NMC Resource Announces Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
- Sold 695,776 pounds of molybdenum
- Recorded $6.8 million in sales revenue
- Recorded $1,482,816 in EBITDA at NMC Moland Mine ("Moland")
- To receive R&D fund from the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation & Planning ("KETEP")
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, NMC Resource produced 601 tonnes (667 wet tonnes) of molybdenum concentrates at 0.29% MoS2 mill head grade and at 92% recovery. Production increased by 7% compared to the corresponding period of 2012. On the other hand, sales revenue reduced by 7% to $6.8 million from last year due to 25% lower molybdenum average market price (US$10.54-2013; US$14-2012). NMC Resource reached $1.3 million in adjusted EBITDA. NMC Resource continues to focus on improving production profile and reducing operating costs.
NMC Resource has also been working on developing lubricant grade molybdenum concentrates and was awarded a shared research grant in the amount of KRW1,350,000,000 (approximately $1,313,550) to be allocated over the coming three years. This grant was given to the Company and the Korea Institute of Geoscience from the KETEP to develop lubricant grade molybdenum concentrates at Moland.
