lamos Gold (TSX: AGI; NYSE: AGI) is set to expand its Canadian production footprint via a US$770-million, all-share deal for Richmont Mines (TSX: RIC; NYSE: RIC).

On Sept. 11, the companies announced a “friendly takeover,” in which Alamos will pay $14.20 per share, which implies a 22% premium based on closing prices at the time of the announcement.

Richmont shareholders will end up with a 23% equity interest in the pro-forma company after a 1.385 Alamos share exchange.

hares of Silver Bear Resources (TSX: SBR) dropped after two major Russian shareholders announced that they are converting promissory notes at a sharp discount to the junior’s share price.

Inflection Management Corp., an investment company owned by Russian businessman Sergey Kolesnikov, and A.B. Aterra Resources, owned by Russian billionaire Alexey Mordashov, informed the markets

in separate press releases on Aug. 30 that they were converting their 15% convertible promissory notes due Dec. 31 at 4.5¢ per share.

Shares of Silver Bear, which is building a mine at its Mangazeisky silver project, 400 km north of Yakutsk in Russia’s Far East, fell 9.4% to 24¢ on Aug. 30. The junior’s shares dropped another 16.7% to 20¢ on Aug. 31 and a further 15% on Sept. 5 to 17¢. At press time, Silver Bear was trading at 17¢ per share within a 52-week range of 15¢ (Sept. 1) to 49¢ (Feb. 24).

In its notice of conversion, Inflection said it was exercising its

right to convert its $13.5 million principal amount and all of the $3.5 million accrued and unpaid interest into ordinary shares of Silver Bear at the conversion price of 4.5¢ per share.

A.B. Aterra, in another press release, said it was exercising its right to convert its entire $4.5-million principal amount and all of the $1.2 million accrued and unpaid interest into ordinary shares of Silver Bear at the same conversion price.

After the conversion, Silver Bear will have 668.05 million ordinary shares outstanding. Of those, Inflection will own 419.8 million shares,

or 62.8%, while A.B. Aterra will own 166.6 million shares, or 24.9%.

Before the conversion, and as of the first quarter of 2017, Silver Bear had 162.9 million issued and outstanding shares (171.90 million, fully diluted). Of those, Inflection held 41.2 million, and A.B. Aterra, 40.5 million.

Silver Bear completed a restructuring of its outstanding debt with its two lenders in December 2015 and issued a consolidated $18-million convertible note. The junior’s share price at the time was 2.5¢ See SILVER BEAR / 2

and the exercise price was fixed at 4.5¢, or a 150% premium. Since then, the company’s share price increased tenfold.

In a research note in January, Andrei Kroupnik of Hannam & Partners in London pointed out that the possible conversion of the notes would mean “Aterra and Inflection’s combined ownership would consequently increase to 85.6% and reduce the free float of the stock, as well as dilute the minority shareholders.”

But he also pointed out that Silver Bear announced in November 2016 that it had entered into negotiations with Aterra and Inflection to mitigate dilution by restructuring and refinancing the outstanding convertible note.

“At the time of writing,” Kroupnik

continued, “the outcome of this refinancing is not known, however, we were assured in our conversations with the main shareholders that it would be significantly less dilutive, and both Aterra and Inflection have no interest in such a large stake in Silver Bear.”

Graham Hill, Silver Bear’s president and CEO, defended the financing.

“Aterra and Inflection provided financing at a time when no one else would, and has provided the company the opportunity to advance the project for all its shareholders,” he wrote in an emailed response to questions from The Northern Miner.

“It is important to understand and put into context the environment and timing when the company entered into the convertible note financings with the major share-

quarter 2015 notes provided financing for the construction material and payment for long-lead items for the project’s construction and development in 2016. As a result of the financing, Silver Bear “was able to accomplish a great deal in 2016,” such as upgrading the quality of its indicated mineral resources, completing a feasibility study and a later updated study, and advancing construction at the site. (In June, the company said 72% was complete.)

“We understand that the major shareholders’ decision to convert will cause a dilution to all shareholders, including Aterra and Inflection,” he said. “However, it should be considered that the transaction has dramatically reduced the company’s outstanding debt — resulting in a healthier balance sheet — as well as improved the company’s cash flows in preparation for production.”

Hill says that Silver Bear management and its major shareholders “committed a great deal of time into the negotiations to undertake a restructuring of the convertible notes and accompanying financing, with the goal to bring in additional investors to the table,” and were successful in extending the convertible note maturity date “in anticipation of a potential restructuring.” How-

holders, which was in October 2015, November 2015, and was restructured in December 2015,” he said.

“During the fourth quarter of 2015, the company’s average share price was 2¢, with a resultant market capitalization of approximately $3 million.”

Hill noted that due to its depressed market cap, Silver Bear was notified by the TSX on Dec. 17, 2015 that it was reviewing the company’s eligibility for continued listing on the stock exchange. “These factors — combined with the increased risk associated with operating in Russia due to the Western sanctions — caused a perfect storm for the company when seeking financing.

“It was a period of very high risk for potential Silver Bear investors and the company is exceedingly grateful to both Aterra and Inflection for their support at that crucial time … both major shareholders provided the convertible note financing, with a conversion price that was at a premium to the company’s then current share price. As well, these financers were all subject to shareholder approval, and the company did obtain overwhelming approval from its minority and disinterested shareholders.”

Hill also noted that the fourth

ever, it could not negotiate a better conversion price.

“After extensive negotiations between Silver Bear, interested parties and major shareholders, it was decided that the options available did not fully satisfy the criteria of all parties,” Hill said in a second email when asked about the company’s efforts to strike a better deal. “It should be added that although the conversion has been completed by the major shareholders, it opens up exciting, new conventional opportunities for restructuring the company’s capital structure. This in turn should bring more benefits for all shareholders.”

Aterra’s Mordashov, who Bloomberg calls Russia’s richest man, is the main shareholder of Russian steel giant Severstal. In January, Bloomberg reported that Mordashov’s fortune stood at US$17.4 billion.

In 2012, Mordashov consolidated gold-mining assets owned by Severstal into Nord Gold. Nord Gold has a 55% stake in Columbus Gold’s (TSX: CGT; US-OTC: CBGDF) Montagne d’Or project in French Guiana. In May 2015, Nord Gold took a majority stake in Northquest, which owned the Pistol Bay gold project in the Arctic, and completed the acquisition of all of the junior’s shares in October 2016. In March 2013, Nordgold completed the acquisition of all of the shares it didn’t already own of High River Gold Mines, which held two underground mines — Zun-Holba and Irokinda — in Russia’s Lake Baikal region. High River also had three open-pit gold mines: Berezitovy in Russia, and Taparko-Bouroum and Bissa in Burkina Faso. TNM

Alamos bids US$770M for Richmont Mines ALAMOS From 1

operation 83 km northeast of Wawa, Ont., which is expected to produce nearly 100,000 oz. gold this year at all-in sustaining costs (AISCs) from US$725 to US$765 per ounce.

The property hosts proven and probable reserves of 2.6 million tonnes grading 9.17 grams gold per tonne for 752,000 contained oz., while inferred resources total 3.04 million tonnes of 10.18 grams gold for 996,000 contained oz. gold.

“It represents a truly rare asset in terms of grade, mine life and jurisdiction. The team at Richmont should really be commended for what they’ve accomplished with the project,” said Alamos president and CEO, John McCluskey.

“The operation has exceeded guidance for three years running, and costs have been decreasing. It’s one of the lowest-cost gold mines in Canada, and recent drill success indicates even more exploration upside. Given that we already have operations in relative proximity, we also expect synergies that could provide cost savings.”

Richmont has committed to over 100,000 metres of drilling this year, from surface and underground, at the 80 sq. km Island Gold site. The company recently reported highgrade mineralization of 800 metres east of its main deposit, where it cut 20.6 grams gold over 11.3 metres of estimated true width.

Richmont released a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) in May that set the stage for a base-case mill expansion to 1,100 tonnes per day, which is underpinned by mining extensions over four horizons to

1,000 metres deep.

The $28-million expansion plan would include $16 million in mill upgrades, $7 million for new mobile equipment and $5 million for expanded underground ventilation.

The company has also earmarked $40 million to accelerate ramp development and infrastructure.

Assuming US$1,260 per oz. gold, the PEA includes an after-tax net present value of $335 million at a 5% discount rate. The operation would have all-in costs, which include project and sustaining capital, of US$675 per oz. gold.

Island Gold’s annual production could jump to 125,000 oz. at AISCs of US$550 per oz. between 2019 and 2024.

“Following the release of our PEA there was a series of factors that led to this deal, but there was no formal bid process, per se,” Richmont president and CEO Renaud Adams said. “In this business you talk to many people, and I knew the industry recognized the value and potential at Island Gold. I recently visited Alamos’ Young-Davidson operation and have always been impressed with their growth profile.

You reach a point where a deal makes sense, so you execute.”

R ichmont concurrently announced it was selling its Quebec portfolio — including the Beaufor mine and the Camf lo mill — to Monarques Gold (TSXV: MQR; US-OTC: MRQRF) for a 19.9% equity interest in the junior. The deal consideration also includes: a 1.5% net smelter return royalty (NSR) on the Wasamac property; a 1% NSR on claims at Camflo; and a 1% NSR on Beaufor, once Monarques has

produced 100,000 oz. gold.

Alamos will increase its gold production profile to 500,000 oz. in 2017 at AISCs of US$900 per ounce. The company also operates the Young-Davidson underground mine in Ontario, and the Mulatos and El Chanate mines in Mexico.

Alamos has traded within a 52week range of $7.86 to $11.86, and dropped 16%, or $1.65, after the news, en route to a $8.60-per-share close at press time. The company has 301 million shares outstanding for a

$2.6-billion market capitalization.

Richmont has moved within an annual range of $7.36 to $15.01, and gained 13¢ after the announcement before closing at $11.75 per share.

The company has 64 million shares outstanding for a $749-million market capitalization.

“We tend to look out across a large universe of opportunities that includes everything from early-stage projects through to development projects,” McCluskey said. “We have quite a bit of those types of

properties in the portfolio already, however, so adding a Canadian producer was really attractive for us. This made the most sense from a value-creation point of view, and it decreases any jurisdictional risk.”

The transaction closed in November and includes a $35-million reciprocal break fee. The combined company will have 391 million shares outstanding, a debt-free balance sheet and nearly US$230 million in cash that will “support internal growth initiatives.” TNM

JOINT VENTURE ARTICLE

Pistol Bay Targets Zinc-Copper Discovery at Confederation Lake Pistol Bay Mining (TSXV: PST; USOTC: SLTFF) is well positioned for a zinc and copper rally thanks to a strategic land portfolio it has assembled along the Confederation Lake volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) greenstone belt around 50 km due southeast of Red Lake, Ontario.

Confederation Lake effectively experienced two notable exploration cycles over the past 50 years.

The first was dominated by Selco Mining — between the late 1960s and mid-1970s — and led to the discovery of the South Bay mine.

The operation produced 1.3 million tonnes of ore grading 2.3% copper, 14.7% zinc and 120 grams silver per tonne from 1971 to 1981. Noranda Exploration was subsequently active in the region through the mid-1990s.

Pistol Bay has acquired a pair of data sets from the historic work, namely: a “whole-rock” geochemical database with almost 7,000 analyses conducted by Noranda; and Selco drill results, many of which were never in the public domain, for the Joy North property.

“It was just over two years ago when I started hearing we might be looking at a zinc market shock.

It just kept coming up in my discussions despite the fact the spot price was really weak at that time,” commented Pistol Bay president and CEO Charles Desjardins during an interview. “I stepped into the Confederation Lake area with the Dixie project, but then we realized there was an opportunity to consolidate this land package and systematically explore.”

The company now controls nearly 100 sq. km along 53 kilometres of “favourable volcanic geology.”

1-16, 23_SEP18_Main .indd 3

The Arrow property hosts indicated resources of 2.1 million tonnes grading 5.92% zinc, 0.75% copper, 21 grams silver, and 0.58 gram gold.

Meanwhile, Joy features historic intervals that include: 5.7 metres of 3.1% copper and 0.2% zinc; and 3.35 metres of 4% copper and 0.17% zinc.

“I chased the owners of the claims around Garnet Lake for literally months,” Desjardins recalls. “It wasn’t until around one year ago I pinned it down. That brought in a lot of the land package, and we’ve completed four or five acquisitions on top of

that. Then we’ve done some staking and acquired some patented land.

Everything we’re picking up right now is under the airborne survey we completed, which covers around two-thirds of the belt.”

Pistol Bay kick-started its exploration efforts across the newly consolidated Confederation Lake package earlier this year. The company noted previous discovery success based on “deep-penetrating, time-domain ground surveys in areas of favourable geology,” and thus opted to contract a helicopter-borne versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) survey.

The 2,100 line km survey is designed to target a “depth slice” that has reportedly only been investigated by

large-loop ground electromagnetic (EM) systems over “very limited areas.”

“The key thing about the VTEM is that it can essentially confirm all the conductive responses that identify the historic showings,” Desjardins explains. “It’s also showing potentially significant continuous conductive extensions, which is really key for us. There are also new clusters of conductive targets we’ve seen away from the known zones.”

Pistol Bay received initial results from its VTEM work in late August.

It noted “a number of anomalies where no mineralized zones were previously known,” and pointed out it now has “complete coverage of the land package.”

The company is hopeful of a cash infusion later this year via a joint venture agreement with major Rio Tinto (LON: RIO; NYSE: RIO) on the C-5 uranium property in the Athabasca Basin. Rio has earned a 75% interest and can cement a 100% stake by paying Pistol Bay under the following schedule: $1.5 million by year end; and $2 million

by Dec. 2018. Pistol Bay will retain a 5% net profits interest.

Desjardins says that he’s also exploring potential joint venture relationships across the Confederation Lake package.

“We think building a central processing facility could emerge as a viable option, but we think there’s the exploration upside across the land package for a discovery with real size and grade,” Desjardins comments.

“The great thing about the new zones, and all the new information we have, is that you can piece together a land package for a partner that has known drill intercepts, as well as the blue-sky upside from the VTEM. So there’s lots of ways we can package it,” he concludes.

On Sept. 11, Pistol Bay revealed it has identified “numerous new conductors” after receiving the final VTEM survey results.

Desjardins adds that the company has had “early-stage discussions” with potential partners, with all areas of Confederation Lake available for joint ventures.

Pistol Bay has traded within a 52week window of 4¢ and 12¢, and closed at 5¢ per share at the time of writing. The company has 43 million shares outstanding for a $2 million press-time market capitalization.

he sustained strength in most precious and base metals this year reached breakout levels in September, as a weakening U.S. dollar and renewed optimism over Chinese metal demand pushed metal and mineral prices to new highs.

At press time, the spot gold price had surged to an 11-month high of US$1,336.60

BY JOHN CUMMING per oz., up US$47.90, or 3.7%, in the last 30 jcumming@northernminer.com days, up 9% in the last two months and up 17% this calendar year. Gold briefly touched US$1,356.60 per oz. on Sept. 8, before pulling back over the next two days, and seeming endling a two-month run-up from the US$1,211 per oz. level on July 10.

While the U.S. has enjoyed soaring stock markets, a growing economy and falling unemployment levels since Donald Trump was sworn in as U.S. president, the U.S. dollar has steadily lost strength throughout 2017, and has seen an accelerated decline since July, which observers attribute to the U.S. Federal Reserve not raising interest rates and gridlock in Washington, D.C. — which derailed health care reform and threatens to scuttle planned tax cuts. The U.S. Dollar Index is down more than 10% this year to 91.861 at press time.

Gold’s role as a safe-haven asset has once again come into play, as the standoff between North Korea and the U.S. and its allies over North Korea’s nuclear missile program reaches new levels of tension, and the prospects of military confrontation become less far-fetched. Gold prices gained US$5 to US$10 per oz. after major North Korean missile and nuclear tests.

This September, gold analysts are arguing that the good news for gold has already been baked into the price, and point to US$1,360 per oz. as a new ceiling for the gold price for the rest of the year, even if U.S. Fed rate hikes are put off over and over again. An introduction of a goods and services tax in India is also seen as suppressing gold demand in the Indian jewellery sector for the rest of the year, in what is usually a period of strong gold demand.

With many proposed and operating gold mines in recent years using a US$1,200 per oz. base case for economic decision-making, today’s gold price in the US$1,350 per oz. range is one a lot of miners would be happy to see sustained in the months ahead, particularly Canadian operators, who have benefitted from the weaker Canadian dollar since the oil price crash in the latter half of 2014.

Silver prices have closely tracked gold prices during their recent runup, with the spot price at US$17.83 per oz. at press time, after peaking at US$18.21 per oz. on Sept. 8 — still below prices seen as recently as April, and well off from the 52-week high of US$19.84 in September 2016.

This renewed strength is also seen in platinum and palladium, which have risen to US$1,002 per oz. and US$933 per oz. at press time.

The weakening U.S. dollar and relatively strong imports into China of crude oil, iron ore, metallurgical coal, thermal coal and copper in August have helped support prices of all five commodities — especially iron ore and thermal coal, which have seen price increases exceeding 40% in recent months. Chinese demand for iron ore weighs particularly heavily on its price, as the country imports two-thirds of all seaborne iron ore.

Spot copper prices have risen from US$2.50 per lb. in May to trade above US$3 per lb. since Aug. 29, peaking at a three-year high of US$3.12 per lb. on Sept. 4.

Base metal analysts argue that metal prices have had a good run and the rally is due to taper off, as is the rally in major base metal miners, particularly in the copper market, where prices are driven increasingly by speculators, rather than market fundamentals. TNM

ICSG says copper production declining FACTS ‘N’ FIGURES

| Slowdown in Chile takes a chunk out of global supply

The following is an edited summary by the International Copper Study Group (ICSG) of world copper supply and demand from its August 2017 Copper Bulletin. The full suite of data is available in the ICSG’s August 2017 Copper Bulletin, for sale at www.icsg.org.

W

orld mine production has declined 3% in the first five months of 2017, with concentrate production declining 2.5% and solvent extraction-electrowinning (SXEW) declining 4.5%.

The decline in world mine production owed to: • A 10% (220,000 tonnes copper) decline in production in Chile, the world’s biggest copperproducing country, negatively affected by the strike at the Escondida mine and lower output from Codelco mines.

• A decline in Canada and Mongolia concentrate production of 20% and 21%, due to lower grades in planned mining sequencing.

• A 14% decline in Indonesian concentrate production, with output constrained by a temporary ban on concentrate exports that started in January and ended in April.

• An 11% decline in U.S. production, due to lower ore grades, lower mining rates and unfavourable weather conditions at the beginning of the year.

These reductions in output were partly offset by a 11% and 6% rise in Mexican (concentrate and SX-EW) and Peruvian (concentrate) output, with both countries benefitting from new and expanded capacity that was not yet fully available in the same period of last year.

On a regional basis, production rose 1% in Asia, 4% in Europe (including Russia) and 5% in Oceania, while declining 6% in the Americas and 4% in Africa.

World refined production stayed unchanged in the first five months of 2017, with primary production (electrolytic and electrowinning) declining 2% and secondary production (from scrap) increasing 12%: • Increased availability of scrap lifted world secondary refined production, notably in China.

• The main contributor to growth in world-refined production was China (6.5% increase), followed

by Mexico (11%), where expanded SX-EW capacity contributed to refined production growth.

• However, overall growth was partly offset by a 13.5% decline in Chile, the second-largest refined copper producer, where both primary electrolytic refined production and electrowinning production declined.

• Production also declined in the third and fourth world-lead-

ing refined copper producers, namely, Japan (in electrolytic production from concentrates) and in the United States (mainly in electrowinning output).

• On a regional basis, refined output increased in Asia (4.5%) and in Europe, including Russia (2.5%), while declining in the Americas (10.5%) and in Oceania (8%), and remaining unchanged in Africa.

World apparent refined usage declined 3% in the first five months of 2017: • Preliminary data indicates that although world ex-China usage might have grown slightly by 0.5%, this growth was more than offset by a 5.5% decline in Chinese apparent demand.

• Chinese apparent demand (excluding changes in unreported stocks) declined 5.5%, because although refined copper production increased 6.5%, net imports of refined copper declined 30%.

• Among other major copper using countries, usage increased in India and Japan, but declined in the U.S. and Germany.

• On a regional basis, usage declined in all regions: in Africa by 3%, in Asia by 3% (when excluding China, Asia usage increased by 4.5%), in the Americas by 0.5% and in Europe by 5%.

World refined copper balance for the first five months of 2017 indicates a surplus of 15,000 tonnes (including revisions to data previously presented): • This is mainly due to the decline in Chinese apparent demand (China represents 48% of the world copper-refined usage).

Copper prices and stocks: • Based on the average of stock estimates provided by independent consultants, China’s bonded stocks increased 100,000 tonnes in the first five months of 2017 from the year-end 2016 level.

Bonded stocks increased 140,000 tonnes in the same period of last year.

• A s of the end of July, copper stocks held at the major metal exchanges (LME, COMEX, SHFE) totalled 630,262 tonnes, an increase of 91,189 tonnes (17%) from stocks held at the end of December 2016. Compared with December 2016 levels, stocks were down at the LME (-5%), and up at SHFE (22%) and COMEX (93%).

• The average LME cash price for July 2017 was US$5,978.60 per tonne, up from the June average of US$5,699.48 per tonne.

• The 2017 high and low copper prices through the end of July were US$6,347 (on July 31) and US$5,466 per tonne (on May 8), and the year average was US$5,781.72 per tonne (19% above 2016 annual average).

Eldorado threatens to suspend investments in Greece

PERMITTING

| CEO says gov’t ‘neither engages constructively with us, or actively supports our investments’

BY TRISH SAYWELL

tsaywell@northernminer.com

ldorado Gold (TSX: ELD; NYSE: EGO) will suspend all investment at its operating mines, development projects and exploration assets in Greece due to chronic delays in permits and licences that have negatively impacted the company’s project schedules and costs.

President and CEO George Burns said the delay in issuing routine permits and licences for the construction and development of its Skouries and Olympias development projects; the lack of approval for its Perama Hill environmental impact assessment, which has been outstanding for the last three years; and the government’s intention to launch arbitration proceedings against Eldorado’s Greek subsidiary, without giving any explanation why, has pushed it to the brink.

The suspension will take effect on Sept. 22 and will include the company’s underground Stratoni silver-lead-zinc mine, which operates on the Halkidiki peninsula in northern Greece. The company anticipates it will have to spend $30 million initially to prepare for care and maintenance (C&M) activities across its Greek assets, after which sustaining C&M expenses should run at $25 million a year.

“Please know that this decision is not one we have taken lightly and not one I imagined having to take in the first five months of my tenure as president and CEO of Eldorado Gold, but unfortunately, since we were last in this position back in January 2016, there has been little change to the Tsipras government’s attitude towards our significant investment,” Burns told analysts and investors on conference call from Athens.

“I don’t think I need to remind any of you just how poorly our share price has performed as a result of the constant delays and public statements by certain members of the Greek government over the past two years,” he said. “It is extremely unfortunate, not to mention completely perplexing, to find ourselves at this impasse, particularly when Eldorado Gold has been busy creating jobs, paying taxes, generating export revenues and contributing to Greece’s long-term economic growth.”

Burns, who joined Eldorado Gold on Feb. 1 and assumed the role of CEO at the end of April, after holding senior positions at both Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) and Centerra Gold (TSX: CG), didn’t mince words.

“Prime Minister Tsipras repeatedly assures the capital markets that Greece is open for business … Tsipras was saying to potential French investors in Athens: ‘Invest in Greece, you won’t regret it.’ But how can I say this is the case, when the government neither engages constructively with us, or actively supports our investments.”

Burns continued that investors like Eldorado Gold need clarity of regulation and a supportive government to build an industry.

“The fact is, clear and sound regulation helps us do our jobs,” he explained.

“Approvals must not be held hostage to political posturing or other agendas put forward by a vocal minority,” he said.

“I urge the Greek government to rely on the policies, procedures and laws in place to expedite the approvals needed for investment projects.”

The most immediate outstanding permits that are required and to which the company is “legally entitled and are overdue” include the paste plant and operating permit at Olympias, and an electromechanical installation permit for the mill at Skouries. “Should we not receive these permits, we will be suspending our investment and mov-

ing into full care and maintenance mode.”

In a press conference in Athens, Burns noted that the international marketplace views Eldorado’s investment as a “litmus test for foreign investment in the country.”

“In addition to the nearly US$2 billion we paid to acquire the assets in 2012, Eldorado has since invested over US$1 billion in developing the Skouries and Olympias assets,” he said. “This figure could be double if we have the support and cooperation of the Greek government.”

Eldorado employs 2,400 employees, contractors and suppliers in Greece.

Some analysts applauded the move.

“This is a decision that Eldorado should have made a long time ago and we fully support it, as spending money on projects where you have no certainty of timing on permits or first production makes no economic sense,” Kerry Smith of Haywood Securities said in a client note.

“While there is still time to remedy this situation, we doubt a government that has dragged its feet for this long will now approve pending permits, or be quick to remedy the situation. However, this decision stops the spending until clarity is given, and probably the only voice the Greek government might listen to would be the ‘pot-banging’ by the soon-to-be-unemployed workers should they get more vocal, or the Greek Supreme Court, which could force the government to actually file the arbitration.”

Smith estimates that Eldorado’s Greek assets account for about $2.9 billion of the company’s $5.1-billion valuation and calculates the book value for the Greek assets is US$2.3 billion, or 57%.

In a question-and-answer discussion with analysts on the conference call, Burns confirmed that Eldorado still doesn’t know what the arbitration is about and says there has been no formal notification — just statements by the Ministry of Energy and Environment that they will start the process shortly.

“We’re trying to open the door with the government to work through these issues,” Burns said.

“We definitely need the permits in order to continue to invest — it’s a definite ‘have to have.’ Beyond that, this arbitration thing that has been hanging on since April is a huge overhang on our stock … once we know what the issue is, we’d welcome the opportunity to try to resolve it directly.”

Eldorado has had a troubled history in Greece.

In August 2015, the company suspended activities in the country when the government suspended technical studies on Skouries and Olympias. Eldorado later received injunctions from the Council of State in October 2015, allowing it to continue operations. In January 2016, Eldorado suspended development at Skouries due to difficulties with the government. It later received approval of a technical study allowing it to restart construction.

Jamie Koutsoukis and Donald Carter of Moody’s Investors Service

called Eldorado’s plans to suspend investment “credit negative” because “the incremental production expected from the developments is necessary for the company to de-lever.”

“Adjusted debt-to-EBITDA — at June 30, 2017 — was 4.3 times, which is high relative to its peers,” the analysts wrote. “Also, increased production from new development in Greece was expected to reduce Eldorado’s concentration risk, which will remain elevated for longer than expected with the suspension of investment.”

Moody’s notes the company’s two mines in Turkey — Kisladag and Efemcukuru —account for more than 85% of production, and Kisladag makes up 65% of Eldorado’s cash gross profits.

“Execution risks associated with Eldorado’s expansion plans in Greece are significant in our view,” Koutsoukis and Carter noted.

“Completing two relatively sizeable, multi-year projects on time, within

budget and at planned production levels is challenging, compounded by the location of its key development projects in Greece, where it has struggled with an uncooperative government.”

If Eldorado doesn’t get clarity from the government before the Sept. 22 deadline, Burns said, management has several options.

“We have used the courts in Greece when necessary to help us with permitting. That option is still available to us and we will use it if necessary, and we have the right to trigger arbitration ourselves … so we have some mechanisms available to us,” he said during the question-and-answer session. “My preferred option is to sit across from government and work through the issues, but if that doesn’t work, we would resort to the courts. We have found the legal system in Greece to be fair and reliable. We’ve had 18 court decisions, and they’ve ruled in our favour, so if necessary we’ll resort to those to get the permits that are legally due.”

Shares of Eldorado fell 6% to $2.34 on the news. Over the last year the company’s shares have ranged from a low of $2.24 (August 2017) and a high of $5.63 (September 2016).

Several analysts trimmed their target prices on the stock after the announcement. Michael Siperco of Macquarie Research cut his target price to $3 per share from $5 and BMO’s Andrew Kaip lowered his target price from $4 per share to $2.50. CIBC’s Cosmos Chiu trimmed his target price to US$2.25 from US$2.50. TNM

Nevsun halves Bisha mine life, revises Timok study plans COPPER-GOLD

| New CEO’s priorities are to allocate capital efficiently

BY TRISH SAYWELL tsaywell@northernminer.com

N

ewly appointed CEO Peter Kukielski hasn’t wasted time putting his imprint on Nevsun Resources (TSX: NSU; NYSE-MKT: NSU).

The Stanford University-educated civil engineer, who joined the company in May, is moving quickly to put his expertise to work in reassessing Nevsun’s strategic and capital allocation plans.

On a September conference call, the mining executive told analysts and investors that his decision to join the company “was an easy one,” given its “talented people” and “two great assets” — the Bisha copperzinc mine in Eritrea and the Timok copper-gold project in Serbia.

But the CEO, whose track record includes managing global mining assets in senior positions at larger companies — such as ArcelorMittal, Teck Resources and Falconbridge — is shifting gears at Bisha and Timok so that he can allocate capital efficiently, while expanding and diversifying the company’s asset base.

After a strategic review that included several trips to Serbia and Eritrea, Kukielski has revised the company’s time line to complete a prefeasibility study (PFS) on Timok until the first quarter of 2018 — rather than September 2017, as previously scheduled — and is trimming

capital spending on Timok this year to US$54 million from US$62 million. Nevsun will provide the market with an interim update on Timok in an updated preliminary economic assessment before the end of October, he said.

The PFS will cut the time needed for a feasibility study, he said. The company will build a decline at Timok in this year’s fourth quarter, and Nevsun targets production in 2021.

At Bisha, the company has decided it will only fund the capital for a four-year open-pit, rather than the larger, eight-year operation envisioned initially.

“The capital allocation decisions announced this quarter are evidence of our action plan being put to work,” Kukielski said on the conference call.

“These include, first, the decision for the most prudent allocation of capital to proceed with a smaller open pit at Bisha, with a shorter mine life. Next, resetting the timetable to deliver a PFS for Timok in early 2018 to complete the appropriate level of front-end engineering. Each of these decisions support our most important strategic initiative, which is the development of Timok and the start of mining in 2021.”

Changes to the company’s 2017 capital expenses include increasing sustaining capital at Bisha by US$24 million to US$41 million (funded from operating cash flow) to buy

heavy mining equipment.

On the exploration front, Kukielski confirmed that Nevsun “will continue prudently investing in exploration as a driver of growth across the company.”

In Serbia, he said, management is excited about exploration opportunities in its portfolio. It has seen encouraging results in Timok’s Upper Zone and allocated more capital to an expanded exploration program targeting high-grade discoveries near surface. The Lower Zone also has potential, he noted, although the mineralization depth has challenges.

Other earlier-stage and smallerscale projects in Serbia and further south in Macedonia will be evaluated, he said, and exploration dollars allocated “in a disciplined manner.”

At Bisha, Nevsun will finish this year’s exploration program “by evaluating high-priority greenfield targets,” he said. “We have announced a large number of other targets in our large licenced area, and I expect we will fund regional exploration in 2018. Within 20 km of the mill, we have nearly 58 million tons of regional resources. Converting regional resources into reserves remains a long-term target, and with existing mill infrastructure to leverage, it makes sound business sense.”

Kukielski says regional exploration spending at Bisha will stay the same at US$9 million for 2017. At Timok, the company has completed infill drilling (30,000 metres), but started a US$4-million, 10,000-metre drill program to look for nearby, high-grade Upper Zone-type deposits, with two rigs drilling since June 30. It has spent US$9 million this year drilling in the Lower Zone. It has drilled 29,000 metres to date and is targeting 16,000 metres of Lower Zone drilling this year, with 11 rigs drilling since June 30.

The company owns 100% of Timok’s high-grade Upper Zone, a high-sulphidation, semi-massive sulphide zone containing epithermal pyrite and copper sulphide. The Upper Zone contains indicated resources of 1.7 million tonnes grading 12.5% copper and 10.4 grams gold per tonne, and inferred resources of 35 million tonnes grading 2.9% copper and 1.7 grams gold. The larger and lower-grade Lower Zone does not yet

Nevsun Resources’ Bisha copper-zinc mine in Eritrea. NEVUN RESOUCES

have a resource. Nevsun will own 46% of the zone once Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) finishes its earn-in.

Nevsun’s strategic plans were unveiled in conjunction with its second-quarter results.

The debt-free company ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of US$171 million after selling 34.3 million payable lb. zinc in zinc concentrate at C1 cash costs of US92¢ per payable lb. sold, and 7.7 million payable lb. copper in copper concentrate at C1 cash costs of US$1.59 per payable lb. sold.

For zinc, the company expects to produce 190 million to 210 million lb. zinc (previously 200 million to 230 million lb.) at zinc cash costs of between US70¢ and US90¢ per payable lb. sold (no change). For copper, Nevsun says it will produce 20 million to 30 million lb. (previously 10 million to 20 million lb.) at copper cash costs of US$1.55 to US$1.75 per payable lb. sold (previously US90¢ to US$1.10).

Nevsun recorded a US$70-million, non-cash, pre-tax writedown of Bisha in the second quarter. The impairment included long-term stockpiles of US$59 million and mobile equipment of US$11 million.

Mining a smaller pit over four years means that proven and probable reserves at Bisha and a satellite pit called Harena have declined from 22.2 million tonnes to 9.6 million tonnes, grading 6.16% zinc, 1.05% copper, 0.69 gram gold and 44.9 grams silver. At a 2.4-million-tonne annual processing rate, the Bisha operation has a reserve mine life to mid-2021 (before the plan in 2025).

In the new technical report, the company forecasts 70% copper recovery to copper concentrate and 77% zinc recovery to zinc concentrate, down from the previous reserve estimate of 85% and 80%.

Bisha, 40% of which is owned by the State of Eritrea, has 28 million tonnes of measured and indicated resources and 31 million tonnes of inferred within 20 km of the existing mill, the company noted, adding that while results of both the Harena and Bisha underground scoping studies were marginal, “converting regional resources into reserves remains a long-term objective.”

The large, high-grade volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit at Bisha, 150 km west of Asmara, was built from 2008 to 2010 for US$250 million. Until mid-2013, the mine produced low-cost, gold-silver doré from processing oxide ore. Through a US$110-million copper expansion project, throughput expanded to 2.4 million tonnes per year of supergene ore and the product switched to copper concentrate. Nevsun started commissioning Bisha’s zinc expansion plant, built for US$77 million, in June 2016. In addition to the main deposit, a satellite deposit called Harena lies 6 km to Bisha’s south.

Analyst reactions to the news was mixed. Matt Murphy of Macquarie said that “while the update negatively impacted our valuation, the new plan is more achievable and appears superior for near-term free cash flow, versus our previous model.

“Timok remains financeable without raising new equity under our assumed [$550 million] capex and

[50% project] financing structure.

Bisha needs to continue to improve to meet our expectations, however.”

Murphy lowered his target price 16% to $3.60 per share, but kept his “neutral” rating.

Alex Terentiew of BMO Capital Markets downgraded Nevsun to “market perform” and cut his target price from $4 per share to $3.25.

“Management reduced Bisha’s mine life based on the decision to no longer consider mining the larger, phase-nine open pit, primarily due to increased operational risk associated with increased capital spending, reduced recoveries and the operational complexity of nearly doubling the ore and waste movement to meet feed and stripping requirements,” he says in a research note.

“Management, it seems, may be taking a more conservative approach. Given the elevated risks and significant capex spending that would have been required for the previously considered open-pit expansion, it seems management is taking a more disciplined, riskfocused approach to ensure that the Timok project, its priority, is being executed appropriately.”

Haywood Securities’ Pierre Vaillancourt kept his “hold” rating on the stock, and noted that Timok, one of the highest-grade, copper-gold development projects in the world, is a major part of the company’s future, and would “add 280 million lb. in annual copper production within five years and bring more of the company’s focus to Serbia.”

He also pointed to political risk and human rights abuses in Eritrea.

“We rate Eritrea as one of the most sociopolitically sensitive countries in the world for a mining company to operate in: the country is a oneparty state in which national legislative elections have been repeatedly postponed, according to Human Rights Watch, and the Eritrean government’s human rights record is considered among the worst in the world.”

Vaillancourt pointed to a June 2016 report by the United Nations Human Rights Council that “accused Eritrea’s government of extrajudicial executions, torture, indefinitely prolonged national service and forced labour, and indicated that incidents of sexual harassment, rape and sexual servitude by state officials are also widespread.”

The mining analyst noted that although Eritrea’s conf lict with neighbouring Ethiopia “appears to have subsided since the border war ended in 2011, tensions remain high, and the potential for renewed aggression remains.”

Vaillancourt added that “many investors have avoided Nevsun and will not invest in the stock for ethical reasons.”

After news on Aug. 9 of Nevsun’s quarterly results, the cut to Bisha’s mine life and the delay to the Timok PFS, the company’s shares slipped 3% to $3.29, followed by a 16.41% — or 54¢ drop — to $2.75 per share, after the conference call.

At press time, Nevsun’s shares traded at $2.67, within a 52-week range that touched a $4.63 high on Jan. 13, 2017, and a 52-week low of $2.49 on Aug. 10, 2017. TNM

CleanTeq signs offtake agreement with Chinese company TECHNOLOGY METALS

| Beijing Easpring among world’s largest producers of cathode material

BY TRISH SAYWELL

R

tsaywell@northernminer.com

obert Friedland, co-chairman of CleanTeq Holdings (ASX: CLQ) and a major shareholder, with 16% of the company’s outstanding shares, has signed an offtake deal with a Chinese company to supply hydrated cobalt sulphate and nickel sulphate products from its Syerston cobalt-nickel-scandium project in Australia’s New South Wales.

Beijing Easpring Material Technology is one of the world’s largest producers of cathode material for the lithium-ion battery industry, servicing both Chinese and international markets. Easpring produces nickelcobalt-manganese and lithium cobalt oxide cathode chemistries, and its clients include major lithium-ion battery makers Sony, Samsung SDI and LG Chemical.

The binding five-year purchase agreement will represent 20% of Syerston’s annual cobalt and nickel sulphate tonnage, and kicks in from the start of commercial production.

Under the agreement, pricing will link directly to London Metal Exchange and LMB quoted metal pricing for nickel and cobalt, with the “sulphate premia” agreed on quarterly based on the prevailing market price (the cost of converting metal units to sulphate form is often represented in the market price by a sulphate premia paid over and above the contained metal value).

In addition, the agreement will convert to a life-of-mine offtake if Easpring acquires a minimum 25% interest in the project, on terms to be agreed. The two companies also plan to investigate a potential partnership on downstream products, including battery-cathode production.

Syerston is one of the largest and highest-grade scandium deposits in the world, and one of the largest and highest-grade sources of cobalt outside Africa.

Sixty-five percent of all global cobalt production comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and, of that, 45% is produced by artisanal miners, some of them children. Ninety-five percent of the world’s cobalt is made as a byproduct from copper and nickel mining. Syerston, 350 km west of Sydney, will be the first mine ever developed that produces high-purity nickel and cobalt sulphate.

Li Jianzhong, Easpring’s CEO, said that the demand for lithium-ion batteries is growing rapidly due to the global shift towards electric vehicles.

“The partnership with CleanTeq for the supply of these critical raw materials is a part of Beijing Easpring’s strategy to ensure that we remain a leading cathode supplier to the global battery industry,” he said in an Aug. 31 news release.

According to CleanTeq, the lithium-ion battery industry already consumes 50% of global cobalt supply and demand is expected to soar as the world switches from petrol and diesel cars to electric vehicles.

In July, Britain followed several European nations in declaring a ban on the sale of vehicles containing internal combustion engines from 2040.

Cobalt sulphate and nickel sulphate make up the lion’s share of the raw material by cost in lithium batteries. By some estimates, just 4% of the raw material by cost in a lithium battery is actually lithium, while 15%, plus or minus, is cobalt sulphate and 80% is nickel sulphate.

“THE PARTNERSHIP WITH CLEANTEQ FOR THE SUPPLY OF THESE CRITICAL RAW MATERIALS IS PART OF BEIJING EASPRING’S STRATEGY TO ENSURE THAT WE REMAIN A LEADING SUPPLIER OF CATHODE TO THE GLOBAL BATTERY INDUSTRY.” LI JIANZHONG CEO, BEIJING EASPRING

According to figures from CleanTeq, the industry has seen a 20% annual cost reduction in electric vehicle battery pack systems over the last five years, and at the current rate of improvement, electric vehicle drivetrains are forecast to surpass the cost competitiveness of combustion engines within the next five to 10 years.

“China is pushing for an aggressive, California-style, Zero Emission Vehicle program: 8% electric vehicles by 2018, and 12% by 2020,” the company outlined in a corporate presentation in July. “Given a 1% electric-vehicle adoption rate in China today, that target translates to a 12x increase in the number of electric vehicles to be sold in China.”

A prefeasibility study in October 2016 estimated Syerston could produce 3,100 tonnes cobalt and 18,200 tonnes of nickel a year for at least two decades, with an initial capital expense of A$906 million (US$720 million).

CleanTeq expects to complete a definitive feasibility study on Syerston before year-end, and has already secured long-lead items. In July, it bought two autoclaves from Vale International S.A. — a subsidiary

Project financing shouldn’t be too difficult, given CleanTeq’s ties to China. Pengxin Mining owns

16% of the company, and is part of the Pengxin Group, a privately held, Chinese conglomerate based in Shanghai, with interests in mining, real estate, construction, water treatment and dairy farms.

CleanTeq also notes that cobalt has been one of the best performing metals, with prices increasing 160% since January 2016.

The company will use proprietary, continuous resin-in-pulp technology to process the ore and produce nickel and cobalt sulphate for batterycathode production. (Scandium will be used in lightweight aluminum alloys for transportation markets.)

The project has proven reserves of 55 million tonnes grading 0.71% nickel, 0.10% cobalt and 640 grams scandium per tonne. Probable reserves total 41 million tonnes grading 0.58% nickel, 0.10% cobalt and 557 grams scandium per tonne.

The resource is shallow (5 metres to 40 metres) and extends over a 2 km horizon. Ore reserves should be sufficient for a 39-year mine life, CleanTeq says, and over 1,300 drill holes have helped the company understand the resource.

The project’s environmental impact statement has been approved and the company has received consent for a 2.5-million-tonne-per-year mining and processing operation.

Andrew Mikitchook, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets, said in a client note that the offtake agreement “represents an important catalyst in contributing to the development financing package, as well as a vote of confidence in the project by a key battery-cathode producer.”

Mikitchook has a A$1.40-pershare target on the stock. At press time, CleanTeq was trading at A89¢ per share, and has a A$432-million market capitalization.

As of March 31, the Melbournebased company had cash of A$92.7 million and A$3 million in liabilities. TNM

Probe Metals identifies shallow discoveries GOLD

robe Metals (TSXV: PRB; US-OTC: PROBF) has found shallow gold mineralization at its Val-d’Or East project in northern Quebec.

The junior explorer reported to the market in August that expansion and exploration drilling had returned intercepts of 1.7 grams gold per tonne over 10.4 metres starting from 122 metres downhole and 4.1 grams gold over 3 metres starting from 219 metres downhole in hole PC-17-156, 200 metres south of the Main Zone at the New Beliveau deposit, and 700 metres south of the former New Beliveau mine.

Probe says the mineralization may represent the lateral extension of the main dike zone mined at Beliveau. The mineralization in the discoveries is also similar to the Beliveau deposit, and is characterized by sulphide-bearing, quartztourmaline veins associated with mineralized diorite dikes.

Probe’s wholly owned New Beliveau deposit — 25 km east of the city of Val-d’Or — sits beneath the past-producing Beliveau mine, which Cambior operated from 1989 to 1993. The mine produced 170,000 oz. gold at 3.15 grams gold per tonne.

“Being only 20 minutes from one of Canada’s more prolific gold mining camps, Val-d’Or is remarkably under-explored,” David Palmer, Probe’s president and CEO, told

| Junior explorer adds fifth rig at New Beliveau in northern Quebec

The Northern Miner. “Most of the areas we are exploring have never had any form of ground geophysics until we showed up, and all of our discoveries come from these first geophysical surveys. Now it is just a question of expanding the surveys over the rest of the project to see what else we can find.”

George Topping of Industrial Alliance Securities was impressed by the company’s latest news.

“Probe continues its record of having discoveries in every release, this time with shallow discoveries 200 metres south of the main New Beliveau deposit,” the research analyst said in a client note.

The drill hole, 200 metres south of the Main Zone, was one of 27 holes for which Probe released assay results on Aug. 16. Other highlights included the best drill intercept to date in the North Zone. That hole, 500 metres north of New Beliveau, returned an intersection of 2 grams gold over 59.9 metres at 100 metres deep, including an intercept of 8.2 grams gold over 7.2 metres.

Another cut 2.3 grams gold over 7.6 metres from 81 metres downhole, underlain by 39 metres grading 2.5 grams gold starting at 217 metres downhole, prompting Topping to note that the “stacked nature” of the hole means the Lower Zone would have an economic, 3-to-1 strip ratio.

Topping said the latest drill results average 1.9 grams gold over 9.5 metres at 144 metres deep for open-pittable ore.

“MOST OF THE AREAS WE ARE EXPLORING HAVE NEVER HAD ANY FORM OF GROUND GEOPHYSICS UNTIL WE SHOWED UP, AND ALL OF OUR DISCOVERIES ARE COMING FROM THESE FIRST GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS.” DAVID PALMER PRESIDENT AND CEO, PROBE METALS

“An open-pit resource in the North Zone is possible, as illustrated by the intersection of 2 grams gold over 59.9 metres at 127 metres deep,” he wrote. “This is economic at the implied 2-to-1 strip ratio, and with thick width, would add ounces quickly.”

Drill results from the latest press release, he added, “average 1.9 grams gold per tonne over 9.5 metres at a 144-metre depth for open-pittable ore [for the starter mine, <300 metres] and 1.6 grams gold per tonne over 11.3 metres at 560 metres deep for underground ore. The average grade for drilling to date is 2.9 grams gold per tonne over 11.6 metres at 153 metres deep for open-pittable ore and 4.9 grams gold per tonne over 5.4 metres at 468 metres deep for underground ore.”

Probe has drilled more than 47,500 metres of its 75,000-metre drill program this year and identified the New Beliveau deposit mineralization over an expanded area of 650 metres by 450 metres, to

more than 900 metres deep.

“The results have been exactly what we hoped for and show continuity within the mineralized system,” Palmer said. “Not only should we be able to expand the boundaries of the previous resource block model but we are now seeing this mineralized trend over kilometres of strike length, and this gives the potential for multiple zones, like the discoveries to the south.”

Probe expects to finish an updated resource estimate before the end of the year.

“In addition to pushing out the boundaries of the current 43-101 resource, I hope that some or all of these discoveries can be included in the updated resource estimate,” Palmer said.

The deposit hosts an inferred resource of 9.1 million tonnes grading 2.63 grams gold for 770,000 contained oz. gold. The resource, completed in November 2012, was based on a cut-off grade of 1 gram

gold from surface to 350 metres deep, and a cut-off grade of 1.5 grams gold at 350 metres deep. The resource includes the New Beliveau, Highway and North Zones.

Recently, Probe finished an induced-polarization geophysical program covering more than 500 line km on the Val-d’Or East property. The survey is the first large geophysics undertaken over the Pascalis gold trend and surrounding areas, Probe says. Processing is underway and the company plans to drill select targets.

“Concurrent with the resource drilling, we are advancing the regional exploration on the rest of the project area with the goal of generating drill-ready targets through this fall, for fall and/or winter drill programs,” Palmer said. “In such an underexplored part of the Val-d’Or camp, this could turn out to be a really exciting part of our overall program.”

At press time Probe’s shares were trading at $1.62 within a 52-week range of 99¢ to $2.18.

Topping has a “speculative buy” rating on the stock and a $2.50-pershare target. “As seen in the acquisition of Integra Gold by Eldorado Gold, there is clear appetite for Vald’Or assets, should a viable resource be proven.”

Tyron Breytenbach of Cormark Securities has a “buy” rating and a $2.15-per-share target.

G

reat Bear Resources (TSXV: GBR) is off to a strong start at its Dixie Lake gold project in western Ontario’s 28 million oz. gold Red Lake district.

After revising the project’s geological model, the company completed a 1,000-metre drill program to test the continuity of a historically known, gold-bearing structure.

With intercepts of 10.4 metres of 16.84 grams gold per tonne, including 1.1 metre of 130.1 gram gold, president and CEO Chris Taylor says the “proof-of-concept” drill program was the first step in determining whether Dixie Lake would become Great Bear’s flagship project.

“WE’RE NOT HOWE STREET PROMOTERS, THE COMPANY IS MORE DRIVEN

BY TECHNICAL RESULTS … WE LIKE TO SEE THE PROOF IN THE PUDDING, AND THAT COMES OUT OF DRILLING.” CHRIS TAYLOR PRESIDENT AND CEO, GREAT BEAR RESOURCES

“We’re pleased with how the results are stacking up, and we’re happy to focus on the project going forward,” Taylor says. “We see a structurally controlled, mineralized zone that cuts across all the geology and is essentially continuous. We don’t see the gaps that were interpreted in previous geological models, which means that Dixie Lake has the capacity to host a much bigger system than previously thought.”

Dixie Lake falls within the Red Lake greenstone belt — an easttrending package of volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive rocks that hosts Goldcorp’s (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) Red Lake gold mine and Pure Gold Mining’s (TSXV: PGM) Madsen gold project, 20 km and 10 km north, respectively, of Dixie Lake.

Similar to Red Lake and Madsen, the mineralization at Dixie Lake is hosted along eastern structures that acted as conduits for gold-rich fluids 2.7 billion and 2.9 billion years ago.

At Dixie Lake, previous explorers have traced mineralization for 1.4 km at surface and up to 500 metres deep.

The zones remain open along strike and at depth.

H

arte Gold (TSX: HRT; USOTC: HRTFF) has identified five anomalies within 15 km east and west of its Sugar deposit in northern Ontario that could host both gold and volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits (VMS), the company says.

“This property never ceases to uncover surprises,” says Stephen Roman, Harte’s president and CEO. Helicopter magnetometer and time domain electromagnetic surveys across the Sugar property — 80 km east of the Hemlo gold camp — pinpointed the targets, and the company is calling the strongest conductor to the west of the Sugar deposit the Eagle Zone.

“It looks exciting,” Roman says.

“It’s a big target, at least 650 metres long, and probably 20 or 30 metres wide. There is a lot of chalcopyrite and sphalerite on surface, so it’s obviously a good base metal, VMStype target.

“Once we finished our airborne the area sort of lit up, so we went to check it out on foot, and luckily enough, it’s not too far off a road, so it should be fairly easy to bring in a rig and drill a few holes to test it,” Roman says. “We have found another bunch of them east of the Sugar Zone that are more fly-in targets, where there is no infrastructure at all, so we will probably go in and do surface sampling there as well to see if we can find outcrop, and ascertain

what it looks like on surface.”

Meanwhile, Harte Gold is drilling the Sugar and Middle Zones with six drill rigs ahead of a resource update in the first quarter of 2018.

“This will be the first real update since 2012, so we are drilling furiously on both of those targets to do infill and down-dip drilling,”

Roman says. (Based on a July 2012 PEA, the Sugar Zone contained 980,900 tonnes grading 10.13 grams gold for 319,280 contained oz. gold in the indicated category and 580,500 tonnes grading 8.36 grams gold for 155,960 contained oz. gold of inferred.)

In light of the recent drill results, Great Bear expanded its land holdings at Dixie Lake to 71.1 sq. km to cover the northwest and southeast extensions of the prospective structure.

Taylor says that a historical drill hole, 2 km northwest of Dixie Lake’s Main Zone, speaks to the project’s “blue sky potential.” The hole returned 7 metres of 2 grams gold, including a 0.5-metre subinterval of 14.4 grams gold.

“Mineralization at Dixie Lake has size and grade potential, but how big it will be is unknown,”

regional system. There are a number of ways the project can grow, it just requires more work to figure it out.”

At Dixie Lake, our exploration thesis is to follow the gold structures — they’re the main targets and are widespread.”

Taylor says the company is driven by technical results.

“My background is in structural geology and ore controls, whereas Bob Singh — our vice-president of exploration — has over 20 years of experience working in the Red Lake area, so we bring a good skill set to the table,” he says. “We’re not Howe Street promoters, the company is more driven by technical results and a desire to succeed. We like to see the proof in the pudding, and that comes out of drilling.”

Great Bear became interested in Dixie Lake in late 2016, not only for its overlooked geological potential, but also for its road accessibility and year-round drilling. The company is planning a follow-up drill program in the coming months to expand the mineralization footprint at Dixie Lake’s Main Zone and test other targets.

The company will also use property geophysics and surface reconnaissance to find more targets for drilling.

Taylor says the company is fully funded for the upcoming program, having raised $420,000 in a private placement in July. The company issued 1.68 million units at 25¢ per unit, with each unit consisting of one share and one half warrant. Each warrant is exercisable at 35¢ per share for two years.

“Great Bear stands out amongst its peers. We have a tight share structure, with under 20 million shares outstanding and issued — and that’s a good position to be in during an advanced exploration program, where we generate these kinds of drill intercepts. We’re a good company to pay attention to.”

Shares of Great Bear have traded within a 52-week range of 12¢ to 50¢, and closed at 41¢ at press time. The company has under 15 million shares outstanding for a $5.8-million market capitalization. TNM

ONTARIO SNAPSHOT Juniors advance Ontario gold, copper, lithium projects Ontario’s long and prosperous mining history has allowed more than a few juniors to hit the filing cabinets to dust off old mining projects and try to revive them. Here’s a look at seven juniors advancing projects old and new across the province.

CADILLAC VENTURES Copper isn’t the first metal to come to mind when most people think of Ontario, but that’s exactly what Cadillac Ventures’ (TSXV: CDC; USOTC: CADIF) target is at its wholly owned, advanced Thierry project, 15 km west of Pickle Lake, Ontario.

Belgium’s Union Minière operated an open-pit and underground copper mine at Thierry from 1976 to 1982.

The property later saw exploration programs by various owners — including Iberian Minerals, Richview Resources and Cadillac — which together spent more than $31 million between 2002 and 2015 on drilling, surface programs and metallurgical studies. (Cadillac’s president and CEO Norman Brewster was formerly an interim CEO of Iberian Minerals.)

the newly accessed ore zone; and a water-treatment plant and ponds are to be commissioned by the end of September.

GoWest says it is working with Northern Sun Mining (acquired by privately held Regal Silver investments in April 2016) to close a transaction to operate and coown the Redstone mill in Timmins, where GoWest expects to send its first ore from Bradley in the fourth quarter, followed by commercial production starting in late 2018.

In December 2016, GoWest entered into a gold-sales agreement with PGB Timmins Holdings LP — an investment vehicle controlled

by Pandion Mine Finance LP — totalling up to US$17.6 million in four tranches over 12 months, as partial consideration for buying up to 65,805 oz. gold produced from Bradshaw and delivered to PGB. ­OREFINDERS RESOURCES Led by CEO Stephen Stewart —

who played a key role in launching Young Mining Professionals’ Toronto branch a few years ago — Orefinders Resources (TSXV: ORX; US-OTC: ORFDF) is focused on developing its Mirado gold property in Ontario’s Kirkland Lake gold camp.

The Mirado property has three former producing mines, including the South Zone, where Orefinders is completing a preliminary economic assessment to put an open-pit mine back into production.

place in the 1980s; and gold-rich volcanogenic, massive sulphide mineralization in the North Zone, where underground mining took place in the 1930s.

Orefinders says “all infrastructure is in place to resume a mining operation,” and that mining could begin in the near-term by excess milling capacity elsewhere in the Kirkland Lake region.

In June, veteran geologist Charles Beaudry joined Orefinders as vicepresident of exploration.

By mid-year, Orefinders had already sold 1,414 oz. gold from a bulk sample taken from old stockpiles at the Mirado mine, with the bulk sample grading 2 grams gold per tonne.

Orefinders is completing an updated resource calculation at Mirado and preliminary economic assessment, with an eye towards restarting the open-pit mine using toll milling.

Orefinders describes the Mirado property as divided by the Mirado fault, with two mineralization styles on each side: high-grade pyritic, stringer-stockwork in the South Zone, where open-pit mining took

PROSPER GOLD Vancouver-based Prosper Gold (TSXV: PGX; US-OTC: PRGCF) is headed up by president and CEO Peter Bernier and vice-president

of exploration Dirk TempelmanKluit, who were behind Richfield Ventures and its large Blackwater gold deposit in British Columbia.

Richfield was acquired by New Gold in 2011 for $500 million.

Prosper’s primary asset is its high-grade Ashley gold project in Ontario’s Matachewan area, where the company has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Ashley mine property and a 90% interest in the related Wydee and Matachewan claims.

The Ashley mine was the site of a mining operation from 1932 to 1937 that produced 50,099 oz. gold from 143,000 tonnes ore (10.97 grams gold per tonne) from the main Ashley vein, which strikes north, dips west at 30 to 50 degrees, and has been followed underground for 600 metres.

Prosper says historical surface exploration documents seven

The property’s main deposits — the Thierry mine and K1-1 — remain open at depth, and Cadillac says the 3 km distance between them is “largely untested.”

The last National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate was calculated in 2012, and it tallied 8.8 million measured and indicated tonnes grading 1.66% copper for 322 million contained lb. copper, plus 14.9 million inferred tonnes at 1.64% copper for 538 million contained lb. copper. Also present are low-grade, by-product nickel, gold, palladium silver and platinum.

The K1-1 deposit has an open-pittable, inferred resource of 53.6 million tonnes at 0.38% copper and 0.10% nickel for 449 million contained lb. copper, over a 1.2 km strike length.

A preliminary economic assessment of a revived, 15,000-tonne-perday operation at Thierry foresees a $500-million capital cost, 19% pre-tax internal rate of return and $380-million net present value, using a 6% discount rate.

In July 2016, Cadillac entered an option agreement with an arm’s length private Ontario company named Northern Fox Resources, whereby Northern Fox can earn a 70% interest in the Thierry property for $100,000 in cash, 6 million Northern Fox shares and $13.9 million in work on the project.

In September, Cadillac raised $600,000 via a warrant exercise, resulting in 12 million shares issued at a nickel apiece.

GOWEST GOLD Toronto-based GoWest Gold (TSXV: GWA) is focused on “building Timmins’ next gold mine” at its Bradshaw deposit north of Timmins, Ontario.

Bradley has an indicated resource of 2.1 million tonnes grading 6.19 grams per tonne gold for 422,000 contained oz. gold, plus 3.6 million inferred tonnes grading 6.47 grams for another 755,000 contained oz. gold.

The company reported in August that ramp development had exceeded 350 metres and was “closing in” on the first ore zone; two shifts were operating at the mine site around the clock, seven days a week; an ore sorter is expected to arrive at the site by the end of September; the company will soon take a 30,000-tonne bulk sample from JB 1860 BME Northern Miner (Phone) Re-Size_bbm.indd 1

In the latest drill results released on Sept. 6, intercepts from the Sugar Zone included 48.30 grams gold per tonne over 2.1 metres from 53.2 metres deep, and 10.13 grams gold over 2.5 metres, starting from 496 metres. Down-dip drilling below 500 metres returned a 3.4-metre intercept of 14.35 grams gold from 980 metres deep and 15.71 grams over 2.3 metres from 918 metres.

In the Middle Zone, just north of Sugar, infill drilling returned 13.02 grams gold over 4.5 metres from 725 metres downhole and 13.68 grams gold over 7 metres from 1056 metres downhole.

Harte notes that the work has brought Sugar Zone mineralization to within 300 metres of the Middle Zone, and suggests the zones could converge.

In addition to drill work in the main Sugar and Middle Zones, Harte has one rig active in the Wolf

Zone and another in the Fisher Zone. Preliminary results included 2.67 grams gold over 6.2 metres in the Wolf Zone. In the Lynx Zone, initial mineralization measured 3 grams over half a metre. Assays from the Fisher Zone are pending.

In terms of construction and underground development, Roman says, the company is making progress and is on track to build in the second quarter of 2018.

“We’ve got all the steel for the mill building and expect to complete this by the end of September, or early October,” he confirms.

“Then we’ll populate the building with various pieces of equipment, including the ball mill and the gravity circuit, and the float cells ... the idea is to put initial material through the mill by the end of April 2018.”

The company has committed over $10 million on long-lead items.

Building the ball mill is underway, with delivery and installation tar-

geted for year-end.

Meanwhile, underground mine development continues in the phase-one commercial production area. Three levels have been completed to the 155 level, and the remaining two are under development. About 30,000 tonnes of ore has been mined from the developed areas and is stockpiled on surface to be used as a source of feed during the plant start-up and commissioning, slated for the second quarter of next year.

As for permitting, Roman says he expects to complete the impact benefit agreement (IBA) in a

month. “It would be big news to have all that done,” he says, adding that some of the other permitting would flow from this because “the government wants to make sure you’ve got your IBA. “Right now we have our construction permit, our phase-one commercial production permit — which will allow us to do underground mine development for production — and we will need the final permit to turn the mill on,” he says. “We’re still on target to get those things by year-end.”

Mike Kozak of Cantor Fitzgerald says Harte “is in the “sweet spot,” with high-grade exploration results and a year-end resource increase

serving as near-term catalysts.”

Over the medium-term, he says, and “upon transition to production mid-2018, we expect the stock to re-rate higher.”

Kozak, who forecasts the company will deliver a resource for the Sugar and Middle Zones of 2 million oz. gold (at a grade of between 9 and 10 grams per tonne), has a “buy” rating on the stock and a $1.10-per-share target.

“Given Harte’s enviable combination of top-tier grade and favourable location (northern Ontario, Canada), the company is a strong takeover candidate and [has] multiple suitors, all with nearby operating mines.”

Geologist Robert Scott maps geology underground at Pure Gold Mining’s Madsen gold project in Ontario’s Red Lake mining camp. PURE GOLD MINING

Pure Gold to update Madsen PEA in Q3 P

ure Gold Mining (TSXV: PGM) has reached several milestones this year at its Madsen project in northwestern Ontario’s Red Lake district, and is on track to reach several more before the year comes to an end.

Madsen, which the firm says is one of the highest-grade, undeveloped gold deposits in the world, contains three historic mines, among them the Madsen mine, which produced 2.4 million oz. gold at an average grade of 9.9 grams gold per tonne. Infrastructure includes a permitted, 550-tonne-per-day mill and tailings facility.

In August, the junior announced that it had expanded the project’s indicated resource 48% to 5.8 million tonnes grading 8.9 grams gold per tonne for 1.65 million contained oz. gold. (Inferred resources add 587,000 tonnes at an average grade of 9.4 grams gold for 178,000 oz. gold.) The resource estimate used a cut-off grade of 4 grams gold per tonne.

The resource, which encompasses the Austin, South Austin, 8 Zone, McVeigh and A3 domains, will be updated in the fourth quarter, with mineralization from near-surface satellite targets, including Russet South (which it found in March, 1.5 km northeast of the old Madsen mine) and the Fork Zone. The resource will incorporate mineralization from the satellite targets for the first time.

A revised preliminary economic assessment (PEA) is due out in the third quarter. The previous PEA dates to April 2016.

The company has also reopened the Madsen portal and ramp. The portal, established in 1997, is 1 km from the mill and provides ramp access to the upper 150 vertical metres of mine workings.

The ramp declines in the footwall of the Madsen resource — extending for 1,080 linear metres from surface to just above three level — and provides access to the McVeigh, South Austin, Austin and A3 deposits. Drilling from underground began in July and will confirm grade and continuity in the four deposits, as well as target resource growth potential.

Underground access will also allow the company to undertake detailed underground geological mapping and sampling to refine the structural mineralization setting that has been defined by surface drilling.

On Sept. 5, Pure Gold released more results from its 70,000-metre surface and underground drill program.

The company reported that multiple drill holes collared underground from

the Madsen ramp intersected gold within the McVeigh deposit and outside the current resource. Drill hole 12 returned 48.4 grams gold over 6 metres and hole 4 cut 12.5 grams gold over 8.2 metres. Drill hole 5 returned 4.8 grams gold over 10.8 metres, extending known mineralization outside the current resource by more than 10 metres.

Drilling south of the Fork Zone intersected 7.5 grams gold over 1.1 metres in a 260-metre step out from hole 17-359, which returned 13.9 grams gold over 1.5 metres.

Other step-out drilling included hole 17-427, which cut 13.9 grams gold over 2 metres, and hole 17444, which intersected 5.4 grams gold over 7.3 metres, including 10.6 grams gold over 3.1 metres.

The drilling expanded mineralization in the shallow-plunging Fork Zone to more than a 700-metre strike length.

In the Austin zone, drill hole 17-454 targeted shallow gold mineralization outside the current resource. The hole intersected 32.5 grams gold over 2 metres at a vertical depth of 135 metres, about 180 metres up dip of the resource model. Drill hole 17-429, which

Tara Hassan of Haywood Securities said in a research note that the latest drill results “continue to support the potential for resource growth and a larger operation at Madsen.

“With a recent resource update [issued on August 2017], Pure Gold has outlined a larger resource at Madsen, but the results highlight potential to expand [the McVeigh and Austin zones] that are included in the PEA, as well as show upside at satellite targets like Fork, which were not included in the resource update.”

Michael Gray of Macquarie commented in a research note that underground ramp access is “paying off as a drill platform,” as “bonanza grades expand the McVeigh deposit resource margins.” He added that “there were six intersections with +8 grams gold at +1.5 metres that should lead to resource expansion.”

Gray sees PGM as the next Integra Gold. Its similarities include having an asset in a producing Canadian gold district, owning a

North American Palladium posts $8M profit in turnaround quarter PGM s

| Operational improvements and rising palladium prices boost profitability of Lac des Îles mine

BY LESLEY STOKES lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

N

orth American Palladium (TSX: PDL; US-OTC: PALDF) has marked its first profitable quarter since mid-2015, thanks to surging palladium prices and increased production at its Lac des Îles underground palladium mine near Thunder Bay, Ontario.

The company recorded net income of $7.9 million for the second quarter, compared to a $9.9-million loss in the comparable quarter last year.

North American Palladium president and CEO Jim Gallagher said during a conference call that the results reflect the company’s turnaround efforts since its financial and operational restructuring began two years ago.

“This is our first conference call in some time and the silence has been intentional, as we’ve focused on the turnaround of the company that is now largely complete,” Gallagher said. “We’ll continue to host calls, and will have a positive story to tell.”

For the quarter, the company saw a 43% increase in palladium pricing and a 41% increase in the metal sold year-over-year, leading to revenues of $70.3 million, compared to $30.4 million in the second quarter last year.

The company sold 53,982 oz. palladium at US$799 per oz. during the quarter.

of US$954.76 per oz. — its highest level since 2001 — and Gallagher says prices will keep rising.

“Demand is expected to continue to exceed supply over the next few years, driven by continued global

growth of automotive sales, tightening emission standards and a recent move back to gas engines, versus diesel,” he said. “Add this to the potential supply risk due to many challenges facing the South African mining industry, and you have most analysts forecasting higher palladium prices over the next few years.”

Production at Lac des Îles was up 66% to 5,002 tonnes per day during the quarter due to a switch in mining methods to sublevel shrinkage from longhole open stoping.

The open-stoping method left ore in pillars and created groundcontrol issues, the company said.

Gallagher said production at Lac des Îles should rise to 6,000 tonnes per day before year-end, with the addition of ore from low-grade stockpiles.

The company plans to boost pro-

duction at Lac des Îles to 10,860 tonnes per day, as outlined in a revised feasibility study published in June.

Surface-mining operations are also scheduled to resume in 2018, with ore production from the Sheriff pit for the first 16 months, followed by a pushback at the Roby pit for the rest of the 9.5-year mine life.

“We’ve received permits for the centre-line raise on the tailings facility and we’re well advanced in construction. We’ve already

started overburden removal from the small Sheriff open pit and are on track to produce by the start of the year,” Gallagher said. “These items will complete the operational turnaround and demonstrate the full value of the Lac des Îles mine.”

The revised feasibility study foresees an after-tax, $678-million cash flow resulting in a $470-million, after-tax net present value, assuming an 8% discount rate. All-in sustaining costs are an estimated US$527 per oz. palladium sold, compared to US$644 per oz., as reported in the second quarter.

North America Palladium has also broadened its exploration initiatives, with the acquisition of the Sunday Lake property from Impala Platinum Holdings (USOTC: IMPUY) and Transition Metals (TSXV: XTM; US-OTC: TNTMF) in June.

Magmatic-style mineralization at Sunday Lake has been outlined over 800-by-400 metres, with combined platinum and palladium grades ranging from 2 to 5 grams per tonne over a true thickness from several metres to 40 metres.

North American Palladium plans to spend $10 million annually for the next three years exploring Sunday Lake and its greenfield properties within 50 km of the Lac des Îles mill.

“Sunday Lake adds an asset located within trucking distance of the mine,” Gallagher said. “With the addition of Sunday Lake, along with our exploration portfolio, the company offers strong potential upside, which could lead to minelife extensions and possibly other Lac des Îles-type deposits.”

Shares of the company have traded in a 52-week range of $4.54 to $6.31, and closed at $6.17 at press time. The company has 58.1 million shares outstanding for a $342-million market capitalization. TNM

New Gold’s Rainy River gold mine under construction in northwestern Ontario in May 2017. NEW GOLD

New Gold reports ‘significant progress’ at Rainy River CONSTRUCTION

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

N

ew Gold (TSX: NGD; NYSEMKT: NGD) hopes developmental challenges are in the rearview mirror at its Rainy River gold project in northwestern Ontario. The company is advancing towards a production deadline this September.

New Gold had been plagued by cost overruns and delays during pit development, which was largely attributed to unexpected layers of peat and basal till. It seems back on track, however, after what president and CEO Hannes Portmann called “significant progress” in August.

| Company overcomes cost overruns and delays

The company reported in September that Rainy River’s mining rate averaged more than 125,000 tonnes per day in July, and jumped to over 135,000 tonnes per day in August. Processing facilities reportedly passed a “closed loop test with low-grade ore,” while the ball mill and semi-autogenous grinding mill ramped up to nameplate capacity.

New Gold estimates that the development capital cost from the beginning of this year to the targeted November commercial production date remains $515 million.

The company spent $160 million during the second quarter, which means it has $230 million in outstanding capital expenses

for the project.

The split on remaining capital includes 45% in mining and owner’s costs, and 45% in related earthworks, including completion of the starter tailings cell. The balance is reportedly related to the completion and commissioning of the process plant.

The company closed a US$173million, bought-deal financing in March to bridge Rainy River’s funding gap. The deal consisted of 61.6 million shares at US$2.80 each.

Rainy River is scheduled to produce 325,000 oz. per year over a 14-year life at all-in sustaining costs (AISCs) of US$670 per ounce. The operation is expected to generate between 50,000 and 60,000 oz. gold this year, at AISCs from US$1,200

ONTARIO SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOT From 11 gold-bearing veins on the property, including the Garvey vein, 1.3 km northwest of Ashley, which produced a 24-tonne bulk sample yielding 29.5 grams gold per tonne.

Since April, Prosper has been carrying out a 10,000-metre drilling campaign at multiple targets across the property, with results expected soon.

SAGE GOLD Toronto-based, Nigel Lees-led Sage Gold (TSXV: SGX; US-OTC: SGGDF) is another junior active in Ontario’s Timmins camp. It is advancing its Clavos gold project, where an initial mill run of stockpiled material should be completed in October.

The project is permitted to run up to 700 tonnes per day, and Sage has negotiated a life-of-mine tollmilling contract with the Stock mill.

Sage says dewatering and rehabilitation of the Clavos workings are near complete, which will allow for high-grade exploration drilling to start from underground, even with extensive definition drilling ongoing. Stopes are already being developed and mineralized material is getting stockpiled.

Sage looks to increase resources and near-term production potential at Clavos, and consolidate other advanced gold deposits in the Timmins area.

1-16, 23_SEP18_Main .indd 15

The firm could produce 100,000 oz. gold from all its assets within three years.

A preliminary economic assessment carried out in 2013 foresaw Clavos costing only $8 million in initial capital expenses to build a mine that would produce 145,448 oz. gold over a seven-year mine life, generating a $13-million net present value at an 8% discount rate and a 47% internal rate of return, after taxes.

ROCK TECH LITHIUM Vancouver-based junior Rock Tech Lithium (TSXV: RCK; US-OTC: RCKTF) is exploring spodumenebearing pegmatites of the Georgia Lake area, 145 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ont., where lithium was first found in 1955.

In October 2012, Rock Tech calculated a National Instrument 43-101 compliant reource estimate for the property of 3.19 million indicated tonnes grading 1.10% Li2O and 6.31 million inferred tonnes grading 1% Li2O. The company says metallurgical tests of the pegmatites show: concentration of high-grade spodumene from high and lowgrade mineralized material; a 76% recovery rate, using heavy liquid separation; and 81% using flotation.

Its hydrometallurgical testing shows lithium carbonate produced with a 99.96% purity without any process

optimization, and 99.98% with bicarbonate scrubbing.

Rock Tech has signed a memorandum of understanding with three First Nations near the project that the company says creates a foundation for benefits and impact agreements.

The company spent mid-2017 on the ground at the property carrying out a sampling and exploration program to generate targets for follow-up trenching and drilling.

The work found two pegmatites next to the property’s Nama Creek main resource zone. TNM

to US$1,240 per ounce.

“The pit is opening up and we’re getting through some of the more challenging layers of overburden and basal till. I’m not suggesting we’re entirely through, but we’ve moved a lot of the material,” Portmann said during a second-quarter conference call.

“We are in more competent rock and can move more, but ... as the pit opens up, it gives us more flexibility in terms of working phases ... our teams become more productive and layered ... [they] are getting better and better.”

New Gold is also dealing with Rainy River’s tailings facility. The company reported it had completed a start-up tailings management cell in August, which provides six months of storage. It will need a Schedule 2 permit amendment to complete Rainy River’s broader tailings area.

New Gold expects to receive the

permit amendment in the fourth quarter after meetings with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to review the design.

New Gold’s cash and equivalents at the end of June totalled US$199 million. The company also had US$174 million undrawn in a revolving credit facility. The company expects to produce between 380,000 and 430,000 oz. gold this year at AISCs of US$760 to US$800 per ounce.

BMO Capital Markets analyst Brian Quast has a “market perform” rating on New Gold, along with a $5 price target. He notes that the Schedule 2 permit should be a “positive catalyst” for the stock.

The company has traded within a 52-week range of $3.11 to $6.68, and closed at $4.93 per share at press time. It has 576 million shares outstanding for a $2.8-billion market capitalization. TNM

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

irkland Lake Gold (TSX: KLG) has been on a tear in 2017 thanks to high gold grades and strong operating performances at its two flagship assets: the Macassa operation in Ontario, and the Fosterville mine in Australia’s Victoria state.

The company has gained in excess of 120% over the past seven months, en route to a 52-week high of $16.27 per share at press time.

Kirkland produced nearly 291,000 oz. gold over the first half of 2017 at all-in sustaining costs (AISCs) of US$803 per ounce. The performance was largely underpinned by rising grades at Fosterville, which cranked out 77,000 oz. during the second quarter at AISCs of US$388 per oz. sold.

The company generated US$45 million in free cash flow and net earnings of 17¢ per share during the three-month period.

Kirkland boosted its annual guid-

by US$50 to between US$800 and US$850 per ounce.

Kirkland also repurchased 1.3 million shares during the second quarter via a normal course-issuer bid launched in May. “The ability to generate substantial free cash flow is the key to achieving growth through exploration and project development. We’ve also reduced our debt, and reward our shareholders through the repurchase program,” president and CEO Anthony Makuch said during a conference call.

“We are pleased with the performance in virtually every area.

Fosterville had an outstanding quarter, with grades consistently outperforming our forecasts — in some cases by a large margin. In addition, the new underground mineral reserves estimate for the project more than doubles the number of ounces and comes very close

near Matheson, Ontario. It has drilled over 22,000 surface metres and 2,500 underground metres at the site so far this year. On Aug. 11, the company released assays from drill collars 1.8 km east of its Shaft deposit. The results were highlighted by 38 grams gold over 3 metres from 265 metres deep in hole 17-085.

“The results continue to highlight the potential that exists to identify new deposits east of Taylor along the [Porcupine Destor Fault],” Makuch said.

“As well, based on recent drilling, we are increasingly confident that we can add to our mineral resource and reserves in and around the Shaft deposit, as well as the East and West Porphyry deposits,” he continued, noting that all the areas are near existing infrastructure.

Taylor is expected to yield between 50,000 and 55,000 oz. gold this year.

Kirkland reported cash and equivalents of US$267 million at the end of the second quarter, and paid its first quarterly dividend of 1¢ per share.

SEPTEMBER 18–OCTOBER 1, 2017 / THE NORTHERN MINER

M A R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / SEPTEMBER 5–8 The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 206.28 points to 14,985.32, as the Canadian dollar surged from US71¢ to US81.54¢ on news of an interest rate hike from the Bank of Canada. Ebbing concerns over North Korea’s nuclear ambitions drove spot gold prices down US$21.36 to US$1,345.59 per ounce. Comex copper prices lost US8¢ to US$3.04 per pound.

Centerra Gold topped the value-added category, with shares rising $1.29 to $8.78 on news of a potential settlement with the Kyrgyz Republic government over an environmental dispute at the firm’s Kumtor gold mine in the Central Asian nation. The proposed settlement would call on Centerra to pay a one-time lump sum of US$50 million to a governmental Nature Development fund and make annual payments of US$2.7 million.

Centerra would pay another US$7 million to a governmental Cancer Care Support Fund and make a $3-million, one-time payment to the fund within a year of closing. Under the proposed agreement, Centerra would also invest US$6 million annually in a Kumtor Reclamation Fund based inside the country to a minimum of US$69 million. The dispute arose in 2016 when the government alleged that certain company mangers engaged in commercial transactions that harmed the state. The allegations coincided with a legal case in which the state demanded US$220

million in pollution fees.

Shares of New Gold rose 39¢ to $5 per share on a construction update of the company’s Rainy River gold project in northwestern Ontario. Both the project schedule and $515 million in capital costs remain in line with New Gold’s expectations. The company expects to process ore in September and ramp up to 60% of the 21,000-tonne-per-day capacity

by November. Production guidance at Rainy River this year is between 50,000 and 60,000 oz. gold, including pre-commercial production of 15,000 oz. gold at all-in-sustaining-costs of US$1,200 to $1,240 per oz. gold. In the second quarter, New Gold produced 105,064 oz. gold across four of its operations — a 6% increase, compared to the same quarter last year.

totalled $13 million, or 2¢ per share.

Pretium Resources gained 41¢ to $10.74 per share. On Aug. 10, the company announced its second-quarter results and commissioning update for its high-grade Brucejack gold mine in northwestern B.C.’s Golden Triangle district. During commissioning in June and grade ramp-up in July, the company produced 25,392 oz. gold from low-grade stockpiles, development muck and stope ore. The mill

operated at near nameplate capacity, processing 83,667 tonnes of ore for an average 2,699 tonnes per day. During start-up, some of the gravity-recoverable gold was locked up within the semi-autogenous grinding and ball mills. A 4.7 kg grab sample from the trapped material graded 23,547 grams gold per tonne. The company plans to recover the gold after changing the mill liners, and will optimize recoveries in the gravity and flotation circuits. TNM

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / SEPTEMBER 5–8 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index shed 6.46 points to a 771.99-point close on declining commodity prices. Spot gold prices fell US$21.36 to US$1,345.59 per oz., and Comex copper prices lost US8¢ to US$3.04 per pound.

Shares of Metallis Resources gained 32¢ to 74¢. On Sept. 1, the Vancouver-based explorer announced initial drill results at its 106 sq. km Kirkham copper-gold property in northwestern B.C.’s prolific Golden Triangle district. The first two drill holes intersected mineralized and altered monazite at the project’s gold-rich Cliff copper porphyry target, with assay results pending. One more hole will test Cliff, after which the company intends to drill the high-grade King gold target to the north. The company said that the prospective, ore-controlling structures on the property could extend 28 km from Kirkham northward to Garibaldi Resources’ E&L Nickel Mountain project. Kirkham is located 12 km from Barrick Gold’s Eskay Creek gold-silver mine, and 15 km from both Seabridge Gold’s KSM copper-gold project and Pretium Resources’ Brucejack gold mine.

Shares of Garibaldi Resources gained 21¢ to $1.12, on 8.1 million shares. The company intercepted two long intervals of nickel-copper sulphide mineralization totalling 178 metres in the first drill hole at its E&L property in

B.C.’s Golden Triangle. Assay results for the drill hole are pending. The hole was drilled for a borehole electromagnetic survey to test the orientation of conductors underlying the property. The discovery expands the scale of the mineralizing system eastward from historically known nickel-copper mineralization. Garibaldi also announced intentions to raise $6 million in a non-brokered private placement. The placement would issue 2.3 million units at 65¢ per unit and 6 million flow-through units at 75¢. Each unit and flow-through unit comprises one share and one warrant, with each warrant exercisable at 90¢ for two years.

near its proposed El Paso plant site in Sinaloa State, Mexico. Over the past year, Chesapeake has assembled a 680 sq. km land package at Yarely that is prospective for skarns, breccias and epithermal vein-related mineralizing systems. Geological mapping, rock-chip sampling and trenching — supplemented by induced-polarization geophysics — has defined six prospects within a V-shaped

anomaly measuring 6 km long, up to 600 metres wide and more than 300 metres deep.

The anomaly coincides with two mineralized structural corridors that follow the intersection of two regional faults. The company is awaiting results from 16 km of trenching and 2,500 rock samples assayed for multiple elements, and is preparing for a 5,000-metre drill program to test the anomaly at depth. TNM

U.S. MARKETS / SEPTEMBER 5–8 The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.9% to 21,797.8 points and the S&P 500 Index dropped 0.6% to 2,461.43 points, as investors braced for Hurricane Irma’s potential impact on U.S. markets.

Franco-Nevada led the value-added category, with shares gaining US$2.45 to US$84.58, after the company announced it would pay First Quantum Minerals US$178 million for another metals stream at Cobre Panama, one of the world’s largest copper-gold-silvermolybdenum porphyry projects. The project is 60% complete and is scheduled to produce in late 2018. Under the agreement, FrancoNevada will pay 20% of the gold spot price and silver until 302,000 oz. gold and 4.8 million oz. silver have been delivered. The additional stream has higher margins than the existing stream for the current mine plan.

First Quantum intends to use the proceeds of the transaction to partly fund its previously announced acquisition of a 10% interest in Cobre Panama from one of its joint-venture partners, LS-Nikko Copper.

A revised preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for McEwen Mining’s Los Azules copper project in Argentina drove shares of the

First Quantum defends copper hedging amid rising prices COPPER |

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

irst Quantum Minerals (TSX: FM; LON: FQM) met expectations during the second quarter by most production metrics, but a copper-hedging program from two years ago has held back its progress.

The company reported a US$97million net loss on its hedge book during the quarter, which contributed to a US$35-million — or US5¢-per-share — net loss for shareholders.

The scenario is underpinned by an improved metal environment that has seen spot copper prices jump this year by 15%, or US47¢, to US$2.89 per lb. at press time.

Fi rst Q u a nt u m repor ted a US$2.24 per lb. average realized copper price over the second quarter, which was US$33¢ per lb. below the average London Metals Exchange price over the same period. In July the company had 359,000 tonnes copper in outstanding hedges at US$2.43 per pound.

Cobre Panama mine in Panama 58% complete in June

“The healthy copper price increase that started [last year] and the losses incurred under our [hedge program] can obviously be distracting,” First Quantum president Clive Newall said during a July conference call.

“But we manage this company for the long term, and the program was put in place for a reason: to protect cash flows in a low metal-price environment ahead of the completion of Cobre Panama. To that end, it has been effective.”

First Quantum confirmed that its large Cobre Panama copper mine project is on track for commissioning in 2018. The US$1.1-billion development lies 120 km west of Panama City, and was reportedly 58% complete in June.

The company ended July with US$450 million in cash and US$838 million in undrawn credit. It reported US$4.8 billion in net debt and needs US$745 million to finish Cobre Panama.

Newall added that hedging “is still a prudent strategy, especially given the copper price volatility.

Even so, a sustained higher cop-

per price bodes well for the entire industry.

“We are taking action to manage operational and price risk, and strengthen the balance sheet. We are refinancing the facilities with the aim to extend tenure and maintain liquidity.”

First Quantum registered a 7% year-on-year jump in quarterly copper production to 142,000 tonnes.

The company attributed the growth to its Sentinel mine ramp-up and a strong performance at its Kansanshi operation, which are both in Zambia. It reported quarterly

all-in sustaining costs of US$1.50 per lb. copper.

First Quantum expects to produce between 570,000 and 605,000 tonnes copper annually over the next three years. Cobre Panama could add 320,000 tonnes to the production portfolio.

The company is suspending operations at its Ravensthorpe nickel mine in Western Australia in September. It said the mine would otherwise “operate at a loss for the next several years at current nickel prices.”

BMO Capital Markets analyst Alex Terentiew has an “outperform” rating on First Quantum and an $18-per-share target. He said the company’s second quarter was “largely in line” with expectations, but noted its 3¢ earnings-per-share loss came below analyst consensus.

First Quantum shares have traded within a 52-week range of $9.63 to $17.55 per share, and closed at $12.23 at press time.

The company has 689 million shares outstanding for an $8.4-billion market capitalization. TNM

TMAC tackles gold recovery issues at Hope Bay PRODUCTION

M AC Re s ou rc e s ( T S X : TMR; US-OTC: TMMFF) has slashed annual production estimates and suspended cost guidance at its wholly owned Hope Bay gold project in Nunavut due to “processing issues” during ramp up.

The company is struggling with its daily throughput rates after “frequent stoppages” to optimize mill recoveries, which have also resulted in lower average head grades.

TMAC cut Hope Bay’s annual production guidance to between 50,000 and 60,000 oz. gold. The operation was scheduled to generate between 100,000 and 120,000 oz. gold this year.

“We were feeding low-grade material through for quite a bit of the second quarter. Now we’re feeding closer-to-normal, mine-grade stockpile material. I don’t think we’ll achieve nameplate on recoveries by year-end, but I expect improve-

| Year-end ounces cut in half, but daily rates back to normal

ments,” TMAC chief executive officer Catharine Farrow said during a conference call.

“We are sending both a gravity concentrate and flotation concentrate over to a treatment plant. So they both have to work efficiently.

Water balance is something we have to work on to optimize our leaching, and the columns, as well,” Farrow said.

Gold recoveries at Hope Bay averaged 62% in the second quarter, and 67% in June. TMAC produced 12,300 oz. gold at an average grade of 10 grams gold per tonne. The company reported all-in sustaining costs (AISCs) of US$1,801 per ounce.

TMAC released a prefeasibility study in mid-2015 that envisioned sequential development and underground mining of the Doris, Madrid and Boston deposits to produce 160,000 oz. gold annually for 20 years, at AISCs of US$785 per ounce.

The study also assumes 92% average gold recoveries.

TMAC has set aside 104,700 tonnes from the Doris deposit grad-

ing 15.2 grams gold. The stockpiles were intended to drive mill rampup to 1,000 tonnes per day in 2017, before increasing to 2,000 tonnes per day in early 2018.

The high-grade material would also help generate cash to pay back debt commitments until 2018. The company reported its mill was running at 666 tonnes per day during the second quarter.

“The Doris orebody has been in line with geometallurgical expectations and test work, and that’s not the cause of any of the complications we’ve experienced with plant recoveries,” Farrow added.

“We’ve had several groups come in to confirm the work we’re doing on the plant. There haven’t really been any changes to the plan. We have to improve mechanical stability and recoveries. There haven’t been any surprises, and we’re tweaking around the gravity cyclones and flotation. The comminution side is actually going quite well.”

The company is fine-tuning two elements of the processing plant: the

front end, which includes crushing, flotation and concentrate creation; and the concentrate-treatment plant at the back end.

Scotia Capital analyst Trevor Turnbull noted that the “front end is still only delivering about 80% of the contained gold to the concentrate at the end of June. For the Doris ore, this figure needs to be in the mid-90% range.”

Meanwhile, the major issues in the back end involve water balance and its impact on leach kinetics and resin performance.

TMAC reported it had $6.9 million

in unrestricted cash — plus $52 million in restricted cash — at the end of June. It expects to spend around $30 million in additional capital expenses at Hope Bay this year.

Scotia Capital cut the company’s one-year price target by $3 to $13 per share. TMAC has dropped over 20%, or $2.38, since Aug. 15, en route to a 52-week low of $8.18 per share at press time. It has 84 million shares outstanding for a $687-million market capitalization.

Turnbull says the company has a “tight cash position” and “no room for error.” TNM
