NMC Resource Announces Private Placement and Management Focus for 2013
Management Focus for 2013
NMC Resource has started the year 2013 with a sound strategy: to strengthen the bottomline of NMC Resource's operation and to make balanced investments to capitalize on opportunities. NMC Resource's track record includes fast-tracking the mine development, resource expansion (a good part of exploration program was funded by KORES), production ramp-up (capital expenditure was funded by a South Korean government agency) and optioning Boss Mountain as a brownfield project.
NMC Resource intends to strengthen its bottomline by improving the production and by venturing into new businesses. Year 2012 was a tough one for NMC Resource due to the low molybdenum (moly) price; however, NMC Resource produced 738 tonnes of moly concentrates (7% increase from 2011) and kept the positive operating cash flow despite the challenging moly price. For 2013, NMC Resource aims to increase the production by 10% while managing the operating costs efficiently. Also for 2013, NMC Resource plans to develop moly lubricant and to explore commodity trading business for the existing clients.
NMC Resource plans to make balanced investments (investing in new opportunities while managing risks) to create value. NMC Resource intends to implement work program at Boss Mountain this summer. In addition, management is working towards optioning new projects outside moly sector.
