FINRA still hasn't killed ticker from the merger. Old ATLGF should disappear in the near future.
May truly be the case with ol’ ATLGF.
Have to do a bit of DD on the buyer.
Otherwise, nothing else happening.

Atlas Iron Ltd. Statement and Independent Expect Report
http://www.atlasiron.com.au/site/PDF/8413_1/Target39sStatementandIndependentExpert39sReport
Atlas Iron Limited (ATLGF) provides revised cost guidance
http://www.atlasiron.com.au/site/PDF/8337_1/FinancialUpdate
Atlas Iron Limited (ASX: AGO) provides revised cost guidance and advises that it is likely to make
a non-cash impairment to the carrying value of its producing assets at 30 June 2018.
FY2018 Guidance
The Company remains on track to meet iron ore tonnes shipped of 9-10 mt for FY2018, albeit at
the lower end of that range. In light of the lower iron ore volumes, elevated sea freight and fuel
prices, the Company updates guidance for FY2018 as follows:
FY2018 Guidance
at August 2017
Revised FY2018
Guidance at May 2018
Iron ore tonnes shipped (m wmt) 9 – 10 9 – 10
C1 cash cost (A$/wmt FOB) 37 – 39 39 – 40
Full cash cost (A$/wmt CFR China) 54 – 58 58 – 59
Atlas expects to ship 45,000 tonnes of manganese lump by 30 June 2018.
With lithium crushing operations at Mt Dove underway, Atlas remains on track to export its first
shipment of lithium direct shipping ore in June 2018.
Impairment
The Company last reviewed impairment at 31 December 2017. In its Half Year Financial
Statements, the Company provided calculations showing that the carrying value of its assets is
particularly sensitive to assumptions around production costs and realised iron ore price.1
Consistent with these calculations, adverse movements in ongoing discounts applied to the
Company’s lower-grade iron ore coupled with elevated sea freight and fuel prices are increasing
the likelihood of an impairment at 30 June 2018.
The Company recorded an operating loss during the March 2018 Quarter. Atlas recorded an
average sale price of A$59/wmt and full cash costs of A$62/wmt for the month of April 2018 on
volume of 0.7m wmt.
If these challenging market conditions persist, a non-cash impairment charge in a $75-100 million
range is likely to be recorded in the Company’s FY2018 Financial Statements. Final impairment
will not be known until the Company’s FY2018 Financial Statements are finalised and audited in
August 2018.
An impairment charge will not affect the Company’s cash flow or compliance with debt obligations.

Atlas to export manganese: part of diversification plan
http://www.atlasiron.com.au/site/PDF/8306_1/Atlastoexportmanganeseaspartofdiversificationplan
Atlas Iron Limited (ASX: AGO) is pleased to advise that it has taken another step in its strategy to diversify its product mix, finalising an agreement which will see the Company exporting manganese within the next month. Atlas has sought to capitalise on the strength of the current manganese lump market with an arrangement under which up to 100,000 tonnes of product will be mined and crushed on a campaign basis by privately-owned Horseshoe Manganese Pty Ltd and then loaded onto road trains for transport from the Murchison mine site. Atlas will purchase the manganese as it reaches the north Pilbara over a four-month period, subject to finalising port approvals and offtake arrangements. Atlas will maximise port efficiency and minimise freight charges by exporting manganese as part of split shipments from its Utah Point facilities. Atlas will load the manganese into a dedicated hold of vessels chartered for iron ore. Atlas has prepared its logistics chain to handle manganese lump at a very low capital cost and without affecting current iron ore or scheduled lithium production. Atlas Managing Director Cliff Lawrenson said that although the initial volumes are modest, the arrangement highlighted Atlas’ ability work co-operatively with other mining companies and to leverage its existing infrastructure. “This manganese opportunity compliments the strong additional cashflow we will soon be generating from our new lithium operations, again without material capital investment thanks to our existing logistics infrastructure,” Mr Lawrenson said. “As part of our product diversification strategy, we will continue to look for opportunities which allow us to utilise our existing skills base and infrastructure.”

Atlas to export Pilgangoora lithium DSO to Sinosteel
http://www.atlasiron.com.au/site/PDF/8304_1/AtlastoexportPilgangooralithiumDSOtoSinosteel
Atlas Iron Limited (ASX: AGO) is pleased to advise that it has signed an agreement with Sinosteel Australia Pty Ltd for the export of lithium direct shipping ore (DSO) sourced from the Pilgangoora Lithium Project owned by Pilbara Minerals Limited (ASX: PLS). Atlas will sell up to 1.5 million tonnes of lithium DSO to Sinosteel over a 15-month period on a fixed priced basis. As part of the arrangement, Sinosteel will advance funds to cover prepayments due to Pilbara Minerals for DSO mine development costs. Pilbara Minerals has commenced an expedited mining program for the lithium DSO. Atlas will process and transport the ore using its existing infrastructure, including its Mt Dove crushing hub and Utah Point facilities (see announcement dated 19 December 2017 for further details). Atlas will prepare its logistics chain to handle lithium DSO at a very low capital cost and without affecting current iron ore production. After allowing for payments to Pilbara Minerals and its own costs, Atlas expects to generate an operating margin of $15-20 per tonne. Atlas is on track to satisfy remaining conditions precedent in coming weeks to allow first exports to commence in the June 2018 Quarter.

Stuart McKinnon - Friday, January 06, 2017 12:22AM
Shares in resurgent iron ore miner Atlas Iron were up sharply today after the company announced yesterday it expected its bank balance to exceed its debts by the middle of this year, after making a repaying of $54 million. Yesterday’s announcement, which was made after market close, sent shares in the miner up 0.4 cents, or 14.82 per cent, to 3.1 cents by the close after the stock hit an intraday high of 3.3 cents, its highest since March last year.
Atlas said yesterday it ended the December quarter with $134 million cash on hand, up from $95 million at the end of September. However, under cash sweep requirements from its lenders, any cash on hand at the end of each quarter in excess of $80 million must be repaid. The repayment of $54 million reduces the company’s US term loan debt to $118 million, down from $180 million in May last year following its forced restructure.
“The significant increase in cash came after making principal and interest payments of $20 million during the December 2016 quarter and $3 million in repayments to the WA Government in relation to the royalty relief program,” the company said in a statement after the market close.
Atlas’ turnaround is mainly attributable to a big rebound in the price of iron ore last year. Iron ore soared 81 per cent in 2016, hitting a two-year high of $US83.59 a tonne on December 12. It was trading at $US77.25 a tonne yesterday.
The company said it was well-positioned to continue its strong performance in the March quarter because of hedging contracts in place that protected it against downside in the spot iron ore price.
Interim managing director Daniel Harris said the company had enjoyed a remarkable financial turnaround from its position prior to the restructure early last year.
“Atlas is now on track to be in a net cash position by the middle of this year,” he said. “This markedly stronger balance sheet will help make Atlas more resilient and better-placed to capitalise on its opportunities, including the development of the Corunna Downs project.” The company said it would release its December quarter report later this month.
Atlas Iron’s new managing director Cliff Lawrenson will start at the company this month.
And in other positive news for the company, its new managing director and chief executive, former FerrAus boss, Cliff Lawrenson is expected to start on Monday, January 16, instead of Wednesday, February 1, as previously advised. With Mr Lawrenson joining the board, Tony Walsh will resign as a director but remain as the company secretary.

Atlas Iron's Tentative Turnaround - Financial TImes 1/15/17
http://www.afr.com/business/mining/iron-ore/atlas-irons-tentative-turnaround-20170113-gtrbl4
Atlas is an independent Australian iron ore company, mining and exporting Direct Shipping Ore from its operations in the Northern Pilbara region of Western Australia.
"That Atlas Iron could be in a net cash position within a few months is staggering."
"Most of it comes down to the gradual recovery in the iron ore price to about $US80 a tonne and the impact that price has on Atlas' profitability and restructured balance sheet."
"Making cash - Atlas' first market announcement in 2017 reflected its newfound position well. The junior said its cash on hand increased by $39 million to $134 million during the December quarter."
Atlas Gold LTD, ATLGF changed to Atlas Iron Ltd., ATLGF.
