Lewis Black, Chief Executive Officer of Almonty commented: “This was another difficult Quarter with the Covid-19 restrictions as a backdrop but we are now starting to see some normalization returning. Our focus continues to be in controlling costs at our Panasquiera site, where our outlook remains positive and profitable, in continuing to conclude all the permitting for the Valtrexial project in 2020 including most recently the land leases which are now completed and, of course, our Sangdong Project, the cornerstone of our Company and the closing of the related project financing. The third update of the US$75M financing will be released shortly.

Regarding progress on the ground in Korea, I am happy to report that the Monty B ore portal is now underway, and this 120m ore portal is expected to be finished November 15th, 2020. The drainage diversion is being marked out now and we expect to commence that in October 2020 so that it is completed prior to the winter weather. All demolition of buildings outside of our build area have now also been correctly finished and the sterilisation of the site has been completed. All environmental programs for the construction to commence are now in place in accordance with the equator principles. We also expect to execute final contracts with Metso, the main provider of our processing plant, at the start of next week where orders for the long lead time equipment will then be placed.”

Although Almonty has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results, level of activity, performance or achievements not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS financial measures by providing further understanding of Almonty’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Almonty’s definitions of non-GAAP measures used in this press release may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of Almonty’s financial information reported under IFRS. Almonty uses non-GAAP financial measures, including “EBITDA”, to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions, and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Almonty defines “EBITDA from mining operations” as gross revenue less mine production costs.

Almonty believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. Almonty’s management also uses non-GAAP financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period.
