Depressed molybdenum ("moly") market prices and uncertain capital market for the
mining industry continue. The average moly market price was US$10.32 per pound
in 2013. This price was 19% lower compared to 2012 (US$12.74). Despite this
price drop, NMC Resource's revenue ($9,089,553) decreased by only 5% from 2012
because the Company sold more pounds of moly. 943,630 lbs of moly were sold in
2013, a 14% rise from 2012 (830,266 lbs Mo). 


NMC Resource achieved the goal of improving production profile while reducing
operating costs. 813 tonnes (904 wet tonnes) of moly concentrates were produced
in 2013, a 10% improvement from 2012 while maintaining mine operating expenses
almost at the same level (0.6% reduction). The Company's diligence on
cost-cutting on non-strategic expenses improved the net cash provided by
operating activities by 175% to 7.5 cents per common share compared to 2.7 cents
in 2012. Total mine operating costs (based on the currency of Korean won)
including investing activities at NMC Moland Mine ("Moland") reduced by 9.3%
from 2012 (KRW8,828,139,233) to 2013 (KRW8,006,334,715), and by 6.3% from 2011
(KRW9,425,395,221) to 2012. Despite these achievements, due to non-cash expenses
such as depreciation and amortization ($3,377,189), impairment of mining assets
($2,441,745)(ii), and income tax expenses ($2,215,572: deferred tax
reduction)(iii), the net loss for 2013 was widened to $6,990,260, $0.25 per
common share. 


With the expectation of increasing profit margin, NMC Resource made progress in
2013 on developing lubricant-grade moly concentrates. The Company was awarded a
shared research grant in the amount of KRW1,350,000,000 (approximately
$1,406,500 at the FX rate of April 3rd, 2014) to be allocated over a three-year
period. This grant was given to the Company and the Korea Institute of
Geoscience from the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation & Planning
to develop lubricant grade moly concentrates at Moland. 


On Boss Mountain, NMC Resource will work to make prudent allocations of capital.
The Company compiled old data of Boss Mountain (mostly from Noranda Mines Ltd.),
and built a block model internally. Also, KORES, a state-owned mining company of
South Korea implemented a project assessment of Boss Mountain for future
collaborative work. The Company intends to implement a 3,000-metre drill program
in 2014 or 2015. 


NMC Resource will consider strategic opportunities to improve shareholder value.

(i) Adjusted EBITDA: Net earnings before interest, taxes, amortization,
share-based payment and impairment loss


(ii) This write down is required under International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS") when the recoverability of the book value of an asset is in
question. The falling price of molybdenum has made it uncertain that all of the
mine assets will be recovered. However, once the price of molybdenum rises, and
the future price justifies the carrying value of the mine assets, the impairment
charge for 2013 can be reversed.


(iii) As stated above, the price of molybdenum decreased substantially in 2013.
Under IFRS and as a result of the lower mineral price, the value of the income
tax losses carried forward is also in question. As a result, the loss
carryforwards, which had reported as an asset in prior years, have been written
off in the current year. However, if the price of molybdenum rises to historical
levels, then the value of the income tax losses realized in previous years can
again be recognized as an asset. The write-off of the value of the loss
carryforwards in the year only affected the company's deferred income tax
assets, the write-off had no effect on the company's current taxes payable or
the amount of tax losses available to be carried forward to future years.

and results. Forward-Looking Statements are based on the current opinions and
expectations of management. All Forward-Looking Statements are inherently
uncertain and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including the
speculative nature of mineral exploration and development generally and
specifically in respect of the interpretation of the geology, continuity, grade
and size of mineral deposits, unanticipated operational or technical
difficulties, fluctuating commodity prices, competitive risks and the
availability of financing, changes in laws or regulations, changes in the

Forward-Looking Statements are based on a number of assumptions, including but

availability of financing, the accuracy of reserve and resource estimates and
the assumptions on which those estimates are based and the ability to achieve
and maintain certain operational efficiencies. Should one or more risks and
uncertainties materialize or should any assumptions prove incorrect, then actual
events or results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the
