BMO sees ‘better times ahead’ for Primero Mining

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

VANCOUVER — Primero Mining (TSX: P; NYSE: PPP) is a favoured mid-tier gold producer amongst analysts, and it isn’t hard to see why after a strong second quarter, marked by competitive operating costs and signs of operational improvement across its mines. The company has engineered a turnaround at its Black Fox underground gold mine in Ontario, and its mill expansion at its San Dimas gold-silver mine in Mexico is ahead of schedule and below budget.

In the second quarter Primero produced 62,490 equivalent oz. gold, tabled US$67.4-million in revenue, and had operating cash flow before changes in working capital of US$22.6 million. Black Fox chipped in 18,362 oz. gold, while San Dimas accounted for 36,500 oz. gold and 2.15 million oz. silver.

The company is transitioning Black Fox from away from a lowergrade open-pit mine to a highergrade underground operation.

TNM August 17 2015 Issue.indd 1

Primero reported that its underground ramp-up achieved 700-tonne-per-day average throughput in July, and it expects to reach a 1,000-tonne-per-day production rate by the end of the third quarter. Black Fox total cash costs during the quarter dropped 24% year-on-year to US$762 per oz., while production was up 27% compared to the first quarter.

“In our mind the turnaround at Black Fox is certainly becoming evident, and we’re quite pleased with it. We expect even stronger performances from [the mine] during the third and fourth quarters in terms of production and grade, and we continue to have confidence that’s going to happen,” CEO Joseph Conway said during a conference call.

“I think you’re seeing the reason why we’re excited about Canada, and that reason is the potential at Black Fox. We certainly see [the mine] demonstrating its potential as a turnaround and as an exploration project with depth potential,” See PRIMERO, Page 3

Ur-Energy churns out a profit, defying weak uranium market

Pressure vessels and piping at Ur-Energy’s Lost Creek in-situ recovery uranium mine in Wyoming.

BY SALMA TARIKH

Ur-Energy (TSX: URE; NYSEMKT: URG) produced its first net profit during the quarter ended June 2015 at its Lost Creek in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium facility in Wyoming, after bringing the mine online in August 2013.

“Make no mistake, our two-year

period has been filled with plenty of trials and tribulations. The commissioning process is never easy, but I like to think that we have done a good job of navigating it,” Jeffrey Klenda, the company’s executive director and acting CEO, said on a conference call.

Barrick ‘all but assured’ to meet debt target, Canaccord says

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

VANCOUVER — Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) appears on track to achieve a US$3-billion debt reduction target this year after a few key asset sales, a streaming agreement and a commitment to cutting capital spending across the board. According to analysts from Canaccord Genuity, however, the company still has a “key area of opportunity” in regards to reining in operating expenditures by adjusting mining methods and planning.

Barrick reported second-quarter production of 1.45 million oz. gold at all-in sustaining costs of US$895 per oz. The company registered a net loss of US1¢ per share and adjusted earnings of US5¢ per share during the quarter.

Operating and free cash flow were US$525 million and US$26 million.

The company instituted a new “capital allocation framework” wherein it cut capital costs and deferred spending to maximize free cash flow. Barrick aims to reduce its company-wide spending

by US$2 billion by the end of 2016.

“We’re starting to see momentum building behind the strategy we outlined earlier this year. Underpinning our operating and financial performance has been a cultural shift to reclaim the best of Barrick’s original qualities: agility, efficiency, determination and accountability,” co-president Kelvin Dushnisky commented during a conference call.

“We are focused on strengthening our mine plants, reducing spending and improving productivity to maximize free cash flow from our operations,” he added.

Barrick has repaid US$250 million of debt so far this year from its cash balance. When combined with US$2.5 billion of sales agreements announced to date, that figure represents 90% of the company’s debt-reduction target.

Barrick recently closed the US$550-million cash divestment of its Cowal gold mine to Australia’s Evolution Mining (ASX: CAH), and vended half of

US1¢ per share, beating the adjusted nil per share that Raymond James analyst David Sadowski forcasted. He attributes the slight beat to better operating results.

Steven Hatten, Ur-Energy’s vice-president of operations, noted that his team produced, drummed and shipped the millionth uranium oxide (U3O8) lb. from Lost Creek in June, and called this an “amazing feat,” and a “big milestone for any operation.”

The Lost Creek property sits in the northeastern corner of Sweetwater County in south-central Wyoming. The 170 sq. km propSee UR-ENERGY, Page 2 PM40069240 – PAP Registration #09263

The junior has increased output while lowering its operating costs.

During the second quarter, Lost Creek cranked out 207,268 lb.

U3O8, marking its fourth straight quarterly increase.

Cash costs came in at US$16.15 per lb. U3O8. “That’s an excellent number for us,” Hatten said, pointing out that cash costs were US$18.86 per lb. in the first quarter, US$20 per lb. in 2014 and US$22 per lb. in 2013.

Lost Creek ranks “amongst the lowest-cost uranium producers anywhere in the world,” Sadowski adds.

Contract and spot sales from Lost Creek came in at 204,000 lb. at an average US$31.21 per lb. (The company sold 70,000 lb. U3O8 on the spot market in June.)

To accelerate a September contractual delivery, Ur-Energy also bought 200,000 lb. U3O8 from a trader at the then-spot price of US$39.39 per lb. It sold these pounds under a US$59.94 per lb. contract price, generating US$4 million in net cash proceeds.

California Mother Lode District – Mine for Sale

The North Fork Mine property consists of 35 un-patented mining claims encompassing approximately 700 acres of land. The property has new grid power consisting of $350,000 high capacity PG&E source, headframe and hoist, an existing decline (approx. 1,000 feet) and crosscut (800 feet long) with three developed levels; all three levels intersected significant gold grades commonly exceeding 0.5 opt Au along multiple veins. The mine is located within the northern portion of the infamous Mother Lode Belt; targets in this area can be significant given that the nearby Sixteen to One Mine produced over one million ounces.

Sale Price: $250,000 Contact: Tim Callaway, tac@shastagoldcorp.com, 530-559-1952

Quarterly sales totalled 404,000 lb. U3O8 at an average US$45.08 per lb., while average cost per lb. sold was US$34.14. This produced a gross profit of US$10.94 per lb.

The company explains that gross profit is lower than in the previous two quarters due to the lower second-quarter average sales prices, noting its first sale on the spot market and one lowpriced sales contract contributed to this.

However, quarterly revenue was US$18.2 million, compared to the first quarter’s US$7.4 million, and US$9.2 million during the same period last year. The higher revenue came from improved operations.

Klenda commended Ur-Energy management for keeping the Lost Creek mine running despite a depressed uranium market, and vocal criticism.

Such critics, he said, argued “we were burning up a very valuable and very finite resource, in a very challenging environment ... if we were prudent we shouldn’t be producing, instead we should be a pounds-in-the-ground company … waiting for those higher prices.”

Klenda added that detractors never mentioned Ur-Energy realized margins of US$30 per lb. when spot prices hovered around US$35 per lb., or the fact that it is growing its resources.

“We are selling into term contracts at average prices of US$50 per lb. for 2015, while our cash cost per pound, including ad valorem and severance taxes, was below US$20 per lb., and is declining,” Rich Boberg, the company’s senior director of investor and public relations, told The Northern Miner.

On the resource front, Ur-Energy has updated an estimate for MU1, adding 2.3 million lb. to the measured category. But after tak-

ing into account the U3O8 generated through March 31, 2015, the actual increase was 1.3 million lb. for a revised total of 3.8 million lb., in a 55% boost over the December 2013 preliminary economic assessment (PEA). It lowered the uranium grade times thickness cut-off from 0.30 to 0.20.

Meanwhile, Ur-Energy says the first part of its 150-hole exploration program — which focused on areas near MU1 — outlined 121,000 lb. U 3O8 in measured and indicated, plus 296,000 lb. in inferred.

This resource was included in the June 2015 National Instrument 43101 technical report for the Lost Creek property.

The property hosts 6.2 million equivalent lb. uranium oxide (eU 3O 8) from 6.3 million measured tons at 0.049% eU3O8 and 3.9 million lb. eU3O8 from 4.1 million indicated tons at 0.047%, plus 5 million lb. eU3O8 at 5.2 million inferred tons at 0.049%.

Ur-Energy intends to update the technical report later this year, after its drill program.

The firm only needs to produce from MU1 to meet its production needs, but Boberg notes development drilling in MU2 is underway, and could start production in 2016.

He adds that the miner will not produce from the five adjacent unpermitted and undeveloped projects on the Lost Creek property any time soon, but will permit the Shirley basin project in the Shirley basin mining district of Wyoming.

A January 2015 PEA examined developing a commercial satellite uranium ISR operation at Shirley, combined with the Lost Creek operations.

The project has 8.8 million lb.

U3O8 in measured and indicated grading 0.23% eU 3O8. The high grade makes this an “extremely attractive” asset.

The study estimates construction to start in January 2017, with production commencing in October 2017. The project’s initial cost is US$30.6 million, with total uranium production anticipated at 6.3 million lb., and operating costs of US$14.54 per lb. Total cost, including severance taxes and operational and capital spending, should average US$31.26 per lb.

The firm expects to submit its application to convert the proj-

During the third quarter, UrEnergy forecasts producing 210,000 lb. U3O8 and keeping its full-year output guidance at 750,000 to 850,000 lb., along with contracted sales at 630,000 lb.

Ur-Energy has 150,000 lb. left in sale contracts this year, Raymond James’ Sadowski notes. (The average 2015 contract price is US$49.50 per lb.)

Klenda points out that the company has 11 long-term contracts in place that extend to 2021, noting it signed all but one after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear incident in Japan, proving “acceptable pricing and margins” can be “achieved in the post-

Fukushima environment.”

Lost Creek is producing 70,000 lb. a month, Boberg notes. Its nameplate capacity is 1 million lb. per year from Lost Creek sources and 2 million lb. per year from all sources, including future deliveries from the fully developed Shirley basin project.

“The company is one of our top uranium picks, with its industryleading cash costs and high fixedprice contracts, coupled with significant production scalability in an improving uranium macro environment,” Sadowski says. He has a $1.80 target price.

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Rob Chang has a $2.60 target, with a “buy” recommendation on UrEnergy.

The firm had US$3.6 million in cash in July, and last traded at 91¢.

BMO sees ‘Better times ahead’ for Primero

he added.

And drilling is paying off at Black Fox. Primero reported in July that exploration had expanded the Deep Central Zone (DCZ), which shows mineralization is continuous between current production levels, and at least 800 metres below surface.

The company is delineating mineralization between the current 560-metre production levels — which has an average grade of 6 grams gold per tonne — and the DCZ, where average grades are 8.5 grams gold.

Primero is expanding mineralization at its Grey Fox satellite target, which sits 4 km southeast of the Black Fox facility. Exploration further expanded the Contact zone and Grey Fox South areas of the Grey Fox property.

Results confirm that the previously identified Whiskey Jack zone is the continuation of the Contact zone to the north, which increases Contact’s length by 200 metres.

Recent highlights from drilling at Grey Fox include 6 metres grading 18.8 grams gold from 39 metres deep in hole 14-975; and 39 metres of 3.3 grams gold from 172 metres deep in hole 15-1011.

Conway said the company is “quite certain that Grey Fox will play a role in operations by 2017,” and noted that 66,000 metres of drilling are scheduled at the target this year. Primero is conducting a scoping study on integrating the deposits into its mine plan, and speculates that Grey Fox could chip in up to 40,000 “lowcost” ounces annually to operations, assuming no mill expansion moving forward.

Meanwhile, Primero reported that a 3,000-tonne-per-day mill expansion at San Dimas is ahead of schedule and US$8.7 million below an estimated budget of US$26.4 million. Quarterly gold production was up 11% year-on-year, while total cash costs declined from US$672 per oz. to US$654 per oz.

The increase in gold and silver production mainly came from 17% higher throughput compared to the same period in 2014. The company saw a jump in all-in sustaining costs at San Dimas from US$626 per oz. to US$822 per oz. Primero also experienced a delay in silver deliveries due to permit complications.

On Aug. 6 the company reported the relevant import-export registries had been reinstated by the Mexican government, and that it had begun selling 2 million oz. in inventoried silver. Around 1.2 million oz. silver are due to Silver Wheaton (TSX: SLW; NYSE: SLW) under a streaming agreement at San Dimas.

TNM August 17 2015 Issue.indd 3

“San Dimas has been our driver for the past five years, and we’re pleased that we’ve been able to keep costs essentially flat over that period of time in an industry where costs have gone up dramatically,” Conway commented. “We expect our reserves and resources to grow in

Mexico because the exploration expenditures that we made in the first half have already replaced what we expect ... during the entire year. We see San Dimas as poised for more ounces at a lower cost in the future.”

BMO Capital Markets analyst Brian Quast noted that Primero’s

earnings “handily beat consensus estimates,” while keeping an “outperform” rating and a $6-per-share price target. Gold production at Black Fox beat BMO’s estimates of 15,300 oz., with Quast calling the performance a “solid quarter” indicating “better times ahead.”

Meanwhile, Scotiabank analysts noted in the Aug. 4 Daily Mining Scoop that Primero is one of only seven gold producers it covers that could bring “full costs below the US$1,000 per oz. level.” Scotiabank quantifies the “full cost” metric as all-in sustaining costs plus interest on debt, development capital and dividend payments.

The other six producers that clear the hurdle are Goldcorp (TSX: G, NYSE: GG), Randgold Resources (NASDAQ: GOLD; LSE: RRS), Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM), Tahoe Resources (TSX: THO; NYSEMKT: TAHO), Detour Gold (TSX: DGC; US-OTC: DRGDF) and Claude Resources (TSX: CRJ; US-OTC: CLGRF).

Primero shares have traded within a 52-week range of $3.17 to $8.70. They jumped 11% after the Mexican permit resolution, en route to a $3.54-per-share close at press time. Primero had US$40 million in cash and US$75 million in an undrawn line of credit after the second quarter. There are 162 million shares outstanding for a $574-million market capitalization.

Do FIFO operations Potash bid tops Q2 M&A activity: KPMG report aggravate mental health problems?

The following is an edited excerpt from KPMG’s Mining M&A Quarterly Newsletter. For more information and to see the full report visit www.kpmg.com

BY JOHN CUMMING

Worldwide, Western Australia could be considered ground zero for fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) mining operations, with thousands of mining personnel daily making the air commute from home in pleasant cities like Perth to work for long stretches at mine sites in the state’s remote, inhospitable interior, with typical rotations as such as eight days on-site working 12-hour days, followed by six days off, with paid travel time.

In fact, an astounding 60,000 people in WA work FIFO jobs out of a population of only 2.6 million people. If each FIFO worker has three direct family members, that would mean almost a tenth of the WA population is directly affected by the FIFO lifestyle.

Although Australian mining jobs are well-paying, the FIFO schedule — which can reach as high as four weeks on (i.e., twenty-eight 12-hour work days in a row), one week off — puts considerable strain on a worker’s personal life and physical health.

But compared to building company towns for miners and their families, the cost savings of FIFO operations can be enormous — as much as A$100,000 per year, per employee.

The apparent cost on WA mine workers took on a much darker tone, with media reports in mid-2014 that up to nine suicides in the previous 12 months in the state might have been linked to the victims’ having been working at FIFO jobs.

This triggered a study by the Education and Health Standing Committee of the Parliament of Western Australia. Its final report, “The Impact of FIFO work of mental health,” was made public in late June.

While the committee could not definitively link FIFO jobs to the suicides in question, it did point to three studies that indicate the rate of mental health problems for FIFO workers in Australia could be as high as 30%, versus a rate of 20% for all men in Australia aged 25 to 44 — which is the typical profile of FIFO workers at WA mines. (The results of such studies are further complicated by the fact this demographic already shows the highest rates of mental health problems.)

As the report states: “FIFO takes such an individual regularly away from home, puts him in isolation from his family and other social supports, subject him to fatigue and then controls his life within the camp environment. Understandably, this can have a significant impact on his emotional health and well-being.”

The biggest stumbling block for the committee in its effort was a lack of detailed data, and so among the committee’s most important recommendations was that the coroner should establish a single database of suicides for specific occupations, including FIFO workers.

The committee also lamented that “confusion was evident around which regulator had jurisdiction for overseeing the occupational health and safety matters impacting on the FIFO worker.”

While some witnesses argued that potential employees should be better screened for their resilience to FIFO work, the committee bluntly stated the industry should recognize and address the potential vulnerabilities of all workers to mental health problems arising from FIFO work, and that industry players should develop a code of practice regarding mental health issues at FIFO operations. And this code should incorporate better reporting of suicides, attempted suicides and other deaths on-site.

Committee chairman Dr. G.G. Jacobs pointedly commented he was “disappointed to find that recognition of the importance of connection to family and community to workers’ mental health is not widespread,” and “closer interaction between accommodation camps and communities is thought to be good for both.”

The biggest miners in the state — such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, as well as oil giant Chevron — welcomed the report and said they would study it, and extolled their own extensive programs related to worker well-being and good mental health.

With FIFO operations only growing in use worldwide as mines are built in increasingly remote locations, mining companies, mine workers and regulatory bodies would do well to keep an eye on developments in industry-leading Western Australia, with respect to the critical issue of workers’ mental health.

A blockbuster potash bid announced between Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan and K+S Group in June could propel global deal value for the second quarter of 2015 to US$16.5 billion. K+S rejected the friendly offer two days after quarter-end.

Excluding this deal, the quarter still generated US$7.8 billion in deal value, up from US$3.7 billion recorded in the first quarter. Deal volume also rose by 29%.

While the potash deal was the largest announced deal in the quarter, iron ore and nickel each posted a major transaction, and gold was involved in a spate of smaller deals.

Potash

On June 25, PotashCorp made a friendly US$8.6-billion offer to the board of Germany’s K+S Group, Europe’s major potash supplier and the world’s largest salt product supplier. The bid represented a 40% premium to shareholders. K+S is poised to bring a new potash mine into production next year — the Legacy project in Saskatchewan, not far from PotashCorp’s mines, with a similar capacity of 3 million tonnes per year. PotashCorp is also interested in the dominant market position for nutrients that K+S holds in Europe.

On July 2 the K+S board rejected PotashCorp’s offer — saying the price undervalued the company — and expressed concerns about the interests of its 14,000 employees.

K+S believes that PotashCorp does not need additional production from Legacy in current market conditions, and that it intends to curtail all but its lowest-cost operations.

PotashCorp denies these comments, saying the transaction would simply combine two best-in-class companies with minimal overlap to create a global producer. The Canadian company remains interested in pursuing its bid, and not ruling out the possibility of going directly to K+S shareholders.

At a time when China’s steel industry is slumping, China-based Zhongrun Resources is making a major investment in Mongolia’s iron ore sector. Intending to raise US$4.6 billion through a share issue, Zhongrun will spend US$1.9 billion of that equity to acquire three Mongolian firms: Iron Ore International (Mongolia), Mongolia New La Le Gao Te Iron Mining and Shiny Glow. The second-largest deal of the second-quarter comes at a time when the coal and iron ore industries are also suffering through slow demand and lower prices.

The third-largest transaction of the quarter is an all-Australian affair. Independence Group is spending US$1.4 billion to acquire all the issued capital of Sirius Resources for shares and cash. The prize for Independence Group is the Sirius NovaBollinger nickel-copper project in southeast Australia that is fully financed, under construction and expected to begin production in 2017. With Independence Group’s diverse portfolio of multi-metal assets and a US$2-billion combined market cap, the combined entity could become an ASX 100 company.

EDITORIAL: TOP STORY OF WEEK 32

GROUP PUBLISHER/ PUBLISHER:

EDITOR, SPECIAL PROJECTS:

For deals under US$1 billion, gold holds down the lion’s share of transactions. The second quarter’s largest gold transaction was all-American, as Newmont Mining made a move to acquire the Cripple Creek & Victor (CC&V) gold mine from AngloGold Ashanti for US$820 million in cash.

Newmont will raise most of the cash

through a share issue. CC&V is a 20-year old mine in Colorado that is being expanded with a new leach pad, recovery plant and mill. With it Newmont can add 350,000 oz. gold per year at a low all-in sustaining cost. Canada factored into all remaining gold transactions for the quarter. In an all-Canadian deal, Alamos Gold and AuRico Gold engaged in a merger of equals to create a leading intermediate gold producer. The combined company could yield 375,000 to 425,000 oz. gold from producing mines in Ontario and in Mexico, with growth potential reaching 700,000 oz. The development portfolio includes a number of projects in North America and Turkey.

Barrick Gold has sold an asset in Australia to Australia-based Evolution Mining for US$550 million. The Cowal gold mine in New South Wales is a large-scale, long-life open-pit mine that produces 230,000 to 260,000 oz. per year. The all-in sustaining cost of production is US$850 to US$900 per oz. The acquisition gives Evolution a total of seven Australian operations. Evolution will fund the acquisition through an entitlement offer and credit facilities.

Barrick Gold has also agreed to sell a 50% interest in the Porgera gold mine in Papua New Guinea to launch a strategic partnership with Hong Kong-based Zijin Mining Group.

Zijin will pay US$298 million for this investment. Barrick and Zijin have agreed to collaborate on future projects and investments, leveraging the strengths of each company.

Barrick contributes strong operating experience and assets, while Zijin brings engineering and construction management capabilities and access to the Chinese market.

Coal

Patriot Coal, currently embroiled in its second Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, has agreed to sell its operating assets to Blackhawk Mining, a privately held company. The price of the sale is US$643 million. The companies are working to establish a formal purchase agreement, which will be subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.

In another all-American coal deal, Westmoreland Resource Partners has agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interest in the Kemmerer mine, located in Wyoming, from Westmoreland Coal. The transaction is part of a “drop-down” strategy by Westmoreland, the oldest independent coal company in the U.S. Upon closing, Westmoreland Coal will receive US$135 million cash and US$95 million in Westmoreland Resource Partner shares.

Copper and lithium

Copper was saved from inactivity this quarter by a single transaction. In an arrangement similar to Zijin Mining’s deal with Barrick Gold, Zijin will co-develop the Kamoa copper project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with Ivanhoe Mines.

To begin the strategic partnership, Zijin will acquire 49.5% of Ivanhoe’s interest in the project (95%) for US$412 million in cash. The DRC government is reviewing its options relating to its interest (5%) in the project, as well as the interest (49.5%) to be sold to Zijin Mining. With its high copper grade and large tonnage, Kamoa could become one of the world’s largest copper mining operations.

Finally, two Canadian lithium companies have agreed to combine their operations and assets. Western Lithium will “take over” Lithium Americas in an all-stock deal valued at US$64 million. Both see an advantage in combining their expertise, technology and two of the leading lithium development projects in the world, located in North America and South America.

SUPPLIERS

DRA to design ship-mounted plant, partners with BGC in Australia Engineering and project delivery firm DRA has signed a contract to carry out the detail design of a shipmounted processing plant for Nautilus Minerals’ (TSX: NUS; USOTC: NUSMF) Solwara 1 seafloor copper-gold project, off the coast of Papua New Guinea.

Under the contract DRA will design a ship-mounted processing plant with a 400-tonne-perhour capacity. The plant will include screening, dewatering (via centrifuges) and filter presses. The processed material will be temporarily stored in the ship’s hold, before it’s offloaded to bulk carriers.

DRA regional director Donald Holley said the firm is pleased to leverage its experience in designing ship-mounted process plants “gained from our offshore diamond recovery projects off the coast of southwest Africa.”

The detail design phase is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2015.

The ship-mounted modules will be made in 2016, with production at Solwara 1 expected in 2018.

Meanwhile DRA’s Australian branch DRA Pacific has formed a joint venture with BGC Contracting to serve the Australian mining industry.

The new entity, called DRA BGC

JV, will offer engineering, procurement, construction, operations and maintenance services to miners Down Under.

“The JV is pursuing a number of promising opportunities, which we hope to announce soon,” DRA Pacific CEO Clive Hart said.

“The collective scale, capacity and skills of the two groups would enable the JV to deliver an expanded range of services to a wider cross-section of industries,” BGC Contracting CEO Greg Heylen said.

Privately held BGC is a major contractor in the region, with experience in mining and civil construction projects. It specializes in load and haul, drill and blast, crushing and screening, bulk earthworks, concrete works and steelwork, plant construction and plant-maintenance services.

The company has three offices in Australia, employs more than 3,000 staff and contractors, and makes over A$1 billion in revenue per year.

Also privately owned, DRA is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. The firm was founded in 1984 and has offices and operations in Africa, Australia, Canada, China, Europe, India, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the U.S.

Gowlings and WLG to join forces Canadian legal firm Gowlings and U.K-based Wragge L a w rence Graham & Co. (WLG) plan to mergee. The combined company is set to launch in January 2016, and will be branded Gowling WLG. The expanded firm will house 1,400 legal professionals in 18 cities across Canada, the U.K., Europe, Asia and the Middle

East, which will make Gowling WLG one of the top-100 grossing law firms in the world, the company said. The deal also represents the first international legal merger that is co-led by a Canadian firm.

Gowlings said that by combining with WLG, it can better serve its customers, many of which are in the resource sector.

Thiess signs contract in Chile Queensland, Australia-based contract miner Thiess has landed a A$137-million contract for work at Antofagasta’s Encuentro Oxides open-pit copper project under development in Chile.

Significantly, the deal represents the large contractor’s first foray into the Americas.

The four-year services agreement was announced in July, and Thiess began pre-stripping right away. Once built, the Encuentro Oxides mine could produce 50,000 tonnes of copper cathode per year, starting in the second half of 2016.

Thiess is a division of CIMIC Group (ASX: CIM), which s t r e a m li n e d fou r d i vi s i on s (Thiess, Leighton Contractors, HWE and Leighton Asia Mining)

into one entity in 2014, creating the world’s largest mine contractor, according to the company. In 2014 Thiess generated A$6.5 billion in revenue and A$1 billion in profit before tax. Outside of Chile, the company operates at 24 mine sites in Australia, Indonesia, India, Mongolia, New Zealand and Botswana. CIMIC has an A$8billion market capitalization.

“This project, the first venture for Thiess’ New Markets division, marks a significant milestone for Thiess as a global mining business,” CIMIC Group CEO Marcelino Fernandez Verdes said. “Through Thiess’ expert contract mining capabilities, we plan to further diversify into new, reliable markets, including those in the Americas.”

Wolseley Industrial shakes things up Wolseley Industrial Canada (WIC) has had a busy summer, announcing in July that it has acquired QIP Equipment and sold a business division to Emco.

QIP was founded in Montreal and has operated since 1976 as a wholesale distributor of manual and actuated valves, fittings, control and instrumentation products.

The firm’s 29 employees and operations in New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec will become part of WIC. “QIP strengthens our business in three key provinces, adding products, capabilities and an experienced team,” vice-president of WIC Bryn Murray said.

Three days after picking up QIP the company announced that it has sold its Engineered Pipe Group (EPG) to London, Ont.-based industrial supply wholesaler Emco. EPG includes the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, fittings and

flanges, and fabricated vessel products.

“Given the long-term goals of each company and Emco’s desire to grow its HDPE business, the transaction is beneficial for both parties and for EPG employees,” WIC’s Murray said.

“We welcome the new teammates to our family and look forward to building on their proud history and co-inventing an exciting future in growing our HDPE business in Canada together,” vice-president and general manager of Emco’s industrial division Kevin O’Reilly said.

WIC is a Burlington, Ont.based subsidiary of plumbing and heating supply giant Wolseley (LSE: WOS), which employs 40,000 people at 2,900 branches, in 10 countries. In 2014 the Swissheadquartered parent company generated £12.8 billion in revenue, £778 million of which came from its Canadian operations.

Safety, productivity to drive vehicle investments at North American mines: Timetric A survey of 100 mine managers shows firms in North America are planning to invest in vehicle-related technologies.

The survey, conducted by U.K.based data, analysis and advisory services provider Timetric, asked participants about their spending plans for mine-site technologies over the next two years. Respondents were asked to outline their investment priorities across 12 technology groups, including mine management and vehicle-related technologies.

Many respondents said they

TNM August 17 2015 Issue.indd 5

planned to invest in several vehicle-related technologies, such as collision avoidance technology (57%), fatigue management systems (56%), real-time video training (50%), remote control/machine automation (49%) and fleet management (47%). The managers expect these investments will improve productivity and workplace safety.

“Even though mines are cutting costs and focusing on productivity, safety is still paramount,” senior mining analyst with Timetric Nez Guevara said.

MARKET NEWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE West Texas Intermediate crude finished at US$43.84 per barrel — marking the sixth weekly drop in oil prices — but a bounce in Canadian exports in June injected a sliver of optimism into the prevailing doom and gloom about the economy. Statistics Canada reported that the trade shortfall fell to $476 million, well below the $3.4-billion deficit recorded in May. June exports rose by 6.3% — the largest month-on-month increase since a 6.9% gain in December 2006.

On the metals front, gold stayed more or less flat, finishing at US$1,092 per oz., while prices of copper, nickel and zinc fell to 1.1%, 2.2% and 3.3%. The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index slid 1.2% to 14,302.70 and the S&P/TSX Capped Diversified Metals & Mining Index dropped 4.3% to 510.06. The S&P/TSX Global Mining Index lost 1.1%, falling to 52.61, while the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index edged 1.7% lower to 120.72.

Strong second-quarter results sent Semafo’s shares up 17¢ to $3.02. The West Africa-focused company’s net income jumped to US$22.1 million in the three months ended June 30, up from US$14.9 million in the same quarter last year. Secondquarter production at the company’s Mana mine in Burkina Faso totalled 66,000 oz.

Total cash costs came in at US$471 per oz.

sold, down 22% year-on-year, while all-in sustaining costs of US$604 per oz. marked a 16% year-on-year decrease. The lower costs came from fuel prices and exchange rates. The Montreal-based producer has lowered its 2015 total cash cost guidance from US$575 and US$605 per oz. to US$515 and US$540 per oz. Cash flow from operations reached US$40.7 million, or 14¢ per share. Semafo is on track to complete a feasibility study in the second quarter of 2016 on its Natougou deposit, also in Burkina Faso. The company expects to spend US$18 million on exploration this year.

B.C. sent the company’s shares up 64¢, or 12%, to $5.93 apiece. BioteQ Environmental Technologies — an independent, Vancouver-based company — built and operated the plant using their patent-pending SelenIX treatment technology. In doing so, Seabridge satisfied a condition of the B.C. environmental assessment certificate issued on July 30, 2014, which required Seabridge to complete the pilot plant test

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index dropped 1.2%, or 166 points, to 576.6. Base metals declined across the board after a U.S. employment report showed recovery in the U.S. labour market that could lead to higher interest rates from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Three-month copper contracts at the London Metal Exchange fell 1.4% to US$5,145 per tonne, and similar contracts for nickel were down 1% to US$10,825 per tonne. Zinc dropped to 3.7% to US$1,860 per tonne, and lead fell 0.7% to US$1,694 per tonne.

Gold stayed relatively flat at US$1,093.5 per oz., while silver finished at US$14.8 per oz., up 1.4%.

Brent crude oil spot price also fell 10.8% from US$53.29 to US$47.54.

Gold Reserve shares climbed 33% to $4.23 after the company announced progress with the Venezuelan government regarding a $757-million arbitration award to the company.

The dispute started in 2009, when the Venezuelan government nationalized the company’s Las Brisas gold-copper concession — one of Latin America’s largest gold deposits — as part of a policy to increase state control of economic sectors.

The company is seeking immediate financing until it can amend its permits.

Doubleview Capital dropped 24% to 10¢ at close, as the company has yet to resume exploration at its copper-gold Hat project in Sheslay Valley, B.C., after a dispute with the Tahltan First Nation.

The company was completing a drill program on the copper-gold porphyry target when elders from the Tahltan Nation blockaded access to the property in July.

The Tahltan Central Council said the nation was not properly consulted before Doubleview gained a five-year exploration permit by the Ministry of Energy and Mines in April.

U.S. M ARKETS Major U.S. indexes tumbled in August after a decent jobs report suggested the Federal Reserve would hike interest rates as soon as next month. The S&P 500 Index fell 1.3% to 2,077.57, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.8% to 17,373.38. The Nasdaq retreated 1.7% to 5,043.54. U.S. employers added 215,000 jobs in July — slightly below the expected 225,000 increase. The unemployment rate stayed at 5.3%. The spot gold price was flat at US$1,093.80 per oz.

Oil producer U.S. Energy climbed 31% to 55¢ per share before reporting bleak secondquarter results on Aug. 10. Net loss after taxes was US$6.3 million, or negative US22¢ per share. This included a US$3.2-million property impairment related to the company’s oil and gas assets, after lower oil prices. In the same period last year, U.S. Energy reported net earnings after taxes of US$56,000. Taking out one-time items, the adjusted net loss was US$2.7 million, or negative US10¢ per share, down from a US$441,000 adjusted profit. Production fell 30% year-over-year to 81,618 barrels of oil equivalent, or an average 897 barrels per day.

THE NORTHERN MINER AUGUST 17-23, 2015 11

First Mining FIRST MINING, From Page 1

private exploration company that had tried to do an initial public offering two years ago, but couldn’t get enough interest.

Keith, who runs First Majestic Silver, was looking to option one of Chris’ properties. In the end that didn’t work out, but Keith liked what he saw with Chris, so they discussed taking Chris’ company public and creating this mineral bank. So last summer, exactly a year ago, they did a seed financing into Sundance at 25¢ and raised $2.7 million, which was put into escrow until the company went public.

I joined the company in January and started working on a financing for $5 million at 40¢ and the reverse takeover with shell company Albion Petroleum, which were both completed in April.

TNM: You’re a new company in a terrible market — how has the market reception been?

PD: It’s been phenomenal — it’s amazing, the interesting thing that people keep saying to me is ‘How come nobody else is doing this?’ and I think we’re starting to see that happen. But I think people who work in the capital markets in the mining industry agree that we’re either at or near the bottom of this market. People agree that valuations are a multi-year lows — probably decade lows now, and there are great opportunities. The reception’s been good and I keep telling people that Keith’s success in the past has been predicated on his ability to identify when we’re at the bottom or near the bottom of these markets, and that’s the opportunity to acquire assets at really good prices.

TNM: Can you distinguish the difference between your concept of a mineral bank from other entities that that are also acquiring distressed assets right now, such as streaming/royalty companies and private equity firms?

PD: Streaming and royalty companies just buy royalty on asset.

We simply acquire the company outright by using our shares.

There are some similarities to the Ross Beaty model of the 1990s or the Silver Standard Resources (TSX: SSO; NASDAQ: SSRI) model — they went out and bought assets outright. In our case, we’re using our shares and we’re taking over these companies, the management move on, and we put the assets in our mineral bank. The long-term strategy for when things turn around — which they will, but I think we’ve got a couple of years at least before that happens — is that we would enter agreements with other parties and they would take the assets forward. We would hold onto a residual interest, so a royalty or a stream, a minority interest in a joint venture or perhaps we might just spin out these assets into new companies. But that’s well down the road — that’s the next three to five years.

TNM: How much competition are you seeing out there for assets?

PD: It’s heating up. It’s interesting, in January, people were saying “Why are you doing this right now? You maybe should wait until the markets are a bit better.” But we wanted to get first-mover advantage. We raised the $5 million but it wasn’t easy, and when we went out marketing, we heard there were a lot of people who were talking about doing this — but they wanted the markets to be better. But it’s the chicken and the egg — if the markets were better, then the opportunities to acquire

TNM August 17 2015 Issue.indd 11

Patrick Donnelly, First Mining Finance’s president. cheap assets wouldn’t be there. So we went for it in a really tough market. When we were marketing oil was at US$45 and everyone was having an awful time, but we got it done.

We are seeing groups coming out: obviously Oban Mining (TSX: OBM), I think they’ll be competition. I know Thomas Kaplan of Electrum Group just raised $200 million to do a similar sort of thing, but they’re going to be targeting more advanced assets. Then obviously there are the private equity groups out there, but again, they’re looking for more advanced stuff: feasibility, preproduction or even production-level.

TNM: What kinds of assets are you looking for?

PD: We prefer assets at the resource stage or the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) level. The reason we like that stage is simply because there are a lot of juniors out there with good assets, and to get from a PEA level to a feasibility level, there’s a big leap in terms of time and cost. To convert your resource from inferred to measured and indicated requires quite a bit of drilling, but the market doesn’t want to invest in something where it will take a company a couple of years to get to the feasibility level. If you ask investors what their time horizon is for investment, it’s not measured in years anymore, or even quarters — it’s months. And yet a junior before they get a feasibility out, they need two or three years, and they need to raise $20 million to $40 million to do all that drilling, and the market’s not willing to give it.

So the sweet spot for us is those companies who are kind of stuck where it’s a leap to get to a feasibility and they’re not getting any money from the markets, and they’re in trouble.

TNM: You have a little more patience than the other people who are looking for assets right now.

PD: It’s patience, and I think the companies at that stage are even more deeply discounted than assets that are more advanced. Yes, we’re more patient, but we do put in quite a bit of due diligence looking at these assets.

Another difference between us and some of these groups like the Ross Beatys and the Silver Standards is that they were looking at assets that were out of the money in terms of being economic. What we’ve seen is that there are actually assets out there that you can buy that would make money at US$1,100 or US$1,200 gold, so that’s what we’re targeting as well.

Randgold beefs up exploration in Côte d’Ivoire Randgold Resources (NASDAQ: GOLD) is stepping up its exploration in Côte d’Ivoire.

President and CEO Mark Bristow recently praised the country’s new mining code and announced that Randgold’s geologists are taking a fresh look at the Nielle permit, which hosts the company’s Tongon gold mine in northern Côte d’Ivoire, 55 km south of the border with Mali.

(Tongon produced 227,103 oz. gold in 2014, and the company expects it will produce 260,000 oz. gold this year.)

The most exciting targets are on the company’s Boundiali permit, including Fonondara and a series of others that cover a 60 km strike length at the western margin of the Boundiali belt, which Randgold’s geologists believe is an extension of the Syama belt in Mali.

Randgold has started a firstphase drill program at Fonondara, where six trenches over a 1.5 km strike length have exposed a system that averages 16 metres grading 2.96 grams gold per tonne.

Drill results beneath the trenches have returned 16.5 metres averaging 3.38 grams gold including 7.4 metres of 5.88 grams gold from the main zone, and 8.8 metres of 28.62 grams gold, including 4.1 metres of 61.05 grams gold in the footwall.

The company has also identified a bulk-mining target on its Mankono permit, where trenches are grading up to 1.8 grams gold over 100 metres. South of the Nielle permit on the Fapoha permit, three contiguous targets have returned sampling grades of up to 8 grams gold over a 13 km strike length.

Randgold has also beefed up its

In the three months ended March 31, Randgold increased its profit from mining by 5% to US$143.9 million, despite slightly reduced gold production of 279,531 oz., mainly due to planned lower grades. Profit for the quarter of US$51.3 million, down from US$54.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, was impacted by higher exploration expenses and corporate costs, as well as adverse exchange rate movements during the period. Despite the production decrease in the first quarter, total cash costs per ounce came in at US$708 per oz.

Net cash generated by operations increased from US$69.3 million to US$101.7 million, and the

cash flow, combined with lower capital expenses after the first phase of construction at Kibali in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, boosted cash-on-hand by 71% to US$141.2 million.

At press time Randgold shares traded at US$58.31 apiece.

Andrew Breichmanas of BMO Capital Markets in London has a US$100-per-share target price on the stock.

“Randgold retains an enviable position among gold producers, with high-quality assets capable of generating cash at significantly lower prices, capital expenditures moderating following a growth phase and a balance sheet free of debt,” he commented in a research note to clients.

“The company appears capable of capitalizing on the challenges faced by many of its peers, but the impressive exploration results suggest that management can exercise patience, while waiting for opportunities that surpass the high bar set by organic growth prospects to emerge.”

Barrick ‘all but assured’ to meet debt target

BARRICK GOLD

Barrick Gold’s Zaldivar copper mine in Chile. Antofagasta is set to buy half of the operation for US$1 billion.

BARRICK, From Page 1

its Zaldivar copper mine to Chile’s Antofagasta (LSE: ANTO) for US$1 billion.

The new Zaldivar partnership follows the US$298-million cash sale of a half interest in Barrick’s Porgera gold mine in Papua New Guinea to China’s Zijin Mining.

Barrick announced a new streaming agreement with Royal Gold (TSX: RGL; NASDAQ: RGLD) at its Pueblo Viejo gold mine in the Dominican Republic, where it holds a 60% stake alongside joint-venture partner Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG).

Barrick will receive an upfront cash payment of US$610 million, plus ongoing payments for gold and silver. In return, Royal Gold agrees to buy 7.5% of Barrick’s share of production at Pueblo Viejo up to 990,000 oz. gold, and 3.8% of gold produced thereafter.

The innovative payment structure is tied to spot prices rather than being fixed in advance.

Barrick will receive ongoing cash payments from Royal Gold equivalent to 30% of the prevailing spot prices for the first 550,000 oz. gold and 23.1 million oz. silver delivered. The remaining payments will then double to 60% of prevailing spot prices for each subsequent ounce delivered.

“Our streaming agreement crystallizes immediate value from Pueblo Viejo in a volatile metal price environment,” Dush-

TNM August 17 2015 Issue.indd 13

nisky commented. “It will strengthen our balance sheet in the short term while preserving material exposure to higher gold and silver prices in the future.”

Barrick started shopping another six of its assets: the Bald Mountain heap-leach mine in northeastern Nevada; a 50% stake in the Round Mountain mine operated by partner Kinross Gold (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC); the Golden Sunlight mine in southwestern Montana; the Ruby Hill operation near Eureka, Nev.; and the advanced-stage Spring Valley and Hilltop projects in Nevada.

According to Canaccord analysts Tony Lesiak and Peter Bures, the combined asset package could net Barrick between US$550 million and US$650 million, with Kinross being a “strong candidate” to buy some of the Nevada projects, since it has US$1 billion in cash on its balance sheet and a need to “dilute its exposure to Russia.”

Canaccord also wagers Barrick is “pulling the plug” on its Pascua Lama development in Chile, where it has battled regulators over permit issues. The company confirmed it was selling equipment at Pascua, which Lesiak and Bures assume “will be netted against closure costs and potential environmental fines.”

Meanwhile, Barrick has identified what it calls “value realiza-

tion” initiatives at Pueblo Viejo and its powerhouse Lagunas Norte open-pit mine in northcentral Peru.

“Lagunas Norte has been an outstanding mine for us since it began operations in 2005, and our plan contemplates adding a grinding flotation autoclave processing circuit to treat refractory material,” co-president James Gowans elaborated. “At Pueblo Viejo, we’ve identified some key opportunities that have the potential to add substantial value. These include expanding the tailing storage capacity in order to extend the mine life, and modifications to our fuel and power supply.”

also says the tailings expansion at Pueblo Viejo could incorporate 6 million oz. more gold into its mine plan.

“Barrick’s net debt reduction pledge is all but assured in our view, after the recent [Pueblo Viejo] streaming deal and planned further non-core divestitures in the U.S.,” Lesiak and Bures wrote in an Aug. 7 research note. “The key area of opportunity remains [operating expenditures, mining methods and mine planning]. We also note that reserve life remains at risk given the sustaining capital and exploration deferrals.”

Dushnisky explained that the steps Barrick has taken to streamline operations has re-

‘We want a portfolio focused on highquality gold assets and growth projects in our core regions in the Americas.’

— Kelvin Dushnisky, co-president, Barrick Gold The company completed a preliminary economic assessment at Lagunas Norte that extends the mine life through at least 2027 by processing refractory material below the current oxide pit. The US$500-million expansion could add up to 2 million oz. gold to Lagunas Norte’s reserves, though full details of the study were not released at press time. Barrick

sulted in “all its mines” being free-cash flow positive at US$1,100 per oz. gold. In light of the recent drop in bullion prices, however, the company is also stress testing its assets at price levels down to US$900 per oz.

“We don’t expect gold to reach [that level], but if it does, we know what we need to do,” Dushnisky continued. “This may involve par-

tial or full suspensions of noncore mines, further headcount reductions and raising cut-off grades or processing higher grade stockpiles at our operations.”

Barrick dropped its full-year production guidance slightly after the asset sales, and expects to crank out between 6.1 million and 6.4 million oz. gold at all-in sustaining costs ranging from US$840 to US$880 per oz.

The company’s five “core mines” in the Americas — Cortez, Lagunas Norte, Veladero, Goldstrike and Pueblo Viejo — could account for 60% of total production this year at all-in sustaining costs ranging from US$700 to US$750 per oz.

“We’ll continue to optimize our portfolio, and this is not only about reducing debt. Ultimately, we want a portfolio focused on highquality gold assets and growth projects in our core regions in the Americas,” Dushnisky said.

Barrick has traded within a 52week window of $8.60 to $21.14, and closed at $9.24 per share at press time. The company has 1.2 billion shares outstanding for a $10.7-billion market capitalization, and had US$2.1 billion of cash, plus US$4 billion available on an undrawn credit facility at the end of June.

Assuming Barrick meets its US$3-billion debt reduction target, it will still have US$9.2 billion in long-term debt.

New Gold inks Rainy River deal with Royal Gold VANCOUVER — Canadian producer New Gold (TSX: NGD; NYSE-MKT: NGD) appears to have filled a funding gap at its Rainy River gold mine under construction 65 km northwest of Fort Frances, Ont., with a US$175-million streaming deal with Denverbased Royal Gold (TSX: RGL; NASDAQ: RGLD).

On July 20 the companies struck a deal whereby Royal Gold will provide New Gold with cash for construction in exchange for a percentage of future gold and silver production.

New Gold has spent US$119 million at Rainy River so far, which represents 14% of the estimated US$877-million development costs.

Royal Gold will make two advance payments under the agreement, consisting of US$100 million at closing and US$75 million once capital spending on Rainy River is 60% complete. In return New Gold’s payments will deliver 6.5% of gold produced at the project until 230,000 oz., and 3.3% thereafter; plus 60% of silver produced up to 3.1 million oz., and 30% thereafter.

25% of the spot price per ounce of gold or silver.

Based on a feasibility study released in early 2014, Rainy River will crank out 325,000 oz. gold and 480,000 oz. silver per year over its first nine years of operation. Total production over the project’s 14-

year mine life is estimated at 3.4 million oz. gold and 6 million oz. silver.

New Gold plans to run a hybrid open-pit, underground operation that would process material at 21,000 tonnes per day. Rainy River’s open-pit reserves total 100

million proven and probable tonnes grading 0.96 gram gold per tonne and 2.49 grams silver per tonne, for 3.1 million contained oz. gold and 8 million contained oz. silver. Meanwhile, underground reserves include 4.2 million tonnes of 4.96 grams gold and

10.31 grams silver.

“This transaction provides our company with an attractive cost of capital,” New Gold executive chairman Randall Oliphant noted in a prepared statement. “In addition, we have structured the stream in a manner that maximizes our exposure to both the continued exploration potential of the Rainy River district and long-term gold and silver prices.”

Royal Gold figures it will receive annual deliveries of 17,000 oz. gold and 230,000 oz. silver over Rainy River’s current mine life.

The company will also gain the upside of measured and indicated resources of 46 million tonnes grading 1.64 grams gold and 4.9 grams silver for 2.4 million contained oz. gold and 7.2 million contained oz. silver.

“Rainy River fits well into our high-quality portfolio and met all our criteria for new investments, with nearly 4 million oz. gold reserves, continued exploration upside and projected cash costs below US$600 per oz.,” Royal Gold president and CEO Tony Jensen added.

New Gold indicated that the total stream payment would bring its liquidity to US$738 million, which includes room on an undrawn credit facility and US$327 million in cash. The company said it would close the US$22-million funding gap through cash flow from operations.

New Gold received its permits for major earthworks construction in May, and expects mill infrastructure delivered by the fourth quarter. The company says it has outlined five prospective areas “within a 5 km radius of mine development area identified for future drill testing.”

New Gold shares have traded in a 52-week range of $2.80 to $7.15, and last closed at $2.91.

The company has 509 million shares outstanding for a $1.4-billion market capitalization.

Meanwhile, Royal Gold is deploying its impressive balance sheet as precious metals markets stumble. The company reported cash and equivalents of US$715 million in March, and recently closed a US$525-million gold offtake agreement with major Teck Resources (TSX: TCK.B; NYSE: TCK) on the Carmen de Andacollo mine in Chile.

Royal Gold has traded within a 52-week range of $61.50 to $95.64, and closed at $66.55 at press time.

The company has 65.2 million shares outstanding for a $4.4-billion market capitalization.

First Mining searches for the ‘sweet spot’ FIRST MINING, From Page 11

TNM: So you’re looking at current commodity prices when you’re evaluating projects?

PD: Yes, we’re focused on exchange-traded metals, so gold, copper, lead, zinc, silver, nickel, platinum and palladium. For gold, we’re targeting US$1,100 to US$1,200 gold. I was originally looking at US$2.50 to US$3 copper, but copper is now at US$2.30 and there aren’t many copper assets out there, so we’re primarily looking at gold.

We don’t want low grade — you need as much grade as you can. I have groups reaching out to me saying they’ve got 3 million or 5 million oz. gold — then you look at it and it’s at half a gram. I won’t even go any further — we don’t have to — there are other assets out there that have really good grade and would potentially make money at current spot.

TNM: How willing are people to make deals right now? About a year ago buyers wanted to make deals, but potential sellers were holding out for better deals.

PD: With gold, it’s funny, we were negotiating with one junior and

they wanted to a deal, but their terms were ridiculous and we couldn’t get a deal done. A couple weeks ago, when gold pushed through below US$1,100, these guys called us up and said: ‘We’ll play ball.’ So some juniors, the ones with management teams that are honest will say to us, “We like Keith, we want to see our shareholders benefit. We want this in good hands and we’re willing to do a deal.”

But the surprising part is the other groups out there — they have no money, they have a good asset, but they’re prepared to enact a scorched earth policy.

They’ll take out debentures or get a loan against their asset and put a lien on the asset. Another company, they have a good asset and they’re trying to do a toll-milling agreement where they just mine out all the high grade — basically plucking out the eyes — and feed it to a local mill just to keep the lights on for a couple more years.

I’m shocked at some of the desperation moves some of these companies are making. Other companies are accruing payables, the management are accruing sal-

So it’s all over the map. There are groups that are willing to do a deal and there are other groups that have stuck their heads in the sand.

TNM: You mentioned that you believe we’re a couple years away from a recovery — why is that?

PD: I do, we’ve been out marketing and talking to investors and players on Bay Street, Wall Street and London. A lot of people have been burned by the sector and they have a really bitter taste in their mouth, and right now the sentiment is very, very negative. I’d even go as far as to say it’s toxic, where people, not only are they not interested in mining, they just hate mining. That will take a while to change.

I think this is worse than what we went through in the late nineties, and the reason for that is that producers weren’t jacked up on debt.

They were also hedged, which protected their downside, and they were mining high grade to keep the lights on. Nowadays, majors are up to their eyeballs in debt, they don’t have much high grade and they’re not hedged. Then you put that into an environment where you’re seeing some volatility in the markets and in that metal, and they’re way more susceptible.

People ask Keith when things are going to turn around and he’ll say, “How are the majors with all this debt going to turn things around [with mergers and acquisitions (M&A)] when the first thing they have to do is get their margins up?” So they start cutting costs and firing people and that takes a couple years, and then once they do that, they focus on reducing their debt levels and that doesn’t happen overnight either, so the majors have to fix themselves first before they come back in and start doing M&A again, and I think that’s going to take a while.

Judging from past cycles, I think this is going to take a couple of years. We’ll have to chew through it and right now, globally with what’s going on in China and Europe and a lot of countries — slowing growth and oversupply in certain commodities, especially iron ore — it’ll take a while for demand to exceed supply again.

TNM: You were saying that your timeline is three to five years — is that when you expect to attract joint-venture partners and vend out projects?

PD: For the next three to six months, we’ll be acquiring another couple of assets that have between 3 million and 5 million oz.

gold. Then over the next two years, we’ll continue to acquire assets. Ideally, we’d like to have another 30 to 40 assets.

In terms of unlocking value and the exit strategy, it would be anywhere from three to five years.

That’s when we’d start selling these assets to other companies or groups — again, holding on to a minority interest, stream or royalty, joint venture, spinout or any other combination of the above.

TNM: What is your financial position now?

PD: We’ve got about $4 million in cash. We’re using our shares to make acquisitions — we don’t use cash. Most of the juniors we’ve spoken to are happy to take our shares because investors, they might have invested at $1 per share. Now the share price is at a nickel, and if you accept cash, then you’re crystallizing your losses. Given the track record of Keith Neumeyer, who’s founded 2-billion-dollar companies, they’d rather take shares in our stock and still have the opportunity for their shareholders to participate in the upside.

TNM: Are you concerned about dilution over the long-term, using shares for all of your acquisitions?

PD: Every time you do a deal there’s going to be dilution, but we’re looking at assets that we can acquire for less than US$10 an oz., and in a normal market they’d be trading at US$70 to US$80 an oz. in the ground. So we’re looking at situations where you acquire a company and take 20% dilution, but the assets themselves are probably worth seven, eight, nine times what we paid for them. So what you make up in valuation and in value greatly, overwhelmingly exceeds what you take in dilution, and that’s the opportunity.

TNM: You made your first acquisition with Coastal Gold in July.

What was it that you liked about the Hope Brook asset?

PD: Geologically it’s a fantastic asset. It’s a formerly producing mine and when I was an undergrad 20 years ago in geology, one of the first things I learned was that the best place to look for a mine is next to a mine. So it’s a nice large land package, we think there’s probably another 1 or 2 million oz. in the ground, it currently hosts about 1 million oz. gold at 5 grams per tonne gold.

The average width of mineralization is 20 metres and it’s a pretty consistent, so you can use a lowcost underground mining method.

What also really blew me away is there’s a powerline to the project. We flew in — myself, our CEO Chris Osterman and Keith Neumeyer — to Hope Brook just a couple of weeks ago, and you walk into camp and you just flick on the

lights, and boom, everything was on. So it’s got infrastructure, which is critical for us, and the power costs in Newfoundland are some of the cheapest in the world at 3–4¢ a kilowatt hour. It’s next to the ocean: there’s a port, there’s an airstrip, we have all the metallurgy. It was owned by Royal Oak in the 1990s and it went out of production not because it ran out of material, but because gold went down to US$230 an oz. and Royal Oak went bankrupt.

Newfoundland is just a fantastic place to do business. Because it’s a brownfields project, it wouldn’t take long to permit — the government there was speaking in months as opposed to years.

It checks all the boxes, and we were absolutely ecstatic that we got our hands on it. We got it for about $11 million, and I think in a normal market, it would be worth $100 million.

Hope Brook is our flagship. We wanted to make a statement to the market that we’re going to go after quality projects and get a good price. We have 18 other assets as well: 17 in Mexico and one in the U.S. We have a number of projects in Sonora state, but they’re all grassroots, early stage and don’t have any resources.

TNM: For the next acquisitions, you’re also looking in the Americas.

Any place in particular?

PD: We like Canada a lot because Canadian gold deposits tend to be high grade and long-lived. We like Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. We do like Nevada, Arizona and Mexico, and then we like most of South America — Chile, Peru — we think Argentina’s going to get better, we think Ecuador is getting better and Colombia’s not bad. But we do like Canada a lot — I think Canada has the highest-grade gold deposits in the world.

TNM: Over the next couple of years are you going to be doing work on any of these projects, or are you just sitting on them until the market turns?

PD: I’ll be honest with you — the market doesn’t care if you put out really good drilling results. One of the criteria for acquiring these assets is that the holding costs are low. That’s why we like projects that have a resource on them, because that means they’ve already piled in a bunch of money on drilling. So no, there’s no real point. It’s much cheaper for me to buy ounces than to drill for ounces right now. It’s really hard to raise money. There’s no point in doing any work because the market won’t reward you for that.

I think they’re more likely to reward us if we continue to make good acquisitions.
