Eldorado Gold Corporation: 2013 Second Quarter Financial and Operating Results

2013-08-02 07:55 ET - News Release

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/02/13

Paul N. Wright, Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado Gold Corporation, (TSX:ELD)(NYSE:EGO) ("Eldorado" the "Company" or "we") is pleased to report on the Company's financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013. Profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the quarter was $43.3 million or $0.06 per share compared to $46.6 million or $0.07 per share for the same quarter in 2012.

"During the second quarter Eldorado produced 183,971 ounces of gold at an average cash operating cost of $478 per ounce, a 31% increase over Q2 2012 gold production. Our gold mines continue to perform to plan and generate significant cash flows," said Paul Wright, CEO of Eldorado Gold. "With its strong balance sheet and comparatively low cost gold mining operations, Eldorado is well positioned to confront the recent weakness in gold prices."

Second Quarter Summary Results and Corporate Developments


--  Gold production of 183,971 ounces at an average cash operating cost of
    $478 per ounce (Q2 2012 gold production - 140,694 ounces at $480 per
    ounce). 
--  Gold sales of 176,260 ounces at an average gold price of $1,382 per
    ounce (Q2 2012 sales of 132,919 ounces at an average gold price of
    $1,612). 
--  Continued strong cash generation from operating activities before
    changes in non-cash working capital of $84.9 million (Q2 2012 - $82.1
    million). 
--  On August 1, 2013, the Company declared that it will pay an eligible
    dividend of Cdn$0.05 per Common Share on August 26, 2013 to the holders
    of the Company's outstanding Common Shares as of the close of business
    on the record date of August 15, 2013. 

Outlook

In light of the recent significant decline in gold price the Company has modified its operating plan for 2013. Exploration spending for 2013 has been reduced from $98.5 million to $51.0 million with an emphasis on mine site and brownfields exploration. Capital spending has been revised down from $670.0 million to $430.0 million. The full Kisladag expansion as envisaged will be deferred pending improvement in metal prices, while the initial production from Skouries, Perama Hill and Certej is projected to be delayed by one year. Gold production for 2013 is forecast to be 745,000 ounces of gold with cash costs of $520/oz. This is in line with original guidance provided of 705,000 - 760,000 ounces at cash costs of $515-530/oz.

Amendment to the Dividend Policy

Considering our revised capital program over the next two years and projected cash flows from our operating mines at current gold prices, we have revised the gradation of our existing dividend policy to provide the following fixed dollar amount per ounce of gold sold.

Net income for the quarter was $43.3 million (or $0.06 per share), compared with $46.6 million (or $0.07 per share) in the second quarter of 2012. Higher gold sales volumes offset lower gold prices resulting in higher revenues from gold mining operations year over year. The increase year over year in gold revenues was offset by higher production costs and depreciation, depletion and amortization from gold mining operations as a result of higher sales volumes. Other items affecting net income for the quarter included $5.9 million in foreign exchange losses (second quarter 2012 - $0.8 million loss), and $11.1 million in interest and financing costs (second quarter 2012 - $1.4 million). The foreign exchange losses related to bank deposits in foreign currencies in Turkey and Canada. The effective tax rate of 36% fell from a rate of 43% in the second quarter of 2012 mainly as a result of the impact of the recognition of investment tax credits in Turkey.

Iron ore production in the second quarter of 2013 increased 1% at Vila Nova as compared to the same quarter of 2012. Iron ore sales were 52% lower as a result of the incident that occurred at the Anglo-Ferrous port facility during the quarter. While the Anglo-Ferrous port facility remains closed, Vila Nova has been shipping reduced quantities of iron ore through the public port in Santana City.

(1) Stratoni operating and financial data for 2012 shown in the table above reflect operations subsequent to February 24, 2012, the date of the European Goldfields Ltd. acquisition.

During the second quarter, Stratoni mined 60,109 tonnes of run-of-mine ore and produced 16,054 tonnes of lead and zinc concentrate at an average cash cost of $829 per tonne of concentrate sold. During the same period, Stratoni sold 16,783 tonnes of concentrate at an average price of $781 per tonne.

Olympias, Greece

During the second quarter, Olympias treated 116,972 tonnes of tailings and produced 6,658 payable gold ounces. Commissioning of the plant continued during the quarter with commercial production expected during the third quarter, 2013. Capital spending during the quarter included underground decline development, underground rehabilitation and process plant improvements.

Development Projects Update

Skouries, Greece

Clearing, grubbing and grading of the plant site area was ongoing. Site clearing and geotechnical drilling on the tailings dam area continued during the quarter. A review of the tailings dam construction materials and methodology was completed with the goal of optimizing the cost and time required to complete the tailings dam. Progress continued to be made on the underground decline during the quarter.

Olympias, Greece

Ground water inflows were intersected in the decline from Stratoni to the Olympias deposit and limited the advance during the quarter. A grouting company was brought in to deal with the inflow. Rehabilitation of the existing underground mine continued during the quarter.

Perama Hill, Greece

Final approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") for Perama Hill is expected during the second half of 2013. Approval of the EIA will allow construction of the initial infrastructure to commence and is required in order to obtain the permits to commence full construction. Preliminary engineering continued on the project during the quarter with completion expected in the third quarter this year. Metallurgical testwork to confirm and optimise the process will be completed during the third quarter this year, with detailed engineering expected to begin shortly thereafter. Geotechnical drilling was completed during the quarter in order to examine the foundation conditions for the plant and tailings dump sites. In addition, drilling began in the open pit area to reconfirm the geotechnical conditions used in the feasibility pit slope design.

Certej, Romania

Geotechnical drilling was carried out during the quarter to provide data for pit slope stability and soil analyses. Metallurgical testing was conducted on samples from recently drilled extensions to the ore zones. Extensive flotation testing was carried out to confirm results from previous work and to generate concentrate material for oxidation testing. Results of the testing will be used to finalize the process design during the third quarter. Engineering work began to establish alternatives for supply of power to the site from the national grid and to rehabilitate the water supply lines from the Mures River. Work began on construction of an alternate access road to the property.

Tocantinzinho, Brazil

Permitting activities continued during the quarter at both the state and federal levels. Project engineers continued to focus on reduction of capital requirements in order to optimize the project, including consideration of Semi-Autogenous Grind ("SAG") milling as opposed to three-stage crushing. Cost reductions have been generated through changes to the design of the tailings management facility and waste dump as well as optimization of earthmoving for the plant and administration sites. There is also the potential to reduce capital costs further by utilising contract miners. Preliminary discussions are ongoing with mining contractors for both short-term and long-term mining contracts. The mine plan is scheduled to be updated by the end of this year. Site activities are focused on site characterization data collection from established points. Field surveys along the logging road are ongoing. Non-essential field work has been cancelled.

Eastern Dragon, China

Eastern Dragon remained on care and maintenance pending resolution of permitting issues. Site management worked with the local authorities to maintain local permits and permissions in good standing. Work continued on preparing the necessary paperwork to submit to the National Development and Reform Commission ("NDRC"), as well as determining the timeline for review and approval.

Exploration Update

In the second quarter approximately 65,000 metres of exploration drilling were completed at the company's operations, development projects and exploration targets. In Greece, sterilization drilling was completed at Perama Hill and the 2013 resource drilling program commenced at the Piavitsa project. In Romania, drilling focused on resource expansion and infill drilling at the Certej deposit. In Turkey, drilling was completed on several targets at the Efemcukuru minesite and at the Ardala/Salinbas exploration project. Drilling in China included resource expansion programs at the Jinfeng, White Mountain and Tanjianshan mine sites and on exploration targets peripheral to the Jinfeng and Tanjianshan mines. In Brazil, resource expansion drilling was completed at the Vila Nova minesite and an initial phase of drilling was completed at the Chapadinha early-stage exploration project.
