Depressed molybdenum ("moly") market prices and uncertain capital market for the mining industry continue. The average moly market price was US$10.32 per pound in 2013. This price was 19% lower compared to 2012 (US$12.74). Despite this price drop, NMC Resource's revenue ($9,089,553) decreased by only 5% from 2012 because the Company sold more pounds of moly. 943,630 lbs of moly were sold in 2013, a 14% rise from 2012 (830,266 lbs Mo).

NMC Resource achieved the goal of improving production profile while reducing operating costs. 813 tonnes (904 wet tonnes) of moly concentrates were produced in 2013, a 10% improvement from 2012 while maintaining mine operating expenses almost at the same level (0.6% reduction). The Company's diligence on cost-cutting on non-strategic expenses improved the net cash provided by operating activities by 175% to 7.5 cents per common share compared to 2.7 cents in 2012. Total mine operating costs (based on the currency of Korean won) including investing activities at NMC Moland Mine ("Moland") reduced by 9.3% from 2012 (KRW8,828,139,233) to 2013 (KRW8,006,334,715), and by 6.3% from 2011 (KRW9,425,395,221) to 2012. Despite these achievements, due to non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization ($3,377,189), impairment of mining assets ($2,441,745)**, and income tax expenses ($2,215,572: deferred tax reduction)***, the net loss for 2013 was widened to $6,990,260, $0.25 per common share.

With the expectation of increasing profit margin, NMC Resource made progress in 2013 on developing lubricant-grade moly concentrates. The Company was awarded a shared research grant in the amount of KRW1,350,000,000 (approximately $1,406,500 at the FX rate of April 3rd, 2014) to be allocated over a three-year period. This grant was given to the Company and the Korea Institute of Geoscience from the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation & Planning to develop lubricant grade moly concentrates at Moland.

On Boss Mountain, NMC Resource will work to make prudent allocations of capital. The Company compiled old data of Boss Mountain (mostly from Noranda Mines Ltd.), and built a block model internally. Also, KORES, a state-owned mining company of South Korea implemented a project assessment of Boss Mountain for future collaborative work. The Company intends to implement a 3,000-metre drill program in 2014 or 2015.

NMC Resource will consider strategic opportunities to improve shareholder value.

* Adjusted EBITDA: Net earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, share-based payment and impairment loss

** This write down is required under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") when the recoverability of the book value of an asset is in question. The falling price of molybdenum has made it uncertain that all of the mine assets will be recovered. However, once the price of molybdenum rises, and the future price justifies the carrying value of the mine assets, the impairment charge for 2013 can be reversed.

*** As stated above, the price of molybdenum decreased substantially in 2013. Under IFRS and as a result of the lower mineral price, the value of the income tax losses carried forward is also in question. As a result, the loss carryforwards, which had reported as an asset in prior years, have been written off in the current year. However, if the price of molybdenum rises to historical levels, then the value of the income tax losses realized in previous years can again be recognized as an asset. The write-off of the value of the loss carryforwards in the year only affected the company's deferred income tax assets, the write-off had no effect on the company's current taxes payable or the amount of tax losses available to be carried forward to future years.
