MAVERIX METALS ANNOUNCES 2019 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Maverix Metals Inc. has released its operating and financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
For complete details please refer to the Financial Statements and associated Management Discussion and Analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or on the Company's website (www.maverixmetals.com).
First Quarter 2019 Highlights
Revenue of $7.5 million ($6.8 million in Q1 2018);
Operating cash flow of $5.2 million, excluding changes in non-cash working capital1 ($5.4 million in Q1 2018);
Record net income of $1.5 million or $0.01 per share ($1.2 million or $0.01 per share in Q1 2018);
Attributable gold equivalent ounces produced2 of 5,264 ounces (4,250 ounces in Q1 2018) and attributable gold equivalent ounces1 sold of 4,358 ounces (4,024 ounces in Q1 2018);
Average cash cost per attributable gold equivalent ounce sold of $202, resulting in cash operating margins of $1,527 per ounce1 ($121 and $1,560 in Q1 2018, respectively); and
Acquired a 22.5% life of mine silver stream on the El Mochito mine, owned and operated by Ascendant Resources Inc.
"Maverix was pleased to add a cash flowing silver stream on Ascendant's producing El Mochito mine to our growing portfolio this quarter, as well as increase our revenue by 10% compared to the first quarter of 2018," commented Dan O'Flaherty, President and CEO of Maverix. "Our results this quarter were consistent with our expectations and we remain on track to meet our previously announced guidance for 2019. Maverix will continue to focus on actively evaluating potential opportunities to expand our portfolio of high-quality royalties and streams."
2019 Outlook
Maverix remains well positioned to achieve the previously announced guidance of attributable gold equivalent production of 22,500 and 24,500 ounces1 for 2019. As a number of our paying assets are continuing to ramp up operations throughout the year, we expect our attributable gold equivalent production to be weighted towards the second half of 2019.
The Beta Hunt mine (where Maverix holds a 6% GRR and a 1.5% NSR royalty on gold production) is currently only producing on a limited basis, as RNC Minerals is completing an updated resource estimate and currently expects full production to restart later this year.3
Coeur Mining, Inc. recently reported that the ramp up at the Silvertip mine (where Maverix holds a 2.5% NSR) was somewhat slower than expected, however operating results were steadily improving, and full year 2019 production guidance was being maintained. 4
Increase of Credit Facility to US$75 Million Subsequent to March 31, 2019
On April 8 th, 2019, Maverix announced that it had amended and increased its revolving credit agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") and National Bank of Canada, allowing the Company to borrow up to US$75 million (the "Revolving Facility"). The Revolving Facility has a term of four years, which is extendable through mutual agreement between Maverix, CIBC, and National Bank. Maverix intends to use the increased Revolving Facility for future royalty or stream acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
About Maverix
Maverix is a gold royalty and streaming company. Maverix's mission is to provide its shareholders with significant low risk leverage to precious metal prices and to increase underlying per share value by expanding its portfolio with acquisitions of high-quality royalties and streams that offer robust returns.

KATANGA MINING ANNOUNCES 2019 FIRST QUARTER PRODUCTION RESULTS
Katanga Mining ltd. has released its 2019 first quarter production results.
Major projects update
Q1 2019 WOL project update
The WOL project includes the construction of optimized copper and cobalt circuits with an average annual production of 300,000 tonnes per annum of copper cathode over life of mine (as described in the company's technical report filed on SEDAR on April 2, 2018). This is achieved by adding additional leach capacity at Luilu in order to leach run-of-mine oxide ore directly rather than concentrating the oxide ore at the Kamoto concentrator (KTC).
Q1 2019 cobalt projects update
The cobalt debottlenecking projects are expected to be completed during Q2 2019. Dry commissioning of two of the three filter presses has completed. The third filter press commissioning is awaiting arrival of the supplier commissioning team during the next planned maintenance shutdown, scheduled for May, 2019. The MgO (magnesium oxide) plant commissioning is complete. Commissioning of the first and second cobalt dryers has commenced, with expected completion during Q2 2019.
The objective of the cobalt projects is to upgrade the existing cobalt plant design in order to reduce bottlenecks by modification of the precipitation, thickening and filtration, and drying and bagging processes. This will align the design of the plant with the average life-of-mine cobalt production plan of 30,000 tonnes per annum. These improvements will integrate with the existing WOL processing facilities at Luilu.
Q1 2019 acid plant update
The acid plant is a sulphuric acid, sulphur dioxide production plant and steam turbine generator at Kamoto Copper Company (KCC) that is intended to improve the reliability of the supply of these reagents to the WOL project processing circuits and provide additional power for use in the WOL plant. In addition to a continuation of design work on the acid plant, major earthworks are complete, civil works are progressing and deliveries of major long lead items continue to arrive on site. Commissioning of the acid plant is expected to commence at the end of 2019.
Production highlights during the three months ended March 31, 2019, and cobalt update
Copper and cobalt production
Copper cathode increased to 57,175 tonnes in Q1 2019 from 49,770 tonnes in Q4 2018.
Cobalt contained in hydroxide decreased to 3,511 tonnes in Q1 2019 from 4,646 tonnes in Q4 2018.
In Q4 2018, the company announced that its 75-per-cent-owned Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) subsidiary, KCC, had temporarily suspended the export and sale of cobalt due to the presence of uranium detected in the cobalt hydroxide at levels that exceed the acceptable limit allowed for export of the product through main African ports to customers. The low levels of radioactivity detected in the uranium to date do not present a health and safety risk. On April 25, 2019, KCC resumed the export and sale of a limited quantity of cobalt that complies with both international and local DRC transport regulations with respect to the levels of uranium.
While KCC, together with the company and KCC's 25-per-cent shareholder, DRC state-owned La Generale des Carrieres et des Mines (Gecamines), have been working with the DRC government's Ministry of Mines and the Congolese Atomic Energy Agency (CGEA) on a long-term technical solution in the form of an ion exchange plant. KCC has also been exploring various alternative interim solutions, both operational and regulatory, resulting in the recommencement of the export and sale of a limited quantity of cobalt.
Through interim operational solutions, KCC had produced, as at March 31, 2019, approximately 930 tonnes of contained cobalt since January, 2019, that complies with applicable regulations. This represents approximately 22.5 per cent of the total production of contained cobalt since January, 2019. As previously disclosed and confirmed by the competent DRC authorities, KCC has resumed the export of its cobalt hydroxide complying with the applicable regulations and such resumption of exports remains subject to the regular DRC export procedures, which include the continued monitoring by CGEA and by the relevant mining authorities.

- Nemaska Lithium; die vorhandene Liquidität könnte "den Markt" erstmal beruhigen; eventuell haben wohl viele gedacht übermorgen gehen die Lichter aus + stabile Hydroxid-Produktion https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Ite....p;symbol=NMX®ion=C
Nemaska Lithium Provides Project Update
• Construction pace is adapted to ensure optimal use of current resources
• 55% of detailed engineering completed in Shawinigan as of April 30, 2019 • Quality hydroxide products steadily produced out of the Phase 1 plant
QUÉBEC CITY, May 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nemaska Lithium Inc. (the “Corporation”) (TSX: NMX) (OTCQX: NMKEF) (Frankfurt: N0T) today provides an update on the overall Whabouchi project and discloses its quarterly financials.
“We have made good overall progress during the past months on both the construction at the Whabouchi mine and the detailed engineering at the Shawinigan plant. While we are carefully managing cash at our disposal, we are also reviewing financing opportunities and strategic alternatives with the help of our financial advisors. We are diligently proceeding one step at a time towards achieving our ultimate goals within the best possible timeframe in the best interest of all our stakeholders,” said Guy Bourassa, President and CEO of Nemaska Lithium.
As at March 31, 2019, the Corporation had on hand CAD $262.3M in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and the equivalent in CAD $522M of restricted cash and in-trust deposits (mainly bond proceeds). As at March 31, 2019, CAD $190.1M has been incurred for the Whabouchi mine, and CAD $111.4M for the Shawinigan electrochemical plant.
Construction Execution Plan Underway
At Whabouchi, the foundations for the primary, secondary and tertiary crushers are completed and structural steel installation is well advanced. Furthermore, concrete pouring and backfilling are nearing completion, electric distribution is completed, and the construction camp, its cafeteria and training facilities are fully functional. About 50% of the crushing, ore sorting and concentrator equipment has been received, and most of it has been installed.
In Shawinigan, detailed engineering work for the electrochemical plant continues. The progress achieved over the past few months will be reflected in the updated 43-101 Technical Report – Feasability Study expected to be completed in June. As at April 30, 2019, the detailed engineering progress was estimated at approximately 55% complete, which will add considerable knowledge to the project that could translate into cost savings in the subsequent bidding and procurement process set to resume upon completion of the project financing.
As previously mentioned, the construction pace at both the Whabouchi mine and the Shawinigan plant has been adapted to ensure an optimal and efficient use of current resources. In addition, the majority of BBA’s recommendations received at the end of April have been implemented.
Financing alternatives under review
The dual-track financing action plan and review process of all available alternatives is underway as the Corporation is, with the assistance of Clarksons Platou Securities and National Bank Financial, in touch with different parties and analyzing potential available options. The reception of the BBA report at the end of April 2019 was a key element in advancing these discussions as it provided validation of the cost-to-complete estimate and the operational strategy.
Constant Deliveries Out of the Phase 1 Plant
Activities out of the Phase 1 plant continue at a steady pace. High purity lithium hydroxide monohydrate commercial samples are delivered every week to current and potential clients internationally.
Conference Call
Nemaska Lithium will host a conference call on May 16, 2019 at 10:30 am EST. The Corporation’s President and CEO, Mr. Guy Bourassa, will discuss this morning’s announcement. The call can be accessed at the following:

Westhaven drills 85.8 m of 0.8 g/t Au at Shovelnose
2019-05-16 09:19 ET - News Release
Mr. Gareth Thomas reports
WESTHAVEN DRILLS 12.00 METRES OF 5.54 G/T GOLD AND 2.00 METRES OF 44.90 G/T GOLD
Westhaven Ventures Inc. has provided drill results from its winter drill campaign at its 15,542-hectare Shovelnose gold property, located within the prospective Spences Bridge gold belt (SBGB), which borders the Coquihalla Highway 30 kilometres south of Merritt, B.C. The program comprised 3,031 metres of diamond drilling in eight holes.
Recent highlights:
Drill hole SN19-05 (260.00 metres to 344.80 metres): 85.80 metres of 0.80 gram per tonne (g/t) gold and 4.02 g/t silver, including one metre of 14.50 g/t gold and 191.00 g/t silver. This represents the highest gram-metre Second vein zone intercept to date. The first zone in SN19-05 (reported on April 22, 2019) intersected 15.48 metres of 4.77 g/t gold and 21.77 g/t silver, including 6.48 metres of 8.55 g/t gold and 38.55 g/t silver and 1.55 metres of 32.60 g/t gold and 130.68 g/t silver.
Drill hole SN19-06 (165.97 metres to 197.00 metres): 31.03 metres of 2.88 g/t gold and 19.91 g/t silver, including 12.00 metres of 5.54 g/t gold and 36.61 g/t silver and 4.50 metres of 8.51 g/t gold and 56.60 g/t silver.
Drill hole SN19-06 (227.00 metres to 238.00 metres): two metres of 44.90 g/t gold and 45.40 g/t silver.
SN19-06 is 40 metres south of hole SN18-15, which returned 46.90 metres of 8.95 g/t gold and 65.47 g/t silver.
SN19-07 successfully intersected a gold mineralized vein zone (13.00 metres of 1.06 g/t gold and 3.05 g/t silver) south of the cross-fault intersected in hole SN18-19 and may represent the southward continuation of zone 1.
Gareth Thomas, president and chief executive officer of Westhaven, states: "The recently reported drill intercepts in holes SN19-05 and SN19-06 demonstrate continuity of the wide, high-grade mineralization encountered in both the Main vein zone and the Second vein zone. The gold mineralization intersected in SN19-07, although low grade, is significant as it appears to represent the southward continuation of the Main vein zone south of the cross-fault encountered in previous drilling. Ground geophysics appears to indicate several hundred metres of potential strike length to the southeast from our most southern South zone drill intercept. We will test the South zone along strike in the upcoming, fully financed drill campaign starting in early June. Drilling will look to expand this high-grade discovery while also looking to discover additional zones of gold mineralization outside of the South zone."

First Cobalt to receive Glencore support for refinery
2019-05-21 13:58 ET - News Release
Mr. Trent Mell reports
GLENCORE TO SUPPORT RESTART OF FIRST COBALT REFINERY
First Cobalt Corp. and Glencore AG have signed a memorandum of understanding to supply cobalt feedstock and financing to recommission the First Cobalt refinery in Ontario, Canada. Upon execution of definitive agreements, First Cobalt and Glencore will collaborate on final flowsheet design with a view to accelerating the restart of North America's only primary cobalt refinery.
Highlights
Glencore intends to provide feedstock for the refinery which is expected to result in annual production of approximately 2,000 to 2,500 tonnes per annum of cobalt in sulfate from the refinery
Glencore will evaluate making a loan to fund the capital requirements to recommission the refinery and will enter into a tolling agreement with First Cobalt
The refinery could be operational in 18-24 months and discussions are underway with provincial government officials to identify opportunities to streamline and accelerate the permit amendment process
Trent Mell, First Cobalt President & Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The partnership announced today will help First Cobalt achieve its stated objective of providing ethically-sourced battery grade cobalt for the North American electric vehicle market. As the world's leading producer of cobalt, Glencore is an ideal partner for First Cobalt. Our shareholders will benefit from Glencore financial backing, technical support and opportunities for regional synergies with their Sudbury and Rouyn-Noranda operations.
"This announcement marks the culmination of one year's work, bringing First Cobalt closer to generating cash flow and reducing reliance on the equity markets to fund future advancement of our North American primary cobalt assets in Idaho and Ontario."
The memorandum of understanding (the "Agreement") between Glencore and First Cobalt outlines the terms of a partnership to produce refined cobalt for the North American market. Under the Agreement, which remains subject to due diligence and definitive documentation, Glencore will provide First Cobalt with feedstock material, a loan to cover the estimated capital requirements to recommission the Refinery and technical support.
A final decision on whether to put the First Cobalt Refinery back into production has not been made at this time and any decision is contingent on the outcome of the ongoing discussions and studies. The Company has not completed a study of the economic viability of operating the Refinery. Any decision to restart the Refinery will not be based on anticipated development of any of the Company's current projects. At this time, the Company does not anticipate that its current projects will provide a source of feedstock for the Refinery.
The First Cobalt Refinery is the only permitted primary cobalt refinery in North America. The Company recently completed testing of third party cobalt hydroxide as a potential source of feed, confirming that the existing processes in the First Cobalt Refinery are capable of producing a high purity, battery grade cobalt sulfate (see April 3, 2019 press release). With no cobalt sulfate production in North America today, the First Cobalt Refinery has the potential to become the first such producer for the American electric vehicle market. The Company has signed confidentiality agreements with several automotive companies interested in securing cobalt for the North American market.
The First Cobalt Refinery is a hydrometallurgical cobalt refinery in the Canadian Cobalt Camp, approximately 600 kilometres from the U.S. border. The First Cobalt Refinery has the potential to produce either a cobalt sulfate for the lithium-ion battery market or cobalt metal for the North American aerospace industry or other industrial and military applications.
A study completed in 2018 by Primero (see October 10, 2018 press release) estimated that under a 24 tonnes per day (tpd) base case scenario, the refinery could be recommissioned for approximately US$30 million. The study also considers an expansion scenario of up to 50 tpd within the footprint of the current building structure. The study does not comment on the economic viability of operating the Refinery, and instead is an estimate of the costs associated with recommissioning. A copy of the study is available on SEDAR and the Company's website.
First Cobalt is a Canadian-based pure-play cobalt company and owner of the only permitted primary cobalt refinery in North America. The Company is exploring a restart of the First Cobalt Refinery in Ontario, Canada, which could produce 2,500 tonnes of cobalt sulfate or metallic cobalt per year. First Cobalt's main cobalt project is the Iron Creek Cobalt Project in Idaho, USA, which has Inferred mineral resources of 26.9 million tonnes grading 0.11% cobalt equivalent, or an alternative underground-only scenario of 4.4 million tonnes grading 0.3% cobalt equivalent. For further information regarding the resource estimate for the Iron Creek Cobalt Project, readers are encouraged to review the technical report prepared for the Company, dated effective September 18, 2018 (as amended), a copy of which is available on SEDAR and on the Company's website.

Net loss of $2.2 million in Q1 2019
New resource estimate for Novo Amparo Norte expected late Q2 2019
TORONTO, May 14, 2019 /CNW/ - Largo Resources Ltd. ("Largo" or the "Company") (TSX: LGO) (OTCQX: LGORF) announces its first quarter 2019 operational and financial results with 2,099 tonnes of vanadium pentoxide ("vanadium" or "V2O5") produced at an average global V2O5 recovery rate1 of 80% and cash operating costs excluding royalties2 of US$3.41 per pound of V2O5.
Mark Smith, Chief Executive Officer for Largo, stated: "The decline in the price of vanadium and the significant remeasurement of trade receivables under the Company's off-take agreement greatly impacted profitability this quarter. Despite continued pressure on vanadium prices, the operations team successfully completed the kiln refractory replacement ahead of schedule in addition to increasing global recoveries by 5% from the same quarter last year, setting a new quarterly record. Cash operating costs2 for the quarter were 4% lower compared to the same quarter last year and I am very pleased with the team's ability to remain focused on cost discipline at the mine."
"The Company's exploration initiatives are progressing as planned with drilling at the Novo Amparo Norte and Novo Amparo deposits now complete and the commencement of drilling at the São Jose deposit. The Company's work on a new resource estimate for Novo Amparo Norte is now well advanced and we look forward to providing an update to the market towards the end of Q2 2019."
He concluded: "We are committed to implementing a comprehensive capital return program to return cash to our shareholders in the form of dividends and/or the repurchase of shares and/or warrants following the intended repayment of the Company's remaining debt balance of US29.1 million. We intend to communicate the details of the comprehensive capital return program at or before our Annual Meeting of Shareholders in June."
LARGO RESOURCES ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2019 PRODUCTION RESULTS
Largo Resources Ltd. has released first quarter 2019 production results from its Maracas Menchen mine with 2,099 tonnes of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) produced at an average global recovery rate (i) of 80.0 per cent. The company is also pleased to announce that the scheduled kiln refractory replacement has been completed, and regular production has resumed.
Total production in first quarter 2019 from the Maracas Menchen mine of 2,099 tonnes of V2O5 was 5 per cent below first quarter 2018 results. Production of 816 tonnes of V2O5 in January and 735 tonnes of V2O5 in February was both impacted by maintenance in the fusion section of the plant and unanticipated power outages, which mostly occurred in February. Production in March of 548 tonnes of V2O5 was, as anticipated, significantly impacted by the scheduled kiln refractory replacement, which resulted in 11 days of production downtime, being two days less than the expected 13 days previously reported. A complete replacement of the kiln refractory occurs every two years as a consequence of the high temperatures utilized inside the kiln, which weakens the kiln's durability over time and causes stability issues with recoveries. Largo expects that the replacement of the kiln refractory will help to minimize the need for minor repairs that were performed to the kiln throughout 2018.
Global V2O5 recovery rates (i) averaged 80.0 per cent during the quarter, representing an increase of 5 per cent over first quarter 2018. This is primarily attributable to improved recoveries in the leaching and precipitation sections of the plant during January and February.
A summary of first quarter 2019 production results from the Maracas Menchen mine is presented in the attached table.
MARACAS MENCHEN MINE PRODUCTION
Q1 2019 Q1 2018
Global recovery (i) (%) 80.0% 75.9%
Concentrate produced (tonnes) 86,673 77,222
Grade of concentrate (% V2O5) 3.32% 3.56%
Contained V2O5 (tonnes) 2,874 2,747
V2O5 flake produced (flake + powder) (tonnes) 2,099 2,214
V2O5 produced (equivalent pounds) (ii) 4,627,497 4,881,029
Mark Smith, chief executive officer of Largo, stated: "Production at the Maracas Menchen mine was impacted during the quarter by the company's scheduled replacement of the kiln refractory in addition to unanticipated power outages and corrective maintenance to the fusion section of the plant. I am pleased to report that the kiln refractory replacement has been completed, and our operations team was able to minimize the impact on production during the month to 11 days versus the 13 days previously reported. Operations have since resumed, and the company expects to return to a normalized production level in the next quarter."

Globe says Largo seen offering "compelling" risk-reward
2019-04-03 09:14 ET - In the News
The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, April 3, edition that CIBC World Markets analyst Bryce Adams believes Largo Resources ($2.09) currently offers investors a "compelling" risk-reward. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Adams began coverage of the Toronto-based mineral company, which he calls "one of the few pure plays on vanadium markets," with an "outperformer" rating. Mr. Adams says in a note: "Largo Resources is focused on the primary production of vanadium flake, high purity vanadium flake, and high purity vanadium powder at the Maracas Menchen mine located in Bahia State, Brazil. Largo is one of only three large-scale primary vanadium producers in the world. Key attributes are 1) high purity product and 2) low cost profile. Largo is one of only a few vanadium producers that can supply high-purity specialty markets." Mr. Adams set a $4 share target. The Globe reported on Jan. 26 that Credit Suisse analyst Curt Woodworth had commenced coverage of Largo Resources with an "underperform" rating and $2.50 share target. Largo Resources shares were then going for $2.72.

Mr. Mark Smith reports
LARGO RESOURCES ANNOUNCES RECORD FULL YEAR PRODUCTION AND NET INCOME OF $316.0 MILLION IN 2018
Largo Resources Ltd. has released exceptional results for 2018, with net income of $316.0-million and basic earnings per share of 61 cents on record production of 9,830 tonnes of V2O5, representing the strongest year of earnings and production for the company since the commencement of operations in 2014.
Mark Smith, Chief Executive Officer for Largo, stated: "2018 was an outstanding year for Largo as it delivered extremely robust financial results with net income of $316.0 million while also consecutively increasing quarterly production at the Maracas Menchen Mine allowing the Company to exceed its production guidance midpoint by 2%."
"We entered 2019 in a very solid financial position with a cash balance of $206.2 million and the Company currently has approximately US$29.1 million of outstanding debt with plans to eliminate this remaining debt balance in early June 2019. Largo continues to remain one of the lowest-cost producers of vanadium in the world which allows the Company to generate significant amounts of cash in the current vanadium pricing environment. We look forward to continuing the successes of 2018 and it is our goal to maximize organic value creation at the Company in 2019."
He concluded: "Largo's Board of Directors is examining alternatives for the return of capital to its shareholders in the form of share buybacks and/or dividends as well as using its excess cash and cash flows to finance the potential further expansion of its high-quality vanadium Maracas Menchen mine in Brazil. Acquisitions of other companies or mining projects are not part of Largo's current strategy."

HOUSTON, May 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hi-Crush Partners LP (NYSE: HCLP), "Hi-Crush" or the "Partnership," today reported first quarter 2019 results. Revenues during the first quarter of 2019 totaled $159.9 million, including volumes sold of 2,411,262 tons. This compares to $162.2 million of revenues during the fourth quarter of 2018, including volumes sold of 1,976,805 tons. The limited partners' interest in net loss was $(6.2) million for the first quarter of 2019, resulting in basic and diluted loss of $(0.06) per limited partner unit.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for earnings from equity method investments ("Adjusted EBITDA") was $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 and was negatively impacted by $1.0 million of expenses associated with the planned corporate conversion and other business development costs. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, including the impact of $4.7 million of non-recurring business development and legal costs associated with the acquisition of our sponsor and general partner, as well as severance costs.
"During the quarter, we completed our major capital projects on time and under budget, quickly ramped production from our second Kermit facility, and meaningfully increased our sales volumes to E&Ps to nearly two-thirds of the total, despite negative impacts from extreme winter weather and related Class 1 rail disruptions," said Robert E. Rasmus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hi-Crush. "We continue to focus on further developing our fully-integrated logistics platform, including our recent acquisitions of the PropDispatch software and Pronghorn Logistics, while continuing to maintain a strong balance sheet position. We remain focused on building for long-term success, serving our customers with the right platform, offering the best products and services operated to the highest standards."
First Quarter 2019 Results
Revenues during the first quarter of 2019 totaled $159.9 million, compared to $162.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Revenues from sales of frac sand were largely unchanged at $115.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $114.8 million in the fourth quarter 2018. The 22% sequential increase in total volumes sold to 2.4 million tons was primarily driven by the continued ramp of our second Kermit facility, which began initial production in December 2018 and achieved full production capability of 3.0 million tons per year in March 2019. The increase in revenues from higher sales volumes was offset by a decline in the average sales price to $48 per ton in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $58 per ton in the fourth quarter of 2018. The 17% quarterly decrease in average sales price was driven by the previously announced contract pricing renegotiations for sand produced from the Kermit facilities, as well as by sales mix, as 46% of volumes sold during the first quarter of 2019 were produced by the in-basin Kermit facilities, which carry lower sales prices than volumes sold at the terminals or the wellsite, as compared to 34% of volumes sold in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Revenues associated with logistics services were slightly higher sequentially at $38.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $37.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The improvement reflects changes in transportation mileage and mix of customers' well completions, offset by lower utilization of container crews and silo systems in the first quarter. Revenues also include $6.6 million in sales of logistics equipment in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $10.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Volumes sold directly to E&Ps represented 63% of the total in the first quarter of 2019, compared to 51% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Of the total sales volumes reported in the first quarter of 2019, 24% were sold at the wellsite through PropStream®, compared to 36% in the fourth quarter of 2018, due to a reduction in the utilization and number of container crews during the first quarter of 2019.
Contribution margin was $12.19 per ton in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $14.35 per ton in the fourth quarter of 2018. The sequential decrease in contribution margin per ton primarily resulted from lower average sales pricing, as well as increased costs of purchased sand and related freight due to operational issues faced by certain Class 1 railroads, which limited shipments from the Partnership’s Wisconsin mines. These impacts were partially offset by sequentially lower average production costs per ton, as sales volumes increased for Northern White and in-basin facilities, and the Kermit facilities represented a greater percentage of overall sand production for the Partnership.
"Our results in the first quarter reflect ongoing industry challenges, but also evidence our ability to derive immediate and long-term value from our new Kermit facility, continue serving customers, and leverage our existing base of assets and relationships with E&Ps," said Laura C. Fulton, Chief Financial Officer of Hi-Crush. "Rail and weather impacts increased overall costs during the quarter due to decreased efficiency, while our previously announced renegotiated contract pricing in West Texas also impacted contribution margin. However, overall market conditions stabilized later in the first quarter. Additional uplift from the fully ramped second Kermit facility, operational Wyeville expansion, and lack of severe winter weather are expected to support improved results in the second quarter."
Operational Update
At the end of the first quarter of 2019, Hi-Crush had 9 PropStream container crews active in the Permian Basin and Marcellus / Utica plays, and 4 PropStream silo systems operating in the Permian Basin.
"During the first quarter, our operations team identified some opportunities to further enhance our silos to meet the evolving needs of increasingly demanding well completions," said Mr. Rasmus. "We are retrofitting first generation silo equipment with upgrades and additional technology that will better serve our customers, and make a good system even better. Along with these equipment enhancements and our investments in technology, we continue to deploy additional Atlas topfill conveyors, which represent a significant innovation in the industry, allowing for quick unloading of hopper bottom trailers carrying up to 27 tons per truckload at the wellsite and maximizing delivered volume per truckload. The combined enhanced offering will greatly improve the overall efficiency of trucking and logistics of sand for our customers."

Golden Ridge plans 4,000 m of phase 1 drilling at Hank
2019-05-23 10:13 ET - News Release
Mr. Mike Blady reports
GOLDEN RIDGE RESOURCES ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR 2019 PHASE I DRILLING PROGRAM AT THE HANK PROJECT IN BC'S GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. has provided the 2019 drill plans for its 100-per-cent-owned Hank project, located in British Columbia's prolific Golden Triangle. The company had a very successful 2018 campaign, which included new drilling discoveries at the Williams zone porphyry target (HNK-18-013 intersected 318.73 metres of 0.42 gram per tonne (g/t) gold, 0.34 per cent copper and 2.20 g/t silver) and the Boiling zone epithermal target (HNK-18-010 intersected 20.00 metres of 11.63 g/t gold and 13.8 g/t silver). Both zones remain open at depth and laterally and the 2019 campaign will utilize a Zinex A5 heli-portable drill rig with drilling capabilities down to 1,325 metres (NQ), which will allow the company to test these zones at far greater depths than possible during the 2018 campaign. A 4,000-metre phase 1 program is planned to start the 2019 drilling campaign. Immediately following, the company will initiate a phase 2 program contingent on phase 1 results. Due to light snow pack conditions in the Golden Triangle, the company will begin mobilization to the property in early June.
In den vergangenen Tagen konnte sich Palladium oberhalb der Unterstützung bei 1.282 USD stabilisieren. Kurzfristig besteht damit weiteres Aufwärtspotenzial, doch übergeordnet ist die große Verkaufswelle seit März noch nicht ausgestanden.
