TORONTO, Aug. 13, 2013 /CNW/ - St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (T-SAS) (OTCQX-STADF), ("SAS" or the "Company") reports a net loss attributable to shareholders for Q2 2013 of $1.1 million, or nil on a per share basis, compared to net income of $4.4 million, or $0.01 per share, for Q2 2012. For Q2 2013, adjusted net loss (1) was $0.9 million, or nil on a per share basis, compared to adjusted net earnings of $5.6 million, or $0.02 per share, for Q2 2012.
Net loss and adjusted net loss for the quarter were impacted by the significant decrease in the price of gold as well as an increase in non-cash depreciation and depletion expense of $3.8 million when compared to Q2 2012.
Cash provided by operating activities for Q2 2013 was $7.0 million or $0.02 per share, compared to $9.1 million or $0.02 per share in Q2 2012. Net cash outflow (1) for the quarter was $0.3 million as compared to net cash flow of $1.0 million in Q2 2012. Net cash flow was negatively impacted by a $3.2 million decrease in net changes in operating working capital during Q2 2013.
Production was in line with a total of 25,353 ounces of gold derived from the three operations. Cash costs during the quarter were below guidance, with mine cash costs of US$780 per ounce and total cash costs (1) (including royalty costs) of US$897 per ounce. SAS reiterates its 2013 production guidance of between 95,000 to 105,000 ounces of gold with mine cash costs between US$800 to US$850 per ounce.
Subsequent to quarter end, SAS announced that Jacques Perron, President & CEO, would be stepping down from his position to pursue a similar opportunity with another mining company effective October 31, 2013. SAS is currently conducting a search for Mr. Perron's replacement and will announce a successor as soon as one has been chosen. The goals and objectives of the Company as well as its ability to meet them are not affected by this change in leadership as the senior management team will continue to work with the Board of Directors to achieve its near-term objectives.
"We had another strong quarter of production, with cash costs coming in below guidance", said Jacques Perron, President & CEO of SAS. "Although we saw a slight net cash outflow due to one-time changes in operating working capital, we believe we will return to a net cash flow positive state in the second half of 2013. In light of the drastic fluctuation in the gold price at the end of the first quarter, we revised our capital expenditure programs, and at the end of the second quarter, we saw a substantial reduction in our overall level of spending. Grade improved at both Holloway and Hislop and we expect to transition mining at Hislop to the West Pit in the third quarter. We are poised to meet our production guidance for the year, and we are confident we will also meet or beat our cash cost guidance. "

Financial Performance
Gold sales revenues saw a slight decrease over Q2 2012 despite a US$192 per ounce decrease in the average realized price per ounce of gold sold (1). Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold (1) decreased by US$22 per ounce when compared to Q2 2012 mainly due to an increase in gold production and a reduction in royalty costs due to the decrease in the gold price. The increase in gold sales during the quarter offset by a 12% or US$192 per ounce decrease in the average realized price per ounce of gold sold (1) resulted in a $2.5 million decrease in cash margin from mine operations (1).
During the quarter, depreciation and depletion expenses increased by $3.8 million when compared to Q2 2012. The increase resulted from the depletion of mineral reserves and resources at the operations, and the loss of approximately 26,000 contained ounces in mineral reserves at Hislop as a result of the updated mineral reserves and resource model and pit optimization completed at year end 2012.
Mark-to-market on derivative instruments in Q2 2013 resulted in a gain of $0.7 million compared to a loss of $1.6 million in Q2 2012, due to the significant decline in the price of gold and the strengthening of the US dollar relative to Canadian dollar.
Holt Mine, Operations and Financial Review (see "Operating and Financial Statistics" at the end of this release)
During Q2 2013, the Holt Mine ("Holt") produced 13,706 ounces of gold, an increase of 22% over Q2 2012. Gold sales revenue increased by 14% when compared to Q2 2012 as a result of the increase in production offset by a decrease in the average realized price per ounce of gold sold (1).
Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold (1) decreased by US$46 per ounce or 5% from Q2 2012 mainly as a result of the increase in gold production sold and the reduction in royalty costs due to the decline in the price of gold.
Cash margin from mine operations (1) increased by $0.5 million over Q2 2012 due to the increase in production, offset partially by a decrease in the average realized price per ounce of gold sold (1). Holt contributed 68% of the total cash margin from mine operations (1) earned during the quarter.
Holt is expected to contribute approximately 55% of the Company's total gold production for 2013.
Holloway Mine, Operations and Financial Review (see "Operating and Financial Statistics" at the end of this release)
The Holloway Mine ("Holloway") produced 5,874 ounces of gold for Q2 2013, which is a slight decrease from the production level achieved in Q2 2012. For Q2 2013, ore grade improved by 14% while the mill recovery rate of 92.6% exceeded the Company's forecast recovery due to improved mineralogical conditions in the areas mined during the quarter. Development crews continue to provide access for additional areas within the Smoke Deep Zone ("Smoke Deep") in order to sustain the production profile for the mine. Underground definition drilling continued throughout the quarter with positive results.
Gold sales revenue for the quarter decreased by 20% when compared with Q2 2012 as a result of decrease in the average realized price per ounce of gold sold (1).
Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold (1) during the quarter increased by US$114 per ounce when compared to Q2 2012, mainly due to the decrease in throughput. Cash margin from mine operations (1) decreased by $2.0 million over Q2 2012 as a result of the increase in cash costs as well as the decrease in the average realized price per ounce of gold sold (1).
Holloway is expected to contribute approximately 23% of the Company's total gold production for 2013.
Hislop Mine, Operations and Financial Review (see "Operating and Financial Statistics" at the end of this release)
The Hislop Mine ("Hislop") produced 5,773 ounces of gold during Q2 2013. The head grade averaged 2.43 g/t Au, above reserve grade for the mine, with mill recoveries of 84%, which was in line with expectations.
Commercial gold production sold during the quarter was in line with that achieved in Q2 2012.
Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold (1) decreased by US$33 per ounce over Q2 2012 as a result of higher head grade.
Hislop is expected to contribute approximately 22% of the Company's total gold production for 2012.
Taylor Project Update ("Taylor")
During Q2 2013, SAS processed approximately 8,500 tonnes of the bulk sample from the 1008 lens, at an average grade of 2.65 g/t Au, and recovered 686 ounces of gold. Mill recovery of 95.2% was above expectations, especially considering the grade of the material processed, and mill throughput averaged 128 tonnes per hour. Reconciled and calculated head grades from the bulk sample correlated within 15% of the face chip samples and the tower sampling program. This validated the Company's process for forecasting grades at Taylor, which is important in this type of coarse gold environment.
At the beginning of Q2 2013, SAS made the decision to advance the ramp in order to provide an optimal drill platform to focus a drill program on the 1004 lens, which is slated to be the site of the second bulk sample. This is the location of approximately 91% of the reserves and is better drill defined than the 1008 lens. The results of this phase of drilling are expected before the end of August. The results of this drill program and the gold price environment will be the determining factors on the rate of advancement of Taylor.
Exploration Projects
Exploration activities during Q2 2013 were focussed on the targets at Holloway and Hislop which totalled approximately 18,000 metres of drilling.
Holloway Mine - Smoke Deep and Sediment Zones
Drilling during the quarter focussed on both the near surface, and the down dip and down plunge extension of Smoke Deep to the east. Surface drilling also targeted the near surface extension of the Sediment Zone. Approximately 6,700 metres were drilled from surface and approximately 1,000 metres were drilled from the 550m Level drift underground.
Hislop Mine - Hislop North Project ("Hislop North") and Hislop Pit Complex
Drilling at Hislop North focussed on tightening the drill spacing on the 147 and Grey Fox zone extensions, from the claim boundary towards the pit with phase 1 drilling now complete. SAS is pleased to report near surface intersections over significant widths were intercepted in hole H13-003A, which returned 4.43 g/t Au over 20.2 metres (5.25g/t Au uncut), including 12.81 g/t Au over 3.8 metres (16.44 g/t Au uncut); and H13-013, which returned 8.32 g/t Au over 6.4 metres, including 13.42 g/t Au over 2.9 metres (see press release dated August 7, 2013, available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com or on the Company's website at www.sasgoldmines.com).
During the quarter, one surface drill continued to test for the depth extension beneath the West and East pits with approximately 10,700 metres completed at the end of the quarter. Recent drill results highlighted well mineralized intercepts being reported below both the East and West pits. Hole HP13-010 returned 3.06g/t Au over 21.8 metres, including 5.30g/t Au over 8.2 metres, which is situated approximately 75 metres below the bottom of the West Pit. The mineralized zone remains open at depth. Drilling below the East Pit returned strong mineralization in Hole HP13-017 which assayed 3.37 g/t Au over 17.6 metres including 15.60 g/t Au over 2.2 metres, which is situated approximately 200 metres below the bottom of the current East Pit. The mineralized zone remains open at depth (see press release dated August 7, 2013, available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com or on the Company's website at www.sasgoldmines.com).
Capital Resources
SAS generated cash flow from operations in Q2 2013 of $7.0 million, a decrease of $2.1 million from Q2 2012. The decrease in cash flow from Q2 2012 was mainly due to the decline in the gold price during the quarter, which resulted in a $2.5 million decrease in cash margin from mine operations (1) over Q2 2012.
At June 30, 2013, the Company's working capital was $16.5 million as compared to a working capital of $18.2 million as at December 31, 2012. The decrease in working capital of $1.7 million from December 31, 2012, is primarily the result of a net decrease of $4.2 million in operating working capital due to mark-to-market positions of derivative instruments, offset somewhat by the Company's realignment of mine operating working capital to meet the current mine plan.
At the end of Q2 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $31.5 million. The Company has access to additional cash resources by way of an undrawn US$10.0 million revolving credit facility.
During the quarter, the price of gold declined significantly to a level which impacted the Company's cash flow and operating results. During the quarter, the Company revised its operating and capital expenditure programs with the objective to maintain a strong financial position. The Company believes that it is able to generate net cash flow at an average gold price of US$1,300 per ounce without any significant reduction or curtailment of its current operating plans. The Company continues to monitor this risk and will revise its operating plans accordingly in order to ensure its near-term and long-term cash flow objectives are met. SAS expects to incur a total of $9.8 million in capital expenditures at the two underground mines, the Holt Mill, and at Taylor (see table below).

Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold
Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold is a non-GAAP performance measure and may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. The Company has included this non-GAAP performance measure throughout this document as the Company believes that this generally accepted industry performance measure provides a useful indication of the Company's operational performance. 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. Accordingly, it 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. The following table provides a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce of gold sold to production expenses per the Financial Report for Q2 2013:

Mine-site cost per tonne milled
Mine-site cost per tonne milled is a non-GAAP performance measure and may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. As illustrated in the table below, this measure is calculated by adjusting Production Costs, as shown in the statements of operations, for inventory level changes and then dividing by tonnes processed through the mill. Since total cash cost per ounce of gold sold data can be affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, Management believes that mine-site cost per tonne milled provides additional information regarding the performance of mining operations and allows Management to monitor operating costs on a more consistent basis as the per tonne milled measure eliminates the cost variability associated with varying production levels. Management also uses this measure to determine the economic viability of mining blocks. As each mining block is evaluated based on the net realizable value of each tonne mined, the estimated revenue on a per tonne basis must be in excess of the mine-site cost per tonne milled in order to be economically viable. Management is aware that this per tonne milled measure is impacted by fluctuations in throughput and thus uses this evaluation tool in conjunction with production costs prepared in accordance with IFRS. This measure supplements production cost information prepared in accordance with IFRS and allows investors to distinguish between changes in production costs resulting from changes in production versus changes in operating performance.

Cash margin from mine operations
Cash margin from mine operations is a non-GAAP measure which may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. It is calculated as the difference between gold sales and production costs (comprised of mine-site operating costs and production royalties) per the Company's Financial Reports. The Company believes it illustrates the performance of the Company's operating mines and enables investors to better understand the Company's performance in comparison to other gold producers who present results on a similar basis.

Notes:
| (1) | Hislop commenced commercial production on July 1, 2010. |
| (2) | Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold, mine-site cost per tonne milled and cash margin from mine operations are non-GAAP measures and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation (see "non-GAAP Measures" herein for an explanation and reconciliation of non-GAAP measurements). |
| (3) | Hislop is subject to a 4% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") which includes a minimum Advance royalty payment obligation (see "Gold-linked Liabilities" in Q2 2013 MD&A). |
