Inmet Announces Second Quarter Earnings from Continuing Operations of $1.36 per Share Compared to $0.83 per Share in the Second Quarter of 2011

31.07.2012  |  Marketwire

TORONTO, CANADA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/30/12 -- All amounts in US dollars unless indicated otherwise


Inmet (TSX: IMN) announces second quarter earnings from continuing operations of $1.36 per share compared to $0.83 per share in the second quarter of 2011.


Second quarter highlights



-- Strong earnings from operations


Earnings from operations were $109 million compared to $85 million in the second quarter of 2011. Significantly higher copper sales volumes increased operating earnings by $83 million - a result of higher production at Las Cruces and Cayeli. Lower realized copper and zinc prices and lower zinc sales volumes compared to the second quarter of 2011 reduced earnings by $43 million.



-- Las Cruces achieved design capacity for each month of the quarter


Las Cruces produced 18,300 tonnes of copper cathode in the quarter compared to 8,500 tonnes produced during the same period of 2011. Plant production exceeded 6,000 tonnes of copper cathode (design capacity) each month this quarter and unit costs decreased to $1.04 per pound of copper cathode produced.



-- Inmet begins reporting financial results in US dollars


Effective June 1, 2012, the US dollar was adopted as Inmet's functional and presentation currencies. We have restated all comparative financial statements from previously reported Canadian dollar amounts to US dollars using the May 31, 2012 transition rate of US$0.97 per Canadian dollar (see page 3 for more details).



-- Foreign exchange gains increased net income from continuing operations


We recognized $40 million in foreign exchange gains this quarter, mainly on the revaluation of our US dollar denominated cash and long-term bonds held in Inmet Mining prior to the change in its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar, and US dollar cash held in our euro-based entities.



-- We began full scale construction for Cobre Panama


During May 2012, we announced the completion of basic engineering for Cobre Panama, the launch of a financing plan to fully fund our 80 percent share of the related development costs and issued Full Notice to Proceed (FNTP) to start construction of the project.



-- Issuance of $1.5 billion in senior unsecured notes


On May 18, 2012, we issued $1.5 billion in senior unsecured notes the proceeds of which will be used to fund development of Cobre Panama. The notes bear a coupon rate of interest of 8.75 percent and mature on June 1, 2020.

In this press release, Inmet means Inmet Mining Corporation and we, us and our mean Inmet and/or its subsidiaries and joint ventures. This quarter refers to the three months ended June 30, 2012. Revised objective is as of July 30, 2012.


Change in Inmet's functional and presentation currencies to the US dollar


The decision to proceed with full scale development of Cobre Panama has significantly increased Inmet's exposure to the US dollar. Effective June 1, 2012, the US dollar was adopted as Inmet's functional currency on a prospective basis. We translated Inmet's May 31, 2012 financial statement items from Canadian dollars to US dollars using the May 31, 2012 exchange rate US $0.97 per Canadian dollar (Transition Rate). Our operating entities continue to measure the items in their financial statements using their functional currencies; Cayeli and Cobre Panama use the US dollar, and Pyhasalmi and Las Cruces use the euro.


At the same time we changed our presentation currency from Canadian dollars to US dollars and have reported our results in US dollars for the first time this quarter. We have restated all comparative financial statements from previously reported Canadian dollar amounts to US dollars using the Transition Rate.


Caution with respect to forward-looking statements and information


Securities regulators encourage companies to disclose forward-looking information to help investors understand a company's future prospects. This interim report contains statements about our business, results of operation and future financial condition.


These statements are "forward-looking" because we have used what we know and expect today to make a statement about the future. Forward-looking statements usually include words like may, expect, anticipate, believe or other similar words.

Actual events and results could be substantially different, however, because of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business or events that happen after the date of this interim report.


You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. As a general policy, we do not update forward-looking statements except if there is an offering document or where securities legislation requires us to do so.


Although we have attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements or information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Also, many of the factors are beyond the control of Inmet. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. Inmet undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements or information as a result of new information after the date of this interim report except as required by law. All forward-looking statements and information herein are qualified by this cautionary statement.

Understanding our performance


Metal prices


The table below shows the average metal prices we realized this quarter and year to date. The prices we realize include finalization adjustments - see Gross sales on page 8.

Zinc (per pound) $ 0.86 $ 1.01 -15% $ 0.89 $ 1.03 -14%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Copper


Copper prices on the London Metals Exchange (LME) averaged $3.57 per pound this quarter, a decrease of 9 percent from the first quarter of 2012 and a 14 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2011.


Zinc


Zinc prices on the LME averaged $0.87 per pound this quarter, a 5 percent decrease from last quarter's average price of $0.92 per pound and a 15 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2011.


Exchange rates


Exchange rates affect our revenue and earnings. The table below shows the average exchange rates we realized this quarter and year to date compared to 2011.

1 US$ to Turkish lira TL 1.80 TL 1.56 +15% TL 1.79 TL 1.56 +15%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Compared to the same quarter last year, the value of the US dollar appreciated 4 percent relative to the Canadian dollar, and appreciated 11 percent relative to the euro.


Our earnings are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates when we:



-- translate the results of our euro-based operations from their functional
currency to US dollars
-- revalue US dollars that we hold in cash at our operations whose
functional currency is the euro
-- revalue Canadian dollars and euros that we hold in cash and long-term
bonds corporately at Inmet
-- translate Cayeli's Turkish lira denominated costs into its functional
currency (US dollars).


Prior to the adoption of the US dollar as Inmet's functional currency effective June 1, 2012, our earnings were affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates when we revalued our US dollar denominated cash, investments in long-term bonds and senior unsecured notes held corporately at Inmet.


Treatment charges for copper increased


Treatment charges are one component of smelter processing charges. We also pay smelters for content losses and price participation.


The table below shows the average charges we realized this quarter and year to date. We finalized our terms with zinc smelters this quarter, agreeing on treatment charges for zinc concentrates that are lower than last year, reflecting a tightening zinc concentrate market. Results this quarter include adjustments we've made to first quarter charges, which were at 2011 rates.

We record sales that settle during the reporting period using the metal price on the day they settle. For sales that have not settled, we use an estimate based on the month we expect the sale to settle and the forward price of the metal at the end of the reporting period. We recognize the difference between our estimate and the final price by adjusting our gross sales in the period when we settle the sale (finalization adjustment).


This quarter, we recorded $4 million in negative finalization adjustments from first quarter 2012 sales.


At the end of this quarter, the following sales had not been settled:



-- 25 million pounds of copper provisionally priced at $3.49 per pound
-- 17 million pounds of zinc provisionally priced at $0.85 per pound.


The finalization adjustment we record for these sales will depend on the actual price we receive when they settle which can be up to five months from the time we initially record the sales. We expect these sales to settle in the following months:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Higher copper sales volumes, lower zinc sales volumes


Our sales volumes are directly affected by the amount of production from our mines and our ability to ship to our customers.



-- Copper production and sales volumes were higher this quarter and year to
date mainly because of production at Las Cruces and the mining of
higher-grade areas at Cayeli. The timing of shipments resulted in copper
sales volumes lagging production volumes by a combined 3,000 tonnes for
this quarter and a combined 2,900 tonnes in the second quarter of 2011.
-- Zinc production and sales volumes were lower than in 2011 due to lower
zinc grades at Cayeli and Pyhasalmi, which production was consistent
with our objectives.

2012 outlook for sales


We use our production objectives to estimate our sales target. Our production guidance for copper and zinc remains as previously disclosed.


Our revenues are also affected by the US dollar denominated metal prices we receive.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Our copper treatment and refining charges were higher than they were in 2011 because our terms with smelters were higher, as we expected, and because we sold more copper. This was offset by lower zinc treatment charges than last year due to lower zinc sales volumes at Cayeli and Pyhasalmi, and because our terms with smelters were lower.


2012 outlook for smelter processing charges and freight


We expect our costs for copper treatment and refining to be slightly higher in 2012 than in 2011 based on agreements we have signed with our customers. A tight concentrate supply is expected to keep the copper market in a deficit position in 2012. We do not expect to pay copper price participation.


We expect total zinc smelter processing charges, including price participation, to be lower than in 2011 and a continued deficit to exist in the zinc concentrate market in 2012.


Las Cruces sells its copper cathode production directly to buyers in the Spanish and Mediterranean markets and therefore does not incur smelting processing charges and has relatively low freight costs.


We expect our ocean freight costs to be similar to rates realized in 2011.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Direct production costs


Direct production costs were higher this year because higher production at Las Cruces increased variable electricity, consumables and royalty costs, somewhat offset by the impact of the weaker euro relative to the US dollar.


Inventory changes


Copper inventories at Cayeli and Las Cruces increased at the end of this quarter, and at Cayeli and Pyhasalmi in the second quarter of 2011, because of the timing of shipments.


Charges for mine rehabilitation and other non-cash charges


These charges include accruals for asset retirement obligations, provisions for severance and retirement and other non-cash expenses. We recorded an increase of $7 million this quarter in post-closure liabilities at our closed properties, and $4 million year to date. This increase was a result of a decrease in the discount rates we applied in determining the liabilities. Under International Financial Reporting Standards, we are required to revalue our asset retirement obligations for changes in market risk-free interest rates.


2012 outlook for cost of sales (excluding depreciation)


We expect consolidated direct production costs to be higher in 2012 because we expect higher production at Las Cruces to increase total variable costs, primarily electricity and royalties.


Our budget for 2012 continues to assume our costs at Cayeli and Pyhasalmi will be similar to those of 2011.


Certain variable costs may continue to affect our earnings, depending on metal prices:



-- royalties at Cayeli are affected by its net income
-- royalties at Las Cruces are affected by its net sales.


The total amount we report in US dollars will also be affected by the value of the euro relative to the US dollar.


Additionally, changes in market risk-free interest rates could significantly increase or decrease our costs related to mine rehabilitation at our closed properties. At June 30, 2012, the interest rates we used to value our asset retirement obligations at our closed properties ranged from 1.3 percent to 2.3 percent.

Depreciation was higher this quarter and for the year to date mainly because of higher copper sales volumes at Las Cruces and Cayeli.


2012 outlook for depreciation


We expect depreciation to be higher in 2012 because of higher sales volumes at Las Cruces.


Corporate costs


Corporate costs include corporate development and exploration, general and administration costs, taxes, interest and other income.


General and administration


General and administration costs were $8 million higher this quarter, and $9 million higher year to date compared to 2011. As a result of the decision to proceed with full construction of Cobre Panama, we recognized a non-cash stock based compensation expense of $7 million this quarter on Long-term Incentive Plan (LTIP) units issued in previous years that relate to the project. This expense represents the cumulative impact from the units' grant dates to June 30, 2012, on a 100 percent award basis, as no value was attributed to these units prior to a positive construction decision for Cobre Panama. See note 22c to the 2011 annual financial statements for more details on these units.


2012 outlook for general and administration


We expect general and administration costs to be higher in 2012 due to increased human resource costs supporting construction activities for Cobre Panama. We expect to recognize an additional expense of $1 million for the LTIP units for the balance of this year.

We recognized net foreign exchange gains of $20 million this quarter, and $15 million year to date, from the revaluation of US dollar denominated cash, held to maturity bonds and the senior unsecured notes held in Inmet prior to the change in its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar effective June 1, 2012. As of this date, Inmet's US dollar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities were no longer revalued. Instead we began recognizing foreign exchange impacts on the revaluation of Inmet's Canadian dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities with a gain of $4 million in June 2012 on Canadian dollar denominated cash and held to maturity bonds.


Additionally, in 2012 we began holding our euro-based operations' excess cash in US dollars. We recognized $15 million in foreign exchange gains this quarter and $10 million year to date on the revaluation of US-denominated cash balances to euros resulting from a weakening in the euro relative to the US dollar.


2012 outlook for investment and other income


Investment and other income is affected by our cash and held to maturity investment balances, and by interest rates and exchange rates. At June 30, 2012, we held Cdn $264 million in cash and held to maturity investments subject to translation in our US dollar-denominated accounts and US $404 million in cash subject to translation in our euro accounts.

Our tax expense changes as our earnings change.


The consolidated effective tax rate is lower this quarter compared to the same quarter of last year mainly because Cayeli's taxes were lower as it recognized a foreign exchange loss from its US dollar denominated cash (Cayeli's income taxes are denominated in Turkish lira). Additionally, there was a decrease in the statutory tax rate at Pyhasalmi from 26 percent to 24.5 percent this year.


2012 outlook for income tax expense


Other than the decrease in the statutory tax rate at Pyhasalmi from 26 percent to 24.5 percent, we expect the statutory tax rates at our operations to remain the same in 2012 as they were in 2011.


Discontinued operation - 2011


We sold our 18 percent equity interest in Ok Tedi in January 2011, and have reported our results relating to Ok Tedi in that year as discontinued operations. After-tax income of $81 million in 2011 includes net earnings of $17 million in January 2011, before the sale, and a gain on sale of $64 million net of withholding taxes. We paid Papua New Guinea withholding taxes of $27 million on the sale.


Results of our operations


2012 estimates


Our financial review by operation includes estimates for our 2012 operating earnings and operating cash flows. We have based these estimates on our 2012 objectives for production (using the midpoints in our production volume ranges) and cost per tonne of ore milled (cost per pound of copper produced at Las Cruces), as well as the following assumptions for the remaining six months of the year:



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copper price US $3.65 per pound
Zinc price US $0.90 per pound
euro to US$ exchange rate $1.30
Working capital Assume no changes for the year

Higher grades and recoveries increased copper production


Copper grades this quarter and year to date were higher than 2011, while zinc grades were lower, because we produced from different areas of the mine. This higher copper grade ore and lower zinc grade ore compared to last year led to higher copper recoveries and lower zinc recoveries, respectively.


The result was higher copper production and lower zinc production compared to 2011. Due to the timing of shipments, Cayeli's copper sales volumes lagged production volumes by approximately 1,900 tonnes this quarter and 2,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2011.


Cost per tonne of ore milled so far this year was slightly lower than last year and our target.


The three-year labour agreement at Cayeli expired in May of this year and the governmental authorities have not yet granted permission to begin the bargaining process as part of a general suspension of bargaining activities. We anticipate this process to begin later this year although we have no certainty on this timing. Once initiated, we will make a strong effort to manage labour cost escalations to maintain our competitiveness.


2012 outlook for production


In 2012, mill throughput should remain at approximately 1.2 million tonnes. We expect lower copper grades for the remainder of 2012 as we produce from lower grade areas of the mine. Zinc grades are expected to increase slightly for the remainder of 2012, however we continue to expect zinc grades to be lower than 2011. We continue to expect to produce between 27,000 tonnes and 30,000 tonnes of copper and between 36,000 and 39,800 tonnes of zinc. In 2012, lower zinc grades, as expected, account for the anticipated decline in zinc production compared to those in recent years. Both copper and zinc recoveries should remain near 2011 levels in 2012.

Plant production exceeded design capacity


Las Cruces production this quarter was significantly higher than the second quarter of 2011, more than doubling from 8,500 tonnes of copper cathode to 18,300 tonnes. Plant production exceeded the design capacity of 6,000 tonnes of copper cathode each month this quarter, including a record 6,191 tonnes in May. The ability to operate above design capacity allows us to offset any downtime that occurs from time to time. Overall recoveries increased to 86 percent this quarter with leach recoveries nearing design levels. The difference from design level recoveries is mostly in copper already leached but retained in the filtration residue. Our focus has shifted to improving recoveries in washing and filtration. Plant feed grades were significantly higher year to date compared to 2011 and we expect grades to gradually decline to approximately 6.5 percent during the remainder of 2012.


Las Cruces' copper sales volumes lagged production volumes by approximately 1,400 tonnes this quarter as a result of the timing of shipments.


Cost per pound of copper produced was significantly lower than in 2011 due to higher production volumes.


2012 outlook for production


For 2012, we continue to expect to produce between 61,700 and 68,600 tonnes of copper cathode, or approximately 90 percent of design capacity. No major construction projects or major shutdowns are planned for the remainder of the year. In total, we expect a minimum of 90 percent operating time throughout 2012.

Lower grades in line with annual objectives


Pyhasalmi maintained its strong performance, processing at an annualized rate in-line with its annual objective and achieving copper recoveries of 96 percent and zinc recoveries of 93 percent. Copper and zinc grades this quarter and year to date were lower than the comparative periods of 2011 and consistent with our plan. Copper and zinc production so far this year were therefore lower than in 2011.


Operating costs were in line with 2011 and our target as the impact of higher labour and materials costs was offset by a depreciation in the value of the euro relative to the US dollar.


2012 outlook for production


Pyhasalmi expects to mine 1.4 million tonnes of approximately 1 percent copper and 2 percent zinc in 2012, and produce between 11,300 tonnes and 12,600 tonnes of copper and 22,800 tonnes and 25,200 tonnes of zinc. Copper and zinc production should be lower than it was in 2011 as fewer higher grade stopes are available in the short-term mining sequence. Both copper and zinc grades should recover after 2012.


Pyhasalmi expects to produce 800,000 tonnes of pyrite in 2012 and expects to sell 915,000 tonnes of pyrite due to stronger demand from Asian customers. We are working to recover and filter an additional 60,000 tonnes of pyrite from our tailings pond to meet expected demand.

2012 outlook for capital spending


Capital spending of $10 million in 2012 will primarily be to replace underground mobile equipment, improve the tailings impoundment area, and upgrade the satellite ore grinding circuit and zinc cleaner cells.


Status of our development project


Cobre Panama


During May 2012, we announced the completion of basic engineering for Cobre Panama and issued FNTP to start construction of the project.


Basic engineering


The results of basic engineering indicate a capital cost estimate of $6.2 billion. The table below provides a breakdown of the capital costs estimate by major area:



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
total % of
Area (US$ millions) project
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Owner costs 885 14
Contingency 415 7
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project total costs 6,181 100
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) figure does not sum due to rounding


To reduce exposure to capital cost escalation, our objective is to commit as much of the capital as early as possible. We expect to commit in excess of $4 billion of the estimated capital by the end of 2012.


The power plant has been contracted under a lump sum, turn-key contract to SK Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. (SKEC), a Korean engineering and construction firm that has already secured suppliers for long-lead items such as boilers, steam turbine generators, and flue gas desulphurization systems.


The detailed engineering and construction for the process plant should be contracted in the third quarter this year and the bidding process is currently underway. The SAG mills, ball mills and wrap-around drives have been ordered, and are currently being fabricated with delivery expected next year.


The balance of project infrastructure is under contract with Joint Venture Panama (JVP), a joint venture led by SNC Lavalin Group Inc. (70 percent), with partners Techint International Construction Corp. (15 percent) and GyM.S.A., a member of Grana y Montero Group (15 percent) under an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management agreement. JVP's procurement activities are well underway and should result in the award of all major earthworks, site infrastructure, permanent camps and site services packages during the third quarter this year.


Procurement of the initial mine fleet is well underway and we expect to make a commitment by the third quarter this year.


We expect project completion to take approximately 44 months from the point we issued FNTP. The schedule below provides the expected timing of capital spending by year:



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total expenditures Inmet's
(US$ millions) (100% basis) 80% share

2015 1,155 924
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total direct costs $ 6,181 $ 4,945
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Other progress


Detailed engineering and the construction of the power plant are proceeding, and a deposit payment of $99 million was made this quarter representing 15 percent of the power plant's total contract cost. Additionally, permitting has progressed allowing us to begin site capture at the port and mine sites. We also continued with progress on roadwork and bypasses that will advance access to the project site. Survey and property acquisition for the transmission line continued as planned and we expect to start construction of the transmission line in late 2012.


As we began full-scale construction, we implemented our intensive flora and fauna rescue program to ensure the protection of the biodiversity of the area. Additionally, we continued to progress in resettling the people who will be physically and economically displaced by the project. We began clearing land for the two new indigenous communities and finalized housing designs jointly with the affected families.

2012 outlook for development


We plan to:



-- continue to build our privilege to operate through intensive dialogue
with stakeholders at the community, regional and national levels, to
increase their understanding of the project and its benefits to Panama,
and our understanding of their potential concerns
-- continue with mobilization of major contractors for site capture and
bulk earthworks
-- progress with detailed engineering and procurement for the power plant
-- award the EPC contract for the process plant and begin detailed
engineering and procurement
-- complete additional work on resource definition, metallurgical
recoveries, pit design and other engineering to allow us to include the
Balboa and Brazo mineralization in our mine plan for Cobre Panama
-- complete procurement of mobile mining equipment
-- develop and implement, with the assistance of our EP+CM contractors,
project specific health & safety and environmental and social mitigation
plans that are consistent with the ESIA and Inmet's corporate
responsibility standards
-- continue to grow the strength of our management team and human resources
dedicated to the project.


Total capital expenditures for 2012 on a 100 percent basis are expected to be $975 million, including spending prior to FNTP of $94 million, changes in net working capital and interest on the senior unsecured notes.


Managing Our Liquidity


We develop our financing strategy by looking at our long-term capital requirements and deciding on the optimal mix of cash, future operating cash flow, credit facilities and project financing.


Our capital structure includes a liquidity cushion that gives us the flexibility to deal with operational disruptions or general market downturns.

Operating cash flows this quarter were higher than the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to higher earnings from operations before non-cash charges and realized foreign exchange gains on our cash. Year to date, this impact was somewhat offset by an increase in net working capital, mainly reflecting higher accounts receivable at Cayeli and Pyhasalmi due to the timing of shipments and collections from customers.


2012 outlook for cash from operating activities


The table below shows expected operating cash flow from our operations, based on our outlook for metal prices and production (see page 15), and the assumptions in Results of our operations (starting on page 15).

Please see Results of our operations and Status of our development project for a discussion of actual results and our 2012 objectives. Capital spending this quarter was mainly for Cobre Panama.


Issuance of $1.5 billion in senior unsecured notes


On May 18, 2012, we issued $1.5 billion in senior unsecured notes, bearing a coupon rate of interest of 8.75 percent and maturing on June 1, 2020. The notes were priced at 98.584 percent of their face value, yielding proceeds of $1.43 billion net of the discount and transaction fees. Interest is payable on the notes semi-annually on December 1 and June 1 of each year. As the proceeds will be used to fund the development of Cobre Panama, interest costs will be capitalized to project assets during the construction period.


These notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain Inmet subsidiaries. The notes contain certain customary covenants and restrictions for a financing instrument of this type.


Purchase and maturing of long-term investments


This quarter, $78 million of our bond portfolio matured and $53 million was reinvested in new held-to-maturity bonds. The remaining $25 million of matured bonds was converted into cash.


Sale of 20 percent interest in Cobre Panama


On April 25, 2012, Korea Panama Mining Corporation (KPMC) completed its acquisition of a 20 percent interest in Minera Panama, owner and developer of Cobre Panama. KPMC acquired its interest for $161 million in cash, representing, together with US $30 million it already paid, its 20 percent share of development costs to closing. Together with the 20 percent of funding of the development costs of Cobre Panama it will provide, this amounts to funding of $1.4 billion.


Issuance of common shares - 2011


In May 2011, a subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Ltd. exchanged its subscriptions receipts for 7.78 million Inmet common shares and we received cash of $486 million.


Cash from discontinued operation - 2011


In January 2011, we sold our 18 percent equity interest in Ok Tedi for net proceeds of $297 million (after Papua New Guinea withholding taxes).


2012 outlook for investing and financing


Capital spending


At our operating mines, we expect capital spending to be $78 million in 2012, most significantly $48 million at Las Cruces, including $22 million for mine development, as well as several smaller expenditures including a tailings facility expansion, land purchase and certain plant improvements. We expect to spend $975 million on the construction and development of Cobre Panama this year.


Financing Cobre Panama construction costs


The senior unsecured notes issuance and the sale of a 20 percent interest in Cobre Panama to KPMC, together with pre-existing cash, represent a significant portion of the development costs for this project. We also continue to engage in discussions with interested parties to sell a portion of future gold and silver production attributable to our 80 percent interest in Cobre Panama. Our estimated timeframe to conclude this transaction is within the third quarter of this year. We are working to create additional financial flexibility and to further mitigate financial risk.


Financial condition


Our strategy is to make sure we have sufficient liquidity (including cash and committed credit facilities) to finance our operating requirements as well as our growth projects. At June 30, 2012, we had $3,276 million in total funds, including $2,733 million of cash and short-term investments and $543 million invested in long-term bonds.


Cash


At June 30, 2012 our cash and short-term investments of $2,733 million included cash and money market instruments that mature in 90 days or less.


Our policy is to invest excess cash in highly liquid investments of the highest credit quality, and to limit our exposure to individual counterparties to minimize the risk associated with these investments. We base our decisions about the length of maturities on our cash flow requirements, rates of return and other factors.


At June 30, 2012, we held cash and short-term investments in the following:



-- A to AAA rated treasury funds and money market funds managed by leading
international fund managers, who are investing in money market and
short-term debt securities and fixed income securities issued by leading
international financial institutions and their sponsored securitization
vehicles.
-- Cash, term and overnight deposits with leading Canadian and
international financial institutions.


See note 4 on page 44 in the consolidated financial statements for more details about where our cash is invested.


Long-term bonds


We hold a bond portfolio to provide better yields while minimizing our investment risk. As at June 30, 2012, the portfolio was $543 million and included:



-- 59 percent US Treasury bonds
-- 4 percent Government of Canada bonds
-- 28 percent Canadian Provincial Government bonds
-- 9 percent corporate bonds.


The bonds mature between June 2012 and May 2016. Although our intention is to hold these investments to maturity, there is a liquid market for them and they are available to us at any time.


Restricted cash


Our restricted cash balance of $75 million as at June 30, 2012 included:



-- $19 million in cash collateralized letters of credit for Inmet
-- $54 million at Las Cruces related to a reclamation bond, issuing letters
of credit to suppliers and the local water authority and for its labour
bond to the government
-- $2 million for future reclamation at Pyhasalmi.


COMMON SHARES



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2012 69,365,748
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deferred share units outstanding as of June 30, 2012 (redeemable
on a one-for-one basis for common shares) 98,109
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Additional risk factor


We have significantly increased our cash balance following the issuance of our senior unsecured notes for the construction of Cobre Panama. Based on our analysis, we do not believe that we are a "passive foreign investment company" (PFIC) for the current tax year. For U.S. federal income tax purposes a non-U.S. corporation may be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75 percent of its gross income is passive income, or (2) on average at least 50 percent of the gross value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. If we were classified as a PFIC, U.S. taxpayers that hold our common shares could be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including increased tax liabilities and possible additional reporting requirements. As the determination of PFIC status is made annually at the close of each tax year and is dependent in part on factors beyond our control (such as changes in the relative values of our assets), there can be no assurance that Inmet will not become a PFIC in the current or any future tax year. U.S. taxpayers that hold our common shares are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding common shares if Inmet were considered a PFIC in any year.


Supplementary financial information


Pages 29 and 30 include supplementary financial information about cash costs. These measures do not fall into the category of International Financial Reporting Standards.


We use unit cash cost information as a key performance indicator, both on a segmented and consolidated basis. We have included cash costs as supplementary information because we believe our key stakeholders use these measures as a financial indicator of our profitability and cash flows before the effects of capital investment and financing costs, such as interest.


Since cash costs are not recognized financial measures under International Financial Reporting Standards, they should not be considered in isolation of earnings or cash flows. There is also no standard way to calculate cash costs, so they are not a reliable way to compare us to other companies.


About Inmet


Inmet is a Canadian-based global mining company that produces copper and zinc. We have three wholly-owned mining operations: Cayeli (Turkey), Las Cruces (Spain) and Pyhasalmi (Finland), and have an 80 percent interest in the Cobre Panama development project, currently in construction.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements


1. Corporate information


Inmet Mining Corporation is a publicly traded corporation listed on the Toronto stock exchange. Our registered and head office is 330 Bay Street, Suite 1000, Toronto Canada. Our principal activities are the exploration, development and mining of base metals.


2. Basis of presentation and statement of compliance


We prepared these interim consolidated financial statements using the same accounting policies and methods as those described in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, except as described in note 3. These interim financial statements are in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). Accordingly, certain information and disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards have been omitted or condensed. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires us to use certain critical accounting estimates and requires us to exercise judgement in applying our accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, have been set out in note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, which are included in our 2011 annual report.


3. Change in functional and presentation currencies to the US dollar


Prior to June 1, 2012, Inmet's functional and presentation currencies were the Canadian dollar. The decision to proceed with full scale development of Cobre Panama has significantly increased Inmet's exposure to the US dollar considering:



-- Inmet's share of the development costs for the project, the vast
majority of which are denominated in US dollars; and
-- our issuance of US $1.5 billion of senior unsecured notes


Consequently, effective June 1, 2012, the US dollar was adopted as Inmet's functional currency. IFRS requires a change in functional currency to be accounted for prospectively. We therefore translated Inmet's May 31, 2012 financial statement items from Canadian dollars to US dollars using the May 31, 2012 exchange rate US $0.97 per Canadian dollar (Transition Rate). The resulting translated amounts for non-monetary items are treated as their historical cost. Our operating entities continue to measure the items in their financial statements using their functional currencies; Cayeli and Cobre Panama use the US dollar, and Pyhasalmi and Las Cruces use the euro.


Following the change in Inmet's functional currency, we elected to change our presentation currency from Canadian dollars to US dollars as we believe that changing the presentation currency to US dollars will provide shareholders with a more accurate reflection of our underlying financial performance and position. We therefore began to report our consolidated financial statements in US dollars with our June 30, 2012 interim financial statements. The change in presentation currency represents a voluntary change in accounting policy. We have restated all comparative financial statements from previously reported Canadian dollar amounts to US dollars using the Transition Rate.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


(a) On May 18, 2012, we issued $1,500 million aggregate principal amount of 8.75 percent senior unsecured notes (Notes) due 2020. The Notes were priced at 98.584 percent of their face value, yielding proceeds of $1,445 million net of the discount and directly attributable transaction costs. The Notes have been designated as Other liabilities and accounted for initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method with a yield to maturity of 9.4 percent. Interest is payable on the notes semi-annually on December 1 and June 1 of each year. As the proceeds will be used to fund the development of Cobre Panama, interest costs will be capitalized to project assets during the construction period of this project.


These notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain Inmet subsidiaries. The notes contain certain customary covenants and restrictions for a financing instrument of this type.


We may redeem, prior to June 1, 2015, up to 35 percent of the Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.75 percent of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Prior to June 1, 2016, we may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at 100 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, plus an amount equal to the greater of 1.0 percent of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed and the excess, if any, of the present value of the June 1, 2016 redemption price plus required interest payments through June 1, 2016 over the principal amount of the note. We may redeem the Notes at any time on or after June 1, 2016 at the redemption prices and periods set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest:



June 1, 2016 104.375 percent
June 1, 2017 102.188 percent
June 1, 2018 and thereafter 100.000 percent


7. Stock-based compensation


During 2012, the following issuances were made under our equity-based compensation plans:


Stock option plan


On February 22, 2012, a grant of 83,084 options was made to senior management, with an exercise price of Cdn $64.17, graded vesting and an expiry date of February 21, 2019. We calculated the compensation expense for these options using the Black Scholes valuation model and assuming the following weighted average parameters, resulting in a weighted average fair value per option of Cdn $29.23 per option: 5 year expected life, 50 percent expected volatility, expected dividend rate of 0.3 percent annually and a risk free interest rate of 1.5 percent.


Performance share unit (PSU) plan


On February 21, 2012, the Board granted 36,580 PSUs to senior executives based on a 5 day Volume Weighted Average Price prior to the grant date of Cdn $64.17 and a 3 year vesting period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014.


We used a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the compensation expense for the PSUs assuming no forfeitures, 3 year historical average volatilities and a 3-year risk free interest rate of 1.0%, resulting in a June 30, 2012 fair value per PSU of Cdn $41.73.


We recognized the following share-based compensation expense in general and administration relating to all outstanding equity-based awards:

Share award plan 48 147 95 292
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 8,132 $ 1,469 10,329 $ 2,688
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


(a) As a result of the decision to proceed with full construction of Cobre Panama, we recognized a stock based compensation expense of $ 7 million this quarter on the LTIP units issued in previous years that relate to the project. This expense represents the cumulative impact from the units' grant dates to June 30, 2012 on a 100 percent award basis as no value was attributed to these units prior to a positive construction decision for Cobre Panama.

9. Sale of 20 percent interest in Cobre Panama


On April 25, 2012, Korea Panama Mining Corporation (KPMC) completed its acquisition of a 20 percent interest in Minera Panama, owner and developer of Cobre Panama. KPMC acquired its interest for $161 million in cash, representing, together with US $30 million it already paid, its 20 percent share of development costs to that date. As we continued to control Minera Panama after the closing of this transaction, it is treated as a capital transaction with the $8 million difference between 20 percent of our book value of Cobre Panama and the consideration received recognized in retained earnings.
