Minto Receives Second Revenue Payment of US$3.7m

London, United Kingdom - Pembridge Resources plc (LSE: PERE) ("Pembridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to the restart of operations on 15 October 2019 and first revenue of US$3.4m received on 6 November 2019, pursuant to the offtake agreement between Sumitomo Canada Limited ("Sumitomo") and Minto Explorations Ltd ("Minto") dated 22 July 2019 (the "Offtake Agreement"), Minto has received a 90% provisional payment ("Advanced Payment") of US$3.7m for the copper concentrate produced during the month of November 2019 ("Second Revenue").

Highlights

·     1,793 dry metric tonnes of concentrate was produced during November 2019

·     Second Revenue received by Minto of US$3.7m from Sumitomo

·     Sales includes content for copper, gold and silver in concentrate

Under the terms of the Offtake Agreement, an Advanced Payment has been made by Sumitomo to Minto for 90% of the estimated value of concentrate produced at the Minto mine during the month of November 2019. The final, balancing payment ("Final Invoice") will be paid on delivery to Japan, subject to the quotation period as per the terms of the Offtake Agreement. The Final Invoice will consist of the remaining 10%, plus or minus any commodity price changes to the Advanced Payments made, less accrued interest. Transportation and shipping of the copper concentrate is expected to commence in early Q1 2020.

In addition to the copper revenue, the Advance Payments include precious metals credits and therefore Minto receives 90% of the revenue from the copper, gold and silver due under the terms of the Offtake Agreement.

Gati Al-Jebouri, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Pembridge stated: 

"This payment, for production in November 2019, is the second monthly Advanced Payment made to Minto from Sumitomo, bringing total payments received to over US$7.0m since Minto recommenced production 7 weeks ago. It proves the operation's ability to generate steady cash flow as operations ramp up. It is the objective of Minto mine management, with the oversight from Pembridge, to ensure that production continues to grow while ensuring an efficient and cost-effective operation."
