Belvedere Reports Financial and Operating Results for Q3 2011

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Nov. 28, 2011) - Belvedere Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture:BEL) ("Belvedere") is pleased to report financial and operating results for the Quarter ending September 30, 2011. The un-audited financial statements, and management's discussion and analysis have been filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Complete results are also available on SEDAR and on the Company's Website.

All currency amounts are expressed in euros (€) unless otherwise stated.

Financial Summary Q3 2011

  • Revenues of 5.82 million euros (C$8.03 million)
  • Net Income of 0.55 million euros (C$0.76 million)
  • Positive Operating margin (EBITDA) 0.9 million euros (C$1.24 million)

Key Operational Points Q3 2011

  • Jul 2011 - 6073m Drilling completed at Osikonmäki East and new high grade gold lode discovered
  • Aug 2011 - 4000m Resource delineation drilling starts at Kopsa gold copper deposit
  • Sep 2011 - 500m exploratory drill campaign starts at Antikanpera gold copper property
  • Sep 2011 - Phase 2 of the 7000m open pit definition drilling at Hitura nickel mine commences
  • Q3 2011 - Hitura milled 127,981 t of ore achieving 105% of production targets. 464 t (1.02 million pounds) of nickel was produced in concentrate, 18% below planned

David Pym (CEO) comments: "Management continued to invest heavily in exploration to fulfil the Company's goals of rapidly growing their nickel and gold properties. During the quarter the Company maintained positive cash flows from the nickel operations, allowing the Company to finance these expenses out of operational profit. The Company remains unaffected by the recent downturn in the nickel price as we continue to sell into a profitable fixed price contract."

During the third quarter:
  • The Hitura Mine produced 464t (1.02 million pounds) of nickel in concentrate, compared to the planned production of 568t, 18% below forecast.
  • The Company generated net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of €549,884 or €0.00 per share, which compares with a net loss of €48,944 for the previous quarter and, a loss of €797,253 or €0.01 per share reported for the same period (Q3) of fiscal 2010.
  • General and administrative expenses decreased to €482,138 (2010: €256,084) substantially as a consequence of lower stock compensation expense.
  • Other expense was €366,803 (Q3 2010 Income: €417,600) as a consequence of foreign exchange losses.
  • Working capital was negatively impacted by the transfer of €475,000 to restricted cash to cover the increase in the Hitura environmental bond.

Nickel Operations

During the third quarter, total milled tonnes were 5% greater than the planned 122,000 tonnes. Lower production in July reflects a planned two week maintenance shutdown of the mill and mine holidays. Nickel production was adversely impacted by continued low grades from the main production stopes. The situation has now normalised and grades have improved going into the 4th quarter. The low production grades were once again partially offset by better concentrate grades. However overall nickel tonnes in concentrate produced of 464 t (1.02 million pounds) was 18% below the target of 568 tonnes and 9% lower than in Q2, 2011. A similar pattern is repeated in the cobalt tonnes which totalled 18.3 t, 22% below the planned total of 24 tonnes.

Month Milled (t) Con (t) Ni t in Con. Ni lb in Con Co t in Con.
July 24,498 978 85 187,425 3.4
August 50,987 2,348 198 436,590 7.9
September 52,496 2,130 181 399,105 7.0
           
Q3 Total 127,981 5,456 464 1,023,120 18.3

Total operating costs for Q3 were as planned averaging €39.0 per milled ore tonne, compared to €36.8 and €38.0 per milled ore tonne in Q2 and Q1 respectively. The difference reflecting the higher costs/tonne in July due to scheduled mill shutdown maintenance and mine holidays. Total operating costs per pound of nickel in concentrate for Q3 averaged €4.87 (~US$6.57 based on USD:EUR of 1.35).
