U
PDATE ON MINING CONTRACTS RENEWAL AT THE YING MINING DISCTRICT
The Company updates that the Company has successfully negotiated and renewed contracts with all mining contractors at the Ying Mining District, except one that worked at the LME mine. The renewed contracts with terms of two to three years represent an overall 14.5% increase compared to previous contracts, reflecting i) increased social welfare contribution for the contractors’ workers; ii) increased insurance coverage for contractors’ workers; and iii) increases in the prices per tonne ore mined and per meter of tunneling developed by contractors. Based on the renewed contracts and assuming the same work done in Fiscal 2021, the total annual increase is estimated at
$5.0 million
; however, this is expected to be offset by reduced tunneling going forward as recent drilling activities in previously mining areas has defined resources that require minimal development.
The previous mining contractor at the LME mine was terminated as no agreement was able to reach. The Company has hired most of the previous workers to work at the mine as internal contractors.
