Nordic Mining’s Annual Report for 2018

The Board of Directors of Nordic Mining ASA has authorized the 2018 annual report for issue.

The Board of Directors of Nordic Mining ASA has authorized for issue the 2018 annual financial statements for the Group and for the parent company, and the Board of Directors’ report. The annual report is made available at the Company’s webpage.

In the consolidated financial statements for 2018, operating loss increased by NOK 3.7 million compared to the unaudited fourth quarter 2018 report. As described in Note 24 - Events after balance sheet date - the exclusive rights for investigation and development of the Kvinnherad quartz deposit expired in April 2019. The Group therefore recognized an impairment of exploration and evaluation assets of NOK 2.4 million for previously capitalized drilling costs in the area and made a provision of NOK 1.3 million for a potential VAT reclaim. The Company continues commercial dialogues to establish a broader basis for progressing the project. 

The auditor's report, which is incorporated in the annual report, includes a statutory emphasis of matter relating to the further financing of the Group.
