Operational performance and cost management

  • Q3 2024 vanadium production was 855 mtV, down 14.5% year-on-year; 9M 2024 production was 2,546 mtV, down 8.5% from 2023, both impacted by maintenance shutdowns and cash flow constraints.

  • Q3 group sales were 859 mtV, up 1.2% year-on-year; 9M 2024 sales were 2,492 mtV, down 15.4% from 2023.

  • Weighted average production cash cost for Q3 2024 was $27.50/kgV and for 9M 2024 was $27.80/kgV, both up year-on-year, influenced by lower production and a stronger Rand.

  • Vametco's Q3 2024 production was 485 mtV, with costs at $30.9/kgV, affected by maintenance shutdowns and cash flow issues.

  • Vanchem's Q3 2024 production was 370 mtV, with costs at $23.1/kgV; Vanchem sale completed in November 2024.

Financial and strategic actions

  • Cost-cutting measures, including workforce reductions at Vametco and head office, and asset disposals (Lemur and Vanchem) are underway, targeting $8–10 million annualized savings by end-2025.

  • Lemur disposal removed a $2.5 million liability to the Development Bank of South Africa.

  • Completion of the Vanchem sale means Vanchem is no longer part of the group; all conditions, including regulatory approval, have been met.

  • Vametco is now the core asset following these disposals.

  • Manual efforts reduced the Barren dam level by approximately two meters, reflecting a focus on safety and operational effectiveness.

Financial position and liquidity

  • Guidance for 2024 has been suspended due to working capital constraints.

  • Current funds are insufficient to sustain operations and meet immediate liabilities; active engagement with stakeholders is ongoing to address liquidity.

  • Liquidity issues have led to a controlled slowdown of production at Vametco, pending further funding.

  • Options to improve liquidity are being assessed with shareholders, lenders, and advisors, with updates to be provided when material developments occur.

  • Deferred consideration from the Vanchem sale will be received over three years, with a minimum of $5 million per year, paid quarterly.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
