Fission study shaves capex, build time for PLS SASKATCHEWAN

| Underground-only plan simplifies uranium deposit’s development

BY JEAN LIAN

jlian@northernminer.com

ission Uranium (TSX: FCU; US-OTC: FCUUF) has released an updated prefeasibility study (PFS) for an underground-only mine at its wholly owned Patterson Lake South (PLS) uranium project in northwestern Saskatchewan. The updated PFS follows an earlier study of an openpit and underground operation released in April.

The PFS tables a 1,000-tonneper-day underground mine that will process 2.3 million tonnes grading 1.61% uranium oxide (U3O 8) for 81.4 million lb. U3O 8 over its seven-year mine life at average unit-operating costs of US$7.18 per lb. U3O8 .

It forecasts a $702-million, aftertax net present value (NPV) at an 8% discount rate, and a 25% after-tax internal rate of return (IRR). This is an improvement over the hybrid study, which tabled a $693-million, after-tax NPV at an 8% discount rate, and a 21% after-tax IRR. The change from an open-pit and underground mine to an underground-only operation is also expected to yield a 21% reduction in initial capex from $1.5 billion to $1.18 billion, and shaves the construction time line from four to three years. The payback period is 2.5 years.

The lower capex and shorter construction time is attributed to simplified water-control measures, the company says. The revised mining method eliminates the need for a system of dikes and slurry walls, dewatering and overburden removal, which will lower total mine-related earth movement 90% to 5.4 million tonnes — down from 51.2 million tonnes in the previous PFS, along with a 58% reduction in disturbed area.

The company’s 310 sq. km PLS

project, 550 km northwest of the city of Prince Albert and 150 km north of the community of La Loche, is home to the world’s richest uranium mines.

Ross McElroy, Fission’s president and chief operating officer, says the company had initially looked at mining the shallow deposit as an open pit. “Normally when the deposit is 50 metres below the surface, an open pit is your preferred method to get to it. And it showed a very viable and attractive scenario,” McElroy says.

But the open-pit mining option would involve a high-capital requirement of building a berm wall around the deposit, as two of the five mineralized zones — the R780E and R1620E zones that make up the eastern region of the Triple R deposit — are located beneath Patterson Lake, where the water depth is generally less than 6 metres and overburden thickness is 50 metres.

“Because you have a lake sitting there, the Patterson Lake itself, you would have had to build a berm wall around the deposit, which is certainly technically viable, and it has been done many times on several deposits in northern Canada,” McElroy says. “But it is expensive.”

As a result, the company looked at the alternative of mining the deposit through an underground mine while it was completing the PFS on the open pit.

“We would save a significant amount of capital of at least $300 million, or more,” McElroy says of the underground-only option.

“You are still looking at just over $9 per lb. U3O8 of operating costs, almost on par with an open pit ...

I’m 95% confident that the underground-only option is the way to go forward.”

Implats offers $1B for North American Palladium M&A

| Shareholder Brookfield enters agreement to sell its 81% stake

BY STEVE STAKIW

Special to The Northern Miner

yeing its first major operations investment outside of Africa, platinum group metals (PGM) producer Impala Platinum Holdings has struck a friendly deal to buy Canadian pure-play palladium producer North American Palladium (TSX: PDL; US-OTC: PALDF) in an all-cash transaction valued at $1 billion.

The proposed takeover gives Implats the Lac des Îles palladium mine, located 100 km northwest of Thunder Bay, Ont., its first PGM operation outside of South Africa and Zimbabwe.

The definitive arrangement agreement sees Implats acquire all of North American Palladium’s shares under a two-tiered pricing structure.

Brookfield Business Partners (TSX: BBU.UN) — North American Palladium’s controlling shareholder, with an 81% interest — will sell its shares to Implats for $16 apiece, at a 19% discount to the trading price before

the announcement. The remaining minority shareholders reap a better price, getting $19.74 per share, a 15% premium on North American Palladium’s 30-day, volume-weighted average price and the exact closing price of the stock before the takeover news.

In a conference call, North American Palladium president and CEO Jim Gallagher discussed the company’s turnaround and the merits of the Implats agreement. “We have a sale of the company in an all-cash deal at near-record palladium prices, and except for a two-day blip in March of this year, at near recordhigh share prices for the company,” he said. “From virtual bankruptcy four years ago, we now have a sale to the tune of $1 billion. The company has been described recently by two separate analysts that cover us as the best free-cash-flow operation in their coverage universe.”

Gallagher noted that Brookfield first got involved with the company in 2013, when North American Palladium was “in financial trouble,

with a mine expansion that had gone somewhat poorly.

“In May of that year, the company had tapped out all its financial resources, had tapped out the equity See NA PALLADIUM / 2 PM40069240

Inaugural golf tournament raises funds for YMP scholarships EDUCATION

| Event raised $11,000

BY JEAN LIAN jlian@northernminer.com

M

ining CEOs teamed up with young mining professionals in groups of four to raise money for university scholarships at the inaugural Young Mining Professionals golf tournament in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

The golf tournament on Sept. 23 at the Summit Golf and Country Club raised $11,000 for the YMP Scholarship Fund, a registered charity that donates 100% of its receipts to students.

Seven CEOs took part in the tournament: David Harquail, CEO of Franco-Nevada (TSX: FNV; NYSE: FNV); Stephen Letwin, president and CEO of Iamgold (TSX: IMG; NYSE: IAG); Sean Boyd, vice-chair and CEO of Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM); Aaron Regent, CEO and chairman of Niobic; Donald Charter, chairman of Iamgold’s board of directors; John Burzynski, president and CEO of Osisko Mining (TSX: OSK); and Shaun Usmar, founder of Triple Flag Mining Finance.

YMP’s 10 scholarships this year range from $1,000 to $10,000 and are funded by Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: GOLD), Agnico Eagle Mines, Iamgold, Yamana Gold (TSX: YRI; NYSE: AUY), Anaconda Mining (TSX: ANX), Orefinders Resources (TSXV: ORX) and The Northern Miner.

This year $44,000 will be awarded to students who are pursuing a career in the mining industry and are enrolled in mining-related programs for the 2019–2020 academic year at Canadian universities. Wellqualified, post-secondary students

in mining-related college programs are also considered.

“As far as I am aware, it is the largest mining-focused scholarship in Canada,” says Stephen Stewart, chairman of YMP and the YMP Scholarship Fund, and CEO of Orefinders.

The YMP Scholarship Fund was set up in 2018 and handed out three scholarships with a total value of $12,000. The scholarship fund is available only in the Toronto chapter, which Stewart cofounded along with Michael Woeller and Michael Long of KPMG in 2015.

Stewart expects the YMP Scholarship fund will continue to grow.

“We are committed to giving

back and promoting the industry through the development and education of young people here in Canada,” he says.

Tony Moreau, business development and innovation manager at Iamgold, and one of the directors of YMP’s Toronto chapter, says the scholarships are all about supporting the industry and enriching its talent pool.

“One of the problems with mining is that if you are not from Sudbury or some of those mining towns, you tend not to know about it,” he says. “We wanted to use the scholarships as a way to give back to youth, but also as a way to find talented people in the industry.” TNM

market and was on the brink of insolvency,” Gallagher noted. “Brookfield Asset Management stepped in at that point in time and made an initial investment of US$130 million as a loan-debt facility.”

Despite making operational improvements, however, by mid-2015 — with palladium prices weakening, and North American Palladium posting a string of financials losses over multiple preceding quarters — the company tripped some financial covenants and was forced to recapitalize its loan agreement with Brookfield that saw the lender convert its debt into equity, and become a 91% shareholder.

Gallagher, who was promoted from chief operating officer to CEO around the time Brookfield became the company’s top shareholder, touched on the private equity group’s vision. “The mandate from Brookfield was simple: fix the asset,” he said. “I remember standing in front of the mine site team making the announcement of Brookfield’s ownership position at 91%, and the message was clear then: they would support management, they would support the turnaround, and when that was complete, they would look at selling their position either through a full sale or a sale back into the market so that they could redeploy that capital into their business. That day has come today.”

The company says it started looking for a suitor in 2018, with a major Canadian bank targeting potential parties on a global basis for expressions of interest. However, despite receiving several expressions of interest, including indicative (nonbinding) offers, none were deemed satisfactory.

“Discussions with Impala began in earnest in July of this year, and obviously at that time there was a very different share price — under $14,” Gallagher said. “With a near 50% appreciation through the course of the discussions on the deal, of course, as you might imagine, this added some dynamics to the negotiation process. An agreement was reached at a certain price in the $16 range and then the share price continued to move forward. And ultimately both Impala Platinum and Brookfield wanted to ensure that the minority shareholders received their full value, and that resulted in arriving at a split price.”

North American Palladium’s initial business dealings with Implats date back to 2017 through a joint venture on the major’s partly owned Sunday Lake PGM project, 60 km south of the Lac des Îles mine. In August of this year, North American Palladium completed its stage-one option terms, vesting a 51% interest in the project by spending $1.5 million on exploration and making payments of $750,000.

“Of all the parties that took a look at us over the last few years, this is

definitely the best financial deal that was put on the table, but also likely the best home for the mine and for the team,” Gallagher told analysts and investors on the conference call.

With the boards of both North American Palladium and Implats approving the deal, and major shareholder Brookfield entering an agreement to sell its 81% stake, it looks ready to go. However, there is a 30-day, modified go-shop period where North American Palladium can review other offers. If a better offer is accepted during the 30-day window, a $24.5-million termination fee is payable to Implats. Beyond the 30 days, the break fee rises to $37.7 million. Implats also has the right to match any superior proposal within five business days.

Both companies aim to close the deal by year-end, subject to standard government and regulatory approvals. The transaction also requires two-thirds of North American Palladium shareholders’ approval at a special meeting. But with Brookfield owning 81%, the vote looks like a formality.

North American Palladium’s Lac des Îles mine has operated since 1993, and is forecast to produce 220,000 to 235,000 payable oz. palladium in 2019. The company is in the process of an operational expansion program to ramp up its 6,000-tonne-per-day underground production rate towards 12,000 tonnes per day by 2021.

Some analysts were critical of the deal’s valuation. GMP Securities mining analyst David Stewart called the impact negative in his note, and points out that the deal values North American Palladium at just 0.58-times spot net asset value (NAV) in his model and based on the cash offer to common shareholders, and at 0.49-times spot NAV based on the average cash offer to all shareholders. Stewart also notes that North American Palladium has been ramping-up underground output and was looking forward to seeing shareholders benefit from resource and reserve conversions after this year’s exploration programs.

Derek Macpherson, vice-president of research at Red Cloud Securities, described the impact as positive, but also thinks the deal “represents a significant discount to our prior fair value estimate of $28 per share, suggesting there is still room for a higher bid.” However, he does concede that the probability of a higher bid for the minority shareholder’s position is unlikely.

Implats is one of the world’s largest PGM producers, with operations focused around the Bushveld Complex in South Africa and the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe. In 2018, the company produced 1.47 million oz. platinum and 849,300 oz. palladium.

After the takeover announcement, North American Palladium’s shares closed up a cent at $19.75, giving the company a market capitalization of just over $1 billion. TNM

OceanaGold expands exploration target at Martha in New Zealand NEW ZEALAND

BY TRISH SAYWELL

S

tsaywell@northernminer.com

ince picking up the Waihi property in New Zealand from Newmont for US$100 million four years ago, OceanaGold (TSX: OGC) has extended the mine life of its Correnso underground gold mine by three years — generating US$200 million of free cash flow.

It has also fully permitted an underground mine 1 to 2 km away, which it hopes to put into production by 2021. The underground mine sits below a past-producing, open-pit mine called Martha, which was closed in 2015 due to a pit wall failure.

OceanaGold started chasing veins below the 200-metre pit bottom in 2017, and since then has defined gold mineralization to a depth of 550 metres, where it remains open.

“We have been drilling there pretty extensively for about two and a half years and have been getting some pretty good widths, and very high grade,” Sam Pazuki, the company’s head of investor relations, says in an interview. “These veins we’re drilling are larger than we expected, so it’s quite exciting stuff.”

Some of the major veins in the pit — Martha, Empire and Royal — have been mined for 30 years, but extend at depth. “We thought there might be a point where they started pinching, but as we have gone deeper, we find that these veins are still continuing at depth and are getting wider, as well.”

Because it’s a low-sulphidation epithermal system, “the geology is favourable for additional discoveries,” Pazuki adds, and OceanaGold’s geologists are finding more veins.

“The other veins we’re hitting are smaller — they’re not as wide — but they are high grade, as well, so we’re making new discoveries.”

OceanaGold found the Rex vein a year and a half ago, and the Dreadnought vein 10 months ago.

Recent drill results include 38 metres grading 8.1 grams gold per tonne and 10.1 grams silver per tonne on the Edward–Martha veins; 12 metres of 13.7 grams gold and 32.9 grams silver on the Empire vein; 4 metres of 31.7 grams gold and 100.7 grams silver on the Rex vein; and 5 metres of 19.2 grams gold on the Dreadnought vein.

“When we first started drilling Martha underground we didn’t have any ounces on the books, but we had historic data because a lot of the area had been mined in the 1880s,” Pazuki says. “We even opened up some old stopes and found they were backfilled with 5- to 10-gram material, which back then was considered low grade.”

In March, OceanaGold updated its August 2018 resource estimate.

The new estimate shows that indicated resources have grown 136% to 331,000 contained oz. gold within 2.13 million tonnes grading 4.84 grams gold per tonne, while inferred resources have risen 97% to 667,000 contained oz. gold, within 4.52 million tonnes grading 4.59 grams gold per tonne.

Last month Oceanagold increased its exploration target from its previous 5 million to 8 million tonnes grading between 4 and 6 grams gold per tonne to 8 million to 10 million tonnes at the same grade. The new exploration target is based on the company’s assessment of surface and underground drill data it has collected, as well as historic and archived geological and mine data.

| Fully permitted project could start production as early as 2021

The company plans to drill test its revised exploration target during 2020 and 2021, and identify and define mineralization along sections of the Martha, Royal, Empire, Edward and Rex veins, and associated structures.

So far it has drilled 77,500 metres, or 60% of its planned drill program at Martha, and is running seven underground rigs and two surface rigs. The underground rigs are drilling along two exploration drives that are 120 metres apart, and the company plans to provide resource updates over the next 12 months.

It is also starting work on a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) that will look at the Martha underground project and the nearby WKP prospect. In February the company issued a resource estimate on WKP of 0.41 million tonnes grading 18 grams gold per tonne and 22.7 grams per tonne silver for 234,000 contained oz. gold and 296,000 oz. silver on the East Graben vein. Inferred resources on the East Graben and T-Stream veins add 1.05 million tonnes averaging 11.9 grams gold and 16.8 grams silver for 401,000 oz. gold and 568,000 oz. silver.

Pazuki notes that analysts value Waihi at US$150 million, but assign “virtually zero value” to WKP. “They’re giving us little value, because it’s early days,” he says.

“They’re taking a very conservative approach ... but that represents the opportunity for investors.”

The company’s flagship asset is its Didipio mine in the Philippines.

The mine has been shut down while the company awaits renewal of its mining lease. In the meantime, there is US$50 million of concentrate stockpiled at the site.

Pazuki says OceanaGold is confident the mining licence will be renewed and that the process “is going in the right direction — we’re getting positive support from different levels of government, from the regulator, and very strong support from the local community.”

Over the last year, OceanaGold’s shares have traded in a range of $2.85 to $5.01 per share, and at press time were at $3.54 apiece. The company has 622 million common shares outstanding for a $2.2-billion market capitalization.

Daniel Morgan of UBS in Australia upgraded OceanaGold to a “buy” rating on Sept. 19. “The share price has declined about 23% in 2019, year-to-date, underperforming the gold price, which has rallied 16% year-to-date, and the S&P/ASX 200 Gold Index, which has rallied 40%,” the mining analyst says in a research note.

“This is due ... to the regulatory issues at Didipio, and to a lesser extent, production issues at Haile

“WHEN WE FIRST STARTED DRILLING MARTHA UNDERGROUND WE DIDN’T HAVE ANY OUNCES ON THE BOOKS, BUT WE HAD HISTORIC DATA BECAUSE A LOT OF THE AREA HAD BEEN MINED IN THE 1880S. WE EVEN OPENED UP SOME OLD STOPES AND FOUND THEY WERE BACKFILLED WITH 5- TO 10-GRAM MATERIAL, WHICH BACK THEN WAS CONSIDERED LOW GRADE.” SAM PAZUKI HEAD OF INVESTOR RELATIONS, OCEANAGOLD

... We assess that the share price does not include value for Didipio, so resolution would be a materially positive catalyst. Sequential production and cost improvement over the coming quarters at Haile should also, in our view, be positive catalysts.”

The first two months of the year at its Haile mine in South Carolina, U.S., were challenging, with low production, productivity and high costs. For much of the first quarter, the mine remained saturated after

heavy rainfall in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the start of 2019. Access to higher grades was restricted and pre-stripping the saprolitic clay material was challenging. But the operation improved in the second quarter, and, despite accelerated pre-stripping operations, quarteron-quarter production increased

45%, unit cash costs decreased 39% and all-in sustaining costs decreased 23%.

The company reported consolidated production for the first half of the year from Haile, Waihi, Didipio and its Macraes operation in New Zealand of 254,972 oz. gold and 7,871 tonnes copper. TNM

ess than a week after the Jan. 25 tailings dam collapse at Vale’s Feijao iron ore mine in Brazil that killed 251 people and left 19 missing, the Church of England Pensions Board, along with Sweden’s Public Pension Funds Council, Dutch funds APG and Robeco, New Zealand Super, the U.K.’s LGPS Central and Canada’s BMO Global

BY TRISH SAYWELL tsaywell@northernminer.com Asset Management — together representing over US$1.3 trillion in assets — jointly called for a global independent public classification system that would monitor the safety risk of tailings dams.

The Church of England Pensions Board estimates there are 18,000 tailings storage facilities (TSFs) worldwide, 3,500 of which are active, but says there is no consolidated public register of them. “Without a global register, the precise scale of the risks are not clear, nor is it clear which company has responsibility for which facilities,” it says.

“This proposal will drive a new level of accountability and transparency within the mining sector,” Adam Matthews, director of Ethics and Engagement for the Church of England Pensions Board, stated on Jan. 31. “Simply put, these failures of tailings dams should not be happening. These are not black-swan events.”

Within a month, the number of investors and investment funds that had joined the Investor Mining & Tailings Safety Initiative had grown to over US$6.5 trillion in assets under management. By mid-April, the number had soared to more than US$12 trillion in assets under management from over 100 investors.

The Church of England Pensions Board alone manages funds in excess of US$2.8 billion, and receives advice from the Church’s Ethical Investment Advisory Group on all issues relating to the ethics of investment. It says it engages “directly with companies about aspects of their business activities that concern us.”

Since April 5, the Investor Mining & Tailings Safety Initiative, which is governed by a steering committee chaired by the Church of England Pensions Board and the Council on Ethics of the Swedish AP Funds, has sent letters to the board chairs and CEOs of 726 publicly listed companies in the extractive sector, including oil and gas firms, requesting they disclose information about their TSFs. The disclosure is supposed to include all tailings facilities in which a company has any interest, through subsidiaries, partnerships or joint ventures, even if the corporation itself is not the operator. The letter also recommended that the companies should accompany their disclosures with “plans to communicate directly with communities that may be affected by the company’s TSF footprint.” The companies were given a June 7 deadline to respond to the letter and post the disclosure on their websites.

The Church of England Pensions Board recently published a progress report, and the results seem mixed at best. As of Oct. 1, more than half, or 418 of the 726 companies (58%), had not responded to the request.

Of the 308 companies (42%) that did respond, 178 (25%) confirmed they did not have TSFs, and 92 said they did. Another 38 companies did not say whether they had TSFs or not, but requested more time to complete their disclosure.

Breaking down the numbers for the mining sector alone, 37 of the top-50 largest mining companies responded and made disclosures, which the Church of England Pensions Board stated “has resulted in information about thousands of tailings dams/facilities being made public on company websites.” Overall, 69% of the mining industry by market capitalization responded, including all of the 22 publicly listed members of the London-based International Council on Mining and Metals, which brings together 26 mining and metals companies, and 35 regional and commodities associations.

While these efforts by the Investor Mining & Tailings Safety Initiative underscore the growing importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria for fund managers, particularly in Europe, it’s time for the rest of the world to catch up and get on board.

Increasingly, large institutional investors and even smaller funds have ESG-dedicated analysts within their firms, or hire independent third parties to analyze how the companies in which they invest meet their broader sustainability goals. Companies that ignore this trend do so at their own peril.

On Oct. 1, yet another tailings dam failure occurred in Brazil — this time at a mine in Mato Grosso. Reuters reported that the breach injured two people and left a 2 km “trail of mining waste.” The news agency said the dam was “registered under the name of an individual wildcat miner rather than in the name of a mining company.”

This latest failure and the tragic events at Vale’s Feijao mine earlier this year follow the deadly tailings spill, also in Brazil, at Vale and BHP Billiton’s Samarco iron ore mine in November 2015 that killed 19 people.

Market sentiment sweetening for silver, report says METALS COMMENTARY

| Macroeconomic conditions could propel metal higher

The following is an edited excerpt from the “Global Silver Investment” report prepared by Metals Focus for The Silver Institute. Visit www.silverinstitute.org for complimentary access to the full report.

nvestor sentiment has strengthened for silver (as well as the wider precious metals complex), in contrast with recent years’ activity, when many institutional investors had been skeptical towards the metal. This ref lects silver’s underperformance to gold over a near-uninterrupted, eight-year period (the gold-to-silver ratio rose from 30.5 in April 2011 to a multi-decade high of 93.5 in July 2019). Investors also saw prices surpass US$50, and the rapid retreat when so many were caught out. That such dramatic events are possible reflects the modest size of global silver investment, where relatively small inflows or liquidations can disproportionately affect the market, leading to heightened price volatility, such as that seen less than a decade ago. Another challenge facing potential silver investors is the market’s depth of liquidity, including the availability of counterparts, to execute significant trades.

A comparison between the size of silver and gold investment across asset classes brings this into focus.

Looking first at investor exposure on Comex, as of the end of July, the value of net long-managed money positions in silver stood at US$5.2 billion (equivalent to 312.8 million oz., or 9,729 tonnes) compared with US$26.6 billion for gold (18.6 million oz., or 578 tonnes), some five times higher. Hypothetically (and assuming all else remains equal), a relatively modest 5% rotation out of gold in favour of silver would see positioning in the latter rise a dramatic 25%. While such

THE MODEST SIZE OF GLOBAL SILVER INVESTMENT MEANS THAT RELATIVELY SMALL INFLOWS OR LIQUIDATIONS CAN HAVE A DISPROPORTIONATE AFFECT ON THE MARKET. a move would see the gold price weaken, it could have a massive impact on silver.

When it comes to exchangetraded products and retail investment, the difference between gold and silver investment demand is more pronounced. For the former, total silver holdings at the end of July amounted to US$11.5 billion (706.2 million oz., or 21,964 tonnes) against US$109 billion (77.2 million oz., or 2,400 tonnes) for gold — nine times greater in value. However, this pales against the difference for silver and gold physical investment, with the latter 17 times greater than for silver. The value of global silver coin and bar demand in 2018 stood at US$2.6 billion (165.7 million oz., or 5,155 tonnes), compared with US$44 billion (34.7 million oz., or 1,080 tonnes) for gold.

Given that the macroeconomic environment is becoming more supportive of higher gold prices, the modest value of investor exposure towards silver suggests there is room for growth. That said, each area of silver investment may respond in different ways, which is further explored in Metals Focus’ Global Silver Investment report prepared for The Silver Institute.

Four industry pioneers named to Canadian Mining Hall of Fame HONOURS In 2020, the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame will welcome four new inductees: P. Jerry Asp, Alex G. Balogh, Hans T.F. Lundberg and Eberhard (Ebe) Scherkus. The thirty-second annual induction dinner will take place on the evening of Jan. 9, 2020, in Constitution Hall at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

The Northern Miner is a cofounding sponsor of the Hall of Fame, along with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, the Mining Association of Canada and the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC). For more information and for tickets to the event, visit www.mininghalloffame.ca/annual-ceremony.

P. Jerry Asp

P. Jerry Asp (b. 1948) P. Jerry Asp is one of Western Canada’s most prominent Indigenous leaders and a tireless advocate for the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in the mining industry. His leadership skills came to the fore in the 1980s, during a mineral exploration and mining boom in the “Golden Triangle” of northwestern British Columbia. As a chief and member of the Tahltan Nation, he understood his community’s concerns about development taking place on their traditional lands. Yet having worked in the mining industry since 1965, he also recognized the potential for employment and business opportunities, and to build skills and capacity in the community. In 1985, Asp founded the Tahltan Nation Development Corp. (TNDC) as GM and became president in 1987. His goal was to negotiate partnerships between TNDC and mining companies, starting with the Golden Bear mine, which required a 1.6 km access road across Tahltan territory. The concept was new at the time, but Asp negotiated the first impact benefit agreement in the province’s history, which included road construction and other contracts at Golden Bear.

TNDC went on to sign contracts at other mines, such as Eskay Creek and Red Chris, and became the largest native-owned and operated heavy construction company in Western Canada. The unemployment rate fell to almost zero in the 1990s and has remained low, as TNDC diversified to other sectors, such as road maintenance, hydroelectric power lines and “green energy” projects.

In recent years, Asp has focused on building bridges of understanding between the mining sector and Indigenous Peoples, and challenging misconceptions that hinder the reconciliation process. He is proud of the Tahltan’s history of mining and trading obsidian along the West Coast, and notes that his grandfather was a placer gold prospector. Asp is

an advocate of skills training and apprenticeship programs, a legacy of his early years as an underground miner and driller, captain of a mine rescue team and president of the only all-native United Steelworkers’ local in North America. It was a natural progression for him to work with government and industry to create training and economic development opportunities for Indigenous Peoples in Canada and around the world. He was instrumental in developing the Aboriginal Toolkit for Mining, which won an award from the UN as the best educational document of its kind in 2007.

Asp was a founding member of what became the Canadian Aboriginal Minerals Association and served as its vice-president from 1991 to 2013. In 2014, he cofounded the Global Indigenous Development Trust to help educate and build alliances between Indigenous communities and mining companies around the world. Through this program, he has shared Canadian best practices for building partnerships between industry and Indigenous Peoples, with hundreds of Indigenous communities across 15 countries and five continents.

Asp has received many awards for his trailblazing role in helping to build inclusive relationships between the mining industry and Indigenous Peoples. In 2011, he was the recipient of PDAC’s prestigious Skookum Jim Award for his exceptional achievements. He was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2013, followed by the Frank Woodside Past Presidents Distinguished Service Award by AME BC in 2015. In 2017, he received the Indspire Award in Business and Commerce, the highest honour the Indigenous community bestows on its own achievers.

Alex G. Balogh

Alex G. Balogh (b. 1932) During an illustrious career spanning 50 years, Alex Balogh earned his place in a select group of industry leaders who shaped and built Noranda and Falconbridge into the most successful mining and metallurgical giants in Canadian history. He has the rare distinction of contributing to the growth of both companies, starting with Noranda, which he joined at Gaspé Copper in 1954 after earning a degree in metallurgical engineering from McGill University in his home city of Montreal, Quebec. An early achievement while a shift foreman was the development while working with others of the now-famous “Gaspé puncher” that improved the operating efficiency and working conditions of copper converters.

Heath & Sherwood subsequently licensed this machine worldwide.

Another first as a civic activity and initially as a hobby was the founding with R. Ford of bilingual newspaper the Gaspe Peninsula Voyageur, which served the Gaspé region for

over 15 years.

Balogh’s greatest contribution to the mining industry and to society was in the 1970s, with the introduction of Noranda’s continuous smelting and converting process at the Horne smelter in Quebec.

This pioneering process improved energy and environmental efficiency, eliminated the emission of sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere — mitigating the “acid rain” issue — and ensured the longevity of the Horne smelter, which could treat a variety of feed materials as other smelters closed.

Balogh brought the same focus on responsible growth as he transitioned to executive positions at Noranda. He oversaw Noranda’s investment in Falconbridge in 1989, and served as president and CEO of both companies in the 1990s.

He developed several major mines during this period — notably the Raglan nickel project in Quebec’s Ungava region. The main challenge facing the stalled project was the remote location and short window to move concentrates to an existing smelter. Balogh supported tests by a new ice-breaking vessel, which solved the shipping problem. The mine began in 1997. He encouraged innovative technology to maximize the value of the giant Collahuasi copper mine in Chile, and the Antamina copper-zinc mine in Peru.

Balogh was president and CEO of Falconbridge from 1989 to 1991, and chairman from 1994 to 2003. He was a senior executive at Noranda Mines from 1976 to 1988, president and CEO of Noranda Minerals from 1991 to 1994, and deputy chairman of Noranda Inc. from 1994 to 2003.

During that time, Noranda enjoyed remarkable growth and had more than 30,000 employees worldwide by 1996, with total assets of almost $15 billion. The 2005 merger of Noranda and Falconbridge set the stage for

one of the world’s largest mining and metallurgical conglomerates. While a wave of industry consolidation saw the merged entity acquired by a multinational miner a year later, the legacies of its builders and leaders live on and continue to benefit all Canadians.

After retirement Balogh served the mining sector as a consultant, corporate director, mentor of young geoscientists, and strong supporter of industry associations and causes.

In 2002, he received the CIM Vale Medal for Meritorious Contributions to Mining “in recognition of his many contributions as a metallurgical engineer, operations manager, and executive in the development of technologies, which resulted in low-cost, environmentally sound operations for producing copper, zinc and nickel.”

Integra completes ‘exceptional’ PEA on DeLamar IDAHO

BY TRISH SAYWELL

tsaywell@northernminer.com

preliminary economic assessment (PEA) of Integra Resources’ (TSXV: ITR; USOTC: IRRZF) DeLamar project in southwestern Idaho envisions a 10year mining operation producing an average of 124,000 equivalent oz. gold per year.

The junior completed the study in just two years after acquiring the project from Kinross Gold (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) in 2017. At the time of the sale, the project lacked a resource estimate. Today the project’s measured and indicated resources stand at 3.9 million equivalent oz. gold, with another 500,000 equivalent oz. gold inferred.

The early-stage study outlines an open-pit, heap-leach operation with a 27,000-tonne-per-day heap leach facility complemented by a 2,000-tonne-per-day mill that would generate after-tax free cash f low of US$61 million annually, based on all-in sustaining costs of US$619 per oz. net of silver byproducts, or US$742 per oz. on a gold-equivalent, coproduct basis.

Preproduction capex of US$161 million could be paid back in just under two and a half years, according to the study, which used gold and silver prices of US$1,350 and US$16.90 per ounce. At a 5% discount rate, the project’s after-tax net present value comes to US$358 million and its internal rate of return, 43%.

“The economics of DeLamar are truly exceptional,” George Salamis, the company’s president and CEO, says in an interview. “It’s pretty clear to us that we’re looking at an asset that is a company builder — whether it’s a company builder for us, Integra or someone else — there’s a mine to be built here, obviously subject to doing feasibility and permitting work. There aren’t too many assets of this quality left, certainly not in the western United States. Deposits that are this large, this scaleable, with this

| Two past-producing mines ready for modern exploration

much upside potential in a tierone jurisdiction and with all this accessible infrastructure — there just aren’t many around.”

The DeLamar project, 160 km from Boise, consists of two pastproducing mines — DeLamar and Florida Mountain — which shut down in 1998 due to low precious metal prices, after producing 1.6 million oz. gold and 100 million oz. silver. “Those assets were shut down not because of exhausted resources in the ground, but purely because there were no margins to be made at sub-US$300 gold,” Salamis says.

“It was nuclear winter back then, and the world saw many mines shutting down.”

Ninety percent of the PEA was based on the project’s measured and indicated resources of 172.37 million tonnes grading 0.43 gram gold per tonne and 21 grams silver per tonne for 2.38 million contained oz. gold and 116.51 million oz. silver. Inferred resources stand at 28.27 million tonnes grading 0.38 gram gold and 13.5 grams silver for 343,000 contained oz. gold and 12.24 million oz. silver.

“This study is simply a starting point for us,” Salamis says. “This is Integra’s first PEA at DeLamar, and the fundamental numbers are excellent — the returns look great — but we really think we can add to the resources used in the model. A large portion of the DeLamar unoxidized resource was excluded from this study, and there remain substantial undrilled areas with strong upside potential for additional oxide and transitional gold-silver mineralization along the margins of the current DeLamar and Florida Mountain resources.

It’s a foregone conclusion that we will be looking to include more ounces — be they heap leached or milled ounces — into future studies.

We believe the option of a larger production profile at DeLamar is possible, and something we will aim to showcase in coming studies.”

Work will begin on a prefeasibility study in the next few months.

“DEPOSITS THAT ARE THIS LARGE, THIS SCALEABLE, WITH THIS MUCH UPSIDE POTENTIAL IN A TIER-ONE JURISDICTION AND WITH ALL THIS ACCESSIBLE INFRASTRUCTURE — THERE JUST AREN’T MANY AROUND.” GEORGE SALAMIS PRESIDENT AND CEO, INTEGRA RESOURCES

Integra plans to drill between 15,000 and 20,000 metres this year, and into the first two months of 2020. The company has two drill rigs on-site, one doing metallurgical sampling work for future studies and the second, exploration work.

It has outlined a series of highpriority, gold-silver step-out targets designed to expand the large oxide and transitional gold-silver resource base next to the current resource limits. These targets also host geochemical anomalies, positive geophysical signatures and indicate historic underground mining in the late 1800s, which have never been explored with modern drilling.

“We’re stepping out from the edges of the Florida Mountain deposit, and looking to add to that oxide and transitional resource because we think it’s the easiest, lowest-hanging fruit,” Salamis says.

“The current PEA has demonstrated there is a lot of heap-leach potential at the project — the lowest-cost form of mining and processing there is. So, in our view, one of the best ways to keep adding value is to find more oxide and transitional mineralization at both DeLamar and Florida Mountain. On the margins and on strike of these deposits, exploration drilling has been virtually nonexistent, and the geophysics and geochemistry that we have completed indicate that there are zones that go on for 500 metres or 1,000 metres beyond what has currently been defined by drilling ... this represents one of the most obvious ways to build on what has been presented in this

current PEA.” At the same time, he says, the project’s high-grade component hasn’t been explored to any extent.

“There are near-vertical structural or vein features that are extremely high grade that were mined by old-timers back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, grading 30 to 60 grams gold per tonne, and those have never been explored for in a modern sense,” he says. “On occasion at both DeLamar and Florida Mountain we have hit some of these veins, and they’re truly spectacular grades, like 20-gram averages over 3 metres, but we have never gone after them in a concerted fashion. So not only are we going to continue looking for low-grade, oxide-transitional mineralization, but we’re also going to focus on the high-grade origins of the district, and that campaign will start in about three or four weeks from now.”

The exploration program will be funded by a $12.5-million, nonbrokered financing the company closed in August.

Integra has drilled more than 30,000 metres at DeLamar so far — the first exploration on the property in over 25 years.

“We’re going to transition into prefeasibility- and feasibility-level studies later this year and into next year. We believe the key here, just like it was at Integra Gold, is to keep that balance between the important de-risking steps of upgrading studies, while concurrently highlighting the exciting exploration potential that shareholders love

to see,” Salamis says. “We’re going to keep that concerted exploration effort going of between 20,000 and 30,000 metres of exploration drilling every year, to show that what we’re looking at next is going to look bigger than what we put out last. This district is so under-drilled, and it’s our goal to remedy that.”

The management team is made up of the former executive team at Integra Gold, which was sold to Eldorado Gold (TSX: ELD; NYSE: EGO) in July 2017, in a deal worth $590 million.

In early September, the company strengthened its board with the addition of C.L. “Butch” Otter, who was the 32nd governor of Idaho from 2007 to 2019.

“He’s going to be pretty key to the growth of this company and unlocking the value in Idaho,” Salamis says. “This was one component we were missing at the company and board level, the in-state familiarity with the bureaucratic landscape and permitting … welcoming a former governor was a powerful addition for us.”

The company is debt-free and has $16 million in cash in its treasury, which is more than enough to take it beyond the end of this year and into next year, Salamis says.

Moreover, he adds that “in all of the financings we have done to date, we have resisted the temptation to issue warrants. We have got a really loyal following of shareholders, some very large institutions from the U.K. and North America, who have been participating in all these financings and are very happy with what they have seen so far, so it’s been great.”

Integra has raised $52 million in gross proceeds through three financings, and 61% of its shareholders are institutions and highnet-worth individuals.

The company has 92 million common shares outstanding for a $124-million market capitalization.

At press time it was trading at $1.35 per share in a 52-week range of 61¢ to $1.38. TNM

Surviving Soviet-style exploration ODDS ‘N’ SODS

| Navigating past man-made anomalies and explosive prospects

BY RALPH RUSHTON Special to The Northern Miner

A

fter the collapse of the Iron Curtain, Eastern Europe was a rich hunting ground for mineral exploration companies. In the mid-1990s, I was part of a small, enthusiastic team assembled by Anglo American under the banner of its subsidiary, Minorco. Anglo essentially gave us carte blanche and a decent budget to conduct reconnaissance exploration along the Tethyan belt from Hungary through to Pakistan, with the odd ad hoc side trip to visit other regions of interest.

The Soviet-style exploration carried out under communism was pretty bloody awful. The metallogenic theories applied were, to say the least, iffy, and pretty much all exploration results were regarded as state secrets. From our conversations with the geologists we hired, both young and old, project information was rationed by the higher-ups, so the underlings never really got to see the whole picture — it was need-to-know stuff, and, according to the prevailing political dogma, the juniors didn’t need to know.

Any half-decent field geologist will tell you that you can’t explore blind with your hands tied. You have to know the target concept to be able to confidently assess the full data sets.

To make matters worse, whole geographic and geological regions were designated by the communist grandees as prospective only for specific commodities, such and such area was a lead-zinc province, for example, so the teams weren’t allowed to explore or assay for anything else. We regularly came across drill core from projects that had only been assayed for a single metal at the expense of a whole suite of other potentially economic ones.

The net result of their ill-conceived and poorly executed programs was that we found ourselves working in highly prospective belts that had never been explored using modern metallogenic concepts or techniques.

In the late 1990s, I was in Sanaa, the capital city of Yemen on the southern end of the Arabian peninsula. I was helping to establish a field office for a program to evaluate parts of the country for zinc-lead systems. We knew of at least one zinc oxide project, called Jabali, in northern Yemen, and, at that time, zinc oxides were an intriguing target for companies that had access to the acid-leach technology needed to treat them.

On our first fact-finding visit we travelled extensively around Yemen, including a detour to the south, which had spent years under the control of a communist, Sovietleaning government. As the British colonial period came to a close in the mid-1960s, an armed struggle began that split Yemen into two countries between 1967 and 1990. The south became the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen supported by the Soviets. In exchange, Russia got naval access to the key strategic port of Aden. In the north, the westleaning Yemen Arab Republic was established, backed by Saudi Arabia.

The communists proceeded to divide South Yemen into four regions for their mineral-exploration efforts. Exploration in each region was handled by a geological team from one of the communist sponsor governments that had supported the establishment of the people’s republic. For example, the Czechs had one region, the Russians another, and the East Germans another. The divisions seemed to be along purely geographical, rather than geological province lines.

We did a quick reconnaissance sweep of an area near the southern port city of Aden using some of the old communist-era maps. One of their exploration techniques was to sample stream sediments, sieve and separate them, then pick out mineral grains using a microscope and tweezers, and count them. Cheap labour was never a problem for the communists. So their maps were covered in densely packed coloured contours, each colour representing grain counts for specific minerals at different locations: sphalerite, pyrite, gold and so on. There were lots of apparent anomalies containing high ore mineral counts.

In the absence of reports or any other data, they weren’t definitive, but they were interesting enough that we decided to spend a day trying to ground truth on a few of the more accessible ones.

We were investigating a really high concentration of native copper metal reported from one of the deeply incised dry stream beds north of Aden, along with traces of secondary zinc and other metals. The Soviet geologists had unusually marked the anomaly on the map to follow up as a potential mineral showing.

Curiously, the map also showed native lead grains in the sediments.

The presence of native lead was a bit of a head-scratcher at first, because lead typically occurs as its sulphide, galena, and the native metal is extremely rare. There are only a handful of native lead localities known worldwide, and some of those are actually old smelters. It didn’t make sense to see so much in one small area.

And then the penny dropped.

I remembered my dad telling me that his brother Peter had served part of his national service in the Royal Air Force in Aden. In the run up to the communist takeover, the British army had been caught up in an escalating guerilla war in and around Aden, with firefights and running battles against insurgents.

The Russian geologists had been picking out weathered bullet and munition fragments from the stream sediments, relics of the many small battles that took place during the struggle. Their exploration methodology was itself so fragmented that nobody had sufficient information to put two and two together and arrive at the obvious conclusion: it was a man-made anomaly.

I have come across the bloated legacy of communism in other countries, too. In Iran, I was once pushed by a local group to hire an old Soviet-trained project geologist to manage some work for us. He tried to sell me on the concept of a huge communist-style exploration camp, complete with a thin-section lab, assay facilities and all the bells and whistles that a hundred geologists might need just to explore 48 km of volcanic belt. The concept of a small, three- to four-man team conducting a first-pass reconnaissance program

In the mid-1990s I was based in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Exploring there was fun. It’s a beautiful country, and culturally diverse, a consequence of the many invaders who have trudged through on their way to Asia, or from Asia into Europe. The Romans, Mongols, Turks, Greeks, and more recently the Nazi Germans, all left their mark on the country.

Bulgaria also provided good examples of how not to conduct exploration. I once took a rather spooky walk into an abandoned, 1.2 km long adit somewhere near the Serbian border, which eventually cut a 50 cm thick quartz vein with minor copper and zinc mineralization.

The equivalent of millions of dollars had been spent on tunnelling, when a couple of boreholes would have done the job quicker and cheaper.

We had a tough job educating the senior government geological staff on what modern exploration was all about — the type of deals western companies would sign, the budgets and modern methodology — it was all very confusing to them. In stark contrast, the young geologists we hired were a different breed. Fast learners, well-trained technically, and keen as anything to work, they soon adapted to operating in small reconnaissance teams. In fact, they performed so well that we were able to use them as a highly mobile project-evaluation team in Pakistan, Iran, Yemen and India, and they have all gone on to forge successful international careers.

Around 1995 or 1996, I was tasked with reviewing a small gold project called Petelovo, in the Panagyurishte volcanic belt near the village of Poplintsi in southern Bulgaria.

It’s a small, high-sulphidation gold deposit — geologically interesting, but lowish-grade, with a mix of sulphide and oxide gold ore to complicate the metallurgy. The deposit has been explored on and off for decades, but work recently stalled in the face of staunch local environmental opposition.

When we worked there under the guise of Minorco, Petelovo hadn’t been touched since the 1980s, so we walked on to a textbook example of inefficient over-exploration. I could barely believe what had been done there. The old maps showed 4.5 km of adits and dozens of drill holes.

The communists had done mil-

lions of dollars’ worth of work to explore something that contained, at most, 16 million tonnes at about 1 gram per tonne gold, and was clearly economically marginal. A Vancouver-based company would probably have drilled 20 to 30 holes, completed a resource estimate, run a quick economic model, and walked away.

I was working with a Bulgarian colleague, Daniel, and as far as we were concerned, the tunnels made our jobs easier, so I wasn’t complaining. It’s rare to come across an abandoned gold project riddled with so many well-engineered adits to provide access.

We got kitted up with underground gear — lamps and hard hats — and began work checking the underground mapping and channel sampling the adits. We were both former mine geologists so the work went quite quickly. I cut my professional teeth underground and still love it (luckily, I have never suffered from claustrophobia). There’s something special about the smell of broken rock and the feel of being in it rather than on top of it. You develop a unique 3-D insight into mineral deposits.

By the time we got to the third or fourth adit, we had a routine worked out. I would map the geology and mark the sample intervals along the adit wall with paint for Daniel.

He would follow along, chipping away with his hammer, and bag the samples, and label and tag them. Local labourers removed the samples from the adit for shipment to the assay laboratory.

We had noticed that the floor of the tunnel was lined with old boards and planks, which were handy to stand on and work. They had been stacked on top of the iron rails left in place by the communists. After years exposed to the subsurface, the wood was pretty rotten and regularly crumbled underfoot.

One afternoon, a couple of hundred metres in, I stumbled and my foot went through one of the boards.

Shining my headlight down, I could see that my right leg was ankle-deep through a splintered board, and I had landed in a 2-by-1-foot cardboard box. It was lined with a plastic bag and was full of neatly packed sticks of dynamite. Even worse, the dynamite

sticks had been there for so long that they were sweating nitroglycerine, which had pooled at one end of the box — luckily not the end I had stepped in. I knew straight away what it was. In the 1950s my dad was sent to the western desert of Egypt for National Service, blowing up old German munitions dumps, and had described finding boxes swimming in the stuff.

At that moment, I heard a crack from along the tunnel in Daniel’s direction. The same thing had happened to him, and he was now standing in another box full of the capricious, liquid explosive.

There are various issues with nitroglycerine. Its volatility makes it highly dangerous but it also causes really nasty headaches if you get it on your skin or inhale the fumes.

A potent vadose-dilator, I can only describe the side effect of inhalation as being akin to somebody driving 6-inch nails into your forehead. I had experienced it in South Africa in the 1980s on a small tin mine in the Bushveld complex, and wasn’t keen to suffer another bout. Discretion took over and I shouted to Daniel that we needed to get out of there.

Quietly whispering ‘oh bloody hell’ to myself, I gingerly withdrew my foot from the box and pressed myself to the side of the tunnel, as far away from the tracks as you can get in a 2- to 3-metre-wide adit.

Shining my headlight down at the rails, I could see through gaps between the boards we had walked on. There were perhaps a dozen or more rotten cardboard boxes full of waxy-looking sticks hidden along the adit. The miners had simply left their dynamite underground, covered it up with wood, and buggered off.

Daniel and I carefully made our way back down the tunnel, me treading in his footprints so I knew I was safe, towards a spot where only bare earth was visible between the rails.

We abandoned a bunch of samples as it was too dangerous to go back in. He told me a few years later that a North American company had restarted the project and had cleaned up the mess to access the full length of adits for remapping.

All in all, it was a salutary lesson in communist-era inefficiency and waste that could have gone badly wrong for us. TNM

Wesdome hits high grades at Kiena in Quebec EXPLORATION

The Kiena Deep A zone consists of visible gold within shear veins along the mafic–ultramafic contact and within the ultramafic rocks in shear zones. The A zone is divided into four subparallel subzones that form a plunging fold nose.

Highlights from its ongoing drill program in the Kiena Deep A zone reported in July included hole 6456, which returned 68.2 grams gold per tonne over 19 metres starting from 183 metres’ deep.

Other highlights included 126.3 grams gold per tonne over 4 metres from 94 metres in hole 6450; 44.5 grams gold per tonne over 9 metres from 57 metres in hole 6449; and 52.4 grams gold per tonne over 5 metres from 500 metres in hole 6505.

Kiena has measured and indicated resources of 3.1 million tonnes grading 5.81 grams gold per tonne for 582,600 contained oz. gold. Inferred resources add 4.1 million tonnes grading 7.57 grams gold per tonne for 1 million contained oz. gold.

Michael Michaud, Wesdome’s vice-president of exploration, says things started to come together in late 2017, when the company enhanced its drill platforms at the bottom of the mine from a 1,000-metre depth.

“Now we understand the controls on gold mineralization, and we have extended the zone over 700 metres up- and down-plunge — that is a very significant size,” Michaud says.

The high-grade intercepts were “dramatically different from what we have historically mined,” which were brecciated and did not have a lot of visible gold, Middlemiss says.

The company has four drills turning on the 1,050-metre level exploration ramp to complete the infill and immediate plunge extension drilling in the Kiena Deep A zone.

rill results from Wesdome Gold Mines’ (TSX: WDO) Kiena complex in Quebec have confirmed high-grade gold mineralization in the Kiena Deep A zone.

The 65 sq. km Kiena complex, 10 km from the city of Val-d’Or, includes a fully permitted mine, a 930-metre shaft and a 2,000-tonneper-day mill.

Wesdome operated the Kiena mine from August 2006 to June 2013, during which time it produced 1.8 million tonnes grading 3.38 grams gold per tonne for 198,708 oz. gold.

Since the 1980s, the Kiena Mine has produced 12.5 million tonnes grading 4.5 grams gold per tonne for 1.75 million contained oz. gold.

The mine was placed on care and maintenance due to decreasing recovered grades and persistent industry cost pressures.

Wesdome has been exploring Kiena since 2016, and intersected high-grade gold mineralization in what is now known as the Kiena Deep A Zone.

“We are very pleased with the ongoing definition drilling that continues to confirm the overall continuity of the Kiena Deep A zone, which has now been defined over 700 metres along plunge,” says Duncan Middlemiss, the company’s president and CEO. The Kiena Deep A zone is deeper than the past-producing S-50 zone, the main orebody at Kiena, but occurs on a distinct structure that connects to subparallel regional shears, namely the Marbanite and Norbanite shears.

The S-50 style of gold mineralization comprises stockworks of quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets hosted in basal, typically yielding less than 10 grams gold per tonne.

along the interpreted up-plunge extension of the Deep A zone towards the VC zone area, with one hole (6531) returning 31.1 grams gold per tonne over 5 metres from 530 metres.

The VC zone resides between the 670-metre and 1,000-metre level. The Deep A Zone sits below the VC zone, between the 1,000-metre and1,600metre level. Drilling has revealed that the structure of the Deep A zone is folded like an inverted “U,” as it extends up-plunge to intersect the VC1 and VC6 zones.

“So it is part of the same structure,” Michaud explains. “The

structure that holds the A zone is expected to continue up towards the VC zones.”

The company is considering driving an exploration drift near the 790-metre level to better drill the area, which could help development and production from the Kiena Deep A and VC zones.

The company has drilled 30,000 metres of its 50,000-metre underground exploration program this year, and updated the resource for the Kiena complex on Sept. 25. The global resource, below a 100-metrethick crown pillar, now stands at 2.83 million measured and indicated

tonnes grading 8.67 grams gold per tonne for 788,100 oz. gold. Inferred resources add 2.92 million tonnes grading 8.51 grams gold for 798,100 oz. gold. The resource included drill data as of Aug. 6 and includes another 140 drill holes, for a total of 36,050 metres drilled since Oct. 12, 2018.

A preliminary economic assessment will be completed in early 2020.

The company will continue with exploration and focus on bringing Kiena back into production.

Wesdome aims to become a midtier gold producer, which calls for at least 200,000 oz. production per year. “The Kiena mine will certainly be another production pillar to that,” Middlemiss says. “Kiena is ... 50% of our market cap right now.”

In the meantime, Wesdome’s production comes from its flagship asset, the Eagle River complex, 50 km west of Wawa, Ontario. The complex has two operating gold mines — the Eagle River underground mine and the Mishi open-pit mine, which in the second quarter produced a total of 22,437 oz. and generated $6.7 million in free cash flow, of which $5.5 million was reinvested in the Kiena complex.

The Eagle River mine has been in production since 1995, and Mishi since 2002. Ore from both operations is sent to a central mill.

Wesdome also owns the Moss Lake gold project, 100 km west of Thunder Bay. Moss Lake has measured and indicated resources of 39.8 million tonnes averaging 1.1 grams gold for 1.38 million contained oz. gold, and inferred resources of 50.4 million tonnes grading 1.1 grams gold for 1.75 million oz. gold.

A 2013 PEA estimated that the Moss Lake project has a 10-year mine life (including four years of preproduction), a $196-million, after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate (based on US$1,546 per oz. gold), a 12% after-tax internal rate of return and a 1.75-year payback period.

At press time, Wesdome’s shares were trading at $6.21 in a 52-week range of $3.30 to $7.81. The company has 137 million common shares outstanding for an $851-million market capitalization. TNM

O

n the back of record quarterly revenues from its wholly owned Lac des Îles mine, 100 km northwest of Thunder Bay, Ont., pure-play palladium producer North American Palladium (TSX: PDL; US-OTC: PALDF) recently added to its regional presence by acquiring 51% of the nearby Sunday Lake platinum group metal project, just 60 km south of its mine.

Originally entering an earn-in agreement in mid-2017 with Sunday Lake partners Impala Platinum Holdings and project-generator Transition Metals (TSXV: XTM), North American Palladium has completed its stage-one option terms, vesting a 51% interest by spending $1.5 million on exploration and making $675,000 in payments to major platinum group metals (PGM) producer Implats and $75,000 to Transition Metals, which now hold 24% and 25%.

In North American Palladium’s news release announcing the acquisition on Aug. 19, CEO and president Jim Gallagher described Sunday Lake as the company’s “best blue-sky opportunity and a key element of our long-term strategy to build an inventory of high-quality platinum group metal assets in the Thunder Bay region. We have demonstrated that the PGM zone has significant lateral continuity and are now able to focus on areas of enhanced thickness and grade.”

old grabs most of the mining headlines, especially since its recent comeback, but other precious metals such as silver and palladium are also performing well in today’s market, giving miners new hope after a prolonged commodities slump.

The silver price — seen as both a haven for investors and an industrial commodity — hit a three-year high above US$19 per oz. in early September, while palladium surpassed US$1,700 per oz. due to tightening supply for the auto-catalyst metal.

While both metals have pulled back a bit since then — as has the gold price from a recent six-year high of US$1,550 per oz. — growing macroeconomic uncertainty could send the silver and gold price higher, while palladium will be supported by an ongoing supply deficit.

Rohit Savant, vice-president of research at CPM Group in New York, said the silver price is rising due in part to market uncertainty related to the ongoing U.S.–China trade war, and other factors such as Brexit and funding pressure in U.S. money markets.

“Declining yields and the increased demand for portfolio diversifiers at a time of increased stock market volatility [is also]

expected to help drive silver prices up during the quarter,” Savant said in an email.

Bart Melek, head of commodity strategy at TD Securities in Toronto, has a “fairly positive” outlook for silver. He forecasts the silver price will reach an average of US$19.50 per oz. in 2020, up from his forecast of US$16.43 per oz. for 2019. Silver started 2019 at $15.44 per oz. and trades at US$17.57 per ounce.

“There will be a whole lot more investment” in the silver space, Melek said in an interview, citing an uptick so far this year.

Global silver investment has “increased appreciably” in 2019, according to a report from the Washington-based Silver Institute.

It cites “fresh all-time highs” for silver in exchange-traded products, where 746 million oz. silver are allocated, and says global mint bullion coin sales have risen 30% See INVESTORS / 10

Lake intrusion, which is modelled as a near-continuous blanket with a 1.5 km north–south extent, and a 900-metre, east–west extent. Drill highlights include hole 19-026 on the “Big Red” geophysical target returning a 41-metre interval grading 5.51 grams PGM per tonne (3.22 grams platinum per tonne, 2.08 grams palladium per tonne and 0.21 gram gold per tonne) and 0.57% copper, including a high-grade section of 16 metres of 9.11 grams PGM per tonne (5.42 grams platinum, 3.35 grams palladium and 0.34 gram gold), plus 0.88% copper.

Drilling indicates the main mineralized zone forms a tabular body ranging from 10 to 60 metres thick.

The Sunday Lake PGM mineralized mafic-ultramafic intrusion is modelled as part of the Proterozoic midcontinental rift magmatic event also responsible for Lundin Mining’s (TSX: LUN) Eagle nickel deposit in Michigan, as well as the Tamarack nickel-copper-cobalt deposit (a Rio Tinto [NYSE: RIO; LSE: RIO] and Talon Metals [TSX: TLO] joint venture) and Antofagasta’s (LSE: ANTO) Duluth complex magmatic sulphide deposits in Minnesota.

North American Palladium can boost its Sunday Lake interest to

75% through more staged earn-ins comprised of cumulative exploration expenses of $3 million, plus cumulative payments of $2.48 million and $275,000 to Implats and Transition Metals over the next three years.

Transition has a 25% interest in the project carried to feasibility.

The company’s next stage of drilling at Sunday Lake will target remaining geophysical targets and look to establish continuity of the thickest, highest-grade mineralization found to date.

Sunday Lake gives North American Palladium future optionality to its Lac des Îles palladium mine, which has operated since 1993.

Based on its 2018 Lac des Îles feasibility study to incorporate underground mining of the Roby zone using bulk-mining methods, the company has been ramping up its 6,000-tonne-per-day underground production rate towards 12,000 tonnes per day, which it says is on target to achieve by 2021. The revised development plan aims to extract material from several near-surface resources outside the original openpit development plan and could push out mine life another year to 2027.

year-over-year through July.

In the futures market, net long positioning on Comex at the end of July rose to its highest since November 2017, the report states, while high silver prices have helped boost related mining equities. The Solactive Global Silver Miners Equity Index, which includes international silver mining exploration and refining companies, is up 14% year-to-date and 19% year-over-year.

While silver is getting stronger, it could be held back by its industrial side, particularly as concerns mount about a global recession. One bad sign for the economy came on Oct. 2, when the closely watched ISM manufacturing index, a measure of U.S. manufacturing, fell to its lowest level since June 2009.

Despite the volatility, most mining companies feel optimistic that the worst of the commodities slump is behind them, and that precious metals are poised to benefit.

“Hard assets like silver, like gold,

like PGMs, [will go] higher,” Randy Smallwood, CEO of Wheaton Precious Metals (TSX: WPM; NYSE: WPM), said in an interview.

He sees it in the market, but also in boardrooms, where more fund managers are showing up at mining investment meetings.

“We are seeing a bit of a wake-up,” Smallwood said, suggesting investors are looking for alternatives to “safe” investments, such as the U.S. dollar. “I get a sense that what we’re seeing is an increased appetite for precious metals.”

Silver accounts for 40% of revenues at Wheaton Precious Metals, but the company has also entered the promising palladium market with its July 2018 acquisition of the gold and palladium stream from Sibanye Gold’s (NYSE: SBGL) Stillwater mine.

“We felt good with [our investment in] palladium in the sense that we expect demand will increase,” he says.

Palladium prices are up more than 30% this year to US$1,636 per

oz. due to supply constraints, and Savant of CPM Group expects the price will stay at elevated levels in the coming months amid strong demand from fabricators. The palladium price will also support platinum, Savant says, which has climbed to about US$900 per oz., but has not exceeded US$1,000 in recent years. At press time platinum was US$888 per ounce.

Savant says the biggest risk to platinum group metals such as platinum and palladium is a further slowdown in the auto sector.

RBC Dominion Securities recently started coverage of Torontobased North American Palladium (TSX: PDL; US-OTC: PALDF), which is behind the Lac des Îles

mine near Thunder Bay, Ont., with an “outperform” rating and $26 target, well ahead of its $19 price.

In a note, analyst Mark Mihaljevic cited the company’s “positive financial outlook, demonstrated capital returns through regular and special dividends, and unique exposure to palladium” at a time when prices trade near record highs.

Mihaljevic also cited the deficit in the palladium market — driven by growing demand from carmakers and a large supply shortfall — that pushes up prices, saying he expects the market deficit will continue through 2021.

According to Reuters, palladium has almost doubled in value from a low in August last year, due to

tighter environmental regulations that force carmakers to buy more of the metal used in vehicle exhausts to reduce harmful emissions.

Mitsubishi analyst Jonathan Butler said manufacturers, which account for 80% of palladium consumption, have ramped up orders in recent weeks, which could send prices even higher.

“Over the next 12 to 18 months, we are probably going to see $2,000 in range,” Butler told Reuters.

Philip Newman at consultants Metals Focus told Reuters he expects an eighth consecutive annual shortfall in 2019 of about 617,000 oz. in the 10 million oz. a year palladium market.

RBC’s Mihaljevic is cautious longer-term, forecasting “an eventual rebalancing of the market” for palladium, “as supply and demand gradually respond to current prices, with the market and value chains in vehicle OEMs eventually arbitraging out the pricing differences between palladium and platinum via substitution.”

Michael Jones, CEO of Vancouver-based Platinum Group Metals (TSX: PTM; NYSE-AM: PLG), 50% co-owner of the palladiumdominant Waterberg project in South Africa, said the company has seen some increase in investor interest since palladium prices started rising.

However, he says the interest remains relative given the capital shortage across the broader sector.

“Frankly, we are caught up in the current mining malaise,” Jones said in an interview. “There just isn’t interest in where things come from.”

Jones says Platinum Group Metals has the support of its three largest shareholders: Hosken Consolidated Investments, with a 30% stake; Liberty Mutual Insurance, at 19%; and Franklin Resources (NYSE: BEN), with 17%.

“We are in a very fortunate position that we are supported by major owners that are long-term thinkers,” Jones said. “[Other] investors just aren’t here yet ... they will come as the opportunity develops.” TNM

he Northern Miner presents the top-10, silver-focused companies by market capitalization.

1. Fresnillo Market cap: $8 billion With 61.8 million oz. silver production in 2018, Mexico City-headquartered Fresnillo (LSE: FRES) says it’s the world’s largest silver producer.

Across Mexico, the company operates seven mines and holds two development projects and three advanced exploration properties.

This year the company is scheduled to produce between 55 million and 58 million oz. silver. Fresnillo reported consolidated cash costs of US$7.88 per oz. silver for the first half of 2019.

The company has a total of 2.2 billion oz. silver in resources across its suite of properties.

Fresnillo also produced 922,000 oz. gold in 2018 and has 39 million oz. gold in resources.

The company also owns a number of early exploration projects in Mexico, Chile and Peru.

2. Buenaventura Market cap: $5 billion Lima-based miner Buenaventura (NYSE: BVN) owns dozens of mineral assets throughout Peru, with a heavy silver weighting. The company delivered 26.9 million oz. silver in 2018, as well as 603,000 oz. gold, 39,000 tonnes lead, 63,000 tonnes zinc and 122,000 tonnes copper.

In 2019, the company plans to produce between 20.8 million and 23.4 million oz. silver, with cash costs between US$10 and US$11 per oz. silver.

Buenaventura owns all or part of 16 silver-bearing assets containing 197 million oz. silver in attributable reserves, and another 172 million oz. silver in non-reserve resources.

The company’s wholly owned Uchucchacua underground mine is its flagship silver asset, 265 km northeast of Lima. In 2018, the mine produced more than 15.4 million oz. silver from ore averaging 398 grams silver per tonne. The mine has 11.9 million tonnes in proven and probable reserves grading 239 grams silver per tonne, for 92 million contained oz. silver.

Buenaventura has 266 million oz. silver in reserves across its property portfolio.

3. Pan American Silver Market cap: $4.6 billion Pan American Silver (TSX: PAAS; NASDAQ: PAAS) operates across the Americas, with 10 mines in Mexico, Peru, Canada, Bolivia and Argentina.

In 2018, Pan American produced 24.8 million oz. silver at average cash costs of US$3.35 per ounce.

The company’s guidance for 2019 targets producing between 26.6 million and 27.6 million oz. silver.

The company’s proven and probable reserves add up to 273 million tonnes, which house 557 million oz. silver and 5.1 million oz. gold. Additionally, Pan American has more than 1 billion tonnes of measured and indicated resources, which contain 797 million oz. silver and 10.6 million oz. gold.

In February 2019, the company closed the US$1.1-billion acquisition of Tahoe Resources and its Escobal silver mine in Guatemala.

A Guatemalan court suspended Escobal in 2018 and ordered more consultation with local communities before mining can resume.

4. First Majestic Silver Market cap: $2.6 billion Mexico-focused First Majestic Silver (TSX: FR; NYSE: AG) owns six silver mines across the country.

Precious metal production for 2018 totalled 11.7 million oz. silver, or 22.2 million equivalent oz. silver (including gold, lead and zinc credits).

In 2019, the company expects to extract 12.8 million to 13.5 million oz. silver, which would amount to 24.7 million to 27.5 million equivalent oz. silver, including secondary metal credits.

First Majestic’s proven and probable reserves total 17.3 million tonnes grading 184 grams silver per tonne and 1.44 grams gold, for 103 million

Waterberg study pegs 45-year mine life for Platinum Group Metals SOUTH AFRICA

| Capital costs estimated at US$874 million

BY STEVE STAKIW

P

Special to The Northern Miner

latinum Group Metals (TSX: PTM) tabled its definitive feasibility study (DFS) for the Waterberg platinum group metals (PGM) project in South Africa’s Bushveld Complex outlining a boost in palladium, platinum, gold and rhodium (4E) reserves, as well as enhanced economics using recent spot metal prices.

The DFS envisions annual production of 420,000 combined oz. 4E over a 45-year mine life, plus nickel and copper by-products.

Waterberg is a joint venture between Platinum Group Metals (37.05%), South Africa-based major Impala Platinum Holdings (Implats) (15%), Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. (JOGMEC) (12.95%), Japanese trading company Hanwa (9.75%) and Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) partner Mnombo Wethu Consultants (26%). Factoring in Platinum Group’s 49.9% ownership in BEE Mnombo, it has an effective 50.02% interest in the Waterberg joint venture.

The DFS — incorporating Sept.

4 buoyant 4E spot prices — shows a substantial mineral reserve boost over the 2016 prefeasibility study results. Proven and probable reserves in all six zones of the deposit are estimated at 187.5 million tonnes grading 0.94 gram platinum per tonne, 2.04 grams palladium per tonne, 0.05 gram rhodium per tonne and 0.21 gram gold per tonne, or a combined 3.24 grams 4E per tonne using a 2.5 gram 4E per tonne cut-off grade. The 19.5 million contained oz. 4E metal reserves in this latest tally is a 58% increase from the 2016 study’s 12.32 million contained oz.

4E metal in reserves.

Total measured and indicated resources — inclusive of reserves — in the Waterberg DFS are pegged at 242.4 million tonnes at 0.98 gram platinum, 2.13 grams palladium, 0.05 gram rhodium and 0.22 gram gold, or a combined 3.38 grams 4E using the same 2.5 gram 4E cut-off grade.

Under the recent metal spot price valuation model, the DFS indicates a US$982-million, after-tax net present value (NPV) at an 8% discount rate. However, with a three-year, trailing average metal-price model, the NPV drops to US$333 million.

After-tax internal rates of return are 20.7% at spot prices and 13.3% using three-year trailing metal prices.

Platinum Group Metals’ CEO, Michael Jones, said in a press release that the DFS “provides a clear outline of the world-class nature of the Waterberg palladium deposit, and concludes that it can be one of the largest fully mechanized, low-cost PGM mines in the world.”

But big mines don’t come cheap.

Capital costs to build Waterberg are estimated at US$874 million, including US$87 million in contingencies, with almost half of the projected spend allocated for underground development. Life-of-mine average site cash costs (inclusive of by-product credits and smelter discounts) are projected at US$640 per oz. 4E under the spot metal price valuation scenario, placing the project in the lower quartile of the PGM industry cost curve, according to Platinum Group’s data and projections.

A formal construction decision by the joint-venture partners comes after mining rights are granted,

which is expected in early 2020, and first production is estimated 3.5 years later in late 2023, with ramp-up to a steady state by 2027.

The development plan uses twin decline tunnels to access the shallow orebody a couple hundred metres below surface, and extends to 1,280 metres’ depth.

The Waterberg mine plan aims to exploit six zones over an 8 km strike length of the orebody that sits in the North Limb of the Bushveld Complex. However, unlike many other orebodies, or reefs, in the region that have relatively narrow widths (typically less than 1 metre to a couple metres), Waterberg’s ore horizons have true widths ranging from 2 metres to 107 metres that allow for more efficient bulk-mechanized mining. Additionally, metallurgy differs from other regional PGM operations in that Waterberg is more palladium-dominant, with strong gold credits — a definite valuation boost under recent metal pricing.

Platinum Group’s joint-venture partner Implats, one of the world’s largest PGM producers, bought into the Waterberg project in 2017 under a US$30-million strategic investment for a 15% ownership (8.6% acquired from Platinum Group and 6.4% from JOGMEC). Additionally, Implats holds a right of first refusal for concentrate offtake.

Under the 2017 transaction terms, completion of the DFS now triggers Implats formal review and option to boost its stake to 50.01% through additional purchases and earn-in arrangements from the joint-venture partners totalling US$166 million.

BEE partner Mnombo would keep a 26% interest.

If the project comes to fruition it would provide economic and social benefits into the region, with an estimated 1,170 employees involved in long-term operations.

Capita l i zi ng on t he recent strength in the palladium market to bolster its treasury, Platinum Group completed a financing package that saw a US$10.4-million, boughtdeal financing at US$1.25 per share through BMO Capital Markets. Additionally, the company completed two private-placement financings of US$10 million and US$9.2 million to

Liberty Metals & Mining Holdings (now an 18.9% shareholder), and to Hosken Consolidated Investments subsidiary Deepkloof (now a 30.2% shareholder).

In conjunction with some of the financing proceeds, Platinum Group also drew US$20 million from its new credit agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending to repay in full a secured US$43-million debt facility it had in place with Liberty

Metals, significantly reducing and deferring the company’s overall debt position.

Platinum Group recently teamed up with Anglo American Platinum to form Lion Battery Technologies, a venture aiming to fast-track development of potential next-generation battery technology using platinum and palladium.

Although still an early-stage technology, the venture will form

university partnerships to advance studies and potential battery development that could lead to new applications and markets for PGMs. After releasing its DFS on Sept.

24, shares of Platinum Group Metals slipped 5% to $2.36. At press time shares slipped further to $2 apiece, giving the company a $117-million market capitalization. The company’s 52-week trading range is $2.92 to $1.36. TNM

Rhodium punches above its weight with strong prices DEMAND

BY DENISE HECKBERT

R

Special to The Northern Miner

hodium is an irreplaceable material for complying with carbon emission standards in gasoline-powered vehicles, which consume almost all of its annual production. But while global auto sales declined in late 2018 and the first eight months of this year, rhodium spot prices soared to nearly double their 10-year high.

Manufacturing of carbon-emitting vehicles consumes 80% of rhodium production each year due to the metal’s unique ability to convert harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) in vehicle emissions.

Demand from these vehicles — working to comply with stringent emission limits — drive the price of rhodium. The prices are subject to fluctuations during times of even small mismatches between supply and demand, due to rhodium’s small production volumes. (Rhodium is a by-product of palladium and platinum mining.)

Yet, the global downturn in auto sales, paired with the broader economic impacts of the tariff battle between the U.S. and China, have not squashed rhodium spot prices.

The slide in auto sales has also overlapped with significant reductions in rhodium demand yearover-year in the chemical and glass industries, which consume much of the remaining 20% of annual production.

Nevertheless, rhodium prices climbed to US$5,400 per oz. by the end of September 2019. This is nearly double the 10-year high of US$2,975 per oz. and more than three times the 10-year average of US$1,627 per ounce.

The price increases were evident in major platinum group metal (PGM) producers Anglo American

1-16_OCT14_Main .indd 14

| Carbon-emission converter hangs on, despite low global car sales

Platinum (Amplats) and Impala Platinum Holdings’ (Implats) recent financial statements. Rhodium made up just 6% of Amplats’ PGM production for the first half of 2019 but provided 15% of its revenue for the same period, according to its interim results. Those revenue figures were based on an average rhodium price of just US$2,846 per oz. in the first half of 2019 — roughly half of the current price.

Similarly, Implats’ fiscal year 2019 results, posted in September, showed major contributions from rhodium to its total revenue. The low-volume metal provided 14% and 17% of total PGM revenue at its two biggest mines, IRS and Impala, and up to 21% of revenue at its Two Rivers platinum mine, all of which are in South Africa. Again, these results were based on average spot prices of just US$2,568 per ounce.

The rhodium price increases over the past couple years were not entirely unexpected. Johnson Matthey, which monitors PGM markets, along with the major PGM producers, had anticipated increases in 2018 due to strong auto-sector demand, as carbon emission standards tightened and consumers in China, the European Union and the U.S. continued to buy new cars.

Auto demand expectations were so strong that, while the rhodium market was in surplus in 2018, prices had climbed to an eightyear high in December 2018, due to “higher forward purchasing from auto and industrial buyers,” Johnson Matthey said in its May 2019 “PGM Market Report.”

However, the 2018 trend looked ready to slow moving into 2019.

Johnson Matthey reported that an increase in rhodium sales caused spot prices to retreat to US$$2,460 per oz. in the last days of 2018. And,

“RHODIUM IS AN EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE CATALYST FOR THE CONVERSION OF [NITROGEN OXIDE] IN THE EXHAUST STREAM.” REPORT JOHNSON MATTHEY

by that time, China had already posted the most noteworthy of its disappointing auto sales results.

In mid-2018, China posted its first decline in internal combustion car sales in decades, and sales have declined year-over-year since then, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

China has not been alone in facing declining vehicle sales. The European Automobile Manufacturers Association recently announced a 3.1% decline in EU sales for the first half of 2019 over the same period in 2018, and it found a similar decline in the U.S., with even bigger slides in India and South America.

Despite these ongoing auto sales declines, rhodium’s price climbed throughout 2019, far beyond what analysts and PGM producers had predicted. So, what is responsible for rhodium’s soaring prices in 2019? Ironically, it appears to be the struggling automobile market.

Most carbon emission standards in the world’s biggest auto markets have mandatory limits on NOx, but stringent carbon emission policies are due to take effect in two of the most important auto markets in the world — the EU and China — according to Johnson Matthey.

As of September, all passenger cars sold in Europe are required to meet the “Euro 6d-TEMP” standards, which require vehicles to show NOx and particle number emissions compliance in road and

laboratory tests. The standards are tighter — and must be met for most of the vehicle’s lifetime — but it is the addition of road test requirements that really make rhodium more essential than ever before.

“Rhodium is an extremely effective catalyst for the conversion of NOx in the exhaust stream, and even small increases in rhodium content can result in a large improvement in catalyst performance [under emissions testing],” Johnson Matthey said in its May 2019 report.

As the world’s most effective means of dealing with NOx in gasolinepowered vehicles, rhodium’s spot prices are being impacted in a big way by the EU’s new policies.

Meanwhile, China is set to implement its next round of carbon emission rules between 2020 and 2023.

China’s new standard will “involve significantly higher palladium and rhodium loadings compared to the current” system, according to Johnson Matthey.

Johnson Matthey declined to comment on whether these new demand pressures per vehicle can offset declines in overall auto sales, but the current price of rhodium would seem to indicate that they are more than sufficient.

Implats appears to agree. The PGM producer said in its 2019 fiscal year results that, while it has made “downward revisions to its expectations in the medium-term” for auto sales, it expects to see “loadings

[due to emission policies] offsetting volume declines” in the auto sector.

Not everyone is so down on the auto sector, indicating that nearterm demand increases could put even more pressure on rhodium prices in 2020. Amplats stated in its 2019 interim results, posted in July, that tightening emission standards will increase demand in 2020 “as vehicle sales grow once again,” and said it expects that as a result “rhodium should move towards a deficit over the next few years.”

(Implats reported that rhodium is already in a deficit in 2019. Johnson Matthey estimates rhodium is likely in a “technical surplus” again this year, as rhodium production appears more than sufficient to meet actual demand, but forward purchasers may move the market into a small deficit. No one has ventured specific estimates.)

At the same time, it may be that auto-sector buyers, whose forwardpurchasing Johnson Matthey said drove up rhodium prices in 2018, are at it again in 2019, buying more rhodium than is currently usable in anticipation of the new standards in the EU and China. Johnson Matthey declined to comment.

Ongoing labour negotiations in South Africa — where the World Bank estimates 83% of known rhodium is located — may also contribute to buyers’ desire to squirrel away rhodium reserves. Slow progress appears to be on the horizon between the South African platinum mining union, Mineworkers and Construction Union, and major platinum producers in the country, but nothing is guaranteed in this ongoing matter.

For now, it seems rhodium will continue punching above its weight, providing more economic benefit to PGM producers than anyone expected. TNM

Hochschild diversifies into rare earths with Chile acquisition REE s

| Miner says deposit is in ‘a key industry, with expected exponential growth’

BY TRISH SAYWELL tsaywell@northernminer.com

H

ochschild Mining (LSE: HOC) has mined precious metal epithermal vein deposits in South America for nearly 50 years, and operates three underground mines: two in southern Peru, and one in southern Argentina. The mines produced 245,325 equivalent oz. gold, or 19.9 million equivalent oz. silver, in the first half of 2019, the second-highest production figures in the company’s history.

So investors could be forgiven for feeling a little taken aback by the company’s announcement that it is acquiring a rare earths deposit in Chile for US$56.3 million in cash. Hochschild already owns a 6.2% stake in the early-stage BioLantanidos project, an investment it made last year.

The BioLantanidos deposit contains terbium, dysprosium, praseodymium and neodymium — rare earth minerals with permanent magnetic properties that boost the efficiency of motors, particularly in electric vehicles, wind turbines and drone motors.

“The company remains focused on precious metals and on our successful exploration-based strategy, but this diversification gives us the potential to acquire a unique deposit in a key industry, with expected exponential growth, in a low-risk jurisdiction,” CEO Ignacio Busta-

BY A MID-TIER PRECIOUS METALS MINER IN NOT ONLY RARE EARTHS, BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY, HEAVY RARE EARTHS AND LATIN AMERICA.” CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTONE MINING STRATEGIST, HALLGARTEN & CO.

mante said in prepared remarks.

“We are also excited by the strong geological upside potential, which could see the company become a

relevant player in the global rare earth market.”

Bustamante noted that the investment is the culmination of

“an extensive, long-term project to identify commodities with very strong growth characteristics, as well as our ability to discover regional investment options that might not otherwise be available.”

BioLantanidos consists of ionic clay resources, similar to those found in China, which are the lowest-cost rare earth sources in the world, Hochschild says. The ionic clay deposits differ from most other rock-based rare earth projects, and do not require the use of explosives.

Instead, the clay undergoes a washing process that creates a rare earth oxide. The deposits do not require tailings dams, since the washed clay is returned to the open pits.

Mineralization at BioLantanidos runs from surface to a depth of 20 to 30 metres.

Since Hochschild made its initial investment in the project, an on-site pilot plant has been built, which has shown technical and commercial viability, and “the opportunity to scale up into industrial operations, the company says.

A feasibility study has been completed by the project’s current owners, a private Chilean company that is controlled by FIP Lantanidos, a private fund. FIP Lantanidos is managed by private equity firm Mineria Activa.

Hochschild says it will revise the study over the next year and a half. “The acquisition of a rare earth project may leave some in-

vestors questioning the rationale to diversify outside of gold and silver,” Ryan Thomas of BMO Capital Markets said in a research note to clients. “That being said, the initial $56-million investment represents less than 5% of Hochschild’s market capitalization. Given the small size of the acquisition and the fact that a dedicated management team will oversee the project, we don’t see BioLantanidos as a major distraction from the precious metals business.”

Christopher Ecclestone, a mining strategist at Hallgarten & Co., a boutique research firm in London, notes that Hochschild’s investment signals a new era in the rare earths sector.

“This is a massive vote of confidence by a mid-tier precious metals miner in not only rare earths, but more specifically, heavy rare earths and Latin America (which was largely passed by in the rare earth elements boom of 2009–2012),” he writes in an email to The Northern Miner. “Beyond that it signals that HREEs are going to be majority foreign-dominated (that is, nonChinese) by 2025, if not earlier. It’s the start of an era and the end of an era.”

In a recent research report, Ecclestone pointed out that China “is facing an increasing shortage of heavy rare earths, as is the west,” and that “some chatter suggests that China is now a net importer of HREEs.” TNM

Triple R deposit, which consists of five mineralized bodies — R1515W, R840W, R00E, R780E and R1620E — spread across a 3.2 km mineralized trend on the southwestern end of Saskatchewan’s Athabasca basin.

Mineralization at PLS occurs along steeply dipping structures and is often associated with graphitic material. The deposit sits 50 metres below the surface and is open in several directions.

In 2009, the company ran a highresolution, airborne radiometric and magnetic survey that detected a radioactive anomaly 3 km west of Patterson Lake, in a new area.

Fission discovered a high-grade, uranium boulder field through follow-up work on the anomaly.

Through drilling, it traced the anomaly back to the west shore of Patterson Lake. It drilled the discovery hole, announced on Nov. 5, 2012, in what is now called the R00E zone.

“When we made the discovery back in 2012, it was in an area that nobody even looked at. That is why we were able to beat the big guys at the game,” McElroy says. “We really did open up a very important part of the Athabasca basin,” he adds.

“The future of uranium mining in Saskatchewan will come out of this area.”

The project’s 17 mineral claims now comprise five mineralized zones that make up the Triple R deposit.

R1515W covers 90 metres in strike length, 68 metres across strike and 220 metres vertical. Mineralization remains open in several directions.

R840W is located 515 metres east along strike of R1515W, and has a strike length of 430 metres. R00E is located 485 metres east along strike of R840W, and is drill defined to 115

1-16_OCT14_Main .indd 15

metres in strike length. The R780E zone and R1620E zones, located beneath Patterson Lake, make up the eastern region of the Triple R deposit. R780E, the biggest zone, is located 225 metres east of R00E and has a strike length of 945 metres. R1620E is located 210 metres along strike to the east of R780E, and is drill defined to 185 metres in strike length.

The mineral resources in the updated study remain unchanged from the previous one. The PLS project contains 2.22 million indicated tonnes grading 2.1% U3O8 for 102.4 million contained lb. U3O 8 .

Inferred resources add 1.22 million tonnes grading 1.22% U3 O 8 for 32.8 million contained pounds.

Resources are based on a cut-off grade of 0.25% U3O8 .

Fission plans to complete a feasibility study, along with an updated resource estimate, by December 2020.

Also in the pipeline is a 90-hole, 28,000-metre drilling program scheduled to begin in December until July 2020 to expand and convert the resources in the three mineralized zones — R1515W, R845W and R1620E — from the inferred to indicated category.

The underground PFS is based on indicated resources from the R780E and R00E zones, although the project will accommodate more resources from the other three zones.

“If we are able to convert everything that we know, we roughly get about another 35% of the resource,” McElroy says.

Fission also plans to drill deeper on R780E to increase the overall mineral reserve mine life.

McElroy expects the PLS project will reach production in seven years’ time, in 2026.

“Once we are in production, I

think we will be a very important supplier of uranium to the world,” he says.

Canada is the world’s secondlargest producer of uranium after Kazakhstan. According to Natural Resources Canada, most of the country’s uranium reserves are located in the Athabasca basin, which hosts the world’s largest high-grade deposits. The deposits mined in Canada have grades that are 10 to 100 times greater than the average grade of deposits mined elsewhere in the world.

Fission Uranium’s ownership of the PLS project dates back to 2013, when the company was created after Fission Energy signed an agreement with Denison Mines that saw Fission Energy spin out some of its assets, including its 50% interest in the PLS property, into a new, publicly traded company called Fission Uranium.

As part of the agreement, Denison acquired a portfolio of uranium exploration projects from Fission Energy. Fission Uranium held the remaining assets of Fission Energy, including their 50% interest in the PLS property.

In 2016, CGN Mining became Fission’s strategic partner when the Chinese state-owned company took a 19.9% equity stake through the purchase of 97 million Fission shares at 85¢ per share, for gross proceeds of $82.2 million.

“That is why the Chinese chose to invest with us,” says Dev Randhawa, Fission Uranium’s CEO and chairman. “They like very shallow projects. They feel there are less technical risks.”

Randhawa says the rise of electric vehicles and cryptocurrencies will drive the demand for nuclear energy, which is fuelled by uranium ore.

According to a 2019 performance report by the World Nuclear Asso-

ciation, nuclear generation in Asia rose more than 10% in 2018 over 2017 to reach 533 terawatt hours, accounting for more than one-fifth of the world’s nuclear generation.

China and India’s need for reliable, non-air-polluting electricity drives the two countries’ continued growth in nuclear-power investment.

After the updated PFS, Eight Capital’s vice-president and senior mining analyst David Talbot increased his target price for Fission from $2 to $2.30, and reiterated his “buy” recommendation. The economics of the underground PFS is a “vast improvement” over the previous PFS based on a hybrid mine, he says in a Sept. 23 research note, adding that “today’s underground PFS should not only improve confidence greatly, but lay the groundwork for Fission’s ultimate development plans.”

The quickest way Fission can improve the value of the PLS project is to convert inferred resources from all five zones to the indicated category. Running the permitting process in parallel would also help minimize the development time line. “[Fission] is one of our top

developer picks, as it may come in cheaper and quicker to production than certain peers, assuming it can execute,” Talbot says.

Alexander Pearce, a mining analyst with BMO Capital Markets, gave Fission an “outperform” rating.

“We view the design as an attractive alternative development, with similar economics, but potentially lower permitting and social risks,” he says in a research note.

Derek Macpherson, vice-president of research with Red Cloud Securities, maintains his $1.20-pershare, fair-value estimate. “The high-grade nature and politically safe jurisdiction at PLS warrants a substantial premium relative to current prices,” he says in a research note. Macpherson says that uranium prices are poised to rally, and “a premium asset like PLS is likely to be one of the first to re-rate in the industry.”

Fission’s shares were trading at 36¢ per share within a 52-week trading range of 32¢ to 75¢ at press time. The company has 486 million common shares outstanding for a $175-million market capitalization. TNM

It was not until 25 years record, Lundberg faced industry the company as a project manager later, after the Second World War, skepticism for his novel ideas and in 1985, became chief operating that his lofty dreams were realized. eclectic interests. In response, he officer (COO) in 1998, and was HALL OF FAME From 5

president and COO from 2005 until he retired in 2012. During this time he transformed Agnico Eagle from a regional single-mine company into a top-performing global gold producer, with nine mines in Canada, Finland and Mexico. He also earned a reputation as a generous career mentor, environmentally responsible industry leader, and a builder of bridges with Indigenous Peoples and other stakeholders in Canada and abroad.

Born in Germany, Scherkus came to Canada as an infant and was raised in Val-d’Or, Quebec.

He earned his B.Sc. in geology from McGill University in 1975, and worked for several companies before joining Agnico Eagle.

The company was then headed by legendary founder Paul Penna, who needed a technical team to turn around a struggling, lowgrade, open-pit mine with limited reserves. Scherkus accepted the daunting challenge, transformed LaRonde into a productive mine, and subsequently expanded it at least four times. LaRonde’s 2.2 km Penna shaft is the deepest single-lift shaft in the Americas. As of 2017, the flagship mine had produced five million oz. gold, with another 2.6 million oz. in proven and probable reserves.

Scherkus developed the nearby Goldex and Lapa gold mines, as well as the Meadowbank gold project in Nunavut, which Agnico Eagle had acquired in 2007. Meadowbank was Agnico Eagle’s first Arctic mine, where the main difficulties were the remote location and harsh weather conditions. An impact benefit agreement was signed

with the Kivalliq Inuit Association to ensure employment and business opportunities. Meadowbank poured its first gold in 2010, and had produced 2 million oz. gold by 2015, with nearly 250,000 oz. in 2018. More recently, Agnico Eagle opened the Meliadine gold mine to expand its presence in Nunavut.

Another phase of Agnico Eagle’s growth was outside of Canada, where the challenge was to adapt to new cultures while promoting corporate policies on responsible mine development. The Kittila mine in Finland and the Pinos Altos mine in Mexico both poured their first gold in 2009. Scherkus showed strong leadership during this period of growth by building highly skilled professional teams for each operation. The number of employees grew from 400 people at Canadian projects in 1985, to 5,700 people at mines and projects around the world when he retired.

Since then, Scherkus has continued to contribute to the mining industry by serving as a director of numerous companies, and as a board member of industry associations.

Scherkus has received many awards and honours for his achievements, including the Viola McMillan Award from PDAC in 2000, and the Selwyn G. Blaylock Medal from CIM in 2005. He was a cowinner of The Northern Miner’s Person of the Year Award in 2007, and the 2011 recipient of the Nunavut Mining Symposium’s Mike Hine Award. Prior to being appointed to the Governors’ Circle of the Quebec Mining Association in 2014, Scherkus served as president of the association in 1994. TNM
