Investment thesis
Big contract mining area not yet fully exploited
Marcventures Holdings Inc (MARC) is one of the top five nickel miners and
also one of the low-cost producers in the Philippines. A wholly-owned
subsidiary, Marcventures Mining and Development Corp (MMDC), holds a
mineral production sharing agreement on 4,799 hectares located mostly in
the municipality of Cantilan, and extending to the municipality of
Carrascal, both of which are in Surigao del Sur province. Of the claim area,
exploration work has been done on 1,610 hectares, which is the basis for
the current resource-reserve volume of 57m wet metric tons (WMT) that is
expected to last until 2019. Further exploration is likely to result in higher
resource-reserve volume. MARC’s only product for the past three years has
been nickel ore, all of which is exported to China.

Jump in production reflected in rising income


Since mine operations started in 2011, MARC has increased shipment
volume to 2.8m WMT in 2013 from 0.62m WMT. The jump in production
occurred in 2013 when 13.6k WMT in saprolite exports was augmented with
2.78m WMT of limonite exports. As a result, net income soared to PHP1b in
2013 from PHP209m in 2011. This year, even with the four-month
suspension of operations that ended in August, MARC estimates it will be
able to export 3.0m WMT and maintain net income at PHP1b.

Well placed to benefit from soaring nickel prices


Along with other nickel miners in the Philippines, MARC has benefited from
surging nickel prices as a result of the Indonesian ore ban. The supply
deficit in nickel is expected to last until at least 2018, and longer if
stainless steel demand continues to grow, even at a slower pace than the
current 7%. Consequently, prices are likely to remain high. MARC plans to
ship out 1.5m WMT of saprolite and 1.5m WMT of limonite annually starting
in 2015, while 2014 volume split will be similar to 2013’s. With nickel
prices forecast at USD25/WMT for limonite and USD9-15/lb for saprolite,
we forecast 2014 income to rise 74% to PHP1.8b and more than triple to
PHP6.0b in 2015.

Cash dividends likely to be sustained


With 2013 profit up almost 9x YoY, MARC declared a 50% cash dividend pay-
out last year, its first since mine operations began in 2011.When it was
paid out in Dec 2013, the dividend yield was 4.5%. As MARC is in a net cash
position and capex requirements are not overly large, we expect dividend
payments can be sustained on the back of strong cash flows.

Potential upside of 41%


On the expectation nickel prices will remain elevated and based on the
current resource-reserve volume of MARC, our DCF-based fair value and
target price is PHP9.42. With upside potential of 41%, we initiate coverage
of MARC with a BUY rating.

Risks and concerns


Risks to our forecasts are the renewal of the mineral production sharing
agreement in 2016, terms of which are dependent on the revenue-sharing
scheme that still has to be enacted into law, pending bills in Congress that
aim to ban direct shipping of ores similar to the Indonesian ore ban and the
pending application to increase production to 5m WMT annually from 3m.

Resources/reserves may last until after 2019


The area covered by the mineral production sharing agreement 016-93-XI
held by Marcventures Mining and Development Corp (100% subsidiary of
MARC) is located in the Diwata mountain range of Surigao del Sur. It spans
an area of 4,799 hectares. The mine is covered by environmental
compliance certificate 0807-022-1093 issued by the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources. The current resource-reserve volume
is based on 1,610 hectares of exploration work. It stands at 57m WMT or
356k tonnes of contained nickel.

In Figure 2 below, the pink areas are the explored portions and the brown
areas are known nickel laterite deposits containing areas for future
exploration. There is still room for the resource–reserve volume to go up.
Currently, mine life is six years or until 2019 for saprolite and 13 years for
limonite or until 2026. Should the results of further exploration indicate
higher resources, the life of the mine under existing market conditions will
be prolonged.

September 4, 2014 3
Marcventures Holdings

Most interesting is the extent of the area still to be explored at the bottom
of Figure 2 as this is where the high-grade saprolite is. With the Indonesian
ore ban creating a deficit scenario at least until 2018, the plan is to focus
on higher-value saprolite in exploration work to ride on the prevailing high
prices that are expected to be around until at least 2018.

Operations resumed after suspension by MGB


The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), through
the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), suspended MARC’s operations in
April 2014 in response to complaints it was operating outside the approved
mining area, it failed to implement environmental mitigation measures in
the contract area and it was not following the submitted three-year work
programme. Based on the findings of the monitoring team sent in July to
verify the complaints, MGB requested MARC to address issues raised prior
to review of the suspension order.

September 4, 2014 4
Marcventures Holdings

MARC filed a motion for reconsideration and simultaneously started


addressing the issues pointed out by MGB. An amended declaration of mine
project feasibility (DMPF) to cover both Cantilan and Carrascal portions of
the MPSA contract area was pushed to remedy the complaint of operating
outside the approved mining area. MGB is processing the amended DMPF
while the existing one continues to be valid. MARC is also cleaning up the
silt dams and doing other environmental mitigating measures. The latest
request to clean up the mine site of stockpile is also being addressed by
shipping out the stock, which is equivalent to eight boatloads of limonite
ore. The suspension order was lifted in August.

Shipping out more high-grade ore soon


MARC’s saprolite deposit is considered high grade and their current
reserves and exploration activity are geared towards exploiting this
opportunity. With prices hovering at USD95/WMT and total mining cost of
around USD18/WMT, reserves of over 6m WMT will easily contribute
USD77/WMT annually. At a budgeted volume of 1.5m WMT, this translates
to USD116m in annual profit contribution. Meanwhile, MARC also plans to
ship out 1.5m WMT of high-iron limonite, which carries a contribution
margin of over USD12/WMT or USD18m in annual profit.

For 2014, the effect of the MGB suspension is to increase limonite


production as it is easier to mine while ramping up production of saprolite
to hit the 0.4m WMT budget. In addition to the eight boatloads or 400k
WMT of limonite to clean up the mine site, MARC had earlier shipped out
1.045m WMT of limonite and YTD it is 1.4m WMT. We expect production of
limonite will reach 2.6m WMT because third-party mining contractors are
being used to fast-track production. All told, we think the 3.0m WMT
target volume will be achieved by October, when the shipping window
closes.

From 2015 onwards, the intention is to split 3.0m WMT equally between
limonite and saprolite. Priority is being given to the higher-valued saprolite
deposit while the limonite will be mined until end of life. In effect, total
resource of 6.23m WMT of saprolite will be mined at an annual rate of
1.5m WMT and 51m WMT of limonite will be mined at an annual rate of
1.5m WMT until the saprolite is depleted. Upon saprolite depletion,
limonite production will jump to 3.0m WMT. The limonite found in the
mine is predominantly the low-nickel high-iron type, which is basically
used as feed material for carbon steel mills.

Industry landscape
Indonesian ore ban triggers potential supply deficit
In January 2014, the Indonesian government implemented the ban on
export of raw ore or directly shipping ore. The law was passed in 2009 but
was enforced only this year. The law requires miners to process their ore
with certain purity ratios. This affected copper, nickel and bauxite. Tin
was previously affected by a 2002 order and coal was exempted as it
undergoes no more processing. Indonesia is the largest nickel laterite
exporter in the world with exports containing over 500,000 MT of nickel in
a 2m MT world market. In effect, 25% of global supply was suddenly
removed from the market. The capacity of the Philippines to supply the
1.8% nickel laterite is limited and is less than 15% (9m vs 54m shipped out

September 4, 2014 5
Marcventures Holdings

by Indonesia in 2013) of supply of nickel laterite ore to China. The removal


of the supply from Indonesia has swung the demand-supply situation from
surplus to deficit. From literature available, the deficit is forecast until
2020.

NPI industry is main market


There are two buyers of nickel laterite and both are preliminary processors
to stainless steel processors. These are the ferronickel producers and the
nickel pig iron (NPI) producers. NPI has a much larger market share as they
produce the 5%-10%-15% nickel iron ingots with ferronickel producers doing
the 15%-20+% nickel. Current capacity of NPI producers stands at 8.0m MT.
Depending on the product (5%-10%-15%), contained nickel demand can be
as low as 400k MT to a high of 1.2m MT. In 2013 NPI producers in China
consumed 502,000 MT of contained nickel but due to the Indonesian ore
ban is projected to drop to 380k MT in 2014 and further to 215k MT before
recovering when the Indonesian NPI plants start producing in 2016.
Current purging of old NPI producers in China which use heavily polluting
furnaces is also part of the reason for the decline in production capacity.

Global nickel production from laterite sources account for 84.8% of the
1.97m-MT market in 2013. Easily 40% of global nickel consumption is China
and the NPI market consumes about 70% of contained nickel. Indonesia
supplied 57% (409k MT) of the 714k MT of nickel used in China with the
Philippines’ 90k MT accounting for 12.6% in 2013. Due to the cost of
shipping, only three countries (Philippines, Indonesia and New Caledonia)
supply nickel laterite to China. The cost of shipping from Brazil and
Guatemala is expensive for Chinese buyers and turnaround time of more
than a month with volatile metal prices make it difficult to lock in
contracts. The turnaround time for the Philippines is 4-6 days, Indonesia is
9-14 days and New Caledonia 24-30 days. New Caledonia producers are
dedicated to processing their ores while some small players are exporting
ores directly. Due to the high cost of shipping, New Caledonia is a small
exporter of nickel laterite to China even if total production is similar to
the Philippines. Both countries account for 5% each of world production.

Due to surging nickel ore prices, there is a change in product mix occurring
with low-grade NPI products growing dramatically. This is favorable for
blast furnace (BF) plants which can treat limonite ores with ease as
compared to the rotary kiln electric furnace plants. Consequently, the
projected drop in NPI production in 2014-2016 may not be so dramatic.
This would be good news for MARC as it produces the feed material for BF
plants.

STS market is final consumer


The stainless steel (STS) market has grown 38% to 38.9m MT in 2013 from
28.2m MT in 2007. During the same period China STS production surged
174% to 19.5m in 2013. In 2013, China constituted 50% of world
production. Its share has been expanding as ex-China production during the
same period shrank 8% to 19.4m MT in 2013 from 21.1m MT in 2007. The
segments of the STS market we are interested in is the 200 and 300 series.
Both have minimum content of 11% chromium but their nickel content
varies. The 200 series would have 1-2% nickel and account for 20% of
world STS production while the 300 series would have 8% nickel and
account for 55%. The STS market is projected to grow with China carrying
bulk of the growth. Any increase in Europe and the US would be a welcome
boost to demand and create a bigger deficit in the future.

September 4, 2014 6
Marcventures Holdings

Repeat of high prices seen in previous supply deficit


Due to the Indonesian ore ban the supply of nickel laterite ore will be
choked and the NPI industry in China will feel the strain. Already, excess
capacity is being reduced and unprofitable operations closed due to the
lack of raw material supply. Meanwhile Chinese NPI producers are already
setting up NPI facilities in Indonesia with production expected by 2016.
The STS industry will continue to grow albeit at a slower pace given the
adjustments in the economy of China and the rest of the world. With
supply bottlenecks and growth in the STS industry, albeit slower, nickel
will likely be in deficit this year and up to 2020 according to studies from
the International Nickel Study Group (Figure 3a). Working from that
scenario, and assuming no growth in the STS industry, we see a small
surplus starting in 2019 (Figure 3b).

Price behaviour in 2005-2011 when a supply deficit existed had nickel at


USD10/lb and during the big-deficit years averaging USD14/lb with a high of
USD22/lb in 2006. This behaviour is expected to occur again within the
deficit years of 2014 until 2020.

Strong growth in profitability

More shipments of high-margin products


We forecast 2014 net income will grow 74% to PHP1.8b due to higher prices
for limonite and saprolite ores as well as an increase in production of the
higher-priced high-grade saprolite ore to 0.4m WMT from 13.6k WMT in
2013. We expect 2015 to be a banner year with profits and margins
reaching record levels as net income almost triples to PHP6.0b, with
shipments of 1.5m WMT of limonite and 1.5m WMT of saprolite. These will
be on the back of projected mining costs of USD10-12/WMT for high-iron
limonite and USD18-20/WMT for saprolite ores as against current prices of
USD32/WMT and USD105/WMT, respectively.

Strong free cash flows to support dividend payments


We expect MARC’s free cash flows to double to PHP1.9b this year and more
than triple to PHP6.1b by end-2015F. Anchored on the company’s sustained
healthy operations, pre-tax income is expected to post a two-year CAGR of
191% in 2013-15F, while the need for additional working capital would
likely remain minimal. We also believe annual capex to be used mainly for
maintenance will remain steady at PHP82m in 2014F-16F. This supports our
50% annual dividend pay-out assumption, which translates to a 7.2% and
24.7% dividend yield in 2014F and 2015F, respectively.

September 4, 2014 8
Marcventures Holdings

Potential 41% upside, BUY


In our DCF-based valuation model, we took as given the published
resources and planned mining rate of 3.0m WMT annually. We assumed two
price levels: negotiated price for limonite and LME-based for saprolite with
the following projected prices.

Limonite USD25/WMT for 2014-2018


USD20/WMT henceforth

Saprolite USD8.76/lb for 2014


USD15/lb for 2015
USD12/lb in 2016
USD10/lb for 2017 until 2020
USD8/lb henceforth,

With WACC of 9%, the resulting fair value and target price is PHP9.42.

As potential upside is 41%, initiate coverage on MARC with a BUY rating.

Risks and concerns

The life of the mineral production sharing agreement 016-93-XI held by


Marcventures Mining and Development Corp is until 2018. Come 2016, an
application to renew the MPSA contract has to be made. We do not know
what the terms will be as changes to the revenue portions of the Mining
Law (Republic Act 7942) are still being determined.

There are two bills now in Congress proposing that all ores mined in the
country be processed before being exported to increase value added and
attract investments. This is similar to the Indonesian ore ban. Without
going into the merits of the bills, we simply note the Philippine legislative
mill grinds slowly. Proposed laws have to go through the House of
Representatives and the Senate and then the two versions have to be
unified. The bill also has to get support from the government agencies who
will implement it because President Aquino has veto power. Finally, when
a bill is signed into law it cannot be enforced until the implementing rules
and regulations are ready, which can take time. Meanwhile there are 21
months before the next national and local elections in 2016. We believe
the likelihood of any one of these bills getting passed is low.

There is a pending application to expand production to 5m WMT from 3m


per year. If approved, this will further improve the profit outlook for
MARC.
