VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 15, 2024 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) ("CoTec" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has filed its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The financial statements and MD&A can be accessed under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
The Company announced a comprehensive loss for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $2.19 million and $0.78 million respectively. The comprehensive loss was primarily driven by the impact of adverse exchange rate movements on the value of the Company's investments (S381k) and non-regular vesting of Equity Incentive Units ($822k).
Other highlights for the quarter include:
Filed Initial Mineral Resource Estimate and positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Lac Jeannine Iron Tailings Project ("PEA"). PEA completed on time and within budget. Initial Inferred Mineral Resource of approximately 73 million tonnes (Mt) at 6.7% total Fe for 4.9 Mt of contained total Fe. Pre-tax NPV7% of US$93.6M, and IRR of 38%, and after tax NPV7% of US$59.5M, and IRR of 30% excluding potential benefit of adjacent tailings
Significant progress with the HyProMag USA LLC ("HyProMag USA") bankable feasibility study ("Feasibility Study"). Remains on budget and on schedule for release prior to end of 2024 fiscal year
HyProMag Limited ("HyProMag") entered into an exclusive agreement with Inserma Anoia S.L to commercialize automated processing of hard disk drives, loudspeakers and electric motors to compliment HyProMag USA and HyProMag's German and UK future operations
Post quarter-end MagIron LLC Plant 4 secured its air permit, being the final permit required for its planned re-start
Raised aggregate gross proceeds of $2.75 million through a non-brokered private placement
Engaged San Diego Torrey Hills, Inc. ("Torrey Hills") to provide market awareness and investor relations services to CoTec and commenced marketing initiatives in the US
Mr. Julian Treger, CEO of the Company commented, "We are very pleased with the progress of our operational roll-out and continue to believe the value we have created to date is not reflected in our stock price, which is why insiders continue to support the shares in the stock market. During the quarter insiders have also contributed more than $2.75 million through private placement participation."
"The release of the HyProMag USA Feasibility Study is imminent; we have made good progress in our discussions with potential U.S. suppliers and off-takers and the roll-out of the project remains on track."
"We are continuing to progress our positive discussions with Government of Québec and provincial authorities regarding Lac Jeannine. We now expect to commence the infill drilling at the property in early 2025. This is not expected to delay the roll-out of this project and we remain very excited about the value proposition of Lac Jeannine."
"We have laid a solid foundation for our operational roll-out during 2024 and expect to commence the build-out of our projects towards H2 2025 with first revenue expected towards the end H2 2026, which, if successful, will be a significant achievement in the world of resource production."
The PEA for Lac Jeannine is preliminary in nature and is based on Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. As such there may be no certainty that the PEA will be realized.
