Endomines - No gold concentrate production in Q3

Endomines did not sell any gold concentrate from Friday in Q3, as the commissioning of the mill was delayed. Mining operations have progressed well, and an ore stockpile has been built up. Due to the lack of gold concentrate sale from Friday, Endomines’ Q3 figures were clearly below our estimates.
  • Endomines did not sell any gold concentrate from Friday in Q3, while gold recovered from the clean-up at Pampalo generated some revenue. Mining has progressed well at Friday and a significant ore stockpile at the mine and the mill sites has been produced.
  • Revenue* amounted to SEK 1.6m, with our estimates at SEK 10.9m. We had expected minor gold concentrate sales from Friday, while Q3 revenue consisted solely of sale of clean-up gold from the Pampalo mill.
  • EBITDA* in Q3 was at SEK -13.2m, below our estimate of SEK -3.2m given the limited gold concentrate sales. (*Not reported, derived from H1 and Q1-Q3 figures)
  • In the third quarter Endomines was able to commence the ramp-up of the Friday mining and milling operations and the work is now fully ongoing. Issues relating to the commissioning of the mill delayed the start of gold concentrate production. Successful commissioning of the mill is expected to take place during Q4.
  • Endomines did not give an updated production guidance for 2019. The ramp-up of the Friday mine is on-going and an updated guidance will be given once completed the mill is successfully commissioned and ramp-up completed
