Gold slides lower as yields climb and investors shed ETF holdings

  • Gold has moved down to the key $1,685/oz resistance.
  • The increasing potential of a 100bp Fed hike next week following Tuesday’s US inflation data has knocked gold’s short-term rally.
  • The dollar’s strength on the back of Powell’s expected hawkishness has added further downward pressure to precious metals.
  • Gold ETF holdings have fallen for the 13th straight day and sit at the lowest level since Jan. 24th.
  • A reversal in both real yields and the dollar’s current rally will provide a necessary tailwind to gold.

Zinc (US$ 3,246/t) prices rise in low stock levels and supply disruption

  • Around half of all EU aluminium and zinc refining has been suspended on power prices and availability issues (Eurometaux).
  • A number of Chinese aluminium smelters have also cut back due to low hydropower availability.
  • The market is likely to turn towards the rebuilding of Ukraine once Russian forces are finally ejected.
  • Russia is unlikely to want to pay for the damage their forces have inflicted though regime change in Russia may open the possibility of reparations,

LME nickel inventories fell 936 tonnes this week, most since July

Company News

(Anglo Asian Mining PLC (AIM:AAZ, OTC:AGXKF)) 72p, Mkt Cap £82m – Earnings supported by higher gold prices with 4c dividend recommended

BUY

  • Production amounted to 28.8koz GE (H1/21: 32.2koz) with lower processed grades accounting for a decline in output.
  • Production includes 20.9koz gold, 1.3kt copper and 99koz silver (H1/21: 24.2koz / 1.3kt / 79koz).
  • Gold bullion sales totalled 11.3koz (H1/21: 19.6koz), net of 12.75% PSA share, at an average realised gold price of $1,901/oz (H1/21: $1,776/oz).
  • The Company held 7.2koz in unsold gold valued at ~$12m using spot prices, up on 1.8koz as of FY21.
  • Concentrate sales generated $9.8 (H1/21: $8.5m), net of 12.75% PSA, from the sale of 9.1kt (H1/21: 8.4kt).
  • Total sales amounted to $31.5m (H1/21: $43.5m) reflecting lower gold dore sales volumes.
  • AISC averaged $983/oz (H1/21: $848/oz) reflecting lower production as well as higher costs for power (+11%yoy), consumables (grinding balls, in particular) and fuel offset by lower cyanide costs driven by the changing composition of the ore feedstock.

EBITDA climbed to $14.4m (H1/21: $14.0m) implying 45% EBITDA margins (H1/21: 32%) reflecting higher commodity prices.

  • PAT was little changed at $3.5m (H1/21: $3.6m) taking EPS to 3.0c (H1/21: 3.1c).
  • FCF amounted to -$-13.2m (H1/21: -$0.4m) reflecting a working capital charge of -$17.2m (H1/21: -$0.8m) on the back of an increase in unsold gold dore and copper concentrate inventories.
  • Capital expenditure amounted to $7.2m (H1/21: $6.1m) including $4.8m spent at Gedabek on deferred stripping, new heap leach pad construction, equipment and mine development costs as well as $2.4m spent in exploration costs at Gedabek, Gosha, Ordubad and Vejnaly.
  • Closing cash balance was $21.2m (FY21: $37.5m) and the Company remained debt free excluding $3.1m in leases.
  • The Board recommended an interim dividend of 4c equivalent to $4.6m payment and implying ~10% annualised dividend yield with an ex-dividend date set at 29 September.
  • FY22 production guidance is for 54-58koz GE including 40-43koz gold and 2.4-2.5kt copper with contribution from Vejnaly and Hasan expected to see annual output coming at the upper end of the guidance range.
  • Production at Hasan and Vejnaly is due to start before the end of the year with processed material volumes to ramp up in 2023.
  • Zafar is expected to come online next year delivering polymetallic ore for the flotation plant with development costs estimated at ~$15m.
  • Furthermore, the Company highlighted securing three new mining concessions earlier in July expanding existing land package ~50% to ~2,500 sq km and representing a transformational deal underpinning the Company’s strategic target to transition into a mid-tier copper focused producer.

Conclusion: Interims reflect lower sales volumes but report higher earnings margins driven by stronger realised gold prices. The Board recommended 4c interim dividend little changed from the previous year and extending the Company’s dividend paying record. The team is working on adding new ore sources to feed the Gedabek processing complex with Hasan, Vejnaly and Zafar guided to start contributing to production over the next 3-12 months. Meanwhile, the Company is assessing the potential of newly secured license areas that are expected to support the Company’s strategy to become a mid-tier copper producer.

(Galantas Gold Corp (AIM:GAL, TSX-V:GAL, OTC:GALKF)) 33.5p, Mkt Cap £35m – Mining contractor appointed for Joshua Vein development

  • Galantas reports that QME Limited have been appointed as a mining contractor to develop the access and exploration drives to the Joshua Vein at its Omagh Gold Project in Northern Ireland.
  • QME are based in Ireland and undertake contract mining projects in Ireland and abroad.
  • Previous clients include New Boliden Tara Mines, where they completed 14km of development mining and installation of underground services.
  • They also work at the Saint Gobian Gyproc Drummond Mine, Monaghan and Dalradian Gold’s Curraghinalt Project with previous clients including Lundin Mining and Barrick Gold.
  • QME will complete 600m of underground development from January 2023 to May 2023, followed by access drives to two mining levels at the Joshua Vein in Q3 2023.
  • The company has completed approximately 2,500m of development and is now ready to begin production on the Kearney vein at its Cavanacaw Mine.
  • Development ore from the underground operation has been successfully run through the existing surface processing plant, that produces a gold concentrate using conventional froth flotation without the use of cyanide or mercury.

Conclusion: Galantas continue to make strong progress at Cavanacaw and is now ready to begin production on the Kearney Vein, while assay results from the ongoing 4,000m underground drill programme continue to yield exciting results. We also note that the company recently completed an equity raise for gross proceeds of C$6.9m in order to achieve its key short-term goal of getting the mine into steady state production.

(Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR)) – 0.18p, Mkt cap £3.4m – Bibemi drilling demonstrates a second set of gold bearing veins

  • Oriole Resources has released results from its 531.3m, six-hole, phase 4 drilling programme at the 90% owned Bibemi prospect in Cameroon.
  • The company says that the results “prove the existence of multiple grade-bearing, sub-horizontal veins in addition to the previously tested sub-vertical veins”.
  • CEO, Tim Livesey, explained that “At Bakassi Zone 1, the vertical hole BBDD050 was designed to test for gold mineralisation in sub-horizontal extensional quartz veins. These sub-horizontal veins are in addition to the already proven sub-vertical quartz-tourmaline veins, and as such they offered the opportunity to significantly increase the volume of mineralisation by creating a lattice-work of mineralisation”.
  • Hole BBDD-050, which was drilled vertically, intersected multiple mineralised horizons including:
  • An intersection of 4.3m at an average grade of 3.33g/t gold from a depth of 53.30m; and
  • 5.50m at an average grade of 1.80g/t gold from 66m depth; and
  • 14.80m averaging 4.27g/t gold from 104.30m and including a 5.00m section from 109.00m which averaged 10.22g/t; and
  • 7.70m averaging 2.74g/t gold from 132.10m depth with an additional single metre at 141.80m which assayed 17.01g/t gold; and
  • 9.60m at an average grade of 1.11g/t gold from 148.70m depth.
  • Additional results reported in today’s announcement include intersections of 3.00m at an average grade of 1.17g/t gold from 41.70m and of 8.00m averaging 1.06g/t from 65.30m depth both in hole BBDD-052.
  • Hole BBDD-053 located on the Lawa East prospect intersected 3.00m averaging 12.30g/t from a depth of 58m and hole BBDD-054 intersected a single metre, from a depth of 37.00m, assaying 6.52g/t gold.
  • The company also deepened hole BBDD-034, which was drilled during the Phase 2 programme recording an additional 2m wide intersection averaging 39.42g/t from a depth of 160.00m and including a single metre assaying 75.36g/t gold from 161.00m.
  • Oriole Resources explains that the extension of BBDD-034 “was completed to test the down-dip continuity of shear-related veining that returned 2.50m grading 8.90 g/t Au in Phase 3-hole BBDD045”.
  • Explaining that the identification of the additional vein set offers “the potential at Bakassi Zone 1 to composite the vein sets, in order to create wider zones of gold mineralisation that could be considered economic for open pit or underground bulk mining methods” Mr. Livesey said that Oriole Resources “will continue to refine our geological and grade models and report back to the market as we progress our work as the dry season begins during Q4 this year”.
  • In our opinion, the high grades seen in some of the intersections reported today may hint at the possibility of enriched shoots but we consider that substantial resource drilling will be required to establish the viability of that hypothesis and it appears that the company is focussed on establishing sufficient tonnage to support bulk mining.

Conclusion: The identification of a second mineralised vein set at Bibemi provides the potential to build resource tonnage more quickly than would be expected for the original sub-vertical vein set alone.

(Tertiary Minerals PLC (AIM:TYM)) – 0.18p, Mkt cap £1.7m – Exploration collaboration with First Quantum in Zambia

  • Tertiary Minerals has announced an exploration collaboration agreement with First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FQM) in Zambia.
  • The agreement establishes a Technical Committee to oversee the continuing exploration of Tertiary Minerals’ Mukai project which is situated adjacent to First Quantum’s Trident project containing the Sentinel copper and the Enterprise nickel mines.
  • At this stage, no commercial terms relating to the agreement have been disclosed and we assume that the agreement relates solely to technical issues with the jointly run “Technical Committee … [advising and assisting] … Tertiary in relation to all technical matters relating to the Projects”.
  • The agreement also includes the Mushima North exploration licence, which is located in the Kasempa District, in an area actively being explored by First Quantum for IOCG (iron-oxide-copper-gold) type deposits.
  • Under the agreement, “FQM will provide Tertiary with all of its historical exploration data for the two licence areas and Tertiary will submit its exploration results to the Technical Committee on an ongoing basis”.
  • Welcoming the collaboration with First Quantum, Executive Chairman, Patrick Cheetham, explained that “the Agreement does not bind either company to any further agreement or grant FQM any first rights of refusal and so is not commercially restrictive for Tertiary”.
  • He said, however, that it would accelerate the exploration of the licences as a result of access to “FQM's extensive and in-depth country experience, gained over many years of exploration and mine development in Zambia and, importantly, its site-specific historical exploration in and around these two exciting projects”.

Conclusion: The collaboration with First Quantum provides Tertiary Minerals with access to the resources, relevant exploration data and technical expertise of an industry major with specific knowledge of the geological context of its Zambian exploration licences. We await further news as the exploration advances.
