NYSE American: GPL  |  TSX: GPR

VANCOUVER, Oct. 30, 2019 /CNW/ - GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED (NYSE American: GPL; TSX: GPR) ("Great Panther", the "Company") today reported financial results for the Company's three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 ("Q3") from its Tucano Gold Mine ("Tucano") in Brazil, and two Mexican mining operations: the Guanajuato Mine Complex ("GMC"), which includes the San Ignacio Mine, and the Topia Mine ("Topia").  The full version of the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") can be viewed on the Company's website at www.greatpanther.com or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.  All financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), except as noted in the Non-GAAP Measures section of the MD&A.  All dollar amounts are expressed in US dollars ("USD"), unless otherwise noted.  The Company is also providing an update on the engineering work underway to update the Mineral and Resource Estimate for Tucano which is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2020 ("Q1 2020") and work underway to resolve the geotechnical issues at the Urucum Central South pit ("UCS").

"The acquisition of Tucano in March of 2019 has driven a significant increase in mine operating earnings and operating cash-flow over the third quarter of last year", stated Jeffrey Mason, Interim President and CEO, and Chair of the Board of Directors ("the Board").  "More importantly, the continued improvements of Tucano's operations have translated into increases in production and mine operating earnings over the prior quarter, and we expect to deliver a further increase in production in the fourth quarter of 2019.  We also further reduced Tucano's debt levels by almost $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2019.  Although geotechnical issues with one of our five Tucano pits, UCS, has reduced our expected production for the fourth quarter, we are working diligently to ensure we have a plan to safely return UCS to our mine plan."

CHANGE IN COST REPORTING MEASURES

As a result of the acquisition of Tucano through the acquisition of Beadell Resources Limited ("Beadell") on March 5, 2019 (the "Acquisition"), the Company's primary metal production by value is now gold.  In addition, Great Panther's Mexican silver mines operations produce a significant component of gold by-product.  As a result, the Company has changed to primary reporting of cash cost and AISC metrics on a per ounce of gold sold basis, net of by-product credits (refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section in the Company's MD&A for definitions and reconciliations of these measures to the Company's reported financial results).  Cash cost and AISC measures on a payable silver ounce basis (net of by-product credits) continue to be provided for the Company's Mexican operating mines as these remain primary silver producing mines by value.

SUMMARY REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2019

Revenues for the third quarter of 2019 of $71.0 million represented an increase of $59.3 million over the third quarter of 2018, reflecting the Acquisition.  Tucano accounted for $58.2 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2019.  Higher realized gold and silver prices also contributed to the increase in revenue.

Mine operating earnings before non-cash items increased to $20.0 million ($0.07 per share), which was also primarily attributed to the contribution of Tucano which accounted for $16.6 million of mine operating earnings before non-cash items. 

Mine operating earnings (inclusive of amortization and other non-cash charges) also showed a significant increase to $10.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the noted contribution of Tucano.  The improvement in metal prices also contributed to the increase in mine operating earnings and offset lower production and sales volume from the Mexican operations.  The factors contributing to an improvement in mine operating earnings also offset cost increases in Mexico (refer to the following discussions of cash cost and AISC for further details).

Net loss for the quarter was $6.1 million or $0.02 per share as mine operating earnings were offset by general and administrative ("G&A") expenditures of $2.9 million, exploration, evaluation and development ("EE&D") expenditures of $2.9 million and finance and other expense of $9.7 million.  Finance and other expense is comprised of foreign exchange losses of $6.8 million, of which $5.9 million were unrealized losses and related primarily to the negative mark-to-market valuation on the Brazilian real ("BRL") forward contracts due to the weakening of the BRL against USD at September 30, 2019, and the impact of the translation of BRL denominated borrowings.  The BRL/ USD rate at September 30, 2019 was 4.16.  As at October 30, 2019, the Company had BRL forward contracts with a notional USD value $73.5 million with an average BRL/USD exchange value of 4.12 compared to the prevailing BRL/USD exchange rate on the same day of approximately 3.99 which would result in a positive mark-to-market revaluation .  To hedge exposure to foreign exchange the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts.  These have been primarily forward contracts for the purchase of BRL and MXN, and generally for terms of not more than six months.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2019 was $13.7 million.

EE&D reflected $1.2 million of Coricancha expenditures, $0.5 million of Guanajuato focused exploration program, $0.3 million of San Ignacio exploration drilling, and $0.3 million of Topia exploration drilling.  It is noted that EE&D expenses do not include capitalized Tucano exploration costs of $2.1 million.

The increase in G&A for the third quarter is primarily related to the acquisition of Tucano.  G&A reflected approximately $1.0 million of Tucano G&A expenditures that include $0.6 million of Brazil G&A, and $0.4 million of ongoing costs to wind down the former Australian head office of Tucano.  The wind-down of the former Australian head office is expected to be largely completed by the first quarter of 2020 and related expenditures should be substantially eliminated following the first quarter of 2020.  Share-based compensation included in G&A increased by $0.4 million as the Company made the annual share-based award grants to its employees and directors during the third quarter of 2019.

Operating cash flow before changes in non-cash net working capital was $13.3 million ($0.04 per share) in the third quarter of 2019, compared to negative $2.5 million ($0.01 per share) in the third quarter of 2018.  The improvement largely reflects an increase in mine operating earnings before non-cash items of $19.4 million, a decrease in acquisition costs as the comparative period reflected $0.6 million of acquisition costs related to Tucano, and an increase in net realized foreign exchange gains of $0.3 million.  These factors were partly offset by an increase in interest paid of $1.6 million, and an increase in other expenses of $1.1 million relating to Tucano's Imposto de Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços ("ICMS"), a Brazilian sales tax that was determined to be unrecoverable, an increase in G&A cash expenses of $1.0 million, an increase in EE&D cash expenses of $0.4 million, Guanajuato Mine care and maintenance costs of $0.2 million, and a decrease in interest received of $0.2 million.

Refer to the Company's MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 for more details of the financial results.

CASH COST AND ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS

The consolidated operating results, cash cost and AISC for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflect Tucano operations from the date of the completion of the Acquisition, and a comparison to those of prior periods on an overall basis is not meaningful.  Refer to the discussion of operating and cost metrics for the individual mines in the Company's MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Consolidated AISC per gold ounce sold (excluding corporate G&A expenditures) for the third quarter of 2019 of $1,330 is higher than the revised consolidated annual cost guidance of $1,230 - $1,270 per gold ounce sold (excluding corporate G&A expenses) for the following reasons (Refer to Guidance section for discussion of 2019 production and cost guidance):

  • Tucano's capitalized stripping for production in future periods and the liability to pay the Amapá State Mineral Resources Inspection Fee ("TFRM") in the third quarter of 2019.
  • Higher cash cost per silver payable ounce at Topia due to a less favourable market for Topia's concentrates and general cost increases over the prior year comparative period.
  • Adoption of the new accounting standard IFRS 16 – Leases.

Further discussion of these factors can be found in the Company's MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.  For the purposes of consolidated cash cost and AISC per gold ounce sold, GMC and Topia are incorporated on the basis of Au eq oz production and sales, and other metals produced are treated as by-products.  See the Non-GAAP Measures section of the Company's MD&A for detailed reconciliations and computation of these measures.

CASH, SHORT-TERM DEPOSITS AND WORKING CAPITAL AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

At September 30, 2019, the Company had cash and short-term deposits of $27.3 million, compared to $50.6 million at December 31, 2018.

Cash and short-term deposits decreased by $23.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to $25.4 million of net cash repayment of Tucano borrowings, largely in connection with negotiated repayments with creditors of the acquired parent company of Tucano and change of control provisions.  Capital investments drew $23.5 million in additions to plant and equipment, including $15.1 million of capitalized stripping at Tucano, $2.1 million of capitalized drilling expenditures at Tucano, and $3.3 million on the Topia expansion project.  Lease liability repayments amounted to $4.4 million.  These were partly offset by contributions to cash which included $16.0 million of net proceeds from the bought deal financing, $8.9 million of cash provided by operating activities, $2.7 million of partial repayment on the loan advanced to Tucano's former parent company prior to the Acquisition, $1.4 million of cash received upon the Acquisition, $0.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and $0.4 million in net cash recovery of the Coricancha environmental bond.

Net working capital was $12.7 million as at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $49.1 million from the start of the year.  The decrease was mainly due to the $35.9 million of net repayments of Tucano's borrowings ($25.4 million net cash repayments and $10.5 million repayment via issuance of shares), $23.5 million additions to mineral property, plant and equipment, and $5.7 million of lease liabilities recognized upon the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases.  The Company's current borrowings reflect $14.3 million of unsecured revolving credit facilities of its Brazilian subsidiary, and $10.1 million of unsecured debt owed to MACA Limited, a former contractor at Tucano.  These were partly offset by the $16.0 million net cash proceeds from the bought deal financing.

TUCANO UPDATE

Urucum Central South Pit

As noted in the Company's press releases on October 7, 2019 and October 15, 2019, the Company discovered a geotechnical issue in the west wall of UCS at Tucano on October 6, 2019.  As a result of these geotechnical issues, Great Panther has taken UCS out of its short-term production plan for the balance of 2019 and is conducting a full geotechnical review of UCS and is monitoring UCS and other Urucum pits.  After 2019, UCS was not scheduled to return to production until 2021 and 2022.  To compensate for the loss of UCS production in 2019, the Company has re-sequenced and accelerated production from other pits, primarily the Urucum North and Urucum South pits.

The Company is engaging an independent geotechnical engineering firm to assist in the preparation of a work plan for the remediation of UCS (the "UCS Work Plan").  The UCS Work Plan will identify the geotechnical analysis and updated mine plan for the additional stripping and rehabilitation required to bring UCS back into production.  Once the UCS Work Plan has been completed, the Company will be able to assess the anticipated capital cost required to bring the UCS pit back into production, the anticipated timeframe for reactivation of the UCS pit, the long-term impact on operating costs, and any impact on the mine plan for UCS.

Until such time as the UCS Work Plan has been completed, the Company is not able to provide any assurance as to (i) whether UCS can be economically remediated, as is presently anticipated, (ii) the costs of this remediation work, (iii) any change in long-term operating costs for UCS, (iv) any impact on Mineral Reserves at UCS, or (v) any impact on the economics of continued mining at the UCS pit.  The Company also cautions that its ability to complete the required remediation work will be contingent upon the Company having sufficient funds from operating cash flows (which will be adversely impacted by the UCS geotechnical issue) and additional debt or equity financings (of which there is no assurance) to fund this remediation work.  The Company notes that there is increased risk to the Company and its future cash flows and profitability associated with the remediation of UCS.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Update

The Company has engaged Roscoe Postle & Associates Inc. ("RPA") as its independent mining and geological consultants in connection with the preparation of an updated Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimate for Tucano with an effective date of September 30, 2019.  The expected timing of the completion and announcement of the updated Mineral Resource and Reserve estimate is to facilitate the preparation of the Company's budgets and guidance for 2020.

Exploration Program Update

Great Panther continues to advance its exploration program at Tucano following the announcement of high-grade drilling results in July.  The program is expected to complete 7,450 metres in 36 holes by the end of the year, all comprising near-mine or in-mine targets.  The program is aimed at realizing Tucano's significant near mine exploration potential to extend mine life and increase options on grade within Tucano's current open pit and underground resource base.  In addition, work has commenced on a further regional exploration program, focused on the extensive land package surrounding Tucano with the objective of capitalizing on Tucano's significant longer-term exploration potential.

GMC Update

At GMC, production continues to be sourced primarily from the San Ignacio Mine, while an exploration program at the Guanajuato Mine continues to be advanced with the objective of identifying in-situ blocks of higher-grade mineralization in order to bring the Guanajuato Mine back into full production in 2020.  The Company is planning to complete and announce an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate for GMC based on this year's exploration program in the first quarter of 2020.

Topia Update

At the Topia Mine, the Company continues exploration drilling to better define existing mineral resources, and to extend the mineral resources into new areas, both in terms of along presently mined veins and along new veins.

Coricancha Update

At the Coricancha Mine in Peru, the Company approved a positive production decision following the completion of the bulk sample program ("BSP") which confirmed the key operating assumptions contained in its Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") announced in May 2018.  The Company is establishing the conditions under which a restart of Coricancha production can be implemented.

GUIDANCE

As a result of the geotechnical issue encountered at UCS in Tucano, the Company lowered its production guidance for the fourth quarter of 2019 as per the Company's news release on October 15, 2019.  Based on production through to the third quarter of 2019 at its Mexico operations, the Company also revised the full year guidance for Mexico.
