Mincor Resources: Asia Mining Congress

Company Presentations

Mincor Resources Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, David Moore, speaks at the Asia Mining Congress in Singapore: Welcome to Mincor’s presentation this afternoon. As you can see from that slide Mincor is a mining and exploration company, that’s what we do, that’s what we focus on. We think we’re pretty good at it, and I’ll take you through our story. We’re actually a well established nickel mining company based in Western Australia with mines in Western Australia. We’re also very much a growth focused and multi-commodity exploration company.

Prices have been dropping for about 15 months and that obviously hammers the price of nickel mining companies.

We raised $5 million in 2011 and since then we’ve generated a net profits after tax of $235 million after tax and we’ve actually paid out dividends to date of $110 million. So, it’s a pretty strong track record, I think, by any standards. So at the current share price you have to ask yourself what you get when you buy Mincor. And what you do get is a nickel mining business that is currently trading at a deep discount, certainly if you extract the cash and look at the value of the Kambalda nickel business, we’re trading on about two times EBITDA and as I said paying out of a dividend yield of nearly six per cent. You also get all the exploration upside in the company, and you get that free...
