Highlights

  • Pasinex recorded a net loss of approximately $0.89 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and a net income of approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with net losses of approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the same periods in 2021. Pasinex Arama recorded a dividend income of approximately $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. There was no similar amount in 2021.
  • The operating income in Horzum AS increased to $4.8 million and $8.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, versus operating income of $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the same periods in 2021. This increase was due to higher revenue generated from higher sales prices. The increased sales prices were the result of higher worldwide zinc prices in 2022 along with selling a greater proportion of high-grade zinc sulphide product in 2022 compared with 2021. The higher sales prices also resulted in the gross margin (see non-GAAP measures) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, increasing to 82% and 78% versus 50% and 35% in the same periods in 2021.
  • Horzum AS declared a dividend to be paid to its shareholders of which Pasinex Arama was entitled to TRY 42.2 million. Pasinex Arama has received all of this amount as of the date of this Interim MD&A. Total cash received from Horzum AS was approximately $3.4 million during the first six months of 2022.
  • On July 1, 2022, the Company announced that T.C. Maden ve Petrol Iserl Genel Mudurlugu ("MAPEG"), the mining ministry in Turkey, had not extended the principal mining operational license of Horzum AS beyond April 15, 2023, and the Akkaya operational exploration license of Pasinex Arama at that time. As a result, both Pasinex Arama and Horzum AS each filed a court action in Adana, Turkey challenging the denial of the license extensions. The actions were filed on July 1, 2022, in order to meet the legal statute of limitations in the mining law. Since the filing of the actions, representatives of Horzum AS and Pasinex Arama have met with MAPEG and the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. The meetings have been constructive and both agencies continue to work with Horzum AS and Pasinex Arama to arrive at a negotiated solution for the benefit of all.
  • Horzum AS sold 3,041 and 5,571 tonnes of zinc sulphide product in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, at average grades of 50% and 51% zinc and average sale prices of approximately US$1,353 and US$1,337 per tonne, respectively.
  • Horzum AS mined 7,804 tonnes of zinc product in the first six months of 2022, at the Pinargozu mine.
  • The CAD cost per tonne mined (see non-GAAP measures) was $413 and $358 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively and the USD cash cost per pound of zinc product mined (see non-GAAP measures) was US$0.29 and US$0.27 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
  • During 2022, Horzum AS completed a total of 4,870 metres of underground and surface diamond core drilling, in 63 holes. It also completed 851 metres of exploration and development adit development, including 150 metres of adit development towards the Akkaya property.
  • Horzum AS had another zero-fatality quarter at the Pinargozu Mine. There was 98,848 fatality free hours worked and no serious injuries were reported.
