Investment Update
Ivanhoe Mines Limited ("Ivanhoe")
On 2 June 2014, Ivanhoe announced that it had been granted the
mining right for the development of its Platreef platinum,
palladium, rhodium and gold (3PE+AU), nickel and copper project in
South Africa. This is a significant milestone for Ivanhoe as it
also confirms approval by the South African Department of Minerals
and Energy of Ivanhoe's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment
(B-BBEE) structure. Once in production, the Platreef project is
planned to produce 785,000 ounces of 3PE+Au at an estimated US$341
per ounce of 3PE+Au, net of by-products. The ongoing work on the
project is being funded by the investment from a Japanese
consortium led by Itochu which acquired a 10% interest in the
Platreef Project for US$290 million in two tranches.
During May 2014, Ivanhoe undertook a fundraising via a "bought
deal" underwritten by three Canadian investment banks. The raising
involved the issue of a unit comprising one share plus one share
warrant carrying the right to acquire one share at C$1.80 per share
for 18 months. The units were placed at C$1.50 per share. A total
of C$150 million was raised including the subscription of C$25
million by Ivanhoe's Executive Chairman, Robert Friedland, plus a
15% over allotment provision. The proceeds of the raising will be
used to progress the Kamoa copper and the Kipushi zinc/copper
projects both in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Company
participated in the fundraising.
Metals Exploration Limited ("Metals Ex")
On 27 May 2014, Metals Ex announced that it had entered into a
US$83 million debt facility with HSBC and BNP Paribas banks to fund
the remaining development and construction of its Runruno Gold
project in the Philippines. Metals Ex reported that project
construction is 67% complete and is on schedule for commissioning
and first gold production in the first quarter of 2015. Once in
full production the mine is forecast to produce approximately
100,000 ounces of gold per annum at an operating cost of US$474 per
ounce. Completion of the debt facility, sufficient to take the
Runruno project through to full production, is an important
milestone for Metals Ex, as barring unforeseen circumstances, it
removes financing risk for the project.
