FNX Reports First Quarter Results

13/05/2010 11:30am

Marketwired Canada


FNX Mining Company Inc. (TSX:FNX) ("FNX" or the "Company") reports unaudited
operating and financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2010 for its
Sudbury Mining Operations and DMC Mining Services business ("DMC"). 


Consolidated revenues for the first quarter were $50.6 million, compared to
$49.0 million for the same period of 2009. Net earnings for the period were $1.9
million ($0.02 per share), compared to a net loss of $26.2 million ($0.31 per
share) for the comparable period in 2009. The operating cash flow for this
quarter was $20.0 million ($0.20 per share), compared to an outflow of $2.7
million ($0.03 per share) in the first three months of 2009. Adjusted EBITDA for
this quarter was $13.1 million, compared to $12.4 million in the same period of
2009.


The McCreedy West Mine performed well in the first quarter with slightly higher
tonnages and predicted payable metal production. At the Podolsky Mine payable
copper was lower in 2010 than the comparable period in 2009 as a result of stope
sequencing and restricted work areas, which resulted in fewer tons being mined
and lower grade ore than expected. However, almost half of the Podolsky Mine's
first quarter production shortfall has been made up in April and the Company
expects to achieve its 2010 ore and payable metal guidance. Production from LFD1
(formerly Rob's Deposit) was less than expected but the grades were very strong.


Terry MacGibbon, Chairman and CEO of FNX stated that, "The first quarter results
were impacted by a temporary shortfall at the Podolsky Mine, however record
production levels have been achieved in April and the first half of May. FNX
continues to confirm its 2010 guidance. The commencement of initial production
from the LFD remains on schedule for mid-2010 and the Company is preparing for
the possible resumption of primary nickel mining at the McCreedy West Mine later
in 2010."


Mr. MacGibbon continued, "On March 23, 2010, FNX announced a plan of arrangement
for a merger of equals with Quadra Mining Ltd. The merged company will be called
Quadra FNX Mining Ltd. and will have five operating mines located in low risk
jurisdictions (Canada, US and Chile) with a very strong balance sheet, excellent
organic growth and the financial strength to support future M&A activities. The
information circular was mailed to shareholders in late April and the special
meeting of shareholders will be held May 19th. FNX's management and board of
directors unanimously support the merger." 


The cost to produce a pound of copper, net of by-product credits, for the
quarter was negative US$0.74, compared to US$0.53 in the first quarter of 2009.
The average minesite cash revenue per ton of ore shipped during the first
quarter was $280, while the average minesite cash operating cost per ton of ore
shipped was $143, yielding an average minesite cash operating margin per ton of
ore shipped of $137, compared to $366, $218 and $148 respectively in the same
period of 2009. Guidance for the average total production costs for 2010 remains
as originally budgeted at $167 per ton of ore shipped with mining costs to
slightly exceed processing costs. Table 1 provides operating and financial
highlights for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009.


Cash and cash equivalents and working capital as at March 31, 2010 were $236.3
million and $253.9 million respectively, compared to $238.6 million and $262.3
million respectively as at December 31, 2009. FNX continues to have zero debt.

Development

Development of the LFD continued to represent FNX's largest capital expenditure
and its key corporate priority. Capital expenditures at the LFD during the
quarter totaled $13.3 million. The LFD access ramp was advanced to the 3870
Level by the end of the first quarter for a total lateral advance of 3,659 ft.
Infrastructure development at the LFD also focused on power and ventilation
systems. Work on the backfill system continued during the quarter. 


In the first quarter of 2010, capital development at Podolsky was focused on
providing multiple access points to offer increased flexibility to the mine's
stope sequencing. In addition, work on extending the ramp access and level
development of the bulk mining zone of the 2000 Deposit continues above the 1750
Level. The ramp was completed between the 2450 and 1750 Levels in 2009.Total
lateral development was 2,293 ft and this work will support a schedule of
stoping to meet the production plan for 2010. Total capital expenditures in the
first quarter were $2.9 million.


McCreedy West development during the quarter advanced the PM access ramp to the
2000 Level and prepared new drill stations. Additional ventilation capacity to
increase the airflow for the lower PM was nearing completion at quarter end.
Several level extensions for exploration purposes were commenced during the
quarter and will continue to be advanced through the second quarter. The mine is
currently well sequenced to meet the 2010 production schedule. Additional
development at McCreedy West also started to set up primary nickel areas to
prepare for possible resumption of primary nickel mining later in 2010. Capital
expenditures for the Levack Complex, excluding the LFD, totaled $2.3 million in
this quarter.


Exploration

During the first quarter, exploration activities were recorded on four
properties in the Sudbury area. The Victoria Discovery received the bulk of the
activity with five surface drills turning for most of the quarter. While the
majority of these drills focused primarily on further delineation of Zone 2 and
the newly discovered Zone 4, additional broader drilling also tested the overall
potential of the Ethel Lake Quartz Diorite Offset Dyke environment. Drilling at
Zone 2 further expanded the mineralization corridor for over 2,500 ft down
plunge with a 150 to 350 ft strike extent. 


Late in the first quarter, FNX initiated a surface drilling program at the
Kirkwood Property to test the footwall lithologies related to the Segway and
3800 zones. A total of three holes were initiated during the quarter and 3,235
ft were completed. FNX Hole #8019 intersected massive pyrrhotite-cholcopyrite
pendlandite-marcasite mineralization between 212.7 and 250.4 ft (net 37.7 ft
intersection width), which averaged 3.6% copper, 0.7% nickel and 16.3 g/t
platinum, palladium and gold. This mineralization is interpreted to represent
the westward extension of the Segway Zone mineralization. A second hole
intersected only narrow mineralization, while a third hole remains in progress
and is still short of its target.


The Company incurred $3.6 million of ("CEE") in the first quarter of 2010
bringing the total CEE to $10.5 million as at March 31, 2010, leaving a balance
of $4.5 million to be spent in the remainder of 2010. In February 2010, the full
$15.0 million of CEE from the flow-through common shares were renounced with an
effective date of December 31, 2009, resulting in a future income tax liability
of $4.8 million being recognized in the first quarter.


No first aid or medical aid incidents were reported for the exploration team or
contractors during the first quarter.


DMC Mining Services

Revenues from DMC for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $9.5
million, compared to $13.5 million in the first quarter of 2009. Revenues were
lower in the first quarter of 2010 than in comparable periods as a result of
completion of several contracts in the quarter. The operating margin for the
first three months of 2010 was $0.9 million, compared to $0.2 for the comparable
period of 2009. The net loss for this quarter was $0.2 million, compared to a
net loss of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2009. Operating cash flow for
this quarter was $0.3 million, compared to an outflow of $4.0 million for the
same period in 2009. 


The overall business climate for mining contracting in the US and Canada remains
positive. The volume of bidding has increased significantly since 2009. DMC's
work backlog is currently $23.1 million, of which approximately 66% is in the
US. Consequently 100% of the backlog work is expected to be completed in 2010.
In March 2010, DMC celebrated 30 years of serving the mining business completing
numerous projects in Canada, the United States and in many other mining areas of
the world. 


During the quarter, the TMIFR for DMC was 2.0, compared to 4.6 in the first
quarter of 2009. DMC had zero lost time injuries during this quarter.


Investments 

On July 15, 2008, FNX and Gold Wheaton entered into an agreement whereby Gold
Wheaton purchased 50% of the gold equivalent ounces of gold, platinum and
palladium metal contained in ore mined and shipped from certain of the Company's
deposits. FNX produces more gold equivalent ounces than the 50% being sold to
Gold Wheaton and will, therefore, continue to have full market exposure to these
excess ounces.


FNX accounts for its investment in Gold Wheaton using the equity method and is,
therefore, required to include in earnings FNX's share of Gold Wheaton's
earnings or loss for the period, and the Company's investment therein is
adjusted by an equivalent amount. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, FNX's
25.2% share of the loss of its equity investee, Gold Wheaton, was $0.6 million,
compared to earnings of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a loss of
$0.2 million in the first quarter of 2009.


On February 2, 2010, Gold Wheaton announced the consolidation of its common
shares on a one for ten basis. The consolidation was effective February 4, 2010
and resulted in FNX owning 36,000,000 common shares in Gold Wheaton. At March
31, 2010, the market value of FNX's 36,000,000 Gold Wheaton common shares was
approximately $103.7 million. 


The value of the Company's other investments as at March 31, 2010 was $12.1
million, compared to $16.7 million as at December 31, 2010.


Share Capital and Warrants 

In the first quarter of 2010, share capital and warrants decreased by $4.1
million as a result of the renunciation in February 2010 of tax credits
associated with the April 2009 flow-through share issuance, with an effective
date of December 31, 2009. The renunciation resulted in a decrease in share
capital of $4.8 million, which was partially offset by an increase in share
capital of $0.8 million as a result of the exercise of 72,500 stock options.


Under the terms of a deferred share unit ("DSU") plan, the number of DSUs
granted to directors and executive employees is based upon the fair market value
of FNX's common shares at that time. DSUs are only paid out in cash upon the
director's or executive employee's death or resignation from the Board of
Directors or the Company. Included in accrued liabilities at March 31, 2010, is
$4.8 million related to 339,019 DSUs outstanding.


As at March 31, 2010, stock options to purchase 3,448,000 common shares at a
weighted average price of $13.55 per share were outstanding. As at May 10, 2010,
the Corporation had 102,161,689 common shares issued and outstanding and stock
options to purchase 3,372,008 common shares had been granted and were
outstanding, which represents 3.3% of the issued and outstanding common shares
as at that time.


Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Minesite revenue per ton of ore sold, cash operating cost, operating cost, cash
operating margin, operating margin, cash operating cost per pound of copper net
of by-product credits, cash operating cost per ton of ore sold, minesite margin
per ton of ore sold, cash flow per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are
included in this MD&A because these statistics are key performance measures that
management uses to monitor performance. Management uses these statistics to
assess how well the Company is performing compared to plan and to assess the
overall effectiveness and efficiency of its operations. Management believes that
the inclusion of these statistics in the MD&A helps an investor to assess
performance "through the eyes of management" and that certain investors use
these statistics to assess the Company's performance. These performance measures
do not have a meaning within GAAP and, therefore, amounts presented may not be
comparable to similar data presented by other mining companies. The data is
intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP.


Forward-Looking Statement

Certain information included in this press release, including information
relating to future financial or operating performance and other statements that
express management's expectations or estimates of future performance constitute
"forward-looking statements." Such forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, (i) estimates of future capital expenditures; (ii) estimates
regarding timing of future development and production; and (iii) estimates of
future costs towards profitable commercial operations. Where the Company
expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results,
such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a
reasonable basis. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to,
interpretation and implications of drilling and geophysical results; estimates
regarding timing of future capital expenditures and costs towards profitable
commercial operations. Other factors that could cause actual results,
developments or events to differ materially from those anticipated include,
among others, increases/decreases in production; volatility in metals prices and
demand; currency fluctuations; cash operating margins; cash operating cost per
pound sold; costs per ton of ore; variances in ore grade or recovery rates from
those assumed in mining plans; reserves and/or resources; the ability to
successfully integrate acquired assets; operational risks inherent in mining or
development activities, and legislative factors relating to prices, taxes,
royalties, land use, title and permits, importing and exporting of minerals and
environmental protection. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as at the
date hereof and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly
or revise any such forward-looking statements or any forward-looking statements
contained in any other documents whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities law.
For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the
Company's latest filings with Canadian securities regulators.
