Northern Mining Communities Prepare for Eastern Canada’s Premiere Mining Show Picture: Glenn Dredhart, GlennCT-EX Dredhart Pres.

Publisher/President welcoming 350 delegates to last years Canadian Mining Expo at the Gala Dinner hosted by the Porcupine Branch of the CIM.

By: Kevin Vincent

Unapologetically northern. Undeniably influential. Unbelievably important. There are plenty of ways to describe The Big Event, Canadian Mining Expo held in Timmins each year, but the most fitting analogy is that it has become a must-attend event.

For more than three decades, Canadian Trade-Ex (CT-EX), the com-

Page 6

pany that runs the Expo, has been connecting and championing the vast tapped and untapped resources of northern Ontario. While CT-EX President Glenn Dredhart keeps a relatively low profile, he’s quick to point out that one word comes to mind to describe the Expo’s impact on the industry – family. “It’s astonishing to think that our staff have developed relationships over the years with manufacturers, junior miners, and the investment world that span generations,” he said. “In fact, I can say that we’ve been dealing with so many key players over the years that we’ve now dealt with second and even third generation families and their companies who are equally committed to this great industry as we are.”

CT-EX’s impact and commitment to the producing miners and junior explorationists is reflected in the fact that Dredhart, on behalf of the Canadian Mining Expo, will join industry leaders May 24 to ring the closing bell at the To-

ronto Stock Exchange, celebrating mining’s impact on the Canadian economy as well as the TSX’s longest-running mining stock, MonetaPorcupine Mines.

“I have worked with Glenn and his team of professionals for a number of years in encouraging our mining suppliers and assisting in finding keynote speakers,” said Dick Destefano, Executive Director of the Northern Ontario Mining Cluster.

“Glenn’s team has provided an excellent venue to promote their highquality mining technology advancements in an exceptional manner,” he added.

The kudos doesn’t end there. “The Bucket Shop is proud to be part of the Canadian Mining Expo organized by Canadian Trade-Ex. As one of the longest standing exhibitors we have enjoyed working with Glenn and his team as we grow our business,” said Paul Woodward, Vice President of The Bucket Shop Inc. “The show has always been very well organized with lots of little extras for those who want to put in the effort. The Timmins show has always been very well attended and has grown year after year and this year is no exception. The mining industry has always supported and enjoyed the show whereby allowing their key personnel to attend during business hours which makes all the difference for us as an exhibitor. TBS will continue to support this regional event for years to come,” Woodward adds.

The impact on the Timmins and northern Ontario economies is equally undeniable. During The Big Event every local hotel is usually booked solid. Why do so many companies keep coming back? “It’s simple. Produce results and they will be back,” says Dredhart. The show, considered the largest in Eastern Canada, has facilitated untold mil-

lions of dollars-worth of connections.

The Walden Group/Walden Equipment has been a Platinum Sponsor of The Big Event –Canadian Mining Expo for years. “The Expo itself, along with The Walden Group Golf Invitational we host every year in

conjunction with The Big Event, provide our company the opportunity to meet and chat with numerous customers, suppliers, and contacts and friends within the Mining Industry. It’s the one show we’d never miss,” said Martin Short, Walden Equipment.

“It’s a true mining show in a true mining community,” Dredhart explains from his modest office in downtown Timmins.

CMMP Hailed as Tool for Competiveness But Scorned

by Ontario & Saskatchewan for too much

Red Tape By: Frank Giorno

The Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (CMMP) was announced at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention in Toronto in March, 2019.

The plan has the support of the Federal government, eight provinces and three territories. But two provinces Ontario and Saskatchewan have announced their opposition to the CMMP. “In a world increasingly looking for sustainably and responsibly sourced mineral products, Canada is unmatched,” said Federal Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi.

“As global demand for sustainably developed resources grows, Canada must continue to capitalize on its natural and human advantage to ensure our competitiveness in global markets,” he added.

At this stage the CMMP is a document that contains a vision for improving the future of mining in Canada. The document also advances actions in six broad categories of activities that are important factors in mining.

The CMMP provides direction for the development of a modern minerals and metals industry in Canada through; 1. increasing competitiveness; 2. the participation of Indigenous Peoples; 3. community benefits; 4. respect for the environment; 5. scientific and technological innoPage 8

vation; and, 6. putting Canada in a position of global leadership in mining.

Improved Competitiveness To increase competitiveness the plan calls for improving financing and taxation systems to support exploration. It also calls for improving regulations by 2020 to make mining more efficient. The plan calls for the development of an innovative public geoscience; increased certainty on land access and land use. The building of instructure by 2025 to unlock mineral potential in northern remote and isolated areas; and creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to support community and regional development.

Indigenous Participation The CMMP calls for improving Indgineous People’s participation by: respecting treaty rights; providing for meaningful engagement at the earliest stages of a project; supporting communities with enhanced governance, employment and business capacity for engaging with governments and industry; supporting indigenous women to participate in the minerals sector. The plan calls for increasing opportunities for indigenous businesses by 2021; more training programs by 2022; and more agreements between Indigenous communities and mining companies by 2025.

Environmental In the environmental field, the CMMP calls for the reduction of mining’s environmental footstep by transforming mining waste into useful products and by reducing environmental liability; enhancing mine closures and reclamation; and by implementing climate change reduction measures.

The plan calls for the the enactment of a national abandoned mine initiative and a mining waste recovery program by 2020. It also calls for the adoption of best available technology in new mines by 2025.

Science and Innovation Science and Innovation are key drivers of a re-invigorated Canadian mining sector. The CMMP calls for the development of a modern and innovative mining sector supported by leading edge mining technology.

The plan calls for Incentives to support a “supercluster” - type model for tackling large innovation challenges and a plan for transformative technologies by 2022. By 2025, the plan envisions the commercialization of new mining technology including next generation geoscience tools.

Community Benefits Communities with mining projects nearby expect to benefit from mining through employment and providing supplies and services. The CMMP calls for optimal economic and soCont’d on pg. 8

cial benefits for the communities. It also promotes engaging a more diverse population in mining. By 2020 the CMMP calls for the development of local procurement lists. By 2025 educational programs should be in place to help attract and retain talent for future mining. By 2030 the CMMP wants to achieve a diverse workforce that includes up to 30 percent women in mining.

Global Leadership The CMMP envisions Canada as a global leader in mining with a sharpened competive edge. To achieve this Canada will expand on its brand as the best national mining brand with a reputation for responsible mining practices. It will promote the mining supply and services sector as the strongest in the world. Foreign direct investment will be encouraged to help invest in future mining projects.

In 2020 a national mining brand will be introduced. Also by 2020 a government-industry strategy on mining supply and services will be unveiled.

In 2025 a responsible mining program at home and abroad will be introduced.

How the CMMP was Developed The CMMP has been developed over the last couple of years with the participation of all provincial and territorial mining ministries, mining associations, mining companies, First Nations, the mining supply and services sector and other key participants in mining.

Page 10

Consultations have included groups as diverse as innovation experts, Indigenous Peoples, non-governmental organizations, private companies, industry associations, and youth. generated hundreds of ideas were generated and confirmed that Canadians value the role that mining plays in our economy and in our daily lives.

Mining Association of Canada The Mining Association of Canada (MAC) welcomes the new Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (CMMP), as a milestone initiative in support of Canada’s minerals and metals industry. The CMMP, which includes measures that aim to enhance the sector’s competitiveness, advance the participation of Indigenous communities and promote Canada’s role as a global leader in the mining sector, is an ambitious plan and provides vision that will position the industry for success in the years to come.

“While much needs to be done to bolster the sector’s domestic and international leadership, the good news is that Canada already has strong building blocks in place and the commitments in the CMMP are encouraging,” concluded Pierre Gratton, Pres., CEO of MAC. “The federal Fall Economic Statement, which included a five-year renewal of the METC and enhanced accelerated capital cost treatment for resource projects, was an early example of actions that would make a material difference to Canada’s competitiveness. The governments of Newfoundland and Labrador and British Columbia have

already announced new measures to support investment in their mining industries, and we look forward to seeing the full implementation of federal, provincial and territorial Action Plans in the coming months.”

Ontario and Saskatchewan Oppose the CMMP Two provinces Ontario and Saskatchewan oppose the CMMP and they issued a joint news release to explain their reasons.

While Ontario and Saskatchewan agreed with some of the elements covered in the CMMP, they believe this plan failed to specifically address economic and competitiveness challenges and it failed to send a strong message to investors around the world that Canada is prepared to take real action to support our mining sector.

Ontario and Saskatchewan also challenged the federal government’s climate change reduction plan that is endorsed in the CMMP. “The mining industry is concerned about how misguided federal policy will stand in the way of progress. Energy-intensive sectors, such as mining, are at great risk of suffering from skyrocketing energy costs.”

Energy markets need to be sustainable and reliable. Ontario fought to scrap the cap-and-trade carbon tax program, lifting a significant burden off the backs of Ontario’s manufacturers and reversing the course of Cont’d on pg. 10

what it called a decade of mismanagement.

The people of Ontario and Saskatchewan can be certain that we will do everything in our power to protect our provinces’ industries from the job-killing carbon tax that the federal government seeks to impose on our provinces.

The two provinces also criticized the

Page 12

CMMP for failing to deal with trade issues affecting uranium from Saskatchewan and steel and other metals from Ontario. It still has no plan to ensure that companies can access international markets in a transparent, stable, and effective fashion.

They also blasted the federal government’s Ottawa’s Bill C-69 which proposes to amend the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. They

said the Bill would stop much of the progress we are seeking to create in northern Ontario, throughout Saskatchewan and beyond.”

A major concern with Bill C-69 feared by the governments of Ontario and Saskatchewan is the potential to use environmental assessments as weapons against future development. They labelled it a short-sighted approach by the federal government that will curb development efforts and prevent major development projects from getting off the ground.

Ontario and Saskatchewan concluded that until those issues are addressed that are hurting Canadian families, businesses, and the national economy, Ontario and Saskatchewan cannot endorse the CMMP.” Actions based on the CMMP objectives will be discussed beginning In summer 2019 by Canada’s Mines Ministers and industry to implement measures to guide the future of the mining sector. The first Action Plan will be released in 2020 and will include near-term actions supported by current data, rigorous research and analysis, and input from stakeholders and partners. All actions will contribute to the vision—that Canada is the leading mining nation.

Newmont - Goldcorp

Merger

Becomes Reality By: Frank Giorno

The merger between Newmont and Goldcorp which began in early January, 2019 became a reality in April with the overwhelming support of the companies respective shareholders and the approval of Investment Canada Act. “With the overwhelming support of both companies’ shareholders and the necessary regulatory approvals in hand, we will close the transaction on April 18th,” said Gary Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer.

“We are grateful to our employees, shareholders, partners and government stakeholders for their support and cooperation throughout this process.”

Newmont shareholders voted 76 percent to increase the outstanding shares and approved the issuance of shares according to the transaction agreement with more than 98 percent of the votes cast.

Earlier Goldcorp shareholders voted by 97 percent to approve Newmont’s purchase of all of the company’s shares.

In the deal valued at about $10 billion US. Goldcorp shareholders will receive from Newmont 0.328 of a share and two cents in cash for each of Goldcorp’s outstanding common shares.

Page 14

The new company created by the merger will be known as Newmont Goldcorp and will be owned 65 per cent by current Newmont shareholders and 35 per cent by Goldcorp shareholders.

Shortly after, the shareholders approved the Newmont-Goldcorp deal, Canada’s Minister for Innovation, Science and Economic Development gave the Canadian government’s approval required under the Investment Canada Act. The merger creates the largest gold mining company in the world surpassing the $6 Billion merger between Barrick and Randgold that occurred in the fall of 2018.

In the process Barrick tendered an offer to merge with Newmont, that was withdrawn in favour of a joint venture between Barrick and Newmont in Nevada where each company has large holdings.

Once in place Vancouver, Goldcorp’s head office, will become the North American head office for Newmont Goldcorp. Head office will be in Denver, Colorado.

The newly created Newmont Goldcorp will target six to seven million ounces of gold over a decades-long time horizon; and have the largest gold reserves and resources in the

gold sector.

Newmont operates 10 gold mines on four continents, North America, South America, Africa and Australia. Goldcorp has mines in Canada, one in Argentina and one in Mexico.

The Canadian mines are Éléonore in Quebec, Red Lake, Musselwhite and Hoyle Pond, Dome and Hollinger Open Pit in Timmins, Ontario.

Timmins’ mines now fall under a new name, NEWMONT GOLDCORP, Porcipine. In addition, there are four development projects that are nearing completion. In Ontario there are three projects Borden, Century, Cochenour and Coffee in the Yukon.

Goldcorp’s Borden Mine, Canada’s first all-electric mine is advancing towards commericial production by the second half of 2019. Borden is a key part of a plan to increase production by 20% by 2021.

The questions remain about how Goldcorp’s present operations including Red Lake, Borden, Porcupine Gold Mines and Éléonore fit into the new Newmont Goldcorp structure.

Answers to those questions will unfold as the Newmont Goldcorp integrate and evaluate the after merger operations.

GOING FOR

GOLD IN

EVERYTHING THEY DO Kirkland Lake Gold continues record breaking production Kirkland Lake Gold’s 2019 First Quarter report indicates that the record breaking 2018 production and financial peformance attained in 2018 continues into this quarter.

The success is driven by a combined production from Fosterville and Macassa mines of 231,879 oz. in Q1 2019 up from 147,644 oz., an increase of 57% from Q1 2018.

Gold poured in Q1 2019 totaling 230,250 oz. with total gold sold of 232,929 oz.

Revised production guidance for 2019

The Company ended Q1 2019 well positioned to achieve its improved full-year 2019 production guidance of 920,000 – 1,000,000 oz. of gold, with production at Fosterville expected to be weighted to the second half of 2019 as development advances to depth into the highgrade Swan Zone.

“Both Fosterville and Macassa achieved record production in Q1 2019, largely reflecting strong grade performance, as well as higher levels of mill throughput at Fosterville,” explained Tony Makuch, KLG President and CEO. “At Fosterville, we continued to advance development and production from the Swan Zone, with stope production advancing on multiple levels. As we develop deeper into the zone, we are targeting higher levels of production from Swan, particularly in

Page 16

the second half of the year. “

Record Production at Fosterville and Macassa

At Fosterville, 128,445 oz. of gold was produced, more than double the 63,843 oz. produced in Q1 2018 and a 3% increase from the previous quarterly record of 124,307 oz.

Fosterville’s 2019 operating costs per ounce sold guidance improved to $170 – $190 from $200 – $220 previously.

At Macassa, production on the 5600 and 5700 levels continues to generate better than planned grades for KLG. Production over the balance of the year will remain largely focused on these areas.

Record production at Macassa totaled 72,776 oz. an increase of 35% from 54,038 oz. in Q1 2018 and 4% higher than the previous quarterly record of 69,936 oz. in Q4 2018.

Production for the 4th quarter 2018 was also a record, totaling 231,217 oz., which compared to the previous high of 181,155 oz. in Q3 2018.

Holt, Taylor & Holloway Mines

Production at Holt and Taylor mines reached 17,225 oz. and 12,377 oz., respectively, which compared to 16,675 oz. and 13,055 oz., respectively, in Q1 2018 and 16,774 oz. and 19,305 oz., respectively, the previous quarter.

The Holloway mine resumed operations after a revised royalty

agreement with the Franco Nevada Corporation. A total of 1,056 oz. were produced at Holloway and processed at the Holt mill during Q1 2019, which resulted from processing 7,826 tonnes at an average grade of 4.4 g/t and average recoveries of 95.4%. Production at Holloway is expected to ramp up during 2019 and total approximately 20,000 ounces for the full year.

Improved production trend continues

Overall production for 2018 totaled 723,701 oz. That was 21% increase from 2017 and it bettered the projected 2018 guidance: over 670,000 oz.

The picture for improved production over the remainder of 2019 and the next two years remains bright for KLG buoyed by increases in consolidated mineral reserves of 24% to 5,750,000 oz @ 15.8 grams per tonne (“g/t”) (total additions of 1,860,000 oz. before depletion of 750,000 oz.).

Fosterville Mineral Reserves increased 1,020,000 oz. or 60%, to 2,720,000 oz. @ 31.0 g/t, with the Swan Zone Mineral Reserve doubling to 2,340,000 oz. @ 49.6 g/t (total additions of 1,386,000 oz. before depletion of 366,000 oz.).

Macassa Mineral Reserves at December 31, 2018 increased 11% to 2,250,000 oz. @ 21.9 g/t (total adCont’d on pg. 16

Three-year production guidance increased to 920,000 – 1,000,000 oz. for 2019; 930,000 – 1,010,000 oz. for 2020; and 995,000 – 1,055,000 oz. for 2021; Fosterville’s production guidance for 2019 and 2020 improved to 550,000 – 610,000

ounces, with 2021 guidance remaining unchanged at 570,000 – 610,000 ounces.

Kirkland Lake Gold’s success is reflected in the surge in its stock price traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) which more than doubled from $20 (CDN) in April, 2018 to $43 (CDN) in April 2019.

KLG shares peaked at $48 (CDN) in late February.

The increased gold production reflected positively on KLG’s financial performance over Q1 2019. During Q1 2019, the Company continued to build financial strength with cash increasing $78 million or 23%, to $410 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $332 million at December 31, 2018.

The Q1 performance continued with strong growth in earnings and cash flow for full-year 2018, when net earnings totaled $273.9 million ($1.30 per basic share), a 107% increase from 2017. Net cash flow from operating activities of continuing operations totaled $543.1 million, a 73% increase from 2017, while free cash flow increased 40%, to $249.5 million in 2018. Shareholders were rewarded a quarterly dividend payment of C$0.04/share paid on January 11.

Future improvements

KLG’s gold production number will get a boost in 2019 when Holloway mine is expected to come back on stream with 20,000 oz. expected in 2019 increasing to 50,000 oz. by 2021. Continuing lower production costs will help boost the company’s earnings. Consolidated unit-cost guidance for 2019 improved, with operating cash costs per oz. guidance revised to $300 – $320 from $360 – $380 previously. The AISC per oz. sold improved to $520 – $560 compared to previous guidance of $630 – $680.

Goal of 1 Million Oz.

The goal for KLG is to produce 1 million oz. of gold annually with 2019 being the year when it might reach that target. The keys to Kirkland Lake Gold’s success are innovation, diamond drilling exploration, discovery of higher grade ores and increasing productivity. “And that’s what we are doing at Kirkland Lake Gold,” Makuch said.

IAMGOLD Reports New Gold Discovery

Côté Gold Project By:Frank Giorno

IAMGOLD continues to release positive results about gold present on its Côté Gold Project, near Gogama, Ontario despite announcing that it was shelving work on developing the project until conditions in the gold market improved.

The company announced they discovered a new gold-bearing zone at the Côté Gold Joint Venture Project, located 125 km southwest of Timmins and 175 km north of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.

The Côté Gold Project is a 70:30 joint venture between IAMGOLD Corporation and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd (SMM Gold Côté Inc.).

IAMGOLD reported on assay results from fourteen diamond drill holes (including the deepening of a historical drill hole) totaling 7,452 metres completed as part of its 2017 - 2018 exploration drilling program, which has led to the discovery of intrusive-hosted mineralization referred to as the Gosselin Zone.

The Gosselin discovery represents

Page 20

the most significant drill intercepts of continuous gold mineralization so far encountered outside of the Côté Deposit on the joint venture project mineral holdings.

“The Gosselin Zone is a new grassroots discovery, the result of our ongoing commitment to sustained exploration and an excellent group effort by the Côté Exploration team, stated Craig MacDougall, Senior Vice President, Exploration for IAMGOLD. “With the completion of a positive feasibility study for the Côté Gold deposit in 2018, demonstrating a solid development opportunity with a long mine life and low production costs, this exploration success continues to add to our track record of resource expansion and further enhances the long term value of this exciting development project,” MacDougall added.

The Gosselin Zone results from four drill holes returned the following results: Drill hole CL15-39EXT: 350.0 metres grading 0.81 g/t Au which includes: 15.0 metres grading 2.32 g/t Au, 91.0 metres grading 1.13 g/t Au,

104.0 metres grading 1.12 g/t Au. Drill hole GOS17-05: 345.0 metres grading 0.68 g/t Au and includes: 132.3 metres grading 1.13 g/t Au. Drill hole GOS18-07: 130.0 metres grading 0.63 g/t Au and 139.7 metres grading 1.36 g/t Au which included 79.0 metres grading 2.11 g/t Au. Drill hole GOS18-09: 261.2 metres grading 0.65 g/t Au which includes: 163.0 metres grading 0.95 g/t Au and 92.0 metres grading 1.42 g/t Au. The Gosselin Zone is located approximately 1.5 km northeast of the Côté Gold Deposit. The Côté Deposit (on a 100% basis) hosts estimated Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves totaling 7.3 million ounces of contained gold and Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (inclusive of Reserves) totaling 10.0 million ounces of contained gold, and Inferred Mineral Resources totaling 2.4 million ounces of contained gold (see news releases dated November 1, 2018 and February 19, 2019).

IAMGOLD 2019 Phase I exploration diamond drilling program starts Cont’d from pg. 18

program was designed to test the continuity of the new Gosselin zone in a number of directions from the discovery hole (GOS17-05) and to determine if the gold mineralization intersected at depth extends to surface. The program included one drill hole executed as a deepening of a pre-existing shallow drill hole from 2015 (CL15-39 EXT).

All drill holes from the 2017 2018 campaign were collared from land on the north shore of Three Ducks Lake.

The drilling program has confirmed the presence of a wide corridor of gold mineralization with approximate dimensions of 750 metres (strike), 200 metres (width) and 400 metres (depth).

Thirteen of the fourteen completed drill holes intersected significant core intervals with elevated gold values.

After the initial discovery of the Gosselin Zone, a re-logging and core sampling program of historical drill holes which originally targeted the near-by YoungShannon high grade vein system to the southwest of the Gosselin Zone was initiated to seek a possible connection to the intrusion hosted mineralization intersected at Gosselin.

The Company also reported assay results from a drill core re-logging and sampling program of historical drill holes located along a potential south-west extension of this discovery, referred to as the Young-Shannon Zone.

Drill hole YS87-8: 32.5 metres grading 7.53 g/t Au. Drill hole YS90-181: 128.5 metres grading 1.12 g/t Au. Historical exploration work carried out on the Young-Shannon property since the late 1920’s and inPage 22

termittently until the early 2000’s, included extensive diamond drilling (225 drill holes and > 33,300 metres of drilling) and underground exploration comprising a shallow inclined shaft with levels at 30 and 57 metres depth, along with a limited amount (200 metres) of lateral development. The historical work outlined gold values over narrow widths in structurally-controlled quartz-veins within the more mafic phases of granodiorite, and it was concluded by previous owners to be an Archean lode-gold style of mineralization hosted in discontinuous veins.

The 2019 Phase I exploration diamond drilling program has commenced and entails the completion

of 15 planned diamond drill holes (4,500 metres) mainly on Three Ducks Lake. The program is designed to test for the extension of the new Gosselin zone to surface beneath Three Ducks Lake, and to delineate the ultimate size potential of this discovery. The program will also test for continuity between the new Gosselin Zone and the recently discovered intrusion-hosted gold mineralization associated with the Young-Shannon Zone.

As results merit, a second phase of drilling is anticipated to complete an infill drilling program (50 to 75 metres drill hole spacing) to support the completion of an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate in 2020.

McEwen Projects Solid Performance after Challenging First Quarter 2019 By: Frank Giorno

McEwen Mining undertook a $25 million financing package to repair the damage to the company’s balance sheet caused by a series of events at two of its mines, some of which were beyond its control during the first quarter of 2019 .

Robert McEwen, the chairman and chief owner of McEwen Mining apologized to shareholders for the Company’s performance at an April conference call and said three to six months were challenging.

“I want to apologize for our horrible share price performance. Clearly, our actions and statements have disappointed, confused and prompted many shareowners to sell their shares,” McEwen said.

But he reassured shareholders that corrective steps were taken and balance of 2019 looks good.

Robert indicated that McEwen Mining now has four sources of production to generate gold quantities, up from three last year. He indicated that the company has reduced its production guidance by less than 3% to 205,000 gold equivalent ounces, from 210,000.

The company is in a position to

Ontario and Gold Bar Mine in Nevada that affected production.

$25 Million Share Offering

At Black Fox

As a result of first quarter of 2019 mishaps, McEwen Mining decided to inject $25 million US in capital by a registered direct offering of shares to senior officials including Rob McEwen.

The announcement of the direct offering on March 26, 2019 resulted in a drop of share value on the TSX from $2.37 Cdn on March 12 to $1.89 Cdn. by April 1. The stock rose to $1.96 Cdn the next day. On the NYSE prices fell from a high of $1,79 US on March 12 to $1.42 US

by April 1 before rising to $1.50 US on April 2.

McEwen and other senior officials of McEwen Mining, assured shareholders that the problems and the cash flow problems have been resolved and the company’s prospects look good for the remainder of the year.

Chris Stewart, McEwen Mining President and Chief Operating Officer recounted a series of incidents at Black Fox Mine, in Matheson,

•In January, a problem at one of the its inverse slot raises meant a stoppage of about 2.5 weeks.

•In February, a fire at the surface crushing plant operated by a contractor took a month for the repairs to be completed. It was up and running in the first week of March.

A temporary crushing plant was mobilized as an immediate fix but did not perform well due to brutal February winter weather in the Timmins area with temperatures in the minus 35 to the minus 45 Celsius range.

Black Fox operations resumed the first week of March and were able to double production from 4,000 oz. to 8,000 oz.

According to Stewart Black Fox is on target to meet the 50,000 oz. target for 2019.

To prevent similar occurences, Stewart explained that McEwen Mining be will develop developing multiple mine fronts and pushing to Cont’d on pg. 24

The senior leadership team at Black Fox has been replaced as the company works to turn the operation around.

At Gold Bar Extreme weather also had an impact on Gold Bar mine in Nevada, where delays were caused by white out conditions and snowfall, that affected the commissioning of an ore handling system (the crushing, screening, agglomeration and stacking system). To address these issues, modifications were made to the ore handling system to promote better movement of the ores through the entire system.

“The problems that had hampered our performance in Q1 have been resolved and we are back to regular operations,” Stewart re-assured the shareholders.

Page 26

Andrew Elinesky, the Chief Financial Officer, for McEwen explained that the San Jose Mine, located in Argentina lost cash flow in 4th Quarter 2018 due to an export tax imposed by the Argentinian government. As a result earnings were reduced to $6 million.

Elinesky also refered to the bankruptcy of a refinery in Argentina, owned by a partner, that led to a reduction in gold processed by McEwen.

Elinesky said operational problems at Gold Bar, Nevada reduced production to from a projected 7,000 oz over three months to 2,000 oz. by the end of March.

Black Fox rallied to produce 8,000 oz. in March, down from the projected 10,000 oz. for the same period.

“The capital injection of $25 million was required by the end of March and that will carry us out to the end of the year,” Elinesky said. “ That will be spend on the startup of Gold Bar and the turn around at Black

Fox.” Robert McEwen pointed out that the company did not lose gold because of the incidents, it only delayed production and the company should make up sales by the end of the year.

McEwen has revised its annual production guidance slighty from a projected 210,000 oz. of gold to 205,000 oz.

“Despite these disruptions, McEwen operations are solid, coming into April,” McEwen told the shareholders.

McEwen said the company is investing $18 million in 2019 in exploration drilling for additional gold supplies in their Timmins mining properties with the expectation that new supplies will be brought into production and result in increase supply to fill milling capacity at their Stock Mill.

Results of the drilling programs will be released within a month and a half and continue monthly for the rest of 2019.

Alamos Gold

Producing Steady Success

“Good mines and good people are the foundation of our growth.”

- John McCluskey, President, CEO By: Frank Giorno

Sitting at a table in a newly opened cafe in Timmins, the heart of Canada’s gold country, a group of people were trying to recall the name of the mine west of Kirkland Lake. All they could remember is that the name started with an A. Tucked away west of Kirkland Lake, off Highway 11, Canada’s Transcanada Highway, Alamos Gold’s Young Davidson Mine has been a successful but low-key gold producer.

Alamos Gold also operates a second gold mine in Northern Ontario - The Island Gold Mine - located 83 kilometres northeast of Wawa, Ontario.

Alamos is a Canadian-based intermediate gold producer with diversified production from four operating mines in North America, including the Young-Davidson in Matachewan and Island Gold Mines near Wawa in northern Ontario, Canada. They also operate the Mulatos and El Chanate Mines in Sonora, Mexico.

In addition, the Company has exploration and development projects in Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Mexico, Turkey, and the United States.

Page 28

Alamos Gold had its up and downs in 2018. Its record production levels were offset by production difficulties in its Mexican operations.

On the plus side Alamos, reported record cash flow from operating activities of $213.9 million ($211.7 million, or $0.54 per share, before changes in working capital), a 15% increase from 2017.

Positive free cash flow were generated at each of the Company’s operations for total mine-site free cash flow of $56.4 million. Free cash flow (FCF) is the cash left over after a company pays for its operating expenses and capital expenditures, also known as CAPEX. On the downside Alamos realized a net loss of $71.5 million, or $0.18 per share.

“Alamos closed 2018 on a high note with record production from Island Gold and a stronger performance from Young-Davidson driving production higher and costs lower in the fourth quarter. This contributed to an 18% increase in full year production to 505,000 oz. meeting guidance and achieving a new record. We expect similar production in 2019 at lower costs contributing to stronger margins and financial performance,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Ex-

ecutive Officer.

During the 4th Quarter, Alamos produced 125,600 oz. of gold, an increase from the third quarter reflecting a stronger performance from Young-Davidson and record quarterly production from Island Gold.

The company sold a record 131,161 oz. of gold at an average realized price of $1,244 per oz. $17 above the average London PM Fix, for revenues of $163.1 million.

Total cash costs decreased to $770 per ounce, the lowest in 2018 reflecting improved performance at Young-Davidson; all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”)1 of $983 per oz. also decreased from the third quarter.

Cost of sales of $1,579 per oz. were higher than guidance reflecting a non-cash inventory impairment charge at El Chanate of $64.0 million, or $488 per ounce.

The adjusted net earnings were reported as $4.3 million, or $0.01 per share, that included one-time adjustments for a $64.0 million ($49.9 million after-tax) non-cash inventory impairment charge at El Chanate, as well as unrealized foreign exchange losses recorded within both deferred taxes and foreign exchange of $15.8 million, and other items totaling $10.1 million.

cash charges such as depreciation, depletion, amortization that reduce earnings but not cash flows.

The generated cash flow from operating activities of $47.4 million ($52.8 million, or $0.14 per share), before changes in working capital, an increase from the third quarter primarily reflecting lower costs, higher gold sales and a higher realized gold price.

2018 was a record breaking year for Alamos Gold with a record production of 505,000 oz. of gold, a whopping 18% increase from the previous record in 2017.

Both Island Gold and Mulatos Mine had increased production guidance.

A record 509,879 oz. of gold was sold at an average realized price of $1,278 per oz. for record revenues of $651.8 million.

Alamos generated positive free cash flow at each of the Company’s operations for total mine-site free cash flow of $56.4 million.

Mineral Reserves at Young-Davidson decreased 0.2 million oz. to 3.3 million oz. of gold, reflecting mining depletion. With a large existing mineral reserve base and the near-term focus on completing the lower mine expansion, exploration has not been a priority. Exploration activities from underground drilling platforms at depth are expected to commence on completion of the lower mine expansion in 2020.

With the deposit open at depth and to the west, Young-Davidson has excellent exploration potential.

The Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 1.4 million oz.

Page 30

and Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.3 million oz. were unchanged from 2017. Alamos expects a strong conversion rate of these Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves through stope definition and infill drilling with further potential to add to the Mineral Resource base.

Young-Davidson also has 0.2 million tonnes of surface stockpiles grading 0.83 g/t Au. These will be used to supplement higher grade underground ore until depleted in the third quarter of 2019. Based on expected underground mining rates, the remaining Mineral Reserve life of the Young-Davidson mine is approximately 13 years as of December 31, 2018.

Island Gold’s Mineral Reserves increased to 1.0 million oz., a 14% increase from the end of 2017 and 5% increase from the June 30, 2018 update, net of mining depletion. Approximately 70% of the new Mineral Reserves came from gains in the Main C Zone with the bulk of the remainder in the Eastern Extension.

Mineral Reserve grades increased slightly to 10.28 g/t Au, from 10.20 g/t Au at the end of 2017.

Based on throughput rates of 1,100 tonnes per day (“tpd”), Island Gold has a current Mineral Reserve life of approximately eight years. Given the significantly larger Mineral Resource base, strong track record of conversion to Mineral Reserves, and ongoing exploration success, the Company expects Island Gold’s mine life will more than double the current Mineral Reserve life.

A total of $19 million has been budgeted for exploration at Island Gold in 2019. The focus will remain on

continuing to define new near-mine Mineral Resources and extend highgrade mineralization laterally and down-plunge across each of the Western, Main and Eastern Extensions.

The Phase I expansion at Island Gold was completed on schedule in the third quarter, increasing mill capacity to 1,100 tonnes per day.

Lynn Lake’s Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves increased 16% to 1.9 million oz. of gold, (32.0 mt grading 1.83 g/t Au) with the Mineral Reserve additions being incorporated into an optimized Feasibility Study to be published in the second quarter of 2019.

Global exploration budget of $33 million in 2019, including $19 million at Island Gold focused on defining additional near mine Mineral Resources and $6 million budgeted at each of Mulatos and Lynn Lake.

“Since its acquisition in November 2017, the Island Gold mine has outperformed in every regard and validated our views on the quality of the asset. During 2018, we added one million ounces across all mineral reserve and resource categories at Island Gold, before mining depletion. The Island Gold deposit is approaching three million ounces in all categories, production is hitting new records and the operation is generating strong free cash flow, even with our continued aggressive investment in exploration.

We look forward to continuing to grow both mineral reserves and resources and production at Island Gold,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.

When your life is at stake, look for a reliable Crew Companion.

Monitoring solutions protect the lives of miners.

Even though we reached the 21st century, mines are still one of the most perilous working environments. According to the International Labour Organization around 1% of the world’s labor is engaged in mining and accounts for 5% of on-the-job fatalities. Thanks to technological progress safety systems for hazardous industries have become more and more sophisticated, like IDENTEC SOLUTIONS Crew Companion with a brand-new innovation for 2019.

Today, “Zero Harm” is a popular buzzword throughout the mining industry. Many initiatives have been launched: changes in the mine design, excavation monitoring, implementation of autonomous systems, explosion proof equipment etc. And even though all these impressive strides were the number of annual incidents is still too high.

Besides all the prevention measures, it is essential to consider what happens in the event of an actual emergency. A safety assistance solution is needed that offers a hundred percent reliability. With decades of on-thejob experience, IDENTEC SOLUTIONS this year launches an enhanced version of their Crew Companion, a tracking solution for personnel in the mining and tunnelling industries.

The system offers real-time visibility of personnel throughout the mine by implementing a robust turnkey solution that divides the mine into zones. Workers are equipped with transponders that enable the system to locate them continuously. In case of an emergency the rescue coordinator can immediately identify people at risk and act accordingly.

Incidents in mines do not always need to assume alarming proportions as Mikael Winnebäck, business developer IT of LKAB, tells us: “In our underground mine in Kiruna, we have, as a rule, events of fire caused by vehicles. Then Crew Companion is of great use, not only to check how many people are in the mine, but also in which zone. It is all about retaining control to keep people safe.”

As a long term partner of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, LKAB knows that the value of the system - not only in emergency situations. Their daily work includes scheduled blasts every night to unlock new working zones.

During the blasting no personnel must be in the danger zones. Crew Companion gives immediate visibility of workers located in these areas whereby they can be contacted and instructed to move to a safe area. This guarantees an uninterrupted workflow in the mine. A very important consideration, as the delay of a single blast can cause a loss of three million EUR. Crew Companion easily scales up as the size of the mine increases. A mine like Kiruna can have as many as 600 workers per shift, while projects like the world’s largest copper mine El Teniente in Chile – also using the IDENTEC SOLUTIONS system - need to handle about 3,000 workers per shift. With an enhanced transponder and software, Crew Companion now manages 3,000+ workers with the same accuracy as before. Not only allowing to locate them within the mine, but also to register workers at access points. The access control module allows the registration of whole work groups entering/leaving the mine in buses. These improvements provide a quick and effortless commencement of work and enables automated attendance recording.

Due to a new hardware design with a lightweight ATEX certified transceiver replacing the currently used heavy steel cabinets, the installation becomes very simple and increases the flexibility to adapt and alter mustering zones. The new solution will be presented at the Canadian Mining Expo in June 2019. For more information come and visit our team at the exhibition or contact us at: www.identecsolutions.com Page 32

Pan American Silver buys Tahoe What’s the future of Timmins operations?

Tahoe staff, dignitaries, contractors and more who took part of the official opening of the Bell Creek shaft. Maija Hoggett/TimminsToday By: Frank Giorno

Since Pan American Silver purchased Tahoe Resources in November, 2018 the question on the minds of residents in the Timmins Gold Region is what role will the Timmins West Gold Mine, Bell Creek Mine and Mill have in Pan American Silver’s future? ”Tahoe’s Timmins Operations have been incorporated into Pan American Silver’s business and not much change can be seen that is visible,” said Siren Fisekci VP, Investor Relations and Corporate Communications. “The same operational team is in place managing the mines on our behalf,” Siren added. “The name will continue as Tahoe Resources.” As for the long term, Siren said, Pan American Silver is still focusing on completing the integration of Tahoe Resources into Pan American Silver.

The prize in the transaction in the $1.07 Billion purchase of Tahoe Resources is the shuttered Tahoe Escobal Mine in Guatemala. But Pan

Page 34

American Silver produces more than silver.

Pan American Silver’s primary focus is on silver mining, but the company also mines gold and base metals as by-product of silver mining. In 2018, Pan American actually produced more gold per oz. than silver - 178 thousand oz. gold compared to 25 thousand oz. for silver. Pan American also had a sizeable zinc, lead and copper production.

“Our acquisition of Tahoe Resources doubles our silver reserves, expands our geographic diversification, and results in Pan American becoming the largest publicly-traded silver mining company by free float,” said Michael Steinmann, the President and CEO of Pan American Silver in a letter to shareholders contained in the company’s 2018 annual report.

Operations at Escobal are currently suspended pending completion of an ILO 169 consultation process, court approval and com-

munity engagement efforts to build a social license.The Escobal Mine was ordered to close in 2017 by the Guatemala Supreme Court and more public consultations were ordered. The deal was structured so that payments for the Escobal portion would be made once the mine became operational.

Along with Escobal, Pan America Silver acquired from Tahoe the La Arena and Shahuindo gold mines, located in northwestern Peru; the Bell Creek gold mine and mill and the Timmins West gold mine located in Timmins.

Timmins Mayor George Pirie in the State of the City Address on January 24, 2019 acknolwedged the concern caused by Pan American Silver’s takeover of Tahoe Resources.

Addressing the purchase of Tahoe, Mayor Pirie was optimistic that Pan American Silver would continue to the Timmins mining operations.

“As we know Pan American Silver has made a takeover offer for Tahoe which of course would include the Timmins West and Bell Creek Mine and Mill.

On February 12, 2019 officials from Tahoe Resources and Pan American Silver were on hand for the opening of the new Bell Creek Shaft. The deal closed on February 22, 2019.

The Bell Creek Shaft will eventually measure 2,000 metres in depth and will double production to 80,000 oz of gold per year.

Pan American Silver’s Outlook for 2019 issued in its 2018 Annual Report on March 12, 2019 does not include the assets acquired under the Tahoe acquisition. They do plan on including the Tahoe assests in the second quarter updated guidance document.

In the meantime it will be business as usual at Timmins West and Bell Creek.

Detour Gold

Michael (Mick) McMullen, a man with a successful history in international mining, was named chief executive officer and director of Detour Gold in April, 2019 bringing a steady hand to steer the Ontario- based gold company into calmer waters after a stormy 2018.

McMullen whose appointment was effective as May 1, 2019, has over 25 years of international experience in the mining industry with an accomplished background in all aspects of the mining business, including exploration, permitting, mine development, financing, operations, product sales, and asset acquisition and divestments as well as the debt and equity markets. He has managed multiple operations (open pit and underground mines) across multiple jurisdictions. His experience covers a range of commodities, including copper, gold, iron ore and PGMs. “I am excited to be joining the Company and look forward to working with the team to continue to build a leading mid-tier gold producer with a strong safety culture and cost performance. The Company has a unique asset with a long mine life in a lowrisk jurisdiction that has the potential to deliver significant value to sharePage 36

holders. I look forward to engaging with the Company’s stakeholders to provide our vision for the way forward for the Company.”

Since 2018, Mr. McMullen has been a senior advisor to Black Mountain LLC, a private company engaged in identifying and capturing highgrowth opportunities within the natural resource space.

“We are delighted to welcome Mick to the CEO role. We will greatly benefit from his wealth of experience and his proven track record of building and leading successful teams, employing strict capital discipline, and delivering outstanding returns to investors, “ said Interim Chair of the Board of Detour Gold, Dawn Whittaker, commented. “We look forward to his leadership in taking the Company through its next phase of growth and development.”

McMullen was Chief Executive Officer and a Director of platinum and palladium (“PGM”) producer Stillwater Mining Company from 2013 to 2017 prior to its acquisition by Sibanye Gold Limited for an equity value of US$2.2 billion.

Under his leadership, Stillwater attained its best safety performance ever, reduced AISC/PGM ounce by approximately one third, expanded its PGM recycling business to be the largest in the world and added approximately US$1.1 billion in equity value against a backdrop of a 10% fall in PGM prices.

Prior to joining the Stillwater Mining Company, McMullen served as a Principal at MRI Advisory AG, a private company focusing on the development of metal and minerals projects in the Americas, Europe and Africa. He was responsible for managing the mining investments of the Principals and supervising the technical due diligence for a variety of commodity-backed funding structures. Following MRI Advisory

Looks to steady leadership!

(the predecessor of GT Gold Corp) from 2011 to 2016; Executive Chairman of Lachlan Star Ltd. from 2007 to 2013; and Managing Director of Northern Iron Ltd. from 2007 to 2009 and President of Northern Iron Marketing AG until June 2010.

McMullen holds a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from Newcastle University in New South Wales and pursued graduate studies in mineral economics at Western Australian School of Mines. McMullen’s appointment comes, after a turbulent last quarter of 2018, which saw the successful replacement of Detour Gold’s board by a vote in December, 2018 forced by rebellious shareholders led by investor John Paulson, who were concerned about the poor performance of the company.

Detour’s share price climbed up to $12.58 Cdn after the annnouncement after McMullen’s appointment.

Detour’s stock had been valued at $33 Cdn in 2016 and dropped to $9.62 Cdn by October, 2018.

With the hiring of the experienced Michael McMullen, Detour hopes to improve the company’s performance and increase its share value.

Detour Gold is a mid-tier gold producer in Canada that holds a 100% interest in the Detour Lake mine, a long life large-scale open pit operation. Detour Gold’s shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol DGC. Detour Gold’s mine is located 300 km northeast of Timmins. The mine is expected to have a life of approximately 23 years with gold production of about 659,000 oz. per year. The operation is being expanded with the West Detour site in the process of being permitted.

Harte Gold releases 2019 feasability study By: Frank Giorno

Harte Gold’s Sugar Zone mine is located near White River, Ontario, 80 km east of Barrick’s Hemlo Gold camp, one of the legendary camps in Ontario’s gold mining history. Hemlo has produced about 30 million oz. of gold over its 30 years of operations.

Nearby are the Island Mine now operated by Alamos Gold (2.5 million oz produced) and Wesdome Gold’s Eagle River mine.

The mines are located on the western end of the Abitibi-Greenstone belt which also includes the Timmins mining area with more than 71 million oz produced in over 100 year of mining.

The official opening for Sugar Zone took place in October, 2018 and quite the opening it was with Premier Doug Ford and Greg Rickford, Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines on to hand to mark the occassion with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

On January 1, 2019 Sugar Zone declared full production becoming Ontario’s newest operating gold

mine.

As with all new operating mines, Harte Gold faced challenges in its first couple of months.

Over the first two months of 2019, severe winter conditions temporarily impacted mining activities and rampup of operations. Contractor equipment failures and manpower issues in January and February caused a temporary slow-down to mining and unprecedented cold weather froze water in the tailings management facility, constraining process water supply and mill throughput.

These issues have since been corrected and by March, the underground mining and process rates have significantly improved. The company is achieving plan goals and expects similar performance levels moving forward.

In April, 2019 Harte Gold released a feasibility study that declared reserves to be 890,000 oz of gold at 7.1 g/tonne from 9 million tonnes of ore at a net mining dilution of 38%.

The feasibility study pegged annual production to be 61,000 oz. over a 14 year mine life that will

generate $30 million annually in net free cash flow at US$1,300/oz gold.

The mine and mill are operational with no additional construction capital expenditures required.

Costs are well defined based on contracted rates and operating experience. The cash cost is US$648/oz and all in sustaining cost (“AISC”) is US$851/oz.

The feasibility study confirms increases in production to 95,000 oz. annually can be achieved at reduced cash cost through benefits of scale.

The study also found that conversion of near mine inferred mineralization will extend mine life and reduce mining development cost per tonne of ore processed.

The installation of a leach circuit to process flotation concentrate onsite will also reduce costs and increase payable ounces.

To bolster its financial position advanced discussions are underway with Appian and Sprott to refinance existing facilities with existing and/ Cont’d on pg. 39

There’s Gold West of Timmins!

GFG Resources Discovers High Grade Gold at Pen Gold

By: Frank Giorno

There’s more gold west of Timmins!

GFG Resources, a Saskatoonbased, mineral exploration company has found evidence of highgrade gold at its Pen Gold Project, 40 km. west of Timmins.

GFG Resources was formed two years ago with three senior managers having worked together at Claude Resources and that includes - Brian Skanderbeg, President and CEO. The company is focusing its gold exploration activities in Ontario and Wyoming. The company’s Ontario ventures are located in the Timmins area.

The Pen Gold Project is located 50 kilometres southwest of the prolific gold district and town of Timmins, Ontario. The property represents a land package of approximately 475 square kilometres and is situated between Goldcorp’s Borden Gold project and Tahoe Resources’ West Timmins Mine.

The property consists of a 40-kilometer-long section of Archean greenstone that contains the interpreted western extension of the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone within the same geological setting that hosts most of the gold deposits found in the Timmins Gold Camp.

The Dore Gold Project is located 40 kilometres east of Goldcorp’s Borden gold project and 30 kilometres northwest of IAMGOLD’s Cote Lake gold project in Ontario. The Dore Gold Project land package is approximately 205 square kilometres and covers a 12-kilometrelong section of Archean greenstone within the Swayze Greenstone Belt.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, Page 42

the company completed 19 holes (4,744 metres) testing at the Pen Gold property at the Sewell, Deerfoot, Crawford, HGM and Nib-Yellowknife targets.

“It’s exciting when you can step out as a geologist, generate a concept, put all the work together, get permits and then execute it on the ground and make a relevant discovery,” said Brian Skanderbeg.

The results from the first six drill holes returned high grades of gold at the Pen 18-015 at the Sewell system to confirm historic drill results. Drill results returned a finding of 33.77 g/t Gold over 1.05 metres.

This result validated the historic drilling down-dip that returned 7.63 g/t Au over 3.57 m including 33.46 g/t Au over 0.61 m.

But that’s not all. At the Deerfoot site the Crawford target in hole PEN 18016 returned a grading 21.26 g/t Au over 1.7 m. The other high-grade gold was detected at the HGM target where 9.20 g/t Au over 0.9 m in hole PEN 18-013 which is located 400 m east of the Crawford target also at the Deerfoot location.

Lower-grade gold was detected at the Nib-Yellowknife target, PEN 18017: 0.89 g/t Au over 7.0 m. The drill results successfully intercepted multiple zones of mineralization with visible gold present.

“We are very pleased with our discovery at Crawford and the high success rate of intercepting highgrade gold mineralization in the inaugural drill program at the Pen

Gold Project,” said Skanderbeg.

In 2018, the company also completed a Phase 1 and Phase 2 regional till sampling program the first of its kind on the property. The till sampling consisted of 108 till samples for a total of 467 till samples collected in 2018. The phase 1 results that returned up to 2,470 ppb gold and 142 gold grains. Phase 2 results are pending and expected to be received and announced in Q1 2019. Results were still pending as of this writing.

GFG Resources 2019 drilling program will further define the amount and grade of gold on their Pen Gold Property and, the company plans to drill about 8,000 metres in two phases.

“2019 will be a very exciting and a catalyst-rich year as we execute aggressive drill programs at both the Pen Gold Project and the Rattlesnake Hills Gold Project, each having the potential to yield gold discoveries,” Skanderbeg added.

The Phase 1 drill program GFG Resources plans to test three targets in the 20 sq. km Jehann region. The testing will consist of 4,000 metres in 13-15 holes ranging in length from 150 to 300 metres with the objective to test six highly prospective targets in the Reeves, Jehann, Deerfoot and Slate Rock regions on the Pen Gold property. The six drill targets have never been drilled before. The drilling was expected to Cont’d on pg. 42

GFG planned drilling to test

be completed by late April.

At the time of writing, results had not yet been released

by GFG Resources.

Areas to Be Drilled The Jehann Region is a geologically complex area containing multiple eastwest trending shear zones.

Drilling will begin in the eastern Jehann area, where regional till samples returned 122 gold grains, of which more than 94% were pristine-shaped. The second target to be tested within the Jehann region is located five km to the west, where historic grab samples returned values of up to 4.7 grams of gold per tonne (â&#x20AC;&#x153;g/t Auâ&#x20AC;?).

The third target occurs where north-trending altered mafic and ultramafic rocks are dragged into a first-order east-trending shear zone that dissects the Reeves Ultramafic Complex. Resistivity anomalies in this area are indicative of diorite or felsic porphyry intrusions which provide potential competency contrasts, increasing the likelihood of gold accumulation. Drilling in this area will target the flanks of interpreted porphyry bodies at the intersection of north and east trending shear zones.

The Company plans to test two targets within the Reeves region where extensive cover has hindered historic exploration. The two targets are located on two distinct northeast to east-trending structural corridors that contain quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusions and deformed polymictic conglomerate horizons that are interpreted to be analogous to Timiskaming conglomerates that mark important mineralizing structures within the central Timmins Page 44

gold camp.

The productivity of the northern corridor was confirmed by historic surface grab samples which returned gold values up to 4.4 g/t Au. The planned drill holes will test the eastern limit of the porphyry body where it is disrupted by northwest trending structures and terminates in an area of no exposure. Within the southern corridor, an historic surface grab samples at the NibYellowknife showing returned gold values up to 13.6 g/t Au and 37.6 g/t Au from north-east trending quartz-carbonate shears and eastnortheast extensional veins.

At the Slate Rock Region much of the area is covered by overburden and has seen limited to no drilling.

Elevated gold values (up to 1.0 g/t Au) occur in outcropping porphyry where it is sheared, veined and carbonate-sericite altered. Historic samples of glacially transported boulders returned up to 18 g/t Au. Till samples collected in 2018 confirm the regional prospectively returning high percentages (up to 70%) of pristine shaped gold grains (up to 66 grains). Drilling in this area will focus on the southern contact of the main porphyry body.

The Deerfoot region is centered on a four-kilometre trend of the interpreted westward extension of the Destor Porcupine Fault Zone and associated second-order fault splays that has seen limited historic drilling (See Figure 2). The structure and nature of mineralization in the area are analogous to that which hosts the Timmins West, Thunder Creek and the 144 Gap gold deposits currently being mined or developed by Pan American Silver Corp. 15 kilometres to the northeast.

To date, three high grade gold prospects occur within the Deerfoot region: HGM, Sewell and Crawford sites. Recent drilling by the Company at the Sewell prospect confirmed the high-grade gold nature of the mineralization in this area returning intercepts of 33.8 g/t Au over 1.05 metres and 12.1 g/t Au over 0.85 metres in deformed pyroxenite horizons within the Sewell intrusive complex. At the HGM prospect, in central Deerfoot, historic drill assays returned up to 43.0 g/t Au over 1.50 metres in sulphidized carbonate-altered mafic volcanic rocks within a shear zone.

If Ontario is now “Open For Business”,

does it include mining?

Ontario’s premier says

By: Kevin Vincent

The pendulum of Ontario politics is swinging in a direction it hasn’t seen for more than a decade and a half and the resource sector is keeping a close eye on its momentum.

The 2018 election of a Conservative government led by Doug Ford put the brakes on what many in the mining and exploration sector feel was a race to investment obscurity.

In an exclusive interview with Mining Life and Exploration News, premier Ford is adamant that the Ring of Fire is a priority for his government. “We continue to move forward on the Ring of Fire,” he said.

“Significant progress has been made, including the environmental assessment led by two First Nations.”

Ford raised eyebrows during the 2018 election campaign when he suggested he would hop on a bulldozer himself to kickstart the project.

Under successive Liberal governments, Ontario’s reputation as an attractive jurisdiction to conduct resource-based enterprise, especially mining, dwindled horrendously.

Premier Ford instructed government bureaucrats to reverse the trend. “At PDAC (Prospectors and Developers Association annual

Page 46

yes!

conference) this year, our government announced a mining working group, made up of sector leaders to help guide our government in reducing red tape in mining and help more projects get off the ground. We are excited about the important work of this group and their recommendations moving forward,” Ford said.

In its April budget, the Ford government laid out a number of initiatives that it hopes will restore Ontario as one of the world’s premiere mining jurisdictions.

Even before the budget was unveiled, the government took aim at the Far North Act (FNA), implemented by the Liberal government in 2010. In February 2019, Finance Minister Vic Fedeli, announced that the FNA would undergo a 45-day consultation period. And while indigenous leaders have yet to come to any specific agreements or terms with the new Conservative government, they too have been critical of the FNA. Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler has stated publicly that he welcomes another look at the legislation as “it was enacted without meaningful consultation”. He said it overlaps and, in some cases, threatens long-standing treaty rights.

The Ontario Prospectors Associa-

tion believes the implementation of components of the FNA were lacking a full scientific review and justification when the context of economic/social realities. “The determination that 50% of the Far North be protected lands (effectively parks) did not adequately take into consideration of the lands required for potential economic development,” wrote OPA Executive Director Garry Clark in a letter to the program manager of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

“Sterilization of lands is poor sighted whereas multi-use or enhanced management designations allow the development of assets and infrastructure as required,” he added.

The OPA further stated it endorses the repeal of the Far North Act and the examination to determine if it should be placed into the Public Lands Act by way of amendment.

On other fronts, when it comes to mining, Fedeli’s first budget announced what it calls “historic investments in Northern Ontario’s mining and forestry sectors.”

Along with those investments, the Ford government created a spe-

Province looks to put Northern Ontario at forefront of Ontario`s Plan cial Mining Working Group to, in its words, reduce red tape and attract major new investments to Northern Ontario.

Even the federal government’s carbon tax is weaved into the government’s position on mining. “On April 1, 2019 the federal government began imposing its job killing carbon tax on the people of Ontario and three other Canadian provinces.

The federal government has done so despite the overwhelming evidence that a carbon tax is one of the most regressive tax increases in the history of Canada, and one which is expected to increase the typical Ontario household’s cost of living by $258 in 2019, rising to $648 per year by 2022. Amongst the hardest hit people will be seniors and lower and middle income families who will be least able to absorb skyrocketing gas prices and home heating costs. A carbon tax will also make automotive, manufacturing, transportation, mining and forestry activities increasingly unaffordable in Ontario and put thousands of jobs at risk,” states the budget.

The Mining Working Group will focus on reducing red tape and attracting major new investments.

The group is chaired by Greg Rickford, the Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines and includes members from mining and

exploration companies, prospectors and Indigenous business organizations. Rickford is the MPP from Kenora-Rainy River. Members of the group will provide the Province with input on important issues affecting the minerals sector, while identifying opportunities to ensure future growth, competitiveness and prosperity.

Notwithstanding critics who feared otherwise, the Ford government is pushing ahead with provincial revenue-sharing agreements with at least three First Nations groups.

“Ontario is one of the most attractive jurisdictions for mineral exploration in the world and accounts for about 25 per cent of Canada’s total exploration expenditures.

There are opportunities to increase economic activity from resource exploration and development while ensuring Indigenous communities benefit from the resource sector,” said Finance Minister Fedeli.

To support opportunities for employment and the financial success of Indigenous communities, the Province will move forward with the agreements signed with the Grand Council Treaty #3, the Wabun Tribal Council and the Mushkegowuk Council to share resource revenues from mining and forestry.

“At the same time, the Province will continue to explore options to advance resource revenue sharing opportunities with other Indigenous partners and Northern communities, including in the mining, forestry and aggregates sectors,” states the budget.

On the all-important topic of energy and its broad impact across the province, the ministry has developed a new vision statement: Energy Northern Development and Mines - Vision Statement: The Province continues to fix expensive and confusing electricity programs and is creating an energy system that works for Ontario’s families, farms and small businesses. The Province is committed to making electricity bills more transparent and to lowering electricity costs for residential, farm and small business customers by 12 per cent. As a result of this transparency, the full fiscal costs of rate mitigation are reflected in the government’s books.

The Province will view all decisions on electricity through the lens of reducing costs. For example, the government plans to refocus and centralize the delivery of conservation programs to save electricity customers and taxpayers up to $442 million over the next three years.

The Province will continue to put Northern Ontario at the forefront of Ontario’s Plan for the People and help ensure these communities can improve their competitiveness and attract new mining investments.

On the issue of consultation with First Nations groups, Ford told Mining Life and Exploration News that he and his government are committed to a two-way dialogue. “Ontario has a duty to consult impacted First Nations on major projects. We take this duty seriously and will continue to engage our First Nations partners,” he said.

Hardrock Gold Project

Revives Gold Mining in Geraldton Area

By: Frank Giorno

The Geraldton-Beardmore area has a lengthy mining history. The Town of Geraldton even uses a mining headframe in its corporate logo. Now a proposal by Greenstone Gold Mines GP to develop the Hardrock Gold Project will make mining a major part of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

Greenstone Gold Mines is the company formed by a joint venture between Premier Gold Mines Ltd. and Centerra Gold Inc. that will develop and bring into production the Hardrock Gold Project.

The company began its 2019 drilling program, which includes drilling 75 reverse circulation holes totalling 7,000 metres and 51 core holes totalling 12,900 metres.

The ongoing 2019 drilling program, which includes drilling 75 reverse circulation holes totalling 7,000 metres and 51 core holes totalling 12,900 metres, will be completed by late-April, 2019. Reconciliation of the program results and integra-

Page 48

tion of the data into a final resource model will be completed during Q2 2019. Premier Gold anticipates reporting on the final results of the updated resource block model during the third quarter of 2019.

Reverse circulation (RC) drilling uses a bit attached to a down-hole hammer to produce a hole. Unlike diamond drilling, RC drilling produces samples of rock cuttings rather than a sample of rock core.

The down-hole hammer is powered by compressed air, which also acts as the medium bringing the drill cuttings up to surface.

Greenstone Gold Minesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; objective is to become a gold producer, focused on the environment and social responsibility.

The plan calls for the construction, operation, decommissioning and closure of an open pit gold mine and associated ancillary activities, collectively known as the Hardrock Project.

Greenstone Gold Mines feasibility study envision the open pit life of

mine to be 14.5 years Gold production is estimated to be 4.2 million ounces at 1.02 g Au/t.

A gold price of US $1,250 per oz ($1,665 Cdn) was used to calculate the financial benefits of the project.

To process the ore a mill will be built on site with a throughput design for 27,000/t of ore per day with the possibility to extend up to 30,000/t per day.

The project will have a capital cost of $1.25 billion with an after tax payback period of 4.5 years. About 450 jobs will be created over the life of the mine.

The joint venture accomplished two major milestones on its way to being fully permitted to begin commercial extraction of gold. It has received federal environmental approval in December, 2018 and provincial environmental assessment approvals in March, 2019.

The main objective of the 2019 workplan is to continue preparing Contâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d on pg. 48

ment of the mine will result in the diversion of Highway 11 around the pit and diverting some water bodies south of the deposit.

The area was mined between 1930 and 1970, and over that span produced more than 4.0 million ounces of gold from multiple underground mines. It was known as the MacLeod-Mosher complex.

The property was acquired

by Greenstone Gold Mines in 2008. At one point the company had planned to dewater the old underground mine, but changed directions and now will develop an open pit mine.

Kidd Creek Life of mine extension still a waiting game By: Kevin Vincent No decisions yet. As speculation continues to mount, officials at Glencore are still evaluating the possible life of mine extension for the Kidd Creek operation.

As Mining Life and Exploration News reported in our Winter 20182019 edition, the owners of the world’s deepest base metals mine are pondering whether to pursue production targets below the 10,000 foot level, which would extend the life of mine beyond 2022, the year the company maintains publicly will be its last year of production.

“The exploration program targeting mineralization below 3 km commenced in 2018 and it is much too soon to conclude anything from preliminary results,” said Kidd Operations General Manager, Mark Furlotte. “We can confirm the first phase of this exploration program in 2019 will focus on a 17,000m drilling program, underground development, and conceptual engineering studies. Kidd is investing significant time and efforts into this exploration project to see if we can extend the mine life. But as everyone in the mining industry knows, defining an extension of a mine re52 Page 50

quires significant time and drilling meters, so we don’t expect an answer anytime soon.”

Neither Furlotte nor Glencore can confirm when the company expects to conclude its analysis.

“Uncertainty is part of the nature of exploration and the focus at this time is completing the necessary underground development to optimize drilling locations for the 2019 drilling program,” he added.

In 2018, the company announced that production at the 50-year old copper and zinc mine would cease in 2022, forcing its highly-skilled workforce to either retire, or look for work elsewhere. In addition, the company’s annual contractorspend of nearly $100 million would also begin to dwindle.

The unique copper-zinc orebody, a replica of which has never been uncovered anywhere else in the world, has generally and loosely been described as an hourglass.

Since its discovery in the 1950’s, successive Kidd owner-operators have produced billions of dollarsworth of base metals commodities.

And while production would be curtailed, the company would then begin a massive mine closure

program, expected to take several years.

The engineering challenge for the new discovery boils down to whether it makes economic sense for the company to penetrate that new orebody. Infrastructure, including the company’s VOD or Ventilation on Demand system, as well as its fiberoptic communications system and automated loaders are already established, all positive mitigating factors that the company’s Swiss owners will evaluate.

As for the mine’s 2022 end of production timeline, Furlotte says that marker hasn’t moved just yet. “The mining industry is used to the fact that a life of mine is a moving target and the current mine plan gets us well into second half of 2022. Five years ago, the life of mine for Kidd was expected to be around 2018.

Since then, a lot of successful projects have been implemented by Kidd personnel to extend mine life by the adoption of new technologies such as Ventilation on Demand and autonomous LHD operations.

We continue to focus on optimising the operations to ensure we safely operate in the most cost-efficient manner to increase the quantify of ore that can be economically extracted from the deposit.”

Ontario Prospectors Association grabbing government bureaucrats by the ears

Ontario Prospector Association, Executive Director, Garry Clark By: Kevin Vincent

Ontario’s prospectors have a renewed bounce in their step, and they are going to great lengths to make certain the new Ontario government pays attention. Overall, when it comes to 2019 and beyond, the Ontario Prospector Association’s Executive Director Garry Clark told Mining Life and Exploration News that he is cautiously optimistic about exploration’s future. The Ontario Prospectors Association (OPA), based in Thunder Bay, represents seven associations across the province. Clark has a seat at the table with the government’s new Mining Working Group, chaired by Energy, Northern Development and Mines Minister Greg Rickford.

In an open letter to Rickford shortly after his appointment to the committee in March of this year, Clark was blunt in pointing out that government bureaucrats and ministerial staff need to become acutely aware of the stunning timelines that some mining operations have endured to

Page 54

be green lit for production.

“We acknowledge that this new government is trying to get their legs under them right now,” Clark said.

“The Mining Working Group is a nice balance of producing mine representation and explorationists, but the real challenge are the minister’s staff. Some of them just don’t understand,” he added.

“It is critical that your staff comprehends the mining sequence and the timelines associated with mineral discovery to production,” wrote Clark. “The components to discover an economic deposit are complicated and getting to production can take years.”

Examples of the lengthy timeline are numerous and include: New Gold’s Rainy River Deposit (discovery to production 34 years), Musselwhite (40 years), Harte Gold (50 years).

The OPA didn’t walk into its first working group meeting unprepared.

In the letter to Rickford, they laid out a detailed five-point plan of attack that its members believe will restore Ontario to becoming the number one jurisdiction in which to conduct exploration and mining.

5 suggestions

1. The plans and permits system requires an overhaul to allow a more expedited process. The potential is to streamline the system to allow a certain level of exploration that is known to occur that does not require plans or permits. Flexibility in planning early exploration through to initial drilling cannot be emphasized enough. It is very difficult to permit in advance exactly where the first “pre-discovery” drill holes on a pro-

gram will be. These levels could be on a notification basis to First Nation Communities. The requirement is that an understanding by the Communities of the basic Mining Sequence. Early exploration have minimal footprints on the landscape.

2. A determination of the First Nation Communities Traditional Lands needs to be illustrated allowing explorers to know who they would need to consult with after claim acquisition. This is a mapping exercise that would require interaction of various First Nation Communities.

Presently certain First Nation Communities are trying to restrict claim acquisition on parts of their asserted traditional territory this needs to be addressed.

3. As projects progress toward production, companies need to have stability as to which First Nation Communities they need to develop relationships with. The need for knowledge of effected Communities should have a cut off point. Having to consult with two Communities at the early stages and ending up with twelve at production isn’t feasible.

4. Support of the Prospectors and Junior Companies is required to place Ontario on the same level as other Provinces. Comparable flow through rates would assist as well as a rebate system for exploration.

Explorers in other Provinces enjoy a % refund on exploration. The recent Junior Exploration Assistance Program funded by NOHFC was a very successful with 61 projects funded by the $4.1 million with companies stating they intend to spend an additional $42 million.

5. Geoscience funding for the Ontario Geological Survey. Part of the reason that Ontario was the #1 jurisdiction in the past was the quality and current nature of the geoscience data. The Rainy River Deposit is a result of high-quality geoscience by the OGS. Geoscience knowledge of areas of the Far North is critical as lands of high potential could be lost to poor land use planning.

Junior mining companies have found it tough to raise money these days as the lions’ share of risk capital is being funneled into cannabis stocks. Clark feels that will be a short-term trend. “Eventually you’re going to see a lot of those (cannabis) stocks consolidate and the return won’t be as high. Then you’ll start to see more capital flow back toward our industry,” he said.

Major milestone for Magino Project Magino Gold Project EA Approved

By: Frank Giorno

Magino Gold Project Receives Federal Environmental Approval Signs Agreement with Batchewan First Nations.

The Magino Gold Project got a major boost this past spring when Environment Canada gave environmental approval to proceed developing an open pit gold mine 14 km south-east of Dubreuilville, near Wawa, Ontario.

The Magino Gold Project is proposed by Prodigy Gold Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Argonaut Gold Incorporated.

“The approval of the EA is the completion of a major milestone for the Magino Project, a process that included cooperation of the Company, Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities and the Canadian government to the benefit of all stakeholders,” said Pete Dougherty, President & CEO of Argonaut Gold.

“Our plans in 2019 are to continue our work to secure other key authorizations required for the Project, as well as continue our detailed design and engineering efforts,“ Dougherty added.

The Magino Mine Project still requires environmental assessment approval by the Ontario government and various provincial permits, a construction permit and approval for its mine closure plan.

Page 56

The Company anticipates the conclusion of the Provincial EA l in the first half of 2019 and subsequent permitting and authorizations during 2020.

Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna granted approval to the Magino Project in a letter in which she said the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects when mitigation measures are taken into account.

“The Government is working to protect the environment while creating good jobs and growing the economy,” Minister MacKinnon said.

“My decision is based on rigorous scientific evidence, extensive public and Indigenous consultations and conditions to protect the land, water, wildlife and Indigenous rights,” MacKinnon added. The successful environmental assessment of this project could lead to hundreds of short and long term jobs in the mining sector, all while doing right by the environment.”

The Minister’s Decision Statement establishes 120 conditions to protect fish and fish habitat, migratory birds, human health, the current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes, and species at risk, and includes mitigation measures and requirements for a follow-up program that the proponent must fulfill.

The project, proposed by Prodigy Gold Incorporated, consists of the construction, operation, decommissioning, and abandonment of an open pit gold mine and onsite metal mill located near Dubreuilville, Ontario.

Prodigy Gold is proposing the redevelopment of the Magino Gold mine. The proposed project involves the construction, operation, decommissioning, and reclamation of an open-pit mine and metal mill.

Mining will occur over seven to eight years with an ore production capacity of 30,000 tonnes per day.

The on-site metal mill would have an ore input capacity of 15,000 tonnes per day and will operate for approximately 15 years.

The project, valued at $427 million, could create up to 550 jobs during construction and 350 during operations over the life of the project. The project proponent has committed to hiring locally, providing competitive wages and salaries, and working with regional and local educational institutions to coordinate training and maximize employment opportunities for local residents and Indigenous groups. The proponent also committed to maximizing local purchasing throughout all phases of the project.

In making her decision, MacKenna considered the company’s Environmental Assessment Report and

Argonaut Gold and Batchewana Bay First Nation sign agreement the comments received from the public and Indigenous groups.

The Government’s Interim Approach and Principles for environmental assessments ensures that project decisions are informed by meaningful consultations with Indigenous peoples, public input and scientific evidence, including Indigenous knowledge, and an assessment of greenhouse gas emissions.

“Successful environmental assessments lead to economic development for communities. The Magino Gold Project, like other projects in Northern Ontario that have gone through a rigorous environmental assessment by the Agency, can proceed to create hundreds of

good jobs for the communities and support clean economic growth.

After the Magino Project received federal environmental assessment approval, Argonaut Gold and Batchewana Bay First Nation signed an agreement that includes benefits from the development of the Magino mine, including employment, business opportunities, training and education initiatives. The agreement also incorporates processes on the shared commitment and BFN to protect the enviroment and build a long term mutally beneficial relationship.

“We value the cooperative relationship that has been developed with Batchewana First Nation and are pleased to enter ito this mutually beneficial Agreement,” said Pete

Dougherty, Argonaut Gold President and CEO. “ The success of the Magino project relies on our ability to communicate and work together with all our stakeholders. Both Argonaut and Batchewana First nation share this view and Argonaut is delighted to work together in this partnership.”

Chief Dean Sayer said the leadership of BFN were proud to join a partnership that has respected the core values put forth in its Notice of Assertions.

“We commend the hard work of Batchewana Natural Resource Department for getting us to this stage and implementing environmental impact process that surpass those of Ontario and Canada,” Chief Sayers said.

FIRST COBALT establishing a North American supply chain for Ethical Cobalt By: Frank Giorno

First Cobalt announced it has successfully produced a battery grade cobalt sulfate at its cobalt refinery in Cobalt, Ontario.

The results mean First Cobalt is closer to restarting the only permit-

ted cobalt refinery in North America. The refinery would become the only North American producer of refined cobalt for the North American EV market once it becomes fully operational.

“Producing a battery grade cobalt

sulfate is one of our most significant accomplishments as the majority of refined cobalt for the electric vehicle market is produced in Asia,” said Trent Mell, First Cobalt President & Chief Executive Officer.

“With no cobalt sulfate production in North America today, First Cobalt stands to become the first such producer for the American electric vehicle market,” Mell added.

Mell also travelled to Shanghai, China in April to speak at the Fastmarkets MB Battery Materials 2019 conference.

In conjunction with this conference, Mell met with several potential investors to discuss restart scenarios for the First Cobalt Refinery. Conference participants included some of the world’s largest cobalt miners, battery makers and electric vehicle companies.

Electric cars, such as the Tesla models or the Nissan Leaf are powered by lithium-ion batteries that also require cobalt and graphite to retain their electrical charge. Lithium and graphite supplies are plentiful, but cobalt is scarcer and this worries electric battery and electric vehicle manufacturers.

About 60 per cent of the world’s cobalt supply comes from the unstable Democratic Republic of the Congo. Makers of North American electric car batteries such as Tesla want alternate sources of cobalt that are ethically produced or they want to eliminate it altogether.

Elon Musk has referred to cobalt as the blood-diamonds of batteries.

First Cobalt’s (FCC) vision is to establish a North American supply chain of ethically produced cobalt including exploration, develop-

The successful testing of First Cobalt Refinery in Cobalt, Ontario marks an important step in realizing a North American supply chain.

The input ore was assayed at 20.8% cobalt, surpassing the reference grade for sulfate pricing. The refined product was classified as “high purity”, achieving over 99.9% purity.

The refinery has the potential to

produce up to 2,000 tonnes of cobalt per annum as the process excluded use of autoclave circuit, allowing for increase in plant throughput.

The First Cobalt Refinery is ideally suited to treat North American arsenic-rich mine concentrate. The Company has been testing third

party cobalt hydroxide as an alternative source of feed. The test results confirmed that the existing processes in the First Cobalt Refinery are capable of producing a high

purity, battery grade cobalt sulfate.

The plans to start up the First Cobalt Refinery has received significant interest from miners and automotive companies. First Cobalt’s objective is to secure a long-term feed purchase agreement, offtake for the sale of refined cobalt and financing for the capital requirements. It is estimated that the refinery could be operational 18-24 months from the selection of a feed source.

“Electric vehicle demand in North America will keep growing as companies such as Fisker Inc. continue to introduce new, affordable EV models to the market. Automakers and battery manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure any materials we use in our batteries are sourced in an ethical way,” said Henrik Fisker, the chairman of Fisker Inc., a California-based electric battery and electric car producer. Fisker also is a member of First Cobalt’s Board of Directors.

The First Cobalt team is dedicated to ensuring projects maintain the highest standards of ethical mining practices and environmental protection. The restart of the First Cobalt Refinery is an important step towards producing battery materials in America with a clean record from mine to machine.

A cash flow projection study undertaken by the Primero Group study indicates that a restart of the refinery could be financed by non-equity sources of capital, limiting dilution for First Cobalt shareholders and generating a steady source of cash flow to fund future activities at the Company’s flagship Iron Creek mine Project in Idaho, USA. SGS Canada was contracted to test cobalt hydroxide using the processes in the current refinery

Cobalt Refinery Produces High Grades flowsheet to assess its suitability as feedstock. Tests simulated the existing circuits to determine the ability to produce a cobalt sulfate heptahydrate (“cobalt sulfate”), a critical component of lithium-ion batteries.

In addition, to cobalt sulphate production, the cobalt hydroxide feed tested in this program had head grades in excess of 20% cobalt.

By contrast, many other sources of cobalt hydroxide have head grades approaching 30% cobalt, providing yet another opportunity for higher production.

Furthermore, the cobalt hydroxide used in these tests is currently

sold at approximately 60% of the prevailing cobalt price which could offer good margin opportunities based on the findings of the previously released restart study.

“We are encouraged by the interest shown in this strategic asset by cobalt miners and EV companies alike and intend to move swiftly to secure long-term feed supply and offtake contracts, “ said Trent Mell, the First Cobalt, President and CEO. “We are currently exploring a number of non-dilutive financing options for the capital requirements to restart the facility. We intend to have further updates on all aspects of the project over the next quarter

as we complete these discussions.”

First Cobalt is a Canadian-based pure-play cobalt company and owner of the only permitted primary cobalt refinery in North America. The Company is studying a restart of the First Cobalt Refinery in Ontario, Canada, which could produce 2,000 tonnes of cobalt sulfate or metallic cobalt per year. First Cobalt’s main cobalt project is the Iron Creek Cobalt Project in Idaho, USA, which has Inferred mineral resources of 26.9 million tonnes grading 0.11% cobalt equivalent, or an alternative underground-only scenario of 4.4 million tonnes grading 0.3% cobalt equivalent.

Reality

Augmented and virtual By: Kevin Vincent Is it the next big thing? According to Gartner, one of the world’s leading research and advisory companies, as many as 100 million consumers will be shopping for products utilizing augmented and virtual reality methods by this time next year.

However, if you thought the terms augmented reality and virtual re-

ality are the exclusive domains of retail, the gaming industry, or education, think again. The impact of these two emerging technologies is having a dramatic impact across all sectors, including engineering, architecture, design, manufacturing, and construction.

augmented reality: We know the earth is a physical object. Google has digitally photographed the entire planet, including the streets and homes of almost every town and city, and layered it over the earth like a cosmic blanket, in effect – they created the earth’s digital twin. Using your smartphone or any computer, you can instantly travel to any destination on the planet with the click or tap of your finger.

Now imagine that every building, every piece of equipment, every vehicle, every water and sewer system, every electrical or power system, also has a digital twin. And imagine, embedded in that twin, is information or instructions on how it operates, what its’ quirks are, or remarkably, legacy advice from someone who has operated that device throughout his or her career.

For industries such as mining, consider the following: As assets become increasingly customizable and are utilized across a global value chain, methods to ensure competency and mastery are becoming more expensive and less effective.

Everything from printed manuals and training classes, to delivering experts on site, traditional methods provide diminishing returns. Meanwhile, industrial augmented reality is quickly proving more effective.

AR technology provides users with

AR industrial spending

expected to reach $7 billion by 2024 a way to perceive and use previously hidden or inaccessible information about their environments. In essence, the real world is augmented with useful, practical, and contextual data that is available on-demand at the very moment it is needed. The users’ smartphone camera recognizes the physical object or asset, and it instantly unlocks digital information that allows the user to interact with the asset information three-dimensionally and hands-free.

AR spending in industrial markets is expected to reach $7 billion by 2024. That dwarfs high-profile markets like gaming and automotive.

Why? AR proofs-of-concept are easy to create and demonstrate value. AR doesn’t disrupt existing technology.

It operates in parallel without disrupting existing infrastructure and investments. AR requires a low technical hurdle because it can be done with little to no coding experience. AR can utilize existing digital assets including CAD and other digital files created during the design of the physical equipment. Lastly, AR is flexible and extensible, experiences can easily be updated to reflect changes and updated procedures.

Product visualization is used for both training and guidance. AR can replace traditional training labs or simulations. It can also reduce risk if training involves working in hazardous environments.

In short, companies that are turning to augmented and virtual reality (commonly referred to as mixed reality) methods are seeing reductions in the cost of printed training materials, an increase in training effectiveness, and impacts on production and downtime.

Hundreds of companies around the world have hired AR coders and designers to develop in-house applications that address their needs. Other companies are turning to providers like Blabeey Inc., a Los Angelesbased tech firm specializing in turnkey, enterprise-ready solutions that quickly and seamlessly be integrated into day- to day operations.

President and CEO Rocky Wright says companies adopting AR platforms are leapfrogging ahead of those who are reluctant to embrace the technology.

“A small investment in AR is an easy and robust way to impact so many areas of traditional enterprise,” said Wright. “There are hundreds of examples, soon to be thousands, of real-world value propositions taking place all around the planet.”

Partnership to assist communities

in becoming more self-sufficient Five Nations Energy Partners With Industrial Systems By: Kevin Vincent Quietly headquartered in a serene setting in north Timmins, Five Nations Energy Inc. has branched out.

The non-profit electricity provider to Attawapiskat, Moose Cree First Nation, Kashechewan and Fort Albany signed a deal in early April with Industrial Systems to create FNIS (First Nations Industrial Systems).

The new company will combine Industrial Systems’ owner Gord Clark’s 30 years of industrial systems expertise, with Five Nation Energy’s 22 years of expertise and service to its founding communities.

In an exclusive interview with Canadian Mining Life and Exploration News, Five Nations (FNEI) Executive Director Pat Chilton said the non-profit organization had been approached for more than a decade by other entities wanting to joint venture. FNEI’s governing board, which includes the chiefs from all five first nations they represent, have always shied away from JV opportunities, preferring instead to partner.

In 2016, Chilton and Clark bumped into one another at the Toronto airport. Recognizing they had similar aspirations around creating jobs for young indigenous people, they started a conversation that culminated in the partnership struck this spring.

“It made a lot of sense because Five Nations Energy was told by the Ontario Energy Board that it needed to transition to a for-profit (entity),” said Chilton. That was 2017 and FNEI pushed back.

The energy board agreed which allowed FNEI to upgrade its transmission lines as well as other infrastructure projects and it is now ready to move into other areas.

FNEI had another entity on the books since the year 2000 called Five Na-

Page 64

Industrial Systems’ owner Gord Clark (L) and Five Nations (FNEI) Executive Director Pat Chilton (R) tions Development Inc. (FNDI) but according to Chilton, they had never breathed any life into it.

“This is terrific news for Timmins on so many levels,” said Timmins Mayor George Pirie, a lifelong advocate for indigenous partnerships and enterprise. “FNIS as I understand it, will provide jobs, training, and a future for our growing indigenous population throughout the region. When you couple that with the huge demand for skilled labour across all sectors, this is a win-win for everyone. It’s the kind of partnership we need to see more of.”

“The objective, first and foremost, was to generate jobs – mostly in trades and commercial industrial work, as well as residential,” Clark tells Canadian Mining Life. “Not only for the remote communities, but applying the training we will be providing for youth by bringing them (indigenous youth) into some of the areas we already work in,” he added.

Clark says those areas include industrial works, renewable energy projects, including hydro-electric, solar energy farms, wind generation, mining, and more.

“Because there is such a shortage of trades taking effect now,” said Clark.

“Over the next generation it’s going to be very difficult to acquire trades. But tapping into that untapped resource

(indigenous youth) of remote communities and indigenous people, and giving them the opportunity to train in the trades, and developing self-sufficiency within their own communities, this is the objective (of FNIS),” he adds.

Clark says the initial focus will be to develop skills and trades needed within the member communities, and eventually exporting that talent into the many large industrial companies that need the skilled workforce and services.

Throughout Ontario there is a growing emphasis on increasing immigration to meet the growing demand for skilled labour. Chilton, Clark and mayor Pirie all concur that the untapped potential of the region’s indigenous youth is one answer to the growing worldwide skills gap.

Clark has high praise for FNEI. “Their success is second to none. I’ve been across Canada, not only working in remote communities but the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) as well. You often see First Nations organizations involved in joint ventures, but they have no say. With this new partnership, the objective is to assist the communities in becoming self-sufficient.”

Another objective of the training is to allow indigenous youth the opportunity to develop a skill that makes them marketable outside their communities, across Canada in fact.

Mining companies in Northern Ontario embrace electric vehicles & equipment By: Frank Giorno

There are many reasons why mines are turning to battery electric equipment and vehicles in deep hardrock.

Some companies cite improvements to employee health and safety when diesel fumes are eliminated.

The elimination of diesel particles also helps to reduce heat and fumes which leads to reduced ventilation costs. Costs are also reduced because electric equipment has less moving parts than diesel and is more durable requiring less maintenance.

Vale

Vale in Sudbury is converting to an all electric vehicle fleet at its Creighton deep zone mine and its future greenfield operations will be all-electric.

As Creighton’s deep zone fleet reached the end of their life they will be replaced with electric vehicles.

Personnel, loaders and explosives carriers will be the first vehicles to switch.

A total of 11 new electric equipment will be added to the peration deep underground environment according to Samantha Espley, the general manager of the mining and mineral processing technical excellence centre at Vale.

66 Page 64

The Creighton mine is Vale’s deepest operation at 2.5 kilometre’s in depth.

Use of an electric fleet reduces heat and diesel contaminants as well will reduce the mine’s ventilation costs.

Borden Mine

Newmont Goldcorp’s Borden Mine near Chapleau, Ontario is expected to come into production in the second half of 2019. It’s believed to be Canada’s first all electric mine underground mine.

The Borden operation will use not only electric battery vehicles, but also heavy equipment.

The elimination of diesel engines replaced with battery electric in underground will produce mines will produce less heat, noise and exhaust gases such as diesel particulate matter. This will translate into cost savings from decreased ventilation needs which are a significant cost to underground mines.

Other benefits that electrification and battery electric equipment bring– for the Borden Lake Mine as well as any other operation planning to introduce new technology - include, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, reduced diesel fuel consumption, and re-

duced power consumption.

The drills used at Borden are battery operated and they can be recharged while operating.

Marc Lauzier Newmont Goldcorp general manager for Borden mine has sited both health and safety improvements and cost savings as benefits of going electric.

Diesel particulate matter is reduced when the switch to electric takes place and this cuts the cost of ventilation. But it also improves the underground air quality which makes it safer for the miners.

Sandvik electric battery-powered vehicles will drill and bring ore to handling facilities on site. The fleet will include the Sandvik DD422iE™ development jumbo drilling rig, Sandvik 14T LHD scoops, Sandvik 40T trucks, apart from boom truck, cassette truck and emulsion loader.

MacLean Engineering, of Collingwood, Ontario has provided battery graders, electric bolters, explosives chargers, blockholers, boom trucks, scissor lifts.

Glencore Onaping Depths Sudbury Integrated Nickel Operation, Glencore’s Sudbury operation, plans to make its Onaping Depths project its first all electric mine. First production from Onaping Depth will occur in 2023 and full

production by 2025.

The depth of the Onaping about 2,600 metres below surface. The way SINO plans to reduce their cost of cooling the air at such a depth is by reducing the amount of heat generated by mining vehicles and equipment by switching to battery electric vehicles.

Glencore has been testing battery from MacLean Engineering (bolters and boom trucks), Papa Bravo and Industrial Fabrication (mine carriers), Epiroc (jumbos), Caterpillar (LHDs), as well as diesel-converted equipment from MineCat and Marcotte Mining.

Kirkland Lake Gold Kirkland Lake Gold has introduced Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) at it’s Macassa Mine in Kirkland Lake Ontario. Two Artisan Z-40s are now working underground.

According to Tony Makuch, BEVs are more efficient than diesel engines and that is the main reason KLG has decided to use them at Macassa.

“It operates more hours, the power you get is greater than with diesel engines, we have to torque it down.

It’s the way to go. It’s also quieter and produces less heat,” explained Makuch.

“We are investing in BEVs and we have two prototypes working at Macassa,” Makuch said. “We are all Cont’d on pg. 67

in, in terms of switching to BEVs.” “If I could add BEV vehicles to Fosterville Mine (Australia), I could increase production by about 20 to 30 percent,” Makuch added.

Makuch said KLG recognizes BEVS are the mining vehicles of the future and are ready to invest.

A BEV production facility operating out of Ontario’s northeast is one possiblity.

Artisan the company that built the Z-40s had plans to open an Canadian plant in Kirkland Lake, but since it was bought by Sandvik in January, plans are on hold for now.

PROVIDING ELECTRIC VEHICLES FOR TODAY’S MINING The ingenuity of original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are the key to achieving electricification of mining.

Sandvik for example has committed to producing its own 40-tonne truck to be used by Borden by 2020.

The specially designed truck will be able to travel to the surface climbing the ramp while loaded without recharging.

Sandvik, the Swedish mining equpipment manufacturer, recently purchased Artisan of California , the company that has been working with Kirkland Lake Gold to introduce a battery electric fleet at the Macassa Mine.

Epiroc is another Swedish-owned company that has been a major developer of battery electric vehicles MacLean Engineering and other Ontario based companies continue to develop regional expertise. Another example is Minecat, a privately owned Sudbury-based builder of mining vehicles.

Marcotte Mining Machinery of Sudbury has taken up a partnership with German manufacturer Siemens to develop battery electric vehicles.

With the increase of electric vehicles in mining these companies and other emerging companies will provide the technology know-how to serve the mines as they employ cleaner electric energy for both health and safety reasons as well as cost savings and productivity reasons.

one that embraces doing things differently, understanding and accepting continuous and rapid change.

How has the leadership responded?

Creating A Safer Site Operators must expect more than just goods and services from their partners and suppliers. Executives must seek partners that have mastered the art of innovation. Mastering innovation means more than just bold ideas, it is a culture, a way being and it includes understanding it is an iterative process resting on a foundation of commitment and collaboration.

As a technology specialist for over 30 years and I have participated as both strategist and tactician in the digital wave that washed over many sectors, e-government, health services and service delivery multiple industries. That same wave has already reached the mining sector. There is a major acceleration in applied innovation and technology in mining. It comes at the juncture of the need to aggressively reduce the cost per tonne while maintaining a high degree of safety and a generational shift

Page 70

in sector leadership. Reducing the cost per tonne is no new idea. Automation has been in progress in the mining industry for well over 20 years. The automation zone has included scoops and trucks controlled from surface working in conjunction with traditional roles and process.

As operations reach ever deeper to find the ore body, costs even with existing automation increase.

The costs for air, water and personnel have increased as operation have deepened. Deeper operations result in more commute time for equipment and when the equipment is on the move its not making any money. Add to this equation ceiling prices in minerals and what the industry faces is both a great opportunity and challenge.

The opportunity is this; if you dramatically reduce the cost per tonne, that will translate directly to the bottom line. The challenge moving in lock step with this opportunity is changing the culture to

A more progressive generation of Executive Leadership has emerged over the past decade, leaders who are comfortable with technology and look to exploit it to the benefit of their organizations and shareholders. These new leaders have put forward nothing short of a bold vision for the transformation of operations. Many are rapidly developing strategies and plans for the SMART mine where automation and digitization form the bedrock of rapid evolution.

Autonomous equipment not only increases safety, it moves personnel out of harms way. No personnel mean lower requirements for air, water and light. Battery operated vehicles mean no emissions and less environmental impact and remediation. Combining automation and a digital environment strategy will allow for deeper operation at dramatically lower costs while increasing safety and production output.

Achieving this vision means the industry must embrace rapid change and develop the capacity to identify, validate and employ the latest technology; that is in fact what is happening. To those who can anticipate these needs dramatic transformation is just around the corner. All that is required is the courage to have bold ideas, the persistence to apply iterative and the selection of partners that have mastered the art of innovation.

GET A GRIP on your company’s slip & fall prevention strategies www.geroline.ca

Slip and fall accidents are the leading cause of workers’ compensation claims, representing more than 20% of all job-related injuries. It is estimated that slip and fall injuries in North America lead to over 100 million lost workdays each year at an annual cost of $36 billion. In the Ontario mining sector, slips and falls are one of the three main reasons for lost workdays, representing more than 11% of absences due to workplace injuries. The incidence of slips and falls are heightened during the winter when persistent ice and snow compound the risk of dangerous conditions at challenging mine sites.

When the snow begins to fall, job sites become increasingly hazardous which means it is critically important that employees are provided a pair of ice cleats to ensure their safety. When worn outside during the winter, ice cleats penetrate the snow and ice to prevent an employee from losing their footing in tough and slippery environments.

Winter traction technology has improved rapidly over the last five years leading to increased effectiveness, functionality and employee compliance. There are three Page 74

types of ice cleats on the market today: the mid-sole, the heel-stop and the traditional full-sole. In recent years, the mid-sole ice cleat has become the mining-industry standard for winter traction. The K1 Mid-Sole ice cleat from Geroline Industrial Safety Products has been at the forefront of this innovation pushing the boundaries of winter traction technology.

The Geroline K1 Mid-Sole has several advantages when compared to the traditional full-sole ice cleat: • The K1 Mid-Sole ice cleat features a one-size fits-all design • The K1 Mid-Sole ice cleat can be rotated to the top of the boot when transitioning indoors, driving a vehicle or climbing a ladder – this means employees do not have to take the cleats on and off to suit different work environments • The K1 Mid-Sole ice cleat can be placed on a boot at the beginning of the season and kept on for the

entire winter • The high-visibility strap on the K1 Mid-Sole ice cleat is ideal for industrial work environments • The K1 Mid-Sole ice cleat is available in low profile, original and high profile for varying footwear designs and styles • The entire K1 Mid-Sole ice cleat product line is available in an intrinsically safe, certified nonsparking design • The functionality and ease of use of the K1 Mid-Sole ice cleat leads to drastic improvements in employee compliance with slip and fall prevention safety policies To request a sample of the Geroline K1 Mid-Sole ice cleat visit the website or reach out to one of Geroline’s winter traction specialists by email or telephone.

Wallbridge riding high on early 2019 results By: Kevin Vincent

Wallbridge released encouraging results from its 100%-owned Fenelon Gold property in northwestern Quebec including 98.91 metres averaging 2.81 g/t.

By early May, the company’s major shareholder, world-renowned gold investor Eric Sprott, was expected to own 25% of the company’s outstanding shares.

President and CEO Marz Kord told Mining Life & Exploration News that Wallbridge is on a hot streak when it comes to drill results at Fenelon, so much so that some of the company’s other assets have taken a back seat.

Since acquiring the property in late 2016, Wallbridge has completed an updated resource estimate and a positive pre-feasibility study on the existing resource. Wallbridge has undertaken successful surface exploration drilling campaigns in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and has substantially completed an underground 35,000-tonne bulk sample at Fenelon. Drilling to date has significantly extended existing zones and discovered several new parallel zones.

The substantial results at Fenelon are a departure from Wallbridge’s early profile which was focused primarily on copper and nickel plays in the Sudbury area since the 1990’s.

“After the 2008 crash, the company decided that it needed to look elsewhere in order to generate cash flow for shareholders. Around that time (2011) I sold my company (Genivar) and took on the role of President and CEO here,” Kord reflects.

Kord says the company strategy was to identify assets that could be pre-developed as a junior, and potentially be handed off to a major for production. They reviewed over 150 properties and eventually settled on the Fenelon property, which, at that time, was owned by the exploration company Balmoral.

They were looking for small projects

Page 78

that might be scalable and it turned out that Fenelon was exactly what they were looking for.

“Balmoral was looking for a big forest while what we were looking for was a couple of cherry or oak trees,” Kord smiles.

At the time, the property had an estimated 40,000 ounces. They paid Balmoral $3.5 million and a 1% royalty in late 2016.

In 2014-15, Wallbridge managed to raise a little over $4 million in working capital through its Broken Ham-

Marz Kord, Wallbridge Mining President and CEO

mer property near Sudbury which augmented their plans for Fenelon.

“All of a sudden when we started talking to other companies about their non-core assets, we had proven that we could work properties like Broken Hammer successfully, safely, and make some money,” Kord adds.

Late last year, in 2018, Wallbridge was about to change its drilling contractor two days before Christmas.

“They were on a hole that was supposed to be about 600 metres,” Kord explains. “The guys called me and said they wanted to extend the hole to whatever depth it takes over the next two days and then we can let this contractor go, because we are seeing some promising structures.”

“The company kept the contractor over the holidays and they kept on

drilling and they kept hitting mineralization we like to refer to as Area 51,” Kord said. “It was actually hole 51 and we named it Area 51 because the guys said, ‘we think the truth is out there’,” he adds.

The company continued the program and hole 52 continued with another 275 metres of mineralization (results can be reviewed on the company’s website).

Wallbridge is establishing what it calls a pipeline of projects that will support sustainable production and revenue as well as organic growth through exploration and scalability.

Wallbridge is currently developing its 100%-owned high-grade Fenelon Gold property in Quebec with ongoing exploration and a bulk sample.

Wallbridge is also pursuing other additional advanced-stage projects which would add to the Company’s near-term project pipeline. These discussions benefit from the operating capabilities Wallbridge demonstrated by safely and efficiently mining the Broken Hammer deposit in Sudbury, which was completed in October 2015. As part of this strategy, the Company recently optioned the Beschefer Project, an advanced gold property with proven size and grade-potential near Fenelon Gold.

Wallbridge is also continuing partner-funded exploration on its projects in Sudbury, Ontario, with a focus on its high-grade Parkin project.

Fenelon is located in northwestern Quebec proximal to the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone (“SLDZ”) which hosts the Detour Gold Mine in Ontario, and Balmoral Resources’ gold deposits at Martiniere. Fenelon hosts the Discovery Zone gold deposit and surrounding 4 km strike length of a gold-hosting secondary splay of the SLDZ. As for handing the property off to a major, Kord says it’s still too early to say whether that will happen. In the meantime, everything seems to be pointed in that direction.

Pelangio Drills Dome West

EXPLORATION DIAMOND DRILL PROGRAM UNDERWAY AT DOME WEST

Pelangio Exploration Inc. announced they have begun a limited diamond drilling program at the Dome West Property located 800 metres west of the Dome Mine super pit in Timmins, Ontario.

The objective of this first phase of diamond drilling is to confirm the presence of a highly prospective porphyritic sill unit. This porphyritic sill is interpreted to extend across a substantial portion of the Dome West property at the 1000-foot elevation from the former Paymaster Mine property.

To carry out the drill program, Pelangio will use helicopter support for the diamond drill program as the most cost-effective and environmentally sound way to access this property.

Pelangio intends to plan, permit and conduct a follow-up winter drill program in 2020 utilizing ice access, depending on the success of this first phase program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to begin the dia-

Page 80

mond drill program on our Dome West gold property. The results of this program will be used in confirming the existence of a highly prospective porphyritic sill that is interpreted to extend across the Dome West property. This program represents our first step in advancing this strategic assetâ&#x20AC;?, said Ingrid Hibbard, President and CEO of Pelangio.

Pelangio obtained an option to buy the Dome West Property in January, 2019. In September, 2018 Pelangio obtained rights to the Dalton

Property located southwest of the Hollinger Open Pit. Pelangio acquires and explores large land packages in world-class gold belts in Canada and Ghana, West Africa. In Canada, the company is focusing on the Dome West property located 800 metres from the Dome Mine in Timmins, the 25 km 2 Birch Lake Property located in the Red Lake Mining District, and the Dalton Property located 1.5 km from the Hollinger mine in Timmins.

Exploration plays key role in ensuring long-term viability Mining exploration is the life blood of the mining industry. New sources of minerals are needed to continue operations and junior mining companies invest in exploration activities to track down new sources for future mining.

As Natural Resources Canada puts it: “Mineral exploration plays a key role in ensuring the long-term viability of Canada’s mining industry. It leads to the discovery and development of mineral deposits that may become future mines, creates jobs—often in remote and northern communities—and attracts significant investment.”

Moneta Porcupine is a mining exploration company that has existed for over 100 years in the Timmins area. Its’ flag ship deposit is the Golden Highway project located 110 km east of Timmins in Matheson, Ontario. It is the largest deposit held by a junior mining company in the Timmins area.

Earlier this year, Moneta Porcupine announced an updated underground resource estimate for the Golden Highway property based on drill core assays dating back to 1986 and including newer drilling used for the mineral resource estimate report prepared by Micon International.

Moneta has possession of all of the drill core from 1986 on at its secure logging facility on Hwy. 655 in Timmins. This core library is frequently used for reference when conducting geological modelling. Only assays from 1986 and subsequent newer drilling were used for the mineral resource estimate and detailed in the new 43-101 technical report dated January 2019.

Over the last 18 months Moneta-Porcupine has re-evaluated its mineral resource estimate based on 352,000 metres of drilling in 1,108 holes. The previous low grade 0.80 gram per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) resource estimate, based on an open pit mine scenario has increased to an average of 4.61 g/t Au in the indicated category when calculated for an underground mining operation.

“We were encouraged by the significant increase in grade and the overall size of the updated mineral resource estimate released in January 2019 for the Golden Highway Project,” said Gary O’Connor, CEO & Chief GePage 82

ologist.

Based on further analysis of data from the property, Micon International identified 383,400 ounces (oz) of indicated gold at an average grade 4.61 g/t Au. The indicated grade of gold ranged from 4.19 g/t Au at the Windjammer South location, to 4.63 g/t Au at the South West location and 5.11 g/t Au at the “55” location.

An “indicated resource” can be more confidently reported in terms of quantity, grade (quality), shape, size and continuity.

Micon International also identified the occurrence of 873,300 oz of gold at an average grade of 4.21 g/t Au in the inferred category. The grades ranged from 3.80 g/t Au at Windjammer North; 4.12 g/t Au at Discovery; 4.21 g/t Au at South West; 4.31 g/t at :55” and 4.59 g/t Au at Windjammer South.

An “inferred resource” is one that is based on limited sampling and is based on reasonably assumed, but limited information. The resource characteristics are well established through detailed and reliable exploration work. This makes predictions of economic viability more reliable.

A “measured resource” represents the highest level of geologic knowledge and confidence in a mineral resource estimate.

The combined indicated and inferred quantity of gold at the Golden Highway site totaled approximately 1.3 million ounces leaving Moneta Porcupine management extremely satisfied with the results of the program. The evaluation of onsite resources was based on underground mining extraction. Previous estimates were estimated on a larger open pit operation.

At the end of February, Moneta Porcupine embarked on its fully funded winter drill program consist-

Combined indicated & inferred gold at Golden Highway site approximately 1.3 million ounces

ing of approximately 10,000 metres. The drilling is designed to expand the current resource at South West on the Golden Highway property. It will explore several zones containing high grade gold mineralization with good widths that were not included in the recent resource update, including the West Block and Gap zones. The program will also test the extensions of the “55” and Windjammer South deposits to highlight the resource potential on these deposits. The results of the drilling program will be available later this year.

Moneta Porcupine filed a technical report covering the January 2019 mineral resource estimate for the Golden Highway Project.

The Technical Report dated February 28, 2019 was prepared in ac-

cordance with National Instrument 43-101 standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and has been filed on both SEDAR and the Company’s website (www. monetaporcupine.com) and is now available for review.

The technical report is entitled “A Mineral Resource Estimate for the Golden Highway project, Michaud and Garrison Townships, Black River-Matheson area, Northeastern Ontario”. The details are summarized in a company press release entitled “Moneta defines New Resource Estimate at its Golden Highway Project of 383,400 oz of Gold at 4.61g/t of indicated resource and 873,200 oz of Gold at 4.21g/t inferred resource”, dated January 17, 2019.

National Instrument 43-101 (the “NI

43-101” or the “NI”) is a national instrument for the Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects within Canada. The Instrument is a codified set of rules and guidelines for reporting and displaying information related to mineral properties owned by, or explored by, companies which report these results on stock exchanges within Canada.

Moneta Porcupine holds a 100% interest in 6 core gold projects strategically located along the DestorPorcupine Fault Zone (DPFZ) in the Timmins Gold Camp with over 85 million ounces of past gold production. The projects consist of the key Golden Highway Project and the North Tisdale, Nighthawk Lake, DeSantis East, Kayorum and Denton projects.

Major items to impact future employment opportunities Manpower and Skilled Labour By: Kevin Vincent

Ask any employer to outline their most pressing challenges and skilled labour is likely to top the list.

It’s no different for the mining and exploration sectors. In fact, it’s a global challenge.

According to the global accounting and consultancy firm Deloitte; “The challenge to keep and retain skilled workers is hardly new, but the skills gap has been accelerating in recent years. By 2025, analysts anticipate over 2,000,000 skilled manufacturing jobs will go unfilled.

Compare that to 600,000 unfilled jobs in 2011.”

Many fields are experiencing a shortage of professionals—particularly those with career-spanning expertise. Within industrial markets, there are several job functions across the value chain that are most affected, including: setup and changeover, assembly, operation, maintenance, field service technicians, and senior service experts.

While a retiring workforce is a primary driver, there are complex pressures making it difficult to maintain steady and skilled worker resources. Those pressures include: A lack of systems to produce new generations of skilled workers; Competition with other types of jobs; Continued global expansion which means there are more jobs in more locations giving young people more choices than ever before; and lastly, physical assets requirPage 84

ing skills are becoming more complex and individualized.

The days of “blue collar” jobs where someone’s mere presence and physicality are the dominant factors are nearly gone According to SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management, by 2022, over 26% of workers in the manufacturing and industrial sectors will be over the age of 55.

Those workers are staying on the job longer than they need to. For one, they need the money. Two, employers are desperate to retain their expertise as they struggle to replace them.

SHRM suggests that most companies today are focusing on three strategies; encouraging long-time employees to stay longer, even if it is for a few extra years; amplifying the effectiveness and efficiency of the existing workforce without increasing workload; and making long-term plans that focus on in-house skills development while minimizing third-party contractors.

That third strategy is commendable, but it comes with a longer time-to-value proposition.

In early April, the Brookfield Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, a non-partisan policy institute based out of Ryerson Uni-

versity in Toronto, released a report called Turn and Face The Strange: Changes Impacting the Future of Employment in Canada. Until recently, forecasters spent a lot of time trying to quantify how technological changes will affect the skills employers look for. The Brookfield report was looking at a far more complicated picture about how a wide range of trends may be interacting in different ways to influence the types of skills that are likely to be in demand.

The report’s authors concluded there are seven major items that are going to impact future employment opportunities, including: Mandatory Creativity - The report suggests creativity could soon be “the most in-demand skill sought by employers across all industries.”

Work-Life Integration The advent of email and text messaging has already blurred the lines between work and personal time. More and more employers are implementing policies and procedures that offer flexibility when it comes to the time of day that employees choose to work. While constant connectivity is seen as a mental health challenge, the report suggests that today’s knowledge economy is well-served by companies and employees who acknowledge work-life blending as an advantage.

Climate Refugees This includes both human and nonhuman elements. Climate changes around the globe are presenting countries like Canada with a longterm planning challenge as populations migrate from areas that have become unlivable.

Lifelong Learning The pace of technological change; millions of people working well past retirement age; and the antiaging industry are all ingredients in a recipe that serves up a growing demand for human creativity and the desire to explore new horizons.

College and university campuses are no longer the exclusive domain of high school grads. Millions of people in their 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and beyond are going back to school as they search for a new career.

Whatever approach employers take, there is a staggering need to pay attention. As one employer suggested, adapt or die.

The First Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional lands are located about 400 kilometers north of Sault Ste. Marie.

In 1906, under the terms of Treaty 9, the Crown promised to set apart reserves for each band based on one square mile of reserve land

per family of five or 128 acres per person.

Since 1906, there have never been any lands set apart for the use and benefit of the Missanabie Cree, and as a result, the First Nation suffered. With no land base, and their traditional livelihood of hunting and fishing undermined with the creation of the Chapleau Game Preserve, the people began to leave the Missanabie area in

search of economic opportunities to support their families.

A federal Order in Council, signed on June 22, 2018, created the land base for Missanabie Cree First Nation under Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Additions to Reserves-New Reserves Policy.

The land agreement negotiated be-

tween Missanabie Cree First Nation and Canada provides them with reserve status on over 3,900 hectares of their ancestral lands and includes entitlement to mining and mineral rights that will provide greater economic opportunities for the community.

The lands are in the Dog Lake area, east of Wawa and west of Chapleau, an area that has become a focus of gold exploration activities.

With the creation of the reserve, Missanabie Cree First Nation can now develop infrastructure to support the community and explore economic development opportunities for its 476 members.

One way Missanabie Cree has

chosen to develop its community is through joint venture agreements with companies operating on their traditional lands or providing services to the areas mines and other businesses.

The Missanabie Cree leadership under Chief Jason Gauthier have signed over 30 joint venture agreements with companies in the mining, energy, construction, forestry and other sectors.

A Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) was signed with Alamos (formerly Richmont), in March 2017.

CommunIty Benefits include funding for employment/training and business and economic development. Joint ventures have been secured with many of the supplier/

service companies at the mine since the signing of the agreement.

Joint ventures allow competitive advantages for business contract procurement both in many industry sectors. They also provide opportunites for employment and training internships, scholarships and mentorship programs. Contributions include a percentage of the invoice and in-kind contributions to MCFN. In Sept, 2018, MCFN signed a joint venture with the ESS group to provide catering and camp accommodations for Island Gold.

A joint venture agreement was also signed with the S&T Group which Missanabie Cree Business Corporation contracted to complete parContâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d on pg. 88

cels of work for the MCFN procured core shack building contract at Island Gold in 2018.

Another agreement was signed between Missanabie Cree and Würth Canada a company that supplies products for the automotive, trucking, and industrial sectors, including tools, electrical wiring components, chemicals, fasteners, and abrasives. Würth provides worker protection equipment at Island Gold.

“These large companies are both looking for certain services and products, and part of our agreement was to have Missanabie Cree as part of the joint ventures with them

and relationships with the companies which they deal with,” Gauthier said. “There has really been a reach out to different companies for us to work with in our relationship to those mining companies.”

Last year in 2018, MCFN signed an Agreement with Lafarge Canada.

“The Lafarge Canada Inc, agreement will help us to build our community infrastructure and housing,” said Stephen Hawkins, the IBA Implementation Coordinator with MCFN. The purpose of the agreement is to provide varied opportunities for the Missanabie Cree First Nation and Lafarge to work cooperatively for the benefit of both or-

ganizations.

The community will be involved in development projects occurring on its territories, including Island Gold Mine where Lafarge’s construction solutions can support sustainable development. This is an important approach to help ensure the long term economic and social well-being of the members of Missanabie Cree First Nation.

“We strive to maintain a mutually beneficial and respectful relationship with communities and we are eager to partner with MCFN’s leaders to create more successes together.” said John McCabe, VicePresident Ready-Mix at Lafarge

Eastern Canada. The agreement sets out a framework for employment, training and business opportunities for members of the MCFN. Lafarge will also participate in community development and engagement.

At the 2018 Canadian Mining Expo, MCFN signed a partnership agreement with Cementation, to form Missanabie Cementation Inc., a company that will build underground mines for mining companies in Northern Ontario.

“We are excited about our latest partnership with Cementation and combined we feel the groups can bring value to future mining projects here in northern Ontario throughout

the traditional territory of the Missanabie Cree First Nation” says Chief Jason Gauthier.

Eric Kohtakangas, Cementation’s executive vice-president of growth and acquisitions, added this partnership represents a “strong first step” toward building Indigenous capacity through training and employment opportunities in the mining industry.

“We anticipate future mine development in the area and the business opportunities this can bring to the partnership.”

Aside from the direct economic benefits, the joint venture partnership will help to build the Missanabie Cree community, explained

Hawkins.

“The plan is to develop a footing in the new settlement area building our band office on the land,” Hawkins said. “Infrastructure for a community with roads, housing and a water treatment plant.

A key benefit of the joint venture agreements provide training programs to engage Missanabie youth. Training programs will focus on common core for mining and other resource sector training.

Eventually Missanabie Cree intends to develop its own First Nations run businesses in forestry and land management and bid on contracts. One venture has includCont’d on pg. 90

Mining Partnerships Built on Trust and Respect for Community, Safety and the Environment

Cementation is committed to building long term relationships with our clients and partners in the mining industry. One example is our partnerships with Indigenous governments and their communities involved in our mining projects throughout Canada. These partnerships are founded on trust and respect while understanding the communities’ culture and needs.

In June 2018 Cementation signed an agreement with the Missanabie Cree First Nation to form Missanabie Cementation Inc. The company was formed for the purpose of carrying on the business of providing underground mine development and mine construction, miner training, and other services related to mining projects.

One of the driving engines behind MCFNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pursuit of joint venture partnership is the Missanabie Cree Business Corporation which was created in 2014. The MCBC is run by a volutneer board that meets twice a month to set priorities for business opportunities and ven-

PARTNERSHIP ON DISPLAY AT CANADIAN MINING EXPO

First Nations are vital part of the Northern Ontario mining sector. Increasingly as the demands for services and employment grows residents of First Nations help meet the needs of mining companies.

According to the Far North East Tranining Board and the Mining Industry Human Rescource Council, Indigenous peoples are an important source of employment in min-

ing, as many operations in Canada are located close to Indigenous communities.

Comprising 7 % of the sector, mining is the largest private sector employer of Indigenous peoples in Canada.

In recognition of the importance of First Nations to mining, the Canadian Mining Expo 2019 held June 4-6 in Timmins is having a First Nation

Partnership Pavilion sponsored by the Missanabie Cree First Nations and the companies that they have entered into partnership with. An important aspect for employment opportunities are the joint agreements that are signed between First Nations and the mining companies. Missanabie Cree First Nation has agreements in place with Alamos Goldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island Gold Mine and Prodigy Gold Mineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Magino mine which is still in development.

In addition, the First Nation Partnership Pavilion will feature mining supply and services companies that have partnership agreements with the Missanabie Cree First Nation.

Impact Benefit Agreements (IBA) Promote Mutual Respect between Companies and First Nations Impact Benefit Agreements Promote Mutual Respect between Mining Companies and First Nations.

Northern Ontario’s economy is driven by mining and other resource-based projects. Before such projects can proceed, a company needs to reach an agreement with First Nations and Indigenous groups on whose traditional lands the development takes place.

These agreements are known as Impact benefit agreements or IBAs or Community Benefit Agreements and they are an integral part of to-

Page 92 94

day’s mining landscape.

IBAs generate mutual respect and certainty for both parties and a willingness to share in the area’s mineral wealth. They create a partnership for the sharing of benefits between the First Nations and for example a mining company.

“Creating partnerships is the only way forward. We meet and get to understand each other and share stories and create trust. Partnerships is not all about capital, it’s about mutual trust,” said Jason Gauthier, Chief, Missanabie Cree

First Nation.

Missanabie Cree have an IBA signed with Island Gold Mine originally owned by Richmont Gold Mines and since acquired by Alamos Gold (November 2017). The Island Gold Mine is located 83 kilometres northeast of Wawa, Ontario.

An IBA is a negotiated agreement between a mining company and a First Nation(s) in whose territory the mining projected is located.

Each IBA is unique. They are legal documents that contain dispute resolution mechanisms and binding

IBA’s win-win approach with Missanabie Cree First Nation arbitration.

Through an IBA First Nations and Indigenous groups enter into a formal and legally binding agreement with a mining company that recognizes traditional values, environmental protection, employment, contracting and training opportunities. In exchange the First Nations provides support for the mining project.

IBA’s are a win-win approach that share benefits of the mining project with the Indigenous community on whose traditional land the min-

ing project takes place. IBAs are a standard for resource development projects that are located on or impact Indigenous Peoples’ traditional lands and rights.

The employment and contracting provisions in an IBA give priority for training, hiring and contracting to Indigenous People. This can include commitments to develop comprehensive training programs to ensure that local Indigenous workers have the training, skills and qualifications to apply for jobs that become available. It may spec-

ify that a certain percentage of the workforce to be comprised by residents of the First Nation. This can also include goals specifically for hiring women.

The IBA also includes requirements that all contractors and subcontractors to a mining project agree to the preferential hiring process, contracting and sub-contracting be given to qualified businesses that are owned at least in part by a First Nation. In the case of Missanabie Cree they have established over 30 joint Cont’d on pg. 94

Commitment COMMITMENT is in everything we do

John McCabe, VP Lafarge & Chief Jason Gauthier

On March 6, 2018 Missanabie Cree First Nation (MCFN) and Lafarge Canada announced the official signing of a Service Agreement, retroactive to September 1, 2017.

The purpose of the agreement is to provide varied opportunities for the Missanabie Cree First Nation and Lafarge to work cooperatively for the benefit of both organizations. The community will be involved in development projects occurring on its territories, including Island Camp where Lafarge’s construction solutions can support sustainable development.

This is an important approach to help ensure the long term economic and social well-being of the members of Missanabie Cree First Nation.

The agreement sets out a framework for employment, training and business opportunities for members of the MCFN, while Lafarge will also participate in community development and engagement.

At Lafarge, our commitment goes far beyond the raw materials we produce.

We bring together the best solutions and materials to build more durable, compact and connected cities. And when you build better cities you get buildings, roads and infrastructure that truly reflect the changing needs of today’s communities.

It’s this kind of ongoing dedication that’s an integral part of the Lafarge culture.

IBAs honour and respect the Indigenous culture Cont’d from pg. 93

venture agreement partnerships with contractors supplying Alamos Gold’s Island Gold Mine.

Beyond the monetary aspects, IBAs also honour and respect the Indigenous culture by providing training for all employees on the culture and history of the local Indigenous Peoples.

They also require an Indigenous shop steward or liaison person to assist with any work place concern for those who only speak the Indigenous Language.

Distribution of collective agreements in all local Aboriginal language(s) and providing all workplace health and safety signs in local languages.

Availability of different types of cultural leaves for Aboriginal employees, which can include hunting leaves or leaves for cultural events.

IBAs are distinct from resource revenue-sharing arrangements between governments and Aboriginal groups, which share public revenues, such as royalties and taxes, generated from resource

development. Our Joint Venture agreements will “as a team, look for opportunities to bid on mining contracts on traditional territory of the Missanabie Cree,” said Gauthier.

“We hope to be able to put in a competitive bid when related contracts start to go through tender.”

“In addition to the sustainable economic benefits afforded by these partnerships, we are hopeful that the collaborative aspect will provide employment income for members of our community, thereby contributing to individual, family and community wellbeing,” added Gauthier.
