PYX Resources Ltd (PYX or the Company) (NSX: PYX | LSE: PYX), the world's
second largest publicly listed zircon producer by zircon resources(1), is
pleased to announce its results for the six months ended 30 June 2022 ("H1
2022").

The Company performed strongly in the first half of the year due to a boost in
premium zircon, rutile and ilmenite production, sales volume and ongoing price
increases; accordingly, H1 2022 has seen PYX deliver a 128% increase in
revenue growth to US$10.6 million.

 

Furthermore, PYX produced 9.2kt in total and sold 3.9kt of premium zircon, up
163% and 19% year-on-year ('YoY') respectively, and increased its zircon
production 23%, with average realised sales price up 92% to US$2,749 per
tonne.  The Company also strengthened its finished goods inventories to 5.8kt
(2021: 0.3 kt) as a result of the start of rutile and ilmenite production and
limited freight availability at the end of June 2022.

 

With a premium zircon production of 2,623 tonnes and sales of 2,122 tonnes Q2
2022 showed to be the best quarter the company has had so far, resulting in a
record revenue for the months of April to June of this year.

 

In December 2021, PYX announced that it had increased its capacity at its
Minerals Separation Plant by 33% to 24ktpa with the additional 6ktpa capacity
being utilised to start production of titanium dioxide minerals (rutile and
ilmenite) during H1 2022. Tailings accumulated over the years were used to
feed the process, which resulted in an ilmenite inventory of 4.6kt tonnes and
rutile of 318 tonnes. Moving from sole premium zircon production to include
rutile and ilmenite reduced the premium zircon potential output for H1 2022,
but PYX believes it will benefit the total operation and margins in the long
run.

 

June 2022 saw industrial metals markets come under pressure and experience the
most significant price decline since 2008(2). The Company believes the trigger
was not only the equity markets correction but the uncertainty surrounding the
possibility of an upcoming of global recession, high inflation, higher
interest rates, and the concern that the war in Ukraine might spread to other
countries. In the period from  1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022, copper price
as an example, had a -14.9% correction to US$8,245 per tonne and tin price
fell sharply by -32.2% to US$26,689 per tonne(3). During the same period,
zircon prices (as measured by Asian Metal) showed an increase, with South
African and Australian zircon increasing from US$1,860 per tonne to US$2,110
per tonne(4) and PYX's premium zircon rising from US$2,450 per tonne to
US$2,766 per tonne (being the Company's average realised prices for the month
of June 2022 compared with the prices for January 2022).  The Directors
believe this illustrates that zircon prices are more driven by physical trade,
which is impacted by a strong demand/supply imbalance, than by geopolitical
concerns.

 

Customer demand continued to be strong, with particular interest being shown
in PYX's premium zircon due to its low aluminium oxide of under 0.2% and
uranium and thorium content of less than 500ppm. PYX has continued to
diversify its sales into different countries and industries, adding customers
in Spain, the USA, and the UK in the last six months as the Company seeks to
limit its exposure to potential customer disruptions amid geopolitical issues.

The Company is also seeing a diversification in end users for its products.
Traditionally, zircon and its derivatives, which have remarkable properties
including opacity/whiteness, hardness, low thermal expansion, high melting
point, low thermal conductivity, chemical inert, and low neutron absorption,
were principally used in ceramics manufacturing, but are now being utilised
for a wider variety of applications including high tech applications that
support the green transition.  These include additive manufacturing,
semiconductors, implants, solar cells, fuel cells and batteries, which are
growing at circa 10 times faster than traditional uses, as well as
electronics, nuclear fuel rods, paper, brake pads, investment casting, and
catalysts.  With this background, as the world moves toward decarbonisation,
the demand for zircon is expected to continue to increase; notably, the
Australian Government classes zircon, rutile, and ilmenite, as crucial
minerals vital for the economic wellbeing of the world's major and emerging
economies(5).

 

PYX achieved a positive underlying EBITDA of US$90k during H1 2022, compared
to a negative EBITDA of US$661k in H1 2021. The Company's net loss after tax
for the period totalled US$3.6 million compared to a loss of US$1.2 million in
2021, mainly as a result of share grants with no effect on cash, loss on fair
value change of financial instrument, improvements to operations and capex to
increase extraction capacity and production and sales volumes; PYX's economics
will improve significantly as a result of these investments.

 

The resulting cash and cash equivalent balance for the period was US$7.7
million, up from US$6.6 million at the end of December 2021. The increase was
due mainly to the March US$4.5 million fundraise from L1 Capital Global
Opportunities Master Fund, less the capital expenditures required to produce
rutile and ilmenite and the increased working capital requirements resulting
from the production and inventory increase. PYX remains debt free, as planned.

Commenting on the Company's achievements in H1 2022, PYX Resources' Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, Oliver B. Hasler, said:

 

"The six-month review period has not only seen us lift revenue by 128% to
US$10.6 million but also post a material uplift in our underlying EBITDA that
moved into positive territory for the first time as planned. Together with the
strengthening of zircon prices, the other key catalyst behind the step-up in
performance has been the expansion in production capacity at Mandiri from
18ktpa to 24ktpa, which has enabled us to diversify our offering to include
rutile and ilmenite; ultimately, this will lift to 48ktpa as of our 5-year
plan."

 

"Looking forward, I believe that the Company is well positioned to enter a
period of sustained growth in financial performance. With a strong balance
sheet and buoyant market, we anticipate delivering on our objective to develop
the Group into one of the most prominent mineral sands producers globally, one
which benefits all stakeholders including the local communities around which
our business is centred, and I look forward to providing further updates on
progress made."

 

PYX Cares Programme

PYX continued with its PYX Cares programme based on five pillars: People,
Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership and subscribed to the UN Global
Compact. Working with local communities in Kalimantan, to learn what they need
to ensure it leaves a lasting legacy to the region and its people, in 2022,
PYX realised projects on education, clean water and sanitation, viable
employment, and building partnerships to further these goals.

 

Furthermore, PYX commenced several environmental projects including a
collaboration with an off-site Orangutan Sanctuary in Indonesia and a
reforestation programme, which will see the Company plant 10,000 trees on its
tenement area.

 

PYX also continued its Covid-19 vaccination programme; as of 31 August, 100%
of its employees had received the first two vaccines and 86% had received the
third. Additionally, for the second consecutive year, PYX has taken part in
National Blood Donor Day, using the banner 'Give Blood, Save Life'.

 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

 Note 1: Summary of Significant accounting policies
 a.  Basis of Preparation
     These general purpose interim financial statements for half-year reporting
     period ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with requirements
     of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134:
     Interim Financial Reporting. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial
     reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
     This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on
     the latest annual financial statements of Pyx resources Limited and its
     controlled entities (referred to as the "Consolidated Group" or "Group"). As
     such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant
     changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore
     recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual
     financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021,
     together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.
     These interim financial statements were authorised for issue on 12 September
     2022.
 b.  Accounting Policies
     The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in
     this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual
     financial statements.
     The Group has considered the implications of new or amended Accounting
     Standards, but determined that their application to the financial statements
     is either not relevant or not material.

 Note 2: Revenue and Other Income
                          The Group has recognised the following amounts relating to revenue in the
                          statement of profit or loss.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This Announcement contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking
information within the meaning of applicable Australian and UK securities
laws, which are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the
date of this Announcement.

 

This forward-looking information includes, or may be based upon, without
limitation, estimates, forecasts and statements as to management's
expectations with respect to, among other things, the timing and amount of
funding required to execute the Company's exploration, development and
business plans, capital and exploration expenditures, the effect on the
Company of any changes to existing legislation or policy, government
regulation of mining operations, the length of time required to obtain
permits, certifications and approvals, the success of exploration, development
and mining activities, the geology of the Company's properties, environmental
risks, the availability of labour, the focus of the Company in the future,
demand and market outlook for precious metals and the prices thereof, progress
in development of mineral properties, the Company's ability to raise funding
privately or on a public market in the future, the Company's future growth,
results of operations, performance, and business prospects and opportunities.
Wherever possible, words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "intend",
"may" and similar expressions have been used to identify such forward-looking
information.

 

Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of
management at the date the information is given, and on information available
to management at such time. Forward looking information involves significant
risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that could cause actual
results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from the results
discussed or implied in the forward-looking information. These factors,
including, but not limited to, fluctuations in currency markets, fluctuations
in commodity prices, the ability of the Company to access sufficient capital
on favourable terms or at all, changes in national and local government
legislation, taxation, controls, regulations, political or economic
developments in Indonesia and Australia or other countries in which the
Company does business or may carry on business in the future, operational or
technical difficulties in connection with exploration or development
activities, employee relations, the speculative nature of mineral exploration
and development, obtaining necessary licenses and permits, diminishing
quantities and grades of mineral reserves, contests over title to properties,
especially title to undeveloped properties, the inherent risks involved in the
exploration and development of mineral properties, the uncertainties involved
in interpreting drill results and other geological data, environmental
hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures,
cave-ins and flooding, limitations of insurance coverage and the possibility
of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, and should be
considered carefully. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect
the Company's actual results and could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements
made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Prospective investors should not place
undue reliance on any forward-looking information.

 

Although the forward-looking information contained in this Announcement is
based upon what management believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable
assumptions, the Company cannot assure prospective purchasers that actual
results will be consistent with such forward-looking information, as there may
be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended, and neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility
for the accuracy and completeness of any such forward-looking information. The
Company does not undertake, and assumes no obligation, to update or revise any
such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information contained
herein to reflect new events or circumstances, except as may be required by
law.

other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information
