International Minerals Reports $12.0 Million in Pre-Tax Income for Second Fiscal Quarter Ending December 31, 2011
SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/12 -- International Minerals Corporation (TSX: IMZ) (SWISS: IMZ) (the 'Company') reports continuing excellent financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011 (the 'Current Quarter').
Current Quarter highlights include $12.0 million in pre-tax income and $11.1 million in consolidated net and comprehensive income after tax ($0.09 per share), including net equity earnings of $13.1 million from the Company's 40% interest (Hochschild Mining 60%) in the Pallancata Mine in Peru.
For the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, the Company reported pre-tax income of $27.2 million and consolidated net and comprehensive income after tax of $26.3 million ($0.22 per share).
In addition, during the Current Quarter the Company received cash distributions of $12.0 million from the Pallancata Mine, representing its 40% share of free cash flow from prior periods. IMZ anticipates that it will receive its next cash distribution from Pallancata in early April of 2012.
Other notable highlights include the following news release announcements: (a) on December 19, 2011, the results of an independent Preliminary Economic Assessment ('scoping study') for the Company's 100%-owned Converse project in Nevada and (b) on January 11, 2012, the results of an independent Feasibility Study for the Inmaculada project in Peru (40% IMZ / 60% Hochschild).
All amounts in this news release are reported in US dollars.
Highlights for the Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 2011:
During the Current Quarter, the Company achieved the following significant results:
- Pre-tax income of $12.0 million for the Current Quarter compared to $16.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 (the 'Prior Year's Quarter'). Income for the Prior Year's Quarter included a non-recurring gain of $2.4 million arising from the sale of an 11% interest in the Inmaculada property to Hochschild in December 2010.
- After-tax consolidated net and comprehensive income of $11.1 million (or $0.09 per share) compared to consolidated net and comprehensive income after tax of $16.6 million (or $0.14 per share) for the Prior Year's Quarter.
- Realized net earnings of $13.1 million for the Current Quarter from the Company's 40% share of the Pallancata Mine after the deduction of the Company's monitoring costs and the amortization of certain non-reimbursable costs, compared to $16.3 million for the Prior Year's Quarter.
- Cash and equivalents at December 31, 2011 increased to $95.7 million from $51.7 million at December 31, 2010 and $86.1 million at June 30, 2011.
- At December 31, 2011 working capital remained robust at $59.8 million compared to working capital of $52.4 million at June 30, 2011.
- Consolidated cash flow from operating activities for the Current Quarter was $10.7 million compared to consolidated cash flow from operating activities of $20.6 million for the Prior Year's Quarter. Cash flow from operating activities is materially affected by the timing and amount of cash distributions from the Pallancata Mine for any given reporting period.
- Gross royalty revenue received by IMZ from its 3% net smelter return royalty from Barrick's Ruby Hill gold mine (the 'Barrick Royalty') was $1.3 million for the Current Quarter (net royalty income was $0.8 million). These figures compare to gross royalty revenue of $1.2 million and net royalty income of $1.0 million for the Prior Year's Quarter.
- The Pallancata Mine (on a 100% project basis) produced approximately 2.3 million ounces of silver and 8,304 ounces of gold in the Current Quarter, compared to 2.8 million ounces of silver and 10,045 ounces of gold in the Prior Year's Quarter.
- The Company's 40% share of production from the Pallancata Mine in the Current Quarter was approximately 916,000 ounces of silver and 3,322 ounces of gold compared to 1.1 million ounces of silver and 4,018 ounces of gold for the Prior Year's Quarter. The decrease in gold and silver production for the Current Quarter compared to the Prior Year's Quarter was due to a decrease in the grade of both silver and gold processed, due primarily to the fact that the higher metal prices prevailing during the Current Quarter allowed lower grade material to be mined profitably.
- Direct site costs for the Current Quarter at the Pallancata Mine were approximately $2.35 per ounce silver produced (after gold by-product credits) and total cash costs (as defined by the Gold Institute) were $6.26 per ounce silver (after gold by-product credits). For the Prior Year's Quarter, direct site costs and total cash costs were lower at $1.05 and $4.89 per ounce silver, respectively.
- Direct site and total cash costs were higher in the Current Quarter compared to the Prior Year's Quarter because of lower metal production, inflationary cost pressures and an unfavorable appreciation of the Peruvian Sol against the US dollar for mine-related site costs.
Other Financial Information for the Three-month Period Ended December 31, 2011:
- Other expenses totaled $1.7 million for the Current Quarter compared to $1.9 million for the Prior Year's Quarter. The decrease in costs in the Current Quarter are mostly due to lower interest and financing costs related to the convertible debentures, as there is no remaining amortization of the deferred financing costs on the debentures because of their maturity in May 2012. The only significant increase in spending compared to the Prior Year's Quarter was a $206,000 increase in professional fees, primarily incurred during the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
- Other items represented a reduction in income of $0.3 million for the Current Quarter compared to net other income of $1.3 million for the Prior Year's Quarter. As previously discussed, other income for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 included a $2.4 million gain from the sale of an 11% interest in Inmaculada to Hochschild.
- In the Current Quarter, the Company recognized a withholding tax expense of $820,000, which was the Peruvian withholding tax (4.1%) on a cash dividend received by IMZ from its Peruvian subsidiary.
- At December 31, 2011, the Company's total deferred income tax liability was $8.0 million, which represents the deferred tax liability recorded on the January 2010 acquisition of Metallic Ventures. This tax liability is expected to be a non-cash item and will be amortized at such time as operations commence at the Goldfield or Converse properties or it will be expensed if they are both sold or abandoned.
The Company accounts for its 40% interest in Suyamarca (which owns and operates the Pallancata Mine and the Inmaculada development property) on an equity accounting basis.
Financial Results for the Six-Month Period Ended December 31, 2011:
- The Company reported pre-tax income of $27.2 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011 (the 'Current Six Month Period') compared to pre-tax income of $25.2 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 (the 'Previous Six Month Period').
- Consolidated net and comprehensive income after tax for the Current Six Month Period was $26.3 million ($0.22 per share) compared to $25.2 million in consolidated net and comprehensive income ($0.22 per share) for the Previous Six Month Period and the increase was primarily due to increased equity income from the Pallancata Mine.
- Consolidated cash flow from operating activities for the Current Six Month Period was $30.4 million compared to $22.1 million for the Previous Six Month Period, with the increase due to an increase in cash distributions from the Pallancata Mine.
- Net equity income from the Pallancata Mine for the Current Six Month Period was $27.9 million compared to $25.2 million for the Previous Six Month Period. This increase was largely a function of higher metal prices offset by lower metal production and sales.
- Net royalty income from the Barrick Royalty for the Current Six Month Period was $1.5 million compared to net royalty income of $1.6 million for the Previous Six Month Period.

Notes:
1. The reported head grades for silver and gold are based on the overall metallurgical balance for the process plant.
2. The difference between 'produced' metal ounces and 'sold' metal ounces is in-process concentrate. Silver sales have been rounded.
3. Silver and gold ounces sold are reported as gross ounces.
4. Direct site costs per ounce silver and total cash costs per ounce silver reflect a 'mined ore inventory adjustment'. IMZ believes that this calculation more accurately matches costs with ounces of production (Also see notes 4 and 5 below).
5. Direct site costs per ounce silver comprise direct mining costs, mined ore inventory adjustment, toll processing costs and mine general and administrative costs. The cost per ounce is net of gold by-product credits.
6. Total cash costs, using the Gold Institute definition, comprise: mine operating costs, mined ore inventory adjustment, toll processing costs, mine general and administrative costs, Hochschild management fee, concentrate transportation and smelting costs, local and regional taxes and the government royalty. The costs per ounce are net of gold by-product credits.
Company Outlook
During the 2012 fiscal and calendar years, the Company's exploration and development efforts are focused on:
- At the Pallancata silver mine in Peru:
- Working with Hochschild to continue production at the 3,000 tpd mining rate to produce approximately 8.0 million ounces of silver and 34,000 ounces of gold in calendar year 2012 (the Company's estimate on a 100% project basis).
- Increasing mineral resources and reserves to extend the existing mine life (approximately a 4 years based on current reserves).
- Working with Hochschild to continue production at the 3,000 tpd mining rate to produce approximately 8.0 million ounces of silver and 34,000 ounces of gold in calendar year 2012 (the Company's estimate on a 100% project basis).
- At the Inmaculada gold-silver project in Peru:
- Working with Hochschild to continue with mine development and construction with production targeted to commence prior to the end of calendar year 2013.
