Sheffield Resources Limited ( (AU:SFX) ) has issued an update.
Sheffield Resources has disclosed that Kimberley Mineral Sands, the 50:50 joint venture that owns the Thunderbird Mineral Sands Mine, has secured further waivers and deferrals on recent interest, principal repayments and covenant obligations from lenders Sheng Feng and NAIF. These concessions follow Sheng Feng’s acquisition of Orion’s production-linked loan note facility, but negotiations to permanently reshape the senior debt remain ongoing with no assurance of a final agreement.
Operational headwinds at Thunderbird, including a DMU outage, reduced dozer availability, lower contractor productivity and seasonal weather, have weighed on cash flow and forced KMS to seek additional working capital. Yansteel has provided US$3.1 million in ilmenite prepayments to bridge near-term liquidity needs, yet Sheffield warns there is no certainty shareholders will continue to fund future requirements, underscoring financing risk around the project and its senior loan facilities.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SFX) stock is a Sell with a A$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sheffield Resources Limited stock, see the AU:SFX Stock Forecast page.
