Atalaya Mining Plc.
("Atalaya" and/or the "Group")
Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended 31 March 2018
Atalaya Mining Plc (AIM: ATYM; TSX: AYM) is pleased to announce its unaudited quarterly results for the three months ended 31 March 2018, together with the unaudited, condensed, interim consolidated financial statements.
Operational Highlights
Proyecto Riotinto
-- Copper production during the three months ended 31 March 2018 ("Q1 2018") was 9,441 tonnes, an increase of 7.2% compared with 8,805 tonnes produced during the three months ended 31 March 2017 ("Q1 2017").
-- Ore processed during Q1 2018 was 2,206,861 tonnes in line with Q1 2017 when ore processed was 2,196,299 tonnes.
-- Copper recovery during the quarter was 88.47% significantly above Q1 2017 which was 84.63%.
-- The Company maintains its previously stated copper production guidance for 2018 of 37,000 - 40,000 tonnes.
Expansion to 15Mtpa at Proyecto Riotinto
-- The expansion project to 15Mtpa is moving ahead according to schedule. Overall progress completion is 27% with procurement reporting 26% and engineering 60% completed. Civil engineering works at the new concentrate handling area are well advanced and earthworks at the flotation area are progressing according to internal expectations. The milling area is the critical path to completion.
-- The expansion project is scheduled for mechanical completion for Q2 2019.
Proyecto Touro
-- Key highlights of the pre-feasibility study completed in April 2018 for a proposed open pit copper mine and concentrator:
o Average yearly production of 30,000 tonnes of copper and 70,000 ounces of silver in concentrate.
o NPV post-tax at 8% discount rate of $180 million using long term copper price of US3.00/lb.
o Estimated average C1 cash cost of US$1.73/lb of payable Cu and AISC of US$1.85/lb of payable Cu net of silver credits.
o Pre-production capital expenditure of US$165 million with an additional expansion capital estimate of US$30 million in year eight.
o LOM sustaining capital expenditure of US$55 million.
o 2 years of development and 12 years of operation, with very clean high-grade copper concentrates.
Financial Highlights
-- Revenues of EUR52.7 million for Q1 2018 compared with EUR25.6 million in Q1 2017.
-- Cash costs during Q1 2018 were $2.27/lb of payable copper, a decrease from cash costs of $2.35/lb of payable copper in Q4 2017 but higher than Q1 2017 ($1.64/lb). The decrease was mainly to the result of lower processing costs and higher volume of copper concentrate sold. All-in sustaining costs ("AISC") during Q1 2018 amounted to $2.65/lb of payable copper, a decrease from $2.94/lb of payable copper during Q4 2017 but higher than Q1 2017 ($2.01/lb).
-- Management expects cash costs for the year to remain within the guidance range provided of $2.15/lb to $2.30/lb and AISC from $2.50/lb to $2.60/lb.
Financial Highlights (continued)
-- Positive Earnings Before Interest, Taxation, Depreciation and Amortisation ("EBITDA") of EUR15.0 million in Q1 2018 compared with EUR12.6 million in Q1 2017. The increase in EBITDA was mainly a result of the increase in the volume of copper concentrate sold and higher realised copper prices, partly offset by higher operating costs.
-- Q1 2018 profit after tax amounted to EUR8.8 million (or 6.5 cents per share on a fully diluted basis) compared with a profit for Q1 2017 of EUR5.7 million (or 4.8 cents per share on a fully diluted basis).
-- Inventories of concentrate at 31 March 2018 amounted to EUR0.7 million (EUR4.8 million at 31 December 2017).
-- Working capital surplus has positively increased over the quarter as a result of cash generated from operations. At the end of Q1 2018 working capital was EUR26.8 million, a EUR4.7 million increase from EUR22.1 million at the end of Q4 2017. Unrestricted cash balances as at 31 March 2018 amounted to EUR52.3 million.
-- Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was EUR15.2 million for Q1 2018 compared with a cash flow of EUR12.3 million during Q1 2017.
-- Net cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital was EUR18.4 million for Q1 2018 compared with a cash flow of EUR14.3 million during Q1 2017.
Corporate Highlights
-- As previously announced, on 13 February 2018, Atalaya agreed to issue 192,540 new ordinary shares to satisfy the first two instalments of the Rumbo royalty. On 5 April 2018, it agreed to issue a further 1,600,907 new ordinary shares to purchase the remaining royalty. There are now no ongoing obligations in relation to the Rumbo royalty.
-- On 9 and 10 May 2018, the appeal hearing for the Astor case took place in the Court of Appeal in London. The Company expects the ruling to be issued in the coming months.
Alberto Lavandeira, CEO commented:
"This quarter's financial results continue to reflect the steady improvement in performance of the Riotinto plant. This gives us confidence that the expansion project, which is well advanced, together with Proyecto Touro, will provide Atalaya with the growth it needs to establish itself as a mid-tier copper producer in Europe."

Three months operational review
Copper production at Proyecto Riotinto for Q1 2018 has increased to 9,441 tonnes from 8,805 tonnes reported in Q1 2017, and 8,622 tonnes in Q4 2017, representing an increase of 7.1% and 9.5%, respectively. This is Atalaya's second highest quarterly production on record. Ore milled was consistent with previous quarters and in line with management's expectations. Copper head grade reported an improvement versus Q4 2017, in line with expectations. The increase in copper production during the quarter is mainly attributable to a record average recovery of 88.47%.
Mining operations are running at similar levels to previous quarters. On a combined basis, ore, waste and marginal ore amounted to 3.0Mm(3) in Q1 2018 versus 3.1Mm(3) in Q4 2017. During the first three weeks of March 460 litres/m(2) of rainfall were registered, which for such a short period of time was significant in the region. The open pit lower benches were partially affected by this heavy rainfall. Mining operations were rescheduled and mine planning was adjusted with no impact on production. Improvements to the processing plant reported not only higher copper recovery but also better utilisation rates.
The Company's continuous improvements programme reported the installation of an additional secondary cone crusher with completion estimated during Q2 2018. Modifications to current screening and crushing arrangements are under evaluation as part of a de-bottlenecking exercise. Structural steel fabrication of the dome to cover the coarse ore stockpile is well advanced, with construction scheduled to commence in Q2 2018. Completion of the dome is estimated by mid Q3 2018.
Dewatering of the Atalaya pit is ongoing as previously reported. Dewatering of Cerro Colorado has been restarted after the heavy rainfall in March and was completed at the end of April 2018.
During Q1 2018, the Group sold 48,682 tonnes of concentrates, compared with 39,925 tonnes in Q4 2017 and 22,103 tonnes in Q1 2017. On-site concentrate inventories at the end of the quarter were approximately 1,121 tonnes. All concentrate in stock at the beginning of the quarter and produced during the quarter was delivered to the port at Huelva.
Exploration has successfully performed a validation process of the Cerro Colorado drill hole database. The database incorporates all exploration drilling completed since April 2016. An updated resources and reserves estimate is well advanced and is expected to be released before the end of Q2 2018. Results of the VTEM survey have been received, with targets prioritised for drilling in the coming months.
The archaeological exploration programme under way in a section of the northern wall of Cerro Colorado pit remains on schedule, and is expected to last for the duration of 2018.
2. Overview of operational results (continued)
Expansion to 15Mtpa at Proyecto Riotinto
The expansion project to 15Mtpa is progressing according to schedule. Overall progress completion is 27% with procurement reporting 26% and engineering 60% completed. Civil engineering works at the new concentrate handling area are well advanced while earthworks at the flotation area are progressing according to internal expectations. The milling area is the critical path to completion.
The expansion project is scheduled for mechanical completion at the end of Q2 2019.

(*) Refer to Note 2.1. (c)
Three months financial review
Revenues for the three month period ended 31 March 2018 amounted to EUR52.7 million (Q1 2017: EUR25.6 million). Higher revenues, compared with the same quarter in the previous year, were mainly driven by higher volumes of concentrate sold and an increase in copper prices.
Realised prices of $3.03/lb copper during Q1 2018 compared with $2.48/lb copper in Q1 2017. All concentrates were sold under offtake agreements in place. The Group did not enter into any hedging agreements in Q1 2018.
Operating costs for the three month period ended 31 March 2018 amounted to EUR36.4 million, compared with EUR11.5 million in Q1 2017. The increase was mainly due to higher mining and processing variable costs directly attributable to the higher volume of concentrates sold in the period in addition to significantly lower capitalised stripping costs.
Cash costs of $2.27/lb payable copper during Q1 2018 compared with $1.64/lb payable copper in the same period last year. Cash costs were impacted by higher mining and maintenance costs due to a higher copper production in the period and lower capitalised stripping costs compared with Q1 2017. Capitalised stripping costs during Q1 2018 amounted to EUR0.3 million compared with EUR3.8 million in Q1 2017. All-in sustaining costs in the reporting quarter were $2.65/lb payable copper compared with $2.01/lb payable copper in Q1 2017. The increase in AISC compared with Q1 2018 mainly related to higher cash costs.
Sustaining capex for Q1 2018 amounted to EUR2.7 million compared with EUR0.6 million in Q1 2017. Sustaining capex related to continuous development programmes at the tailings storage facilities, optimisation of the flotation circuit and other processing systems.
Corporate expenses amounted to EUR1.1 million (Q1 2017: EUR1.4 million) and include non-operating costs of the Cyprus office, corporate legal and consultancy costs, on-going listing costs, officers and directors' emoluments, and salaries and related costs of the corporate office.
Exploration costs at Proyecto Riotinto for the three month period ended 31 March 2018 amounted to EUR0.2 million compared with EUR0.1 million in Q1 2017. All exploration costs at Proyecto Touro are capitalised.
EBITDA for the three months ended 31 March 2018 amounted to EUR15.0 million as compared to Q1 2017 of EUR12.6 million.
The main item below the EBITDA line is depreciation and amortisation of EUR4.1 million (Q1 2017: EUR4.5 million). Net financing costs for Q1 2018 amounted to EUR7k compared with EUR249k in Q1 2017.
Realised copper prices
The average prices of copper for the three months ended 31 March 2018 and 2017 are summarised below:
Three months ended Three months ended 31 Mar 2018 31 Mar 2017 (USD) Realised copper price per lb 3.03 2.48 Market copper price per lb (period average) 3.16 2.64
Realised copper prices for the reporting period noted above have been calculated using payable copper and including provisional invoices and final settlements of quotation periods ("QPs") together. Lower realised prices than market averages are mainly due to the final settlement of invoices where QP was fixed in the previous quarter due to a short open period when copper prices were lower. The realised price of shipments during the quarter excluding QP was approximately $3.12/lb.
The Group had no hedges during the three month period ended 31 March 2018.
5. Non-GAAP Measures
Atalaya has included certain non-IFRS measures including "EBITDA", "Cash Cost per pound of payable copper", "All In Sustaining Costs" ("AISC") and "realised prices" in this report. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardised meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for indicators prepared in accordance with IFRS.
EBITDA includes gross sales net of penalties and discounts and all operating costs, excluding finance, tax, impairment, depreciation and amortisation expenses.
Cash Cost per pound of payable copper includes cash operating costs, including treatment and refining charges ("TC/RC"), freight and distribution costs net of by-product credits. Cash Cost per pound of payable copper is consistent with the widely accepted industry standard established by Wood Mackenzie and is also known as the C1 cash cost.
AISC per pound of payable copper includes C1 Cash Costs plus royalties and agency fees, expenditures on rehabilitation, capitalised stripping costs, exploration and geology costs, corporate costs and sustaining capital expenditures.
During the final quarter of 2017, Atalaya carried out an exhaustive analysis of the methodology applied to the C1 cash cost and AISC. As a result of the analysis, management changed the methodology used when calculating C1 and AISC in the first three quarters of 2017. A full reconciliation including Q1 2017 is included in section iii of the performance review in 2017 Annual Report.
Realised price per pound of payable copper is the value of the copper payable included in the concentrate produced before deducting the penalties, discounts, credits and other features governed by the offtake agreements of the Group and all discounts or premiums provided in commodity hedge agreements with financial institutions, expressed in USD per pound of payable copper. Realised price is consistent with the widely accepted industry standard definition.
6. Liquidity and capital resources
Atalaya monitors factors that could impact its liquidity as part of Atalaya's overall capital management strategy. Factors that are monitored include, but are not limited to, the market price of copper, foreign currency rates, production levels, operating costs, capital and administrative costs.
The following is a summary of Atalaya's cash position and cash flows as at 31 March 2018 and 31 December 2017.
Liquidity information
31 March 2018 31 December 2017 (Euro 000's) Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents 52,290 42,606 Restricted cash 250 250 Working capital surplus 26,827 22,137
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as at 31 March 2018 increased to EUR52.3 million from EUR42.6 million at 31 December 2017. The increase in cash balances is the result of net cash flow incurred in the period. Cash balances are unrestricted and include balances at operational and corporate level, including the proceeds of the capital raise in Q4 2017.
Restricted cash remains at EUR0.3 million as at 31 March 2018 and mainly relates to deposit bond guarantees.
6. Liquidity and capital resources (continued)
As of 31 March 2018, Atalaya reported a working capital surplus of EUR26.8 million, compared with a working capital surplus of EUR22.1 million at 31 December 2017. The surplus results from the equity raised in Q4 2017. The main liability of the working capital is trade payables. The principal trade payable account relates to the main contractor where the Group has reached certain agreements to reduce the amount due progressively during 2018.
In June 2017, the Group completed repayment of EUR16.9 million to the Social Security's General Treasury in Spain. The debt liability was incurred by the former owners of the assets. Repayment was completed according to the agreed repayment schedule.
In 2016, the Group entered into a US$14 million copper concentrate prepayment agreement with Transamine Trading, S.A. an independent and privately owned commodity trader company based in Geneva. The duration of the prepayment was from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018 with terms at market conditions and the settlement was agreed to be paid through deductions form payments received for each shipment. On 15 September 2017, the Group fully settled the prepayment ahead of schedule. During December 2017, the Group decided not to extend the contract on the same terms during 2018 as permitted under the original agreement.
Overview of the Group's cash flows
Three months ended Three months ended 31 Mar 2018 31 Mar 2017 (Euro 000's) Cash flows from operating activities 18,377 14,275 Cash flows used in investing activities (8,741) (5,399) Cash flows from financing activities 48 - ------------------- ------------------- Net increase in cash and cash equivalents 9,684 8,876 =================== ===================
Three months cash flows review
Cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR9.7 million during the three months ended 31 March 2018. This was due to the net results of cash from operating activities amounting to EUR18.4 million, cash used in investing activities amounting to EUR8.7 million and cash from financing activities amounting to EUR0.1 million.
Cash generated from operating activities before working capital changes was EUR15.2 million. Atalaya increased its trade receivables in the period by EUR1.0 million, decreased its inventory levels by EUR4.1 million and increased its trade payables by EUR0.1 million.
Investing activities during the quarter consumed EUR8.7 million, relating mainly to the expansion project Capex and sustaining capex for the tailings deposits perimetric channel.
Foreign exchange
Foreign exchange rate movements can have a significant effect on Atalaya's operations, financial position and results. Atalaya's sales are denominated in U.S. dollars ("USD"), while Atalaya's operating expenses, income taxes and other expenses are mainly denominated in Euros ("EUR"), and to a much lesser extent in British Pounds ("GBP").
Accordingly, fluctuations in the exchange rates can potentially impact the results of operations and carrying value of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.
During the three months ended 31 March 2018, Atalaya recognised a foreign exchange profit of EUR0.2 million. Foreign exchange losses mainly related to change in the period end EUR and USD conversion rates, as all sales are cashed and occasionally held in USD.
The following table summarises the movement in key currencies versus the EUR:
Three months ended Three months ended 31 Mar 2018 31 Mar 2017 Average rates for the periods GBP - EUR 0.8833 0.8607 USD - EUR 1.2292 1.0655 Spot rates as at GBP - EUR 0.8749 0.8620 USD - EUR 1.2321 1.0736
In February 2017, the Group entered into certain foreign exchange hedging contracts to offset the agreements in force as at 31 December 2016. During Q1 2018, Atalaya did not have any currency hedging agreements.
Further information on the hedging agreements is disclosed in the unaudited, condensed interim consolidated financial statements that follow (Note 15).
7. Rumbo royalty and deferred consideration
Rumbo royalty
In July 2012, Atalaya Riotinto Minera, S.L. signed a royalty agreement with Rumbo 5 Cero, S.L. ("Rumbo"), at which Rumbo was entitled to receive a royalty payment of up to US $250,000 per quarter if the average copper sales price or LME price for the period is equal or upper $2.60/lb for ten years up to a maximum amount of US$10,000,000. As the average copper price for the third and fourth quarters of 2017 were above $2.60/lb, the company needed to pay a royalty amounting to $500,000 to Rumbo. On 8 February 2018, the companies agreed to satisfy this payment through an issuance of 192,540 new ordinary shares at GB GBP7.5p.
On 5 April 2018, the Company signed with Rumbo a contract to purchase the remaining royalty agreement for a total consideration of US$4,750,000 to be paid through the issuance of 1,600,907 new ordinary shares of GB GBP7.5p.
Deferred consideration - Astor case
On 6 March 2017, judgment in the case (the "Astor Case") brought by Astor Management AG ("Astor") was handed down in the High Court of Justice in London (the "Judgment"). On 31 March 2017, declarations were made by the High Court which gave effect to the Judgment.
In summary, the High Court found that the deferred consideration of EUR43.8 million (the "Deferred Consideration"), potentially payable to Astor under the master agreement entered into in 2008 between inter alia the Company and Astor (the "Master Agreement"), did not start to become payable when permit approval was granted for Proyecto Riotinto. In addition, the intra-group loans by which funding for the restart of mining operations was made available to the Company's subsidiary, Atalaya Riotinto Minera S.L. did not constitute a "Senior Debt Facility" so as to trigger payment of the Deferred Consideration. Accordingly, the first instalment of the Deferred Consideration has not fallen due.
Astor failed to show that there had been a breach of the all reasonable endeavours obligation contained in the Master Agreement to obtain a senior debt facility or that the Group had acted in bad faith in not obtaining a senior debt facility. While the Court confirmed that the Group was not in breach of any of its obligations, the Master Agreement and its provisions remain in place. Accordingly, other than up to US$10 million a year which may be required for non-Proyecto Riotinto related expenses, Atalaya Riotinto Minera S.L. cannot make any dividend, distribution or any repayment of the money lent to it by companies in the Group until the consideration under the Master Agreement (including the Deferred Consideration) has been paid in full.
As a consequence, the Judgment requires that, in accordance with the Master Agreement, Atalaya Riotinto Minera S.L. must apply any excess cash (after payment of operating expenses, sustaining capital expenditure, any senior debt service requirements and up to US$10 million (for non-Proyecto Riotinto related expenses)) to pay the consideration due to Astor (including the Deferred Consideration and the amount of EUR9.1 million payable under the loan assignment agreement between the parties) early. The Court confirmed that the obligation to pay consideration early out of excess cash does not apply to the up-tick payments of up to EUR15.9 million (the "Up-tick Payments") and the Judgment notes that the only situation in which the Up-tick Payments could ever become payable is in the unlikely event that mining operations stop at Proyecto Riotinto and a senior debt facility is then secured for a sum sufficient to restart mining operations. Accordingly, the Group has recorded the liability of EUR53 million.
On 25 April 2017, Atalaya and Astor applied for permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal. On 11 August 2017, the Court of Appeal granted permission to both parties to appeal (although it rejected three of Astor's seven grounds). The Appeal has taken place on 9 and 10 May 2018 and the Group expects the ruling to be issued in the coming months.
More details on the Astor Case are included in Note 14 of the unaudited, condensed, interim, consolidated financial statements that follow.
8. Risk factors

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
(All amounts in Euro thousands unless otherwise stated)
For the three months to 31 March 2018 and 2017 - (Unaudited)
1. Incorporation and summary of business
Country of incorporation
Atalaya Mining Plc (the "Company") was incorporated in Cyprus on 17 September 2004 as a private company with limited liability under the Companies Law, Cap. 113 and was converted to a public limited liability company on 26 January 2005. Its registered office is at 1 Lampousa Street, Nicosia, Cyprus.
The Company was listed on AIM of the London Stock Exchange in May 2005 under the symbol ATYM and on the TSX on 20 December 2010 under the symbol AYM. The Company continued to be listed on AIM and the TSX as at 31 March 2018.
Additional information about Atalaya Mining Plc is available at www.atalayamining.com as per requirement of AIM rule 26.
Change of name and share consolidation
Following the Company's Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") on 13 October 2015, the change of name from EMED Mining Public Limited to Atalaya Mining Plc became effective on 21 October 2015. On the same day, the consolidation of ordinary shares came into effect, whereby all shareholders received one new ordinary share of nominal value Stg GBP0.075 for every 30 existing ordinary shares of nominal value Stg GBP0.0025.
Summary of business
The Company owns and operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Proyecto Riotinto, an open-pit copper mine located in the Pyritic belt, in the Andalusia region of Spain, approximately 65 km northwest of Seville. A brownfield expansion of this mine is in progress.
In addition, the Company has a phased earn-in agreement for up to 80% ownership of Proyecto Touro, a brownfield copper project in northwest Spain, which is currently at the permitting stage.
The Company's and its subsidiaries' business is to explore for and develop metals production operations in Europe, with an initial focus on copper.
The strategy is to evaluate and prioritise metal production opportunities in several jurisdictions throughout the well-known belts of base and precious metal mineralisation in Spain and the Eastern European region.
2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
(a) Overview
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS comprise the standard issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB"), and IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRICs") as issued by the IASB. Additionally, the consolidated financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the European Union (EU), using the historical cost convention.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings. They have been prepared using accounting bases and policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2017. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements, and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other information set out in the Company's 31 December 2017 Annual Report. The accounting policies are unchanged from those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements.
The Directors have formed a judgment at the time of approving the financial statements that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate available resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued) (b) Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes that the Group will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Management has carried out an assessment of the going concern assumption and has concluded that the Group's will generate sufficient cash and cash equivalents to continue operating for the next twelve months.
(c) 2016 Restatement
Deferred consideration (Note 14)
At the end of 2017 the discount rate used to value the liability for the deferred consideration was re-assessed to apply a risk free rate as required by IAS 37. The discounted amount, when applying this discount rate, was not considered significant and the Group has measured the liability for the deferred consideration on an undiscounted basis. The value of the liability is in line with the court ruling issued on 6 March 2017. Full details of the restatement to 2016 full year comparatives are set out in the audited, consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 available from the Atalaya website at www.atalayamining.com.
The Q1 2017 comparatives have been restated in line with this re-assessment as follows:
31 March 2017 The Group -------------------------------------- Q1 2017 Q1 2017 (Euro 000's) as reported Adjustments restated Income statement Mine site depreciation and amortization (4,392) (121)((1) (4,513) Gross margin 9,758 9,637 Operating profit 8,204 8,083 Finance costs (833) 584((1) (249) Profit before tax 7,101 7,564 Tax charge (1,858) (9)(1) (1,867) Basic earnings per share 4.5 4.9 Fully diluted earnings per share 4.4 4.8 ---------------------------------------- ------------ ------------- ---------
(1) The discount rate was re-assessed considering a risk free rate for the relevant periods as required by IAS 37. Discounting the provision using the risk free rate would not result in a significant impact to the financial statements and the Group has measured the liability on an undiscounted basis. The amount of the provision is in line with the court ruling. Finance costs have been revised to exclude the unwinding of discount and amortisation charge revised based on the restated carrying amount of Intangible assets
2.2 Fair value estimation
The fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts at the reporting date.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as publicly traded trading and available--for--sale financial assets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. The appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Company uses a variety of methods, such as estimated discounted cash flows, and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the reporting date.
Fair value measurements recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position
2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
-- Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-- Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-- Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

2.3 Use and revision of accounting estimates
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires the making of estimations and assumptions that affect the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
2.4 Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
The Group has adopted all the new and revised IFRSs and International Accounting Standards (IASs) which are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods commencing on 1 January 2018. The adoption of these Standards did not have a material effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
-- IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Clarifications to IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. New standard for recognising revenue (replaces IAS 11, IAS 18, IFRIC 13, IFRIC 15, IFRIC 18 and SIC 31). The Company has adopted IFRS 15 as of January 1, 2018.
-- IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments. This standard replaces the classification, measurement, recognition and derecognition in accounts of financial assets and liabilities, hedge accounting, and impairment set out in IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Company has adopted IFRS 9 as of January 1, 2018.
-- IFRS 16 - Leases. The new standard on leases that replaces IAS 17, IFRIC 4, SIC-15 and SIC-27. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 at or before the date of initial application of IFRS 16. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-of-use asset representing it right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payment. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard - i.e. lessor continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases. The Company will adopt IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019.
2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts at the reporting date. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are unchanged from those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
3. Business and geographical segments
Business segments
The Group has only one distinct business segment, being that of mining operations, mineral exploration and development. Copper concentrates produced by the Group are sold to three offtakers as per the relevant offtake agreement (Note 17.3)
Geographical segments
The Group's mining activities are located in Spain. The commercialisation of the copper concentrates produced in Spain is carried out in Cyprus. Corporate costs and administration costs are based in Cyprus. Intercompany transactions within the Group are on arm's length basis in a manner similar to transaction with third parties.

The useful life of the intangible assets is estimated to be not less than fourteen years from the start of production (the revised Reserves and Resources statement which was announced in July 2016 has increased the life of mine to 16 1/2 years).
The ultimate recovery of balances carried forward in relation to areas of interest or all such assets including intangibles is dependent on successful development, and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale of the respective areas.
The Group conducts impairment testing on an annual basis unless indicators of impairment are not present at the reporting date. In considering the carrying value of the assets at Proyecto Riotinto, including the intangible assets and any impairment thereof, the Group assessed that no indicators were present as at 31 December 2017 and thus no impairment has been recognised.
Goodwill of EUR9,333,000 arose on the acquisition of the remaining 49% of the issued share capital of Atalaya Riotinto Minera S.L.U. ("ARM") back in September 2008. This amount was fully impaired on acquisition, in the absence of the mining license back in 2008.
Permits include additions in 2017 amounting to EUR5,000,000 related to the Touro Project mining rights.

Rehabilitation provision
Rehabilitation provision represents the accrued cost required to provide adequate restoration and rehabilitation upon the completion of production activities. These amounts will be settled when rehabilitation is undertaken, generally over the project's life.
The discount rate used in the calculation of the net present value of the provision as at 31 March 2018 was 1.87%, which is the 15-year Spain Government Bond rate (31 December 2017: 1.87%, which is the 15-year Spain Government Bond rate). An inflation rate of 1.5% is applied on annual basis.
Legal provision
The Group has been named a defendant in several legal actions in Spain, the outcome of which is not determinable as at 31 March 2018. Management has reviewed individually each case and made a provision of EUR193 thousand for these claims, which has been reflected in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
14. Deferred consideration
In September 2008, the Group moved to 100% ownership of Atalaya Riotinto Minera, S.L. ("ARM") (and thus full ownership of Proyecto Riotinto) by acquiring the remaining 49% of the issued capital of ARM. At the time of the acquisition, the Group signed a Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement") which included deferred consideration of EUR43.8 million (the "Deferred Consideration") and potential up-tick payments of up to EUR15.9 million depending on the price of copper (the "Up-tick Payment"), in consideration of (a) all parties accepting the legal structure of ARM (formerly Emed Tartessus); (b) the validity of various agreements entered into prior to the Master Agreement; and (c) the provision of indemnities by Astor and its agreement not to pursue litigation.
The obligation to pay the Deferred Consideration and the Up-tick Payments is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions (the "Conditions"): (a) all authorisations to restart mining activities in Proyecto Riotinto having been granted by the Junta de Andalucía ("Permit Approval"); and (b) the Group securing a senior debt finance facility for a sum sufficient to restart mining operations at Proyecto Riotinto ("Senior Debt Facility") and being able to draw down funds under the Senior Debt Facility. At the time of acquisition, the possible outcome for the obligation to pay the deferred consideration could not be determined.
Subject to satisfaction of the Conditions, the Deferred Consideration and the Up-tick Payments are payable over a period of six or seven years (the "Payment Period"). In addition to satisfaction of the Conditions, the Up-tick Payments are only be payable if, during the relevant period, the average price of copper per tonne is US$6,614 or more (US$3.00/lb).
The Company also entered into a credit assignment agreement with a related company of Astor, Shorthorn AG, pursuant to which the benefit of outstanding loans were assigned to the Company in consideration for the payment of EUR9.1 million to Shorthorn (the "Loan Assignment"). Payment under the Loan Assignment is also subject to satisfaction of the Conditions and is payable in instalments over the Payment Period.
As security, inter alia, for the obligation to pay the Deferred Consideration, the Up-tick Payments and the Loan Assignment to Astor, Atalaya Riotinto Project (UK) Limited has granted pledges over the issued capital of ARM and the Company has provided a parent company guarantee.
As at the date of this report, the Permit Approval condition has been satisfied. However, the Group has not entered into arrangements in connection with a Senior Debt Facility and, in the absence of drawdown of funds by the Group pursuant to a Senior Debt Facility, the Conditions have not been satisfied.
On 6 March 2017, judgment in the case brought by ("Astor Case") was handed down in the High Court of Justice in London (the "Judgment"). On 31 March 2017, declarations were made by the High Court which give effect to the Judgment.
In summary, the High Court found that the Deferred Consideration did not start to become payable when Permit Approval was granted. In addition, the intra-group loans by which funding for the restart of mining operations was made available to ARM did not constitute a Senior Debt Facility so as to trigger payment of the Deferred Consideration. Accordingly, the first instalment of the Deferred Consideration has not fallen due.
14. Deferred consideration (continued)
Astor failed to show that there had been a breach of the all reasonable endeavours obligation contained in the Master Agreement to obtain a Senior Debt Facility or that the Group had acted in bad faith in not obtaining a Senior Debt Facility. While the Court confirmed that the Group was not in breach of any of its obligations, the Master Agreement and its provisions remain in place. Accordingly, other than up to US$10.0 million a year which may be required for non-Proyecto Riotinto related expenses, ARM cannot make any dividend, distribution or any repayment of the money lent to it by companies in the Group until the consideration under the Master Agreement (including the Deferred Consideration) has been paid in full.
As a consequence, the Judgment requires that, in accordance with the Master Agreement, ARM must apply any excess cash (after payment of operating expenses, sustaining capital expenditure, any senior debt service requirements and up to US$10.0 million (for non-Proyecto Riotinto related expenses)) to pay the consideration due to Astor (including the Deferred Consideration and the amount of EUR9.1 million payable under the Loan Assignment) early. The Court confirmed that the obligation to pay consideration early out of excess cash does not apply to the Up-tick Payments and the Judgment notes that the only situation in which the Up-tick Payments could ever become payable is in the unlikely event that mining operations cease at Proyecto Riotinto and a Senior Debt Facility is then secured for a sum sufficient to restart mining operations.
While the Judgment confirms that the cash sweep provisions of the Master Agreement require ARM to repay the Loan Assignment early, it does not extend to the credit assignment agreement which is governed by Spanish law. The Judgment therefore does not provide any clarity on whether the Conditions have been met in respect of payment of the Loan Assignment and there remains significant doubts concerning the legal obligation to pay the Loan Assignment pursuant to the terms of the credit assignment agreement.
Previously, the Group had not recognised the Deferred Consideration in the initial purchase price allocation on the basis that the payment of the amounts was not considered probable. The High Court judgment of 6 March 2017 required the Group to revisit its estimates and assumption to book the liability.
As at 31 March 2018, the Group has not generated any excess cash and, consequently, no consideration has been paid.
As at the reporting date, the Group has presented the deferred consideration in the consolidated and standalone financial statements to reflect the Company's best estimate of the liability and the excess cash flows in the future years in the view of the High Court ruling of March 2017 and in line with IAS 37.
The nominal amount of the liability recognised is EUR53 million. In 2017 the discount rate used to measure the liability for the deferred consideration was re-assessed to apply a risk free rate for the relevant periods, as required by IAS 37. The effect of discounting, when applying this risk free rate, was considered insignificant and the Group has measured the liability for the deferred consideration on an undiscounted basis. The value of the liability for the Group and Company is in line with the court ruling issued on 6 March 2017 amounting to EUR53 million and EUR9.1 million respectively. For details on the restatement of the deferred consideration liability as at 31 December 2017, refer to 2017 Annual Report Note 2.1(c).
On 25 April 2017, Atalaya and Astor applied for permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal. On 11 August 2017 the Court of Appeal granted permission to both parties to appeal (although it rejected three of Astor's seven grounds).
The Appeal took place on 9(th) and 10(th) May 2018 and the Group is expecting the ruling in the coming months.
15. Derivative instruments
15.1. Foreign exchange contract
As at 31 December 2016, Atalaya had certain short term foreign exchange contracts with the following relevant information:
Foreign exchange contracts - Euro/USD
Period Contract type Amount in USD Contract rate Strike ------------------- --------------- -------------- -------------- ------- June 2016 - March FX Forward 2017 - Put 5,000,000 1.0955 n/a FX Forward - Call 10,000,000 1.0955 1.0450
The counter parties of the foreign exchange agreements are third parties.
In February 2017, the Group entered into certain foreign exchange hedging contracts to offset the agreements noted above before its expiration date. The contracts were signed with the same financial institution and resulted in a loss of EUR9,000 which was recorded as financial expense during the quarter.
During Q1 2018 the Group did not entered into any foreign exchange hedging contract.
15.2. Commodity contract
During the three months ended 31 March 2018, the Company had not entered into any hedging contract.
16. Acquisition, incorporation and disposal of subsidiaries
On 14 February 2018, Atalaya Servicios Mineros, S.L. was incorporated. Atalaya Riotinto Project (UK) Limited is its sole shareholder.
17. Related party transactions

18. Contingent liabilities
Judicial and administrative cases
In the normal course of business, the Group may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Legal fees for such matters are expensed as incurred and the Group accrues for adverse outcomes as they become probable and estimable.
The Junta de Andalucía notified the Group of another disciplinary proceeding for unauthorised discharge in 2014. The Group submitted the relevant defence arguments on 10 March 2015 but has had no response or feedback from the Junta de Andalucía since the submissions. Based on the time that has lapsed without a response, it is expected that the outcome of this proceedings will also be favourable for the Group. Once the necessary time has lapsed, the Group will ask for the Administrative File to be dismissed.
19. Commitments
There are no minimum exploration requirements at Proyecto Riotinto. However, the Group is obliged to pay municipal land taxes which currently are approximately EUR235,000 per year in Spain and the Group is required to maintain the Riotinto site in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.
20. Significant events
Rumbo royalty
In July 2012, Atalaya Riotinto Minera, S.L. signed a royalty agreement with Rumbo 5 Cero, S.L. ("Rumbo"), at which this last was entitled to receive a royalty payment of up to US $250,000 per quarter if the average copper sales price or LME price for the period is equal or upper $2.60/lb for ten years up to a maximum amount of US$10,000,000. As the average copper price for the third and fourth quarter of 2017 were above $2.60/lb, the company needed to pay a royalty amounted to $500,000 to Rumbo. On 8 February 2018, the companies agreed to satisfy this payment through an issuance of 192,540 new ordinary shares at GB GBP7.5p.
After Atalaya announced on 13 February 2018 the issuance of new ordinary shares in the Company to satisfy the first two instalments generated on the third and fourth quarters of 2017, under the Royalty Agreement, Atalaya agreed the purchase of the royalty.
On 5 April 2018, the Company signed with Rumbo a contract to purchase the royalty agreement for a total consideration of US$4,750,000 to be paid through the issuance of 1,600,907 new ordinary shares of GB GBP7.5p.
21. Events after the reporting period
