North American Tungsten Reports Q1 Fiscal 2014 Results

25.02.2014  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 25, 2014) - North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NTC) ("NTC" or "the Company") announces a net loss of $4.5 million or $0.02 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2013 ("Q1 2014") compared to a net loss of $4.0 million or $0.02 per share for the comparable quarter in fiscal 2013 ("Q1 2013").

The Company's December 31, 2013 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion & Analysis thereon may be accessed under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and may also be accessed at the Company's website www.natungsten.com.

Revenue of $20.5 million for the quarter reflects production below planned levels, with 62,000 mtus produced, primarily due to lower feed grade in the stopes that were available for production during most of the quarter. Despite strong demand for the product and favorable pricing, the Company experienced a loss of $4.5 million for the quarter and a moderate net cash outflow of $0.5 million. During the latter part of December and subsequent to quarter end, the feed grade improved significantly and daily production has increased accordingly.

The Company is on track to complete by mid-year improvements to the mill with potential to enhance production by up to 20% and implementation of a permanent waste water treatment plant to improve its long term tailings management.

Kurt Heikkila, Chairman and CEO, commented, "While the results for the quarter were disappointing, it is understood that grade issues occasionally will occur and the Company responded by controlling spending to essentials and limiting capital outlays for the period while continuing to move key projects forward."

Since September 30, 2013, the Company has entered into new supply agreements with its current customers that expire in no less than three years. In connection with those agreements, as previously reported, the customers advanced an additional $5 million to help fund the capital expenditures related to operational improvements.

Mr. Heikkila continued, "The new agreements further enhance our relationships with our customers. We appreciate their continued support."
