All dollar amounts are stated in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated

TORONTO, May 12, 2015 /CNW/ - St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (T-SAS), ("SAS" or the "Company") reports $9.5 million or $0.03 per share, in operating cash flow for Q1 2015. The Company also reports net earnings attributable to shareholders for Q1 2015 of $3.0 million or $0.01 per share, compared to net loss of $1.8 million, or nil, on a per share basis, in Q1 2014. Excluding marked-to-market losses on derivative instruments, adjusted net earnings ⁽¹⁾ for Q1 2015 was $3.4 million or $0.01 per share as compared to an adjusted net loss ⁽¹⁾ of $1.9 million or $0.01 share for Q1 2014.

Q1 2015 HIGHLIGHTS

Gold production – Produced 23,727 ounces of gold from Holt and Holloway, down 3% from Q1 2014, without the production contribution from Hislop.

Gold sold - Sold 24,951 ounces of gold at an average realized price ⁽¹⁾ of US$1,213 per ounce for revenues of $36.8 million, reflecting a 10% increase in revenue from Q1 2014.

Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold ⁽¹⁾ – US$717 per ounce of gold sold, reflecting, a decrease of 12% from Q1 2014.

All-in sustaining cost (AISC) ⁽¹⁾ - Decreased by 14% or US$152 per ounce from Q1 2014 to US$937 per ounce of gold sold in Q1 2015.

Cash margin from operations ⁽¹⁾ - Increased by 29% from Q1 2014 to $14.5 million earned in Q1 2015.

Operating cash flow - SAS generated $9.5 million or $0.03 per share, in operating cash flow for Q1 2015. Net cash flow ⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $4.9 million as compared to $1.5 million achieved in Q1 2014.

Outlook for 2015

SAS is on schedule to meet its  2015 annual production guidance of between 85,000 – 95,000 ounces of gold from Holt and Holloway with similar mine cash cost estimates as in 2014 of between US$750 and US$800 per ounce of gold sold. The Company is advancing Taylor into production expected before the end of 2015. If commercial production is achieved during the third quarter, this could result in Taylor contributing between 10,000 and 12,000 ounces of production. The Taylor production will be included in the Company's production forecast once the timing is better understood.

 "The first quarter got off to a strong start with our production 11% above our forecast and mine cash costs significantly below our guidance," said Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO of SAS. "So far 2015 has proven to be a very positive year for SAS with a 25% increase in proven and probable reserves, a large discovery of 1 million ounces of inferred resources to the west of the Holt Mine, the continued successful mine exploration program and mine life extension at Holloway, and the advancement of the Taylor Project toward commercial production. The low Canadian dollar has benefited SAS since the start of 2015, as we continue to add cash to the bank and remain debt free. We are excited for the upcoming developments within the Company, as we continue on the path to increasing production, lowering costs, and enhancing shareholder value."

Mine Operations Review

Holt (see Operating and Financial Statistics – Holt Mine on page 13)
Both throughput and ore grade decreased slightly by 4% from Q1 2014 which resulted in an 8% decrease in gold production. The lower throughput, the higher production stoping and mine services costs for the quarter, resulted in an 11% increase to the cost per tonne of ore milled, from $96 per tonne in Q1 2014 to $107 per tonne in Q1 2015. Mine cash costs, in US dollar terms, increased marginally by US$2 an ounce of gold sold as a result of the strong US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

Holloway (see Operating and Financial Statistics – Holloway Mine on page 14)
Both throughput and ore grade increased by 6% and 35%, respectively, from Q1 2014 resulting in an 50% increase in gold production from 5,154 ounces of gold in Q1 2014 to 7,575 ounces in Q1 2015. Mine site cost in Q1 2015 of $151 per tonne of ore milled was comparable to those achieved in Q1 2014. Mine cash cost per ounce of gold sold in US dollar terms decreased by US$403 an ounce as a result of the strong US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

Taylor Project
Underground development activities started at Taylor during Q1 2015 after the decision was made to advance the project into commercial production by the end of 2015. A total of 243 metres ("m") of lateral development was completed during the quarter. The main focus is to continue the ramp development to access additional mining fronts within the 1004 lens and to develop a second egress for emergency purposes. All permitting requirements, including the mine production closure plan, are currently underway.

Exploration Programs

Exploration activities during Q1 2015 continued to focus on the near mine targets, specifically exploring for strike and depth extensions of the known mineralized zones and also exploring for potential repetitions and satellite zones situated near the operations. In Q1 2015, SAS using 3 surface drills, completed a total of 5,600m of surface core and using 3 underground drills completed an additional 7,340m of underground drilling. The majority of surface drilling activities were focused on Phase 2 evaluation of Holt Deep Zone 4 Extension and Mattawasaga pit extension drilling at Holt, and on exploring the southerly strike extension of 147 Zone mineralization on the Hislop North property. The majority of the underground drilling took place on the 1055m Sublevel at Holt targeting the Zone 4 extension, and on the 945m Sub-level at Holloway to evaluate the easterly strike potential of Smoke Deep.

Capital Resources

SAS generated $4.9 million in net cash flow ⁽¹⁾ in Q1 2015 as compared to $1.5 million in Q1 2014, despite a 6% decline in gold price. Working capital at the end of quarter was $15.7 million, an increase of $6.1 million from $9.6 million at the end of 2014. The Company maintained a cash position of $25.7 million at the end of the quarter and also has available US$10.0 million revolving credit facility. In conjunction with the expected cash flows from operations, the Company is well positioned to finance its planned sustaining capital programs, the growth capital required for Taylor and to conduct its planned exploration programs for 2015.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Adjusted net earnings (loss)
Adjusted net earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP performance measure and does not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS, and may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. Adjusted net earnings (loss) is calculated by removing the gains and losses, resulting from the mark-to-market revaluation of the Company's gold-linked liabilities and foreign currency derivative contracts, one-time gains or losses on the disposition of non-core assets, periodic adjustments to the Company's asset retirement obligations, and expenses, asset impairment gains or losses and significant tax adjustments not related to current period's earnings, as detailed in the table below.  The Company discloses this measure, which is based on its Financial Statements, to assist in the understanding of the Company's operating results and financial position.

Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold
Total cash cost per ounce of gold sold is a non-GAAP performance measure, which does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS 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 Statements for Q1 2015, Q1 2014 and Q4 2014:

All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold
All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold is a non-GAAP performance measure, which does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS 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. To report on this performance metrics, the Company uses the all-in sustaining definition as set out in the guidance note released by the World Gold Council on June 27, 2013. All-in sustaining costs include mine-site operating costs and production royalties incurred at the Company's mining operations (net of toll milling revenue), sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administration expense, mine-site exploration costs, and reclamation cost accretion. The Company believes that this measure represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations, and provides the Company and other stakeholders with additional information that illustrates the Company's operational performance and ability to generate cash flow. This cost measure is reported on a consolidated level and on a per-ounce of gold sold basis. As the measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations, new project capital is not included. Certain other cash expenditures, including tax payments and financing costs are also not included.

The Company determines sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current gold production and execute the current mine plan. Capital expenditures to develop new operations, or related to projects at existing operations where these projects will enhance gold production or Mineral Reserves, are considered development capital. For Q1 2015, all capital expenditures at Holt and Holloway are classified as sustaining; and the capital expenditures incurred to bring Taylor, net of bulk sample gold sales, are classified as development capital.

Mine-site cost per tonne milled
Mine-site cost per tonne milled is a non-GAAP performance measure, which does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS 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 toll milling revenue and 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 reduces 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 does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS and 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 Statements. 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.
