    Northern Vertex Provides Hercules Gold Project Exploration Update: Surface Exploration Identifies Four New Target Areas and Potential Links Between Existing Target Areas, Highlighting Property-scale Exploration Potential
    Sep 7, 2021


    https://www.northernvertex.com…w-target-areas-and-poten/


    "...The results that we have received continue to show that the Hercules Gold Project has the potential to be a significant new discovery in Nevada..."


    Key Points:

    • Four new exploration target areas, Ursa, Como Ridge, Hades, and Jurassic Park have been identified


    • A sample from the eastern parts of the Hercules exploration target area returned 72.40 g/t gold and 2,690 g/t silver, making it the highest-grade surface rock sample collected on the property to date


    • Ongoing surface exploration continues to identify and further delineate structure-hosted epithermal precious metal mineralization in multiple areas, highlighting the exploration potential of the broader Hercules property


    • Results obtained from sagebrush phytogeochemical line sampling conducted over target areas in the north of the property indicate that they may be linked into one large mineralized system


    • Notice of Intent (NOI) permits have been received for drilling the Sirens and Como-Comets target areas


    • Exploration target area prioritization is ongoing ahead of the anticipated Q3/2021 receipt of an Exploration Area Plan-of-Operations (PoO) permit, which allows for more flexibility in drillhole location, including parts of the new Jurassic Park target


    • Exploration drilling is planned for Q4/2021

    Prognoz fast-track development approval
    26 August 2021



    Polymetal announces that the Board of Directors has approved an accelerated development of the open-pit mine at Prognoz with ore processing at the Nezhda concentrator. First payable concentrate production is expected in Q3 2023.


    https://www.polymetalinternati…ss-releases/26-08-2021-a/


    PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

    • Conventional open-pit mining will commence with pre-stripping in Q3 2022, with first ore mined in Q1 2023. The annual mine capacity will amount to 250 Kt of ore with average grade of approximately 600 g/t silver (Ag).
    • Ore will be processed through the 2.2 Nezhda concentrator. Ag recovery to high-grade clean silver-lead concentrate is expected to average 89%. Ore will be trucked by winter road from Prognoz to Nezhda production site (675 km) using contractors.
    • LOM payable Ag equivalent (AgEq) in concentrate is expected to comprise 120 Moz. Average annual payable AgEq production in 2023-2041 is estimated at roughly 6.5 Moz with an average AISC of US$ 13.8/AgEq oz.
    • The project’s upfront CAPEX to be incurred is estimated at US$ 105 million comprising US$ 20 million spending in 2021 for engineering and mine preparation and US$ 85 million in 2022-2024, which includes investment in mining fleet, remote site infrastructure, roads, and pre-stripping.
    • Project NPV1 and IRR stand at US$ 154 million and 35% respectively at US$ 20/oz silver price rising to US$ 323 million and 60% at US$ 25/oz price.

    Half-yearly report for the six months ended 30 June 2021
    26 August 2021


    https://www.polymetalinternati…ss-releases/26-08-2021-c/
    FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

    • Revenue in 1H 2021 increased by 12% to US$ 1,274 million compared to 1H 2020 (“year-on-year”) driven by higher metal prices. Average realised gold and silver prices tracked market dynamics and increased by 8% and 59%, respectively. Gold equivalent (“GE”) production was 714 Koz, a marginal decrease of 1% year-on-year. Gold sales remained stable year-on-year at 595 Koz but lagged production by 40 Koz mainly due to concentrate in transit build-up at Kyzyl. Silver sales were down 19% to 8.0 Moz, due to a lag between silver concentrate production and sales, which is expected to close in 2H 2021.
    • Group Total Cash Costs (“TCC”)1 were US$ 712/GE oz for 1H 2021, within the Company’s guidance of US$ 700-750/GE oz, and up 12% year-on-year due to above-CPI inflation in the mining industry and full-period impact of COVID-related costs, as well as planned decline in grades processed at Kyzyl and Albazino.
    • All-in Sustaining Cash Costs (“AISC”)1 amounted to US$ 1,019/GE oz, up 16% year-on-year, reflecting investments at Omolon (power complex, filtration building and mining fleet renewals) and Kyzyl (mining fleet), as well as accelerated stripping at Voro (Pescherny and Saum deposits) and Omolon (Burgali deposit). AISC are expected to decline in the second half of the year on the back of seasonally higher production and sales to meet the full year guidance of US$ 925-975/GE oz.
    • Adjusted EBITDA1 was US$ 660 million, an increase of 8% year-on-year, driven by higher commodity prices against the backdrop of stable production. The Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 52% (1H 2020: 54%).
    • Net earnings2 were US$ 419 million (1H 2020: US$ 376 million), with basic EPS of US$ 0.89 per share (1H 2020: US$ 0.80 per share), reflecting the increase in operating profit. Underlying net earnings1 increased by 15% to US$ 422 million (1H 2020: US$ 368 million).
    • Capital expenditure was US$ 375 million3, up 55% compared to US$ 242 million in 1H 2020, reflecting the construction at POX-2, Nezhda and Kutyn, combined with stripping at Veduga4, Voro and Omolon. Capital expenditure levels were also affected by inflationary pressures and COVID-related costs.
    • Given the continuing macroeconomic pressures, materials and wage inflation, as well as scope changes approved by the Board, including costs of the feasibility study for POX-3 and acceleration of Veduga and Prognoz projects, Polymetal revises its FY 2021 capex guidance to US$ 675-725 million (previously US$ 560 million). The guidance for 2022-2025 will be updated during the Company’s capital markets day in November 2021.
    • An interim dividend of US$ 0.45 per share (1H 2020: US$ 0.40 per share) representing 50% of the Group’s underlying net earnings for 1H 2021 has been approved by the Board in accordance with the dividend policy. A final dividend for 2020 of US$ 0.89 per share (total of US$ 421 million) was paid in May 2021.
    • Net debt1 increased to US$ 1,827 million during the period (31 December 2020: US$ 1,351 million), representing 1.05x of the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, significantly and favourably below the Group’s target leverage ratio of 1.5x. The increase in net debt was mainly driven by accelerated capital expenditures combined with seasonal working capital build-up.
    • Operating cash flow increased by 22% year-on-year to US$ 358 million, however free cash flow (“FCF”)3 represented a US$ 27 million outflow, compared to a US$ 54 million inflow a year earlier, driven by higher capital expenditure. As usual, FCF is expected to be stronger in the second half of the year due to seasonally higher production and working capital release.
    • Polymetal is on track to meet its 2021 production guidance of 1.5 Moz of gold equivalent. The company maintains its 2021 guidance range of US$ 700-750/GE oz and US$ 925-975/GE oz for TCC and AISC, respectively. This guidance remains contingent on the RUB/USD and KZT/USD exchange rates which have a significant effect on the Group’s local currency denominated operating costs.
