VANCOUVER, May 1, 2014 /CNW/ - Sandstorm Gold Ltd. ("Sandstorm" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT: SAND, TSX: SSL) has released its unaudited results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014 (all figures in U.S. dollars).

FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Strong balance sheet with over $110 million in cash.
  • Revenue of $15.3 million.
  • Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces sold1 of 11,966 ounces, which includes 1,849 of attributable gold ounces from our portfolio of royalties.
  • Average cash cost per ounce1 of $355 resulting in cash operating margins1 of $923 per ounce.
  • Operating cash flow of $9.2 million (excluding changes in non-cash working capital).
  • Net income of $3.8 million.
  • Exercised option to purchase an amount equal to 20% of the gold produced from the Santa Elena underground mine. In consideration and as complemented in the original purchase agreement, Sandstorm agreed to make an upfront payment of $10 million which represents approximately 20% of the upfront capital expenditures relating to gold production and will continue to make ongoing per ounce payments equal to $350 until 50,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to Sandstorm (inclusive of ounces already received from open-pit production), at which time the ongoing per ounce payments will increase to $450.

Sandstorm's President and CEO, Nolan Watson commented, "Most of the mines underlying Sandstorm's gold streams are in production and ramping up, which has helped to offset the effects of the current gold price environment that we find ourselves in." Watson continued, "We expect to see consistent production over the next few quarters and as we continue to add to our cash balance, our focus is to put that cash to use by acquiring new streams and royalties."

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue and Gold Sales

Revenue was $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2014, generated from the sale of 11,966 attributable gold equivalent ounces. Revenue declined slightly compared with the comparable period in 2013, largely due to a 22% decrease in the average realized selling price of gold which was partially offset by a 27% increase in the number of attributable gold equivalent ounces sold.

Costs and Expenses

The average cash cost per attributable ounce was $355 during the period, resulting in a cash operating margin of $923 per ounce. Compared to the first quarter of 2013, the cash operating margin decreased by 26%, driven by a lower average realized gold price. The Company is on track to meet its cost reduction commitments, decreasing administrative expenses by $1.1 million and project evaluation by $0.4 million compared with the comparable period in 2013.

Earnings and Operating Cash Flow

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net income and cash flow from operations were $3.8 million and $9.2 million (excluding changes in non-cash working capital), respectively, compared with a net loss and cash flow from operations of $17.6 million and $9.0 million (excluding changes in non-cash working capital) for the comparable period in 2013.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased by $20.6 million from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 primarily resulting from  operating cash flows and the exercise of warrants, which were partially offset by depletion expense. At the end of the first quarter, the Company had $111 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $112.8 million. In addition, the Company has $100.0 million in available capital under its revolving bank debt facility.

STREAMS AND ROYALTIES

The Company's stream and royalty segments for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are summarized in the table below:

Black Fox 1,449   1,845   737   1,035   73   1,108
Ming 400   521   -   367   155   521
Santa Elena 1,530   1,979   535   931   513   1,444
Royalties 1,849   2,363   -   1,667   695   1,334
Corporate -   -   -   -   (913)   (438)
Consolidated 11,966 $ 15,295 $ 4,249 $ 6,101 $ 4,032 $ 7,025

Attributable gold equivalent ounces sold were 11,966 in the quarter, an increase of 27% from the comparable period in 2013. The increase is largely attributable to increased production from Luna Gold Corp.'s ("Luna") Aurizona mine in Brazil ("Aurizona") and Metanor Resources Inc.'s ("Metanor") Bachelor Lake mine in Quebec ("Bachelor Lake"), partially offset by a decrease in production from Primero Mining Corp.'s Black Fox mine in Ontario.

Aurizona Mine

Sandstorm sold close to 4,000 ounces of attributable gold from Aurizona during the quarter representing a 23% increase from the first quarter of 2013. The increase is largely related to Luna's continued ramp up of operations and progress towards the Phase 1 Expansion. Luna is well capitalized as they closed a $20 million equity financing in February 2014, have $4.2 million in committed capital coming from Sandstorm for the Phase 1 Expansion project and subsequent to the end of the first quarter, Sandstorm advanced a $10 million loan to Luna as part of a previously announced $20 million loan commitment ($10 million was advanced in 2013).

Bachelor Lake Mine

Compared to the first quarter of 2013, an additional 1,261 gold ounces were sold from the Bachelor Lake Mine . The increase is primarily related to the mine recently reaching commercial production and the continued ramp up of operations. Metanor recently announced positive results from its underground drilling campaign at Bachelor Lake. The intention of the campaign is to increase the resources at the mine.

Black Fox Mine

Attributable gold ounces sold from the Black Fox Mine decreased by 35% compared to the first quarter of 2013. The decline is primarily driven from insufficient underground development resulting in lower production during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Primero, the new owner/operator of the mine, recently announced that it intends on spending over $40 million on capital projects and exploration activities at Black Fox in 2014. The objective is to increase underground production such that 120,000 ounces of gold are produced annually from the mine. Primero also intends on achieving a mining and processing target of approximately 1,000 tonnes of ore per day by the end of 2014.

OUTLOOK

Based on the existing gold streams and NSRs, attributable gold equivalent production for 2014 is forecasted to be between 40,000 to 50,000 attributable gold equivalent ounces, increasing to approximately 60,000 attributable gold equivalent ounces per annum by 2016. This growth is largely driven by the Company's portfolio of gold streams with mines, most of which are either currently producing or expected to commence production by 2015.

WEBCAST AND CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS

A conference call will be held on Friday, May 2, 2014 starting at 9:00am PDT to further discuss the first quarter results. To participate in the conference call use the following dial-in numbers:

To access an audio webcast of the conference call, use the following link: http://momentumstreaming.com/player/index.php?id=109048. The webcast will also be available on the Sandstorm website.

Sandstorm's Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and Financial Statements for the first quarter will be accessible on the Company's website and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Company has also completed a Form 6-K filing with the SEC that will be accessible on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.  Shareholders can request a hard copy of the MD&A and Financial Statements by emailing [email protected].

Note 1: Sandstorm has included certain performance measures in this press release that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including average cash cost per ounce of gold and cash operating margin. Average cash cost per ounce of gold is calculated by dividing the total cost of sales, less depletion, by the ounces sold. In the precious metals mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow. Cash operating margin is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost per ounce of gold from the average realized selling price per ounce of gold. The Company presents cash operating margin as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. The Company's royalty income is converted to an attributable gold equivalent ounce basis by dividing the royalty income for that period by the average realized gold price per ounce from the Company's gold streams for the same respective period. These Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces when combined with the gold ounces sold from the Company's Gold Streams equal total Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces sold.  The Company has also used the non-IFRS measure of Operating cash flows excluding changes in non-cash working capital.  This measure is calculated by adding back the decrease in changes in non-cash working capital to Cash generated by operating activities.  The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently.
