The following are highlights from the quarter:

  • Cash on hand at March 31, 2013 was $24.58 million (compared to $27.84 million at March 31, 2012)

Roland Butler, CEO commented, "The third quarter saw lower royalty revenue largely due to lower metal prices and higher costs at the 777 Mine, which may be temporary. While no new royalty agreements were signed this quarter, numerous opportunities were evaluated and we are generating new business on a regular basis."


777 Mines Royalties

On May 1, 2013 HudBay Minerals Inc. ("HudBay") reported its financial results for the last quarter for its 777 mine. Ore production for the first quarter 2013 was up 4% compared to the same period in 2012 due to ore production from the 777 North ramp. Copper, zinc, gold and silver grades were lower by 15%, 20%, 4% and 17%, respectively, due to the sequencing of production stopes.

In addition, the operating costs per tonne of ore in the last quarter were 21% higher compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to increased contractor costs and additional ground support requirements.

Subsequent to March 31, 2013, Callinan received interim quarterly royalty payments totaling $2,298,145 from HudBay Minerals Inc. (compared to $4,001,294 in the same quarter last year). The royalty payments include a payment of $2,187,395 from the 6⅔% Net Profits Interest Royalty and $110,750 from the production royalty of $0.25 per ton of ore for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This amount is net of 25% holdback by HudBay which is paid to Callinan in July of each year as per the agreement.

Financial Performance

During the 9 month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company received and accrued $12,681,087 (2012 - $18,446,392) for its $0.25 per ton production royalty and its 6⅔% Net Profits Interest ("NPI") royalty in the Callinan Mine located in Flin Flon, Manitoba. Of that amount, $346,441 represents the production royalty payment (2012 - $315,280) for the 1,385,764 tons mined during the period, and $12,334,646 (2012 - $18,131,112) for the 6⅔% NPI for the period. Additionally, $247,741 was received for interest revenue (2012 - $221,598), and $360,000 was accrued for interest on the Company's debentures, for total revenues of $13,288,828 (2012 - $18,667,990).

Cash on hand at March 31, 2013 was $24,584,446, which is $3,256,563 lower than the same period last year. As per the Company's cash management policy, excess cash is invested in short-term term deposits and bankers acceptance not exceeding ninety days, so as to secure capital and earn a reasonable return.


Update on Independent Audit

The Board of Directors of Callinan has undertaken and completed a review to determine the next course of action with respect to outstanding issues with HudBay. Alternatives include, but may not be limited to, providing notice in writing to HudBay and proceeding with litigation or engaging in discussions with a view to a resolution of outstanding issues.

As litigation remains an option to be considered by the Board of Directors, the Company does not intend to disclose information from the incomplete audit work conducted or report any developments with respect to the review unless and until its Board of Directors has approved a course of action that requires disclosure or otherwise deems that disclosure of developments is appropriate.


Quarterly Dividend

The board of directors of Callinan Royalties Corporation has declared a quarterly cash dividend for the quarter ending June 30, 2013 on its common shares of two cents per common share to all shareholders of record at the close of business on June 28, 2013. The ex-dividend date will be June 26, 2013 and it is expected that the dividend will be paid on or about July 15, 2013.

It is anticipated that future quarterly dividends will be payable approximately 15 days following each fiscal quarter. The declaration, timing, and payment of future dividends will largely depend on the Company's financial results as well as other factors. Dividends paid by Callinan Royalties Corporation are eligible dividends for Canadian income tax purposes unless otherwise stated.


On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

Roland Butler
