Press Release Details
First Quantum Minerals Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results
07/31/2013
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - July 31, 2013) -

(In United States dollars, except where noted otherwise)

First Quantum Minerals Ltd. ("First Quantum" or the "Company") (TSX:FM)(LSE:FQM) today announced comparative net earnings1 of $106.1 million or $0.18 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2013 inclusive of $19.5 million or $0.04 per share of unfavorable, recurring acquisition-related adjustments.

1 Comparative earnings and comparative earnings per share are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Earnings attributable to shareholders of the Company have been adjusted to remove the effect of unusual items to arrive at comparative earnings. The Company has disclosed these measures to assist with the understanding of results and to provide further financial information about the results to investors.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

First quarter with full consolidation of the assets acquired in the purchase of Inmet Mining Corporation:
copper production up 44% to 103,694 tonnes
nickel production up 33% to 10,875 tonnes
gold production up 44% to 63,567 ounces
Copper production cash costs lowered by 12% to $1.34 per pound
Unfavorable impact to gross profit of $46 million due to lower metal prices
Strong financial position maintained:
$281.6 million of cashflow generated by operations
$778 million of cash
$3,582.5 million of undrawn facilities
Development projects remain on track
Full year production guidance reconfirmed
CEO'S COMMENTS

"Our results reflect continued strong performance at all our operations, and the successful integration of the mines acquired with Inmet. In particular, Kansanshi and Guelb Moghrein both turned in higher year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter copper production and Ravensthorpe's output came in just shy of the quarterly record set in Q1, despite the two week bi-annual acid plant shutdown" noted Philip Pascall, First Quantum's CEO and Chairman.

"Good cost control combined with the addition of the acquired operations to our asset base effectively reduced our production cost of both copper and nickel. This low cost profile enables First Quantum to be profitable, and to generate healthy cash flows, even in low metal price environments.

"Our balance sheet and operational cash flow continue to be strong. During the quarter, we repaid the $2.5 billion of short-term financing and are well advanced with establishing more suitable longer-term debt instruments to help us maintain our financial flexibility and meet our funding requirements. We expect to report further on this in the next few months.

"Solid progress was made with construction of our projects. The Kansanshi expansion, Sentinel and smelter projects are now within 18 months of commissioning and startup. When these projects are in operation, they are expected to employ an additional 2,400 people, add 445,000 tonnes of new copper production capacity and further lower our unit operating cost. At Cobre Panama, we have maintained our corporate responsibility program, and have now applied our steadier practical approach to project development. As a result, the cash outflow has slowed considerably and our team is confident that we can achieve the outcomes we had envisioned. We expect to provide a full update on the project in the fourth quarter of this year."

Re: résults

il est prévu un versement de dividendes de FQM vers ses actionnaires, quelques jours avant, comme par le passé, FQM demandera à ses actifs de lui verser des dividendes afin de disposer du cash pour les verser à ses propres actionnaires... ZCCM devrait donc recevoir des dividendes début septembre de la part de kansanshi

Posted August 20, 2013 by mitia in Business

By JAMES KUNDA
FIRST Quantum Minerals (FQM) has generated a cash flow of US$281.6 million from its operations in the second quarter of 2013, the company’s quarterly report has revealed.
According to the report, FQM recorded comparative net earnings of $106.1 million or $0.18 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2013, inclusive of $19.5 million or $0.04 per share of unfavourable, recurring acquisition-related adjustments.
“The mining firm recorded $3,582.5 million of undrawn facilities ensuring that all development projects remained on track and full year production guidance reconfirmed,” said the report.
In-terms of sales revenues, FQM recorded $869.3 million compared to the $7.22 million recorded during the same period last year, highlighting a gross profit of $201.1 million less than the $274.7 million last year.
FQM chief executive officer and chairperson Philip Pascall said FQM’s balance sheet and operational cash flow continue to be strong.
“During the quarter, we repaid the $2.5 billion of shortterm financing and are well advanced with establishing more suitable longer-term debt instruments to help us maintain our financial flexibility and meet our funding requirements,” he said.
Mr Pascall said solid progress has been made towards the construction of projects such as the Kansanshi expansion, Trident Sentinel and a smelter which are now within 18 months of commissioning and startup.
He said when these projects are in operation, they are expected to employ an additional 2,400 people, adding 445,000 tonnes of new copper production capacity and further lower our unit operating cost.
Meanwhile, the company has declared an interim dividend of Cdn $0.0583 per share in respect of the financial year ending December 31, 2013.
The quarterly report said the dividend would be paid on September 19, 2013 to shareholders of record and the ex-dividend date is August 26, 2013.
“The dividends paid are considered eligible dividends for Canadian tax purposes,” the report said.
