Randgold’s Mark Bristow on mining in Africa

BY TRISH SAYWELL

The raw facts of the Randgold Resources (LSE: RRS; NASDAQ: GOLD) story are impressive. It has found five world-class deposits since the company was founded 17 years ago, and all of them are located on big geological anomalies.

In every mine that Randgold has started, it has made net profits in the first quarter of operations. The company poured the first gold at its newest mine, Kibali in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), ahead of time and on budget in the third quarter of 2013. Its flagship Loulo– Gounkoto mine complex in western Mali helped power Randgold to an 80% quarter-on-quarter profit increase for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2013, despite a 3% drop in the gold price. Its other mines are Morila in Mali, and Tongon in the Ivory Coast. For the group, Randgold increased production by 19% to 233,676 oz. gold in the third quarter and cut its cash cost by 17% to US$662 per oz. on the back of higher production. It remained net-cash positive despite capital expenditure on Kibali. The third quarter saw Randgold post a 670,000 oz. increase in reserves, at $1,000 per oz.

Mark Bristow has been CEO since the incorporation of Randgold,

which was founded on his pioneering work in West Africa. Bristow, who holds a PhD in geology from Natal University in South Africa, held a breakfast meeting in Toronto on Nov. 29, 2013, to discuss the company’s third-quarter results, and commented broadly on the state of the gold industry, valuations and political risk in Africa. Below are edited excerpts of his remarks.

On the gold industry

The gold industry is in a terrible state at the moment, and I would point out that I have been warning people about this for some time.

When you look at the performance of the gold stocks — literally with a few exceptions — most gold stocks are now trading below the price per share they traded at in July 2002. There are some exceptions, and Randgold Resources is one of them. You can see how closely we have tracked the gold price since it started rising in 2002.

So the question has to be asked: “What’s driven that?” Fundamentally there have been two things.

We haven’t replaced the ounces we’ve mined as an industry. In fact, for the last 12 years, we haven’t even reached 50% of reSee RANDGOLD, Page 14

Open-pit mining at Osisko Mining’s Canadian Malartic gold mine in Quebec.

BY SALMA TARIKH

Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) is launching a hostile $2.6-billion takeover bid for Osisko Mining (TSX: OSK; US-OTC: OSKFF) to acquire the smaller rival’s Canadian Malartic gold mine in Quebec, with many analysts arguing the offer is too low.

Under the proposed bid, Osisko shareholders would receive 0.146 of a Goldcorp share, plus $2.26 in cash

use, and job cuts will follow.

The layoffs will impact 25% of the mine’s workforce, Pazuki says.

Currently OceanaGold employs 455 permanent employees and another 110 contractors at Macraes.

The job losses should begin in “the near future,” and will continue “over the next couple of years,” he adds.

The gold operation, located in the Otago region of New Zealand’s South Island, comprises the Macraes open pit and the Frasers underground mine. Production from the pit started in 1990 and commissioning of the underground mine kicked off in 2008.

Carpathian Gold (TSX: CPN; US-OTC: CPNFF) has temporarily halted production at its new Riacho dos Machados (RDM) gold mine in Brazil, a day after pouring its first doré gold bar.

The Toronto-based firm says the production freeze follows suspension of its APO provisional permit, which allowed it to start up its processing plant. It says that SUPRAM, the state environmental agency, temporarily withdrew the APO mainly due to the “unusual recent heavy rainfall at the site.” Carpathian adds it is working with the government to assess the remediation work required to re-

“As a result of the prolonged and sustained drop in the gold price, the Macraes mine plan has been reoptimized to focus on lower-cost mining areas to sustain operations,” Sam Pazuki, OceanaGold’s manager of investor relations, said in an email. As result, mining rates at New Zealand’s largest gold mine will slump along with equipment

This comes as a blow to the company, which has spent the last six years trying to bring the past-producing RDM mine online and transition into a gold producer. It was only on Jan. 7 that Carpathian announced its first doré gold bar weighing 10.1 kg, boosting its shares 21% to 11.5¢.

It cautioned that it was experiencing more rain than normal in its Jan. 7 release, but reassured investors that the plant would ramp up to 8,400 tonnes per day in the coming weeks.

THE NORTHERN MINER

Goldcorp nails 2013 guidance, predicts falling cash costs

Goldcorp’s Penasquito gold mine in Zacatecas, Mexico.

VANCOUVER — Prominent Canadian gold miner Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) has proven to be more resilient in the face of falling precious metal prices than many of its peers. And if the company’s production guidance for 2014 is any indication, it will be a positive example of how to handle growth while managing lower operating costs per ounce.

On Jan. 8 Goldcorp released its year-end production report, and although the company cut its midterm growth targets, it still predicts a 50% production increase over the next two years at competitive cash costs.

Goldcorp reported record gold production during the fourth quarter, with 767,700 oz. gold at all-in sustaining cash costs of between US$885 and US$1,065 per oz. The strong quarter contributed to an 11% year-on-year jump in annual production, with the company cranking out around 2.67 million oz. in 2013. On a byproduct and co-product basis, costs are expected to average US$560 per oz. and US$710 per oz. over the past four quarters.

President and CEO Chuck Jeannes noted in the report that

GOLDCORP

“every Goldcorp-operated mine either met or exceeded [2013 guidance], with the exception of Los Filos, where record floods [in mid-2013] temporarily halted production.” The company continues to be anchored by strong production from its Penasquito mine in Mexico and Red Lake operation in Ontario, which jointly accounted for 897,000 oz., or 33% of the Goldcorp’s overall production.

The company estimates it will produce between 3 million oz. and 3.15 million oz. in 2014. Higher production will be fuelled by increasing grades in the Penasquito pit, as well as an ongoing ramp-up at the Pueblo Viejo joint venture in the Dominican Republic, where Goldcorp holds a 40% stake alongside operator Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX).

Goldcorp’s share of annual gold production at Pueblo Viejo is predicted to jump as much as 77% year-on-year to between 405,000 oz. and 420,000 oz., while high grades at Penasquito will boost production by up to 72% to between 530,000 oz. and 560,000 oz.

The company will see two development projects come online during 2014, namely its Cerro

Negro mine in Argentina and Éléonore mine in Quebec.

The timing of the ramp-up at Cerro Negro and Éléonore should result in significantly higher gold production in the second half of 2014. Cerro Negro is expected to contribute between 130,000 and 180,000 oz. next year, while Éléonore is slated to hit a production target in the fourth quarter and chip in between 40,000 and 60,000 oz.

Perhaps more importantly, Goldcorp’s cost-reduction strategies appear to be paying dividends. The company expects its all-in sustaining costs to fall to between US$950 to US$1,000 per oz. next year. The superior grades at Penasquito — projected to be the company’s largest-production asset — will definitely help, though Goldcorp notes it has redesigned its mine plan at the site. Penasquito’s projected mine life has dropped from 19 years to 13 years, with the company’s final two phases of pit development eliminated due to too-low grades.

The major shift for Goldcorp involves its extended growth forecast. At the beginning of 2013 the company predicted it would achieve a 70% boost in production to 4.2 million oz. gold over the next five years, but that has been notably pared back in its recent releases.

Not counting any successful bid for Osisko Mining, Goldcorp expects production to peak in 2016 at between 3.7 million and 4 million oz., before declining back down to the

3.5 million to 3.8 million oz. range for 2017 and 2018.

BMO Capital Markets analyst David Haughton — who has an “outperform” ranking on Goldcorp, along with a US$37-per-share price target — noted in a Jan. 8 research note that both the company’s fourth-quarter operating results and 2014 guidance were above research forecasts.

BMO Research had predicted fourth-quarter production of 720,000 oz. gold at cash costs of US$674 per oz., and expected Goldcorp’s 2014 guidance to clock in at 2.85 million oz.

Haughton says, however, that the company’s US$2.1-billion capital expenditure guidance for the coming year was higher than expected.

Goldcorp reported US$620 million to end 2013, as well as an undrawn US$2-billion credit facility. Major project expenditures in 2014 include US$600 million at Cerro Negro, US$570 million at Éléonore, US$125 million at Red Lake’s Cochenour Extension and US$85 million at the company’s earlier-stage Camino Rojo project in Mexico.

Goldcorp shares have traded within a 52-week range of $21.87 and $38.77, and closed up 2% following the 2013 production results, en route to a $24.31-pershare close at press time. Goldcorp has 812 shares outstanding for a $19.8-billion market capitalization. On Jan. 6, the company declared the first monthly dividend payment in 2014 of 5¢ per share.

Ontario operations. Goldcorp runs the large Red Lake mine in Ontario and is starting up the Éléonore gold mine in northern Quebec later this year.

Jeannes says the transaction is accretive to Goldcorp shareholders, and that the Canadian Malartic mine could become one of Goldcorp’s top mines in terms of free cash flow generation, gold production and net asset value.

“Canadian Malartic has a large reserve base — around 10 million oz. gold — supporting strong production over a long mine life. Due to the homogeneous orebody and favourable mining characteristics, we consider it to be a low-risk mine from a technical standpoint,” he added.

Located in Quebec’s prolific Abitibi gold belt, Canadian Malartic started production in May 2011 and is slated to produce 500,000 oz. gold a year over an initial 16-year mine life. If the deal concludes, Goldcorp would become Quebec’s largest gold producer.

Jeannes notes Goldcorp did not contact Osisko’s key shareholders or debt holders prior to the Jan. 13

announcement. The offer became official on Jan. 14, and remains open until Feb. 19, 2014.

On Jan. 15 Osisko said the fact that its share price soared above Goldcorp’s offer price shows that the takeover bid is “very low” and “opportunistic.” Osisko urged its shareholders not to take any action until its board makes a recommendation. Many analysts covering the Montreal-based firm agree and argue for a higher price.

Raymond James analyst Phil Russo said Goldcorp’s bid “falls short of an appropriate premium based on recent comparable acquisition transactions.”

Russo says that Goldcorp’s acquisition cost for Canadian Malartic’s reserves is $1,000 per oz., which represents a 20% discount to the spot gold price, compared to a 15% discount seen in similar transactions. He believes there’s room for Osisko to ask for a higher premium that equates to a 10–15% discount, potentially pushing the offer price to $6.50 to $6.75 per share. Russo has bumped his $6.25 target price to $6.50 and maintains a “market perform” rating on Osisko. He says the chances of a competing bid for Osisko are slim.

Desjardins analyst Michael Parkin agrees, noting the cost of the acquisition and the scale of Canadian Malartic lowers the potential of a “white knight” emerging. He says Goldcorp may need to sweeten its bid to win over Osisko shareholders, who drove the company’s shares up 20% on the news to close at $6.24, above the $5.95-per-share offer. But he says Goldcorp’s initial offer is a “smart starting point,” and could be raised to gain shareholder support from Osisko without “overpaying from the start by beginning with an overly aggressive bid.” He has a $6.75 price target on Osisko.

However, Jeannes hinted on the call that Goldcorp would keep its current offer. “We have shown a history of being disciplined in these sorts of things and we have a view of the value proposition — and we are going to stick to it.”

Adam Graf, a New York-based analyst at Cowen & Co., who covers both firms, says while Canadian Malartic would provide Goldcorp near-term free cash flow, Osisko’s other assets — including the Upper Beaver and Hammond Reef projects in Ontario — provide little value. He contends there are “more value-accretive assets for sale in Canada and North America,” such as Pretium Resources’ (TSX: PVG; NYSE: PVG) high-grade Brucejack project in B.C. The Osisko acquisition, Graf says, would reduce his US$19.36 price target on Goldcorp by 40¢ per share pro forma.

The deal requires standard regulatory approval and two thirds of Osisko’s shareholders to vote in favour of the acquisition.

Goldcorp closed the day at $25.04, down 25¢. It owns no Osisko shares.

THE NORTHERN MINER

OceanaGold OCEANAGOLD, From Page 1

At current gold prices, the mine life for the Frasers underground mine should conclude in mid-2015 and for the Macraes open pit at the end of 2017.

The revised mine plan shortens the mine life at Macraes by three years, with production wrapping up in 2017 instead of 2020, Brian Szeto, an analyst at Stonecap Securities, writes in a note.

Last June, the Melbourne-based firm also revised the mine plan for Reefton, its other open-pit gold mine on South Island. The operation is set to transition into care and maintenance in mid-2015.

Along with the recent changes at Macraes, the company announced its 2014 production guidance. It forecasts company-wide output of 275,000 to 305,000 oz. gold and 21,000 to 24,000 tonnes copper, at all-in sustaining costs of US$750 to US$850 per oz., net of by-product copper credits.

OceanaGold anticipates that its New Zealand operations will contribute 190,000 to 210,000 oz. gold to the company’s total, compared to last year’s target of 235,000 to 255,000 oz. The difference comes mainly from the lower production levels expected at Macraes following the new mine plan.

Pazuki said Reefton typically delivers 50,000 oz. gold a year, while production this year from Macraes is pegged at 150,000 to 160,000 oz.

But the silver lining in the 2014 output guidance is Didipio. OceanaGold expects the mine to churn out 85,000 to 95,000 oz. gold and 21,000 to 24,000 tonnes copper in 2014, compared to last year’s guidance of 50,000 to 70,000 oz. gold and 18,000 to 20,000 tonnes copper. All-in sustaining costs are estimated at negative US$240 to $210 per oz., net of copper by-product credits.

OceanaGold plans on increasing the mill throughput at Didipio to 3.5 million tonnes a year by the end of 2014, Pazuki says.

Stonecap’s Szeto says the pro-

duction guidance at the company’s newest mine beat his expectations.

“The fact that Didipio, the largest contributor to our [net asset value], is ramping up faster than expected is positive,” he says. But Szeto acknowledges the good news is “slightly offset” by the lower production and reduced mine life for the New Zealand operations.

BMO analyst Brian Quast also points to the rapid ramp-up at Didipio as a plus, but says the shorter mine life at Macraes could result in an impairment charge. The company is conducting an impairment review for its operations, which should be released in its 2013 year-end results.

To protect its gold sales from lower prices, OceanaGold plans to sell 208,000 oz. produced from Macraes in 2014 and 2015 through a “zero-cost” collar hedging program. The initiative will lock in the gold price at NZ$1,500 to $1,600 per oz. gold (US$1,230 to US$1,312 per oz.). The downfall of this is that if the gold spot price moves above NZ$1,600 per oz. over the next two years, the company will still receive NZ$1,600 per oz. for each ounce sold. Production from its Reefton mine was similarly hedged last June.

For capital spending this year, OceanaGold has budgeted US$80 million to US$100 million, of which US$50 million to US$60 million is for its New Zealand operations and the rest for Didipio.

It has another US$5 million to US$10 million set aside for exploration in the Philippines and to maintain the newly acquired El Dorado project in El Salvador.

OceanaGold closed Jan. 10 up nearly 6% at $1.65, within a 52-week range of $1.04 to $2.97. It has a $495-million market capitalization.

Quast has trimmed his $2 target to $1.75 and rates the stock as “market perform.” Szeto maintains an “outperform” rating, but is in the midst of updating his $2.30-pershare valuation.

Golden Star disappoints with fourth-quarter results

Golden Star Resources’ Wassa gold mine in southwest Ghana.

Golden Star Resources (TSX: GSC; NYSE-MKT: GSS) has stayed within its guidance, but the market still took a harsh view of fourthquarter production results.

The company’s two mines in Ghana’s Ashanti gold belt — Bogoso and Wassa — generated 75,429 oz. gold, with 44,337 of those ounces coming from Wassa mine and 31,093 oz. coming from Bogoso.

For the year, the two mines produced 330,805 oz. gold.

This year-end number is in line with Golden Star’s revised guidance of 325,000 to 330,000 oz., and cashoperating costs are expected to be at the low end of the US$1,050 to 1,150 per oz. guidance range.

And while near BMO Research’s 77,500 oz. estimate for the quarter, the numbers disappointed Scotiabank analyst Trevor Turnbull, who was expecting a strong fourth quarter, but instead saw Golden Star production come in 24% below his estimate.

This year, Golden Star expects production below the 330,805 oz. it produced in 2013, as it pegged production guidance for 2014 in the 295,000 to 320,000 oz. range.

The numbers are slightly better than what BMO Capital Markets analyst Andrew Breichmanas expected, estimating 275,531 oz., with the difference attributed to Golden Star anticipating higher production at Bogoso.

Overall production is expected to come off slightly due to the lower production at Wassa, which is expected to turn out 130,000 to 140,000 oz. this year, compared to the 185,807 oz. it produced last year.

The drop-off is blamed on the higher-grade Father Brown satellite pit at Wassa, which is reaching the end of its mine life. In its place will emerge the Wassa Main pit. At Wassa Main it will take time to get to the deeper, higher-grade mate-

stock fell 17% to close a day later at 9.5¢.

Shobana Thaya, the company’s director of corporate communications and investor relations, said in an emailed response that Carpathian didn’t expect the APO would be suspended and gave no other reason for the stoppage other than the rainfall.

Asked how long the remediation work would take and its extent of damage, she replied that the company would provide more details at a later date.

Adding uncertainty to the fate of the RDM mine is the company’s bleak financial state, and how it intends to meet its looming debt payments. At the end of last September Carpathian had a huge working capital deficit of US$102.5 million.

On Dec. 20, 2013, Carpathian said that Macquarie Bank Ltd. extended its forbearance agreement to Jan. 3, 2014. In this contract Macquarie agreed to provide Carpathian more funds under a third tranche of project financing. Repayment was originally due last November, and bears a 15% annual interest rate.

So far, Carpathian has drawn down US$30 million from the third

tranche, noting the Jan. 3 repayment date “has not been formally extended.” It has another US$90 million outstanding under the first two tranches of the Macquarie project loan. Thaya says the firm plans to begin paying down this debt this year.

“At present, additional funding for the project to be able to continue producing and shipping gold remains entirely at the discretion of Macquarie, and there is, therefore, no assurance that [MRDM, the company’s subsidiary that owns the mine] will have sufficient funds to continue its operations,” Carpathian outlined in the Jan. 7 release.

The miner added that it was working with Macquarie to assess “all possible ongoing options, including the strategic alternative process that remains underway.”

The gold-focused firm revealed its financial strain last October after it delayed production at RDM to fourth-quarter 2013, and later deferring revenue. Carpathian’s board has since been assessing strategic alternatives, including merging with another company, and selling Carpathian or its assets.

Along with the RDM mine, Carpathian owns the Rovina Valley gold–copper project in Romania.

rial. Golden Star says investors should expect higher grades and production as the year progresses at Wassa Main.

Switching pits at Wassa means that the Bogoso complex will play a big part in the company meeting its own guidance, and Breichmanas points out that Bogoso has historically been the least consistent of the two mines.

Even the company concedes that production numbers will go up and down throughout the year, as pushbacks need to be completed at Bogoso — which aren’t expected until the end of March.

Together, Bogoso and Wassa have proven and probable reserves of 67.1 million tonnes grading 2 grams gold for 4.31 million oz. gold.

Golden Star finished up the year with US$66 million in cash, after drawing US$20 million from its medium-term, US$50-million term facility. The company expects to spend US$50 million in capex for the year.

Turnbull and Breichmanas rate Golden Star as “sector underperform,” and Breichmanas has a 50¢ price target.

In Toronto on Jan. 9 — the day the results were released — the company’s shares were off 5¢, or 10% to 47¢, on 17,266 shares traded.

Takeover bids, real and imagined It’s been a tough couple of years for the gold-mining industry, so some much-needed comic relief came along at just the right time in mid-January in the form of a purported unsolicited, all-cash, $7.50-per-share bid for U.S. gold miner Allied Nevada Gold by Hong Kong-registered China Gold Stone Mining Development.

In some ways the deal made sense, in that Allied Nevada has had its share price depressed owing to the industry downturn, operational problems in early 2013 and since-resolved debtcovenant pressures that piled on in late 2013.

But a lot of things didn’t make sense: nobody had ever heard of China Gold Stone, and over the past half-dozen years Chinese companies have been far more interested in acquiring base metals and other industrial mineral assets. Luxury goods-focused gold and diamond companies have generally not been acquisition targets.

Another red flag was that China Gold Stone said it operated three gold mines in China valued at $15 billion, which sounds preposterous. (With its multitude of high-quality mines worldwide, Barrick Gold’s market cap is only US$21 billion, for comparison.)

Allied Nevada responded in midday on Jan. 14 that it had received a letter from Gold Stone the day before notifying it of the “bid,” and that management was suspicious of its validity, starting with basic reasons such non-compliant filings and deadlines.

The afternoon of Jan. 14 saw a new press release come across the wire with the headline “KILLKILLKILL.” No, it wasn’t the promotion of a new Russ Meyer-inspired film, but rather an announcement by China Gold Stone that its press release issued earlier in the day regarding a bid for Allied Nevada “was issued in error and without the advice of counsel.”

It’s funny: Allied Nevada’s stock closed at $4.69 on Jan. 13 before the “bid” was made public, and has at press time settled into the $5.10 range after a little see-sawing. In other words, the stock never came close to the purported bid price, but apparently the whole silly episode caused enough serious investors to take a second look at Allied Nevada’s valuation and determine that indeed the company had been underappreciated in the market, and decisively push the stock up 8%.

And so it ends, with happy faces all around in the Allied Nevada camp.

• A genuine and far more consequential unsolicited bid in midJanuary was Goldcorp’s $2.6-billlion cash and shares offer for Osisko Mining and its world-class Canadian Malartic gold mine in Quebec’s Abitibi region.

Goldcorp’s offer values Osisko at $5.95 per share, or a 15% premium to the previous week’s trading, but Osisko’s shares quickly plateaued at $6.20, indicating expectations of a sweetener.

Still, it’s quite a comedown for Osisko shareholders, who once basked in a $15 share price in late 2010, and $10 as recently as mid2012. During the resource-drilling and mine-construction phases at Canadian Malartic, Osisko shares were widely judged by Bay Street to be too expensive to trigger a takeover bid by a gold major, and so the company had no choice but to proceed with mine construction and commercial operations on its own — which it has done with considerable success and aplomb.

Unusually for these cases, Goldcorp’s share price was essentially unchanged after its bid was made public.

While a sweetener is anticipated, there are still a lot of mixed signals about whether another company will join the fun and start a bidding war. Many gold analysts have predicted more M&A activity in the gold sector this year, but few majors have an appetite for these kinds of multi-billion dollar purchases, as they are more focused these days on cost-cutting and meeting capex predictions.

One potential suitor that was always a non-starter during the exploration and mine-development phase at Canadian Malartic was Barrick, largely because Osisko had built its empire on ground that Barrick had let slip out of its hands for almost nothing, and it would have been humiliating for the same management group to buy back the same property for billions of dollars. But today few people remember that, and there has been such wholesale turnover in Barrick’s executive suites that those egocentric concerns probably aren’t a factor.

Strong headwinds for gold in 2014 Challenging macroeconomic conditions are likely to drive gold prices lower in 2014, commodity specialists at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse say, and both banks agree the precious metal could test the US$1,000 per oz. level before the year is out. Bank of America Merrill Lynch forecasts gold will average US$1,150 per oz. this year, while Credit Suisse says the average will be closer to US$1,080 per oz.

Rising U.S. 10-year treasury yields and subdued inflation sum up the essence of the economic headwinds facing gold this year, Bank of America Merrill Lynch says in its report published Jan. 9. Researchers at the bank contend that investors, who have been marginal buyers in recent years, are likely to continue reducing their exposure to gold at the same time, as demand for physical gold from buyers in China and India (import restrictions in the latter are in place to ease New Delhi’s current account deficit) will likely “not be strong enough to stop prices from falling further.”

The good news, they say, is that gold could bottom out this year as markets rebalance. In terms of supply, “miners are adjusting to the challenging operating environment and capex curtailments will almost certainly reduce the scope for supply increasing going forward,” Bank of America Merrill Lynch contends. At the same time, “continued apprehension over unexpected inflation, on views that the output gap may be much smaller, especially in the U.S., could bring gold buyers back into the market.” As a consequence, the investment bank’s commodity analysts argue, 2014 “may provide interesting entry points for gold investors.”

Credit Suisse points to most of the same macroeconomic arguments against higher prices (rising rates, absence of inflation) and add a few new ones (the end of the decline of the U.S. dollar and global growth momentum). But overall the bank’s analyst is less sanguine than his peers at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, stating that: “in absolute and relative terms, gold still appears overvalued.”

London-based research analyst Tom

Kendall argues that the exceptional demand in Asia last year for jewellery and small-investment products would not be repeated this year, and that “with the exception of a handful of smaller emerging market economies with weak currencies, investors buying gold today as insurance against a future macroeconomic event will be paying a high premium at a time when risks are still subsiding.”

According to Kendall’s 2014 gold model, the market will be oversupplied by 100 tonnes in 2014.

“Mining companies could take much more aggressive action to suspend subeconomic operations than anticipated,” Kendall writes. “However, with all-in cash costs having been cut substantially in 2013 and exploration budgets trimmed sharply, we think lower prices are still a prerequisite for a major restructuring of the gold industry, which in turn would come with a lag of at least three to four quarters.” Indeed, he doesn’t think cost support will come into play until at least the first half of 2015.

Kendall forecasts that it is unlikely India will repeal its import restrictions on gold or its limits on the use of credit to buy it, because the government “has staked considerable credibility on reducing the balance of payments deficit,” while the domestic economy struggles.

But what about central banks and their appetite for gold? Here, too, Kendall is pessimistic. “Those banks that declared sizable increases in their gold reserves between the global financial crisis and first-quarter 2014 (including Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, the Philippines and Thailand) have reported no change in holdings since March last year, despite the [approximately] 25% drop in price,” he says. “The motivation for many of those to diversify their USD-dominated FX reserves remains, but the past five years has been extremely difficult for reserve managers (European crisis, Australian dollar depreciating, Japanese yen depreciating, gold slumping), and given their inherently cautious mandates, we do not expect an early or wholesale return of See COMMENTARY, Page 5

Rio Alto gets an environmental nod to expand mine at La Arena

BY SALMA TARIKH

Rio Alto Mining (TSX: RIO; TSXV: RIO; NYSE: RIOM) is inching closer to producing copper from its La Arena project in northern Peru, with a recent environmental approval for an 18,000-tonne-per-day, open-pit sulphide operation.

Rio Alto produces gold from an oxide dump leach mine at La Arena. The gold mine reached commercial production in January 2012, and is slated to churn out 190,000 to 210,000 oz. in 2013, at all-in sustaining costs of US$900 to US$1,000 per oz.

Ore at La Arena is extracted from two high-sulphidation epithermal pits — Calaorco and Ethel — and dumped by truck onto leach pads before being treated with cyanideleach solution for 60 days. The pregnant solution is then pumped into a nearby adsorption, desorption and refining plant that has a daily capacity of 36,000 tonnes.

This production rate should continue into the first half of 2017, before tapering off and giving way to the second, more robust phase of the project. Phase two consists of mining copper with gold credits from the adjacent copper–gold– molybdenum porphyry pit.

On Jan. 6, Rio Alto announced that Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines approved the modifications it made to the environmental-impact assessment (EIA) for an expanded La Arena. The amended EIA “allows us to begin preparation of additional permit applications for the sulphide mine [such as modifying facilities], concentrator and

waste dump, and tailings disposal,” Alejandra Gomez, Rio Alto’s manager of investor relations, said in an email. She estimates phase-two construction could start in late 2014 or 2015, depending on when Rio Alto receives the construction permits.

rating on Rio Alto.

Meanwhile, the single-asset miner is wrapping up a feasibility study for the sulphide project due in the second quarter. It says building the 18,000-tonne-per-day copper–gold project would cost US$200 million to US$250 million. Start-up

Phase-two construction at La Arena should begin in late 2014 or 2015.

Commenting on the EIA approval that took seven months to complete, Gomez says in an interview that “everyone is working hard — especially our Lima environmental team, which was working in record time to obtain approval for the modifications to the EIA. That’s a great milestone for us. Things don’t usually happen that quickly.”

Raymond James analyst Adam Low echoed that the milestone helps the company’s aspirations to become a copper producer at La Arena, and that “longer-term, the company is backed by organic growth from an attractive copper– gold project at La Arena that is scalable, and can be internally funded due to its low capital intensity,” he writes in a note. Low has a $3.50 price target and an “outperform 2”

production is slated at 50 million lb. copper and 40,000 oz. gold a year, at an ­average grade of 0.4% copper and 0.3 gram gold per tonne. Rio Alto plans on expanding throughput to 36,000 tonnes per day.

Desjardins analyst Adam Melnyk predicts that phase-two production will kick off in 2018 and run for 21 years. He has a “speculative buy” and a $4 target.

However BMO analyst Brian Quast appears less bullish on the stock, with a $2.25 price target and a “market perform” rating. “The environmental modifications indicate positive progress in the development of the phase-two project, which has beenmovingforwardslowly,”henotes.

In a November 2013 presentation, Rio Alto said that over the next 12 months, it expected to

spend at least US$3 million on feasibility costs, US$16 million building a substation and transmission line, and US$12 million acquiring surface rights for the project’s third phase, which contemplates underground mining.

The miner expects to publish an updated oxide reserve-and-resource statement for La Arena in the second quarter. Gomez says the update could add another year or two to the mine’s oxide reserve life, pushing production beyond 2017.

Rio Alto plans to release its yearend 2013 results and 2014 production guidance at the end of March.

It has US$50 million in cash, Gomez says.

The 206 sq. km La Arena project — acquired from Iamgold (TSX: IMG; NYSE: IAG) in early 2011 — is 480 km north from Lima and 18 km from the town of Huamachuco.

It is 3,400 metres above sea level in a known gold district that includes Barrick Gold’s (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) Lagunas Norte mine and Sulliden Gold’s (TSX: SUE; US-OTC: SDDDF) Shahuindo gold–silver project.

The stock recently closed at $1.78, or 68% below its 52-week high of $5.64 on Jan. 16, 2013. It sank to a yearly low of $1.33 early last December.

those previously large buyers.”

As for China, he says, “authorities are motivated to build a sizable gold reserve before [China’s renminbi currency] gets close to convertibility . . . [and] that point is probably still three years away.” In the meantime, Chinese state institutions will continue to accumulate most, if not all, of domestic production in China, which in 2013 worked out to 420 tonnes, he says.

The big question becomes: What happens if and when the Chinese stop buying?

“Given the size of the imports into Hong Kong last year [1,263 tonnes in the first 10 months], it does not require a huge leap of imagination to think that there may well have been some sovereign buying from non-domestic sources,” he says. “Gold bulls would be inclined to view that positively, but if — as some estimates have it — Chinese state buying exceeded 1,000 tonnes in 2013 and the price still ended the year sub$1,200. We are more inclined to wonder what would happen if they stepped back from the market.”

Looking out past 2014, Bank of America Merrill Lynch forecasts average gold prices in 2015 and 2016 of US$1,256 per oz. and US$1,400 per oz., while Credit Suisse predicts average gold prices will fall to US$990 per oz. in 2015, before rising to US$1,000 per oz. in 2016.

MARKET NEWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE Canada’s benchmark index gained during the week, as prices of gold and other commodities rose following poor North American jobs data.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index ended up 198.66 points at 13,747.52. The spot price for gold rose US$10.60 to $1,248.60, pushing up the gold miners. The S&P/TSX Global Gold Index added 5.14 points to end at 166.69. The S&P/TSX Capped Diversified Metals & Mining Index stayed relatively flat at 779.75.

Statistics Canada reported Canada shed 45,900 jobs in December, well below the expected gain of 14,000. The unemployment rate climbed to 7.2% from 6.9% in November.

Meanwhile the Labor Department said the U.S. created 74,000 jobs last month, falling short of the predicted 200,000. But the jobless rate fell from 7% to 6.7%, the lowest level since October 2008, as more Americans simply stopped looking for jobs.

Macarthur Minerals led the week’s percentage gainers, jumping 93% to 29¢ after updating investors on its Ularring hematite project in Western Australia’s Yilgarn iron-ore district. Australia-based Macarthur reported that the Esperance Port Authority received two development

proposals for a multi-user iron ore facility.

Obtaining a developer this year will allow the company to move forward on project financing, partner contracting and off-take agreements.

Goldgroup Mining tacked on 33% to end at 18¢, after announcing on Jan. 9 that it started production on its Cerro Prieto heap-leach gold mine in Sonora, Mexico.

The mine generated 285 oz. gold in December. However, the Vancouver-based firm warned it was not basing its production decision on a preliminary economic assessment or feasibility study, noting this increases the “multiple technical and economic risks of failure.”

On the flip side, United Silver lost 50% to close at 2¢ after trading in its

shares was halted on Jan. 10 pending a delisting. The delisting review was announced on Jan. 7, but expedited a day after United Silver reported a courtappointed receiver and manager for its assets and company.

Similarly Brazil-focused Colossus Minerals dropped 38% to end the week at 4¢, after the TSX reduced its delisting review from 120 days starting Dec. 20, 2013, to 30

days beginning Jan. 8, 2014.

On Jan. 14 the cash-strapped company said it would file for protection under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. It wasn’t able to make a Dec. 31 interest payment on its convertible gold-linked notes before the end of Jan. 10.

Following the bankruptcy news, the TSX expedited its review process and suspended trading in Colossus’ securities.

Under terms of the agreement Midlands may spend $4.5 million in exploration over four years so that it can earn a 51% interest in Parlozi. Midlands can bump it stake to 55% by obtaining a mineral-exploitation permit from the Serbian government, and increase its ownership to 75% by completing a bankable feasibility study over the next two years.

Parlozi is a 91 sq. km exploration permit covering historical lead–zinc–silver mining in the Kosmaj–Babe area of the Sumadija mining district in central Serbia.

Exploration was conducted at the site during the 1970s and 1980s by state-controlled Yugoslavian companies, with historic data including 36 drill holes over 15,000 metres.

U.S. M ARKETS The first trading week of 2014 saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average slide 0.02% to 16,437.05, the S&P 500 inch up 0.60% to 1,842.37 and the Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index rise 0.49% to 87.05. Weaker-than-expected jobs data dampened spirits later in the week, with nonfarm payrolls rising 74,000 in December, the smallest gain since January 2011.

Shares of Compass Minerals International posted the week’s largest gain, jumping US$2.15 per share to US$81.43, on the back of severe winter weather and greater demand for highway de-icing. Compass Minerals — a leading producer of minerals, including salt — reported that its highway de-icing business sold 4 million tons in the three months ended December 2013, well above the 2.3 million tons in the year-ago quarter. Eleven cities in the company’s primary North American highway de-icing service area reported 81 snow events during the period, compared with a 10-year average of 44.8 events. The same cities posted only 36 snow events in the fourth quarter of 2012.

JA N U A R Y 6 -10 Newfoundland and Labrador released the company from the provincial-environmental assessment (EA) process for its Kami iron-ore project in western Labrador. The Kami project is still waiting for federal EA approvals, which Alderon expects in February. The project also requires approval from the provincial government to expand transmission capacity from Churchill Falls to Labrador West. Alderon owns 75% of the project and China’s largest steel producer, Hebei Iron & Steel Group Co., owns the remaining 25%. Production from Kami is expected to start in late 2015.

THE NORTHERN MINER JANUARY 20-26, 2014 11

Platinum Group Metals raises $175M Shares of Platinum Group Metals (TSX: PTM; NYSE-MKT: PLG) got a boost on the final trading day of 2013 after the company announced that it had completed a $175-million equity raise at $1.18 per share.

The proceeds will help fund the company’s second development phase at its WBJV1 platinum project in South Africa’s Bushveld complex, exploration and engineering work at its Waterberg joint-venture project and exploration at its Waterberg Extension project.

BMO Capital Markets and GMP Securities led the team of underwriters for the bought-deal financing that included CIBC World Markets, RBC Dominion Securities, Barclays Capital Canada, PI Financial Corp., Raymond James and Dundee Securities.

The financing couldn’t have come at a better time. In mid-October, Platinum Group Metals shares took a hit after Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration, a subsidiary of Wesizwe Platinum, announced that it would not fund a US$21.8-million cash call for its 26% share of the WBJV1 platinum project. Platinum Group Metals owns 74% of the low-cost, highgrade project in the Western Limb of the Bushveld complex.

Edward Sterck of BMO Capital Markets in London says in a research note that the equity raise “substantially derisks the development of the conventionally mined WBJV1, whilst clearing the way for further evaluation of the mechanized, mining amenable — and somewhat unique — Waterberg project.”

He says that “barring unforseen

further delays or cost inflation, the raised gross amount of $175 million should be sufficient to cover the completion cost of the WBJV1 to net-positive cash flow, including any cost overrun requirement on the project-finance facility.”

The company reported that assays from drilling on the Waterberg Extension project, adjacent and north of its Waterberg deposit, intersected 53 metres averaging 5.26 grams per tonne of platinum, palladium and gold (1.40 grams per tonne platinum, 3.59 grams per tonne palladium and 0.27 gram gold per tonne) from 556 metres to 609 metres in hole 8.

The hole is 340 metres northward along strike from the previously announced hole 2 at the Waterberg Extension project, which returned 15.6 metres grading 3.16 grams platinum, palladium and gold (1.11 grams platinum, 1.92 grams palladium and 0.13 gram gold) and 1,600 metres directly along strike from the Waterberg joint-venture project deposit.

The Waterberg Extension project and the Waterberg deposit are distinct from one another. Platinum Group Metals holds an 87% stake in the Waterberg Extension project and a 49.9% stake in the Waterberg project. Its joint-venture partners in Waterberg are Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp., and Mnombo, a private-empowerment partner, holding the balance.

Platinum Group Metals’ shares were trading at $1.20 at press time.

The company has 453 million shares outstanding.

Sterck of BMO Capital Markets has a $1.50-per-share target price.

Detour’s hard work pays off The repair crew for Detour Gold (TSX: DGC; US-OTC: DRGDF) didn’t let the holidays get in the way of getting the job done.

While others were tucking into Christmas turkey, Detour’s team was hard a work repairing the thickener system at the company’s flagship Detour Lake gold mine.

After all the hard work, the company welcomed the new year with news that operations at Detour Lake are back in full swing.

Investors were notified that things were getting interesting at the mine just two days before Christmas, when Detour announced that it had shut down its mill on Dec. 17 due to structural damage to the torque cage.

The repair crew got to work on the pre-leach thickener system and replaced the bottom section of the torque cage over the holidays. The mill was running again on Jan. 2, and Detour says it should be back to operating at 50,000 tonnes per day.

Detour made the most of the downtime, using it as an opportunity to wrap up mill-related repairs and improvements, including installing a second shuttle chute to the secondary crushers.

After announcing the shutdown, Detour updated the market on the mine’s progress, saying that mining rates improved in December and averaged 238,000 tonnes per day up, and

TNM Jan 20 2014_Front Section.indd 11

that it expected gold production to be 81,000 oz. for the fourth quarter and 231,000 oz. for the year.

The company also said it had higher-grade inventory of 847,000 tonnes with an average grade 1.07 grams per tonne, compared to the proven and probable reserves’ average grade of 1.03 grams per tonne.

Scotiabank analyst Leily Omoumi believes the shutdown was an isolated incident, and that the severe cold was a contributing factor.

“The mechanical issue with the thickener should be viewed as short term and likely not a fatal flaw. We doubt there is anything unique about Detour’s slurry that would lead to anything out of the ordinary,” she wrote in a research note.

Omoumi expects that fourthquarter production at the mine will come in at 80,000 oz. gold, and expects $73 million in cash for 2013, against the company’s $80-million guidance.

BMO Capital Markets analyst John Hayes agreed that the failure of the thickener system would only be a fourth-quarter issue, but added that the improvements made during the shutdown would bode well for the future.

“The installation of the shuttle conveyors should help increase mill throughput to design levels,” he wrote.

Hayes rates Detour as “outperform,” with a $9.50 target price.

Hudbay unveils financing, 2014 guidance Hudbay Minerals (TSX: HBM; NYSE: HBM) was among the first off the starting blocks this year with news of a $1-billion capital budget for 2014 — the lion’s share of which is earmarked for growth initiatives — and a $150-million bought-deal financing that the company says will give it the flexibility to grow.

The mid-tier base metals producer forecasts metal production this year of 41,000 to 55,000 tonnes copper (90 million to 121 million lb. copper), up 60% year-on-year; 87,000 to 105,000 tonnes zinc (192 million to 231 million lb. zinc), up 11% year-on-year; and 101,000 to 123,000 equivalent oz. gold (with a 50-to-1 silver-to-gold ratio in concentrate), up 23% year-on-year.

Commercial production is set to get underway in the first half of the year at its 70%-owned copper–zinc–gold Reed mine in the Flin Flon greenstone belt in Manitoba and commercial production from the main production shaft at its 100%-owned copper–zinc– gold Lalor mine, also in Manitoba, will kick off in the second half of the year.

Other upcoming milestones include initial production at its Constancia copper mine in Peru in late 2014, with commercial production to follow in the second half of 2015.

HUDBAY MINERALS

A $20.4-million exploration budget will focus on developing an underground exploration drift at Lalor during the second half of the year, and other exploration efforts near existing and planned processing infrastructure in Manitoba and Peru.

In Peru, Hudbay will continue exploration on the porphyry and skarn mineralization potential of its property near the Constancia deposit and in Manitoba, and continue underground exploration drilling at the 777 mine, with the

Macquarie’s musings on M&A, gold in 2014 Analysts in the Toronto, Vancouver and London offices of Macquarie Equities Research are forecasting more consolidation in the mining industry this year, especially amongst producers, and calculate that the average premium paid in 15 mergers and acquisitions last year was 35% for producer targets and 53% for explorer and developer targets.

They say that in 2014, companies that could become acquirers include Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM), Argonaut Gold (TSX: AR; US-OTC: ARNGF), Alamos Gold (TSX: AGI; NYSE: AGI), Osisko Mining (TSX: OSK; US-OTC: OSKFF), Iamgold (TSX: IMG; NYSE: IAG) and B2Gold (TSX: BTO; NYSE-MKT: BTG), while acquisition targets could include Semafo (TSX: SMF; USOTC: SEMFF), AuRico Gold (TSX: AUQ; NYSE: AUQ), Detour Gold (TSX: DGC; US-OTC: DRGDF), Kirkland Lake Gold (TSX: KGI; US-OTC: KGILF), Carpathian Gold(TSX:CPN;US-OTC:CPNFF), Timmins Gold (TSX: TMM; NYSE-MKT: TGD) and Iamgold.

The mining analysts emphasize that the focus in 2014 will be cost containment, as producers try to trim operating costs and become “extremely judicious with their capital allocation — especially for new projects.” They estimate that these measures will lower the 2013 all-in sustaining costs (AISC) for producers from US$1,100 per oz. to US$917 per oz. in 2014, and US$892 per oz. in 2015.

Macquarie cautions investors to “stay defensive” and “avoid highcost, near-term producers with stressed balance sheets.”

Analysts say they are focused on producers with low AISC and developers with advanced projects.

As for the gold price, they predict that “volatility will again be a key

theme” this year, but that they expect “Chinese buying [investment and/or jewellery] to minimize the downside risk to the gold price,” even while demand from India in the first half of the year “looks set to be a drag.”

goal of extending mine life beyond 2021. The 777 mine has been producing zinc, copper, gold and silver since 2004.

In terms of its 2014 capex of $1 billion, $714 million is earmarked for Constancia, $75 million for Lalor and $5 million for Reed.

Analyst Stefan Ioannou of Haywood Securities comments in a research note that Hudbay’s current market value “provides a compelling buying opportunity for investors looking to take advantage of the option value that successful growth execution entails [on the back of anticipated medium-term zinc price strength].”

At press time Hudbay was trading at $8.46 per share within a 52week range of $6.02 to $12.10. The company has 172 million shares outstanding.

Alec Kodatsky, a mining analyst at CIBC, has a 12- to 18-month target price of $12 per share, while BMO’s Aleksandra Bukacheva’s target price is $8 per share.

Randgold’s Mark Bristow on mining in Africa RANDGOLD, From Page 1

placement. And this is a serious situation, and no one identified it.

And in fact, it’s interesting that analysts, almost to a person, criticized Randgold at the end of 2012 when we didn’t increase our reserves. But we kept our grade the same, because everyone got on this bandwagon and no one understood the impact of just adding reserves at a higher gold price.

And so when you don’t replace quality with quality, this is what happens — the grade comes down materially. And unlike 1999–2000, the industry is bust today. It is completely broke . . . it’s got to deal with some tough decisions . . . for Randgold, we’re not gold bulls, we really do worry about making profits and running a business, and it frustrates me that we are in an industry that is definitely inelastic . . . we’re watching the industry [do what] it did in 1992, 1993, 1996 and 1997 — supply gold into the industry at a loss, a significant loss.

The other thing that fascinates me about the last [third] quarter is that . . . our bankers and our analysts turn around and say: “Look at the operating results for the last quarter: an improvement.” But no one looks at the debt. The industry produced more gold last quarter at a higher loss than it ever has in history, and everyone thinks it’s turning around.

We calculated our reserves as an industry on a consolidated, weighted basis at US$1,400 an oz. for the beginning of this year. You can’t make money at US$1,250 if you calculated reserves at US$1,400, because reserve calculations don’t use capital. Another way to look at it is that if you take a basket of input costs from 2002, the input costs on average have gone up 150%. That means if the gold price has gone up 400%, there’s a large margin. But it’s not thick because of the grade. And you can cut head office, you can cut capital, you can cut exploration — but it doesn’t change the underlying profitability of a tonne of rock. The only thing that affects base costs in the mining industry is the grade of the rock you mine.

On Randgold’s thirdquarter results

We are in a particularly pleasing third quarter. Everyone, I think . . . was surprised. I would point out that they shouldn’t have been, because we weren’t even above our guidance. We were in line with our guidance and we reguided the market in March, where we took some ounces out of Loulo– Gounkoto and focused on cash flow, because 2013 was a big capital year for us, it was our peak funding year . . . the quarter itself was full of firsts. It was the first time we produced more than 160,000 oz. at Loulo–Gounkoto.

It’s the first time for a long time that we showed a drop in costs per ounce both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year, and of course the key player was the first gold at Kibali ahead of schedule. We still have some challenges in our business, as one always has, and we still have a box to tick on Tongon and the recoveries. And also key for us was that we started seeing exploration results that are meaningful. As you know, we are big on exploration. We’ve never chased our budget up . . . we’ve been spending about US$50 million on exploration a year, but we’ve got some really interesting numbers coming through suddenly, and that’s really the only way, as I’ve

said many times, that one can create value in the mining industry.

business without having to go out to the market and place equity.

On the DRC and Kibali

On acquisitions

The DRC and that whole Great Lakes area has really changed a lot, and it’s going to keep changing at quite a pace. Just recently Kenya announced with the Chinese that a new railroad will go from the Kenya port all the way up to south Sudan, and into the DRC. So there’s a lot of money going into that part of the world. The M23 defeat is a critical step forward.

But another material thing is that we are actually shipping gold directly [by air] from the [Kibali] mine . . . to Kenya. We have a . . . licensed airfield at Kibali with immigration and customs, and the full Monty, and we ship directly out of DRC . . . if we had said to you that we’re going to ship out of DRC without going via Kinshasa two years ago, it wouldn’t have happened. And that’s how much things have moved on, to get people on-site, to get their head around measuring the gold, checking the assays, signing off on the weights, paying the royalties and then shipping directly. There’s a lot happening in these countries, particularly in that region.

Right now when we look at stuff in our backyard there’s nothing that appeals to us on value. And our focus is on exploration and tying up the collapsing juniors in earn-in deals. We’re about to announce another one. We’ve got three already.

On gold prices

Randgold Resources CEO Mark Bristow. from 2015 for 10 years to 2025. And at Tongon, it’s 260,000 oz. to 280,000 oz. next year, and it will be 300,000 oz. for six years at US$750 per oz. And Tongon has no capital. The last bit of capital is [2014], and it’s really US$1.5 million to $2 million a year.

If you look at Loulo–Gounkoto, we’re guiding 570,000 oz. for [2013], so we’ll beat our revised guidance of 560,000 by a little bit.

Right now at these gold prices we are fine. We pull in cash every week at these gold prices, but [who knows] where the gold prices are going to go to in the short-term . . . I guess the frustration for me is that all my colleagues in the gold industry are working very hard to f – – k the gold price up. And how long is it going to take? It’s bizarre. The point is that it’s this liability issue. If you look at Barrick . . . it could be the best gold company on this planet — in fact, it could be one of the best companies on this planet. If you take its top six assets, it’s a very, very, profitable business. It really is. But that means you have got to close 21 operations, or list shit compa-

Right now at these gold prices we are fine. We pull in cash every week at these gold prices, but [who knows] where the gold prices are going to go to in the short-term . . . I guess the frustration for me is that all my colleagues in the gold industry are working very hard to f – – k the gold price up. And how long is it going to take? It’s bizarre.

Our big challenge at Kibali is managing the drop-off in employment as we come to the end of the capital project. We’ve got big farming initiatives. We’re quite far down the road now in facilitating an investment by an Asian group into palm oil, which will mop up the [un]employment. We really worried about the local labour — that’s unskilled labour that is coming out of the mine as we close the capital projects. And we’ve got some interesting initiatives for those that are interested. One of the farming initiatives that we initiated as part of the relocation program has just won a contract to supply maize to the World Food Programme. Out of a group of 100 farmers [in the co-operative], they’re clearing $100 per person per month, which is quite significant for that part of the world.

On guidance

We are guiding 550,000 oz. next year for Kibali and we’ll do about plus 600,000 oz. for the next 10 years. And on a real basis, that means on today’s money terms that we produce at under US$600 total cash costs. And I’ll remind you that at Randgold we do not have corporate general and administrative expenses, so our total cash costs are everything except tax, capital and discovery costs.

We run our business on a fiveyear rolling plan. We guide on five years, as well as detail on one year . . . we’ve always had as a target, as our next milestone, to exceed 1.2 million oz. on a consolidated basis in 2015. We’re running the risk of getting to that point next year if everything works, and I’ll take you through what makes up that guidance. On Morila, we should do 140,000 oz. At Kibali, plus 600,000 oz. after 2014. So

The costs are well within guidance. Next year Loulo–Gounkoto will do 640,000 oz., and then 700,000, 735,000, 750,000 and 750,000 in 2018 . . . the reason we’re slowly lifting the production is because the grade just steps up gently — 0.2 gram per tonne — and the costs come down to US$600 to US$650. We’ll stay above 650,000 oz. a year until 2021 at Loulo–Gounkoto. We only start getting to the reserve grade at about 2023.

On making money

We make money at US$1,000 an oz., because we plan to make money at US$1,000 an oz. and always have. We use US$1,000 per oz. to allocate capital . . . at US$1,300 per oz. . . . we should have US$1.8 billion in the bank [by the end of 2018]. So we’re very profitable at US$1,300 per oz. At US$1,000 per oz. — after capital, and assuming we continue to pay dividends at the current dividend rate — we should have about US$380 million in the bank [by the end of 2018].

On access to capital

We have a US$200-million facility. We haven’t drawn in it because we got over our peak funding without having to draw on it, but it’s a nice backstop to be able to manage the current situation without having to be held ransom by the market . . . back in 1999–2000, you’ll remember we were the only company that didn’t issue equity under stress. And already we’ve seen the first round of stressed paper issues, and this time, all of our key shareholders are resource-fund managers that don’t have money to invest in equity, and it’s a big focus for us to make sure that we are well-positioned to manage our

nies. There are a lot of shit companies in this industry.

On political risk in West Africa

This is always a topic I have to deal with, but I tell people that if you’re going to invest in a gold stock, the biggest single risk you face is management, not geopolitical risk.

Every one that has been running around saying the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, no risk, look at where we are — Alaska, North America — and look at what’s happened to . . . businesses. And we are sitting in undoubtedly high-risk places, but we manage it differently.

Looking at the specific risk, everyone is now all friendly towards Mali. Mali now has got an elected government, it’s a completely different risk to last year where it was a nominated government . . . now you’ve got a government in place, and they’re all great guys, fantastic.

The president is a great guy, and he was actually the prime minister when I first went to Mali 17 years ago. But it’s a different dynamic now because they are elected politicians and back in power, so the wheelings and dealings are different. There’s a lot of money in Mali, which helps, because of the United Nations. It’s a small economy. The biggest risk in Mali is that the economy really collapsed, and it’s not a robust economy, so a lot of people are out of work. There are a lot of illegal people in the country, because the borders opened up over the last two years through the crisis, and there’s a lot of work being done to try to get things back to normal.

Ivory Coast is probably one of our best countries now. It’s gone a long way from the Civil War. The new government is a competent

government, it’s an engaging government. We had this incident where the minister of mines got a bee in his bonnet and announced a windfall tax of 50%, and tried to ram it through parliament. That was a year ago. We’re now at the stage of signing off on a mining code that looks pretty good. It certainly will put Ivory Coast in the best mining-code category in Africa. The engagement has been constructive and really intellectual. The risk in Ivory Coast remains the dissent between the ruling party or the ruling government and the main party, which Laurent Gbagbo represented in the trial at the Hague. So what they haven’t done properly and what needs to be worked on harder is the whole reconciliation initiative from the north and south. So it’s a different risk, you have to manage it carefully. We’re in the north.

And even the northerners believe they haven’t gotten enough out of it, and they fought the war. So there’s a constant nation-building exercise that needs to be put in place. It is happening, but it’s slow.

The positive thing is that gross domestic product grew at 9% last year, which is excellent. I mean, it’s off a low base, but it’s significant.

We’ve made huge inroads in DRC. We are dealing with a mining-code debate, it’s a big challenge in DRC because it’s so dynamic a country . . . the real issue in the DRC is that 90% of the miners in the country are not part of the mining code. They don’t operate under the law, and they don’t contribute to the treasury. It’s always interested me down in Katanga, in the copper belt. Why people can’t make money at 3.5%? Well, you go down there and you see why. It’s a mess. Every one is stealing from everyone. Everyone extorts everyone, from the government to the local community to the investors.

But the shining light there is Freeport. It’s demonstrated what you can do in an industry when you’re a real company running a real business. And it is definitely making a big contribution. So if you look at the Glencore business, you look at the Freeport business, you look at our business — those are three key visible and transparent businesses, and so parliament is saying that there is an empathy to revising the mining code, because there is no money coming into the treasury.

And we’re saying: If you revise the mining code you’ll kill the country, and you still won’t get any money in the treasury because you’re not capturing the people. And that debate is raging right now, it’s a real debate . . . what’s interesting is that there’s a new cabinet coming, a new government. There’s been big pressure put on Kabila to change the cabinet from parliament, from his own coalition, and he’s been working on it now for a couple of weeks.

So the whole country is paralyzed.

Everyone said there were to be no major decisions made until it is sorted out. There are a lot of things in the air, all over the place. But the positive thing is that the government has appointed World Bank finance advisors as independent advisors. They have their own advisors, they’ve retained their own legal counsel and they’ve got external advisors, and the engagement is transparent. It’s really pretty robust. And I’ve met and do continually meet with the senior executives of government, and also the senate president and the parliamentary president, who are responsible for See RANDGOLD, Page 15

THE NORTHERN MINER JANUARY 20-26, 2014 15

Pan American Silver commits to US$80M expansion at La Colorada VANCOUVER — Pan American Silver (TSX: PAA; NASDAQ: PAAS) is ready to take its La Colorada polymetallic mine in the Chalchihuites district in Mexico’s Zacatecas State to the next level, after a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) proposed boosting the mine’s silver production by 64% over the next four years.

La Colorada’s expansion would involve building mine infrastructure, developing new mining zones to reach deeper, highergrade ore and expanding its sulphide ore-processing plant. Pan American based its PEA on a reserve-and-resource statement at La Colorada from December 2012.

2015, after underground development around the shaft bottom, with commissioning scheduled for late 2016.

Daily throughput rates at La Colorada would gradually rise from 1,250 tonnes to 1,800 tonnes by 2018.

Pan American ­produces doré bars from its oxide ore using a conventional cyanide-leach circuit, while sulphide ore is processed through a flotation plant that produces silver-rich lead and zinc concentrates. The expansion will focus on the sulphide plant, which will be upgraded with a new crusher and grinding mill.

President and CEO Geoff Burns noted in a release that La Colorada is set to become Pan American’s

Daily throughput rates at La Colorada would increase from 1,250 to 1,800 tonnes by 2018.

The mine hosts proven and probable reserves totalling 5.1 million tonnes grading 393 grams silver per tonne, 0.41 gram gold per tonne, 2.84% zinc and 1.53% lead.

Indicated resources tack on 2 million tonnes averaging 268 grams silver, 0.32 gram gold, 0.76% zinc and 0.49% lead.

A 600-metre shaft will be built between the main Candelaria area — which contains La Colorada’s NC2 and HW veins — and the Estrella area that hosts the Amolillo vein. Construction on the shaft expansion is expected to start in early

largest silver producer, and that the expansion plan carries “low risk” and “considerable economic potential at today’s silver prices.”

The expanded operation will have 10-year life, and require 100 mining personnel.

The mine is slated to produce 7.7 million oz. silver annually by 2018, with estimated cash costs falling by 39% over the period to US$6.10 per oz., net of by-product credits. According to production guidance La Colorada is expected to crank out 4.7 million oz. silver in 2013, at cash costs of US$10 per oz.

Assuming a US$19 per oz. silver price, Pan American’s expansion carries an after-tax net present value (NPV) of US$39 million at a 10% discount rate, with an internal rate of return (IRR) estimated at 22% and a 2.5-year capital payback period. If silver prices are US$25 per oz., the NPV increases to US$72 million, while the IRR jumps to 32% with a twoyear payback period. The base case also assumes US$1,200 per oz. gold, US84¢ per lb. zinc, US95¢ per lb. lead and US$3.17 per lb. copper.

BMO Capital Markets analyst Andrew Kaip describes La Colorada as “a bright spot set against bleak metal prices,” and revised his target price on Pan American from $11.50 to $10 per share, due to an 8% drop in silver prices since BMO’s last valuation.

On Dec. 19, Kaip wrote that Pan American’s production profile is declining “notwithstanding the La Colorada expansion.” He adds that “a below-average IRR for [the company] reflects sensitivity to low metal prices.”

Pan American shares have traded within a 52-week window of $10.18 and $18.99, and closed down 11¢ at $11.70 following its La Colorada release. At press time shares traded at $13.42 apiece.

The company has 151 million shares outstanding for a $2-billion market capitalization, and reported a US$208-million cash balance at the end of September, after making US$34 million in operational earnings during the third quarter.

signing in any change in law. Our big focus at the moment is that we have stability agreements in the DRC, and we want them enforced.

That’s the first step in our engagement with them. But it’s dynamic.

On reinforcing agreements

You have to keep reinforcing these things, otherwise you end up like some of the big mining companies here in North and South America, where you just get rolled over. You can’t do that. We’re robust in our defense of our agreements. In Ivory Coast we stopped the legislation in mid-stream. We sent it back. And we do that. We’re not shy. We’re big players in these economies and we behave like a corporate citizen, we go and bash the tables with government. Otherwise, you just get rolled over. In Africa particularly, and I’ve watched it in South America. The debate starts and the industry is too scared to get involved, and before you know it, the debate has left you behind and you’ve got a new set of legislation, and you haven’t even been consulted. We make a big noise. We call press conferences. I have a quarterly press conference in Kinshasa, an open afternoon, where now even the ministers come, and we discuss Kibali in an open forum. And I do it every quarter in the Ivory Coast . . . in Mali we do it every six months.

Just to keep Randgold’s investment and profile in the headlights, as far as all the local press goes.

We do it all the time — keep that visibility, or otherwise people for-

TNM Jan 20 2014_Front Section.indd 15

get about it. And a lot of times you’ll see politicians deal with us sleight of hand because the view of the Joe Blow is that we just come in there, mine the gold, ship it out and take all the money. So there is a constant re-education of people.

You’ve got to do it, because the government won’t say it. I remember going to the president of Mali one time and saying to the president: “Look, you know how much money we pay you every quarter, it’s 20% of your budget. Are you going to tell the people in Mali or am I going to do it? Who is going to tell the truth, because your guys are suggesting we don’t make a contribution.” And he said, no, he would do it, and he did.

Under Mali’s mining codes, every investment is a convention, which is a law in itself, so you can’t change it. We still operate under the 1991 code. There are two subsequent mining codes since we invested, and most of our permits we have are still under the old 1991 code. We’ve encouraged them to go back to the 1991 code, because they have had no new investments since then.

On doing things differently

We do things counter-cyclical to the industry. The industry has always expanded in the peaks and gone bust in the troughs, and it’s certainly true to form now. And we try to do it the other way around, so this is the time we really step up. Our biggest competitors in a bull market are the juniors, because they get under our feet. Because we need ground to

be successful in our strategy of building our own portfolio. So right now we’re having a field day with the juniors, consolidating our footprints in our chosen areas.

And again, we look after all our shareholders, because most of our shareholders are invested in the juniors too. So we give them a double chance.

On exploration

We have four legs to our exploration strategy: the Mako belt in Senegal, Western Mali, the whole of the Ivory Coast, and northeastern DRC . . . Ivory Coast is our priority exploration focus . . . we’ve spent US$50 million a year since the year dot, and we have found five world-class deposits, of which four we’ve built. And we’re the most successful on this planet. But you don’t know you’ve found something until you drill it, and the one thing that’s for sure is that you don’t have to drill a second hole. When you hit these world-class deposits, like Gounkoto, on the first hole you heard us say “We’ve got something.” We drilled two holes, a kilometre apart, hit the same orebody, and you know it’s there.

I always say it’s like hunting buffalo. When you see that big buffalo, you don’t pick the binoculars up and have a look at it, you just shoot it. It’s the same thing in exploration. The key is that it’s a numbers game. We have between 100 and 150 targets in our portfolio at all times, and we turn over about 50 to 60 a year.

Lucara reports major increase in Karowe resource valuation VANCOUVER — Lucara Diamond (TSX: LUC; TSXV: LUC; US-OTC: LUCRF) has made headlines over the past year with the size and quality of stones it has unearthed at its Karowe mine in Botswana’s Orapa–Letlhakane kimberlite field, and on Dec. 20 the company finally quantified the impact these sizable diamond tenders are having on its project valuation. According to president and CEO William Lamb, the value of Karowe’s in-situ diamond resources has risen by US$1.2 billion since mining began in April 2012.

Lucara’s updated resource is highlighted by recoverable indicated mineral resources — assuming a 1.25 mm bottom cut-off size — of 46.2 million tonnes, at an average grade of 16 carats per hundred tonne, with an average modelled diamond value of US$394 per carat.

Inferred resources add 21 million tonnes at an average grade of 14 carats per hundred tonne, with an average modelled diamond value of US$412 per carat.

diamonds larger than 10.8 carats have been recovered.

Lucara announced 2013 diamond sales and revenue of 438,000 carats and US$180 million.

The company also announced the sale of a bulk-sample plant at its 75%-owned Mothae project to a subsidiary of Paragon Diamonds (LSE: PRG). Lucara owns 75% of the diamond project, which is located in the Maluti Mountains of Lesotho.

Paragon would pay US$1.2 million for the equipment, including US$250,000 in cash and US$900,000 in shares. By removing the plant, Lucara could expand Mothae’s pit and make room for larger processing equipment for future development.

BMO Capital Markets analyst Edward Sterck — who maintains a “market perform” rating on Lucara, along with a $1.70-per-share price target — notes that the diamond value of US$399 per carat is broadly in line with BMO research’s life-of-mine forecast of

Lucara sold 438,000 carats in 2013 for revenues totalling US$180 million.

Lamb noted that the increase is mostly driven by the large, high-quality stones that Lucara recovered from Karowe’s south and centre lobes. In 2013 the company sold 23 diamonds worth over US$1 million, including nine diamonds valued at more than US$3 million each.

Since operations began, Lucara has mined over 5.5 million tonnes of kimberlite, with 3.46 million tonnes processed through its plant. The company has recovered and sold just over 690,000 carats, which equates to US$254 million in diamonds.

“People start to ask the question: ‘Do we expect these trends to continue?’” Lamb commented during a conference call. “As we mine more material from the centre and south lobes, we’re getting confirmation on a weekly basis of the recovery of these large and exceptional stones.

The diamond distribution is significantly coarser.”

The company notes that the updated resource estimate is supported by special diamonds, with more than 70 stones larger than 10.8 carats recovered to date in December. Since mining started in the centre and south lobes in March, more than 600

US$390 per carat.

“The resource update provides increased confidence in Lucara’s outlook, and suggests that the lifeof-mine could be extended with a deeper open pit, capturing more of the resource,” Sterck writes in a Dec. 20 research update, citing that Karowe’s updated global resource contains 10.5 million carats, which is much larger than its production forecast of 5.8 million carats.

“We have a sandstone layer between 240 and 280 metres down — it means there is a significant weakness towards the bottom of the pit,” Lamb commented when asked about pit expansion. “So we would have to have much higher diamond values to proceed. I think in a couple years’ time we may look at the opportunity for underground development, but we don’t foresee an expansion in the current plan.”

Lucara shares have traded within a 52-week window of 50¢ to $1.69.

The company saw 1.4 million shares traded after its resource update, fuelling a gain of 11%, or 16¢, en route to a $1.58-per-share close at press time. Lucara has 379 million shares outstanding for a $578-million market capitalization.

ITH names new CEO, cuts staff to lower costs Vancouver-based International Tower Hill Mines (TSX: ITH; NYSE-MKT: THM) is shuffling its senior management while trimming its workforce, to conserve cash while advancing its rather expensive Livengood gold project near Fairbanks, Alaska.

As part of the shakeup, Thomas Irwin, the company’s current vicepresident, is replacing president and CEO Don Ewigleben. Ewigleben steps down from the board along with three other directors.

Irwin has been contributing to Tower Hill’s corporate development and is in charge of technical matters at Livengood. Before becoming Tower Hill’s vice-president in August 2012, he held various positions, including the Alaska general manager for Livengood, the commissioner of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, and senior roles at Kinross Gold’s (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) Fort Knox gold mine, 72 km southeast of Livengood.

“With the benefit of my long his-

tory in Alaska, I am confident the region remains one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world, and I believe in Livengood as a worldclass, multi-million ounce gold project,” Irwin said in a release.

The project — estimated to cost nearly US$2.8 billion to build — hosts reserves of 10 million oz. from 454 million tonnes grading 0.68 gram gold per tonne, but the possibility of mining those ounces with the current US$1,200 gold price is far-fetched. A July 2013 feasibility study — envisioning Livengood as a 100,000-ton-perday (91,000-tonne-per-day) openpit operation producing 8 million oz. gold over its 14-year mine life — showed a bleak rate of return for the project, even using a threeyear trailing gold price of US$1,500 per oz. At that price, Livengood had a 1.7% after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) and a negative US$440 million net present value (NPV) at a 5% discount rate. It’s only after applying a US$1,700 per oz. gold price that the NPV and IRR

become positive, at US$336 million and 7.3%.

The gold explorer is optimizing the project and hopes to move it forward with a joint-venture partner, adding that discussions with interested companies are progressing.

But BMO analyst John Hayes is skeptical that Tower Hill can lower the project’s costs. “The company is evaluating plans for a revised development scenario, but it remains to be seen if a smaller capex project can advance,” he wrote in a year-end note. Hayes has a 41¢ target and an “underperform speculative” rating on the stock.

Along with the corporate reorganization, Tower Hill will slash its workforce by 30% on Jan. 1 to rein in costs. It had US$16.6 million in cash and equivalents at the end of September 2013.

Tower Hill closed at 40¢ within a 52-week range of 31¢ to $2.48. It has 98 million shares outstanding.

GoGold ups offer, bids for all of Animas

ANIMAS RESOURCES

Core samples on display at Animas Resources’ Santa Gertrudis gold project in Sonora, Mexico.

GoGold Resources (TSX: GGD; TSXV: GGD) has upped the ante for A nimas Resources ( TSXV:

ANI) by intending to make a friendly bid to buy the Vancouver-based firm, and not just its Santa Gertrudis gold project in Mexico, beating Marlin Gold Mining’s (TSXV: MLN; USOTC: MLNGF) offer.

Halifax-based GoGold plans to provide Animas’ shareholders 7¢ in cash and 0.0851 of its share for each Animas share held. This implies a 15¢ value to each Animas share, or an 87.5% premium, based on both companies’ closing prices on Dec. 24, 2013. GoGold also aims to acquire all of Animas’ warrants by offering one GoGold share for each 94¢ of in-themoney value of the Animas warrants.

This proposal replaces GoGold’s earlier offer to buy Animas’ subsidiaries that held the Santa Gertrudis project. Notably, it allows GoGold to own 100% of the property while eliminating the royalties it would have had to pay under the previous projectpurchase agreement, GoGold’s CEO Terry Coughlan explains in a statement.

As part of the deal, GoGold would receive Animas’ 270 sq. km Desierto exploration project, also in Mexico’s Sonora state.

For Animas shareholders, the bid provides “significant and immediate value for their shares,” Coughlan adds. Moreover, Animas’ shareholders could participate in developing the Santa Gertrudis project and the upside of GoGold’s Parral silver–gold project, expected to start production in early 2014.

GoGold has entered lock-up agreements with Animas shareholders holding 42 million shares, or 58.7% of the company.

In a separate release, Animas’ CEO Mark Brown said he’s aware of the lock-up agreements and noted his board unanimously agreed to support the takeover, urging shareholders to dismiss the inferior 10¢-per-share offer that Marlin Gold announced on Dec. 23.

GoGold plans to mail the offer and takeover bid circular to Animas shareholders by Jan. 28, 2014, and has deposited $1 million in escrow. This amount will be paid to Animas if the offer isn’t mailed in time and under other circumstances.

The deal requires approval from at least two-thirds of Animas’ shareholders.

A world of opportunity Message from Peter Legein, Legein Consulting Inc., and Chair, 2014 Convention Planning Committee, Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada The world’s largest exploration and development convention is coming to Toronto this March. The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada’s (PDAC) International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange offers a broad spectrum of Technical Sessions, Short Courses and networking events. With over 30,000 attendees, the PDAC 2014 Convention promises to provide a world of opportunities for attendees to learn about the latest trends, technologies and personalities shaping the mineral exploration and mining sector.

At the Investors Exchange, over 540 companies will promote their exploration and development opportunities to potential investors to raise the financial resources needed to discover and develop the mineral deposits of the future, while at the Trade Show over 400 suppliers of services and products provide explorers the materials and services they need to enable the mineral discovery and development of future mines.

In addition to the Investors Exchange and Trade Show, there will be 19 Technical Sessions, 60 Core Shack displays, 13 Short Courses and Workshops held before, during and after the convention.

The Technical Sessions begin Sunday afternoon, and cover three topics: Commodities and Market Outlook, Maximizing Company Profits and Growth by Acquisition, and Current Developments in Financial Markets and Public Disclosure.

On Monday morning, March 3, a variety of Technical Sessions will take place, including the Keynote Session: Sharing Mineral Wealth, as well as on Geometallurgy and Investment in BRIC countries.

Sessions on Wealth in Weathered Rocks, Diamonds and Mineral Economics will be held in the afternoon following the Mineral Outlook Luncheon where Ned Goodman will discuss the Capital Rebound: How, where and when will it come back?

Technical Sessions on Tuesday morning, March 4, feature morning sessions on Peruvian Copper Deposits and Jackpot at 2200 Ma West Africa, while afternoon programs will focus on Abitibi Breaks, Geophysics and Zinc following the Panel Luncheon. The luncheon, moderated by PDAC President Glenn Nolan, features Bob Rae, Josh Hjartarson and the

Honourable Michael Gravelle who will discuss Advancing the Ring of Fire – What has to happen to move it forward? This panel will examine the future of the region, its complexities, and existing barriers to development.

On Wednesday morning, March 5, Technical Sessions include South Africa and its Mines, Alternative Financing Sources for Junior Resource Companies, along with Specialty Metals and Industrial Minerals and New discoveries and Developments.

The PDAC has also organized a number of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Aboriginal, Capital Markets and Student programs throughout the entire

duration of the convention that are must-attend events.

Once the sun goes down there are a large number of social and networking events. Many of these events are extremely popular and it is always a good idea to book your tickets when you pre-register.

On behalf of the PDAC, I would like to thank our Diamond sponsor, Teck Resources Limited; our Platinum sponsors Barrick Gold Corporation, IBK Capital Corp. and Goldcorp Inc.; and our Patron sponsors Vale Canada Limited, Ernst & Young, PwC and TMX Group. For the first time, a Mining Country sponsorship opportunity has been developed, and PDAC is pleased to announce that Peru

has become the first and exclusive Mining Country Sponsor of the PDAC 2014 Convention.

The PDAC 2014 Convention will be defined by the depth and breadth of the thousands of participants who come from all continents representing thousands of companies and organizations involved in the exploration, discovery and development of mineral wealth. The collective knowledge and experience of the community that will be present at PDAC 2014 is by far the biggest attraction of the convention. I invite you to come and take part in the largest annual mineral exploration and mining event in the world.

You will meet representatives from Greenlandic exploration projects

Room 206BA 2:00 – 6:00 pm Gain insight into how Canadian corporations, consultants and businesses are able to enhance returns to investors by generating growth through their non-Canadian based operations.

With proper planning, Canadians can structure their non-Canadian

businesses to achieve a reduction in costs and other “leakage” so as to return nearly all trading profits to Canada. The Tax Information Exchange Agreement (“TIEA”) between the Government of Canada and the Cayman Islands, and what it means for Canadian businesses, will be discussed. How to structure a venture to maximize the benefits under the TIEA will also be described, as well as opportunities for financing structures and intellectual property licence fees, royalties, etc.

Sometimes it may be necessary to locate personnel outside of Canada to oversee non-Canadian operations.

Historically, such relocations have been prohibitively expensive and an immigration nightmare. Cayman Enterprise City (CEC), an awardwinning knowledge-based special economic zone based in the Cayman Islands, changes all that. With ten business days’ business licensing, turnkey office and immigration solutions, what once was expensive or not possible can now be easily achieved. The

as geoscientists, mining engineers, managers and skilled workmen.

The country has abundant reserves of key minerals such as iron ore, bauxite, dolomite, gypsum, limestone, mica and adequate reserves of chromite, manganese, zinc and graphite. Kerala beach sands are rich in atomic minerals.

India produces 87 minerals, which include four fuel, ten metallic, 47 non-metalic, three atomic and 23 minor minerals.

There is a consensus in the mining sector that import of technology and equipment is required in various sub sectors such as mineral extraction, processing, mine safety and pollution control monitoring. Joint ventures are commonly ideal for such technology transfers. Greater R&D efforts need to be made to achieve technology adoption, adaptation and assimilation, particularly to suit Indian conditions.

Incredible India offers investment opportunities for investment in the booming mining and mineral sector. India has a long heritage of exploration and exploitation of minerals with vast geological potential.

PDAC 2014 Convention

THE NORTHERN MINER JANUARY 20-26, 2014 B7

SHORT COURSES AND WORKSHOPS Space is limited. Register early to avoid disappointment. You do not need to be a registered convention attendee or a PDAC member to attend these courses. All Short Courses will take place at the MTCC, South Building. The Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (APGO) considers participation by its members in these courses as acceptable Continuing Professional Development activities. Early and regular rates vary.

Visit http://www.pdac.ca/convention/program/short-courses for further information including availability for students.

1. EXPLORATION GEOCHEMISTRY: EXTRACTING KNOWLEDGE FROM DATA Friday, February 28 8:00 am- 4:00 pm Organizer: Reflex Geochemistry (ioGlobal) This course provides attendees with techniques to interpret their geochemical data effectively, by extracting knowledge about geochemical and geological processes and their controls on the distribution of elements in rocks, soils and other sample media.

Industry and government bodies spend considerable resources to acquire geochemical data that can yield a great deal of information when used to their full potential. However, these datasets often receive only a cursory appraisal focused on recognizing first-order anomalies, due to a lack of time or appropriate skills to effectively interrogate the data. Geochemical processes and controls can cause secondary element enrichments in the surface environment, which are often not recognized as such, leading to fruitless expenditure on “false anomalies” while more subtle anomalies that are actually related to mineralization can be missed.

The geochemical data themselves can pose another challenge. Many datasets consist of multiple generations of data and may include data from multiple labs and multiple analytical methods.

The complexity of such datasets, combined with inadequate appraisal, can lead to severe interpretation errors or the application of inappropriate techniques for data analysis.

Recognition of these issues and the use of proper data-analysis techniques can ensure confidence in the results and maximize the value extracted from your data.

This day-long course is designed for anyone who works with geochemical data at any stage from exploration through to planning and production.

Key concepts include: 1. Fit-for purpose data and assessing the impact of data quality on interpretation 2. The application and benefits of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to determine geochemical trends and identify clusters and outliers 3. Univariate through multivariate statistical techniques applied to geochemistry 4. Advanced data interpretation including: data levelling, regressions, principal component analysis, canonical variate analysis, decision trees, cluster analysis, etc.

5. Illustration of these techniques using real-world examples and case studies

2. HEALTH AND SAFETY IN MINERAL EXPLORATION Friday, February 28 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Organizer: Bill Mercer, Exploration Avalon Rare Metals Inc.

they can understand the following: • What the typical risks are in mineral exploration • Completion of an elementary risk assessment of a task • Investigation an accident • Collection, compilation and understanding of health and safety statistics • At a high level, how health and safety can and should be administered • What the special risks are around drilling (accidents) and helicopters (fatalities) The participants, if from a small company, will have enough information to start a health and safety (H&S) program, if such does not exist. If from a larger company, they will understand better what the company program is attempting to achieve, and also, some specific technicalities of risks around drilling and helicopters. The course is targeted

at those active in mineral exploration in the field, though management aspects of H&S will also be covered.

3. UNDERSTANDING AND RUNNING AN EFFECTIVE QA/QC PROGRAM Friday, February 28 9:00 am - 4:30 pm Organizer: Todd McCracken, WSP Canada Inc. Your project has a QA/QC program, but is it effective and does it meet the standards of best industry practice?

This full-day course examines various components of an effective QA/QC program, and will concentrate on how to setup and run a program in the real world.

Topics will include databases management, drill programs (RC and diamond drill core), core logging, and

an in-depth look at analytical QA/QC, including how to select a laboratory and the use of Blanks, Duplicates and Standards in the program.

Real examples of effective programs will be presented to the group with an active discussion on what should be considered minimum requirements.

Tricks of the trade and cost effective solutions will be presented throughout the course. Participants will be encouraged to engage in discussions throughout the course.

4. EXPLORATION IN DEEPLY WEATHERED TERRAINS: BASIC TO ADVANCED CONCEPTS AND PRAGMATIC TECHNIQUES Friday, February 28 & Saturday, March 1

8:30 am - 5:00 pm Organizer: SEG and Simon Bolster, Gryphon Minerals Limited Effective mineral exploration in regolith dominated terrains, where bedrock can be deeply weathered, masked beneath soil, lateritic weathering profiles or transported overburden requires different techniques and approaches compared to, for example, exploration in mountainous terrain or the tundra. Geologists and exploration managers frequently face considerable challenges when they explore regolith dominated terrains, especially if they were trained in temperate areas of the world. Frequently asked questions are: What should we sample? What depth should we sample? What is the optimum sample density? How do we map the geology and regolith? How do we interpret the geochemistry?

MINING IN CENTRAL ASIA KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN AND TAJIKISTAN MINERAL RESOURCES Room 205DC 2:00 – 6:00 pm The Central Asian Countries derive

most of their export earnings and government revenue from their natural resources, and the mining industry plays an important role even at a world scale. Mineral products account for ⅓ - ½ of national GDPs from exports of gold (especially in Kyrgyzstan), ferrochrome (Kazakhstan), copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, tantalum, uranium, mercury and antimony. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan intend to redefine their role both in the CIS and Asian markets by developing their mineral and energy resource potential as part of their national economies.

This seminar will give information about mineral resources, mining and mining legislation in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. As a result of a joint project between the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and the geological surveys in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, a geoportal (www.cacgeoportal.org) has been established which gives more information about mineral resources in the three CA countries.

THE MINERAL RESOURCES VALUEADDED CHAIN: MORE EFFICIENCY WITH GERMAN TECHNOLOGY GERMAN MINERAL RESOURCES AGENCY, DEUTSCHE ROHSTOFFAGENTUR (DERA) Room 206BA 2:00 – 9:00 pm Germany is one of the main producing and exporting countries of the world. It is a net importer of mineral resources and its industry relies on the availability of commodities at reasonable prices.

The Canadian mineral resources market offers mutual opportunities for Germany’s security of longterm resource supply and Canada’s need for technical mining solutions and special services for the mining industry. These topics are reflected

in the presentations of the German companies and organization. Please join us for a series of presentations and key notes on Germany’s global expertise in mining technologies.

Networking opportunities will be provided, especially at the reception directly after the presentations.

2:00 – 2:20 pm: Welcome & introduction 2:20 – 3:20 pm: Germany’s mineral resources strategy In 2010 the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology launched a resource strategy, including a program to support German companies participating in mining projects.

3:35 – 4:35 pm: Mining expertise made in Germany Germany’s mining equipment manufacturers and engineering companies are known worldwide for their quality products and services as well as their innovations in mining technology. Most (92%) of Germany’s mining supply production is exported to markets around the world with an average annual growth of about 13%. The key success factors of the branch are its focus on research and development (R&D) and Germany’s very long tradition in mining.

4:50 – 6:00 pm: Efficiency in mineral processing The mining and resource industry is facing decreasing discovery rates and ore grades as well as more complex ores. This challenge requires a fundamental understanding of the composition of orebodies and reasonable processing strategies. A substantial approach is the concept of “adaptive mineral processing”, a key feature of German industry and research organizations.

sector in a country that welcomes foreign investment.

With a resource base that includes iron ore, copper, gypsum, phosphate, quartz and gold, and the potential for uranium and diamonds, Mauritania has a huge mineral potential. The mining industry is an important player in Mauritania’s economic future.

The mining industry has experienced significant growth in recent years with the number of exploration permits rising from 127 in 2008 to 293 in 2012. In that same period mining revenues in Mauritania more than doubled. The country has so far attracted significant investments by major multinationals such as First Quantum, Kinross Gold and Xstrata, and is positioned for continued expansion in the years ahead.

The country has a modern and competitive mining law, and a supportive tax policy and regulatory environment, which offer investment protection, access to international arbitration, and the potential to establish special economic zones.

Moreover, Mauritania is building the infrastructure - port facilities, power generation and transmission capacity, and transportation network - that is essential for the industrial growth.

Take advantage of this chance to meet senior officials from Mauritania’s Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mines as they discuss the future of the industry, the country’s mineral potential and the opportunities it offers.

All are welcome. Registration is not required.

SHORT COURSES AND WORKSHOPS SHORT COURSES, From Page B7

anomalous? What remote sensing or drilling techniques should we use?

Over the last 30 years a considerable amount of research has been completed

by CSIRO / CRC LEME in Australia to document, study and understand commonly encountered regolith exploration issues. Contemporaneously there have been advances within the exploration industry to tackle the regolith factor resulting in pragmatic techniques and systems being developed.

The short course is intended for exploration geologists, geochemists and managers.

It will involve a combination of lectures and practical sessions by highly renowned and respected industry practitioners and researchers with combined experience in excess of 90 years. The course is intended to introduce and advance ideas rarely taught elsewhere so that attendees can leave with fresh ideas and skills that will assist in tackling problems often encountered when exploring regolith dominated terrains. The workshop will draw upon examples and data from Australia, Africa and South America backed up by a wealth of field experience and knowledge.

5. SIGNIFICANT DEPOSITS OF METALS WITH EMPHASIS ON NEW TYPES AND FUTURE OUTLOOK Friday, February 28 & Saturday, March 1 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Organizer: Peter Laznicka, Consultant & Adelaide University Most significant mineral discoveries have been made using the time-tested technique of looking for analogues of known major deposits (the look-alikes of Sig Muessig), in permissible setting.

This technique will be with us at least throughout this century and many new developments will be at, near, or below earlier mines, prospects or showings although a significant number of new

discoveries will be in the greenfield setting and increasingly under cover.

Despite the ever more sophisticated exploration instrumentation and models, success will still rest on “geologist’s ability to recognize new opportunity” (Sillitoe, 2010). It thus makes sense to review, from time to time, the factual knowledge about the significant (especially giant and worldclass) metallic deposits, especially how they look, what the visual indicators of ore presence in the field and in drill core are, where they are, how they have been found, and where to look for possible equivalents and also for hitherto unrecognized ore types.

This course will, in six 90-120 minute sessions, review the significant deposits of Fe-Mn, Au, Cu, Ni (Cr, PGE), PbZn-Ag, U-Th and IOCG, and the “new technology” group of Li, REE and Ta-Nb. Their geotectonic setting will be summarized, each day, in two 30-minute lectures: devoted, in the first day, to the oceanic-continental margin setting, and in the second day to intracratonic settings. Each day will end up with 60 minutes of questions and answers and a discussion session, or, if the participants so prefer, by one hour of “Silver in depth” and “Fringe and lesser metals: Sb,As,Hg,Te” lectures.

This course targets geologists, exploration and mining practitioners, managers and investors and follows the “eyewitness” approach supported by on-site experience at ~3,500 deposits in ~85 countries.

6. NOVEL APPLICATIONS OF BOREHOLE IMAGING TECHNOLOGY: TECHNIQUES FOR ACQUISITION AND INTERPRETATION

This one-day short course will provide geologists, engineers and project managers with the confidence to implement in-situ methods for data acquisition, interpretation and application along with successful workflow integration for structural, resource, geotechnical, construction and environmental mining projects.

It will also provide insight for all participants including consulting and engineering firms into the latest techniques, technology and applications for borehole imaging.

Calipers, borehole cameras, acoustic and optical televiewers and the latest technologies for measuring and imaging mining boreholes will be examined as these provide a unique opportunity to visualize, orient and measure borehole features in situ while under naturally occurring pressure, temperature, hydrogeological constraints and stress conditions, independent of core recovery.

The course will expose participants to the expanding uses of the technology including field data acquisition, data interpretation and cost saving applications through case studies and exercises by leading mining companies, service providers and engineering firms.

Participants will learn how to acquire and how to interpret the borehole imaging data, by learning the methods, applications and value provided at all phases from exploration through to mine development.

They will experience the latest real-world applications with technical relevance; as well as the potential for quicker project advancement and cost savings.

Please note that borehole techniques examining formational response are not included in this short course.

Saturday, March 1 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Organizer: DGI Geoscience Inc. Chair: Vince Gerrie, DGI Geoscience Inc.

7. PRIMARY DIAMOND DEPOSITS: INFORMATION REQUIRED TO SUPPORT ROBUST BUSINESS

DECISIONS RELATED TO PROJECT ACQUISITION AND INVESTMENT Saturday, March 1 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Organizer: SRK Consulting and Friends Many opportunities currently exist for the acquisition of diamond properties globally. These include projects ranging from early stage exploration plays with limited data to projects with classified resources waiting to be developed. In addition there are many active and inactive mines that are changing hands. Both the quality and quantity of data associated with these projects are highly variable and, in many cases, incomplete. Evaluating primary diamond deposits for the purpose of acquisition or investment is challenging; however, the next mines are waiting to be discovered, and in some cases rediscovered.

This course is structured to be of interest to senior management teams and those individuals involved in assessing the potential of primary diamond projects.

Rather than presenting detailed technical information related to kimberlites, this session will focus more on summarizing key criteria that must be taken into consideration when reviewing project data. It is assumed that participants will have some background in kimberlite exploration and evaluation.

Topics to be covered will include recent advances in the description, classification and interpretation of primary deposits, as well as the development of the geology models used to guide and direct evaluation and mining of kimberlites. Many of the tools used to discover and evaluate these deposits will be covered, as well as mining methods. The tools covered will include diamond data, geochemistry, sampling, volcanology, structural geology, mantle geology and

8. INVESTMENT FUNDAMENTALS: UNDERSTANDING MINERAL EXPLORATION AND RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP TO COMPANY STOCK PRICES Saturday, March 1 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Organizer: Michael Fowler, Loewen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon Limited First offered in 2006 as an introductory course for junior and mid-capitalization mining investors, the investment fundamentals course is PDAC’s longest running workshop. It now includes a section on the various types of discounted cash flow (DCF) calculations and real option pricing.

The course will appeal to both beginner and experienced investors who want to familiarize themselves with the basics of mineral exploration, resource development and mining techniques, as well as the various quantitative evaluation techniques that can be used to determine the value of a project and its relationship to a company’s stock price.

Improve your investment skills by taking this course which includes presenters from mining companies, consulting firms and the brokerage community.

9. DEVELOPING A CASH FLOW: BEST PRACTICES FOR CONVERTING A MINERAL RESOURCE INTO A MINERAL RESERVE Saturday, March 1 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Sunday, March 2 9:00 am - 12:00 pm Organizer: RPA Inc. and Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Chair: Jason Cox, RPA Inc. Money doesn’t make the world go around, profit does. Cash flow analysis estimates profit and ultimately underpins all development decisions.

Without a positive cash flow analysis, mineral reserves do not exist. It is what distinguishes a mineral reserve from a mineral resource and therefore provides a natural footing to discuss the process of converting one to the other.

This course is targeted to management, geologists, engineers, and informed investors.It will be of particular interest for anyone planning an engineering study.

The interactive course covers components of a mining project cash flow, working with the inputs and discussing best practices along the way.

The following will be discussed: • Different levels of engineering studies (scoping, pre-feasibility, feasibility) • Life of mine plan production schedules See SHORT COURSES, Page B17

10. ACCESSING NEW DATA ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES TO MAXIMIZE PROJECT VALUE Sunday, March 2 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Organizer: MICROMINE This course, taught by one of the world’s preeminent authorities on resource estimation and geostatistics, will provide insights into analytical approaches that offer the promise of maximizing value from geological, exploration and mining data. Even though these methods are increasingly being mentioned, they are usually understood only at the level of buzzwords; the practical details are generally not well explained. This one-day workshop will demystify the following methods, providing a clear and practical introduction to how they work, and to their strengths and weaknesses: 1. Recursive partitioning: a method that can be used for identifying geological controls on mineralization; the complex interactions between commonly logged information such as alteration, lithology, structure, mineralogy and texture.

2. Conditional simulation: a method that has value not only for risk analysis, but also for evaluating issues that relate to short-scale variability, such as grade control and blending.

3. Data mining: a group of emerging methods discovering patterns in large data sets using tools from artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and database systems.

4. Neural networks: a method that mimics our understanding of neuron connections in the brain to build predictive models (e.g. of the likelihood of exploration success, or of the

amount of ore-waste misclassification in a producing mine) that continuously adapt the prediction as new input becomes available, and new interconnections between variables are identified.

Participants will explore each idea through case studies and group discussion relating to real-world examples and current practices. This course will benefit all geologists and engineers involved with advanced exploration and resource estimation studies, giving them a good introduction to new methods for learning the right lessons from data acquired during exploration and production. In addition to showcasing the strengths of each method, the course will also explain their weaknesses and discuss why they are sometimes not well suited for certain types of studies.

11. MINERAL DISCLOSURE STANDARDS UNDER NI 43-101 Wednesday, March 5 8:00 - 11:30 am Organizer: Craig Waldie, Ontario Securities Commission and James Whyte, Ontario Securities Commission This informative session will provide participants with an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of technical disclosure for mineral projects under NI 43-101 directly from the regulator. The session is designed to assist mining industry participants such as company officers and directors, investor relations personnel, and qualified persons with improving the technical disclosure reported to investors.

Topics covered will include an overview of disclosure concepts under securities law, NI 43-101 compliance issues and pitfalls, and some of the common areas of non-compliance with technical reports. Recent changes to CIM Definition Standards, which are incorporated into NI 43-101, will be covered along with reviews by the regulator and the frequently observed red flags. An interactive question and answer session will also be included.

Wednesday, March 5 2:00 - 5:00 pm Organizer: Borden Ladner Gervais LLP and GMP Securities L.P. Chairs: Mark Wheeler, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP and Kevin Reed, GMP Securities L.P. Mining issuers have been dealing with capital-anemic conditions for the past two years, and the pain may not be over yet. The TMX Group has reported that the total number of financings raised on the TSX Venture Exchange in January 2013 was down approximately 70% from December 2012 and down approximately 50% from January 2012. Without access to capital, mining companies are forced to slow or halt their exploration and development operations. Without exploration and development progress to report, share prices continue to drop, along with market capitalization.

With no relief in sight, the challenge for mining issuers will be ways of maintaining and/or advancing their projects until market conditions improve. To this end, mining issuers are increasingly turning to alternative and creative financing structures.

This course will include the following topics: • Market overview

THE NORTHERN MINER JANUARY 20-26, 2014 B17

• Current and future sector challenges • Financing trends for mining issuers • Strategic investments: equity financings tied to participation rights in exploration and development properties • Foreign investments: equity investments coupled with offtake agreements • High yield and convertible debt financings • Metal streams and royalties Topics will be addressed from both a financial and a legal perspective.

Emphasis will be placed on practical financing strategies for exploration and development stage companies.

13. DMEC WORKSHOP SERIES: RISK IN EXPLORATION: MEASURING IT AND HOW TO AVOID RUIN Wednesday, March 5 2:00 - 6:00 pm Organizer: Charles Beaudry, Consultant and Ken Witherly, Condor Consulting, Inc. Decennial Mineral Exploration Conferences (DMEC) is an outgrowth of the very successful Exploration 07 symposium held in Toronto (September 2007) that

drew together over 1,300 delegates to review the state of the art in minerals exploration technology. This year’s workshop will be the fourth DMECsponsored event under the theme “tools and techniques to explore undercover”. In the three previous workshops we looked at district-scale issues in Quebec, B.C. and Chile and how a multidisciplinary approach can help to improve exploration success.

This year we turn our focus to the management of risk in mineral exploration from early grassroots exploration to advanced-stage projects.

The formal management of risk has been developed to a high degree in the oil and gas exploration industry compared to the mineral industry. In spite of some early work by Brian McKenzie at Queen’s University in Canada, the science is at a much earlier stage of development.

This workshop will present some more recent developments in this field and will look at the following subjects: • The human factor in mineral exploration risk • Management of risk in the exploration process • Discovery probability mapping using regional geochemical data • Probability mapping using GIS • Real options modeling to value and manage exploration
