Jervois Finland
Sales and Marketing
Li-ion battery demand continues to lead the cobalt market, with demand steady but robust in other applications. Jervois achieved Q1 2022 revenue of US$105.1 million (an increase of +9% versus the prior quarter, Q4 2021), generated via quarterly cobalt sales volume of 1,446 metric tonnes.
Production during the quarter was 1,275 metric tonnes, reflecting challenging conditions for supplier logistics, including global shipping markets. These factors affected Q1 production rates at Jervois’ facilities. Jervois is focused on working with its key suppliers to ensure adequate cobalt hydroxide raw material sourced by Jervois is made available to the Umicore refinery.
Jervois continues to prudently manage its balance sheet and drew down an additional US$17.5 million in the quarter to fund Jervois Finland’s working capital requirements and to maintain financial flexibility. Volatility and uncertainty in global commodity markets has increased following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Jervois’ outlook for key market segments is summarised below.
Chemicals, Catalysts and Ceramics
-
-Robust demand in key copper electrowinning (EW”), coatings and rubber adhesion applications. Premiums remain stable in western markets. Lower premiums in Asia
-
-Cobalt consumption in hydro-desulphurisation (HDS”) applications stable at historically lower levels. The rising oil price may increase the catalyst changeout frequency going forward
-Increased energy (gas) costs and supply chain disruptions of a key ceramic raw material out of the Ukraine, are affecting operations at ceramic tile producers, particularly in Europe. This situation is having a negative knock-on effect at ceramic ink manufacturers
Powder Metallurgy
-
-Outlook for 2022 stable, with the primary uncertainty surrounded by automotive and the situation in Ukraine:
-
-Aerospace continues to strengthen
-All other markets remain strong, as energy (oil gas) continues to strengthen due to solid demand and higher prices
-Automotive remains unclear; however, as semiconductor availability improves, the auto build rate will also increase
-
Batteries
-
-Li-ion battery demand (electric vehicles (EVs”) and electronics) continues to meet or exceed forecasts
-Global electric vehicle production strong, but hampered by the lack of semiconductors
-NMC cathode chemistry remains the cathode chemistry of choice for longer range vehicles. Cobalt consumption remains strong with demand for both sulphate and metal keeping Fastmarkets MB SG price close to US$40.00/lb
Financial Performance2
Jervois Finland Q1 2022 revenue of US$105.1 million represented an increase of +9% over the prior quarter. Significantly, the Q1 2022 adjusted EBITDA of US$14.9 million was nearly a four-fold increase over the prior quarter, demonstrating the robust nature of the business once higher cobalt prices begin to be realised.
Figure 1: Jervois Finland Financial Metrics and Market Price Indicators
Revenue performance was supported by strengthening cobalt prices, with Q1 2022 representing the fourth successive quarter of revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA performance in the quarter was underpinned by lower realised feed costs, that were favourably impacted by a net draw down of cobalt feed inventories in a rising price environment. This was partially offset by transitional factors associated with the increase in cobalt prices during the quarter. This includes both a lag in cobalt prices flowing through revenue, and effects of mark-to-market accounting on cobalt purchases.
A key focus for the business is addressing emerging headwinds. While the direct impacts to the business resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been limited and is isolated to certain consumables, indirect impacts are intensifying with reduced reliability in supply chains and cost pressures emerging. Managing these risks and containing inflationary impacts is a key objective for the remainder of the year.
2022 EBITDA Guidance
EBITDA guidance for full year 2022 is unchanged at US$50.0 to US$55.0 Million (Table 1).
Table 1: Updated 2022 EBITDA guidance for Jervois Finland
2022 Guidance |
|
Q2-Q4 Cobalt price (Metal Bulletin Fastmarkets SG) – US$/lb |
US$39.75/lb |
2022 sales volumes guidance – Tonnes |
5,750 to 6,000 |
2022 EBITDA guidance – US$M (unchanged) |
US$50.0 - 55.0M |
Key factors that underpin the guidance update are as follows:
-
-Guidance based on actual cobalt price (Metal Bulletin Fastmarkets Standard Grade) of US$35.70/lb for Q1 2022, and US$39.75/lb spot price for Q2 to Q4 2022
-Price volatility in Q1 2022 moderates flow through benefit of price increase to EBITDA (revenue lag and mark-to-market impacts)
-Lower sales volume guidance reflects logistical and supply chain interruptions – managing these risks will remain key focus for remainder of the year
-Guidance assumes constant prices for Q2 to Q4 2022 – price volatility in the period will impact actual EBITDA outcome
Idaho Cobalt Operations (“ICO”), United States
ICO is a key asset in delivering Jervois’ strategy to become a leading independent cobalt and nickel company providing metals and minerals for the world’s energy transition through a Western supply chain. With commissioning expected in Q3 2022, ICO will be the United States’ only primary domestic mine supply of cobalt, a critical mineral used in applications across industry, defence, energy, and EVs.
Following a cost and schedule review for ICO in December 2021, which led to a revised capital estimate of US$99.1 million, Jervois continued to progress construction of the project. In February, the Company announced it had completed the first of two US$50 million drawdowns of its US$100 million bond offering proceeds from the escrow account (the “Bonds”) as contemplated by the terms of the Bonds, as detailed in the Corporate section of this report.
Surface construction continued during the quarter with advancement on mill foundations, the completion of the structural steel for the concentrator building, completion of the crushed ore bin and commencement of the camp construction with the first sleeper units of the camp installed. Mine development by regional contractor Small Mine Development continued during the quarter, with the completion of the explosives magazines and initial underground drill bays as well as the first ore access development, the start of the underground maintenance infrastructure and the main access decline. During the quarter, approximately 50,000 short tons were moved from the mine to the tailings and waste storage facility.
At end March, Jervois had committed US$74.6 million of the total capital expenditure budget. Capital expenditure in Q1 2022 was US$19.6 million, and construction remains on budget and schedule. First concentrate production at ICO is anticipated for Q3 2022 and Jervois expects to reach sustainable commercial production in December 2022.
Drilling at ICO
In January, Jervois announced its Board had approved an initial infill programme at ICO to commence in Q1 2022. Jervois committed US$1.2 million to complete approximately 5,800 metres of underground drilling at its RAM deposit within ICO. The infill drilling campaign across 2022 will reduce drill hole spacing in the underground resource ahead of first production and is underway.
During the quarter, approximately 300 metres (1,000 feet) of initial drilling was completed.
In addition, Jervois’ team at ICO is planning a resource expansion drill programme from surface between April to November 2022, when site conditions allow.
ICO’s RAM deposit remains open at depth, and Jervois has confidence that there exists a strong potential of resource and reserve expansion. Further details on this additional programme will be advised once finalised and approved. Expansion of the resource is important if ICO is to operate for longer than its initial mine life, or at higher production rates than contained in the ICO Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”).
São Miguel Paulista (“SMP”) nickel and cobalt refinery, Brazil
Jervois’ BFS for the SMP Nickel and Cobalt refinery was announced on 29 April 2022, with the following highlights:
-
-SMP restart based on MHP and cobalt hydroxide.
-
-Initial Stage 1 forecast production of 10,000mtpa3 and 2,000mtpa of refined nickel and cobalt metal cathode respectively. Stage 2 BFS regarding a return to full 25,000mtpa refined nickel production capacity expected to be finalized in the second half of 2022.
-Net Present Value (“NPV”) for Stage 1 restart of US$228 million and US$141 million at an 8% (real) discount rate on a pre-tax and post-tax basis respectively; nominal Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 47% (pre tax) and 35% (post tax).
-
-At US$8.00/lb nickel and US$25.00/lb cobalt, post ramp up of Stage 1 to BFS production rates, average annual EBITDA in real terms projected to be over US$30 million. Refinery economics resilient to a range of market scenarios, including current spot market conditions for refined and intermediate products.
-
-Total project capital cost of US$55 million, representing a competitive refurbishment of an existing brownfield nickel and cobalt refinery. SMP has a long operating history, most recently placed into care and maintenance managed by current owner Companhia Brasil de Alumino (“CBA”).
-
-Restarting the only electrolytic nickel-cobalt refinery in South and Latin America will deliver significant local and regional economic and social benefits to the São Miguel Paulista area of São Paulo city, Brazil.
-
-SMP benefits from competitive low carbon energy (predominantly hydropower), skilled workforce, existing infrastructure including main arterial roads and ~120km from Brazil’s largest container port at Santos.
-
-Jervois is advancing discussions on commercial supply contracts of MHP and cobalt hydroxide to underpin SMP restart.
-
-Work continues on design of an autoclave to process cobalt concentrates from Jervois’s 100%-owned ICO; once available, this will be incorporated into the Stage 1 BFS. Stage 2 BFS taking refined nickel output back to the previous 25,000mtpa capacity on track for completion in the second half of 2022.
-
-Execution planning has commenced and a final investment decision for Stage 1 is anticipated to occur in parallel to closing of the SMP acquisition. Jervois continues to advance operating permit renewal process with the São Paulo City Hall, a condition precedent to closing, before 31 August 2022.
-
-First commercial production from SMP’s Stage 1 restart is expected during 2023.
Nico Young Nickel-Cobalt Project, New South Wales, Australia
Jervois’ 100%-owned Nico Young nickel and cobalt project envisages heap leaching nickel and cobalt laterite ore to produce either an intermediate mixed hydroxide precipitate or refining through to battery grade nickel sulphate and cobalt in refined sulphide.
Jervois’ Board has approved recommencement of drilling at Nico Young, with an initial focus on converting inferred resources into the indicated category. Planning activities advanced during the quarter in relation to land access, stakeholder engagement and selection of drilling contractors.
Corporate Activities
Environmental, Social, Governance (“ESG”) and Compliance
Substantial progress was made in the quarter through disclosure of Jervois’ inaugural 2021 Sustainability Report. The report outlines Jervois’ ESG performance gauged against key sustainability targets and progress towards translating sustainability commitments into action.
Also, within the quarter, the Board approved adoption of a new Human Rights Policy and Jervois issued its first Modern Slavery Statement. Both strongly reaffirm our commitment to respect human rights, including those concerning labour rights, indigenous rights and women’s rights and the range of other rights and freedoms enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and ILO Core Conventions.
Coordination on these reports between technical leads in Finland, the United States and Brazil further reinforced efforts to harmonise ESG policies and procedures across the organisation. Among areas of progress, with respect to ISO 14001 and 45001 certifications, ICO began to assess related requirements and timelines and made significant process in stakeholder mapping. Headway was also made on engagements to support community agreements. SMP similarly initiated a structured stakeholder mapping process to inform its engagement and community investment strategies.
Health and safety continued to be at the forefront at all operations. While Jervois Finland continued to implement its well developed OHS systems as operations continue, ICO is advancing construction rapidly, requiring exceptional leadership and diligence to ensure that all contractors and a growing number of employees strictly adhere to our high OHS standards.
Substantial efforts were taken in the quarter to both bolster foundational procedures and expand leading actions.
On other fronts, progress in advancing internal climate strategies was most pronounced at Jervois Finland through operational planning and actions related to energy, waste and water consumption and related R&D efforts. ICO’s collaboration with the Idaho Conservation League (“ICL”) under the “Upper Salmon Conservation Action Program” (“USCAP”) continued with the second call for proposals launched in the quarter, results of which will be announced in May 2022.
In conjunction with the Company’s broader approach to ESG, Jervois continues its involvement in various initiatives and associations, including the Cobalt Institute’s Responsible Sourcing and Sustainability Committee (“RESSCOM). Jervois continues to be an active member of the United States Zero Emission Transportation Association (“ZETA”), of which the Company is a founding member alongside industry leaders such as Tesla, Albemarle and Livent. Jervois additionally had representation in workshops reviewing the Global Battery Alliance (“GBA”) carbon footprint calculations rulebook.
Liquidity
Jervois ended the March 2022 quarter with US$88.2 million in cash (excluding restricted cash associated with the US$100 million ICO Bonds).
In February 2022, Jervois completed the first of two drawdowns, utilising US$50 million from its US$100 million bond offering proceeds from its escrow account, as contemplated by the terms of the Bonds.
First drawdown on the Bonds followed RPM Global’s January 2022 site visit in its capacity as Independent Engineer on behalf of the Bondholders, and submission to the Bonds trustee of an affirmed cost to complete test, confirming Jervois’ ICO development project is expected to be fully funded to completion.
Jervois is using these funds exclusively for ongoing construction of ICO.
In March 2022, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Jervois Finland, drew down an additional US$17.5 million under the US$75.0 million Mercuria secured revolving credit facility, with the funds received on 14 March 2022. The facility was thus fully drawn at quarter close, consistent with rising cobalt prices.
