VANCOUVER, B.C., August 10, 2022 /CNW/ - (LUC – TSX, LUC – BSE, LUC – Nasdaq Stockholm)

 

Lucara Diamond Corp. (“Lucara” or the “Company”) today reports its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Q2 2022 HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Revenue for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 totalled $52.3 million and $120.5 million, respectively.
  • Strong rough and polished diamond market fundamentals continue, despite growing global economic uncertainties.
  • Revenue from sales transacted on Clara during the three months ended June 30, 2022 totalled $9.4 million, a 13% increase from the $8.3 million in revenue earned in the comparative quarter.
  • A third-party producer commenced a series of trial sales on Clara in Q2 of 2022, which are continuing into Q3 of 2022.
  • Production metrics remained in line with 2022 guidance, with 1.1 million tonnes of ore and 0.4 million tonnes of waste mined, and 0.7 million tonnes of ore processed during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
  • A strong U.S. Dollar helped to mitigate increases in input costs, resulting in an operating cash cost of $28.78 per tonne of ore processed(1).
  • A total project investment of $29.1 million into the Karowe UGP during the current quarter focused on the transition to main sink activities and construction of the upgraded transmission line and related substations.

Eira Thomas, President & CEO commented: “In Q2, Lucara celebrated 10 years of continuous operations at its 100% owned Karowe Diamond Mine and delivered production on plan in combination with healthy diamond sales, reflecting stable polished diamond demand and a continued positive outlook for diamond prices longer term.  Third party volumes on Clara also continued to grow during the quarter, with Karowe goods reliably supplemented in each completed sale. Momentum on the underground expansion continues to ramp up as we began the transition towards the main shaft sinking phase; Lucara maintains access to ample liquidity to support of its growth plans.”

 

REVIEW FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

  • Operational highlights from the Karowe Mine for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included:
    • Mined 1.1 million tonnes (Q2 2021: 0.9) and 0.4 million tonnes (Q2 2021: 0.8) of ore and waste, respectively.
    • Processed 0.7 million tonnes of ore (Q2 2021: 0.7) and recovered 86,317 carats (Q2 2021: 101,330 carats), achieving a recovered grade of 12.0 carats per hundred tonnes (Q2 2021: 13.9 cpht).
    • A total of five diamonds greater than 100 carats were recovered during the quarter.
    • The year-to-date Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate ("TRIFR") of 0.09 (Q2 2021: zero) at the end of Q2 2022 reflects one medical treatment case reported during the first quarter of 2022.

  • Financial highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included:
    • Revenues from the sale of 66,167 carats recovered from the Karowe Mine were $50.0 million (Q2 2021: $45.9 million from the sale of 68,806 carats from Karowe). The sales agreement with HB Trading BV (“HB”) accounted for 65% (Q2 2021: 67%) of total Karowe revenue recognized in the quarter.
    • Operating cash costs of $28.78 per tonne processed(1) (Q2 2021: $27.51 per tonne processed) reflect the impact of higher input costs, partially offset by a comparatively stronger U.S. Dollar.
    • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $24.4 million increased by 10% from $22.2 million for the same period in 2021, attributed primarily to higher revenues.
    • Net income for the quarter increased to $12.5 million ($0.03 basic earnings per share) from $6.0 million ($0.02 basic earnings per share) in Q2 2021. 

 

  • Cash position and liquidity:
    • As at June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $40.8 million.
    • The Company drew an additional $20.0 million from the $170.0 million project loan facility for a total drawn amount of $65.0 million.
    • The outstanding balance on the working capital facility was reduced to zero during the quarter and the full $50.0 million facility was unutilized as at June 30, 2022.

DIAMOND SALES

Diamond sales in Q2 2022 continued through HB under the sales agreement for those gem and near-gem diamonds greater than 10.8 carats which are to be manufactured and sold as polished. Other diamonds continued to be sold through a combination of the Clara platform and regular tenders.

 

The Company recognized total revenues of $52.3 million in Q2 2022. This included $50.0 million from the sale of 66,167 carats from Karowe, top-up payments of $13.1 million as well as $2.3 million from the sale of third-party goods on the Clara platform. In the comparative quarter, the Company achieved revenues of $46.3 million which included $45.9 million from the sale of 68,806 Karats from Karowe, top-up payments of $7.9 million as well as $0.4 million in revenue from third party goods sold through the Clara platform.

HB SALES AGREEMENT FOR +10.8 CARAT DIAMOND PRODUCTION FROM KAROWE

Karowe’s large, high value diamonds have historically accounted for approximately 60% to 70% of Lucara’s annual revenues.  In 2020, Lucara announced a partnership agreement with HB, entering into a definitive sales agreement for diamonds recovered that exceed +10.8 carats from the Company’s 100% owned Karowe Diamond mine in Botswana. This agreement was subsequently amended and extended to December 31, 2022.  The mechanisms of the agreement result in complete transparency within the value chain and create important alignment between the producer and the manufacturer for the first time.

Under the amended sales agreement, +10.8 carat gem and near gem diamonds from the Karowe Mine of qualities that can directly enter the manufacturing stream are being sold to HB at prices based on the estimated polished outcome of each diamond. The estimated polished value is determined through state-of-the-art scanning and planning technology, with an adjusted amount payable on actual achieved polished sales, less a fee and the cost of manufacturing. Following the extension of the HB Agreement in 2021, all +10.8 carat non-gem quality diamonds and all diamonds less than 10.8 carats in weight which did not meet the criteria for sale on Clara are being sold as rough through the quarterly tender. In the agreement extension, payment terms were amended to better reflect the timing of mine production and the manufacturing process. This unique pricing mechanism delivers regular cash flow for this important segment of our production profile.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded revenue of $32.4 million from the HB agreement (inclusive of top-up payments of $13.1 million), as compared to revenue of $30.7 million in Q2 2021 (inclusive of top-up payments of $7.9 million). The increase in revenue in Q2 2022 is attributed to higher prices achieved, despite lower overall sale volumes delivered to HB during the current quarter. Diamond market fundamentals continued to support healthy prices as steady demand and some inventory shortages were reported. Natural variability in the quality profile of the +10.8ct production in any production period or fiscal quarter results in fluctuations in recorded revenue and associated top ups between periods.  This is expected and reflects a combination of current diamond market prices as well as variability in the quality of Karowe’s production profile in any given period.

As a result of the sales agreement with HB, the Company also participated in polished diamond price increases during Q2 2022 as rough diamonds sold to HB in previous quarters were polished and sold.  In Q2 2022, top-up payments of $13.1 million (Q2 2021: $7.9 million) were included in revenue for the quarter. At June 30, 2022 a number of higher value and more technically complex stones that take longer to manufacture had not fully completed the manufacturing and sales process. These stones were delivered to HB in 2021 and the first six months of 2022.  As these stones finish the manufacturing process and are sold, the Company’s may record additional revenue in the form of “top-up” payments from these sales.

CLARA SALES PLATFORM

Clara, Lucara’s 100% owned proprietary, secure, web-based digital sales platform, continues to gain scale and interest.  Interest in Clara continues to grow as the benefits of purchasing rough diamonds in an innovative way become evident.  In Q2 2022, five sales (Q2 2021: six sales) took place with a total sales volume transacted of $9.4 million, a 13% increase from the $8.3 million transacted in Q2 2021, continuing the strong price trends observed on Clara during Q1 2022.  The number of buyers on the platform remained stable during the quarter with the Company maintaining a waiting list to manage supply and demand. 

While most of the stones transacted through the platform are supplied from the Karowe Mine, secondary market stones continued to be offered for sale through the platform with good results.  Additional supply is required to meet existing demand and drive the platform’s growth and the Company launched a series of trial sales on the Clara platform with a third-party producer in Q2 2022.  The Company intends to continue to seek additional supply in 2022, both from third-party producers and the secondary market.

KAROWE UNDERGROUND EXPANSION UPDATE

The Karowe UGP is expected to extend the mine life to at least 2040, with underground carat production predominantly from the highest value EM/PK(S) unit and is forecast to contribute approximately $4 billion in additional revenues, using conservative diamond prices.  The estimated capital cost for the Karowe UGP has increased from $534 million (including contingency) to $547 million to reflect expected pricing changes following execution of the main sink contract.  Mine ramp up is expected in Q1 2026 with full production from the Karowe UGP expected in H2 2026.  The Company is using a combination of cash flow from operations and project debt for the investment in the Karowe UGP, which is fully financed.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, a total of $29.1 million was spent on the Karowe UGP development, primarily in relation to ongoing construction activities and procurement of long lead items, including:

  • Pre-sink activities for both the production and ventilation shafts were completed, including placement and erection of headgear for the production shaft.
  • The main sink contract for the production and ventilation shafts was executed and main sinking of the ventilation shaft commenced. The transition from the pre-sink to the main sinking phase has been slower than anticipated however, opportunities have been identified to decrease main sink cycle times and reduce the impact to the schedule.
  • The production shaft stage winder was installed and roped-up.
  • Procurement of shaft station underground mobile equipment and the mine bulk air cooler was initiated.
  • Letlhakane and Karowe power substation construction continued. The transmission line towers were erected in preparation for the stringing of the transmission lines.

 

Activities for the Karowe UGP in the upcoming quarters of 2022 are expected to include the following:

  • Commencement of main sinking for the production shaft.
  • Awarding of bulk air cooler tender and continued procurement of underground equipment.
  • Continuation of detailed design and engineering of the underground mine infrastructure and layout.
  • Commissioning of the 29 km 132kV bulk power supply powerline by the end of the year.

DIAMOND MARKET

The diamond market continued its strong performance during the second quarter of 2022 with minor price corrections observed. Solid market fundamentals supported diamond prices despite growing concerns of a global economic slowdown as high levels of reported inflation persisted and governments respond with increasingly forceful measures in attempts to reduce it to sustainable levels. 

 

A cautious economic outlook combined with the uncertainty caused by geopolitical events, including the conflict in Ukraine and continuing implications of the COVID-19 pandemic (specifically in China where the demand for diamonds has not yet recovered) remain a risk to diamond pricing trends in the short term but the longer-term price outlook remains positive.

 

The benefits of the committed sales agreement with HB continued to be realized during the second quarter of 2022 as the Company participated in the upside to manufacturing polished diamonds for goods delivered in previous quarters. The integrated approach, using state of the art scanning and planning technology has further enhanced the final achieved polished outcome for very large (+50 carat polished) and high value diamonds, a critical production segment for the Company.

2022 OUTLOOK

This section of the press release provides management's production and cost estimates for 2022.  These are “forward-looking statements” and subject to the cautionary note regarding the risks associated with forward-looking statements. No changes were made to the Company’s 2022 Guidance as of Q2 2022.  In February 2022, based on updated expectations for revenue in 2022, the diamond revenue guidance issued was increased to between $195.0 million and $225.0 million (from $185.0 million to $215.0 million). Diamond revenue guidance does not include revenue related to the sale of exceptional stones (an individual rough diamond which sells for more than $10 million), or the Sethunya.

(2) Includes ore and waste mined cash costs of $5.75 to $6.25 (per tonne mined) and processing cash costs of $12.00 to $13.00 (per tonne processed).

(3) The Company is subject to a variable tax rate in Botswana based on a profit and revenue ratio which increases as profit as a percentage of revenue increases. The lowest variable tax rate is 22% while the highest variable tax rate is 55% (only if taxable income were equal to revenue).  Capital expenditures are deductible when incurred. With planned capital expenditures of up to $110 million for the UGP, a tax rate of 0% is forecast for 2022. Should capital expenditures vary from plan, the Company could be subject to current tax. 

 

In 2022, the Company's revenue forecast assumes that 100% of the carats recovered will come from the higher value M/PK(S) and EM/PK(S) units within the South Lobe in accordance with the mine plan.

 

The assumptions for carats recovered and sold are consistent with achieved performance in recent years.  The number of tonnes processed is also consistent with recent achievements, noting that actual tonnes processed in 2021 was about 6% higher than 2020 due to improving plant reliability because of the success of the preventative maintenance plan that has been implemented.

 

Waste tonnes that were deferred in 2021 as other mining areas in the open-pit were prioritized are expected to be caught up in between 2022 and 2024.   The estimated processing cost per tonne processed is higher than previous years, reflecting expected inflationary pressure on labour and commodity costs.

 

In 2022, capital costs for the underground expansion are expected to be up to $110 million and will focus on the commencement of main shaft sinking activities, the commissioning of the bulk power supply 132 kV line and substations and detailed engineering for the underground development. Sustaining capital and project expenditures are expected to be up to $17 million with a focus on completion of a community sports facility, dewatering activities and an expansion of the tailings storage facility.  

 

Lucara Botswana’s progressive tax rate computation allows for the immediate deduction of operating costs, including capital expenditures, in the year in which they are incurred.  Based on the updated 2022 revenue guidance of $195 million to $225 million and assuming the underground development expenditures are incurred, the expected tax rate will be 0% for 2022.
