in sustaining costs per saleable gold equivalent ounce during this quarter to $825 and $1,135, respectively, from $826 and $1,262 during the same period last year.
“The Company generated solid net cash flows from operating activities of $8.2 million in the quarter. However, due to the aforementioned COVID-19 shipping restrictions, there were delays in the receipt of funds from Costerfield’s floatation concentrate, as well as sizable annual payments at Costerfield of $7.0 million in income tax and $2.7 million in royalties, which resulted in free cash flow of $1.3 million during the quarter.
“Also during the third quarter, the Company paid $5.0 million for reclamation costs at Lupin. Reclamation at Lupin will be ongoing and scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022. We are anticipating a release of $3.5 million during the fourth quarter through the progressive security reduction as part-compensation for work finalized over this year.
“Finally, the Company made another quarterly repayment of $3.8 million towards our Syndicated Facility, leaving $47.7 million owing. With quarter end closing cash of $29.8 million, our strong balance sheet gives the Company a significant amount of flexibility to explore exciting near-term growth opportunities and we anticipate significant growth in the cash position at year end 2021.
“With an approximate 30% increase in gold equivalent produced at Costerfield during Q3 2021 as compared to the same period last year, the site’s per gold equivalent ounce metrics improved significantly to a cash and all-in sustaining costs of $546 and $837 respectively, from $657 and $1,088. This improved production also resulted in Costerfield generating $27.0 million in revenue and $18.5 million in adjusted EBITDA during Q3 2021.
“Björkdal generated stable production and sales resulting in $20.5 million and $6.8 million of revenue and adjusted EBITDA, respectively, during the third quarter of 2021. The underground mined tonnage ramp up continued as we mined approximately 796,000 tonnes during the first nine months of 2021, an approximate 5% increase as compared to the same period last year.
“Grade performance at Björkdal during this quarter was lower than previous quarters mainly due to excessive dilution in key stopes. Dilution control measures have been on going and we saw positive results in September. We anticipate further grade improvements for the rest of 2021 and beyond as dilution control measures continue to be implemented. September results displayed strong improvement as feed grade into the processing plant averaged 1.5 g/t gold – our highest monthly grade this year. However, lower than average grade for the full quarter, coupled with negative exchange rate movements, resulted in higher cash and all-in sustaining costs of $1,186 and $1,440, respectively, for the quarter.
Mr. Duffy concluded, “For the remainder of 2021, we are expecting to see our cash position grow significantly with the normalization in our payment obligations. We are pleased with the steps taken to strengthen our balance sheet, which will further improve with the upcoming sale of Cerro Bayo in the fourth quarter, and adding financial flexibility and look to continue with the Company’s growth through the final quarter of 2021 and into 2022.”
