Northland Resources Fails to Raise Money, Shares Hit
02/05/2013| 07:27am US/Eastern
  By Kjetil Malkenes Hovland

OSLO--Oslo-listed mining company Northland Resources S.A. (>> Northland Resources SA) said Tuesday that its plan to raise money to finance the development of a new mine had failed, and that it had cancelled equity and debt offerings totaling $375 million, which caused its share price to fall heavily.

The company said it had cancelled a $250 million equity issue and a $125 million tap issue on an existing bond, because it was "not in a position to conclude the offerings."

At 1152GMT, the company's shares traded 25.5% lower at NOK0.70 at the Oslo stock exchange, down 89% from the beginning of 2013, and valuing the company at NOK456 million ($83.3 million).

On January 24, Northland said it needed more capital to complete the construction and production ramp-up at its new iron ore mine in Kaunisvaara in northern Sweden. Operating costs and capital expenditures were higher than expected, the iron ore price was lower than expected and the Swedish krona had strengthened against the dollar, somewhat offset by higher expected production.

Compared to a year ago, the company said it had adjusted its expected 2013 operating expense up to $118 per dry metric ton, or dmt, from $62 per dmt, and its 2014 operating expense up to $83 per dmt from $55 per dmt.

Capital expenditures had risen to an estimated $1.096 billion from an expected $875 million a year ago, the company said.

Northland now expects the dollar to trade at 6.9 versus the Swedish krona, but a year ago it had expected it at 8.125. The USD/SEK traded Tuesday at 6.33. With expenses in SEK and income in U.S. dollars, a stronger SEK would affect earnings negatively.

The company said it "continues to engage in constructive discussions" with investors, including bondholders, creditors and other stakeholders to solve its problems.

The company said the Kaunisvaara mine would be in full production in the third quarter of 2014, with an annual production of 4 million dmt of iron ore. The production in 2013 was estimated at 1.5 million dmt.

Production has already started, and the first iron ore concentrate was transported to the Norwegian port of Narvik in December. The first delivery is expected to Tata Steel Ltd. (500470.BY) in the Netherlands by mid-February, Northland said.

hätte gerne noch welche...aber kommt wohl nicht mehr an mein limit..schade!  

hat man doch die Erwartung für die Erlöse nach oben korrigiert!?

Compared to a year ago, the company said it had adjusted its expected 2013 operating expense up to $118 per dry metric ton, or dmt, from $62 per dmt, and its 2014 operating expense up to $83 per dmt from $55 per dmt.

 

Dann dürfte der Wechselkursunterschied ja nicht so ins Gewicht fallen.

Wenn die Wirtschaftlichkeit des Projekts gegeben ist, dürfte einer Finanzierung wohl nicht all zu viel im Wege stehen.

 

Leider falsch verstanden. expense = Kosten/Aufwendungen!  

 

...wurden die "production expenses", also die operativen Kosten...

mir so vor, als wenn man hier vor allem und zwar schnellstmöglich das Management austauschen sollte...

OTHER RESTRICTIONS ARE APPLICABLE. PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT NOTICE AT THE END OF THIS PRESS RELEASE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Luxembourg, February 5, 2013 - Northland Resources S.A. (TSX: NAU, OSL: NAUR, Frankfurt: NPK, Nasdaq OMX/First North: NAURo - "Northland" or the "Company") announces (with reference made to the Company's press releases dated January 25 and 29, 2013) that the previously announced contemplated USD 250 million equity issue and USD 125 million tap issue have been cancelled. The Company continues to engage in constructive discussions with a number of investors, including bondholders, creditors and other stakeholders in order to present a sustainable long-term financial solution.

As disclosed in the press release dated January 25, 2013, Northland intended to raise USD 250 million in an equity issue (the "Equity Issue") and USD 125 million in a tap issue on the existing USD 350 million bond (the "Tap Issue", and together with the Equity Issue, the "Offerings") to fund capital and operating expenditure related to its Kaunisvaara project and the associated logistic chain, as well as for general corporate purposes (including the Hannukainen project and transaction costs). As announced on Tuesday January 29, 2013 the subscription period for the Equity Issue was extended to Monday February 4, 2013 at 4:30 pm CET.

It became apparent to the Company and its advisors Arctic Securities ASA and Pareto Securities AS (the "Advisers") that the Company is not in a position to conclude the Offerings at the end of the subscription period. The Company and its Advisers are engaged in discussions with a number of potential investors regarding the Company's capital needs and a long-term financial solution. On this basis, the Company has concluded that it is in the best interest of the Company, its shareholders, bondholders, creditors and other stakeholders, to cancel the Offerings. The Company will update the market on developments in due course.

Das sind IMHO rund 1500 nautische Meilen Entfernung bis Narvik...

Wieso Spitzfindigkeit?

Deine Art zu recherchieren gefällt mir sehr!

Hebt sich wohltuend vom üblichen Börsen-/Forumsblabla ab.

Kompliment.  Hier noch der Link ... www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx

 

Zeit, gegen uns !!! Stell mich ab 6 in den Wind!  

Spitzfindigkeit meinte ich deshalb, weil bei den momentanen Problemen von Northland es wahrscheinlich komplett irrelevant ist, ob das Schiff nun diese oder erst nächste Woche beladen wird.

Jedoch wäre es ein weiterer Beweis für die desaströse Informationspolitik des Unternehmens...
