Second quarter highlights
- Earnings from operations were down because of lower metal prices and
sales volumes
Lower copper and zinc prices reduced sales by $57 million this
quarter compared to the same quarter in 2008. This was offset
somewhat by higher gold and other metal prices, which increased sales
by $16 million. Copper prices this quarter averaged US $2.22 per
pound compared to US $3.83 per pound during the same quarter in 2008.
- Copper production in line with last year
Copper production this quarter was in line with last year's
production. Zinc production was lower because of lower grades mined
and gold production was lower because Troilus began to draw from its
low grade stockpile.
- Copper cash costs were down
Copper cash costs this quarter were US $0.52 per pound compared to
US $0.65 per pound in the second quarter of 2008. Lower direct
production costs and treatment charges helped lower cash costs, but
these were partly offset by lower zinc metal credits. Cash costs are
a non-GAAP measure (see pages 30 to 32).
- Revised production outlook for 2009
Production in the first half of the year was lower than we expected
because of lower grades mined at Cayeli and lower throughput at Ok
Tedi. As a result we have revised our 2009 production objectives to
reflect this. We now expect to produce 100,000 tonnes of copper,
78,000 tonnes of zinc, 230,000 ounces of gold and 411,000 tonnes of
pyrite in 2009.
- Las Cruces produces first copper cathode and receives final approval
for amended dewatering and reinjection system permit
On June 3, Las Cruces produced its first copper cathode and is
working towards achieving its designed annualized production rate
capacity of 72,000 tonnes by February 2010. On July 16, the Water
Authority of Andalucia approved an amended permit for the dewatering
and reinjection system.
- Petaquilla completes its drilling program
We completed the drilling program in June, but we have to finalize a
National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report and the front-
end engineering and design study before we can establish a final
mineral reserve estimate for the Petaquilla project. Preliminary
results, however, indicate that we can expect to meet or exceed our
target for mineral reserves that would support a minimum mine life of
30 years at a throughput rate of 150,000 tonnes per day.
- We successfully issued 7.8 million shares for gross proceeds of
$348 million
On June 25, we closed a bought deal offering of 7.8 million common
shares at an offering price of $44.50 per share for gross proceeds of
$348 million. We plan to use about US $240 million of the proceeds to
fund the repayment of the Las Cruces credit facility, which is
scheduled for July 31, 2009.

Current market environment Although we saw improvement in base metal prices during the first half of the year and despite signs of economic recovery, we continue to consider market conditions to be unsettled. The strength of our financial position, together with our relatively low operating costs, however, lead us to expect that:
<<
- market conditions will not have any impact on our ability to meet
expected production levels
- we will be able to sustain our capital expenditures and remain
consistent with our objectives
- we will continue to pursue our growth objectives by advancing the
Petaquilla project and considering other opportunities as they arise.
>>
We will continue to monitor the metal and financial markets, our financial performance and resources, and our capital spending to make sure we maintain the financial strength we need in these volatile and uncertain markets.

There has been an overall improvement in base metal prices in 2009 so far, and a steady increase in the price of gold. Copper The price of copper increased by over 25 percent this quarter, following a more than 30 percent increase in the first quarter, and reaching a high of US $2.39 per pound in June. The average market copper price for the quarter was US $2.11 per pound, and in June was US $2.27 per pound. The increase was supported by a steady decline in metals exchange inventories, a rise in demand from China, and an improvement in business sentiment. LME warehouse copper inventories fell in June to 266,000 tonnes - the lowest level since November of 2008. Over the last four months, total global exchange stocks have dropped by over 200,000 tonnes and, at the end of June, were 14,000 tonnes lower than they were at the end of 2008. Zinc Zinc averaged US $0.67 per pound this quarter, a 25 percent increase over last quarter, hitting a 9 month high in mid June of US $0.76 per pound. Exchange stocks at LME warehouses increased by 10 percent in June, to 353,000 tonnes, reversing the downward movement of the prior three months. Gold Gold prices continued to increase this quarter, closing at US $935 per ounce. This is a 2 percent increase over the first quarter, which ended at US $917 per ounce. Gold averaged US $923 per ounce this quarter, up from US $908 per ounce in the first quarter. The price of gold was as high as US $982 at the beginning of June because of the weakness of the US dollar and concerns about inflation. Pyrite Toward the end of 2008, the economic downturn began to have a significant effect on demand for sulphur and sulphuric acid. According to analysts, the sulphuric acid market will continue to deteriorate and sulphur prices will continue to be lower over the short to medium term. This will have a direct impact on pyrite prices. Exchange rates Exchange rates affect revenue and earnings. The table below shows the average exchange rates we realized.

Sales are affected by the conversion of US dollar revenue to Canadian dollars. Foreign exchange had a significant impact on our results this quarter compared to the same period last year. The Canadian dollar dropped 16 percent this quarter relative to the US dollar and 1 percent relative to the euro. Net income was $34 million higher this quarter compared to the same quarter last year because of fluctuations in the value of the US dollar and euro relative to the Canadian dollar, as described in the table below.

Copper treatment charges were higher this quarter and year to date than they were last year because contract terms with smelters were less favourable. We finalized our contract terms for zinc smelters in the second quarter at more favourable terms than last year. The second quarter includes adjustments to first quarter charges that were priced at 2008 rates. Statutory tax rates remain consistent The table below shows the statutory tax rates for each of our taxable operating mines.

We record sales using the metal price we receive for sales that settle during the reporting period. For sales that have not been settled, we use an estimate calculated using the month we expect the sale to settle and the forward price of the metal at the end of the reporting period. We recognize the difference between our estimate and the final price we receive by adjusting our gross sales in the period we settle the sale (finalization adjustment). In the second quarter, we recorded $8 million in positive finalization adjustments from first quarter sales. At the end of this quarter, the following sales had not been settled:
<<
- 18 million pounds of copper provisionally priced at US $2.25 per pound
- 14 million pounds of zinc provisionally priced at US $0.70 per pound.
>>
The finalization adjustment we record for these sales will depend on the actual price when the sale settles, which can be up to five months from the time we initially record it. We expect these sales to settle in the following months.

>>
Copper production this quarter was consistent to the same quarter in 2008, because of higher grades at Pyhasalmi, and lower grades at Ok Tedi. Zinc production was down mainly because zinc grades and recoveries at Cayeli and Pyhasalmi were lower. Gold production was down because grades were lower at Troilus as production was drawn from its low grade stockpiles. 2009 outlook for sales Our outlook for sales ties directly to our production outlook. We have revised our original annual production objectives because production at Cayeli, Ok Tedi and Troilus in the first half of the year was lower than we expected. Turn to Results of our operations starting on page 13 for an explanation for each operation. Overall, our copper production objective is now 7,100 tonnes lower, zinc production is lower by 1,100 tonnes, gold by 11,600 ounces and pyrite production by 99,000 tonnes. Our Canadian dollar sales revenues are affected by the US dollar denominated metal price we receive, and the exchange rate between the US dollar and Canadian dollar. Market uncertainty makes it difficult to forecast metal prices, but we remain focused on maximizing the efficiency of our operations to ensure that we remain highly competitive in any economic environment.

Copper treatment and refining charges were higher in 2009 than they were last year because contract terms with smelters were less favourable. Zinc treatment charges were lower in part because sales volumes were lower and also because of more favourable contract terms. 2009 outlook for smelter processing charges and freight We expect copper treatment and refining costs to increase in 2009, and our agreements with our smelters reflect this. We sell approximately 90 percent of our copper concentrate under long-term contracts. We are estimating annual treatment costs of US $75 per dry metric tonne in 2009. We also expect that price participation will continue to be minimal. We expect realized zinc processing charges to be less than US $200 per tonne in 2009. Since the beginning of 2009, smelters have joined mines in cutting zinc production to respond to the decline in demand for refined zinc and to falling prices. We expect zinc mine production to be below smelting requirements this year, which should result in a balanced or deficit zinc concentrate market. Las Cruces began producing copper in June. Its copper cathode production is sold directly to copper fabricators, bypassing the smelters and eliminating smelting and refining charges. Depending on certain conditions, it may also sell crushed ore to smelters and incur smelter processing charges. The costs associated with smelting this material are expected to be higher than at our other operations because of the higher level of impurities in the ore. We expect our ocean freight costs to be about 20 percent lower than they were in 2008 because of the general slowdown in global economic activity. Direct production costs and cost of sales were lower than last year

>>
Direct production costs in 2009 were lower than they were last year mainly because Troilus completed mining in April and began recovering ore from its lower cost stockpiles. Cayeli has also seen the benefit of lower labour costs from the drop in value of the Turkish lira. 2009 outlook for cost of sales We expect cost of sales to increase in 2009 in line with the start of production at Las Cruces. The cost of consumables and energy should go down. The total amount we spend in Canadian dollars will also be affected by the value of the US dollar and euro relative to the Canadian dollar.

Depreciation for Las Cruces should be about $10 million, assuming we capitalize pre-commercial production costs until November.

2009 outlook for investment and other income Investment and other income is affected by cash balances, interest rates and exchange rates. For the remainder of 2009, we expect to repatriate funds only from Ok Tedi. Because Ok Tedi distributes its earnings more frequently, the effect of repatriation is normally not that significant. At June 30, 2009, we held (euro)19 million in Canada that could be affected by foreign exchange gains or losses. We expect to repay 100 percent of Las Cruces' US dollar denominated debt on July 31 (see also 2009 outlook for investing and financing on page 27), and replace it with intergroup debt using the proceeds from our equity offering. As a result of this, Las Cruces terminated its interest rate swap contracts on July 20 paying out $16 million for early termination. This will have the following effects on investment and other income after July 31:
<<
- At June 30, we held US $229 million corporately to be used to fund Las
Cruces. These funds were transferred to Las Cruces in July and because
of the strengthening in the Canadian dollar in July, we will recognize
a foreign exchange loss of about $17 million in the third quarter.
- We will no longer have to report foreign exchange on revaluation of
bank debt, because we are replacing it with intergroup debt and
therefore foreign exchange impacts will eliminate on consolidation.
Las Cruces will continue to be subject to foreign exchange
fluctuations on the intergroup debt on a stand-alone basis.
- When we converted the Las Cruces debt from euro to US dollars in 2008,
Las Cruces settled a foreign exchange forward contract and received
proceeds of $52 million. We deferred the proceeds in accumulated other
comprehensive income, and have been amortizing it to income over the
term of the debt. When we repay the debt, we will realize the
remaining deferred gain of $36 million in investment and other income.
- When we repay the debt, we will reflect the $16 million paid for early
termination of the interest rate swap as a loss in investment and
other income.
>>
Asset impairment We made a decision in 2008 not to proceed with the Cerattepe project. All work ceased on the project and we took a $34 million charge to write down the assets to net realizable value. We took an additional impairment charge of $6 million in the first quarter of 2009, as well as a $6 million tax recovery.

- At Cayeli, we recorded a $6 million tax recovery in the first six
months, related to the impairment on Cerattepe.
- At Las Cruces, we recorded a tax expense for foreign exchange gains
from the translation of US dollar denominated debt.
- The tax expense at Corporate relates to a provision for Quebec mining
duties and a reduction in our future income tax asset to reflect
Troilus' earnings. We reduced our future income tax asset by
$10 million for the six months of 2009 and $1 million for the quarter.
We also recorded Quebec mining duties of $10 million for the six
months and $2 million for the quarter.
>>
2009 outlook for income tax expense We are not expecting any further changes in statutory tax rates at our operations this year.

Production throughput on target for the year Cayeli processed ore this quarter consistent with our annual objective and higher than last year. Grades this quarter and year to June were lower than last year and our 2009 plan because of interruptions in stope sequencing. Copper and zinc production were therefore lower this quarter and year to date compared to 2008. Operating costs for the quarter and year to date were lower than last year, mainly because of the drop in the value of the Turkish lira, which reduced labour costs, and a reduction in the cost of key commodities, such as copper sulphate and electricity. Royalty charges were $2 million less than the second quarter of last year because earnings were lower. 2009 outlook for production and costs We expect grades in 2009 to average 3.5 percent for copper and 6.4 percent for zinc, down from our initial objectives because grades in the first half of the year have been lower than expected. Grades and recoveries should improve during the second half of 2009. We have therefore lowered our annual objectives from 36,800 tonnes of copper to 32,700 tonnes and 56,400 tonnes of zinc to 55,300 tonnes. We have reduced our objective for cost per tonne of ore milled for the year from $81 per tonne to $68 per tonne for the following reasons:
<<
- a stronger Canadian dollar
- cost savings programs
- lower commodity input prices
- lower labour costs.
>>
Royalties also have a significant effect on costs and are variable depending on earnings. Cost per tonne of ore milled included $3 per tonne in royalties in the second quarter and $5 per tonne year to date. We estimate that royalties will be $3 per tonne out of our total 2009 objective of $68 per tonne of ore milled, depending on metal prices. The current three-year labour agreement expired in May 2009 and negotiations with the union are underway. Pay increases for the Cayeli workers have typically been higher than Turkish inflation levels, which we believe is not sustainable. We will make a strong effort to manage labour cost escalations to maintain our competitiveness knowing that this position could result in a short term labour disruption to achieve a long term improvement in our labour costs.

Lower zinc grades reduce zinc production Pyhasalmi maintained its strong production record in the second quarter of 2009, processing at an annualized rate of 1.4 million tonnes. Copper production was higher than the second quarter of last year mainly because of higher grades. Zinc production this quarter continued to be lower than we planned and lower than the second quarter of 2008 because changes in stope sequencing resulted in lower grades. Pyrite production was above the same period last year, but persisting weakness in pyrite demand has reduced sales prices and volumes. Pyhasalmi sold 121,000 tonnes of pyrite in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 142,700 tonnes in the same quarter last year. 2009 outlook for production and costs We expect zinc grades to increase in the second half of the year and anticipate copper and zinc production for the year to be consistent with our earlier estimates. Pressure on mine operating costs caused by increased ground support requirements in the first half of 2009 are expected to be reduced in the second half of the year from lower mill operating materials. We adjusted our pyrite production objective from 510,000 tonnes to 411,000 in response to lower demand.

Las Cruces
First copper cathode produced on June 3
>>
On April 7, 2009Andalucian Regional Ministry of Innovation, Science and Business (CICE) issued a resolution that authorized lifting the mining suspension that had been imposed in May 2008. On April 29, Las Cruces resumed mining, delivered the first truck load of ore to the crusher on May 26, and produced the first copper cathode on June 3. On July 16, the Water Authority of Andalucia authorized and approved operation of the dewatering and reinjection system, based on the modifications proposed in technical documentation Las Cruces provided in September 2008 (the "Global Plan"). The authorization was granted for an operational period of 15 years and a closure period of 5 years. Operations in the pit are progressing well. In May and June, Las Cruces mined 249,000 tonnes of gossan and 23,500 tonnes of copper ore, and produced two tonnes of copper cathode. As expected, there have been normal challenges in the plant during the start-up related to equipment operation, adjustment and component reliability, including for example, performance of the belt filters, adjustment of the pressure filter and corrosion failure of the leaching thickener drive. We consider all of these problems typical in the commissioning of a complex plant and are correcting them as they occur. We do not expect them to have any long term effect on the performance of the metallurgical plant. Metallurgical recoveries to date are encouraging indicating that the target rates are achievable. We delivered the first shipment of LME grade cathode to Cunext Copper Industry in Cordoba, Spain on July 15, 2009. We are focusing on ramping up production to reach the design capacity of 72,000 tonnes of copper cathode per year. Our goal continues to be to reach full production by February 2010 and commercial production (about 60 percent of design capacity) by November 2009. Capital update Las Cruces construction is complete and on budget, and, as at the end of June, only (euro)7 million of the (euro)504 million construction budget remained to be spent. The following table shows total spending for the project to the end of June 2009 and our capital objective for the rest of the year:

Expected copper production for 2009 includes 23,400 tonnes of copper cathode and 5,400 tonnes of copper in ore. We expect to ship ore directly to smelters beginning in December of this year, subject to regulatory approval. Depending on shipping dates and contract terms for title transfer, sales of any production may not be recorded until after the start of 2010. Our overall plan includes shipping a total of 18,200 tonnes of copper ore to smelters, including 12,800 tonnes in 2010. We estimate the following operating earnings and cash flow in 2009, based on commencement of commercial production in November and the assumptions listed on page 13:

Completion of mining activity Troilus completed mining the main 87 pit in April and began recovering the lower-grade stockpile it had accumulated over the past several years. This lowered gold and copper grades and production in the second quarter, and lowered cost per tonne compared to the previous year. Site restoration began this quarter, with Troilus placing moraine on dumps and safety berms around the pits. 2009 outlook for production and costs Troilus will continue to recover stockpiled ore for the rest of the year,and should meet its targeted copper production. We have reduced Troilus' gold production objective to 128,000 ounces from 132,200 ounces because deteriorating mining conditions prevented recovery of ore from the pit bottom in April. We will submit our revised closure plan to the provincial authorities in the second half of the year and will continue with restoration of the site. We will continue to lay off mining and maintenance personnel as primary reclamation activities and pit clean up are completed.

Throughput will improve after mine tailings management plant has reached
designed performance
>>
Ok Tedi has begun to modify the tailings management plant, and expects to complete this work in the third quarter. It therefore mined only ores with low sulphur content in the first and second quarters. Despite this change in mine plan, however, gold and copper grades were consistent with expectations. Mill throughput this quarter and year to date was consistent with last year, but lower than expected because of low grinding rates on certain ores. The cost per tonne of ore milled this quarter and year to date was higher than in 2008 mainly because of the weaker value of the Canadian dollar. On June 2, we entered into a non-binding draft term sheet with PNG Sustainable Development Programme Limited (PNG SDPL), the 52 percent majority shareholder of Ok Tedi Mining Limited (OTML), to exchange our 18 percent equity interest in OTML for a 5 percent net smelter return (NSR) royalty from OTML on product revenues from the Ok Tedi mine. We are waiting for the consent of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, which owns 30 percent of OTML and the consent of BHP Billiton Ltd., which previously ceded its 52 percent interest in OTML to PNG SDPL, among other things, before the transaction can proceed. 2009 outlook for production and costs We have adjusted our objectives for 2009 to compensate for the shortfall in production in the first half of the year. We expect gold and copper production to be lower than originally anticipated because of lower throughput. Until the mine tailings management plant is completed and working at designed levels, Ok Tedi can put only a limited amount of sulphur in the ore feed. Staying within these limits is a constraint on mining and, if the project is delayed, could result in shortfalls in ore tonnes or grades. Operating the plant to achieve designed results is critical not only to achieve annual production objectives but also for the continued responsible operation of the mine. The pit drainage tunnel project is behind schedule because there have been changes to the construction plan. The tunnel is critical because it allows water to drain freely from the pit until the end of the mine life. Ok Tedi has installed a temporary pumping system so mining can continue uninterrupted while the tunnel is being built.

Status of our development project
Petaquilla
Quarterly development update
>>
There are three main activities at Petaquilla: drilling, social and environmental impact assessment and engineering. Drilling We completed the drilling program in June, but we have to finalize a National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report and the front-end engineering and design (FEED) study before we can establish a final mineral reserve estimate for the Petaquilla project. Preliminary results, however, indicate that we can expect to meet or exceed our target for mineral reserves that would support a minimum mine life of 30 years at a throughput rate of 150,000 tonnes per day. Social and environmental impact assessment and community development First drafts of the baseline studies are being completed and we are progressing with impact assessment and identification of options. We expect to submit an impact assessment (EsIA) to the Panamanian environmental authorities by the end of 2009. Engineering We continued with engineering work and expect to complete the FEED study by the end of 2009. The base case for the FEED study is a throughput rate of 150,000 tonnes per day, which equates to an average annual production of 275,000 tonnes of copper for the first 10 years. We have also begun a metallurgical program to further review the throughput rate and explore opportunities to optimize this rate. We are working with a large international power company to pursue the development of a coal-fired electric generating plant in parallel with the development of Petaquilla. This plant would supply all the electricity required for operation of the project. 2009 outlook for development In early 2010, once the final FEED study is complete and the EsIA is submitted, we expect to begin detailed engineering. At the same time, we intend to seek approval of the EsIA and begin the permitting process for construction. If we receive the permits in time, we should be able to complete construction in 2014. We expect to spend approximately $94 million in 2009 to fund this work. We are continuing to meet with potential partners for the development of Petaquilla. We have approached certain potential partners and some of them have expressed an interest in the project. Others have approached us to express their interest. We will evaluate the suitability of all potential partners. Proposals could take a variety of forms or structures including, but not limited to, direct investments in the project, financing related to concentrate purchases, direct investments in Inmet or other forms of financing. We plan to pursue these opportunities but there can be no assurance that any transaction will be consummated. Managing our liquidity We plan our financing strategy by assessing our long-term financial requirements, reviewing our future capital needs and determining the optimal mix of several alternatives, including our significant cash position, future operating cash flow, credit facilities and project financing. When planning our capital structure, we include a liquidity cushion that allows us to address operational disruptions or general market downturns, such as the current weakness of the global economy.

Operating cash flows are lower than they were in 2008 because of lower operating earnings and a large outflow of cash related to working capital. We repaid smelters the excess provisional payments they made in 2008, before copper prices dropped, which decreased cash flow by approximately $48 million for the first six months. 2009 outlook for cash from operating activities Volatile markets make it more difficult than usual to develop reliable estimates for commodity prices and foreign exchange rates.

Proceeds from public offering On June 25 we completed a public offering of 7.825 million common shares of Inmet Mining, on a bought deal basis, at a price of $44.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $348 million ($334 million net of transaction costs). We will use about US $240 million of the net proceeds of the offering to repay the debt under Las Cruces' project financing facility. We will use the balance for general corporate purposes. Long-term debt repayments In the first half of 2009, Las Cruces made its first scheduled repayment of US $12 million under Tranche A of its credit facility. It also repaid (euro)42 million under Tranche B (an amount equal to the subsidies received). We expect Las Cruces to receive the remaining (euro)3 million in subsidies in the third quarter. On July 31, we expect Las Cruces to repay the remaining US $203 million under Tranche A, (euro)5 million under Tranche B and to cash collateralize about US $30 million in letters of credit. This will eliminate the Las Cruces project credit facility. In connection with the decision to repay the credit facility, Las Cruces paid US $14 million in July to terminate its interest rate swap contract. Settlement of foreign currency forward contract When we converted the Las Cruces debt from euro to US dollars on June 30, 2008, Las Cruces settled a foreign exchange forward contract and received proceeds of $52 million on that date. 2009 outlook for investing and financing We expect capital spending to be $294 million in 2009. The more significant items include:
<<
- $88 for the Las Cruces processing plant
- $94 million for work on the development plan at Petaquilla
- $10 million for pit development and $7 million for an underground
drainage tunnel at Ok Tedi.
>>
Until we start receiving proceeds from sales at Las Cruces, we plan to fund its costs using sponsor contributions and value added tax refunds. We also plan to fund Las Cruces so it can repay its credit facility. We will be funding 100 percent of the repayment of the credit facility at Las Cruces and as a result the funding will be effected so that Leucadia's 30 percent interest in Las Cruces is neither economically benefited nor disadvantaged as compared to the terms currently in effect under the Las Cruces credit facility. After we repay the debt, long-term debt on our consolidated financial statements will be significantly lower and restricted cash will increase by about $36 million. The restricted cash will be used as cash collateral for the letters of credit that had been secured under the credit facility.
<<
Financial condition
CASH
>>
Our cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2009 was $835 million. This included cash and money market instruments that mature in 90 days or less, and short-term investments that mature in 91 days to a year. Our policy is to invest excess cash in highly liquid investments of the highest credit quality and to limit our exposure to individual counterparties to minimize the risk associated with these investments. We base our decisions about the length of maturities on our cash flow requirements, rates of return and other factors. General worldwide economic conditions have weakened dramatically since the end of the third quarter of 2008. In response, we are now mainly invested in treasury funds to minimize liquidity risk until normal market conditions return. At June 30, 2009, we held cash and short-term investments in the following:
<<
- Canada and provincial T-Bills
- Short-term debt instruments issued by Canadian Crown Corporations
- Highest rated asset backed commercial paper programs sponsored by
leading Canadian financial institutions backed by global style
liquidity lines
- AAA rated treasury funds and money market funds managed by leading
international fund managers investing in money market and short-term
debt securities and fixed income securities issued by leading
international financial institutions and their sponsored
securitization vehicles
- Cash, term and overnight deposits with leading Canadian and
international financial institutions benefiting directly and
indirectly from support programs by various governments and central
banks.
See note 4 on page 45 in the consolidated financial statements for more
details about where our cash is invested.
Our restricted cash balance of $69 million included:
- $17 million in trust for future reclamation at Ok Tedi
- $17 million of cash collateralized letters of credit for Inmet
- $33 million related to issuing letters of credit to suppliers at
Las Cruces and for its labour bond to the government
- $2 million for future reclamation at Pyhasalmi.
>>
After we repay the Las Cruces credit facility, restricted cash will increase by about $36 million mainly to secure the Las Cruces reclamation bond that had been secured under the credit facility.

Accounting changes
Plans on transition to International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS):
>>
The Accounting Standards Board confirmed in February 2008 that International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) will replace current Canadian GAAP for financial periods beginning on and after January 1, 2011. IFRS is based on a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP, but there are significant differences in recognition, measurement and disclosure. While the adoption of IFRS will not change the actual cash flows we generate, it will result in changes to our reported financial position and results of operations. We have prepared a comprehensive IFRS convergence plan that addresses the changes in accounting policy, restatement of comparative periods, internal control over financial reporting, modification of existing systems, the training and awareness of staff, as well as other related business matters. Senior financial management who report to and are overseen by Inmet's Audit Committee are responsible for planning and implementing the conversion. To date, we have completed an initial draft of all our significant accounting policies. Over the next several months we will quantify and prepare the calculations to adjust our financial statements using these initial new policies. This exercise will either validate our accounting policy choices or tell us to rethink them. The work prepared to date has indicated that we are not expecting significant changes to the carrying values of property, plant and equipment, but based on current IFRS we expect significant effects on our accounting for business combinations going forward. Current exposure drafts on accounting for joint venture interests, which currently includes our investment in Ok Tedi, and future income taxes could also have significant effects on our financial statements. We will continue to monitor these exposure drafts. We will complete and finalize our accounting policies under IFRS during the rest of the year, prepare the notes to our IFRS financial statements, calculate all differences and document new internal controls. Our goal is to restate our December 31, 2009 Canadian GAAP balance sheet to IFRS in the first quarter of 2010. Supplementary financial information Pages 31 and 32 include supplementary financial information about cash costs. These measures do not fall into the category of generally accepted accounting principles. We use unit cash cost information as a key performance indicator, both on a segmented and consolidated basis. We have included cash costs as supplementary information because we believe our key stakeholders use these measures as a financial indicator of our profitability and cash flows before the effects of capital investment and financing costs, such as interest. Since cash costs are not recognized measures under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles they should not be considered in isolation of earnings or cash flows. There is also no standard way to calculate cash costs, so they are not a reliable way to compare us to other companies. About Inmet Inmet is a Canadian-based global mining company that produces copper, zinc and gold. We have interests in five mining operations in locations around the world: Cayeli, Pyhasalmi, Las Cruces, Troilus and Ok Tedi. We also have a 100 percent interest in the Petaquilla development property in Panama. This press release is also available at www.inmetmining.com

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. Significant accounting policies
Our interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of
the disclosure required for annual financial statements under
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and they have not
been reviewed by our external auditors. These statements do, however,
follow the same accounting policies and methods of application used
in our most recent annual consolidated financial statements, except
for the differences explained in note 2. You should read our interim
statements in conjunction with our annual statements, which you can
find in our 2008 Annual Review.
2. Changes in accounting policies
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted CICA Handbook Section 3064,
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which replaces Section 3062 -
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Section 3450 - Research and
Development Costs. This new standard establishes standards for the
recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill
subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets. It
provides guidance for recognizing internally developed intangible
assets, and ensuring consistent treatment of all intangible assets,
whether separately acquired or internally developed. Standards
concerning goodwill are unchanged from the standards included in the
previous section. The adoption of this standard did not have an
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Issues Committee 173 - Credit Risk and the fair value of
financial assets and financial liabilities
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted EIC-173, Credit Risk and the
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
retroactively, without restatement. This EIC provides guidance on how
to take into account credit risk of an entity and counterparty when
determining the fair value of financial assets and financial
liabilities, including derivative instruments. The adoption of EIC
173 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Credit facility
This quarter, Las Cruces repaid (euro) 37.0 million under Tranche B
equal to subsidies received. Additionally Las Cruces made a scheduled
repayment of US $12 million under Tranche A. The credit facility
loans approximate fair value because the loans accrue interest at
prevailing market rates.
On July 17, 2009, Las Cruces issued a notice to repay amounts
outstanding under its credit facility on July 31, 2009 and these
amounts have been classified as current liabilities.
Loans from non-controlling shareholder
This quarter, Las Cruces received intercompany loan advances of
(euro) 40 million. These loans bear interest at EURIBOR plus 6.1
percent and are due to be repaid on February 25, 2020. The non-
controlling portion of these loans, (euro) 116 million, is reflected
in long-term debt at June 30, 2009. Loans from non-controlling
shareholders approximate fair value because the loans accrue interest
at prevailing market rates.
9. Commitments
Our operations have the following capital commitments as at June 30,
2009:
- Ok Tedi has committed approximately $116.3 million (our
proportionate share is $20.9 million) to capital expenditures
related to the mine waste management project.
- Las Cruces has committed $6.6 million for engineering, procurement
and construction management related to the process plant.
- Petaquilla has committed $166 million for the design and supply of
certain mill equipment.
- Cayeli has capital commitments related to drilling equipment
amounting to $2.4 million.
Las Cruces' restoration bond increased by (euro) 5.4 million year to
date, to (euro) 20.2 million, because of development activities in
2008.
10. Leases
Las Cruces has a contract for the supply of oxygen, effective during
the first quarter, from a plant owned and operated by a third party
and located at the mine site. This arrangement contains a capital
lease with minimum lease payments of:
2009 $2,001
2010 2,668
2011 2,668
2012 2,668
2013 2,668
Thereafter 27,348
----------------------------------------------------
Total $40,021
----------------------------------------------------
We have recognized the oxygen plant in property, plant and equipment
at $25 million. This amount is based on the total minimum future
lease payments, discounted at Las Cruces' incremental borrowing rate
of 8.2 percent. We have also recognized capital lease obligations of
$25 million in other liabilities. The oxygen plant will be
depreciated over its estimated useful life of 15 years once Las
Cruces is substantially complete.
11. Las Cruces subsidies
During the second quarter, Las Cruces received (euro) 37 million in
subsidy grants. This operation must meet certain minimum employment
and share capital requirements for a five year period, otherwise
subsidies received must be repaid. Las Cruces expects to meet these
conditions and has recognized total subsidies of (euro) 53 million as
a reduction of the cost of the related property, plant and equipment.
12. Share capital
On June 25, 2009, we completed a public offering of 7.825 million
common shares, on a bought deal basis, at a price of $44.50 per share
for aggregate gross proceeds of $348 million ($333 million net of
estimated transaction costs).
