Unaudited Interim Results

 

for the six months ended 31 August 2020

 

AfriTin Mining Limited (AIM: ATM), an African tin mining company with its flagship asset, the Uis tin mine ("Uis") in Namibia, is pleased to release its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 August 2020.

Highlights

· Revenue increased to £1,083,996 for the six-month period ended 31 August 2020;

· Phase 1 pilot plant continues to ramp up and achieved a production record of 37.5 tonnes of tin concentrate in August 2020;

· Publication of an internal operational and financial and forecast review to accompany the mineral resource estimate (JORC 2012) conducted by CSA Global, indicated robust economics for current plant expansion;

· The Company expects to complete the ramp-up to steady-state production of 60 tonnes of tin concentrate per month by the end of 2020;

· Continued shipments of tin concentrate to Thaisarco, with the agreement renewed for a further 12 months which is anticipated to increase revenues further as production continues to ramp up; and,

· Renewed and increased working capital and VAT facilities with Nedbank Namibia during the period.

 

Chief Executive Officer's Statement

Introduction

Despite the continued global uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdown, AfriTin has steadily increased production at the Uis tin mine in Namibia, resulting in a marked increase in the revenue of the Company during the period. During this period, the operations of the Phase 1 pilot plant achieved a production record of 37.5 tonnes of tin concentrate in August 2020 despite ongoing planned shutdowns for plant improvements. This equates to 63% of expected Phase 1 steady-state production and with continued improvements we anticipate this increasing to steady-state production targets by the end of 2020. The off-take agreement with Thaisarco has been renewed for a further 12 months and the Company looks forward to building on this robust relationship as the shipments increase over the coming months. The global tin market has been one of the better performers on the London Metals Exchange during this uncertain period confirming our belief in the market fundamentals of tin.

COVID-19 pandemic

In March 2020, Namibia implemented a lockdown across the country in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. However, under the government legislation, mining operations were categorised as critical economic services and minimal operational activity was permitted to continue, including critical maintenance work. To comply with this directive, AfriTin had to suspend open-pit mining at the Uis tin mine, but we were able to continue feeding the processing plant from the run-of-mine stockpile. At the time of the lockdown, more than two months' worth of ore feed had been stockpiled, enabling the Company to maintain the ramp-up, albeit at a slower pace than originally planned.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, AfriTin implemented new health measures across the Company to protect our employees from the virus. The health and safety of our employees and communities remains a key priority, and the Company is following all World Health Organisation and Namibian National Health guidelines and recommendations to ensure their wellbeing. AfriTin can report that there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at the Uis tin mine. A COVID-19 community support programme was established to support the residents of Uis. This includes providing the local clinic with medical supplies and contracting a local Uis resident to make facemasks which were distributed at the clinic and the local school.

Review of the business & operations

In June 2020, AfriTin performed an internal financial and operational review to accompany the mineral resource estimate (JORC 2012) conducted by CSA Global, declared on 16 September 2019. This review outlined the development strategy for the Uis tin project, dovetailed with AfriTin's corporate strategy of a fast-tracked but risk-mitigated pathway to growing company value through the establishment of free cash flows, while developing a schedule towards expanded operations.

This translates into the following objectives:

· Confirming the historical mineral resources followed by exploration of proximal mineralised pegmatites;

· Establishing a mining and processing operation of sufficient scale and efficiency to be commercially viable and provide free cash flows as expeditiously as possible;

· Expanding the revenue stream from tin concentrate to include other viable by-products, with particular emphasis on tantalum and lithium; and

· Using the pilot facility as a platform to develop a large-scale operation.

Initiatives to solve identified key bottlenecks in the processing plant are ongoing. As a result of higher-than-anticipated fines material in the run-of-mine feed, improvements were required to rebalance material flows and expand capacity related to the dewatering of grits (45 to 500 micron particles) and slimes (smaller than 45 micron particles). The bottlenecks in the fines dewatering circuit of the Uis processing plant have now been addressed. As a result, the Company looks forward to completing the ramp-up to steady-state production of 60 tonnes of tin concentrate per month by the end of 2020.

Financing

In May 2020, AfriTin secured a £2.05 million loan note facility. This facility enabled the Company to continue executing its growth strategy for the ramp-up phase of the Phase 1 pilot plant. In addition, the facility provided additional protection against any potential effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. At 31 August 2020, the Company had drawn down £1.8 million of this facility.

On 31 July 2020, the Company renewed and increased its working capital and VAT facilities with Nedbank Namibia for a further 12-month period. This support from a local bank in Namibia shows confidence in our Company, asset and commodity. In August 2020, AfriTin raised additional equity financing by way of a placing and subscription of £3.05 million at a price of 2.1 pence per ordinary share through existing shareholders and - importantly - this also attracted prominent new institutional investors to the share register. Their participation demonstrates on-going confidence in our team's ability to deliver our stated strategy and growth plans.

Outlook

2020 is proving to be an unprecedented time for both the mining sector and the world as a whole. However, the Company has adapted to the confines of the COVID-19 pandemic. I'd like to thank the entire team for all their dedication during these difficult times as well as acknowledge the ongoing support from the Namibian Government, our loyal shareholders and board of directors.

AfriTin is well set for the second half of the financial year as we continue our journey to become the tin champion of Africa and I look forward to providing further updates in the second half of the financial year.

2. Significant accounting policies

 

Basis of accounting

 

The interim financial statements have been prepared using measurement and recognition criteria based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS and IFRIC interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted for use in the EU. The interim financial information has been prepared using the accounting policies which will be applied in the Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2021 and which were applied in the Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 29 February 2020.

 

The Group has adopted the standards, amendments and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2020. The adoption of these standards and amendments did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Group. See Note 3.

 

The interim financial information for the six months to 31 August 2020 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory financial information. The statutory accounts for the year ended 29 February 2020 are available on the Company's website. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and included a material uncertainty in respect of going concern but did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or 498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006..

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are discussed further in this note.

 

Going concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

 

At 31 August 2020, the Company had cash in the bank of £2.6m and had drawn down £764k of the available £1.9m Nedbank working capital and VAT facility.

 

The £2.05m loan note issued in May 2020 (of which only £1.8m has been drawn down) as well as the £3.8m convertible loan note raised in November 2019 mature in May 2021.

 

The Nedbank facility of N$43m (approx. £1.9m) as well as the N$4.2m (approx. £188k) Nedbank guarantee to Namibia Power Corporation Pty Limited in relation to a deposit for the supply of electrical power continue to be in place. The Nedbank facility falls due for renewal in July 2021.

 

The Company is commissioning and ramping up the Phase 1 pilot plant at Uis with the purpose of proving up the feasibility of a much larger, profitable Phase 2 plant to go into full commercial production. Whilst the ramp up was adversely impacted by supply chain disruption associated with COVID-19, the ramp up is now continuing with minimal disruption following easing of government restrictions and measures implemented by the mine.

 

Management have prepared a detailed cashflow forecast for the period to 30 September 2021 and performed stress tests of those forecasts. The base case forecast demonstrates that the Group will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due and includes the following key assumptions:

 

· The £3.8m convertible loan notes issued in November 2019 and the £2.05m loan notes issued in May 2020 (of which only £1.8m have been drawn down) are assumed to be settled in equity. Per the agreements, the £3.8m convertible loan notes can be settled in equity at the discretion of the Company. However, settlement of the £2.05m loan notes (of which only £1.8m has been drawn down) in cash or shares is subject to agreement by both parties and therefore equity settlement cannot be guaranteed and is dependent on the loan note holders being in agreement.

· The working capital facility with Nedbank Namibia is anticipated to be renewed in July 2021 under the annual review.

· Prices have been set at $18 000 which is the current spot price per tonne of tin and $150 000 per tonne of tantalum.

· The forecasts assume a continued ramp up in production to steady state for Phase 1 of the operation by the end of 2020.

 

Whilst the Board anticipate that the £2.05m loan note (of which only £1.8m has been drawn down) will be settled in equity, there can be no guarantee that this event will occur and if it is not forthcoming the Group will likely need to raise additional funds.

 

Whilst the Board fully anticipate renewal of the working capital facility in July 2021, noting the recent renewal of the facility, there can be no guarantee that this will occur.

 

Additionally, the Group's forecasts are based on anticipated growth in production which is considered achievable by the Board. However, the Board have considered the risks and uncertainties associated with COVID-19 on the Group's operations including the potential impact on areas including risks to supply chain and access to site by consultants, additional government restrictions and potential volatility in commodity prices. In the event of further disruption to the production ramp up or operational cash flow as a result of COVID-19 or other related operational issues, the Group may require additional funding.

 

These matters indicate a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

 

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial period are addressed below.

 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

i) Going concern and liquidity

 

Significant estimates were required in forecasting cash flows used in the assessment of going concern including tin and tantalum prices, the level of production and the rate at which production ramp up is achieved, operating costs and capital expenditure requirements. Additionally, judgment has been applied in assessing the likely form of settlement of one of the loan notes, renewal of the working capital facility and the risks associated with COVID-19, together with mitigating steps available to the Group if required.

 

ii) Decommissioning and rehabilitation obligations

 

Estimating the future costs of environmental and rehabilitation obligations is complex and requires management to make estimates and judgements as most of the obligations will be fulfilled in the future and contracts and laws are often not clear regarding what is required. The resulting provisions (see Note 16) are further influenced by changing technologies, political, environmental, safety, business and statutory considerations.

 

The Group's rehabilitation provision is based on the net present value of management's best estimates of future rehabilitation costs. Judgement is required in establishing the disturbance and associated rehabilitation costs at period end, timing of costs, discount rates and inflation. In forming estimates of the cost of rehabilitation which are risk adjusted, the Group assessed the Environmental Management Plan and reports provided by internal and external experts. Actual costs incurred in future periods could differ materially from the estimates and changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates, inflation rates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of the provision. The carrying amount of the rehabilitation obligations for the Group at 31 August 2020 was £80 968 (August 2019: £75 600 and February 2020: £86 005).

 

iii) Impairment indicator assessment for exploration & evaluation assets

 

Determining whether an exploration and evaluation asset is impaired requires an assessment of whether there are any indicators of impairment, including specific impairment indicators prescribed in IFRS 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. If there is any indication of potential impairment, an impairment test is required based on value in use of the asset. The valuation of intangible exploration assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable deposits which, in turn, is dependent on future tin prices, future capital expenditures and environmental, regulatory restrictions and the successful renewal of licenses. The directors have concluded that there are no indications of impairment in respect of the carrying value of intangible assets at 31 August 2020 based on planned future development of the projects and current and forecast tin prices. Exploration and evaluation assets are disclosed fully in Note 10.

 

iv) Impairment assessment for property, plant and equipment

 

Management performed an impairment indicator assessment at 31 August 2020 and identified a potential impairment indicator based on the Group's market capitalisation and the decrease in tin prices and performed an impairment test accordingly. The impairment test was performed on a fair value less cost to sell basis and included assessments of different scenarios associated with capital development and expansion opportunities. The forecasts required estimates regarding forecast tin and tantalum prices, ore resources and production, together with operating and capital costs. The impairment test was performed at a post-tax nominal discount rate of 11.7%.

9. Loss per share from continuing operations

 

The calculation of a basic loss per share of 0.15 pence (August 2019: loss per share of 0.10 pence and February 2020: loss per share of 0.29 pence), is calculated using the total loss for the period attributable to the owners of the Company of £999 434 (August 2019: £624 551 and February 2020: £1 781 962) and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period of 677 705 520 (August 2019: 599 566 233 and February 2020: 623 591 330).

 

Due to the loss for the period, the diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share. The number of potentially dilutive ordinary shares, in respect of share options, warrants and shares to be issued as at 31 August 2020 is 89 723 725 (August 2019: 50 536 891 and February 2020: 69 080 819). These potentially dilutive ordinary shares may have a dilutive effect on future earnings per share.

On 16 August 2019, a working capital facility of N$35m (approximately £1.6m) and a VAT facility for N$8m (approximately £358k) was entered into between the Company's subsidiary, AfriTin Mining (Namibia) Pty Limited and Nedbank Namibia.

 

The VAT facility is secured by assessed/audited VAT returns (refunds) which have not been paid by Namibia Inland Revenue. Nedbank Namibia provides a facility amounting to 70% of the total unpaid refunds. Any drawdowns against this facility are repaid to the bank upon receipt of cash from Namibia Inland Revenue.

 

The working capital facility and the VAT facility were reviewable on 31 July 2020 and were renewed for a further 12-month period. Interest accrues on these loans at the prime rate charged by Nedbank Namibia.

 

Both AfriTin, as the parent company of AfriTin Mining (Namibia) Pty Limited, and Bushveld Minerals Limited ("Bushveld"), a shareholder holding approximately 8% of the Company, provide collateral in the form of a joint suretyship.

 

In addition to the facility amount of N$35m (approx. £1.6m) , Nedbank Namibia have provided AfriTin Mining (Namibia) Pty Limited with a N$4.1m (approx. £184k) guarantee to Namibia Power Corporation Pty Limited in relation to a deposit for the supply of electrical power. As a result of the guarantee provided by Nedbank Namibia, no cash was paid over for the deposit.

 

On 5 May 2020, £2.05m financing was secured by way of a new loan note facility. The notes, which are issued in tranches of £50k, bear an interest rate of 10% per annum to be accrued and payable in full on redemption, either in cash or through the issue of shares by mutual agreement between the Company and the loan note holders and have a 12-month term. At 31 August 2020, the company had drawn down on £1.8 million of these notes. As part of the facility agreement, the loan note holders received 10 warrants for each £1 subscribed and paid for, each warrant giving the holder the right to subscribe for one share in AfriTin. The warrants can be exercised at any time from the date of issue and will lapse on 4 May 2023. The exercise price of the warrants is 1.95p.

Provision for future environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning costs are made on a progressive basis. Estimates are based on costs that are regularly reviewed and adjusted appropriately for new circumstances. The environmental rehabilitation liability is based on disturbances and the required rehabilitation as at 31 August 2020.

 

The rehabilitation provision represents the present value of decommissioning costs relating to the dismantling of mechanical equipment and steel structures related to the Phase 1 pilot plant, the demolishing of civil platforms and reshaping of earthworks. A provision for this requires estimates and assumptions to be made around the relevant regulatory framework, the magnitude of the possible disturbance and the timing, extent and costs of the required closure and rehabilitation activities. In calculating the appropriate provision, cost estimates of the future potential cash outflows based on current studies of the expected rehabilitation activities and timing thereof are prepared. These forecasts are then discounted to their present value using a risk-free rate specific to the liability. In determining the amount attributable to the rehabilitation liability, management used a discount rate of 9.35%, an inflation rate of 5.5% and an estimated mining period of 38 years. Actual rehabilitation and decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary rehabilitation works and timing of when the mine ceases operation.
