China Shen Zhou Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

 

 

BEIJING, CHINA, August 14, 2012  -- China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc. ("China Shen Zhou” or the "Company”) (NYSE AMEX: SHZ), a Company engaged in the exploration, development, mining and processing of fluorite, barite, zinc, copper, and other nonferrous metals in China, today announced financial results for the second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Second Quarter Financial Summary

 

·Revenues were $7.6 million;

 

·Gross profit was $1.4 million, a gross margin of 18.4%;

 

·Net loss attributable to China Shen Zhou was $2.0 million, and net loss per basic and diluted share of five cents.

 

Ms. Xiaojing Yu, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of China Shen Zhou commented, "Despite the challenges we faced during the second quarter, Shen Zhou Mining is still backed by high quality fluorspar asset with its highly strategic value and broad downstream applications. We believe our stock is deeply undervalued. Meanwhile, the Chinese government's support of fluorite as a key industrial raw material continues to raise industry barriers of entry. Our large fluorite deposits, established marketing channels and strategic partnerships with downstream fluoride manufacturers position us well to lead the Chinese fluorite industry and capture future opportunities."

 

Second Quarter Financial Results

 

Net sales were $7.6 million compared with $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in net sales was mainly due to decreased sales volume for fluorite and zinc concentrate powder.

G&A expense as a percentage of total net sales was 37.9% compared with 36.3% in the second quarter of 2011, mainly due to the decrease in net revenues.
