Summary of important events in the third quarter of 2023 and year to date:

  • The Company reported NOK 266.1 million in capitalized costs related to the construction of the Engebø Project in the third quarter, compared to NOK 368.2 million in the second quarter. For the nine months ending 30 September 2023, the total capitalized costs related to Mine under construction ended at NOK 766.5 million.

  • The Company continued construction of the Engebø Project on cost and time, with focus on establishment of concrete foundations for underground crushing chamber and process plant buildings, as well as finalization of laydown areas for the SMPP (“Structural, Mechanical, Piping and Platework”) and ECI (“Electro, Instrumentation and Control”) EPCs. Reduced activity during summer holidays and less capital-intensive construction activities during the quarter resulted in less capitalized cost compared to the previous quarter.

  • The Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with Saferock AS for a joint product development project on applicability of residual mineral streams from Nordic Mining’s Engebø Project in production of cement binders, targeting a climate friendly alternative to traditional cement.

  • During the year the Company completed the financing required to fully fund the Engebø Project, consisting of share issues with gross proceeds of NOK 1.0 billion, a USD 100 million 5-year secured bond (on Nordic ABM, ticker: ERUGA01 PRO) and a USD 50 million royalty financing agreement, the last two subject to certain pre-disbursement conditions precedents. The Company is focused on finalizing the remaining conditions precedent for the first drawdown during November.
