MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2022
General
The following discussion of performance, financial condition and future prospects should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements of Landore Resources Limited ("Landore Resources" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, "the Group") and notes thereto for the period from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022. All amounts are stated in sterling.
Overview
Landore Resources is admitted to trading on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc, with the trading symbol LND.L. The Company is based in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and its 100 per cent owned operating subsidiary, Landore Resources Canada Inc. ("Landore Canada"), is engaged in the exploration and development of a portfolio of precious and base metal properties in North America.
Financial Results:
The financial results for the six months to 30 June 2022 show a loss of GBP 794,385 (30 June 2021: loss of GBP2,422,042). Exploration costs were GBP 398,341 (30 June 2021: GBP1,641,662).
The Group's cash at bank at 30 June 2022 was GBP 740,405 (31 December 2021: GBP875,658) and the Group has no debt.
Operations Report
The Junior Lake Property:
The Junior Lake property, 100 per cent owned by Landore Canada, is located in the province of Ontario, Canada, approximately 235 kilometres north-northeast of Thunder Bay and is host to the recently discovered BAM Gold Deposit, the B4-7 Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGEs deposit and the adjacent Alpha PGEs zone. Junior Lake also contains the VW Nickel deposit and numerous other highly prospective mineral occurrences including lithium.
BAM Gold Deposit:
Mineral Resource Estimate
On 8 February 2022 the Company announced that Cube Consulting Pty Ltd ("Cube") had completed an updated National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant, Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") on the BAM Gold Project. The MRE modelling increased the BAM Gold Project's In-Situ resource, at a 0.3g/t cut-off to 49,231,000 tonnes (t) at 1.0 grams/tonne (g/t) for 1,496,000 ounces of gold (oz Au) including 30,965,000t at 1.0g/t for 1,029,000 ounces gold in the Indicated Category.
Preliminary Economic Assessment
On 9 May 2022, the Company announced the completion of a Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") on the BAM Gold Project:
-- The PEA considers the economics of exploiting resources inside optimised pit shells of 22.4 Mt at 1.16g/t Au containing 833,000 ounces gold using a long term gold price of US$1,800. The project assumes the construction of a 2.2 Mt per annum processing plant over 4 quarters followed by a production period of 10.5 years.
-- The PEA indicates that the BAM Gold Project generates a pre-tax and post-tax NPVS of, respectively, US$333.6M and US$231.2M and pre-tax and post-tax real IRRs of 87.4% and 66.7%. The BAM Gold Project has an after-tax simple pay back of 1.25 years from the start of production or 2.25 years from the start of project.
To follow up on this positive PEA, a drill programme of 7,500 metres is underway to infill and extend the BAM Gold Deposit and test several potential underground mining targets, for completion following exploration drilling in the Felix Lake-Lamaune area west of the BAM Gold Deposit.
Felix Lake Gold-Battery Metals Exploration:
In May 2022 a soil-till sampling programme was initiated in the Felix Lake, Lamaune Gold and Carrot Top Ni-Cu-Co-PGEs prospect areas. The ongoing soils programme will assist in future target selection for Felix-Lamaune exploration drilling.
A drilling programme consisting of 7,500 metres of NQ diamond core drilling was commenced on 27 July 2022. The programme was designed to drill-test the highly prospective Felix and Lamaune areas located along strike to the immediate west of the BAM Gold deposit. The drilling will target previously identified gold and battery metals mineralisation 12 kilometres to the west along strike from the BAM Gold and B4-7 Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-Palladium-Platinum deposits (Ni-Cu-Co-PGEs).
Felix drilling programme - 20 drill holes for 3,800 metres of NQ Diamond core, targeting previously identified gold and battery metals mineralisation within the highly prospective Felix-Lamaune areas from 1,000W to 5,000W along strike from the BAM Gold Deposit and the B4-7/VW Battery Metals deposits. This drilling programme has been completed with the company awaiting the results.
Lamaune drilling programme - 16 drill holes for 3,700 metres of drilling on the Lamaune Gold prospect and the adjacent Carrot Top and Grassy Pond Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGE prospects, from 7,000W to 10,000W and along strike from the BAM Gold Deposit and the B4-7/VW Battery Metals deposits.
The continued rapid growth of the BAM Gold Deposit together with the possible future development of the other known gold prospects along this highly prospective 31 kilometre long Archean greenstone belt bodes well for the future of the Junior Lake Property hosting a multi-million ounce gold deposit.
Battery Metals:
The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is driving the increasing demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium ("Battery Metals") - which are each critical metals used as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries in the automotive industry, as well as the energy and electronics industries.
In addition to advancing the BAM Gold Deposit, on which the Group remains focused, the Group is encouraged by the increased demand for 'Battery Metals' as the Group's highly prospective Junior Lake property is host to significant Battery Metals Resources and prospects delineated by Landore prior to the discovery of BAM Gold. These resources are compliant to Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI43-101).
Mineral Resources:
-- B4-7 Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGE Deposit and Alpha Zone: 3,292,000 tonnes at 1.20% Nickel Equivalent (NiEq) in the Indicated category and 568,000 tonnes at 1.26% NiEq in the Inferred category for a total of 46,661 tonnes of contained metal.
-- VW Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Deposit: - 1,084,000 tonnes at 0.71%NiEq in the indicated category and 180,000 tonnes at 0.68%NiEq in the inferred category for a total of 8,920 tonnes of contained metal.
-- The Junior Lake Nickel is the highly sought-after Grade 1 sulphide Nickel suitable for 'Battery Metals'.
Junior Lake Lithium Prospects:
Landore has three known lithium occurrences on its Junior Lake property, including the historical Despard Lithium deposit, the Swole Lake spodumene-bearing pegmatite and Tape Lake pegmatites, both discovered by Landore.
Strategic Review
In light of the significance of the BAM Gold and Battery Metals deposits located on the Junior Lake property, as announced in the MRE, the Company announced on 9 May 2022 that the Board is reviewing the strategic options available to the Company in relation to the Company's Canadian subsidiary/assets. The options expected to be considered under the Strategic Review include potential joint venture arrangements or strategic partnerships, the sale of all or a part of its wholly owned subsidiary, Landore Resources Canada Inc. or the Junior Lake Project, or a combination thereof.
Phase one of the Strategic Review will be completed at the end of Q3 2022, at which time the Board will consider its corporate direction to the benefit of shareholders.
COVID-19:
The spread of a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") and measures taken to contain the spread of the virus caused significant disruption to Landore's exploration activities during the first half of 2020. By mid-2020 the Company resumed Canadian operations, and since then has successfully operated in accordance with Government COVID-19 guidelines.
Social and environmental responsibility:
The Group believes that a successful project is best achieved through maintaining close working relationships with First Nations and other local communities. This social ideology is at the forefront of the Group's exploration initiatives and the Company seeks to establish and maintain co-operative relationships with First Nations communities, hiring local personnel and using local contractors and suppliers where possible. Careful attention is given to ensure that all exploration activity is performed in an environmentally responsible manner and abides by all relevant mining and environmental acts. Landore takes a conscientious role towards its operations, and is aware of its social responsibility and its environmental duty.
