Safety performance not at satisfactory level

There were three Lost Time Incidents in the quarter. Two of these occurred at the Kylylahti mine and were related to back and knee strains of underground miners resulting in a few days of sick leave. The third incident occurred at the Luikonlahti cobalt - nickel dam construction site where a truck tipped over and the driver hurt his ankle fortunately with no long-term consequences.

As a result of the disappointing safety performance the rolling 12 months Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate has increased to 16 from 12 in the previous quarter. 

The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate is down 20% compared to the same time last year (calculated based on the  number of injuries per 1,000,000 hours worked representing medical treatment cases, restricted work day cases and lost time injuries for employees and contractors).

Monitoring to detect asbestiform minerals in the mine is continuing and all necessary actions have been taken to ensure safe working conditions. The decline location has been relocated to the footwall of the orebody from 530 metres depth where rocks do not contain asbestiform minerals and thus avoiding a recurrence of the problem.

There were no reportable environmental incidents during the quarter.

Altona has 252 employees and contractors in Finland and 12 employees in Australia.

Altona makes daily deliveries of copper-gold concentrate to New Boliden?s copper smelter at Harjavalta on the south-west coast of Finland and delivers zinc concentrate to New Boliden at Kokkola as production allows.  Copper concentrates were delivered without incident or penalty.  Zinc concentrates incur modest penalties for low grades and iron and cobalt content.

Copper and gold production levels exceeded the revised guidance. Excellent volumes were maintained at both mine and mill. Metal production continues to trend up.

Quarterly Production of Metal in Concentrate and Cash Cost by Quarter

30072014_DE_Quarterly ended 30 June 2014_prcom.001

*C1 cash cost calculated per Brook Hunt methodology.

June quarter cash costs decreased

In the June quarter C1 cash costs decreased from the previous quarter due to record copper production. Copper head grade for the June quarter was above average resulting in improved cost performance as expected.

Unit cost performance in the local currency (Euros) remained slightly elevated at ?59 per tonne of ore milled.  Lower mine development costs, as forecast for the quarter, were offset by increased backfilling expenses associated with the higher quality cemented frock fill required by transverse stoping. A review of the backfilling methodology and costs is currently underway.

Total capital expenditure at the mine for the quarter was US$2.4 million of which approximately US$1.9 million was for decline and level development. This was 17% less than in the previous quarter due to reduced utilisation of contractors for mine development. Expenditure on ventilation, water management and electrification totalled US$0.4 million. Discretionary spending of US$0.1 million, mainly related to installation of an electricity backup connection and a second communication system for the mine.

Capital expenditure at the mill for the quarter totalled US$1.6 million, the majority of which related to the construction of the new cobalt-nickel concentrate storage dam. The forecast total cost for Stage 1 of the dam is estimated to be US$5.4 million (?4 million) of which approximately US$2.8 million remains to be spent next financial year. US$0.3 million was spent on miscellaneous discretionary items.

Production and cost guidance for the financial year 2015 is not offered as the operations are likely to be managed by Boliden from the second quarter of the financial year. Should Altona continue to own and manage the mine, guidance would be similar to the performance for the 2014 year just completed.

Mine production volumes were excellent

Ore production was higher than planned for the quarter. The copper grade of 1.88% was slightly below expectations due to the sequence in which stopes were extracted.

Six stopes were completed and five were filled during the quarter. Two new stopes were in production at the end of the period. On average one to two stopes were open at any point in time.

Mine is 605 metres deep

Some 606 metres of decline and level development were completed in the quarter and mine development is now down to 605 metres below surface. No new vertical development (ventilation raises) were completed during the quarter. The decline is planned to reach its final depth of 800 metres in 2017. However, given the results of deeper drilling, it is expected that mining will continue to greater depths.

Successful commencement of transverse mining at the lower Wombat orebody

The first two transverse stopes (440ppL6 and 440ppL4) were mined without incident in the Wombat ore zone. The new mining method brings increased flexibility and certainty to stoping activities including better control of ore recovery and dilution rates. Preparations for transverse stoping require more level development compared to longhole stoping which was used for the narrower Wallaby zone.

Rock conditions in the deeper parts of the mine are good but local weaker zones have resulted in additional ground support works being required which impacts on development advance rates. During the quarter the decline contractor?s new bolting jumbo commenced operations in order to meet the demand for rock support.

Good mill performance

The Luikonlahti processing plant operated at a rate controlled by ore availability and throughput matched the mine?s output for the quarter.

Feed rate averaged 80tph for the quarter relative to the 69tph design. Utilisation averaged 92% including a five-day planned shutdown for a rod mill liner change. The mill operated at an annualised rate of 654,000 tonnes for the year just completed relative to 550,000 tonnes per annum design. This represents a 18% outperformance.

Significant improvement in copper and gold recoveries

Copper recovery improved significantly from design levels of 92.5% in the previous quarter to 94.9%. This was due to a higher than average copper head-grade and also the successful modification of the copper circuit. Gold recovery also improved in tandem with copper to 82.6% compared to 76.8% in the previous quarter. Design recovery is 72%. Copper-gold concentrate grade was 21% copper.

Zinc recovery and concentrate grade of 48.6% and 47.9% zinc, respectively, were slightly below design of 50% but improved from the previous quarter. Relocation of the final zinc cleaner to a location more easily monitored and the addition of on-stream analysis to the zinc circuit assisted in its operation.

Mineralogical studies have continued to provide a better understanding of gold losses in the circuit, which is important in light of the requirement to process ore from zones of high gold and modest copper grade that have been delineated in the past year.

Cobalt-nickel concentrate storage dam on schedule and a new environmental permit granted

Construction of a new cobalt-nickel concentrate storage dam continued in the quarter according to the planned schedule. The dam is required to ensure capacity is available in early 2015 when the current dam will be filled.

An environmental permit to allow processing of 800,000 tonnes per annum from a variety of ore sources, and to operate the new concentrate dam, was granted in early July; the period for community appeals closes on 8 August 2014. The terms of the Permit were as expected and will allow the mill to operate according to existing plans.

Cobalt-nickel treatment pre-feasibility study completed

Processing cobalt-nickel concentrate to produce a commercial product has previously been examined at a pre-feasibility level utilising Xstrata Technology?s Albion Process.  A mixed cobalt-nickel-copper hydroxide was produced which would be readily saleable to refineries.

During the quarter Outotec completed a similar pre-feasibility study based on their atmospheric chloride leach technology. The study comprised bench scale test work, process engineering, and estimates of both operation and capital costs at +/-35% accuracy. The study confirmed technical viability of the chloride leach technology but both capital and operating cost were higher than expected. 

Reserves now exceed pre-mining estimates

An update of Ore Reserve was released for Kylylahti during the quarter (7 May 2014). This was the regular update of Ore Reserves that Altona undertakes in conjunction with annual and half year reporting. The estimate was carried out based on the Mineral Resource estimate reported on 26 March 2014.

The Ore Reserve estimate for the Kylylahti mine reflects depletion to 31 December 2013 and highlights are:

- 4.55 million tonnes at 1.66% copper, 0.83 g/t gold and 0.62% zinc.

- Contained metal of 75,651 tonnes of copper, 121,915 ounces of gold and 28,032 tonnes of zinc.

- Contained copper is up 13% from June 2013 after mine depletion.

- The reserve estimate is higher in tonnes, grade and contained metal than the August 2010 pre-production reserve estimate.

Additions to the ore reserve have come mainly from resource extensions in the deeper parts of the mine.

The 100% owned Little Eva Copper-Gold Project is 90 kilometres north-east of Mt Isa and 11 kilometres north of MMG?s $1.2 billion Dugald River zinc mine.  The project sits within granted mining licences and native title agreements and environmental authority are in place.

A Definitive Feasibility Study ('DFS?) on the Little Eva Project was released in May 2012 and was updated in March 2014.

Partnering process continues

The process to sell, partner or finance the Little Eva Project continues. A number of parties are active in the data room, have visited site and conducted due diligence studies.  Dialogue with these parties continues. 

Resource estimate update

An update of the resource estimate for the Little Eva deposit was completed during the quarter. The estimate is based upon a new geological model derived from an extensive programme of re-logging and data validation. There has been no new drilling and there is no material change from the previous estimate which was reported on 19 December 2011.

The new estimate has increased contained copper metal by 2% and contained gold by 4% and total tonnage by 6%. Confidence in the estimate has improved with 78% of tonnage now in the Measured and Indicated categories, up from 69% in the 2011 estimate. Both estimates exclude oxide mineralisation.

The updated Little Eva resource at a 0.2% copper cut-off grade is tabulated below:

For full description of the assessment and reporting criteria used in the estimation see ASX release dated 27 May 2014.

Roseby South Joint Venture

Chinalco Yunnan Copper Resources Ltd continued exploration activities to earn an interest in the Roseby South Project. Exploration during the quarter included orientation soil sampling at Companion and infill RC drilling at the Millenium prospect partially within the Roseby South joint venture area. Highlights included 13 metres at 0.53% copper, 0.31% cobalt and 0.24g/t gold.

Corporate

Sale of Finnish Assets to Boliden

On 8 July 2014, Altona announced it had entered into an agreement for the sale of all of its Finnish operations and most of its exploration assets in Finland to Boliden Mineral AB (Publ) ('Boliden?), a Swedish base metal miner and smelter ('Transaction?).  Boliden (www.boliden.com) currently buys all of Altona?s concentrate products.

The Transaction

The consideration for the Transaction will be US$95 million for the assets together with adjustments for working capital, net debt and net capital expenditure during the settlement period.  Based upon current estimates the total consideration will be approximately US$100 million in cash.  This equates to A$106 million at an exchange rate of AUD:USD 0.94. Closing is expected to occur on 1 October 2014. At closing US$10 million will be held in an escrow account pending the determination of the final consideration which will be adjusted to reflect the actual movements in working capital, net debt and net capital expenditure during the settlement period. 

The Transaction is conditional upon, amongst other things, the approval of Altona shareholders at a General Meeting to be held on 20 August 2014.  A simple majority of those voting in person or by proxy is required to pass the resolution.  The Transaction was also dependent on the approval of Finnish competition authorities.  This approval has been granted. 

The material terms of the agreement are set out in the ASX release of 14 July 2014.

Upon closing of the Transaction it is expected that Altona will have between A$120 and A$125 million in cash after all costs.  It is anticipated that the Company will have sufficient tax losses to cover any tax liability arising from the Transaction.

Return to Shareholders

The Company intends to make a cash payment to shareholders of up to 15 cents per share, which equates to approximately A$80 million in total.  The form of the payment will be determined after the receipt of a public tax ruling from the Australian Taxation Office.

Should the Transaction be approved at the General Meeting, and if required, shareholders will be asked to approve the capital management initiatives proposed to be undertaken by Directors at a further General Meeting to be called after the tax ruling is received.  Any cash return to shareholders is conditional on the Transaction being completed.

Retained Assets in Finland

Altona will retain the Hautalampi Project near Outokumpu but has granted Boliden an option to either mine the Hautalampi deposit in exchange for payment of a 2% Net Smelter Royalty or to purchase the project outright for US$3 million.  The option has a 10 year term.  Altona will also retain the Sarkiniemi nickel mine.

Provisional Timetable

- 20 August 2014:  General Meeting of shareholders to approve the Transaction.

- 1 October 2014:  Completion of the Transaction. *

- October - November 2014:  General Meeting of shareholders to approve the return of capital. *

- December 2014:  Proposed cash distribution to shareholders. *

* Dates are estimates.

Cash

Strong cash balance of A$18.1 million

The Company has A$18.1 million in cash, receivables from concentrate sales stand at A$9.8 million and ROM and concentrate inventories stand at A$0.7 million at the end of the quarter. The cash balance is up from A$15.8 million in the prior quarter reflecting a positive cash flow in operating activities.

Cash movements for the quarter are tabulated below:

*   Sustaining capital includes mine decline development and tailings dam costs, etc.

** Other includes exchange rate adjustments.

Please note an Appendix 5B disclosure as required by ASX for exploration entities is enclosed.  The forecast cash expenditure for the next quarter is required to be presented in a form that excludes all revenues and does not reflect actual predicted cashflows.

Hedging

Altona has the following commodity hedges in place at 30 June 2014:

At the time of writing, the copper price was US$7,125 per tonne.

The Company also undertakes short-dated (3 months) hedging to secure revenue for the period (Quotational Period) between the receipt of the provisional invoice for concentrate sales and the final pricing.  Realised and unrealised gains and losses on Quotational Period hedging have been included in the realised prices per commodity shown in page 2. Altona has realised a loss of US$0.7 million on these hedges for the quarter.
