Allied Nevada Gold Corp. ("Allied Nevada" or the "Company") (TSX:ANV)(NYSE MKT:ANV) provides financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2013.
2013 Highlights:
-- Record gold and silver sales in 2013, up 59% and 23%, respectively, from
the previous year
-- Fourth quarter 2013 sales represented 33% of total 2013 gold sales and
41% of total 2013 silver sales, benefiting from the heap leach expansion
-- Adjusted cash costs per ounce(1) (before write-down) of $802 for the
full year 2013, was at the lower end of our guidance range
-- Lowered mining costs by approximately $0.45 per ton during 2013
-- Operating full complement of shovel and haul fleet to achieve an average
of over 250,000 tons per day
-- Increased square footage under leach by 72%
-- Increased Merrill Crowe processing capacity with completion of the new
21,500 gallons per minute (gpm) plant, along with the existing 5,000 gpm
plant, which we expect will allow us to eliminate carbon columns in 2014
-- Amended revolving credit agreement to remove covenants restricting us
from using the facility and we now have $40 million in available
borrowing capacity
-- Adjusted net income(2) of $17.2 million ($0.17 per share)
-- Advanced the onsite oxidation process testing through two phases with
positive results leading to the decision to move forward with a pilot
plant study to process sulfides
2013 Summary:
Operating results: We sold an annual record 181,941 ounces of gold and 858,073 ounces of silver, of which 60,460 (or 33%) gold ounces and 352,922 (or 41%) silver ounces were sold during the fourth quarter benefiting from our expanded heap leach operations.
We achieved our target annual mining rate and placed 45.6 million ore tons on the leach pads containing approximately 256,384 recoverable ounces of gold and approximately 1.5 million recoverable ounces of silver. During the second half of the year we maintained the nominal mining rate of over 250,000 tons per day while decreasing our per ton mining and processing costs from the first half of the year, all while operating in a leaner, more cost-efficient structure as a result of our mine-site and corporate workforce reductions mid-year.
Adjusted cash costs per ounce(1): Adjusted cash costs per ounce(1) for 2013 were $802, excluding a write-down at year end of previously incurred cash production costs of $9.7 million (or $53 per ounce), which increased the reported adjusted cash costs per ounce(1) to $855.
Heap leach expansion projects: Our heap leach expansion projects were successfully completed in 2013. During the year we increased our mining rate and commissioned the North leach pad, two 73 cubic-yard electric rope shovels, and a 21,500 gallons per minute ("gpm") Merrill-Crowe plant. The crushing system was mechanically completed in 2013 and we expect to commission it during the first quarter of 2014.
Adjusted net income(2): Adjusted net income(2) in 2013 was $17.2 million (or $0.17 per share). Despite selling record gold and silver ounces in 2013, net income of $1.4 million (or $0.01 per share) was negatively impacted by a lower metal price environment, increased production costs, and significant charges for assets classified as held for sale ($11.7 million), mineral property dispositions ($1.4 million), separation and severance costs ($5.9 million), and a write-down of production inventories ($12.6 million).
Liquidity: We finished 2013 with $81.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. Capital spending in 2013 was less than anticipated due to the deferral of approximately $30.0 million of payments into 2014. Had these payments been made as expected, we would have ended the year near our previously stated cash position of approximately $50.0 million.
In the second quarter of 2013, we proactively improved our financial position and liquidity through the completion of a public offering of our common stock for net proceeds of $142.2 million. During the fourth quarter we amended our revolving credit agreement, eliminating certain financial ratio covenants which precluded us from being able to utilize the facility. This provides us with $40.0 million of borrowing capacity. We are working on expanding the facility in 2014 through an accordion feature that allows us to increase the lending limit to $75.0 million.
Hycroft mill expansion: In August 2013 we announced that we would defer construction of the mill to allow further investigation of encouraging preliminary oxidation results that would allow us to oxidize and process sulfide concentrate onsite at Hycroft. Since then, test work has progressed significantly and the results have provided the confidence to proceed with a pilot plant study of the Ambient Alkaline Oxidation process, which began in February 2014. The pilot plant is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014. M3 Engineering & Technology ("M3") will use the results of the oxidation test work, capital and operating cost review and pilot plant program to develop an updated prefeasibility study.
Hycroft Operations Update
We remained committed to our core values, health and safety, and operated in an environmentally responsible manner. Regrettably, there was one lost time accident at our Hycroft Mine during the third quarter of 2013; however, we have taken measures to strengthen the overall health and safety culture at our Hycroft Mine through increased training, more frequent safety meetings, and increased communications.
Key operating statistics for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013, compared with the same periods in 2012, together with 2014 projections, are as follows:

In 2013, we increased our mining rate and processing capabilities, which resulted in the production and sale of a record number of gold and silver ounces. Our total tons mined during 2013 increased approximately 41% from 2012 as a result of our expanded mobile mine equipment fleet and the addition of the two electric rope shovels. Efficiencies gained with our mobile equipment dispatch system helped us achieve our 2013 target mining rate, all while operating with an approximate 24% reduction to our mine-site workforce following the July reductions. During 2013, we commissioned the North leach pad and a 21,500 gpm Merrill-Crowe plant and added solution processing capacity from our carbon columns early in the year.
As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately 12.2 million square feet under leach, an increase of approximately 5.1 million square feet (or +72%) from December 31, 2012. The North leach pad has been performing well since being put into operation in early 2013 as our overall metal recoveries and timing of such metal recoveries remains consistent with our expectations.
During the second half of 2013 we continued our remediation efforts of the Lewis leach pad and received permits which allowed us to begin introducing solution into wells that have been drilled into dry areas of the pad; and we have begun to see positive results from our efforts. The timing of the metal recoveries is dependent on the advance rate of the solution into the wells on the pad and our overall management of solution flows to the Lewis leach pad and the wells themselves. We expect metal recoveries from our remediation efforts to occur over the next two years.
Production costs were high during the first half 2013 as additional drilling, lime, and cyanide costs associated with the Lewis leach pad remediation, increased maintenance costs of older loading equipment, and inefficient utilization of the mobile fleet resulted in a significant increase to the average cost per ounce placed on the leach pads. During the second half of 2013, our average mining cost per ton and average processing cost per ore ton decreased by 22% and 12%, respectively, from the first half 2013 per ton costs. We expect such efficiencies in mining and processing costs to continue into 2014, which we believe will positively impact our future production costs and adjusted cash costs per ounce(1).
During 2013, our adjusted cash costs per ounce(1) increased by $217 (or 34%) from 2012. Although our second half 2013 mining and processing costs improved from previous periods, our adjusted cash costs per ounce(1) for 2013 were negatively impacted by increased production costs incurred during the first half of 2013, external refining costs for carbon in-process inventories sold during the year, and $9.7 million (or $53 per ounce) in previously incurred cash production costs that were written-off. Further, during 2013 our average realized price per ounce of silver sold decreased by approximately $8 (or -26%) compared to 2012, thereby decreasing the benefit received from each ounce of silver sold and increasing our adjusted cash costs per ounce(1) by approximately $38.
Outlook
Gold and silver sales in 2014 are expected to reach new record levels of approximately 230,000 to 250,000 ounces of gold and 1.7 million to 2.0 million ounces of silver. We expect to mine 34.4 million tons of ore at average grades of 0.014 ounce per ton ("opt") gold and 0.35 opt silver. Approximately 10.6 million tons of the higher grade ore are expected to be crushed before being placed on the leach pads. In addition, we plan on mining 52.8 million tons of waste and 4.8 million tons of mill ore, which will be placed in our stockpiles. Adjusted cash costs per ounce(1) for 2014 are expected to be in the range of $825 - $850 (with silver as a byproduct credit).
Depreciation and amortization is expected to increase significantly to approximately $80 - $85 million (or $335-$355 per ounce). The significant increase in depreciation and amortization is the result of an increase of plant and equipment, including the 80 million ton capacity north leach pad, which was placed into service in 2013, which increases the amount of non-cash expense we recognize per gold ounce sold.
Capital expenditures in 2014 are expected to decrease significantly. Non-expansion (sustaining) capital expenditures are expected be less than $15 million in 2014. We believe we have plenty of leach pad space to support production requirements for 2014 and as such have not planned a leach pad expansion this year. We expect final payments related to our oxide expansion to be approximately $40 million in 2014 and expect to pay an additional $32 million related to our deferred mill expansion in 2014.
We expect our 2014 corporate general and administrative costs to approximate $17 - $19 million based upon our projected workforce levels and related benefit costs and estimates of other costs, such as, legal and accounting fees, insurance, and consulting and service provider costs.
We expect our 2014 interest expense, net of amounts capitalized to our capital expenditures, to approximate $40 - $45 million, increasing from 2013 as we have minimal planned capital expenditures. Our projected interest expense may vary significantly if the timing and/or amount of our sustaining or expansion capital expenditures are adjusted.
We expect our 2014 exploration, development, and land holding costs to approximate $2 - $3 million, consisting of land holding costs and minimal reserve drilling at Hycroft. Consistent with our strategy and goal to preserve liquidity by managing discretionary spending, we have planned no exploration activities at any of our other properties and we no longer employ a statewide exploration workforce.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Cash Costs Per Ounce
Adjusted cash costs per ounce is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated on a per ounce of gold sold basis, and includes all direct and indirect operating cash costs related to the physical activities of producing gold, including mining, processing, cash portions of production costs written-down, third party refining expenses, on-site administrative and support costs, royalties, and mining production taxes, net of revenue earned from silver sales. Because we are a primary gold producer and our operations focus on maximizing profits and cash flows from the extraction and sale of gold, we believe that silver revenue is peripheral and not material to our key performance measures or our Hycroft Mine operating segment and, as such, adjusted cash costs per ounce is reduced by the benefit received from silver sales.
Adjusted cash costs per ounce provides management and investors with a further measure, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, to assess the performance of our mining operations and ability to generate cash flows over multiple periods from the sale of gold. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. Accordingly, the above measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The table below presents a reconciliation between non-GAAP adjusted cash costs (excluding write-down), which is the numerator used to calculate non-GAAP adjusted cash costs per ounce (excluding write-down), to Production costs (GAAP). Adjusted cash costs per ounce (excluding write-down) are then increased for the per ounce cash portion of previously incurred production costs that were written down and included in Write-down of production inventories (GAAP)(in thousands, except ounces sold):

Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated by excluding exceptional or unusual charges and write-downs from reported net income. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income to evaluate the Company's operating performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of adjusted net income allows investors and analysts to compare the results of the continuing operations of the Company relating to the production and sale of minerals to similar operating results of other mining companies, by excluding exceptional or unusual items, including write-downs of production inventories and losses on assets classified as held for sale. Management's determination of the components of adjusted net income are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts.
The table below presents reconciliation between non-GAAP adjusted net income and net income (GAAP), using amounts reported on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (in thousands):
