Almonty Industries Inc. (ASX: $ALL) has announced the filing of its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and management's discussion & analysis for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The company reported $2,401,000 in positive EBITDA from mining operations and provided updates on its financial performance and ongoing projects.
While our Panasqueira mine in Portugal consistently provides a positive EBITDA from mining operations, Almonty's Q2-2024 loss includes non-cash charges of approximately $450k for interest settled by share issuance, share-based compensation expense of $935k and $1.3 million of unrealized foreign exchange loss. EBITDA from mining operations at our Panasqueira mine was $2,401,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and is in line with equaling or exceeding $10 million of EBITDA from mining operations for the year ending December 31, 2024. In addition, the company continued to clean up its balance sheet by converting over $9 million of long-term debt into shares of the company as well as push out the maturity date of an additional $21.4 million of long-term debt to March 2027. The company's working capital deficiency has also shown a significant positive trend with a decrease of 79% from $30.4 million as at December 31, 2023 down to $6.1 million as at June 30, 2024. The build-out of our Sangdong Mine is in full swing towards completion of construction, with drawdowns on our KfW IPEX-Bank US$75.1 million loan facility being received on time and as planned and with the 7th and 8th drawdowns, totaling US$10.64 million, having been received during July 2024. In addition, given the fact that our underground Panasqueira mine, with a grade of 0.14%, is providing a significant positive EBITDA from mining operations, the company expects very positive results from its underground Sangdong mine in South Korea, once it commences production, given its 0.46% grade of material to be mined.
