Sylvania Platinum Limited
("Sylvania", the "Company" or the "Group")
First Quarter Report to 30 September 2023
Sylvania (AIM: SLP), the platinum group metals ("PGM") producer
and developer with assets in South Africa, announces its results
for the three months ended 30 September 2023 (the "Quarter").
Unless otherwise stated, the consolidated financial information
contained in this report is presented in United States Dollars
("USD" or "$").
Highlights
-- Sylvania Dump Operations ("SDO") produced 20,173 4E (25,533 6E) PGM ounces in Q1 (Q4 FY2023: 19,072 4E (24,383
6E) PGM ounces), in line with guidance for the Quarter;
-- No Lost-Time Injuries ("LTIs") were recorded during the Quarter;
-- SDO recorded $19.7 million net revenue for the Quarter (Q4 FY2023: $24.4 million);
-- Group EBITDA of $2.8 million (Q4 FY2023: $7.8 million);
-- Lannex MF2 flotation circuit commissioned with optimisation well advanced;
-- Improved recoveries are expected at the completion and commissioning of the Lannex fine grinding circuit; and
-- The Thaba Joint Venture ("Thaba JV") project execution is progressing as planned and ordering of long-lead time
items and first construction packages are in progress.
Outlook
-- Commissioning of the Lannex fine grinding circuit expected by the end of Q2 FY2024;
-- Continuous operational performance improvements relating to the optimisation of feed sources, throughput,
recoveries, and cost saving initiatives implemented;
-- An updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") statement for both Volspruit North and South orebodies is currently
under review;
-- Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the entire Volspruit project, along with the results from the
metallurgical test-work are expected during H2 FY2024; and
-- The Group maintains strong cash reserves, which increased 2% in the Quarter to allow funding of expansion and
joint venture ("JV") initiatives, process optimisation capital, upgrading of the Group's exploration and
evaluation assets with the potential to return value to shareholders.
Commenting on the results, Sylvania's CEO, Jaco Prinsloo,
said:
"I am happy with the good start to the new financial year where
the SDO achieved 20,173 4E PGM ounces for the Quarter. This
performance was achieved on the back of a solid production effort
from all operations, with all plants exceeding production
throughput targets, as well as the contribution of the new Lannex
flotation MF2 circuit that also added to our performance.
"The 15% lower PGM basket price recorded during the Quarter
impacted both the 4E revenue as well as the sales adjustment for
the Quarter. Consequently, revenues and profits were lower than in
Q4 FY2023, nonetheless, the Company maintained a strong cash
position.
"On the cost front, SDO cash costs decreased 3% in both rand and
dollar terms, benefiting from the higher ounces produced compared
with Q4 FY2023. Operations continue to navigate higher global cost
inflation impacts and thus operating cost focus remains a top
priority for management.
"The Thaba JV announced during the Quarter represents a key
milestone in Sylvania's growth strategy and is a significant step
forward for Sylvania Metals in expanding our operations and
leveraging the Group's expertise in the recovery of chrome and PGM
concentrates. The orders of long-lead time items and first
construction packages are in progress with civil construction works
expected to commence in Q2 FY2024. Additionally, an updated MRE
statement for both Volspruit North and South orebodies is currently
under review. The PEA for the Volspruit project, along with the
results from the metallurgical test-work are expected during H2
FY2024. The optimisation of value from the exploration assets
remains a key component of Sylvania Platinum's growth strategy and
will aid in supporting the Company's future value proposition for
all stakeholders."

A. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
Safety, health and environment
The safety, health and environmental ("SHE") performance for
this period has again been impressive, driven by the concerted
focus on compliance . The Group is proud to report that there were
no significant SHE related incidents reported during this time.
The Company continues to target Zero Harm to employees and every
injury that is recorded is fully investigated and corrective
measures are implemented to prevent any future reoccurrences.
Sylvania continuously strives to maintain high safety standards and
a safe working environment at all operating sites, with each plant
continuing to operate in accordance with legislated safety and
occupational regulations pertaining to the industry through the
collaborative efforts of management and employees . The 'Make It
Personal' campaign is still in full swing and will be supported by
the launch of the 'Silly Season' campaign in November 2023.
Historically, a high number of accidents at mines are reported
during the last quarter of the calendar year. This period is often
challenging from a health and safety perspective and is commonly
known as 'Silly Season/ Critical Season'. Sylvania, therefore, is
initiating a safety campaign with the objective to proactively
prevent incidents from happening, focusing on current issues and
challenges with the potential to cause injuries and fatalities
.
Meanwhile, the 'Make It Personal' campaign is designed to
improve and maintain personal safety on site. The Company believes
that by making safety a personal matter that everyone is
responsible for, it will become second nature for all. This will
assist to ensure all workers make it home safely, every day, in
line with Sylvania's goal of achieving Zero Harm.
The current lost-time injury frequency rate ("LTIFR") for the
financial year is 0.00 which is a marked improvement from last
quarter when two LTIs were reported.
Operational performance
The SDO delivered 20,173 4E PGM ounces for the Quarter, which
was a 6% improvement on Q4 FY2023. The increased PGM ounces
included approximately 995 4E PGM ounces released from stock and
was supported by the consistency of the PGM feed tons and a 2%
improvement in PGM feed grade, while PGM recoveries declined
marginally during the period. The slightly lower PGM recovery was
primarily due to Mooinooi and Lesedi experiencing lower recovery
efficiencies associated with current feed sources.
The Lannex MF2 flotation circuit has been commissioned with
optimisation well advanced. The completion of the fine grinding
circuit is expected towards the end of Q2 FY2024. Recovery
improvements have been noted with further improvements expected at
the completion and commissioning of the fine grinding circuit.
SDO operating cash costs per 4E PGM ounce decreased 3% in rand
and dollar terms to ZAR11,913/ounce and $639/ounce respectively (Q4
FY2023: ZAR12,319/ounce and $660/ounce). The average ZAR:USD
exchange rate remained largely unchanged during the Quarter.
The Group incurred capital expenditure of ZAR60.0 million ($3.2
million), in line with planned capital project schedules.
Operational opportunities
The Lannex flotation MF2 circuit has been successfully
commissioned. With the construction, completion and commissioning
of the fine grinding circuit scheduled for Q2 FY2024, a further
increase in recoveries is expected.
PGM concentrate quality remains a focus area with the potential
to improve smelter payability, as both concentrate grade and metal
recoveries contribute positively towards the revenue stream of the
Group. A filtration plant is also being evaluated to facilitate the
conversion to dry filtered concentrate instead of the current
slurry tankers, which would assist in reducing concentrate
transport costs and remediate handling challenges at off-take
smelters.
The effect of load curtailment of power at Lesedi decreased
significantly from the 221 hours downtime recorded in Q4 FY2023 to
81 hours in Q1 FY2024, no other operations were impacted. In line
with the power mitigation strategy, the Lesedi back-up generator
installation is progressing and scheduled for commissioning during
the latter part of Q2 FY2024.
The Company's Pelletiser project, developed with a 'binding
technology' player, continues to make progress. Following the
completion of the pilot-scale work, discussions are still ongoing
with potential industry partners to assess the commercial viability
of the technology.
B. FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Financial performance
Revenue (4E) for the Quarter decreased by 10% to $19.6 million
(Q4 FY2023: $21.8 million) impacted by the 15% decrease in the
basket price recorded in September 2023 and applied to calculate
revenue for ounces produced and delivered in the Quarter. These
deliveries are invoiced in the following quarter and revenue will
be adjusted in the month of invoice. The higher ounces produced in
the quarter contributed $1.2 million to the gross revenue. The
average 4E gross basket price for the Quarter was $1,344/ounce
against $1,581/ounce in Q4 FY2023, impacted mainly by the drop in
rhodium and palladium prices in Q1 FY2024.
Net revenue for the Quarter, which includes base metals and
by-products and the quarter-on-quarter sales adjustment, was $19.7
million (Q4 FY2023: $24.4 million). Net revenue also includes
attributable revenue received for ounces produced from material
processed from a third-party on a trial basis.
Group cash costs per 4E PGM ounce decreased by 5% in rand terms
from ZAR15,392/ounce to ZAR14,584/ounce and saw a 5% decrease in
dollar terms from $824/ounce in the previous quarter to $782/ounce
as a result of the 5% increase in ounce production
quarter-on-quarter.
General and administrative costs were unchanged at $0.70 million
quarter-on-quarter. These costs are incurred in USD, GBP and ZAR
and were minimally impacted by the exchange rate as the USD/ZAR
exchange quarter-on-quarter remained aligned.
Group EBITDA for the Quarter was $2.8 million (Q4 FY2023: $7.8
million) and net profit was $1.8 million (Q4 FY2023: $3.1 million),
the decrease was primarily a result of the lower basket price and
increase in total operating costs.
The Group cash balance increased 2% from $125.0 million
(including restricted cash held as guarantees of $0.8 million) to
$126.9 million during the Quarter. Cash generated from operations
before working capital movements was $3.1 million with net changes
in working capital amounting to $0.7 million, which is mainly due
to the change in trade debtors and trade creditors. The 15%
decrease in basket price off-set marginally by a 6% increase in
production, resulted in the decrease in the trade debtors balance
quarter-on-quarter. Trade debtors arise from the concentrate
delivered in the Quarter but only paid for in the following quarter
as per the concentrate off-take agreements.
Provisional payments for both mineral royalty tax and income tax
are made in December 2023 in line with the South African tax
authority timelines, at an anticipated rate of 6% - 7% for mineral
royalty tax on applicable ounces, and 27% on taxable income in
South Africa. A final cash dividend for FY2023 of 5 pence per
Ordinary Share was declared and is payable on 1 December 2023 to
all shareholders on the register at the close of business on 27
October 2023. The Group spent $3.2 million on capital projects for
the quarter mainly at Lannex for the Lansky Screens $0.6 million
(ZAR10.8 million) ; MF2 project $0.4 million (ZAR6.8 million) and
elevated penstock and drains $0.2 million (ZAR3.4 million) and at
Mooinooi for the recommissioning of the tailings storage facility
$0.2 million (ZAR3.4 million) .
C. MINERAL ASSET DEVELOPMENT AND JOINT VENTURES
The Group holds approved mining rights for three PGM-base metal
projects on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex in
South Africa. Optimisation of the assets has been on-going since
2021 in order to ascertain how best to develop these projects. An
Exploration Results and Resource Statement was completed during
FY2023, and further work continues based on recommendations made in
this report.
Volspruit Project
Work has continued on both the Volspruit North and South
orebodies with large diameter boreholes being drilled on the North
in order to better understand metal recoveries as well as provide
the required detail for plant and infrastructure design to be
completed during the Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS"). This
phase of work will commence upon the completion of a positive PEA,
which is expected in the second half of FY2024. Results from the
metallurgical test-work are expected in the same period.
Updated draft MRE statements for both the North and South ore
bodies have been received and are currently under review. These
updated draft statements include estimates for rhodium and
ruthenium which historically have not been assayed for. Samples
collected from the large diameter drilling campaign were assayed
for 6E PGMs and the results statistically analysed against the
historic assay database. Strong relationships exist between the
presence of platinum, palladium, gold, rhodium and ruthenium, which
allows for the latter two PGM values to be predicted from the
historical 3E PGM results. It is anticipated that these statements
will be published within the next quarter once the internal review
process has been completed.
Steady progress is being made in the permitting process
necessary for the existing mining right. Local Economic Development
projects are gaining traction with discussions kicking off with the
relevant local municipalities. The Water Use License application
for mining and on-site processing operations and the updated
Environmental Impact Assessment submissions are expected to be made
in the first quarter of FY2025, which although later than
anticipated, does allow for a more comprehensive public engagement
process to be completed.
Far Northern Limb Projects
Relogging of the historical core continues across the Aurora
project area with more than 75% of the work being completed. Once
the final data has been compiled and assessed a targeted drilling
programme will be designed and implemented. This is likely to occur
during the fourth quarter of FY2024 to support an updated MRE and
PEA to be commissioned for Aurora.
As reported in the Statement of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources, and Scoping Study released in FY2023, some significant
results were returned from the Hacra North underground target . A
review of the work undertaken to date has been finalised and
results from the study will be released in the second quarter of
FY2024.
D. THABA JV
On 9 August 2023, the Company announced that its wholly owned
South African subsidiary, Sylvania Metals (Pty) Ltd "Sylvania
Metals"), entered into an unincorporated JV Agreement with Limberg
Mining Company (Pty) Ltd ("LMC"), a subsidiary of ChromTech Mining
Company (Pty) Ltd ("ChromTech"), the Thaba JV.
The Thaba JV represents a major step in delivery of Sylvania's
growth strategy and is a significant step forward for Sylvania
Metals in expanding its operations and leveraging its expertise in
the recovery of chrome and PGM concentrates, adding attributable
annual production of approximately 6,500 4E PGM ounces and
introducing 200,000 tons of chromite concentrate to Sylvania
Metals' existing annual production profile. The project execution
phase will be 18-24 months with first production expected in H2
FY2025.
The first contractor is already on site for demolition of
redundant works and to make space at the plant's front-end for new
crushing infrastructure and for the optimisation of conveyor
transfers and stockpile capacity. Procurement of long-lead items
and the first construction packages are currently in progress. The
Thaba JV's civil works are on schedule to commence during Q2
FY2024.
E. CORPORATE ACTIVITIES
