21.11.2012 | Marketwired
VANCOUVER, Nov. 21, 2012 - NMC Resource Corporation ("NMC Resource") (TSX VENTURE:NRC) released its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and its AGM results.
Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
- Recorded $7,315,421 in sales revenue
- Recorded $1,923,637 in EBITDA(1) at NMC Moland Mine ("Moland") and $1,432,243 in adjusted EBITDA(2)
- Increased the mill capacity to 1,300 tonnes per day ("tpd") at Moland
NMC Resource recorded $7,315,421 in sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $9,225,940 recorded for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease is mainly due to lower molybdenum ("moly") market price. During the period, the average moly market price was US$13.31 compared to US$16.19 for the corresponding period in 2011.
During the third quarter of 2012, NMC Resource successfully increased its mill capacity at Moland to 1,300 tpd by installing an additional cone crusher and screen in the underground crushing chamber, with sponsorship from a South Korean government agency. Due to the halted production while installing the new crushing system and conducting the system testing, the Q3 moly concentrate production decreased to 190 tonnes from 199 tonnes recorded for Q2. The Q3 cash cost per pound of moly sold(3) was US$8.94.
For further detail, please see copies of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and the corresponding MD&A available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
