Jervois Finland
Acquisition and Business Integration
On 2 September 2021, Jervois confirmed it had closed its acquisition of 100% of Freeport Cobalt (renamed Jervois Finland) by purchasing all the shares of Freeport Cobalt Oy and four affiliated entities from Koboltti Chemicals Holdings Limited (“KCHL”) (the "Acquisition").
Jervois Global welcomed its new colleagues in the executive team and all operational employees at Kokkola. Detailed integration planning and execution is underway across commercial (including purchasing, sales, working capital and risk management), information technology, finance, environment and sustainability, governance and technical services. Utilisation of Jervois Finland technical expertise and input as it pertains to battery chemicals including sulphates is underway with a specific focus on the restart plans for the SMP nickel-cobalt refinery in Brazil.
Sales and Marketing
The proforma third quarter revenue was US$76.9 million representing cobalt sales volume of 1,415 metric tonnes. This was the strongest quarter for 2021 due to a combination of positive cobalt price momentum and strong sales volumes. Of this, US$25.3 million was under the ownership of Jervois during September. The proforma year to date (“YTD”) revenue was US$199.7 million based on cobalt sales volume of 3,983 metric tonnes. Production for the year to date is broadly in line with sales volumes.
The current outlook into Q4 and calendar 2022 is positive, with Jervois seeing strong demand across its industrial customers in each of Europe, the United States and Japan. The contracting season is currently underway with a robust outlook in key market segments based on Jervois’s customer feedback on their own sales projections, as global recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic gains momentum. Jervois is witnessing increasing concern from traditional users of cobalt regarding the potential shift of units into rising battery demand.
Chemicals, Catalysts and Ceramics
· Consumption strong in chemicals segments, 2022 forecast +5% growth versus 2021.
· Improving outlook in catalyst segment after delayed catalyst changeouts and softer consumption in refinery catalysts in 2021. Catalyst recycling business stable.
· Pigment production recovering from Covid-19 slowdown in parallel with ceramic tile production growth; strong outlook for 2022 with key accounts signalling growth in cobalt oxide requirements.
Powder Metallurgy
· Aerospace recovery has commenced; pace of automotive recovery less certain due to lack of semiconductors which continues to impact the sector.
· Mining and associated service providers experienced strong growth associated with a robust commodity price environment particularly in base metals.
· Across Jervois’s global sales book into powder metallurgy, modest growth expected in 2022 matched to pace of recovery in end-use markets.
Batteries
· Demand for electric vehicle batteries continues to expand; demand growth for cobalt chemicals resilient in context of evolving battery cathode chemistries.
· Lithium ion battery prices impacted by rising commodity and component costs .
· Cobalt sulphate producers pursuing premium increases to increased feed stock costs, and offset production and freight cost inflation.
Financial Performance
Jervois Finland Proforma EBITDA was US$15.0 million and US$6.8 million YTD and 3Q 2021 respectively; this included US$1.6 million for September, which was adversely affected by the timing impact of higher current feedstock cost and lag in increased sales prices in a rising cobalt price environment.
Revenue performance continues to strengthen in line with higher cobalt prices (Figures 1 and 2). The cobalt hydroxide payable indicator is stable but at historically elevated levels.
Full year 2021 proforma EBITDA guidance of ≥ US$20 million is reconfirmed, underpinned by a forecast average US$25.00 per lb Fastmarkets Metal Bulletin (“MB”) Standard Grade (“SG”) cobalt price assumption for Q4 2021.[3] The current Fastmarkets MB SG cobalt price is US$27.10 to US$27.65 per lb.
Figure 1: Jervois Finland Financial Metrics and Market Price Indicators
Jervois Finland net working capital closed the quarter at US$94 million. Investment in working capital is a key enabler of the business and rose across 2021 due to rising cobalt prices.
As announced on 29 October 2021, Jervois Finland has entered into a secured US$75 million standby working capital facility with Mercuria Energy Trading SA (“Mercuria”) (the “Facility”). The Facility will provide flexibility and headroom to fund working capital in higher cobalt price environments. Initial draw down is anticipated to occur in November 2021.
Idaho Cobalt Operations (“ICO”), United States
Jervois has committed more than US$33.4 million of the total capital expenditure budget of US$92.6 million and more than 40 percent of all equipment and material for the project has been ordered. As part of the current construction cycle at site (more than US$100 million historically has been invested during prior work seasons), preparatory works commenced in Q2 2021, with the installation of equipment required to commission the water treatment plant (“WTP”), civil and concreting works for the fine ore bin installation, mill and flotation buildings erection, relining of the dry stack tailings facility, installation of the water pump back system and preparation of the portal bench including bolting and meshing of the slope above the proposed portal.
Great Basin Industrial, a local contractor, has been working with Jervois and M3 Engineering (“M3”) on the completion of the Veolia designed WTP. Commissioning of the WTP started in September 2021, and is now water commissioned. Final punch list items for operation will be completed during Q4 2021.
Local Idaho company Scarrow Excavation has completed a portal bench extension and associated road network from the portal. It has also commenced the installation of the water pump back system from the portal to the process plant water distribution manifold and WTP.
Western United States construction company Capra Group (“Capra”) has been active on site since late July 2021, commencing concrete and civil work for the mill and flotation building and civils for the fine ore bin. Capra has completed the concrete walls for the mill building and will finalise concrete walls for the flotation building in Q4 2021. The erection of the mill building has commenced and both the mill and concentrator buildings will be erected in Q4 2021, which will then allow indoor construction to continue through winter.
Northwest Linings and Geotextile Products, Inc. has completed the laying of a high-density polyethylene (“HDPE”) liner on the dry stack tailings facility which will be used to temporarily store mine waste rock during mine development and mill dry stack tailings during operation when paste fill is not required. This liner installation has been certified to meet all standards required for a HDPE liner installation by geotechnical engineering company Newfields.
Small Mine Development (“SMD”) has opened the west portal and will commence development at the east portal in Q4 2021. SMD anticipates reaching first ore in Q1 2022.
Jervois has ordered all long lead items for the process plant, including SAG mill, flotation cells, thickener, camp, transformers, and an on-line analyser. The SAG mill shell is currently in transit from Brazil and is expected to be delivered to site in December 2021.
Delivery of initial modules of the accommodation camp has been delayed into early Q1 2022, with full operations of the camp including kitchen and utilities now not expected until later in the quarter.
Certain key capital goods, specifically SAG mill parts to be shipped from Turkey, have also experienced logistical delays in anticipated delivery time to site. Jervois is currently reviewing and integrating the impact of these events with EPCM M3 and expect to have an updated construction schedule shortly. Given the absence of a camp at least across December and January, final commissioning date will increasingly be influenced by weather conditions over the coming winter construction season, with safety of the workforce being prioritized.
The opening of the west portal is a historic step toward security of supply of cobalt for the United States and its allies. The Biden Administration recently discussed the perilous situation faced by the United States related to cobalt in its high-profile review of supply chain vulnerabilities. When ICO goes into production in 2022, it will mark the first time in decades that America will have a primary cobalt mine within its borders. Jervois looks forward to continuing its work with the political leadership of the United States, particularly with Governor Brad Little, the Idaho congressional delegation, and the Biden Administration. Jervois Global is committed to building an ethical, sustainable and secure Western alternative to the current Chinese-dominated cobalt supply chain, and to working with its diverse customer base across a wide range of key strategic industries in the United States, Europe and Japan.
São Miguel Paulista (“SMP”) nickel and cobalt refinery, Brazil
In September Jervois announced that the Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) scope of work for the São Miguel Paulista (“SMP”) nickel cobalt refinery in São Paulo, Brazil was to be expanded to include a significant increase in the forecast pressure oxygen (“POX”) leach circuit capacity.
The expanded BFS, led by Ausenco, will leverage the technical expertise the Company has gained through its acquisition of Jervois Finland, to include a dedicated crystalliser circuit for the production of nickel sulphate crystals, a premium product able to be delivered to both the plating and battery industries.
Nickel sulphate is trading at a significant premium to metal, a trend that Jervois’ commercial team expects to continue due to the volume of nickel sulphate forecast to be derived from metal dissolution to satisfy global demand growth in battery markets.
Importantly a larger POX offers greater feed flexibility, as in addition to sulphide concentrates, the autoclave circuit will be able to process mixed sulphides, mattes, hydroxide products, material from lithium ion batteries known as “black mass” and other recycled materials. The expanded POX circuit will unlock sunk capital at SMP and enhance the operating flexibility and commercial value of the refinery.
This switch will be linked to restarting SMP at or close to its prior capacity, of 25,000 metric tonnes of nickel and 2,500 metric tonnes of cobalt. As a result the restart of SMP, and the associated Ausenco study release, will no longer be staged. Due to the flowsheet change the completed Ausenco BFS is expected to be delivered by end Q1 2022.
Jervois remains confident in the attractiveness of restarting SMP, and that a larger, less staggered restart is the correct commercial approach given the Company’s increased scale and market presence following its acquisition of Freeport Cobalt (now rebranded Jervois Finland).
Jervois currently holds a lease over SMP providing it access to undertake the BFS on a potential restart of the facility. Jervois has agreed with Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio (“CBA”) (an investee company of Votorantim) to extend the outside date of closing of Jervois’ acquisition of SMP from 31 December 2021 to 31 March 2022, however the R$1.5 million[4] monthly lease charge will cease from the start of January 2022.
Closing of the SMP refinery acquisition by Jervois is subject to several conditions precedent, including renewal of the São Paulo City Hall operating permit. CBA is complying with necessary legal procedures for renewal, and an updated license is expected to be received during 2021. Jervois’ existing early termination option under the transaction sale and purchase agreement will also be extended to 31 December 2021.
The cash purchase price of R$125.0 million[5] payable in tranches conditional upon permitting, restart BFS outcomes and future production thresholds – except for a R$15 million initial payment in December 2020 – remains payable in stages to June 2023. The next acquisition payment payable by Jervois will be R$47.5 million cash[6] on Closing.

The Company is continuing discussions on a suitable ownership structure and marketing strategy to secure a partner to advance into BFS.
Corporate Activities
Liquidity
Jervois ended the September 2021 quarter with A$43.3 million (US$31.2 million) in cash (excluding restricted cash associated with the US$100 million ICO Senior Secured Bond).
As announced concurrent with this quarterly, Jervois Finland Oy, along with its parent Jervois Suomi Holding Oy (together the “Borrowers”) has entered into a working capital facility with Mercuria (the “Lender”). Jervois Finland’s facility with Mercuria is for an initial commitment of US$75 million with a maturity date of 31 December 2024. There is an Accordion mechanism to accommodate additional borrowing capacity of US$75 million, which would take the overall standby working capital facility to US$150 million.
Terms for the Accordion have been negotiated and it remains uncommitted until notice is provided by Jervois, and certain conditions have been satisfied including Lender consent. Until the Accordion is converted into a committed facility, Jervois Finland will pay no associated fees. Under the facility, the Borrowers can draw to the lower of the maximum amount or 80 per cent of the collateral value, where collateral is defined as the value of Jervois Finland’s inventory and receivables, calculated monthly.
The facility is secured against the shares in Jervois Finland and its assets and is guaranteed by Jervois Global. A maximum of US$50 million is permitted to be transferred out of the Jervois Finland group of companies, for other general purposes in the Jervois Global group.
At the time of closing the acquisition of Jervois Finland on 1 September 2021, Jervois Finland had US$98 million net working capital on its balance sheet, approximately US$23 million more than US$75 million ‘target’ working capital communicated in the ASX announcement, Jervois to acquire Freeport Cobalt for US$160 million (27 July 2021). Working capital levels fluctuate according to the cobalt market price environment, and other factors.
Jervois expects to utilize the facility to fund working capital levels more than the US$75 million ‘target’. The committed facility amount provides headroom to fund working capital in a higher cobalt price environment.
Due to current cobalt prices and buoyant market expectations, Jervois expects initial utilisation of US$32.5 million to occur in November 2021, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions precedent including those related to execution of security documentation over the assets of Jervois Finland. Jervois will use proceeds to fund higher working capital levels at Jervois Finland should market prices increase, and where required for funding of the Group’s development activities, including the R$47.5 million[7] cash acquisition payment for SMP nickel cobalt refinery that Jervois expects to fall due in the first quarter of 2022 in line with the anticipated closing.
Equity Financing
During the quarter Jervois raised approximately A$313 million in equity via the issuance of new fully paid ordinary shares, associated with the acquisition of Freeport Cobalt (the “Offer”).
Jervois applied proceeds from the Offer to fund the acquisition of Freeport Cobalt, for ICO development expenditure and for general corporate purposes, including advancement of the BFS at the SMP nickel cobalt refinery in Brazil.
Jervois insiders and principals contributed A$3.57 million to the Offer, which included A$1.0 million from Mr. David Issroff, who Jervois appointed to its Board following completion of its acquisition of Freeport Cobalt.
Existing substantial shareholder AustralianSuper Pty Limited invested an additional A$73.9 million in the Offer to support the acquisition of Freeport Cobalt and advancement of both ICO and SMP.
As part of the Offer, Mercuria, one of the world’s largest integrated energy and commodities companies with approximately US$100 billion annual turnover, acquired a significant equity position in the Company, via the investment of A$45.7 million. Mercuria and Jervois agreed to work together to advance their commercial footprint in nickel and cobalt markets, with the US$75 million standby working capital facility with Jervois Finland announced concurrent with this release, the initial step in this relationship.
First Drawdown of Bond Offering
The first of two (2) drawdowns of 50% of the US$100 million Bond Offering proceeds from the escrow account continues to be anticipated in Q4 2021, following satisfaction of the conditions precedent to withdrawal, as outlined in the company announcement on 5 July 2021, which include inter alia Jervois spending US$35 million toward the ICO project.
RPM Global, the independent engineer engaged by the Bond Trustee, visited ICO in September 2021. The purpose of the visit was to gather information for the Cost-to-Complete Test, one of conditions precedent to withdrawal from the escrow account, and in accordance with the Bond Terms.
Environmental, Social, Governance and Compliance
In light of closing of the Freeport Cobalt acquisition (now Jervois Finland), an area of emphasis in Q3 2021 included review and integration of ESG systems and processes. Jervois Finland was the first cobalt chemical producer in the world to achieve Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) Conformant Downstream Facility status and support for ethical sourcing practices continues to be a high priority. Actions were therefore prioritized to ensure continued conformance with OECD Due Diligence for Responsible Minerals Supply Chains. This included transparent communications with upstream suppliers and customers, formal registration of changes with RMI and by providing required disclosures and links to the RMI grievance mechanism through the launching of the Jervois Finland website (www.jervoisfinland.com). In conjunction with this, selected policies and procedures, including Jervois’ Supplier Standard, were rolled out across the expanded organisation.
Jervois Finland has a mature ESG framework and, in conjunction with the integration process, progress was made towards formalizing inter-operation communications and collaboration on ESG between Jervois’s operating sites in Finland, the United States and Brazil. This was reinforced by formation of an internal Climate Action Working Group. which aims to advance and formalize Jervois’ climate strategies and commitments in 2022. Building on Jervois’ climate efforts reported in previous quarters, Jervois Finland brings substantial depth in climate responsiveness. Efforts range from operational actions to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste and water consumption to tangible progress in cobalt recycling to considerable research and development aiming to increase contribution to the circular economy and participation in the “Towards carbon neutral metals (TOCANEM)” program in co-operation with Business Finland, among others.
In conjunction with the Company’s broader approach to ESG, Jervois has increased its engagement in various initiatives and associations, including the Cobalt Institute’s Responsible Sourcing and Sustainability Committee (“RESSCOM”), leadership roles in its Cobalt REACH Consortium and engagement in 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.
Director and Management Updates
Jervois appointed Mr. David Issroff as a Non-Executive Director effective 3 September 2021 following the completion of the acquisition of Freeport Cobalt, as foreshadowed last quarter.
Jervois Finland leadership carried across from the Freeport Cobalt acquisition, with the appointment following closing of Mr. Sami Kallioinen (President and Managing Director), Ms. Pia Lehtonen (Financial Controller), Dr. Thomas Slotte (Director – Plant Support and Administration), Mr. Juha Järvi (Director – Technical Services), Mr. Jeff Blazek (Global Business Manager – Powder Metallurgy) and Mr. Mike Lacis (Global Business Manager – Chemicals, Catalysts and Ceramic).
During the quarter former Xstrata plc executive Mr. Ian Woolsey joined the Company as Group Manager – Information Technology (“IT”). Mr. Woolsey joins after more than a decade with Glencore and Xstrata where he led the IT integration of major cross-border transactions including the Xstrata acquisition of MIM Holdings and Falconbridge, together with the Glencore-Xstrata merger. Mr. Woolsey will lead the IT integration of Jervois Finland, ICO and SMP as the appropriate systems, governance and controls are rolled out across the expanded group to reflect its maturity as an operating business of scale.
Domestic border restrictions inconsistent with rules applying elsewhere in the world at this advanced stage in the Covid-19 pandemic, continue to affect the viability of Australian based companies to successfully operate and compete on a global scale. During the quarter Jervois’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bryce Crocker, relocated from Australia in order to continue managing the businesses effectively. Mr. Michael Rodriguez, Group Manager – Technical Services, will temporarily relocate from Western Australia to the Americas in early 2022 in order to continue his leadership of the SMP BFS and to work closely with each of Ausenco, the executive team in Jervois Brazil and the operating team at SMP whom will become Jervois employees upon envisaged closing of the acquisition by the end of Q1 2022.
Mr. David Selfe, Group Manager – Geology, has decided to leave the Company to pursue an alternate career opportunity within Western Australia. Many of Jervois’s Directors and Management have worked with Mr. Selfe for nearly 25 years, since the early days of Murrin Murrin, Glencore’s nickel-cobalt facility in Western Australia, and we wish him well.
Exploration and Development Expenditure
No material cash expenditure on exploration and development was incurred during the quarter. Activities at ICO are now classified as Assets Under Construction and incurred cash expenditure of US$7.7 million (A$10.7 million) in the quarter.
In Brazil, Jervois’ lease payment for the SMP Refinery was R$4.5 million (A$1.2 million) for the quarter (R$1.5 million per month) and will continue for Q4 2021. Brazilian development cash expenditure excluding the lease payment, namely the SMP BFS and associated metallurgical testwork, totalled R$5.3 million (A$1.4 million) during the quarter.
Company Name Change
Effective 3 September 2021, the company name changed from Jervois Mining Limited to Jervois Global Limited following shareholder approval on 29 July 2021. There was no change to the ASX or TSX-V code for Jervois, which remained JRV, and there was no change to the International Securities Identification Number which remained s AU000000JRV4.
NON-CORE ASSETS
Jervois’s non-core assets are summarized on the Company’s website.

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Historical financial information for Jervois Finland is based on unaudited financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and accounting principles applied under its ownership by Freeport McMoRan Inc, prior to the acquisition by Jervois Global on 1 September 2021. A review of Jervois Finland’s financial reporting practices is in progress. The purpose of the review is to align Jervois Finland to the Jervois group accounting policies which conform with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Based on the current status, Jervois does not expect that this review will give rise to material adjustments, however changes to financial information could occur once the review is finalised in the fourth quarter of 2021.
EBITDA for historical periods is presented as net income after adding back tax, interest, depreciation, other income, and extraordinary items and is a non-IFRS/non-GAAP measure.
The Jervois Finland financial results for the period post-acquisition are consolidated into the Jervois Global consolidated financial statements. Financial information presented for the period prior to acquisition by Jervois Global on 1 September 2021 is presented on a proforma basis for illustrative purposes only.
The Jervois Finland 2021 Forecast consists of unaudited results for January to September, plus forecast results for October to December. The forecast period includes an assumption of a forecast quoted Fastmarkets MB SG cobalt price of US$25/lb. Other forecast assumptions, including production, sales plans, costs and exchange rates are based on Jervois’ internal estimates.
