he future of Sabina Gold and Silver’s (TSX: SBB; US-OTC: SGSVF) promising Back River gold property, 400 km southwest of the community of Cambridge Bay in Nunavut, has come into question after a decision by the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) that recommends delaying permits until “circumstances are more favourable, and uncertainty regarding potential effects and efficacy of mitigation measures has been established.”

In a report that runs 350 pages the regulatory agency cited a number of concerns with the Back River mine plan, but the major issues surround regional caribou populations, closure uncertainties related to climate change and tailings remediation.

he purchase of a past-producing heap leach mine in southeastern Idaho marks Pilot Gold’s (TSX: PLG) first acquisition this year and underscores the junior’s heightened focus on gold projects in the Western U.S. under new CEO Cal Everett.

Pilot Gold is buying the mine and its surrounding property — now referred to as the ‘Mineral Gulch’ project — from Western Pacific Resources (TSXV: WRP) for US$800,000 in cash, 300,000 of its common shares and a 0.5% net smelter return royalty.

The large, oxidized, Carlin-style and sediment-hosted gold system — whose surface footprint extends over 12 sq. km — produced 435,000 oz. gold between 1992 and 1997 from seven small, shallow pits under previous owner Pegasus Gold Corporation.

The operation averaged head grades of 0.7 gram gold per tonne and historical recoveries of 65%.

“THIS WAS SOMETHING I’VE HAD MY EYE ON FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, AND I’M JUST THRILLED WE WERE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF.”

“This was something I’ve had my eye on for the last four years and I’m just thrilled we were able to pull it off,” the company’s vice-president of exploration and geoscience Moira Smith says.

“It’s 12 sq. km, so it’s large. It’s a big, shallow oxide with historic intercepts, and it’s a past producer — those are all the qualities we’re looking for in new acquisitions — and a good price, of course, so in that sense it looks like our other major projects, Goldstrike and Kinsley, and it also suits our company and who we are.”

The company plans to use the same data-compilation approach at Mineral Gulch that it has at Kinsley in Nevada and Goldstrike in Utah.

The historic data for Mineral Gulch will be digitized and

matched with surface mapping and sampling results to generate a 3-D model before starting a first-phase, reverse-circulation infill and stepout drill program.

The historic data includes 520 drill holes — a significant number of which with unmined intercepts, such as 1.12 grams gold over 25.9 metres, 3.3 grams gold over 21.3 metres and 3.15 grams over 18.3 metres. Of the 27,000 historic assay intervals, 4,100 intervals returned greater than 0.5 gram gold and 1,800 intervals returned greater than 1 gram gold. There are also 8,400 soil samples in the historic database.

In addition, Western Pacific Resources drilled 35 holes in 2011, See PILOT / 2

with highlights of 61 metres grading 0.45 gram gold, including 12.2 metres grading 1.24 grams gold, 15.2 metres of 1.24 grams gold, 59.4 metres averaging 0.38 gram gold and 54.7 metres returning 0.88 gram gold, including 24.4 metres grading 1.59 gram gold.

“As a company we really like working in a data-rich environment where we can use a lot of data to leverage exploration,” Smith says in a telephone interview from her base in Elko, Nev. “There are 485 historic drill holes, and the cost to redrill would be astronomical, but to get them and use them to make a 3-D model is fantastic, and it also fits what we’re best at, too, because we have a technical team that is competent modelling data sets.”

Smith notes that it took the company almost 16 months at Goldstrike to work up data, validate it and do a 3-D model before drill-testing, and says a similar approach will be taken at Mineral Gulch.

In addition to the 520 holes for which they have data, the geologist says that there are another 400 drill holes they’re trying to track down.

“When you think about what you’re really getting from an old property with that much drilling — it would take years to do that. So we can go right in and start compiling and do surface mapping, and integrate this into a 3-D model. We’ve already loaded this stuff into Leapfrog, so we sort of know what we’re dealing with.”

oxide gold occurrences throughout, and gold-in-soil anomalies over 12 sq. km. The company says that a gold-bearing, low-angle fault, seen in most of the historic pits, underlies the broader target area.

The company adds that the historic drilling focused on outcropping gold mineralization, leaving undrilled potential in target horizons beneath shallow cover, while gold mineralization continues down-dip of most of the historic pits under shallow cover. There are also large areas between the pits that haven’t been drilled.

“We’ll pick up where the previous operators left off, and what I really like about it from a geological standpoint is that there is a longangle fault system that is in all of the old pits and it looks like it’s the same one, and if that’s the case it extends under all of those pits, and that gives us a large number of targets to fill in the mineralization,” Smith says. “Maybe it’s analogous to how we approached Goldstrike, where we’re looking at a relatively continuous gold mineralized system that underlies everything and we’re picking up where the old miners

left off.”

Mineral Gulch is situated on the southeast flank of Idaho’s Black Pine Mountains, 13 km north of Curlew Junction, at the intersection of Utah state highways 30 and 42.

The mountain range is underlain by predominantly Devonian- to Permian-age sedimentary rocks — some weakly metamorphosed, according to a 2013 technical report on the property — and mineralization at the project is made up of multiple low-grade, sedimentary rock-hosted disseminated metal zones and related veins. Minor base metals, including copper, zinc and lead, are found in some of the veins, and mercury was produced early in the region's history.

Ot her companies t hat have worked on the Mineral Gulch property include Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM) (1964–1974), ASARCO and Noranda (1986–1990).

“The Noranda exploration soil sampling is particularly interesting,” the technical report outlined.

“It is clear that the historic soil sampling identified a number of gold anomalies and that there is an apparent correlation between these anomalies and the historic open pits.

This makes any untested anomalies excellent targets for additional work.

The Noranda work resulted in the identification of seven mineralized bodies, which were subsequently mined from six pits.”

Pilot Gold’s Goldstrike and Kinsley projects are both Carlin-style, sediment-hosted projects. Goldstrike is in Washington County, southwestern Utah, 50 km northwest of St. George, with a stratigraphic and structural setting, and gold mineralization similar to other sediment-hosted gold systems.

Like Mineral Gulch, the Goldstrike property contains a pastproducing mine (1988–1994) with an exploration database, shallow drill holes with unmined oxide gold intercepts, and untested gold targets.

The past-producing oxide heapleach mine churned out 209,000 oz. gold and 197,000 oz. silver from 8 million tonnes of ore at an average recovered grade of 1.2 grams gold from 12 shallow pits. It closed due to low gold prices.

Kinsley Mountain is south of Newmont Mining’s Long Canyon deposit, with a stratigraphic, structural setting and gold mineralization similar to other sediment-

hosted gold systems in the underexplored area east of the Carlin trend in northeastern Nevada. Kinsley is also home to a past-producing mine with an exploration database and untested gold targets, southeast of Elko County and 90 km from Newmont’s Long Canyon.

As for Mineral Gulch, Smith can’t wait to get back to work. “We’re looking at probably a year before we get out there and drill, but there is a valid permit for drilling 30 holes, so we can get out there and actually start drilling,” she says.

“It’s such a great fit for us both in terms of the kind of thing we’re looking for and the people we have, and it’s a good match with the other projects … so we think that as far as junior miners go, we’ve got the best portfolio in the Great Basin, and we’re continuing to search for other opportunities where we can get clean ownership of significant assets.”

Tara Hassan of Haywood Securities said in a research note about the acquisition that “with a low purchase price and favourable geology, Pilot is well positioned to deliver value from the project over time.” TNM

Nautilus probes for more at CCZ SEABED MINING

| Company ups resource estimate to 685 Mt for vast polymetallic nodule deposit

BY LESLEY STOKES

T

lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

here’s an ocean of opportunity for aspiring seafloor miner Nautilus Minerals (TSX: NUS; US-OTC: NUSMF) at its wholly owned, polymetallic nodule project within the ClarionClipperton fracture zone (CCZ) in the central Pacific Ocean.

The CCZ, which measures 750 km wide and 4,500 km long, is the largest and highest-grade coppernickel-cobalt nodule deposit in the world, according to the company.

“There are a lot of untapped resources sitting on the seafloor, and the project is just the tip of the iceberg,” Michael Johnston, president and CEO, tells The Northern Miner from the company’s headquarters in Toronto. “The size of the CCZ is about the size of Canada. You can drive a camera from one end to the other and there’s nothing but nodules for the entire trip. It’s enormous.”

Nautilus recently upgraded copper-nickel-cobalt resources across six of its exploration areas that cover 2.2% of the CCZ, or 74,700 sq. km, reaching 6 km below sea level.

Resources stand at 2.6 million wet tonnes of 1.3% nickel, 1.1% copper and 0.2% cobalt as measured; 68.1 million wet tonnes of 1.4% nickel, 1.2% copper and 0.2% cobalt as indicated; and 685.3 million wet tonnes of 1.3% nickel, 1.1% copper and 0.2% cobalt as inferred.

The CCZ is a breeding ground for polymetallic nodules, as it resides near a divergent tectonicplate boundary where volcanism spews metal-rich f luids into the seawater.

The nodules form when the metals latch onto “seeds” such as coral, older broken nodules or even shark teeth, and can grow up to 10 cm or more in size.

Elsewhere in the world, it could take a million years for nodules to grow one to 10 millimetres in diametre, whereas in the CCZ, it takes only 1,000 years because of favourable conditions.

The company says the deposits are similar to nickel laterites, but are typically higher grade and aren’t prone to liquefaction. Liquefaction occurs when ore crumbles and behaves like a fluid, which can make a vessel unstable during transport.

“Exploring for these types of deposits is different than drilling for a porphyry copper on land,” Johnston says. “The nodules are sitting on the seafloor in mud, so we sample them using free-fall box corers from a ship and calculate the abundance and grade of the nodules that are brought up to surface.”

The 2013 resource estimate for the project designated samples spaced at 20 km for inferred resources, 7 km for indicated and up to 3.5 km for measured.

In the upcoming months, Johnston says the company will proceed with environmental and engineering studies in preparation for a preliminary economic study.

Meanwhile, Nautilus is forging ahead on plans to break ground 1.6 km below sea level at its Solwara 1 seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposit, 30 km off the coast of Papua New Guinea.

Johnston says the company expects to begin production by the first quarter of 2018.

“The critical item that determines our schedule is building the vessel, which is our mining platform,” he says. “We’ll assemble the various blocks in the next couple of weeks, so by mid-2017 we expect to float the vessel and have it outfitted with

our mining equipment.”

SMS deposits are different from polymetallic nodule deposits, Johnston adds. They’re the modern analogues of volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits — a major source of the world’s terrestrial copper, gold, zinc and silver.

The mound-shaped orebodies are clustered around submarine volcanic arcs, where metal-rich fluids are exhaled from hydrothermal vents, or “black smokers,” and form layers of massive sulphide on the seabed.

Solwara 1 has 1.03 million indicated tonnes of 7.2% copper, 5 grams gold per tonne, 23 grams silver per tonne, 0.4% zinc for 74,160 tonnes copper and 165,600 oz. gold.

Inferred resources add 1.5 million tonnes of 8.1% copper, 6.4 grams gold, 34 grams silver, 0.9% zinc for 124,740 tonnes copper and 316,900 oz. gold. Both calculations assume a 2.6% copper equivalent cut-off.

“We like to think of seafloor mining as having the same potential as

offshore oil and gas. It has the same parallel,” he adds. “The industry started going offshore in the 1960s, and now a large percentage of oil and gas comes from offshore reserves.”

Nautilus plans to mine the top 10 metres of the deposit at a rate between 2,200 and 4,320 tonnes per day for 1.4 million tonnes per year at a US$64-per-tonne operating cost.

Johnston says the company received its three seafloor production tools in January: an auxiliary cutter, a bulk cutter and a collecting machine.

He explains the auxiliary cutter would work with the bulk cutter to excavate the ore, while the collecting machine would harvest the slurry and pump it to the ship via a riser system.

“There are no explosives, and the footprint is really small because we don’t have waste dumps or tailings ponds like they do on land,” Johnston says. “Once the ore is harvested we ship it directly to China

and they use all of it, so it’s quite unique in that sense compared to other mining projects — you have no long-term liabilities.”

Capital expenses for the “floating mine” run US$383 million, but Nautilus’ chief financial officer, Shontel Norgate, said in an email that “costs have increased since the PNG dispute,” and the company still needs between US$200 million and US$225 million to complete the construction.

(The company suspended development of Solwara 1 in early 2013 when a dispute arose with the PNG government over its partnership agreement. The company negotiated a deal in May 2014, and received a US$113-million payment in December 2014, which gave the PNG government a 15% stake in the project.)

To help offset the costs, Nautilus raised $28.3 million in a rights offering in April, which represented 27% of the total shares on offer.

“We’re in discussions with groups about getting additional capital,” Johnston says. “In terms of capital intensity, mining the seaf loor is actually quite low compared to landbased projects. We’re not building roads, power plants or tailings dams — it’s all on the vessel, compact, reusable and mobile. So we’ll mine our first deposit, then go mine a whole series of these deposits.”

He notes the underwater mining tools for the Solwara 1 project are rated to work up to 2,500 metres deep underwater, so Nautilus will require a different approach to mine nodules off the seafloor in the CCZ. “Nothing is stopping us from using the current vessel and riser system for the nodules,” he says.

“But you don’t need to cut the nodules, just collect them, so we’ll be looking at a way to harvest the material that’s cheaper and simpler than the one used at Solwara 1.” TNM

Uncertainty on the horizon in the Yukon LEGISLATION | Pasloski, Yukon Party supported development bill that Trudeau Liberals oppose

T

he winds of legislative change out of Ottawa are shifting regulatory expectations for natural resource development across Canada, and the Yukon government is feeling the impact.

The Trudeau Liberals have expressed a desire to rejuvenate Canadians’ “trust in the

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL regulatory process,” which so far has equated mkeevil@northernminer.com to an overt dedication to stomping out any VANCOUVER remnants of the Harper Conservatives’ various attempts to streamline reviews for everything from pipelines to mining projects.

Trudeau is apparently big on “consultations,” and the federal government recently unveiled plans to “modernize” the regulatory process, which has begun with a widespread review that could impact the National Energy Board and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.

For Yukon Premier Darrell Pasloski, this creates a bit of a problem because the federal government has torpedoed the contentious Bill S-6 amendment to the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act (YESAA) put forward by the pro-development Conservatives. Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs, Carolyn Bennett, indicated the changes are not “fair and appropriate” to stakeholders and First Nations.

Now, it isn’t a total disaster for Yukon natural resources since the Trudeau Liberals are essentially taking YESAA back a step, and eliminating four key proposals that triggered a petition in the Yukon Supreme Court last year to have the legislation struck down.

The prickly situation for Pasloski and the Yukon Party is that they actually endorsed Bill S-6 under a pro-development and proinvestment mandate, and are now forced to pull an about-face and position the piece of legislation as a “federal” matter. So let’s throw it back on the Harper government, essentially.

The major issues for certain First Nations and communities in the territory included: time limits on the review process; exempting a project from reassessment unless there has been a significant change; the ability for the federal minister to provide binding policy direction; and the ability to delegate the federal minister’s powers to the territorial government.

The territorial government is also embroiled in a Supreme Court of Canada battle with the Vuntut Gwitchin, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and Nacho Nyak Dun First Nations over land-use planning in the Peel River watershed.

The Yukon Party is attempting to open up 70% of the nearly 70,000 sq. km of Yukon wilderness to natural resource development. Canada’s top court is expected to hear the case next year, and determine just how far back into the consultation process the Yukon government must go with regional stakeholders.

The prohibition on mineral staking and oil and gas development in the Peel watershed remains in place until Jan. 1, 2018.

The ongoing political theatre has not dissuaded recent major investment in the territory, however, with Goldcorp moving to acquire Kaminak Gold and its multimillion-ounce Coffee deposit for $500 million earlier this year.

But the shifting policy landscape does underline how natural resource companies are going to have to heed their project address at least as much as its mineral or economic value.

For example, the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) recently shocked Sabina Gold & Silver with a recommendation against development of the promising Back River gold property, 400 km southwest of the community of Cambridge Bay. There wasn’t anything unusual about the mine plan, but the project happened to be near hypothetical calving and post-calving ranges of the dwindling Bathurst caribou herd. Sabina also hadn’t considered the impact of global warming in its closure plan. The company’s stock subsequently tanked.

Meanwhile, Agnico Eagle Mines has had no such problems at its Meadowbank gold mine, and TMAC Resources recently received NIRB approval for developing its Doris North project in the Kitikmeot region, 125 km southwest of Cambridge Bay and east of the Bathurst Inlet.

With Environment Minister Catherine McKenna recently pledging tougher environmental rules by next year, we can expect permit timelines growing longer and political risk heavier across the country, which would likely equate to more situations like Sabina and Bill S-6, and less of TMAC. So make sure to check the GPS coordinates on that mineral deposit, because it’s going to be all about location. TNM

Explorers need to rethink their deposits, John Kaiser says INNOVATION

| Opportunity could lurk beneath marginal deposits

BY LESLEY STOKES

J

lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

ohn Kaiser, newsletter writer of Kaiser Research Online, spoke at this year’s Vancouver Commodity Forum — hosted

by Zimtu Capital in downtown Vancouver in June — and shared his thoughts on why discovery stories are making a comeback among junior explorers.

“Discovery exploration is what the space used to be all about in the 1980s and 1990s, where the idea was to generate a prospect, find a target and hopefully make a discovery that would get bought out by a major before delivering the first resource estimate,” he told the audience during a presentation at the event.

The latest example occurred in 2004, when Virginia Gold Mines discovered the Éléonore gold deposit in the James Bay region of Quebec. In 2006, the project was scooped up by Goldcorp for US$420 million.

Since then, there have been few major discoveries, despite a surge in exploration investment across the resource sector. Kaiser reckons this is because deposits are becoming harder to find, and the use of traditional exploration techniques — such as prospecting and surface sampling — just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Instead, he says, many companies are sitting idle with “projects that are worth zero at US$1,200 per oz. gold.”

“Companies shouldn’t listen to Rick Rule and his nonsense about ‘shut down everything, go into hibernation and wait for gold to come up,’” he said. “If so, they’ll probably get swallowed up by some mineral bank, the shareholders may get 50% or 100% markup on the stock, but their optionality on the project’s greater potential would vanish.”

He suggests that companies could get greater value from their assets by “raising the risk capital, putting your geologists to work and drilling where others found nothing in the past.”

He adds that “junior explorers need to ask themselves whether they really understand the whole

“JUNIOR EXPLORERS NEED TO ASK THEMSELVES WHETHER THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE EXTENT OF THE MINERALIZING SYSTEM.” JOHN KAISER NEWSLETTER WRITER, KAISER RESEARCH ONLINE

extent of the mineralizing system … perhaps there’s room for something bigger and better than what they already have.”

He used Probe Mines’ Borden Lake gold project, near Chapleau, Ont., as an example of an openpittable, disseminated gold deposit of nearly 4 million oz. gold that he says became “worthless” as the gold price dropped below US$1,200 per ounce.

Probe continued exploration and in late 2012 discovered a highergrade mineralization zone beneath the open-pit resource, which measured 1.6 million oz. gold in 9.3 million indicated tonnes at 5.39 grams gold. The upgrade was enough to attract a $526-million buyout from Goldcorp last year.

Sabina suffers permit setback at Back River SABINA From 1

ing and disappointing” during a conference call, and said the report didn’t seem to represent the positive tone of recent public hearings.

The company had anticipated a project certificate from the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada during the second quarter, which would have led to construction start-up in late 2017 and first gold by 2020.

McLeod noted that the NIRB “clearly opened the door for resubmission and modification,” but said there was “no timeline” on the process. The company says the permit setback could delay construction at Back River by at least one year due to “seasonality.”

The decision indeed seems odd since Back River appeared to enjoy support from stakeholders. The Kitikmeot Inuit Association also championed the project, while the governments of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories suggested that Sabina’s final environmental impact statement warranted development permits.

Nunavut has become a relatively low-risk permit jurisdiction in Canada, with Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM) operating the Meadowbank gold mine, and TMAC Resources (TSX: TMR; US-OTC: TMMFF) receiving NIRB approval for development of its Doris North project in the Kitikmeot region, 125 km southwest of Cambridge Bay and east of the Bathurst Inlet.

The NIRB added that “many of the preferred means of carrying out [the project] chosen by [the com-

Sabina Gold and Silver’s Back River gold project, 400 km southwest of the town of Cambridge Bay in Nunavut. SABINA GOLD AND SILVER

pany], such as tailings disposal and impoundment measures, are based on methods and technologies widely used in other northern mines.”

It appears that Sabina suffered from Back River’s location, however, and its closeness to the migration route of the Bathurst caribou herd, which the Northwest Territories government says has halved since 2012 to 16,000 animals.

Sabina noted in its research that the Bathurst caribou range hadn’t overlapped the project area in “over

20 years,” but the NIRB regulators cited speculation that it could swing back to the area at some point.

Interestingly, the issue has a transboundary component due to the opposition of communities in the Northwest Territories — specifically the Lutsel K’e Dene and Yellowknives Dene First Nations.

Under the provisions of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, the next step is for the federal Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs to review the NIRB’s report. Sabina is

reportedly “reviewing its options,” including a request to the Minister to refer the report back to NIRB for further consideration.

On June 16, McLeod sent a letter to Minister Carolyn Bennett requesting she “defer any decision in response to the report until [the company] has time to review it in detail.”

In September 2015 Sabina released a revised feasibility study at Back River that models a compact 3,000-tonne-per-day operation that would generate 198,100 oz. gold annually over an 11.8-year mine life, at all-in sustaining cash costs of US$763 per ounce.

Initial capital for the project is an estimated $415 million, with sustaining capital of $185 million.

Based on a US$1,150 per oz. gold price, the mine would generate a US$480-million, after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate, and a 24.2% internal rate of return.

Canaccord Genuity analyst Eric Zaunscherb noted that transcripts of the final public hearing for the environmental assessment “suggested a positive and supportive

tone from stakeholders,” while documents indicated “that the current Bathurst herd caribou calving and post-calving ranges do not overlap the project development area.”

Zaunscherb said Back River would “eventually become a mine,” but Canaccord dropped Sabina’s target price 75¢ to $1 per share, pushed project start-up back two years and added $50 million to capital expenses to “cover additional remediation efforts and the expected increase in equipment and services costs through the cycle.” Zaunscherb also called the setback “surprising” and noted that NIRB based the decision on “several hypothetical issues.”

Sabina has traded within a 52week range of 31¢ to $1.87, and dropped nearly 40%, or 66¢, after news of the NIRB decision en route to a $1.06-per-share close at press time. The company has 220 million shares outstanding for a $152.3-million market capitalization, and closed a $32.3-million bought-deal financing in late May, wherein it issued 19.8 million shares priced at $1.63 per share.

got his geologists to work and found the Hugo Dummett zone, which was five times bigger and better than what they originally had. That discovery alone took the company to a $4 billion valuation,” he said.

“The trick is for junior companies to apply new exploration methods to generate targets that no one has seen before, and hopefully it will turn into a discovery,” he continued. “I want the geologists to tell me a convincing story about why their region is so interesting and what makes their target so special.

If they can’t teach me Geology 101, they don’t deserve to be in charge of an exploration junior.”

Kaiser points out that 703 out of the 1,500 resource sector companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange in the past five years had negative working capital totalling $2.4 billion.

“These are the zombie companies that will never pay back the money and have no chance of going any-

where,” he said. “But there’s a big change that’s happening, and we’re not going to have the same number of explorers as before. New professionals are entering into the equation and the pretend-lifestyle guys won’t be able to compete with them.”

He offered Arizona Mining, Sirios Resources and Nevada Exploration as “excellent” examples of juniors that are taking an innovative approach to exploration.

Last year, Arizona discovered carbonate replacement zinc-leadsilver mineralization downdip of its Central manto-style oxide silver deposit, 80 km southeast of Tucson, Ariz., after reinterpreting historical data.

The newly defined Taylor zone hosts 34 million tonnes of 4.5% lead, 4.5% zinc, 0.1% copper and 66.91 grams silver per tonne, whereas the shallow, open-pittable Central deposit contains 60 million tonnes of 68 grams silver. According to a company presentation, only 17% of the target area at Taylor has been drilled.

In Quebec, geologists at Sirios are finding higher-grade structural trends at the company's Cheechoo gold property — next door to Goldcorp’s Éléonore gold mine — that were largely untested during historical drilling. Latest drill results on the property highlighted 37.2 grams gold per tonne over 4.1 metres, and 31.8 grams gold over 6 metres.

Nevada Exploration is the first junior company in the U.S. state to create the largest groundwater geochemistry database and use it to explore for hidden, Carlin-style gold deposits. Interpretation of the data led the junior to acquire five properties in the region, including its flagship 38.2 sq. km Kelly Creek project, located along the Battle Mountain–Eureka gold trend, where exploration is ongoing.

“There’s a whole new expectation for what counts as a discovery exploration junior,” Kaiser said. “If juniors do good geological work and apply the risk capital, they could tag into something that could be worth an awful lot.” TNM

M A R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / JUNE 13–17 Worries that Britain might vote to leave the European Union in a referendum on June 23 sent Canada’s main stock index down 0.97% to 13,901.77. A vote to leave the EU could slow global growth and weaken commodity prices, strategists warn, and many investors sought a safe haven in gold, which briefly exceeded US$1,300 per oz. (the first time in 15 months), before finishing at US$1,298.65 per oz., in a 1.9% increase. The S&P/TSX Global Gold Index rose 0.2% to 232.17. The S&P/TSX Global Mining Index advanced 2.3% to 58.20, and West Texas Intermediate crude closed at US$48.03.

Kinross Gold’s shares were the third most traded and fell 18¢ to $6.42. On June 13, the company announced the end of a strike by unionized employees at its Tasiast mine in Mauritania that had begun on May 24. Kinross reported that striking employees returned to work on June 11, with negotiations on a collective labour agreement and other items expected within 10 days. (Under Mauritanian labour laws, employees retain the right to strike during negotiations.) The gold miner also noted that the strike was not expected to impact its annual regional guidance and did not affect development of the Tasiast phaseone expansion. The positive news, however, was followed by an announcement on June 20 that mining and processing operations

at Tasiast had been suspended after allegations by the country’s labour ministry that certain expatriate employees at the mine held invalid work permits. The company said it “has taken all steps necessary to ensure that its work permits are in good standing and valid under Mauritanian law and to comply with the requisite formalities, including the filing of all requests and applications in accordance with the stipulated time frames.” It also noted that “a number of other institutions and companies in Mauritania are presently experiencing similar work-permit issues,” and reiterated its goal of increasing the number of local workers. (About 88% of the employees at Tasiast are Mauritanian nationals.)

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / JUNE 13–17 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index closed relatively unchanged at 715.36 points.

Spot gold nearly broke two-year highs, rising 1.9%, or US$24.41, to a US$1,298.65 per oz. close, as the U.S. Federal Reserve held rates on concerns over the impending Brexit vote and U.S. economic growth. Comex copper gained 1% to US$2.05 per lb., after a rise in oil prices and a weaker U.S. dollar.

Reservoir Minerals topped the valueadded category, gaining $1.02 to hit $9.63 per share after receiving shareholder approval to combine with Nevsun Resources and consolidate its Timok copper-gold project in Serbia. Nevsun sweetened its US$365 million cash-and-share bid for the company with an extra $2 per share, or $75 million in cash, just before the vote to ward off a campaign led by dissident shareholders who claimed the deal was undervalued. When the deal closes, all of Reservoir’s issued and outstanding common shares will be exchanged for two Nevsun common shares, representing a 35% premium to Reservoir’s 20-day, volume-weighted average price as of April 22.

Avino Silver & Gold Mines gained 45¢ to $3.11 per share in the wake of restarting production on June 6 at the second mine on its Avino silver-gold-copper property near Durango, Mexico. The company has since

reported that a dedicated power line to the Avino mine site was turned on and final permits received for the operation’s new tailings facility. With the expansion, the company can advance the tailings resource towards a production decision for a heap leach operation. The tailings contain 2.3 million inferred tonnes of 91.3 grams per tonne silver and 0.54 gram per tonne gold for 6.66 million oz. silver and 40,000 oz. gold.

Nubian Resources posted the greatest percentage change, gaining 9¢, or 1,900%, to a 10¢-per-share close on no reportable news. The company’s main asset includes the Excelsior Springs gold project in Esmeralda County, Nevada.

Nubian sold an option to Global Geoscience in 2011 to earn a 70% interest in the property, but relinquished the deal in December 2015 once the Australian-listed company failed to meet its work obligations. During its tenure, Global completed 4,000 metres of drilling, partly in tandem with an American subsidiary of Montreal-based Osisko Mining (now Osisko

Gold Royalties). The drill programs intercepted wide zones of low-grade gold within altered and quartz-veined country rock.

L

ast year Detour Gold’s (TSX: DGC) Detour Lake mine in northeastern Ontario was the second-largest gold producer in Canada. It’s now on track to take the top spot.

Detour Lake — a large-scale, open-pit operation with a 23-year mine life — sits 300 km northeast of Timmins and 185 km by road northeast of Cochrane. It hosts reserves of 16.4 million oz. (514.3 million tonnes at 0.99 gram gold per tonne). That’s more than double the reserves of its nearest competitor Canadian Malartic at 7.8 million oz. (221.5 million tonnes at 1.08 grams gold). Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM) and Yamana Gold (TSX: YRI; NYSE: AUY) jointly own Canadian Malartic, near Val-d’Or, Que. In 2015, Detour’s f lagship asset recorded annual production of 505,558 ounces. This put it behind Canadian Malartic’s 571,618 ounces.

“I DON’T CARE TO BE THE LARGEST. I WANT TO BE THE MOST PROFITABLE.” PAUL MARTIN PRESIDENT AND CEO, DETOUR GOLD

This year Detour Lake should produce 540,000 to 590,000 oz., while Canadian Malartic expects 572,000 oz. gold. Meanwhile, Goldcorp’s (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) Red Lake mine in Ontario forecasts 2016 production of 300,000 to 330,000 oz. gold, and Agnico’s Meadowbank mine in Nunavut anticipates 305,000 oz. gold.

But taking Canada’s largest goldproducer title is secondary to the company, which is focused on improving its bottom line.

“I don’t care to be the largest.

I want to be the most profitable,” Paul Martin, Detour’s president and CEO, tells The Northern Miner on a flight from Toronto to Cochrane during a June site visit.

“Chasing ounces isn’t what it’s all about,” he explains during the two-hour chartered flight, which also carries 40 analysts.

Detour Lake started making cash in the fourth quarter of 2015, and investors and analysts are waiting to see what’s next, Martin says.

“They’re always eager for growth … what we’ve said in the short term is that we are going to focus on the operation, make sure we continue to make money and optimize what we have.”

Its second priority is to look for organic growth on the large 625 sq. km claim block. The contiguous land package hosts the West Detour pit and the high-grade Zone 58N, among other targets. “Our exploration budget is US$12 million this year,” Martin says. “We now have an eight-year program to systemati-

operated a small open-pit and underground operation at the Detour Lake property. From 1983 to 1999, the operation churned out 1.8 million oz. gold from 14.3 million tonnes grading 3.82 grams gold.

Due to declining gold prices and poor economics, Placer stopped mining in mid-1999.

Commenting on the former operation, Martin notes that Placer selectively mined high grades of up to 6 grams gold and had difficulty processing it. “They said it was a

arathon Gold’s (TSX: MOZ) wholly owned Valentine Lake gold project in Newfoundland is one of the few open-pit projects in Canada that isn’t controlled by a major, president and CEO Phillip Walford told The Northern Miner in a recent interview.

All four of its open pits — Leprechaun, Marathon, Victory and Sprite — are in the 2-gram-goldper-tonne range, are open along strike and at depth, and have underground potential.

“They’re relatively shallow and the deepest hole we have is at 337 metres below surface — that’s not deep for underground,” he says. “It just shows that we have potential, a lot of potential, at depth on these deposits, but we also have potential along strike.”

Walford says only 10% of the 18 km long gold system identified on the property has been looked at in detail, so there is “a lot of blue sky.”

He adds that “there are still large parts of that 18 km where we have no drilling or informa-

cally evaluate this property.” This program aims to find high-grade satellite gold deposits within trucking distance of the mill.

The company’s third priority is to lower its debt. “When I took over as CEO, we had $680 million in debt.

We now have $425 million in debt.

Our only piece of debt matures in November 2017. We want to get at or below $300 million.”

Martin — who was previously chief financial officer— became interim CEO in November 2013, after founder Gerald Panneton resigned. Three months later, the

chartered accountant permanently filled Panneton’s role.

‘From the bottom to the top’ While 2016 is shaping up to be a great year for Detour, the company has had its share of headaches.

In 2006, Detour agreed to buy the Detour Lake property from Pelangio Mines for $75 million, mostly in shares, conditional on completing an initial public offering. It listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Jan. 31, 2007, after issuing 10 million shares at $3.50 apiece.

‘bad’ mine — that was its original image.”

To reinvent this image, Detour Gold spent its early years aggressively drilling the property.

From 2007 to 2009, it completed over 333,200 metres of delineation drilling and tabled an encouraging prefeasibility study. (Those metres increased to more than 541,000 by the end of 2011).

It completed a positive feasibility study in May 2010 that outlined an open-pit mine producing 649,000 oz. annually over a 16-year life, using reserves of 11.4 million ounces.

Since then, the reserves have grown 4.6 million oz. and the mine plan has undergone two revisions, with the latest in January 2016.

“The reason why it works now is because we’re not trying to mine just high grade. If you try to selectively mine this out — it wouldn’t work,” Martin says.

After the 2010 feasibility, Detour began permitting activities and strengthening its ties with the local First Nations. That November, it received approval to build the estimated $1.5-billion project.

Pierre Beaudoin, the company’s chief operating officer, who has spent three years in his current role and another three years in charge of building the mine, recalls how hard it was getting Detour Lake online.

“As you see me, I’m 27 years old.

And in the first three years, I got 15 years older,” he jokes on the twohour bus ride. The property is accessible year-round via Provincial

Highway 652 from Cochrane. “The construction was tough,” he adds in a more serious tone.

“We were a young company with essentially no money, and we needed to build a project of $1.5 billion.

We didn’t have money, we didn’t have the experience and we didn’t have the people. But somehow we managed to get the money, get the people and get the experience. So we did it,” he chuckles.

When Detour brought its initial investors on-site, Beaudoin recalls that there were only trees. “So we planted a Canadian flag where the gyrator would be. And we planted a Canadian flag where the end of the processing plant would be. In our best English, we told them that the plant would be built there and we would do 20 million tonnes.”

Detour’s conviction proved strong.

During 2010 and 2011, Martin led a $2-billion debt and equity raise, mainly to cover Detour Lake’s construction costs.

The company poured its first gold in February 2013, after 27 months of construction. Commercial production followed that September.

Despite the initial euphoria, Detour struggled to ramp up the processing plant to nameplate capacity of 55,000 tonnes per day.

In 2013 — its first year of production — Detour revised its guidance three times. It delivered 232,287 oz., including pre-commercial output.

Over the year, its share price plunged from $24.89 to $4.10.

Martin says the share price drop resulted from a lot of factors, including a decline in gold prices and the

operation failing to meet expectations, coupled with the sudden departure of founder Panneton.

Martin says the company had a hard time opening up the pit because it lacked the proper equipment, among other things. This led to processing lower grades, as well as lower production. The mill also had a few operational issues.

“The project was larger than we gave it credit,” Martin admits. It was the second time in recent history that a junior developed such a large mine in Canada, following Osisko Mining’s Canadian Malartic mine, which started production in 2011. Three years later, Osisko sold its 55,000-tonne-per-day operation to Agnico and Yamana.

In 2014, Detour revised its guidance once. It delivered 456,634 oz., within the low end of its forecast, and continued to tweak the operation.

It wasn’t until March 2015 that the plant surpassed its nameplate capac-

ity. Throughput averaged 56,400 tonnes per day for the last 10 months of 2015. The higher throughput led to record production of 505,558 ounces.

All-in sustaining costs and total cash costs were US$1,056 and US$775 per ounce. This marked a 16% and 18% improvement over 2014.

Martin, however, describes 2015 as a year of predictability at the mill versus stability.

Regardless, investors applauded the firm’s progress, pushing its shares at year-end to $14.41, marking a 52% increase over its 2014 close of $9.49, and a 251% increase over 2013.

Detour shares continue to climb in 2016 to exit June 21 at $29.64.

Ramping up Detour Lake On site, Detour Lake’s sheer size is apparent. So far, Detour has mined 100 metres of the pit, with mining slated to go down to more than 700 metres. (To put that in perspective, the CN Tower is 553.3 metres tall.)

The pit is also being widened.

Based on a life-of-mine (LOM) plan published in January, the operation will include the nearby West Detour deposit — formerly known as Block A — and processing lowgrade fines in the operation’s 23-year mine life.

West Detour hosts 1.5 million oz. in reserves and sits 1 km from the existing pit. The company plans to spend US$8 million this year on permitting, environmental and technical consultation. It expects to file an environmental assessment in the third quarter.

The deposit — estimated to cost US$80 million to build — should come online in 2019, following stripping in 2018. It has a 10-year operating life (2018 to 2028).

The LOM plan also assumes processing up to 1 million tonnes a year of low-grade fines, averaging 0.44 gram gold, beginning in 2019.

(Detour is looking to see if it can improve the low-grade fines and implement this process even earlier.)

The mine plan assumes a gradual ramp up between 2016 and 2019, where throughput should climb from 56,000 tonnes per day (20 million tonnes a year) to 63,000 tonnes per day (23 million tonnes a year).

Average annual production should come in at 617,000 oz. in the next three years. Over the LOM, annual output should average 655,000 ounces.

Estimated total site costs from 2016 to 2018 are US$812 per oz., and US$690 per oz. for the LOM. To the delight of many investors, Detour has hit its targeted 2019 plant throughput in recent weeks.

After providing a tour of the large processing plant, mine general manager Charles Hennessey touches upon the recent improvements.

In April 2016, Detour upgraded the 410-conveyor system, which is responsible for moving ore throughout the processing facility. It replaced the original steel belt with two fabric belts that are cheaper and easier to maintain. The conveyor — previously a major source of downtime — now runs faster. Tonnes per operating hour have climbed from 3,800 to 4,600, with the miner testing the upper limit of 5,000.

EIGHT GOLD PLAYS TO WATCH Oh Canada! A snapshot of active juniors With gold prices on the rise, the second half of 2016 is going to be a lively time for gold projects in Canada. The following is a snapshot of eight Canadian junior explorers and developers with recent financings under their belt and ambitious programs ahead.

ATLANTIC GOLD Atlantic Gold (TSXV: AGB) expects to begin construction at its Moose River gold mine in Nova Scotia this summer. The company has landed a commitment for bank debt of $115 million, as well as additional equipment and other financing to cover the open-pit mine’s initial $137-million capital cost.

A mid-2015 feasibility study for the fully permitted Touquoy and Beaver Dam deposits at Moose River projected a 30% post-tax internal rate of return (IRR) and $168-million net present value (NPV), based on US$1,200 per oz. gold. The project has an eight-year mine life, with reserves of 760,000 contained oz. gold in 16.5 million tonnes averaging 1.44 grams gold per tonne. Production is expected to start in late 2017.

BALMORAL RESOURCES Balmoral Resources (TSX: BAR) is starting a $4-million, 20,000-metre drill program at its Martiniere property in Quebec. The summer– fall campaign will see two drill rigs initially focus on expanding known gold zones along the Bug Lake trend.

The winter 2016 drill program returned results including 3.44 grams gold over 7.1 metres and 3.14 grams gold over 8.8 metres from the Upper Bug Lake zone, as well as high-grade intercepts from the Hanging Wall porphyry zone. Past results from the project have included up to 1,138 grams gold over 4.9 metres.

Balmoral is also advancing its Grasset nickel-PGM project in Quebec.

INTEGRA GOLD Integra Gold (TSXV: ICG) will use data from its recent Gold Rush Challenge to inform a drill program slated for August. The contest used crowdsourcing to find promising targets at Integra’s Sigma-Lamaque gold property in Val-d'Or, Que., based on historic data.

A 90,000-metre drill program aimed at expanding the project’s Triangle deposit is already underway. An updated PEA and resource estimate should be complete before year-end.

At a cut-off grade of 5 grams gold per tonne, indicated resources stand at 3 million tonnes grading 9.04 grams gold for 872,850 ounces. Inferred resources add 2.7 million tonnes at 9.08 grams for 800,620 ounces.

A March 2015 PEA (based on a

A busy summer awaits Premier Gold Mines (TSX: PG), whose first mine — the 40%-owned South Arturo gold joint venture (JV) with Barrick Gold in Nevada — should begin production in the third quarter.

In northern Ontario, a feasibility study for Premier’s 50%-owned TransCanada project, a JV with Centerra Gold, is also due in the third quarter.

This year the company expects to establish an initial resource for its Hasaga project in the Red Lake district of Ontario, after a 50,000-metre 2016 drill program. Results have included 117 metres of 1.18 grams gold and 2 metres of 57.65 grams gold.

advance its portfolio.

In addition to providing a $30-million loan and US$15 million in equity, Orion Mine Finance has agreed to provide Premier up to US$400 million to advance its projects or for potential acquisitions.

With the help of a recent $24-million financing, Victoria Gold (TSXV: VIT) is updating a 2012 feasibility for its Eagle gold project in the Yukon, and hopes to add resources.

PROBE METALS Probe Metals (TSXV: PRB) — a spin-off of Probe Mines after its 2015 acquisition by Goldcorp — finalized a merger with Adventure Gold in June.

The combined company’s flagship project is Val-d’Or East, in Quebec.

A 2013 resource estimate pegged inferred resources at Val-d’Or East at 9.1 million tonnes grading 2.63 grams gold for 770,000 ounces.

Adventure also contributed 19 earlystage exploration projects in other high-profile gold camps in Ontario and Quebec, including West Timmins, Casa Berardi and Detour Quebec.

At press time, 2016 exploration plans had not yet been announced, but Probe has $22 million in its treasury to

VICTORIA GOLD

The deposit hosts probable reserves of 91.5 million tonnes at 0.78 gram gold for 2.3 million oz. gold.

Indicated resources inclusive of reserves are 222 million tonnes grading 0.68 gram gold, with inferred resources adding 78 million tonnes at 0.6 gram gold.

The previous feasibility study projected a 10-year mine life, $366-million post-tax NPV and 23.5% IRR, with a $400-million initial capex.

The project is envisaged as an openpit, heap-leach mine.

This year Victoria Gold also plans to release a maiden resource for the Olive-Shamrock target, 2.5 km away from Eagle. A 12,000-metre, 2016 drill program has returned up to 144.5 metres of 1.16 grams gold and 26.5 metres of 2.16 grams gold.

FALCO RESOURCES Falco Resources (TSXV: FPC) is conducting a 20,000-metre drill program at its Horne 5 project in Rouyn-Noranda, Que. Drilling will target the Western Extension, which could add 5 to 10 million tonnes of ore, as well as the Quemont Extension.

A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) released in May predicts an underground mine at Horne could produce 236,000 oz. gold a year at allin sustaining costs of US$427 per oz., net of by-product silver, copper and zinc credits. The $905-million, bulktonnage operation would have a 12year life, based on indicated resources of 58.3 million tonnes grading 2.86 equivalent grams gold per tonne and 12.7 million inferred tonnes grading 3.08 equivalent grams gold.

HARTE GOLD Harte Gold (TSX: HRT) is in the midst of a $20-million, 70,000-tonne bulk sample at its high-grade Sugar deposit in northern Ontario. The program, which will be completed early next year, should give it enough information to make a production decision.

A 2012 PEA suggested that Sugar would be profitable at US$1,200 per oz. gold. The deposit holds indicated resources of 980,900 tonnes grading 8.72 grams gold per tonne (capped) for 275,000 oz., as well as 580,500 inferred tonnes averaging 7.03 grams gold for 131,300 oz. gold.

lion oz. gold and inferred resources of 2.2 million tonnes grading 2.85 grams gold for 199,800 oz. gold.

Walford wants to add at least 100,000 oz. gold to the resource before starting a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) in November. “We want to get that 1.1 million oz. we have in measured and indicated up to 1.4 million or 1.5 million before we start the PEA,” Walford says.

“We’re not looking at a big increase … we’ve really got almost enough right now.”

The company just raised $3 million in a private placement in May, adding to the $1.5 million it already had in the bank, and plans to drill 7,500 to 8,000 metres this summer to expand the strike length and resources at the Sprite and Victory deposits. (Marathon also gets $100,000 a year in exploration grants from the government of Newfoundland and Labrador.)

Walford reckons that Marathon could complete a PEA in the second quarter of 2017.

In the meantime, the junior is moving ahead with metallurgical testing. (The Research and Development Council of Newfoundland and Labrador paid for 75% of the tests.)

So far the results appear promising.

Recoveries via conventional milling at the Leprechaun deposit and the Marathon deposit yielded recovery rates of between 93% and 96%. The Marathon deposit is being tested this year. Those two deposits make up 92% of the resources in the company’s Valentine Lake camp.

Bottle-roll tests to determine recovery rates via heap leaching have come back at 73.6% after 96 hours and were still recovering at the end of the test. Short-column testing is underway at both the Leprechaun and Marathon deposits to assess gold leachability at coarser crush sizes.

The advantages of heap leaching over milling would be lower operating costs (44% less than milling) and lower capital costs (50% less than milling). But there are trade-offs.

“Heap leach would be cheaper but the recovery of gold would probably not be as great, so you have a tradeoff between cost and recovery,” Walford says. “We have options … and I should point out that all the heap leaching is being done on fresh rock — there is no oxidized material here at all.”

Walford adds that considering heap leach as part of the operation is a game changer. “One of the questions we’ll have to answer in [the fall] is what kind of operation we’re going to have. Will it be a heap leach for low-grade material and high grade handled by a small mill? It’s a great problem to have.”

The company has also entered the sixth year of environmental studies and so far has found no environmental issues or red flags across its 240 sq. km property. Walford acknowledges that Marathon won’t need to have completed an environmental impact assessment (EIS) for the PEA, but it will be needed for a feasibility study.

“Some of the environmental work we’ve done already will go directly into the EIS — six years of baseline studies, as well as some advanced ecological studies on flora and fauna.

I can’t really answer how much more we will need, but the important thing is that all these things require a lot of time, like collecting the data, so we have to do the studies, but the baseline work is done, so that’s a big one, because you can’t collect three years of information in a year.”

Walford notes that Marathon is starting to get noticed, which has lifted the company’s share price.

At press time, shares of Marathon Gold traded at 46¢ apiece.

“Part of it is the market, and I would be untruthful to say otherwise,” Walford says. “But it’s also that people are starting to see what we have and there is not a lot out there in Canada that is not already controlled by a major that has more than a million ounces, and has the kind of potential that we have — there just aren’t many of them.” TNM

almoral Resources (TSX: BAR; US-OTC: BALMF) is gearing up for a busy field season at its 61.7 sq. km Martiniere gold property in Quebec’s portion of the Abitibi greenstone belt.

The company plans to spend $4 million on a 20,000-metre drill program targeting the Bug Lake gold trend — a 1.8 km long, structurally hosted gold system, located 45 km east of Detour Gold’s (TSX: DGC) Detour Lake gold mine.

The program will build upon results from the company’s latest drilling, which has defined mineralization across 375 metres of the trend, starting at less than 100 metres deep.

Results include 44.8 metres of 1.18 grams gold and 43.6 metres of 1.41 grams gold, whereas higher-grade intercepts within the zones returned 7.1 metres of 3.44 grams gold and 8.8 metres of 3.14 grams gold.

“The sheer scale of mineralization really speaks to the strength of the overall system. We’re really pleased with what we’ve seen so far,” Darin Wagner, president and CEO, tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview. “It’s a long structure, so we’re working at it in manageable bites to get it resource ready. It’s basically a drill hole exercise for us right now.”

Wagner envisages that Bug Lake could have a “couple of starter pits on top of a higher-grade, underground operation,” similar to Goldcorp’s (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) Hoyle Pond gold mine in Timmins, Ont. “If we can deliver a 1.2 km by 500 metre block in the first resource … it’d make for a pretty nice mining scenario,” he says. “There’s still a significant amount of drilling to do … but we should be able to reach that goal by the end of 2017, at the latest.”

And the company is fully funded to see the project to its resource milestone, Wagner says.

Balmoral expects to close a $6-million private placement at the end of June. The placement offers 4.5 million federal flow-through shares at 90¢ per share and 1.7 million Quebec flow-through shares at $1.20 per share.

The cash injection combines with

the company’s $7.7 million in existing working capital, and $3.4 million from a pending sale of its Discovery zone gold property in Quebec to Wallbridge Mining (TSX: WM).

Balmoral discovered Bug Lake while exploring the property’s Martiniere West gold trend — a 1.5 km long, arc-shaped zone of shearing and alteration along the contact between a gabbro and a package of sedimentary and volcanic rocks.

The structural zone collides into the Bug Lake trend, where broad, lower-grade mineralization envelopes higher-grade ore shoots along the edges of a north-trending quartz-porphyry dyke.

“It took us a bit to recognize we had two different mineralized trends on the property,” he says.

“There’s no outcrop at surface and geochemistry doesn’t always work because it’s really wet, so if you’re exploring all you have is a model and a drill hole. But what’s emerging is a long, extensive gold-bearing structure, and like most deposits in the Abitibi, we expect it to have decent depth extent.”

• Developing Canada’s only Carlin-type gold district at the Rackla Gold Project, Yukon • Drilling underway near the 2015 Orion discovery hole which intersected 47.24 m of 3.79 g/t gold • Exploration in progress at the newly discovered 10 km² Airstrip anomaly - the largest gold-in-soil anomaly at the Rackla Gold Project

Wagner says that the Bug Lake and Martiniere West gold trends fall within an east-trending structural corridor defined by the Lac du Doigt fault in the north, and the Sunday Lake and Lower Detour deformation zones in the south.

Many of the region’s major gold deposits fall along these crustal-tapping structures, including Detour’s Detour Lake deposit, which hosts 514.3 million proven and probable tonnes grading 0.99 gram gold for 16.4 million oz. gold.

“The relative movement along the regional faults torqued the rocks in between and broke them open along pre-existing zones of weakness,” he says. “And the space it created gave the gold-bearing fluids an avenue onto our property.”

Bug Lake would be the company’s second resource estimate from a greenfields discovery across its 700 sq. km land holdings within the Abitibi.

In March, the company released the maiden resource for its Grasset nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum group metals deposit, north of the

Sunday Lake deformation zone, 10 km east of the Martiniere property.

Wagner says that Balmoral “unintentionally discovered” the magmatic sulphide deposit in 2014 while chasing a drill hole that returned 33 metres of 1.66 grams gold.

“We were drilling widely spaced holes following up on a gold hit and tagged into the nickel,” he says. “It’s testimony to being in the right place at the right time.”

The open-ended resource stands at 3.5 million indicated tonnes of 1.6% nickel, 0.2% copper, 0.03% cobalt, 0.34 gram platinum and 0.84 gram palladium, using 1.8% nickel equivalent cut-off. Inferred resources

add 91,000 tonnes of 1.1% nickel, 0.1% copper, 0.02% cobalt, 0.2 gram platinum and 0.48 gram palladium, using 1.19% nickel equivalent cut-off.

“The nickel market is extra soft right now, so we’ve put Grasset on the shelf as a bright little bobble to be plucked off once the nickel space gets back in reasonable shape,” he says. “Bug Lake is the next deposit we’ll get into a resource, so the focus for us has gone there.”

Balmoral has traded within a 52week range of 33¢ to 90¢ per share, and closed at 78¢ per share at press time. The company has 117.6 million shares outstanding for a $90.6-million market capitalization. TNM

Atac eyes road access toTiger gold deposit in the Yukon FINANCING

| Results from $3M exploration campaign could attract a partner

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

E

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

xplorer Atac Resources (TSXV: ATC; US-OTC: ATADF) thinks its high-grade Tiger oxide gold deposit could offer significant start-up cash flow for a large-tonnage operation at its massive Rackla project, 55 km northeast of Keno City in the central Yukon.

The company released an updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on Tiger in May and hopes positive results from an upcoming $3 million exploration campaign on two early-stage targets could attract further financing, or a strategic partner.

One of Atac’s main concerns at Rackla is a lack of infrastructure, since the project covers 1,700 sq. km of wilderness that isn’t road accessible.

The company has made headlines by finding Carlin-style gold mineralization across the regional Nadaleen and Rau trends, but Tiger is intriguing because it is near surface, and the company could build a road to the deposit relatively easily.

Atac last released a PEA on Tiger in 2014, but the economics have improved due to a lower Canadian dollar and some tweaks to the mine plan, including steepening of the pit walls, and including transitional and sulphide material that had previously been classified as waste.

The study models a US$109 million operation that would crank out

302,307 oz. gold over a four year mine life. Assuming a US$1,250 per oz. gold price, the plan features a US$76 million post-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate and a 28% internal rate of return. Tiger’s overall measured and indicated resources are 5.7 million tonnes of 2.66 grams gold for 485,700 contained oz. gold.

“The big upside for us could be the Airstrip anomaly right beside Tiger,” president and CEO Graham Downs says during an interview.

“We have the nice low-hanging oxide opportunity established, which is great, but we want to enhance that with something close by. Frankly, we have this really promising anomaly we discovered at the end of last year. There are above-average gold values all over the area, and I’m optimistic it could represent a big, bulk-tonnage deposit that would give us the critical mass we need.”

The 10 sq. km Airstrip target was outlined during wide-spaced soil sampling at the Bengal showing, 3.2 km south of Tiger. Bengal occurs within a broad, intermittent gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly hosted within a package of variably calcareous siltstone sediments in a lower slope to basinal stratigraphic setting. Airstrip was defined by samples that returned up to 1.03 grams gold-in-soil.

“We’re about to put in an application for a tote-road permit, and now we need to decide if we want to proceed through to feasibility. It will be a pretty short jump because we already have this engineered to

a pretty high level. We’re confident in a lot of these numbers based on our work,” Downs says.

In April, Atac closed a $3.3 million private placement wherein it sold 5 million flow-through shares priced at 65¢ each.

The proceeds are earmarked for an initial exploration program that will focus on Airstrip and the Orion discovery at the Anubis Cluster, where the company cut 47 metres of 3.79 grams gold from 15 metres deep in hole 15-026.

“In terms of our Carlin-type targets, we’re zeroed in on Orion,” Downs says. “We literally have one hole in the thing, and we need to look at near-surface targets to build that critical mass because we either need to keep raising capital to drill, which is expensive, or we need to attract a partner to go in and do the heavy lifting.”

The initial exploration program will include 30 rotary air-blast holes at Orion and additional geochemical coverage at Airstrip. Atac will also move ahead with permitting the 69 km road through to the Rau trend and Tiger.

Atac has traded in a 52-week range of 25¢ to 88¢ per share, and jumped 161%, or 48¢ over the past six months to a 77¢ close at press time. The company has 118 million

ing 1.68 grams gold for 2.8 million contained oz. gold, and 43 million inferred tonnes of 1.52 grams gold for 2.08 million contained oz. gold.

Interest in Kaminak heated up after it updated the feasibility study on the project in January, outlining a heap-leach operation on 2.2 million oz. gold-oxide reserves that carries a US$455 million, after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate and a 37% internal rate of return.

According to the new filings, the first interested bidder came forward in March to informally enquire about a transaction. These discussions reportedly continued through April, when Goldcorp delivered its initial, non-binding transaction proposal.

Kaminak management determined the proposal “was not sufficiently compelling to enter into exclusive discussions,” but said it would “work with Goldcorp to help complete its due diligence if it was prepared to consider delivering more value.”

Two weeks after Goldcorp’s first offer, a third company entered the fray and requested a site visit to Coffee to “pursue a transaction.”

Kaminak subsequently heard the first interested bidder intended to offer a proposal, while Goldcorp indicated it would deliver a “revised” offer by May. On May 6, Kaminak received the new proposal from Goldcorp and an offer from the first interested party. There was no further mention by Kaminak of the third

company.

On May 8, Kaminak and Goldcorp agreed to enter into exclusive negotiations on the basis that, among other things, the consideration would increase to $2.70 per share.

Directors, officers and shareholders of Kaminak representing 27.5% of its outstanding shares agreed to vote in favour of the arrangement, which is expected to close no later than Aug. 15. Goldcorp retains the right to match any superior offer and is entitled to a $20.3 million break fee.

The multiple-offer situation hints at the lack of attractive development projects in North America, with new Goldcorp president and CEO David Garofalo stating during marketing presentations in June that “there is a lack of opportunity, given a focus on investing in politically safe jurisdictions.”

BMO Research said in a June 8 note that Goldcorp’s message to investors was clear: “expect future acquisitions.”

Goldcorp shares have traded in a 52-week range of $13.55 to $25.35 per share, and closed at $22.81 at press time. The company has 832 million shares outstanding for a $19 billion market capitalization.

Nordgold raises bid for Northquest GOLD

| Russian major wants Pistol Bay project in eastern Nunavut

BY TRISH SAYWELL

A

tsaywell@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

fter increasing its stake in Northquest (TSXV: NQ) to 52.3% late last year, Russian gold miner Nordgold is making a move to acquire the rest of the junior and its wholly owned Pistol Bay gold project in the Canadian Arctic.

At the end of April, Nordgold offered 25.3¢ per share to acquire all of the outstanding shares that it does not already own in a deal valued at $27.3 million on an undiluted basis.

The offer represented a 10% premium based on Northquest’s closing share price on April 25.

Nordgold then raised its offer price to 26¢ per Northquest share.

The latest offer values Northquest at $28 million on an undiluted basis.

Nikolai Zelenski, the CEO of Nordgold, which made its first investment in Northquest in June 2014, said in prepared remarks that the offer “provides excellent value for shareholders. We hope they will accept our improved offer.”

Jon North, Northquest’s president and CEO, could not be reached for comment.

Northquest acquired the Pistol Bay project, on the west coast of Hudson Bay in eastern Nunavut, in 2010. Inco uncovered the property’s potential in 1985 after drilling an intercept in the Vickers zone of 149.8 metres grading 2.55 grams gold per tonne.

In 2012, Northquest twinned the Inco hole in the same stratigraphy and doubled the grade, with a

164.4-metre intercept averaging 5.39 grams gold. (The company attributed the better grade to a larger core sample and more comprehensive assay method to take into account the abundant coarse visible gold in the core samples.)

Nordgold stepped in to take majority control of Northquest in May 2015, a day after the junior released

its second batch of intercepts for the year from the Vickers zone, with highlights of 134.4 metres grading 1.36 grams gold, 39 metres grading 2.57 grams gold, 30 metres grading 2.10 grams gold, 44.5 metres grading 1.07 grams gold and 50 metres of 2.13 grams gold.

In April, Northquest completed an inferred resource estimate for

the Vickers zone based on 69 drill holes (17,200 metres between 2012 and 2015) that identified, at a cut-off grade of 1.25 grams gold, a total of 7.79 million tonnes averaging 2.95 grams gold for 739,000 contained oz. gold.

Pistol Bay is 80 km south of Agnico Eagle Mines’ (TSX: AEM: NYSE: AEM) Meliadine gold proj-

ect. The two properties are on the opposite sides of a sterile, granitic gneiss block, and Northquest’s geologists believe that the Pistol Bay trend is a mirror image of the Meliadine trend.

The Pistol Bay project is on Crown land and within 10 km of Whale Cove, which has a population of 350 people. Whale Cove has an airstrip with daily flights to Winnipeg, among other cities, and there is an all-season road linking Whale Cove to the project.

As for Moscow-headquartered Nordgold, last year the company produced 950,000 oz. gold at allin sustaining costs of US$793 per ounce.

The company operates nine gold mines: five in Russia, two in Burkina Faso and one each in Guinea and Kazakhstan.

It also has two active gold development projects — Bouly in Burkina Faso and Gross in Russia. Production could start at the Bouly mine in the third quarter of 2016, and Nordgold announced that construction had begun at its Gross mine, an open-pit heap leach project in southwestern Yakutia, next to its Neryungri mine. Nordgold says it will take US$250 million and two years to complete the project and once finished, Gross will produce 230,000 oz. gold a year over a 17year mine life. The first gold pour is expected in the first quarter of 2018.

Russian billionaire Alexey Mordashov owns just over 90% of the company’s outstanding shares.

At press time Northquest shares traded at 25.5¢, within a 52-week range of 6.5¢ to 32¢. TNM

Detour Gold revs up DETOUR From 8

After the upgrade the plant processed an average 64,462 tonnes per day between April 21 and May 31, including 13 days at above 70,000 tonnes per day. This is ahead of the LOM target of 63,000 tonnes per day for 2019.

“We think we are going to achieve that much faster. But when it’s going to be exactly, we cannot say,” chief operating officer Beaudoin says. “In the last six weeks, we have been operating at that level already.

‘Can we maintain that?’ is the big question.”

It is early, but Detour expects to provide an update with its secondquarter results.

In the short-term, if the plant outperforms the mine, Detour plans to supplement the plant with its runof-mine, medium-grade stockpile.

The stockpile sits at 134,000 oz. (6.6 million tonnes at 0.63 gram) and is not included in the LOM plan.

Meanwhile, Detour is running a 100,000-tonne test to confirm if screening the medium-grade stockpile for fines of less than 2 inches would double the average grade from 0.65 to 1.3 grams gold. Previous survey results have shown that grades improve 100%, while tonnage increases 30%.

If the results are positive, Detour could immediately process the medium-grade ore, and add 20,000 to 25,000 oz. of low-cost production a year. The results — including operating costs and productivity — are due in the third quarter.

For 2016, Detour maintains its annual guidance of 540,000 to 590,000 oz., at all-in sustaining costs of US$840 to US$940 per oz., including total cash costs of US$675 to US$750 per oz. Quarterly output should range between 125,000 and 150,000 ounces.

1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 20_JUN27_Main.indd 13

In this year’s first quarter, Detour delivered 127,136 oz., at the low-end of the quarterly guidance. The mill processed 52,165 tonnes per day, which is below the design rate due to limited power draw on one of the semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills, and processing of coarser material. The SAG mill is now back to full power following the planned shutdown in April.

Growth opportunities On the exploration front, the miner is focusing on the Lower Detour trend — more specifically the Zone 58N, which sits 7 km southwest of the pit.

“While the market does not appear to attribute material value for the exploration upside, Zone 58N in particular appears to generate interest as a potential source of high-grade [5 to 6 grams gold per tonne] feed for the mill,” Canaccord Genuity analysts Rahul Paul and Alex Pernin write in a research note.

Detour has drilled 37,000 metres of its slated 60,000-metre program this year at Zone 58N. The rest of the drilling should conclude this summer. During that time, it will also drill another 5,000 to 7,000 metres to test other targets along the 25 km Lower Detour trend and the surrounding tailings facility.

“A lot of companies are going on about organic growth. It’s obviously the cheapest bang for your buck. It’s the way to go,” Jean François Métail, Detour’s vice-president of mineral resource management, says during a presentation on site.

“We feel that for us, organic growth has a little bit more ‘oomph’ in that we have 23 years of mine life. We have 23 years to find more mineralization and bring it to our mill … a lot of companies have five to six years in a typical life-of-mine.

We’ve got a lot of time to do explora-

tion on our ground.”

Detour might also look to acquire an early stage project as part of its near-term growth strategy, Martin says, adding that he is not in a rush to “buy something.”

Asked if the mine could become an acquisition target, the executive acknowledges this risk, but says he’s “not in it to sell it.”

Instead, he aims to grow the company from an intermediate gold producer to a major producer.

“We have this engine. We have this property. Can we develop the next large gold company in Canada?

You need a cornerstone asset, and we have that,” Martin says. TNM

Aston Bay, BHP agree to take on Storm together ARCTIC COPPER

| BHP may spend US$40 million over nine years on Somerset Island

Aston Bay Holdings’ Storm copper property in Nunavut, which has attracted BHP Billiton as a partner. ASTON BAY HOLDINGS

BY TRISH SAYWELL

A

tsaywell@northernminer.com

fter a year of talks and hundreds of hours of due diligence, BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) has signed an option agreement to earn a 75% stake in Aston Bay Holdings’ (TSXV: BAY) Congolese-style, sediment-hosted copper deposit in Nunavut, potentially spending US$40 million on exploration over nine years.

“BHP shows an extraordinary level of technical due diligence and we’re ecstatic to have them as a partner,” Aston Bay’s president and CEO Benjamin Cox says. “It’s like being invited to sing a duet with Adele — it’s glorious — but most singers would never get the chance.

“BHP only does exceptional projects — that’s all they do,” he continues in a telephone interview from London. “They go bigger or they go home.”

The Storm copper project on Nunavut’s Somerset Island covers a more than 100 km strike length of mineralized showings within stratigraphy that favours sedimenthosted copper mineralization.

Historic drilling focused on mineralized outcrops and included intercepts of 100 metres of 2.5% copper and 56 metres of 3.1% copper at the 2750N zone, and 49 metres of 1.8% copper at the 2200N zone.

“It was an old Cominco project where they focused on surface expressions — they concentrated on relatively shallow drilling,” Cox says, noting that Cominco, now Teck Resources, worked on the project between 1996 and 2001. “We’re looking at a deeper layer than what had been drilled previously.”

The option agreement with BHP is not the junior’s first with a major.

It had previously partnered with Chilean copper miner Antofagasta (US-OTC: ANFGY), announcing

“IT’S LIKE BEING INVITED TO SING A DUET WITH ADELE — IT’S GLORIOUS — BUT MOST SINGERS WOULD NEVER GET THE CHANCE.” BENJAMIN COX PRESIDENT AND CEO, ASTON BAY HOLDINGS

an earn-in agreement in December 2014. But the base metal group pulled out just six weeks later, in January 2015.

“The week they pulled out, the price of copper went down 20% and they lost their nerve on a lot of projects,” Cox says. “Sometimes, timing is just not pleasant.”

But the experience had a silver lining, as Antofagasta’s chief geologist

for North America, Thomas Ullrich, eventually jumped ship, joining Aston Bay earlier this year as the junior’s executive vice-president of exploration and chief operating officer.

“He spent five years at Antofagasta and looked at 120 projects, and this was the best one he found,” Cox says, adding that Ullrich “lives for discovery.”

Before joining Antofagasta in 2011, Ullrich was senior geologist for Almaden Minerals (TSX: AMM; NYSE-MKT: AAU), where he managed the drill program for the team’s discovery of the Ixtaca silver-gold deposit in Mexico.

Cox points out that as far as he can tell, BHP’s earn-in with Aston is unusual, as the mining giant prefers not to invest in publicly listed juniors. “We did a lot of due diligence on BHP and their base metal projects, and we could only find three or four projects dating back to the late 1990s that they invested in through public companies,” Cox says. “It’s a pretty rare occurrence … and speaks to the utility of our asset. I think they like the asset enough to put up with us, that is, a small junior.”

The last time this happened on a base metals project was with Anglo Potash. BHP signed a joint-venture deal with the Calgary-based junior, which had nearly 7,200 sq. km of potash permits in Saskatchewan, including a resource at Jansen Lake, 30 km from Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan’s (TSX: POT; NYSE: POT) Lanigan mine. BHP went on to acquire Anglo Potash in May 2008.

Cox says Aston Bay will benefit hugely from BHP’s technical team, which he believes is second to none. “The level of technical brains BHP has is extraordinary,” he says. “They put a lot of thinking into their projects.”

As for copper, Cox says its supply and demand fundamentals outshine every other metal. The 38-year-old mining executive, who has an MBA and an undergraduate degree in economics and medieval history, with a minor in business, previously worked in the front office at hedge fund D.E. Shaw, where he specialized in the red metal. “I ran a team of six people and we determined that copper was the only thing that really excited us, so when I left Shaw in 2010, the only natural thing to do was look for copper deposits,” he says.

“Fundamentally, copper is irreplaceable — modern society cannot exist without it, and it’s the only commodity that we’re running out of. If you want to double the global supply of iron ore you can do it, but there’s not enough copper in resources within major mining company portfolios to even increase the supply 10%.” TNM
