FNX Earns $12.5 Million in Second Quarter

14/08/2009 11:30am

Marketwired Canada


FNX Mining Company Inc. (TSX:FNX) ("FNX" or the "Company") reports financial and
operational results for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 for its Sudbury Mining
Operations and its DMC Mining Services business ("DMC").


Consolidated net earnings for the second quarter were $12.5 million ($0.14 per
share) on revenues of $61.9 million, compared to net earnings of $11.3 million
($0.13 per share) on $112.2 million in revenues for the same period of 2008. For
the first six months of 2009, the Company had a net loss of $13.7 million
(($0.16) per share) on revenues of $110.8 million, compared to net earnings of
$35.4 million ($0.42 per share) on revenues of $252.9 million for the first six
months of 2008. Excluding the first quarter's Gold Wheaton Gold Corp. ("GLW")
dilution loss, the Company had adjusted earnings of $17.5 million ($0.20 per
share) for the first six months of 2009. 


Cash and cash equivalents and working capital as at June 30, 2009 improved to
$131.1 million and $137.7 million respectively, compared to $129.6 million and
$130.1 million respectively as at December 31, 2008 and $114.6 million and
$137.2 million respectively, as at March 31, 2009. FNX continues to have zero
debt.


Terry MacGibbon, Chairman and CEO of FNX stated that, "The benefits of our
earlier prudent and decisive actions to optimize our 2009 operational plans and
the implementation of strict controls on capital, operating and corporate
expenditures to preserve cash are evident in our positive second quarter
results. Not only did the Company generate positive earnings, but we also
strengthened our balance sheet with increases in our cash balance and working
capital, while continuing to aggressively develop our most valuable asset, the
Levack Mine's LFD Deposit."


"However, the Company continues to face challenges at its Sudbury operations
with the extended shutdown of its primary custom processor's Sudbury operations
due to their ongoing labour disruption. The Company suspended all ore shipments
to its primary custom processor at the end of May and to the start of August has
stockpiled on surface over 120,000 tons of Cu-Ni-precious metal ore from its
Podolsky and McCreedy West Mines."


He also stated, "The Company is pleased to announce that it has concluded an
agreement with Xstrata Nickel to process at their Strathcona Mill up to 150,000
tonnes of the Company's stockpiled ore. The terms of the Xstrata Nickel
processing agreement will remain confidential. If the Company's primary custom
processor's facilities continue to be shut down for an extended period, the
Company will continue to mine as planned and to stockpile ore through at least
the rest of 2009. The stockpiled ore will be processed at its primary custom
processor's facilities when their operations resume or possibly at the
Strathcona Mill, if the Xstrata Nickel processing agreement is extended. The
Company has sufficient working capital to continue to mine and stockpile its
production into 2010, if required."


Mr. MacGibbon added, "We will continue to monitor the Company's situation in
light of economic challenges and changes in the global commodity markets and in
the Sudbury mining camp during the balance of 2009. I am confident that, with
its new processing agreement with Xstrata Nickel, a strong balance sheet and
streamlined operations, the Company will not only continue to prosper with
improvements in global markets, but to grow and take advantage of business
opportunities that may emerge."

The average minesite revenue per ton during this reporting quarter was $274
while the average cash operating cost per ton was $148, leaving an average
minesite cash operating margin per ton of $126, compared to $213, $145 and $68
in the same period of 2008. For the first half of 2009, the average minesite
cash operating margin per ton was $133, compared to $110 in the first half of
2008.


Shipping of ore from the company's Sudbury Mining Operations was suspended at
the end of May, when the Company's third party processor implemented an extended
shutdown, which subsequently became a labour disruption. FNX has continued to
produce ore according to our 2009 production plan and is stockpiling ore on
surface sites for future shipment.


This reporting quarter, the Podolsky Mine shipped 64,000 tons (see Table 2) of
footwall ore with an average copper grade of 4.5%, compared to 55,000 tons at an
average grade of 5.4% copper in the same period last year. Year to date shipped
production from Podolsky totaled 156,000 tons at an average copper grade of
5.6%, compared to 79,000 tons grading 7.3% copper in the six months to June 30,
2008. These production numbers refer only to shipped ore and exclude ore in
stockpile reported as inventory.


Production during the second quarter from the Levack Complex (see Table 3)
consisted of footwall ore from the PM Deposit, limited contact nickel ore from
the Inter Main and transitional nickel-copper ore from the up-dip extension of
the LFD. Total ore shipped from the Levack Complex in this quarter was 128,000
tons producing 1.2 million pounds of payable nickel, 2.4 million pounds of
payable copper and 8,781 ounces of TPM, compared to 298,000 tons yielding 3.1
million pounds of payable nickel, 2.4 million pounds of payable copper and 6,233
ounces of TPM shipped in the same period of 2008. Year to date the Levack
Complex shipped 141,000 tons, compared to 559,000 tons in the first half of
2008. Ore stockpiled and unshipped since the end of May is excluded from these
totals and included in the inventories.


The second quarter safety performance for the Sudbury Mining Operations included
one Lost Time Injury and five Medical Aid Injuries, compared to three Lost Time
Injuries in the 2008 second quarter. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate for
Sudbury was 0.9 and the Total Medical Injury Frequency Rate was 5.2, compared to
1.1 and 8.9, respectively in 2008.


There were no reported environmental incidents in this reporting quarter and
year to date.


Development

The primary development focus for the Company continues to be advancing the LFD
toward commercial production start up in 2010. The advance of the access decline
ramp to the LFD remains on schedule. During the second quarter, the ramp face
advanced 190 vertical feet to the 3500 Level. Three ore accesses were
established at the 3390, 3450 and 3510 Levels and an access heading to the fresh
air raise commenced. Extension of a ventilation and secondary egress raise was
completed to the 3220 Level during this quarter. Three underground diamond drill
rigs were active all through second quarter supporting optimal access ramp
planning and targeting sub-level access locations. All three drills will remain
active during the third quarter.


Reconditioning of the Levack #2 Shaft below the 2900 Level continued to progress
during the second quarter, limited by water inflow management. Shaft
reconditioning progressed by 175 vertical ft and should reach the target depth
at the 3600 Level in the third quarter of 2009. The current timeline for the
utilization of the 3600 Level to further develop the LFD remains the fourth
quarter of 2009. 


Focused narrow vein mining in the up-dip extension of the LFD continued in the
second quarter. Several level accesses will be driven into ore during the third
quarter in preparation for removal of pre-production LFD development ore late in
2009. Other development work at the Levack Complex during the second quarter
included 1,234 ft of drifting on the PM Deposit at the McCreedy West Mine.


Development at the Podolsky Mine during this reporting quarter focused on
advancing the main access ramp and related lateral development. Total
advancement for the quarter was 1,543 ft, including lateral work on the 2300 and
2375 Levels plus access ramp development up to the 2225 Level. The main access
ramp will be completely connected internally later in 2009 to support ongoing
stope access. Other development at the Podolsky site included work on the
backfill plant and system and work on the new exhaust ventilation raise.


Total capital expenditures for the second quarter were $14.7 million, including
$8.5 million for LFD development, $3.4 million at Podolsky and $1.8 million at
the Levack Complex. Total capital expenditures for 2009 to the end of June were
$27.8 million, compared to $98.4 million to the end of June, 2008.


Exploration

FNX completed a $15.0 million flow-through financing during the second quarter
to be used to explore the Company's non-producing properties in Sudbury. This
flow-through financing will allow FNX's exploration team to dramatically
increase its exploration activity for the balance of 2009 and 2010 without
impacting the Company's cash position.


A preliminary flow-through budget of $6.2 million is planned for 2009 and
flow-through exploration programs began in June. The focus for 2009 flow-through
exploration will be drilling and geophysical programs at Victoria, the
Falconbridge Footwall, Kirkwood, Nickel Lake and Foy Offset.


Total exploration expenditures on all projects in Sudbury during second quarter
were $0.8 million, bringing the total year to date to $0.9 million. During the
second quarter, the focus remained on detailed drilling on the LFD from drill
platforms established from the 2650 access ramp. Three underground drill rigs
continued to test the up-dip extension of the LFD at the 3400, 3450 and 3500
Levels in order to support lateral development planning and to provide data for
resource estimates later in 2009 on the up-dip extension of the LFD. During
second quarter, 50 holes were drilled on the up-dip extension of the LFD for a
total of 25,935 ft. This brings the 2009 year to date total drilling on the
up-dip extension of the LFD to 39,547 ft in 68 holes.


On underground drill rig continued to operate in the McCreedy West PM Deposit in
support of production. In the second quarter at the PM Deposit, 67 holes were
drilled for a total footage of 12,385 ft. This brings the total footage drilled
on the PM Deposit year to date to 38,166 ft in 209 holes.


DMC Mining Services

Revenues from DMC totaled $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009
and $25.1 million for the first six months of 2009, compared to $37.0 million
and $86.4 million, respectively in 2008. Contract costs for the second quarter
were $11.3 million and depreciation and amortization expenses totaled $1.1
million.


Cash operating margin, calculated as the operating revenues of DMC less
operating costs and excluding depreciation and amortization, was $0.4 million
during this quarter, compared to $1.8 million in the same period of 2008. For
the six months ended June 30, 2009 the cash operating margin was $0.6 million,
compared to $4.2 million in the same period of 2008.


Overall DMC incurred losses of $1.3 million and $2.2 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009 respectively, compared to losses of $1.6 million
and $2.3 million respectively for the comparable periods in 2008.


Operating cash flow for the second quarter and first half of 2009 was $7.5
million and $3.4 million respectively in 2009. As at June 30, 2009, DMC had a
cash balance of $12.5 million compared to $9.4 million December 31, 2008 and
$6.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2009.


The overall climate for the mining contracting business in the US remains
positive, while the Canadian segment has shown slightly increased levels of
activity, but remains very competitive. At the end of the second quarter, DMC
had a work backlog of approximately $36.9 million with $25.6 million of that
scheduled for completion in 2009. DMC continues to pursue new clients and
contracts to replace expiring contracts. DMC re-structured the organization late
in 2008 to ensure the operating costs were appropriate to the volume of business
forecast for 2009.


These changes have been effective in containing costs and should allow DMC to
break even on a cash flow basis in 2009, based on our current work backlog.


Investments 

FNX accounts for its investment in GLW using the equity method and is,
therefore, required to include in earnings FNX's share of GLW's earnings or loss
for the period and the Company's investment therein is adjusted by an equivalent
amount. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, FNX's 26% share of the earnings of
its equity investee, GLW, was $nil, compared to a loss of $0.2 million in the
first quarter of 2009.


The note receivable from GLW for $50 million was renegotiated on December 8,
2008 and the due date of the note was extended to July 16, 2010. Due to the
nature of the renegotiated note receivable, both a call and put option exist on
the derivative, which must be fair valued at each balance sheet date with any
changes thereto charged or credited to earnings. As a result of the above, the
carrying value of the note receivable at June 30, 2009 was $38.8 million, a
difference of $3.0 million from the end of the first quarter.


As at June 30, 2009, the market value of FNX's 360 million GLW shares was
approximately $97.2 million, while the market value of the entire investment
portfolio was approximately $105.5 million. 


Share Capital

During the second quarter, share capital increased to 87,063,190 common shares
issued and outstanding as a result of the exercise of 12,500 options and the
issuance of 2,173,914 flow-through shares in April. Year to date 2009, share
capital has increased by $14.5 million as a result of the 12,500 stock option
exercise and the issuance of flow-through shares. As of June 30, 2009 stock
options to purchase 3,654,833 million Common shares at a weighted average
exercise price of $13.65 were outstanding. Including 320,146 outstanding
deferred share units, the fully diluted share total was 90,718,023 as at June
30, 2009.
