Pangea DiamondFields plc
("PDF" or "the Company")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2009
Pangea DiamondFields plc (AIM: PDF), the mid-tier diamond producer and
exploration company provides the following update of its activities to 30 June
2009. The Company has a portfolio of seven projects located in the Central
African Republic ("CAR"), Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC"), Angola and
South Africa.
HIGHLIGHTS
Angola
§ Cassanguidi project now in production
§ Project expansion at Cassanguidi complete with ramp up to full capacity
underway
South Africa
§ Positive feasibility study results for Bakerville
§ 370% increase in resource carats at Bakerville including Indicated category
§ Bakerville project Mining Right application submitted
§ Project bulk sampling at Bakerville ceased pending granting of Mining Right
Resource Update
§ Resource updates completed for Harts River, Longatshimo River and Bakerville
General
§ Strategy to develop near-production assets and conserve cash reserves
continues
§ Cash reserves of US$3.3 million and diamond stock of approximately US$0.5
million as at 30 June 2009
Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Brett Thompson stated, "Whilst the
diamond market has shown signs of recovery during the first half of 2009, the
Company is positioning itself to operate even in the current diamond price
environment with the expansion of the Cassanguidi project to a cash
flow-generative commercial scale operation as well as the ongoing application to
expand the Bakerville project."
General Update
The Company continues to monitor recent trends in the movement of rough diamond
prices following the substantial reductions late in 2008. While recent trends
reflecting upward movement in rough prices to 65 - 70% of mid-2008 prices
relative to the low of around 50% late in 2008 are promising, the Company is
still waiting for signs of sustainability in these trends before changing its
strategy of focusing on the development of near-production assets and the
conservation of cash.
Following the expansion of the Cassanguidi project to a full capacity commercial
scale operation, which is essentially complete and currently ramping up to full
capacity by year end and provided there is no material worsening in the rough
diamond market, the Company expects to be able to generate sufficient cash flow
at current diamond prices to satisfy the operating costs of its other projects
and central overhead costs. However the reader should note the comments which
appear later in the Summary of Results under the heading, Going Concern.
As at 30 June 2009, shortly after the final payment for the purchase of the
Bakerville farm was made, the Company had cash reserves of US$3.3 million and
not the US$3.1 million previously reported due to a minor payment timing issue.
In addition the Company had diamond stock of approximately 3,382 carats
including sampling carats and valued at approximately US$0.5 million, based on
current estimated prices. This balance had reduced to US$1.54 million by 21
September 2009, primarily due to the capital cost of additional equipment for
Cassanguidi as well as the delayed ramp up of the project. As at 21 September
2009 the Company had unsold stock of diamonds in hand valued at approximately
US$0.3 million.
Angola
Cassanguidi
The production of diamonds from Pilot Mining activities has been significantly
reduced for the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period last year
due to the focus of the team being on construction and commissioning of the
expansion project, rather than on bulk sampling and resource generation.
While some delays have been experienced with the availability of power
generation facilities, the ramp up to full capacity at Cassanguidi is now
progressing well and all processing facilities are fully commissioned and
operational. It is expected that Cassanguidi will be generating sufficient
revenues to cover its operational costs by October 2009 and will reach full
capacity by the end of 2009.
Through the commissioning process a positive adjustment to the final capacity of
the new processing facilities has been identified such that full capacity now is
expected to be around 37,500 m3 of in situ gravel mined and processed per month,
producing around 8,000 carats per month, with cash costs expected to be of the
order of US$16 per m3 of in situ gravel mined and processed. Recent data from
third party sales in the first half of 2009 suggests that in the current market,
a price of US$120-130 per carat is achievable.
On 10 August 2009, PDF reported that it had concluded a transaction to acquire
certain mining equipment and processing assets from New Millennium Resources
('NMR'), for use at its Cassanguidi project in Angola, for a total cash and
share consideration of $600,000. The essential equipment has now been relocated
to Cassanguidi and is already in use, while the removal of the remainder of the
equipment considered unnecessary, has been terminated. PDF are in the process of
renegotiating the agreement with NMR to reflect the value of only the equipment
removed. Once this process is concluded a final settlement payment will be made
to NMR by the issue of PDF shares as per the announcement made on 10 August 2009
and the details of this will be released to the market in due course.
South Africa
Bakerville
As recently reported, the third sale by tender of diamonds from the Bakerville
project took place early in September, yielding an average price of US$238 per
carat from a run of mine parcel of 796 carats. To date, over 2,000 carats in
total have been sold by tender from Bakerville at a weighted average price of
US$366 per carat. This is significant as the cumulative carats recovered and
sold now exceed the minimum parcel size required to determine an average
valuation for resource purposes in the indicated category.
As announced by the Company on 15 September 2009, project resource carats have
increased dramatically by 370% to 455,000 carats at a recovered grade of 3.42
ct/100m3 and importantly after the most recent sale, confidence in the quality
of the resource has increased with the inclusion of 2.50 million m3 and 85,600
carats of indicated resources in the overall resource.
A feasibility study has now been successfully completed in house with positive
results and the Mining Right application to allow full scale exploitation of the
deposit has been submitted to the relevant governmental authority in South
Africa and the Company is awaiting feedback from the authorities on this
submission. The final project scope at full production reflects a nominal
capacity of 90,000 cubic metres per month, producing around 2,250 carats per
month at a cost of around US$4.50 per cubic metre. The total estimated capital
cost to develop the project to this revised scale of operations is US$8 million
however the Company anticipates that given the favourable location of this
project in South Africa, a substantial amount of the equipment required could be
acquired on financing terms. At this time, it is not possible to determine when
the Mining Right will be approved and as a consequence when commercial scale
mining may commence, however PDF will undertake all preparatory work to ensure
that the transition to commercial scale operations is not unduly delayed. Until
such time as the Mining Right application has been approved and the Company is
in a position to develop a commercial scale operation at Bakerville, in keeping
with the overall Company objective of reducing unnecessary expenditure the
Company has decided to cease bulk sampling operations at Bakerville and put the
operation on "care and maintenance" with immediate effect. Exploration will
however continue to delineate additional resource potential outside the current
resource area.
As previously reported the Zamenkomst farm on which the operation is currently
situated was recently purchased, with the final payment for this purchase of
ZAR3.22 million (US$0.39 million) being made in June 2009 and the transfer of
ownership of the property to the Company has now been completed.
Harts River - Brussels Area
No further work has been undertaken on the ground at Harts River however a
resource update has been completed which estimates the Harts River resource at
125,000 carats with an average resource value of US$1,043 per carat from 22.7
million cubic metres at a grade of 0.55 carats per hundred cubic metres.
Bloemhof
There are currently no plans to undertake additional work on this project. The
Company is currently considering the best options to maximise value from the
project including a possible sale or joint venture arrangement to further
develop the project. Progress in this regard is not expected imminently.
DRC
Longatshimo River
This project is currently on hold and no further work has been undertaken on the
ground at Longatshimo River however with the bulk sampling work undertaken to
date, a resource update has been completed which reflects increased confidence
in the resource base with 0.49 million carats now in the indicated category and
a total resource of 3.57 million carats.
Tshikapa River
This project is now on hold and no further work has been undertaken by PDF on
the ground at Tshikapa River.
Options to enter into joint venture arrangements with other operators in the DRC
to develop these projects jointly are still being considered although limited
progress has been made to date.
CAR
Dimbi
This project is now on hold and no further work has been undertaken on the
ground at Dimbi. In line with the Company's current strategy the Dimbi project
will remain suspended until market conditions change materially or a decision is
made on its future. Apart from resuming operations if market conditions are
conducive, a number of other options are being considered for the future of the
project, including if necessary a possible sale or the transfer of the equipment
to the Company's DRC projects.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Company expenses all exploration and evaluation costs per project, until the
commissioning of commercial scale production.
The Company incurred a loss before taxation for the six months under review of
US$8.97 million compared to a loss for the same period last year of US$11.11
million. The reduction in loss is in line with Pangea's strategy of reducing
expenditure as much as possible.
Diamond revenues of US$0.9 million were lower than the corresponding period in
the prior year as a result of reduced production from the Cassanguidi Project
due to the ongoing construction activities of the expansion project. In
addition, other income of US$0.9 million was derived from the sale of sample
diamonds incidental to the exploration process. The Company had unsold diamond
stocks on hand of 3,382 carats from its various projects as at 30 June 2009
compared to 4,933 carats at 30 June 2008.
An impairment charge of US$3.1 million was recognised against the carrying value
of the assets of the Dimbi project in the CAR, which has now been written down
to zero in the Company's accounts.
As at 30 June 2009 the Company had cash resources of US$3.3 million (2008 -
US$7.4 million). This balance had reduced to US$1.54 million by
21 September 2009, primarily due to the capital cost of additional equipment for
Cassanguidi as well as the delayed ramp up of the project. As at 21 September
2009 the Company had unsold stock of diamonds in hand valued at approximately
US$0.3 million.
GOING CONCERN
The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral property
interests. Except for the Cassanguidi Project, where expansion to commercial
production status is near completion and the Bakerville project where an
application to expand to commercial production status has been submitted, the
Company has not yet formally announced the decision to proceed to commercial
production status at any of its other mineral property interests. The underlying
value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests and
exploration costs are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically
recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary
financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral property
interests and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of
the mineral property interests.
Global rough diamond prices fell significantly in late 2008 and this fall
continued until April 2009 when prices started to improve to the point that they
are now at approximately 65 - 70% of target prices. The Company took cognizance
of the depressed diamond market and adjusted its budgets accordingly; reducing
expenditure on projects that were unlikely, at significantly reduced diamond
prices, to be cash flow positive in the short term.
The financial
statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, since the directors
believe that the Company will be successful in continuing to trade from its
current position to operate as a going concern. This is premised on the
assumption that the Cassanguidi project will be scaled up as planned. Should
this scaling up be delayed in any way and should the Company be unable to source
additional bridging funding, a material uncertainty exists which may cast doubt
on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Similarly there exists
a material uncertainty as to when rough diamond prices will recover
significantly and this may also cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern, rendering it potentially unable to realise its assets and
discharge its obligations in the normal course of business.
DIVIDENDS
No dividends have been paid or proposed (2008 - nil).
