Chairman's statement
I am pleased to present Weatherly's interimΒ results for the six months endedΒ 31 December 2008.Β
As described below,Β followingΒ dramatic falls in the copper price, the Board took the decisionΒ in late 2008Β to close Weatherly's mining operations and place the mines on care and maintenance.Β Weatherly continuesΒ to operate the Tsumeb smelterΒ under Namibia Custom SmeltersΒ to process imported concentrates,Β and has successfullyΒ negotiatedΒ a US$11.3 million loan facilityΒ thatΒ will provide funding for the smelter's expansion and its ongoing requirements,Β as well asΒ for redundancy payments.Β As at the date of thisΒ report,Β US$1.0Β million of thisΒ facilityΒ remainsΒ committed but undrawn.
In addition to the cessation of mining activities, further measures have been taken to reduce overheads at our operations office inΒ NamibiaΒ and at our head office inΒ London.Β
RevenueΒ in the six months to 31 December 2008Β increased to US$77.3Β millionΒ from US$41.5 million in theΒ corresponding prior year period. This was primarilyΒ due toΒ the agreements to process third party concentrates,Β whichΒ were not in place duringΒ the prior six month period.Β Weatherly recorded a gross loss for theΒ six monthsΒ ofΒ US$11.5Β million comparedΒ toΒ aΒ gross profitΒ ofΒ US$4.9 millionΒ for the same period inΒ 2007. The significantly weaker performanceΒ resulted from sharply lower copper prices andΒ higherΒ one-timeΒ operational costs associated with the closure ofΒ our minesΒ -Β specifically redundancy costs and development costs that wouldΒ otherwiseΒ have been capitalised had the Board not decided to writeΒ offΒ these assets.Β
The net loss for the periodΒ ofΒ US$15.4Β million, or US 3.69Β cents per share,Β includedΒ anΒ expense of US$3.0Β millionΒ reflecting an adjustment to the fair value of the company's share optionsΒ in Emerging Metals LimitedΒ (EML) which are valued on aΒ marked-to-market basis;Β aΒ profit on the exercise of copper put options of US$2.7 million;Β andΒ deferred revenue of US$4.9 million releasedΒ in relationΒ to the initial value ofΒ the sale of the slag dumpsΒ to EML following that company'sΒ admission to AIM on 1 July 2008.Β A fair value adjustment of US$5.8Β million was alsoΒ made in order to reflectΒ the decrease in value of the company's shareholdingΒ in EML, although this was recognised through equity rather than the income statement.
The sharp decline in world copper prices from circa US$8,000Β per tonneΒ in June 2008 to circa US$3,000 in November 2008, well below Weatherly's production cost of approximately US$5,000Β per tonne, called into question the viability of the company's mining operations. Weatherly undertook a number of cost cutting measures which initiallyΒ included closingΒ Tsumeb WestΒ in October 2008Β and placing the Matchless mine on care and maintenanceΒ in November, as well asΒ makingΒ redundancies at Otjihase and Tschudi. However, continuing falls in the copper price compelledΒ usΒ to place these last two mines on care and maintenance also,Β with operations ceasing on 20 December 2008. All mine closures were conducted in an orderly manner with appropriate compensation being paid to redundant employees.
Weatherly Mining Namibia's production for the period was as follows:

Starting in April 2009 it is proposed to report production numbers quarterly.
In November 2008,Β withΒ the rapid fall in copper prices, a full review of its cash resources in progress, and a potential claim lodged against the company, Weatherly requested that trading of its shares on AIM be temporarily suspended. The company subsequently implemented an extensive programme of cost reductions, secured the substantialΒ long-term loan facilityΒ referred to above,Β and conducted a thorough investigation into the potential claim.Β Trading in Weatherly's ordinary shares resumed on AIM following publication ofΒ the company'sΒ annual reportΒ on 26 February 2009.
As a result of theΒ decisive andΒ carefully considered measuresΒ it has taken during the period, the Board is cautiously confident that Weatherly isΒ now wellΒ positioned to survive the current market conditions, and toΒ generate significant shareholder value from its existing assets and future opportunities when marketΒ conditions improve.
