Bernhard Rumbold, Interim President and CEO of Opta Minerals, noted "The Company is in the middle of restructuring its business which includes closing unprofitable locations, reducing costs, simplifying operations and improving the balance sheet by reducing inventory thereby improving liquidity. We have made significant progress in the second quarter and expect to complete most of our restructuring activities by the end of the year. The restructuring impact is isolated to the Industrial Minerals Group and Corporate office, with limited impact on the Steel and Magnesium Group. The financial results reflect the changes we are making and include a number of one time and non-cash costs as a result of the restructuring. Excluding these restructuring costs EBIT would be $1,091 for the quarter and EBITDA would be $2,180. Further details are provided below. We are very pleased with the efforts to improve the balance sheet and free up resources.

We have seen markets and sales improve in the latter half of the second quarter within the Steel and Magnesium Group and expect this momentum to continue for the balance of the year. We will continue to invest in people and capital within Steel and Magnesium and within segments of Industrial Minerals, such as garnet, where we believe we have a competitive advantage and can earn superior returns.

We continue to pursue strategic alternatives for the Company."

Operational and Financial Highlights:


--  Second quarter revenue in the Steel and Magnesium segment decreased
    10.9% from the comparable quarter in 2014. On a year to date basis
    revenues have decreased 9.0% over the comparable period in 2014.
    Excluding the effects of exchange rate movements in the Canadian dollar
    and Euro against the U.S. dollar, revenues have fallen 5.3% and 3.0%
    versus the previous quarter and year to date, respectively. The Steel
    and Magnesium segment has primarily been impacted by a slow down in the
    steel industry.

--  The Industrial Minerals segment revenue decreased approximately 22% on a
    quarter and year to date basis and 18% excluding the impact of exchange
    as compared to the prior year. The decline is partially due to
    restructuring as we eliminate locations and product lines that do not
    provide an adequate return. The Company's focus is to complete these
    restructuring efforts by the end of the year, but also invest in more
    sales resources in areas where we believe there is growth.

--  Gross profit includes charges of $768 in the quarter for additional
    inventory reserves and expected remediation costs related to the closure
    of facilities and the liquidation of certain inventories. Excluding
    these costs, gross margins are 15.1% for the quarter and 13.9% for the
    year to date, respectively. Margins have also been impacted by lower
    sales prices to liquidate inventory and lower volumes affecting plant
    utilization. We believe margins on core products with the Steel Group
    are relatively the same as the prior year.

--  Selling, general and administrative expenses (SGA) were $4,860 or 16.4%
    as a percent of revenues, compared to $4,249 or 12.0% of revenues in the
    prior year quarter. SGA includes approximately $965 in restructuring
    costs including severance accrual for the former CEO. Excluding these
    restructuring costs SGA were 12.1% for the year as a percent of
    revenues, compared to 12.3% in the prior year. SGA is impacted by the
    strengthening US dollar with corporate costs primarily in Canadian
    dollars. The Company is targeting 10% SGA as a percent of revenues.

--  The Company had a write-down of property, plant and equipment in the
    amount of $495 related to the Company's impairment analysis for one
    facility in the Industrial Minerals segment.

--  Results include non-cash foreign exchange gains of $317 in the current
    quarter compared to foreign exchange losses of $616 in the prior year
    comparative quarter. Foreign exchange losses were $465 on a year to date
    basis as compared to $365 in the previous year. These were driven by
    fluctuations in the US dollar against both the Canadian dollar and Euro.

--  Working capital, excluding the reclassification of long-term borrowings
    of $26.3 million, at June 30, 2015 amounted to $18.2 million and total
    assets were $104.2 million, as compared to $21.8 million and $117.7
    million, respectively, at December 31, 2014. Working capital is
    considerably lower than December 31, 2014 driven by the Company's
    efforts to significantly lower inventories. The inventory reduction
    generates improved cash flow with more available liquid assets in
    working capital.

--  Long-term borrowings of $26.3 million have been reclassified to current
    borrowings as a result of the default of certain financial covenants
    stipulated under the Company's credit agreement. Subsequent to June 30,
    2015, the Company obtained a waiver in respect of the covenant default
    from the syndicate of banks. As consideration for the waiver the Company
    is to comply with certain additional financial covenants. The syndicate
    of banks extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility
    from the August 14, 2015 annual renewal date to October 2, 2015.

--  The Company will require the continued support from its current
    financial lenders and, effective October 3, 2015, Opta Minerals will
    require a further extension of its revolving term credit facility and an
    additional waiver of financial covenants, if breached, or an alternative
    source of financing. Failure to meet financial covenants or repay the
    revolving credit facility on maturity would constitute an event of
    default under the credit agreement, unless the lenders agree to a waiver
    or further amendment. The Company believes that it will comply with the
    additional financial covenants and that an extension is likely, but
    there can be no assurance that it will be provided or that alternative
    sources of financing on terms favourable to the Company could be
    obtained. The limited extension of the revolving term credit facility to
    October 2, 2015 has required the inclusion of additional disclosure in
    the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at
    and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.

--  The debt to equity ratio at June 30, 2015 was 1.07 to 1.00, and at
    December 31, 2014 was 1.00 to 1.00.

For further details, please refer to the Company's interim consolidated financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Notes


1.  The term "EBITDA" refers to earnings before deducting finance expense,
    income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that
    EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication
    of the results generated by the Company's main business activities prior
    to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed
    and also prior to taking into consideration non-cash asset depreciation
    and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under International
    Finance Reporting Standards (IFRS), and accordingly, investors are
    cautioned that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net
    earnings or loss determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of
    the financial performance of the Company or as a measure of the
    Company's liquidity and cash flows. The Company's method of calculating
    EBITDA may differ from other issuers and accordingly, EBITDA may not be
    comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

2.  The term "EBIT" refers to earnings before income taxes and finance
    expense. The Company believes that EBIT is useful supplemental
    information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the
    Company's main business activities prior to taking into consideration
    how those activities are financed or taxed. EBIT is a non-IFRS earnings
    measure that does not have standardized measures prescribed by IFRS, and
    therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other
    publicly traded companies.

Wherever possible, words such as "may", 'would", "could", "should", "will", "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "aim", "endeavour", "seek", "predict", "potential" and similar expressions have been used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to management of the Company.
