      29 December 2008 AIM: VGM
      Vatukoula Gold Mines plc

      Preliminary Results for period ended 31 August 2008

      Highlights:

      o Total revenue of £3.8 million (2007: £0.03 million);

      o Acquisition of flagship asset, Vatakoula gold mine in Fiji, involving a total investment of £5.7 million to restore full production;

      o Production to end of August 2008: 12,847 milled ounces;

      o £15.8 million raised via placement of shares and the exercise of warrants.

      Post Period Highlights:

      o Management strengthened - appointments of new CEO, Chief Geologist and Mine Planner;

      o First operating profits since reopening of Vatukoula mine reported in October;

      o Continued production ramp-up.



      Commenting on these results, Dave Paxton, Vatakoula's CEO, said: "2008 has been a transformational year for Vatakoula, with our focus on fast-tracking gold production in Fiji seeing the Company transitioning from an exploration play to a profitable gold producer. The long-life resource of the Vatakoula mine places us in an excellent position to reap the benefits of the improving fundamentals expected in the gold market next year. Management, nevertheless, remains focused on achieving the production targets required to ensure the project's profitability going forward. "


      'seeing the Company transitioning from an exploration play to a profitable gold producer.' Becoming profitable since year ending Aug 2008 and ramping up production well should see a strong interest in these shares.

      The very strong volume traded over the last 2 months ( over 350 million shares or 18.5% of issued shares ) has seen fairly heavy forced selling absorbed and plenty of new buyers coming in. Looks like the forced sellers are almost done -- could be a sharp move up early 2009. That heavy volume will probably signal a technical reversal upwards.

      AIM listed Vatukoula Gold Mines also has some good news for investors as its mine in Fiji is steadily increasing gold production towards a target of 2,000 ozs per week and cutting costs down to US$600/oz which, though high, is not bad with the current price of gold. This underground mine has been in production for more than 50 years and when money is available to spend on refurbishing plant and equipment costs should fall further.

      Operational Update for the period 1 December 2008 - 28 February 2009


      Highlights

      *

      Lower utilisation rates reduced underground production and gold recovered
      o

      47,571 tonnes of ore mined (down from 67,100 tonnes in previous quarter)
      o

      7,470 ounces of gold produced (down from 10,521 ounces in previous quarter)
      *

      Increased average gold price achieved at US$ 884/ounce (up from US$792 /ounce in previous quarter)
      *

      Decreased fuel costs and removal of government levy reduce cost of power from US$ 0.38 / kilowatt hour in September 2008 to US$ 0.21 / kilowatt hour In February 2009
      *

      Concluded negotiations with the government of Fiji to remove 25% gross proceeds tax and fuel levy

      As announced on 8 December 2008, this update covers the period from 1 December 2008 - 28 February 2009 (2nd Quarter) thus providing alignment with our financial reporting timetable. The 3rd quarter operational results for the period 1 March 2009 - 31 May 2009 will be announced by 30 June 2009. In addition we will be reporting our half yearly financial results for the period ending February 2009 by 31 May 2009.

      Operations Update: Since our last operational update announced on 8 December 2009, the mining operations at Vatukoula have been adversely affected by the availability / utilisation rates of mine operating equipment. This has led to a reduction in gold produced down to 7,470 troy ounces. As a consequence of the lower production rates our US$ operating cost per ounce increased from US$ 598 / ounce in the last quarter to US$ 852 / ounce in this quarter.

      When we acquired the mine in April 2008 we instigated a refurbishment programme across the mine with particular focus on the underground mining equipment, pumps and our power generating capacity. Although this has been successful in achieving the increased production to date it is evident that to achieve our production target of 110,000 ounces of gold per annum, we will need to embark on capital expenditure programme to acquire additional refurbished underground equipment which will include amongst other items and additional five underground dump trucks and six underground loaders, more reliable power generating capacity and spare pumping capacity.


      The capital expenditure programme will require between US$6 million to US$8 million to allow the mine to remove current production bottlenecks and enable us to achieve our production target. .The Directors have had several preliminary offers in relation to the financing of this programme and are assessing which will deliver the best value to shareholders.


      Subject to the investment into the mine, management believes it will be able to achieve a pro-rata rate of 110,000 ounces of gold during the first half of 2010. This rate of production should lower our cash costs per ounce (assuming an oil price of 60$ / barrel) between US$ 500 / ounce and US$ 550 /ounce.


      On 8 December 2008, the Company announced inaugural net unaudited operational profits for October 2008 of approximately US$ 1.55 million dollars (F$ 2.74 million), the net unaudited operational profits for the quarter ending November 2009 were US$ 498,920 (F$ 1.05 million). Due to the reduction in production over this quarter we made a net unaudited operating loss of US$ 611,999 (F$ 1.12 million).



      Power: The Vatukoula gold mine has historically operated on diesel generated power, which can represent between 35% and 40% (dependant on usage and oil price) of the cash costs. Although our cash costs per kilo watt hour ("KwH") have dropped from US$ 0.38 per KwH in September 2008 to US$ 0.21 per KwH in February 2009, which has been due both to the global decrease in fuel prices and to tax exemptions granted in January 2009 (as announced on 7 January 2009), the management is seeking alternate means to reduce this cost. In particular we are currently in discussions with several parties in relation to the provision of power from bio-fuel alternatives available in Fiji. Management believes that if the Company switches to this alternate power source the mines' cost would drop to approximately US$ 0.10 / KwH, which in turn will result in lower operating costs per ounce.


      Underground Operations: Underground production for the period decreased to 47,113 tonnes, with an average mine grade of 7.37 grams of gold per tonne. The decrease in underground mining has been predominantly affected by the availability / utilisation rates of the underground haulage equipment which has limited the amount of ore we are able to transport to the mill. As mentioned previously in this announcement, the purchase of additional underground earthmoving equipment and increasing the reliability of the power generation equipment will allow us to increase our mining rates.

      In early to mid January 2009 the Islands of Fiji, particularly in the Western Provinces (which includes the mine area), were hit by substantial and unseasonal rainfall. Water ingress to the mine was substantial, and this combined with our limited availability of power, and a limited pumping capacity created some concern on flooding problems at the mine. However our mine staff and management worked overtime to ensure that the mine was safe and that production was not materially affected, in total the equivalent of two days production was lost.


      Milling Operations: The Vatukoula Treatment Plant is now operating satisfactorily, with gold recoveries at 87 %, which is consistent with historic gold recoveries at Vatukoula. The ore milled has decreased as a result of the lower feed from the mining operations . This, in addition to a lower head grade delivered to the plant, has decreased the gold produced to 7,470 ounces for the 2nd Quarter.


      Labour : As stated in the announcement of November 2008 the mine has currently has approximately 750 local full time and contract employees is still anticipated that at full production the Company will be employing approximately 800 full time employees.


      Fijian Government: As announced on 7 January 2009 the Company reached an agreement with the Ministry of Finance and National Planning of Fiji (MFNP) in relation to the grant of key concessions and exemptions to the Company's 100%-owned subsidiary Vatukoula Gold Mines Ltd (Fiji). In which the MFNP has agreed to remove a 25% levy on gross gold proceeds and cease the withholding of value added tax refunds effective immediately. In addition to the above concessions the MFNP has granted an exemption from fiscal and value added tax payable on fuel used in power generation at the mine. The Company is still in discussions with the Fijian government and the exemptions stipulated in the 10 August Deed are still being negotiated.



      David Paxton, CEO, said "Difficulties with equipment availability has been a major concern and has resulted in lower utilization rates. Management has retained external suppliers to complete a refurbishment programme to free our current engineering staff to maintain our current equipment rather than undertaking our own refurbishment programme.

      We still firmly believe in the future of the Vatukoula Gold Mines and are making every effort to return Vatukoula to operating profitability. Mine staff have performed exceptionally well in the current environment. Their efforts in keeping the water ingress under control during the rain fall in January was exceptional."

      Interim Operational Update


      Vatukoula Gold Mines Plc, the AIM quoted Fijian gold mining producer, announces an interim operational update from its wholly-owned Vatukoula Gold Mine in Fiji. An increase in production has been seen as a result of the recent capital expenditure in underground development, underground mining equipment and at our power generating facility.

      Of particular note and as a result of the planned capital expenditure, for the period 12 October 2009 to 23 November 2009, the Vatukoula Gold Mine has mined 24,926 tonnes of underground sulphide ore with a delivered grade to the mill of 11.22 grams per tonne of gold (8,994 ounces).

      In addition, during this same period, the oxide circuit of the mill has mined 21,583 tonnes of open pit oxide ore with a delivered grade to the mill of 1.98 grams per tonne of gold (1,376 ounces).

      These results, in particular the grade being delivered to the mill are above management expectations for the period and as a result the Company's first quarter results are expected by management to show an improvement in both production and cash costs per ounce over the previous quarter. The Company plans to release its operational update for the first quarter in December 2009 which will also detail other aspects of the operations over the quarter ending November 2009 including the gold recovered.

      Colin Orr Ewing, Chairman of Vatukoula Gold Mines commented - "These positive results are due to the Company pursuing its stated strategy of capital investment to bring this historic gold mine back up to full production capacity and as a result we should see a commensurate reduction in operating cash cost per ounce in the next quarterly update."

      U.K.-listed mining company Vatukoula Gold Mines PLC (VGM.LN) is expected to announce Monday that it has found more gold at its existing gold mine on the Asia-Pacific island of Fiji, The Independent on Sunday reports without citing sources.

      David Paxton, the company's chief executive, is expected to announce Monday that the company has drilled new holes in the area where its existing Fijian mine is located and struck gold each time, the newspaper reported.

      The Fijian mine produces 40,000 troy ounces of gold a year and is seeking to expand the mine, the newspaper reported.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 40.432.215 von XIO am 01.11.10 21:59:38Dazu ein Posting aus England (gestern abend):

      MOS - Margin of Safety
      Ok was reviewing my best case scenario (current resources only) and thought I would share this with you so you can either pick holes in it or use it to start your own research.
      VGM MCAP is currently 135mio with a share price of 3.7p
      Based on 100,000 oz pa, say $700 per ounce profit ($1,300 selling price - $600 costs) = $70,000,000 earnings (profit) pa
      $70,000,000 / 1.6 = £43,600,000
      ~3,652,000,000 shares in circulation
      EPS = £43,600,000 / 3,652,000,000 = 0.011938
      Using a very conservative PE of 10 (many other miners have much larger PEs)
      0.011938 x 10 = 11.93p / I said 9p as to incorporate a margin of safetyAll this without the exploration upside, it will fly if we hit the 100k oz pa run rate consistantly
      No ramp intended just financial calculations based on the current situation

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 40.434.176 von updax am 02.11.10 09:49:49Der Anstieg setzt sich fort, in einer Woche 30%.
      Mein Einstieg bei 3,25, aktuell 4,15.

      In England findet der Wert mehr Interesse.
      Posting letzte Nacht (Zahlenspiele):

      OK We are capitalised at £170M today
      a POG $1350 - costs $650 = $700/oz X 85000 ozs =$60.0m £40.0M approx P/E 4 Assume avge Canadian P/E of 10 then we have an sp projection of 10p
      b If POG rises to $1550 =$900 x 85koxs = $76.5M = £50M approx P/E 3.4 we then have a projection of 12p
      If we are producing 100kozs then we are talking a) - a projection of over 16p & b) a projection of 20p
      Lastly if we can see in 2012 200kozs which is possible then this could lift us to a sp of 32p & b 40p Of course our costs would be lower.
      Of course all this assumes the POG does not rise above 1550$.
      The scenario I like is Production 100kozs avge POG $1750 & costs reduced down to $550 sp projection 28p
      I know there is a lot of conjecture here & figs are rough but I don't care I LIKE THEM There is no doubt though boys we have A GOLD MINE.
      Any errors please be gentle & feel free to be more accurate but I am in for the long haul so I don't really care.

      TEXT SIZE TORONTO (miningweekly.com) - Aim-listed Vatukoula Gold Mines expects to be producing at an annualised rate of 100 000 oz/y by the company's second quarter - the three months ended February 2011 - and is considering an expansion to double throughput and gold production in the medium term, CEO Dave Paxton said on Wednesday.

      The company is also planning to apply for a secondary listing in North America, with the goal of improving its market value through greater exposure, he said in an interview in Toronto.

      "It's down to valuations," Paxton said. "We are currently valued at $40/oz, while North American underground gold-mining companies are valued at $200/oz-plus.

      "So the London market's just not giving us the valuation that I think we should have."

      Vatukoula shareholders will also vote next week on a proposal to consolidate the firm's shares on a 50-to-one basis, partly in preparation for the listing in North America.

      Paxton declined to comment on which exchange the company is looking at. Vatukoula's two biggest shareholders are Sprott Asset Management, with 18,3%, and Vancouver-based Canadian Zinc Corporation, with 15,4%.

      EXPANSION PLANS

      Vatukoula produced 21 107 oz of gold in its fourth quarter (ended August 31), and Paxton said he expects to be up to 25 000 oz in its second fiscal quarter, the three months ended February 28.

      The company - then called River Diamonds - bought the Vatakoula gold mine in Fiji in 2008. The mine has produced seven million ounces over 74 years.

      However, South Africa's DRDGold had put the operation on care-and-maintenance in 2006, after it decided that mining was not economically viable. The asset was sold to a company called Westech Mining a year later, and then on to what was then River Diamonds.

      The company has worked hard to get the mine operating smoothly, increase underground development and push costs down, and the effort is now paying off, Paxton said.

      The firm will not need to raise funds for exploration or development at the mine over the coming months, and Paxton said he would prefer to see the share price rise before considering any future financings.

      "We've got 13-million pounds cash, we're making a profit at the moment, we are well covered for what we are doing at the moment.

      "Any money that we would raise in the future would be expansion money."

      The company is looking at doubling production at Vatukoula in the future by adding additional hoisting capacity, Paxton said.

      The timing will be determined by exploration progress, but a second shaft could probably be developed reasonably quickly once the decision is made, he said.

      The Vatakoula mine has a 43-year mine life, based on 100 000 oz/y production rates. Paxton is also optimistic about the exploration potential for the area surrounding the mine.

      POWER PLANS

      Vatukoula reported average cash costs of $647/oz in its fiscal fourth quarter, and is targeting costs of below $600/oz, which Paxton said should be achievable as underground production ramps up.

      In the longer term, the company is looking at shaving a significant piece off operating costs if it can get plans for a 25-MW wood-fired power station off the ground.

      Power at the moment comes from diesel shipped to the mine site, and represented around 40% of operating costs in the company's 2010 financial year.

      Vatukoula is in talks with a New Zealand-based company that would build, own and operate the power station, which could begin commercial operations by around 2013, Paxton said.

      The gold-miner would expect to buy 20 MW itself through an offtake agreement with the power station developer, and the other five megawatts would go into the local grid.

      Umtausch der Aktien 50:1 hat gut geklappt.

      Jetzt scheinen einige einzukaufen.

      A BRAND new co-generation power plant, increasing staff levels, carbon credits, possible listing on a stock exchange and a new drill rig are just some of the expansion plans being looked into by by Vatukoula Gold Mine Limited.

      General manager Bert Leathley said the planned expansions and acquisitions were the result of a projected mine lifespan of 40 years.

      "Vatukoula has reserves and resources of 4.3m ounces gold. Should all of this ore be mined, the mine would operate for over 40 years," he said.

      In light of this proposed expansion program, Mr Leathley said the company had acquired a number of underground exploration drills and was negotiating the purchase of a diamond drilling surface exploration drill rig.

      "This will bring our total number of rigs to 11," he said.

      "We have 10 underground rigs plus the LM30 surface rig on order which should be in the country in January or February next year.

      "A further reverse circulation exploration rig is on order and should be on site before the end of the year."

      Mr Leathley said the company was also exploring the installation of a wood-fired power generating station to supply mine needs and possibly sell electricity on the national grid.

      "We are investigating the potential to install a power station at Vatukoula. An option is a wood-fired power station.

      "We believe that our eventual power requirement would be in the order of 25 mega watts."

      Mr Leathley said the company was considering a plan to secure carbon credits to offset the US$40million (F$ 74.07m) cost of building the plant which could be up and running as early as 2013.

      "Carbon credits could be a financing option, but would depend on the financing partner's requirement.

      "We also understand that the construction time is 24 months. But we have not yet completed a feasibility and have not yet considered any detailed plans."

      There are also plans for the company to apply for listing on the North American market early next year.

      According to Mr Leathley, Vatukoula has invested a total of $67.7m since taking over operations in 2008 and spent $62m on capital equipment and development since re-opening the mine.

      The company also enjoys tax incentives from the Government as part of an agreement drawn up when the company took over the mine.

      "As part of a deed between the Fijian Government and VGML, dated December 2009, in which VGML is paying $6million into the Vatukoula Social Assistance Trust Fund, the Fijian Government granted VGML an exemption on corporate tax for five years, and concessions on import duty for three years.

      "However, value-added-tax is payable on fuel used."VGML employs 865 permanent staff, 60 casual labourers and have 11 trainees on attachment. The mine's primary contractor ù Nadi Contractors Limited employs a further 200 workers at the site.

      Kann mir jemand erklären, warum die Cashcosts pro Unze bei sagenhaften 1730$ liegen? Was machen die Jungs falsch? Wo liegt das Problem?
      Danke!

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 43.662.102 von NEWpanem am 30.09.12 16:39:33gute Frage....finde auch keine Erläuterung:

      Cash costs for Q4 were US$1,795 per ounce shipped (Q3: US$2,034 per ounce shipped). The main reasons for the decrease in the cash costs per ounce is the increase in grade and recovery from the mill and the decrease in cash costs per tonne mined and milled from US$224 in Q3 to US$170 in Q4. The decrease in cash cost per tonne was driven by a lower movement in gold in circuit than in the previous period and lower power and explosive costs.

      Das sind wahrlich sagenhaft hohe Zahlen, eine Katastrophe. Sollte man das aber unter Kontrole bringen, wäre es ein interessanter Wert.
