Dundee Precious Metals Announces Second Quarter Production Results, Additional Commodity Hedging and Timing of Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 7, 2016) -Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX:DPM) ('DPM' or 'the Company') announced its mine and smelter production results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, additional 2016 and 2017 commodity hedging and confirmed the timing of the release of second quarter operating and financial results, together with the related conference call and webcast.

On a consolidated basis, ore milled, metals production and complex concentrate smelted in the first six months of 2016 were in line with the Company's current guidance, reflecting the sale of the Kapan Mine.

Production Highlights

Second quarter mine and metals production at the Chelopech and Kapan mines and complex concentrate smelted at the Tsumeb smelter are provided below.

  1. Kapan second quarter results reflect one month of production prior to the completion of the sale to Polymetal International plc on April 28, 2016.
  2. As disclosed in Management's Discussion and Analysis ('MD&A') for the period ended March 31, 2016, issued on May 4, 2016.

Second quarter Chelopech copper and gold production was in line with the 2016 mine plan. Grades in the first half of 2016 are higher than the grades expected in the second half of 2016, as planned. Chelopech remains on track to achieve 2016 guidance.

At the Tsumeb smelter, smelting rates remained in line with 2016 guidance. The new converters were brought on line during the second quarter and have performed as expected.

The planned Ausmelt maintenance shutdown commenced on June 18 with expected completion on July 11, at which point the furnace reheat process will begin. The smelter is expected to meet 2016 guidance.

The Krumovgrad approval process continues to advance in line with Company expectations. During the quarter, the Company completed the land purchase process, and submitted an application to the Krumovgrad Municipality for a construction permit. Issue of the construction permit is expected imminently, and the Company remains on track to commence construction in the second half of 2016, as planned.

Commodity Hedging

In June 2016, the Company entered into additional commodity hedges to reduce its near-term commodity price exposure and, in turn, support the advancement of its growth initiatives. In particular, the Company entered into option contracts covering 6,600 ounces of gold, representing approximately 10% of its projected payable production for the balance of 2016, and 45,000 ounces of gold, representing approximately 30% of its projected payable production for 2017. These contracts, which had a zero upfront cash cost, provide for the Company to receive a minimum price of $1,200 per ounce of gold, and maximum prices of $1,484 and $1,497 per ounce of gold for the balance of 2016 and 2017, respectively. In June 2016, the Company also entered into additional copper swap contracts in respect of approximately 14,550,000 pounds of copper, representing approximately 38% of its 2017 projected copper production, at an average price of $2.17 per pound of copper. These hedges, together with the Company's recent equity issue, were undertaken primarily to increase the Company's financial flexibility and available cash resources to support advancing its growth initiatives.

Second Quarter Results

The Company's second quarter 2016 operating and financial results are expected to be released after market close on Thursday, July 28, 2016. The press release, MD&A and consolidated financial statements will be posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.dundeeprecious.com.

The Company will hold a call and webcast to discuss its second quarter results on Friday, July 29, 2016 at 9:00 am EST. The call will be hosted by Rick Howes, President and Chief Executive Officer, who will be joined by Hume Kyle, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, together with other members of the executive management team. The call will be accessible via a live webcast and by telephone.
