Alberto Lavandeira, CEO commented:

“Q3 was a consistent quarter operationally with good throughput and improved grades compared to earlier quarters in 2022. These trends are expected to continue in Q4 and into 2023 and support our reiterated 2022 guidance.

In terms of financial results, we were impacted by lower copper prices and very high inflationary pressures, most notably the price of electricity including extremely severe spikes in August and September 2022. Since the end of Q3, electricity prices have decreased by around 40%, due to mild weather and growing wind generation in Spain, reduced industrial demand and a good supply of LNG cargoes.

As a result, we expect that costs will moderate in Q4 2022 and look forward to 2023, when we will also benefit from our new long-term power purchase agreement and the start-up of the 50 MW solar plant, which will together provide around 50% of our electricity requirements at highly competitive rates.

With the benefit of a strong balance sheet, we remain committed to investing in growth. Through greenfield exploration, the development of higher-grade orebodies and Touro, and operating a commercial scale E-LIX plant, we are confident that Atalaya will transform into a growth oriented and diversified multi-asset copper producer.”
