The earnings call presented a mixed outlook with strong revenue and production growth offset by reduced guidance and increased costs due to power issues. The company's expansion and exploration efforts show promise, but safety and operational challenges remain.
Company Guidance
During the Ivanhoe Mines third quarter 2024 earnings call, the company provided several important metrics and guidance updates. The ramp-up of their Phase 3 concentrator was highlighted, which is expected to increase annual production capacity to 600,000 tonnes of copper, with projections of slightly less production in 2025 and reaching over 600,000 tonnes per annum by 2026 following the completion of Project 95. The company achieved record quarterly revenue of $828 million, despite a decrease in realized copper prices to $4.16 per pound and an increased copper inventory of 16,000 tonnes. Cash costs were reported at $1.69 per pound of payable copper. A reduced guidance was announced due to power supply issues earlier in the year, which resulted in a production loss of approximately 56,000 tonnes of copper. Ivanhoe also discussed the progress of their Kamoa-Kakula smelter, which is 94% complete, with commissioning expected in Q1 2025. Additionally, exploration at the Western Foreland is progressing with 11 rigs in operation. The company plans to provide further guidance and updates on production and exploration plans early next year.
Record Quarterly Revenue
Kamoa-Kakula achieved record quarterly revenue of $828 million for Q3, despite a decrease in the realized copper price.
Phase 3 Concentrator Ramp-Up
The Phase 3 concentrator achieved nameplate capacity in early October, indicating strong potential for increased production.
Western Foreland Expansion
Ivanhoe Mines added 336 square kilometers to the Western Forelands and increased drilling rigs to 11, indicating significant exploration progress.
Kipushi Zinc Mine Progress
Kipushi mine achieved recoveries north of 90% with a concentrate grade well above 50% zinc, aiming to reach nameplate capacity by Q1 2025.
