Reopening Los Santos mine utilizing proprietary technology

 

We continue to value the shares of Almonty Industries using a two-stage

Discounted Cashflow entity model of Almonty's producing assets (Sangdong,

Los Santos, and Panasqueira) to which we have added the discounted value of

the development project (Valtreixal). Given a lower number of shares

outstanding and lower capex from re-operationalising the Spanish Los Santos

mine than previously anticipated, we adjust our target price to CAD 1.69

from CAD 1.59 per share. With an expected share price performance of

181.7%, we confirm our Buy rating for the shares of Almonty Industries.

In the first quarter of 2023, Almonty's earnings showed no surprises. As

expected, the costs incurred from the development of Sangdong were not

fully covered by the revenues from the producing Valtreixal mine. The

bottom line was an operating loss (EBIT) of CAD -0.864mn (Q1/2022: CAD

-0.866mn) on revenues of CAD 7.097mn (Q1/2022: CAD 6.258mn, +13.4% YoY).

The operating cash flow improved on a year-on-year basis to CAD -0.726mn

from CAD -1.547mn in Q1/2022.

The former producing mine in western Spain, Los Santos, will be put back

into operation in the coming months and thus earlier than expected by the

company. Los Santos Mine was acquired by Almonty in 2011 and put into

planned care and maintenance in 2020 pending capex required to process its

tailings inventory. New studies have shown that the plant's infrastructure

can be modified using the proprietary Almonty flotation technology with

improved recovery rates so that retreating the tailings will be

economically reasonable. With capex of less than USD 1.3mn, Almonty will

retreat the tailings to recover the more than 800,000 MTUs of tungsten

(WO3) concentrate contained in the sands and torta with a total average

tailings grade of 0.14%. Once fully operational, Los Santos is expected to

generate revenues similar to the Portuguese Panasqueira production mine,

which generated revenues of CAD 24.8mn in 2022.
