Unaudited interim results for the three-and six-month periods ended 30 June
2024
Serabi (AIM:SRB, TSX:SBI, OTCQX:SRBIF), the Brazilian focused gold mining and
development company, is pleased to release its unaudited interim results for
the three and six-month periods ended 30 June 2024.
A copy of the full interim statements together with commentary can be accessed
on the Company’s website using the following link: https://bit.ly/3X0HLgx
“This has been another period of good financial performance,” said Clive
Line, Serabi’s CFO. “EBITDA of $8.3 million for the latest quarter is up
76 per cent on the first quarter of 2024 and has resulted in a year-to-date
EBITDA of 13.0 million, which in turn is a 96 per cent improvement compared
with the first six months of 2023. The cash position of $12 million remained
steady, reflecting the continued investment in development and ramp up of
Coringa, the on-going mine development at Palito and the investment we have
made in the crushing and ore sorting plant at the Coringa mine.
“The Company has previously reported its continuing development of Coringa
with mining now on levels 320m, 290m and 260m, whilst development continues on
levels 260m, 225m and 190m. The main ramp has almost reached the next planned
155m level which will be opened in September. The ramp will continue to be
deepened, but with three and soon to be four development levels ahead of
production, the mine is in a very healthy position for the planned future
production expansion.
“Mine development costs of $3.0 million represent an additional $1.6 million
cost compared to the first six months of 2023, adding approximately $163 per
ounce to the AISC for the six-month period but this up-front investment is
necessary to deliver the longer-term production growth and in turn, reduce the
long-term AISC. In addition, the Company has spent a further $4.0 million on
capital equipment in the first six months of the year which includes $1.3
million on the crushing plant and ore sorter. Mining rates continue to
increase and the 115,860 tonnes of ore mined in the first six months of the
year was a 40% increase compared with the same period of 2023.”
Financial Highlights (all currency amounts are expressed in US Dollars unless
otherwise stated)
* Gold production for the first half of 2024 of 18,010 ounces, (2023: 16,524
ounces).
* Cash held on 30 June 2024 of $12.0 million (31 December 2023: $11.6 million
including US$0.6 million relating to the exploration alliance with Vale).
* EBITDA for the six-month period of $13.0 million (2023: $6.6 million).
* Post-tax profit for the six-month period of $9.2 million (2023: $5.0
million),
* Profit per share of 12.18 cents compared with a profit per share of 6.58
cents for the same six month period of 2023.
* Net cash inflow from operations for the six-month period (after mine
development expenditure of US$3.0 million) of US$6.6 million (2023: US$5.8
million inflow, after mine development expenditure of US$1.3 million)).
* Average gold price of US$2,209 per ounce received on gold sales during the
six month period (2023: US$1,940).
* Cash Cost for the six-month period to 30 June 2024 of US$1,401 per ounce
(six months 2023: US$1,258 per ounce).
* All-In Sustaining Cost for the six-month period to 30 June 2024 of US$1,782
per ounce (six months 2023: US$1,519 per ounce).
Overview of the financial results
In the first half of 2024, the Group has reported revenue and operating costs
related to the sale of 18,535 ounces in the period (18,010 ounces produced).
This compares to sales reported of only 15,356 ounces in the first half of
2023. Reported revenues and costs reflect the ounces sold in each period and
as a result total costs for the six-month period are significantly higher than
for the corresponding period of 2023.
During the month of January 2024, the Group also completed and drew down a new
US$5 million loan with Itaú Bank in Brazil. This new arrangement has an
interest coupon of 8.47 per cent and is repayable as a bullet payment on 6
January 2025. This replaced a similar loan arranged with Santander Bank in
Brazil that was repaid during the month of February 2024.
The ore sorter for Coringa has now been delivered to site and the ground works
required for installing the crushing plant and the related infrastructure for
the ore sorter are progressing well with the intention that the plant can be
operational during the fourth quarter of this year, processing some of the
lower grade material that has been stockpiled at Coringa and boosting gold
production in that last three-month period.

1. Basis of preparation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are for the three
and six month periods ended 30 June 2024. Comparative information has been
provided for the unaudited three and six month periods ended 30 June 2023 and,
where applicable, the audited twelve month period from 1 January 2023 to 31
December 2023. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include all the disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set
of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2023 annual
report.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods have been
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim
Financial Reporting” and the accounting policies are consistent with those
of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 and
those envisaged for the financial statements for the year ending 31 December
2024.
The interim financial information has not been audited and does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Whilst
the financial information included in this announcement has been compiled in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) this
announcement itself does not contain sufficient financial information to
comply with IFRS. The Group statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December
2023 prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in
conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 have been filed
with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor’s report on these accounts was
unqualified. The auditor’s report did not contain a statement under Section
498 (2) or 498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective in 2024
The Group has not adopted any standards or interpretations in advance of the
required implementation dates.
The following Accounting Standards have not yet been ratified in UK law but
are expected to be ratified during 2024. The Group expects to make appropriate
compliant disclosures in its Annual Report for the year needed 31 December
2024.
IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information
IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures
Amendments IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current
and Non Current Liabilities with Covenants
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
(“IAS 1”). The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities
as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end
of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the entity’s
expectation or events after the reporting date. Covenants of loan arrangements
will affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current if the
entity must comply with a covenant either before or at the reporting date,
even if the covenant is only tested for compliance after the reporting date.
There was no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated interim
financial statements as a result of the adoption of these amendments.
Management do not consider that the following other amendments to existing
standards are applicable to the current operations of the Group or will have
any material impact on the financial statements.
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (amendments to IFRS 16)
Supplier Finance Arrangements (amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 17))
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that
are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted.
These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
current or future reporting periods.
These financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in
Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
(i) Going concern
On 30 June 2024 the Group held cash of US$12.0 million which represents an
increase of US$0.49 million compared to 31 December 2023.
On 7 January 2024, the Group completed a US$5.0 million unsecured loan
arrangement with Itaú Bank in Brazil. The loan is repayable as a bullet
payment on 6 January 2025 and carries an interest coupon of 8.47 per cent. The
proceeds raised from the loan are being used for working capital and secure
adequate liquidity to repay a similar arrangement which was repaid on 22
February 2024.
Management prepares, for Board review, regular updates of its operational
plans and cash flow forecasts based on their best judgement of the expected
operational performance of the Group and using economic assumptions that the
Directors consider are reasonable in the current global economic climate. The
current plans assume that during 2024 the Group will continue gold production
from its Palito Complex operation as well as increase production from the
Coringa mine and will be able to increase gold production to exceed the levels
of 2023.
The Directors will limit the Group’s discretionary expenditures, when
necessary, to manage the Group’s liquidity.
The Directors acknowledge that the Group remains subject to operational and
economic risks and any unplanned interruption or reduction in gold production
or unforeseen changes in economic assumptions may adversely affect the level
of free cash flow that the Group can generate on a monthly basis. The
Directors have a reasonable expectation that, after taking into account
reasonably possible changes in trading performance, and the current
macroeconomic situation, the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt
the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements.
2. Other Income and Expenses
Under the copper exploration alliance with Vale announced on 10 May 2023, the
related exploration activities undertaken by the Group under the management of
a working committee (comprising representatives from Vale and Serabi), were
funded in their entirety by Vale during Phase 1 of the programme. Following
the completion of Phase 1, Vale advised the Group, in April 2024, that it did
not wish to continue the exploration alliance.
Exploration and development of copper deposits is not the core activity of the
Group and further funding beyond the Phase 1 commitment would be required
before a judgment could be made as to a project being commercially viable.
There is a significant cost involved in developing new copper deposits and it
is unlikely that, without the financial support of a partner, the Group would
independently seek to develop a copper project in preference to any of its
existing gold projects and discoveries. As a result, both the funding received
from Vale and the related exploration expenditures has been recognised through
the income statement. As this is not a principal business activity of the
Group these receipts and expenditures are classified as other income and other
expenses.

4. Taxation
The Group has recognised a deferred tax asset to the extent that the Group has
reasonable certainty as to the level and timing of future profits that might
be generated and against which the asset may be recovered. The deferred tax
liability arising on unrealised exchange gains has been eliminated in the
six-month period to 30 June 2024 reflecting the stronger Brazilian Real
exchange rate at the end of the period and resulting in deferred tax income of
US$796,454 (six months to 30 June 2023 – charge of US$607,223).
The Group has also incurred a tax charge in Brazil for the six-month period of
US$1,448,598 (six months to 30 June 2023 tax charge - US$738,787).
