TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – The share price performance of Noventa, which announced urgent funding needs of $25-million last week, has been “disappointing” and doesn’t fully value the company’s tantalum properties in Mozambique, chairperson Eric Kohn said on Tuesday.

The share price fell a further 6.5% in early TSX trade, changing hands at C$0.86 apiece.

On the Aim, Noventa slipped a further 5.5% to close at £0.51 a share, its lowest level since listing.

Kohn said the stock was now "grossly undervalued".

On a heated conference call, Kohn told shareholders and analysts that the additional cash Noventa required was because of exchange rate recalculations, as well as unanticipated working capital and capital expenditure, and the changing of civil engineering contractors building the plant at the company’s Marropino mine.

Lack of rainfall and low water levels in dams that the mine’s plant uses were also a problem, he said.

Kohn suggested that blame lay with the firm's now-resigned CEO whose “mind clearly wasn’t on matters” after his wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

He also said that Noventa’s CFO “made some errors that shouldn’t have been made”.

Still, a private investor on the call questioned Kohn about whether he himself had considered stepping down in the wake of the company’s share price collapse.

“That’s very nice of you,” Kohn retorted.

“I was the one who found this problem – not the audit committee or anyone else. So as painful as it is for me after having done all the work to turn this company around, I don’t think that would be appropriate.”

Because it decided to change civil engineering contractors, Noventa would now reach its target of producing tantalum at a rate of 200 000 lb/y by July, instead of June, and would build this up once the new plant was complete to 500 000 lb/y to 600 000 lb/y by the end of the year – provided the company could secure the additional financing.

Kohn said Noventa was talking to its advisors as to how it would source this funding, but said the company had received “a lot of interest” from potential investors.

The company needs to secure the $25-million by the end of July if it is to meet its production targets.

Noventa’s share price plunged from C$2.64 before it announced the urgent funding requirement to C$1.13 on June 2, shedding more value since.

Last month, Noventa announced the sudden resignation of CEO Pat Lawless, replacing him on an interim basis with the man who previously held the position, John Allan.

Tantalum, which is used to make electronic capacitors in cell phones and laptops, and also in super alloys that go into jet turbines, is in a supply squeeze currently, as companies avoid buying so-called “conflict minerals” from places like the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has been a major supply source in recent years.

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – TSX- and Aim-listed Noventa, which owns a tantalum mine in Mozambique, has appointed Fernando Fernandez-Torres as COO and CEO-designate.

The appointment was in line with the company’s aim to ensure it met its June production target, by strengthening its management teams, executive chairperson Eric Kohn said on Tuesday.

“This recent progress is very encouraging and supports our long-term objective of becoming of a low-cost producer of tantalum concentrate,” he said.

In May, Noventa announced the sudden resignation of CEO Pat Lawless, replacing him on an interim basis with the man who previously held the position, John Allan.

Fernandez-Torres would take on his role as a director from June 28, and would assume the role as COO on August 1, and was expected to assume the role of CEO during the last quarter of 2011.

Fernandez-Torres is a qualified industrial engineer, has been involved in the mining industry for over 30 years. His experience comprises over 20 years within mining giant Rio Tinto, five years within Sibelco Group, an industrial and commercial mineral miner and distributor, and stints as COO at two copper and cobalt mining projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Prior to taking up his role with the company, Fernandez-Torres headed a project in northern Spain to reopen abandoned gold mines for TSX-listed Orvana Minerals.

The board also appointed Thies Eggers as an independent nonexecutive director and head of the audit committee from June 28. Timothy Griffiths resigned as a director, effective June 28.

“We are delighted at the appointments and believe their experience and expertise will prove to be invaluable to Noventa’s future,” Kohn said.

Meanwhile, production levels at the Marropino mine have exceeded the 175 000 lb/y target of tantalum concentrate for June, with a recovery rate of over 51%. The Marropino mine is the group's most developed project and is located about 350 km north-east of the provincial capital, Quelimane, in Mozambique.

Pure tantalum is used in the electronics industry, mainly as powder and wire for capacitors in telecommunications devices and implantable medical devices. The main use of tantalum is in the manufacture of electrolytic capacitors, used in mobile phones, computers and automotive electronics. Additional uses include super alloys for turbine engines, precision optical lenses and high temperature applications.

Marropino mine not economic resource, Noventa says

Latest Prices

Noventa Ltd. 38.25p -9.47%
 
FTSE AIM All-Share 871 +0.74%
Mining 26,380 +0.32%

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Noventa's shares took a hammering after the tantalum miner said the results of its diamond drilling programmes in the north-east and south of its Marropino mine in Mozambique showed that the pegmatite body does not constitute an economic resource.

The news is another blow to the company and adds to a string of major production failures at its Marropino mine.

The mine has been beset by problems such as lack of rainfall, resulting in unusually low levels of water in dams that serve the plant, the need for more equipment such as earth moving equipment, spare parts, laboratory equipment and a larger crane and higher than anticipated electricity and diesel consumption.

Marropino produces tantalum, which is used in electrical equipment such as mobile phones, and the gemstone morganite.

Shares of the company were trading down 6% at 39.69p in London. In the last one year, Noventa’s shares have lost 98% of their value.

NOVENTA PROVIDES RESULTS OF DRILLING PROGRAMS AT MARROPINO NORTHEAST AND MARROPINO SOUTH
          §    TORONTO, July 4, 2011 /CNW/ - Noventa Limited (AIM:NVTA) (TSX:NTA)
(PLUS:NV) ("Noventa" or the "Company"), a supplier of the strategic metal
tantalum, provided an update on the drilling results of its exploration
program at locations to the northeast and south of its existing Marropino
mine, within its mining licence area.
          §    Core samples  from diamond drilling programs carried out at Marropino
Northeast (9 holes) and at  Marropino South (6 holes) in March and April 2011
were submitted to the ALS laboratory in Johannesburg and the Inspectorate
Metals and Minerals laboratory in Rustenburg, South Africa. The final results
of this analytical work have now become available.
          §    In the Marropino Northeast area the maximum values of 61 ppm Ta2O5 (50
ppm Ta) were obtained over the following intersection widths (table 1):
<<

__________________________________________________
|Drillhole No.|Depth from|Depth to|Intersected width|Ta2O5 ppm|
|_____________|__________|________|_________________|_________|
|MN 1         |39.40     |40.40   |1                |61       |
|_____________|__________|________|_________________|_________|

|MN 6         |53.65     |54.80   |1.15             |61       |
|_____________|__________|________|_________________|_________|

>>
          §    Table 1. Summary of Marropino NE maximum values - the detection limit was
10 ppm.
          §    All other Ta2O5 values obtained were lower. It is therefore considered
that the Marropino Northeast pegmatite body does not constitute an economic
resource.
          §    Of the six diamond drillholes completed in the Marropino South area, five
intersected pegmatite over significant widths. Analytical work carried out by
ALS Johannesburg yielded the following results in excess of 61 ppm Ta2O5
(table 2):
<<

TORONTO (miningeekly.com) – Tantalum-miner Noventa lost further ground on London’s Aim market, after it announced that two deposits it drilled earlier this year at its Marropino operation in Mozambique were not economically viable.

The share dipped by over 11% before recovering slightly to trade 6% lower at £0.39 by 14:40.

The company, which listed on the TSX in December, said analysis that a South African laboratory had done on drill cores from the Marropino Northeast Marropino South pegmatite orebodies determined that they did not contain economical resources.

Noventa shed over 70% of its market value last month, after it announced it urgently needed to raise $25-million to complete the construction of a bigger plant at Marropino.

Last week, the firm said it had appointed former Nikanor manager Fernando Fernandez-Torres as a director and COO, and that he would replace interim CEO John Allan at Noventa’s helm during the last quarter of 2011.

The company fell 10% in thin trading in Toronto on Monday morning.

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) &#8722; Mozambique-focused tantalum producer Noventa, whose CFO announced his resignation on Monday, said it planned to raise funds in Canada and the UK, which would be followed by an open share offering to all its shareholders.

The Aim- and TSX-listed company appointed Jacob Securities as its agent in Canada, to raise funds through special warrants that would be issued by way of private placements.

Concurrently with the Canadian offering, the company would also undertake fundraising in the UK through its broker Riligare Capital Markets.

Following the successful completion of the two offerings, Noventa would start an open offer of ordinary shares to all its qualifying shareholders.

Noventa announced in May that it needed to raise $25-million before the end of July to complete a plant expansion to 600 000 lb/y at its Marropino mine.

Cash flow became constrained after technical difficulties prevented the company from maintaining its production rate of 200 000 lb/y over a sustained period of time.

Meanwhile, the miner said that it was in the process of recruiting a replacement for Daniel Cassiano-Silva, who would leave the company in November.

TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Noventa, the company that produces tantalum in Mozambique, aims to raise $37-million from selling shares, it said on Friday.

The company also announced that executive chairperson Eric Kohn has decided to resign.

The proceeds will go to completing the plant optimisation and expansion at its Marropino mine.

The company announced in June that it urgently needed to raise cash to complete the project, leading to a 50%-plus plunge in its share price.

Noventa said in a statement, that Religare Capital Markets placed 73.6-million new Noventa shares at a price of 25 pence each with both new and existing investors to raise about $30-million.

Additionally, the company aims to offer 17.5-million shares to current shareholders, for proceeds of around $7-million.

Noventa said it has now reached a production rate of 200 000 lb/y of tantalum pentoxide concentrate, and once the plant is complete, this capacity will rise to 600 000 lb/y.

Meanwhile, the firm said that Kohn had indicated he would resign once the expansion at Marropino was complete.

“As a consequence, the board will shortly commence efforts to find a suitable replacement; it is expected that the future chairman will be a nonexecutive director of the company,” Noventa said.

Further, Zeca de Barros was named new CFO, after Daniel Cassiano-Silva said he would leave in November.

Tantalum is used in the electronics industry.

NOVENTA LIMITED
 



Attention Business Editors

Noventa Limited - Appointment of Non-Executive Director, Proposed Offer to Preference Shareholders And Notice of Class Meeting
          §    ("Noventa" or the "Company") (TSX: NTA; AIM: NVTA; PLUS: NV)
          §    TORONTO, Sept. 2, 2011 /CNW/ -
          §    Appointment of Non-Executive Director
          §    The board of Noventa is delighted to announce the appointment of Luca
Bechis as a non-executive director of the Company with effect from today.
          §    Mr Bechis is a founding partner of Richmond Capital LLP, a London based
FSA authorised investment management firm established in 2004.  Prior to this,
Mr Bechis was a partner at hedge fund Egerton Capital from 1997 to 2004 and a
European equity analyst at Cazenove & Co from 1990 to 1997.  Richmond Capital
LLP is the investment advisor to Richmond Partners Master Fund (Cayman
Islands), the largest shareholder of the Company.
          §    Executive Chairman, Eric Kohn TD, commented, "We are delighted at the
appointment of Luca to the board of Noventa.  He brings great strategic
perspective to the board and has demonstrated his belief in the Company
consistently over the last year."

          §    Proposed Offer to Preference Shareholders and Notice of Class Meeting
          §    Further to the announcement of 19 August 2011, Noventa is pleased to
confirm the details of the Proposed offer to Preference Shareholders and the
accompanying class meeting.
          §    The Preference Redemption will require an amendment to the terms and
conditions of the Preference Shares which will need to be approved by
Preference Shareholders at a class meeting.  The notice of such meeting has
been sent to Preference Shareholders and the meeting will be held on 28
September 2011.  Copies of the documents sent to Preference Shareholders have
been posted on the Company's AIM Rule 26 website (www.noventa.net).
          §    Subject to approval of the resolution at the above class meeting,
Preference Shareholders will have the opportunity to have their Preference
Shares redeemed earlier than previously agreed, whether in whole or in part,
and to receive new Ordinary Shares as consideration for such redemption.  The
Preference Redemption is to be calculated on the basis of the Preference
Shares being redeemed at their original issue and redemption price of US$4.218
plus any accrued dividend up to and including 30 September 2011, and
reinvested into new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price of 25p.  A US Dollar to
GB Pound exchange rate of $1.62:#1.00 will be used in the redemption and
reinvestment calculation.
          §    In the event that all the Preference Shareholders elect to have their
shares redeemed, then it would result in the issue of approximately 30,128,468
new Ordinary Shares, which would equate to 20.36 per cent. of the Company's
enlarged issued ordinary share capital following completion of the
Subscription with Clawback and the Open Offer.
          §    Any new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Preference
Redemption will be credited as fully paid and will, on issue, rank paripassu
with the Existing Ordinary Shares.   All defined terms in this announcement
have the same meaning as in the original announcement of 19 August 2011
          §    Information Required Under the AIM Rules
          §    Luca Bechis
          §    Age 45
          §    Current Directorships
          §    The Richmond Environmental Charitable Foundation
          §    Past Directorships (in the last 5 years)
          §    Richmond Capital LLP Richmond Partners Master Limited (Cayman Islands)
Richmond Partners Limited Richmond Capital Partners LP
          §    Richmond Partners Master Fund (Cayman Islands) currently holds 14,068,799
ordinary 0.8p shares ("Ordinary Shares"),equivalent to 14.02% of the Company's
current issued Ordinary Shares (but disregarding rights to acquire shares
through warrants or in respect of the Subscription with Clawback set out in
the announcement of 19 August 2011).  Under the AIM Rules, Mr Bechis has in
interest in the Richmond Partners Master Fund (Cayman Islands) holding of
Noventa Ordinary Shares.  He has no other interest in Noventa Ordinary Shares.

Noventa focuses on costs as it ramps up production
Friday, November 04, 2011 by Jon Mainwaring
Noventa (LON:NVTA, TSE:NTA) is focusing on reducing its costs after a quarter that saw the Mozambique-focused tantalum miner ramp up production by 23 per cent.

Reporting results for the three months to September 30, Noventa’s new chief executive officer, Fernando Fernandez-Torres, said that he was in the process of reviewing the firm’s business plan and budget for 2012 with the aim of reducing costs. Fernandez-Torres said that he is also re-evaluating the investment required to develop the firm’s Morrua asset, which boasts double the parts per million of tantalum concentrate of its existing producing mine at Marropino, “with a view to make a less intensive capital project than initially anticipated”.

During the quarter, Noventa achieved production of 38,903 pounds of tantalum pentoxide – a 23 per cent increase on Q2 2011 and more than double Q1 2011 production. For the first nine months of the year, production at its Marropino plant amounted to 86,633 pounds.

The construction of a new processing plant at Marropino is “well advanced” and only slightly behind schedule, said the firm, which expects production to ramp up to 600,000 pounds of tantalum pentoxde during 2012.

Noventa said that a previously reported water problem at Marropino has now been resolved with the installation of a pumping station and water pipeline. The solution has been tested and “will provide long term security of the process water supply irrespective of the weather conditions”.

Meanwhile, the firm has recommenced shipping to its client in Thailand using normal shipping routes. Currently, Noventa has 72,500 pounds of tantalum pentoxide ready for final blending that it anticipates will be shipped during this quarter.

The firm also announced today that it had made an annual interest saving of US$763,000 as a result of the redemption of convertible preference shares.
