Vancouver, B.C. -- Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the "Company") has filed the results for the year ended July 31, 2014 for the Company and its mining operations. The full version of the Company's Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis can be viewed on the Company's website at www.starcore.com, or SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS and all dollar amounts are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Year Ended July 31, 2014 Highlights:
Earnings from mining operations was $8.6 million, or 26% of gross revenue, compared to $8.3 million, or 27% of gross revenue, in the prior year.
Earnings before income taxes for the year was $5.0 million compared to $4.1 million for the prior year. Net Earnings after taxes for the year was $3.0 million, or $0.02 per share compared to $4.7 million, or $0.03 per share for the prior year.
In 2014 Tax Reform in Mexico created a 7.5% Special Mining Duty ("SMD"). The Company has taken the position that the SMD is an income tax under International Accounting Standard. As a result of these Tax Reform changes, the Company recognized a one-time non-cash deferred income tax expense of $2.4 million due to the future income tax impact of the SMD.
The mine improved ore grade for the year averaging 2.55 g/t and 24.2 g/t for gold and silver, respectively, compared to 2.36 g/t and 21.0 g/t for the prior year, respectively.
Overall metal production was much higher for the year at 24,000 equivalent ounces ("EqOz"), compared to 20,100 EqOz in the previous year. This is mainly as a result of improved ore grades and due to ore recovery issues experienced in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013.
Mine operating cash costs decreased overall to US$750/EqOz compared to US$844/EqOz in the previous year due mainly to higher recovery and metal production. All-in Sustaining Costs, which includes sustaining capital expenditures, exploration, reclamation, corporate and administrative and share-based compensation cost were US$1,093/EqOz, compared to US$1,194 in the prior year.
"We continue to build on the strengths of our mine, being low costs and consistent production, reaching our targets each year. We are currently in a very good cash position, even after having paid our first dividend last month of $2.9 million." said Robert Eadie, President and CEO of Starcore.
