merging in July 2013 from an 11-month cease-trade order issued by the B.C. Securities Commission stemming from a questionable resource estimate, Barkerville Gold Mines (TSXV: BGM) was left facing a severe cash crunch with its shovels still dug into a small, operating gold mine called Bonanza Ledge, outside the historic town of Wells, B.C. Spotting the distressed miner, a private, numbered company controlled by global financier Eric Sprott threw Barkerville a lifeline in October 2013, in the form of a $15-million loan that helped the junior resume trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.

By July 2015, Sprott’s company had turned $19.5 million in various loans to Barkerville into a 41.8% stake in the company.

A few months earlier, he and newly appointed Barkverville chairman Greg Gibson turned to Thomas Obradovich — a player in the discovery of the Fruta del Norte gold deposit in Ecuador with Aurelian Resources in 2006 — and asked if he was interested in helping Barkerville get back on its feet.

“I sent up a couple of my own people ... to assess the project and see if it was worth it,” Obradovich told The Northern Miner during a phone interview.

“They both came back saying the same thing: that all aspects of the project were broken down and completely dysfunctional, but it also happened to be one of the best gold deposits they’d ever seen in their careers.”

Knowing that he had something “special,” Obradovich took on the responsibility of president and CEO in January 2015, and cleaned house to form what many in the industry now refer to as “the new BGM.” And it wasn’t an easy task. Obradov-

cuador’s Minister of Mines, Javier Cordova, says his government is close to agreeing to fiscal terms with Lundin Gold (TSX: LUG) with respect to its Fruta del Norte gold project in the country's southeast.

“We expect they will be in production by 2018, and we will get into an agreement with them by the end of this year,” Cordova told The Northern Miner in an exclusive interview at his office in the capital Quito.

ich said the problems at the operation were “glaring” — for instance, the mine operated without a block model and geologists would send the ore 110 km away to the QR mill, without regard for grade control.

“We basically had to revamp the entire company. It was a massive housecleaning, not just on the technical side, but the corporate as well,” he said. “We have recruited a team of talented, seasoned geologists to real-

ize the true value of this prized asset.”

Confident in the property’s quality, Obradovich later brought in a couple of “crackerjack” structural geologists — at times the most critical personnel in the field of earth science — from Talisker Exploration Services, with the intent of attracting an investment from its principal client Osisko Gold Royalties (TSX: OR; US-OTC: OKSKF).

“These guys have looked at hun-

dreds of projects across the world, and by the time they were finished at the Barkerville camp, they were just giddy over it,” he said. “They view it as one of the most premier camps in North America that’s never had a real good run at exploration.”

In July, Osisko formed a strategic partnership with BGM — investing $5 million in flow-through funds to See BARKERVILLE / 2

Barkerville reborn after ‘massive housecleaning’

Barkerville Gold Mines’ Cariboo gold property — which includes the Barkerville Mountain, Cow Mountain and Island Mountain projects — in south-central B.C.

“THERE’S A LOT OF STINK OUT THERE IN THE MINING AND EXPLORATION COMMUNITY ABOUT THIS COMPANY, AND EVERYONE IS QUICK TO GIVE THEIR OPINION. THE COMPANY WE HAVE TODAY ISN’T THE SAME ONE THEY TALK ABOUT. BUT LUCKY FOR US, IT STILL HAS THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL ASSET.” PAUL GEDDES VICE-PRESIDENT OF EXPLORATION, BARKERVILLE GOLD MINES

advance exploration and expand the property’s known resources.

Now debt-free — with $10 million in the bank and three rigs turning at Bonanza Ledge — it’s easy for Obradovich to say that BGM is “back in business,” and driven to under-promise and over-deliver.

The Northern Miner travelled to the historic Cariboo gold district and met with Paul Geddes, the new vicepresident of exploration, to understand what the buzz is all about.

Strolling through the historic town of Barkerville, Geddes explained that the lure for gold in the district began in the early 1860s, and over the camp’s history, placer mining has yielded up to 3 million oz. gold.

Cow Mountain The hunt for the motherlode didn’t start until 1931, when prospector Fred

Wells came off Cow Mountain, 2 km outside Barkerville, and declared he’d found gold in the hills.

But few believed him.

According to historical records, the public in the district responded harshly to what were seen as his overpromotional claims, calling him an “opinionated prospector, devoid of geological knowledge,” with the provincial government refusing him the right to sell stock in B.C. But with help from private financiers and his friends, Wells got the Cariboo Gold Quartz mine into production, and public opinion changed when he strolled into Vancouver with $36,168 worth of gold bullion wired to a packboard on his back.

History would repeat itself in some ways in June 2012, when Frank Callaghan, then-CEO of Barkerville Gold Mines, announced an eyebrow-raising 10.6 million oz. gold resource at Cow Mountain in 69 million indicated

tonnes grading 5.28 grams gold per tonne. The previous Cow Mountain estimate in 2006 reported an indicated resource of just 431,000 oz. gold.

BGM was slapped with a cease-trade order by the B.C. Securities Commission in 2012, effective until the company produced a resource model that met National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards.

Still under Callaghan’s leadership, BGM calculated a revised resource estimate in June 2013 that shrunk the “cow” into a “calf,” with only 1.04 million oz. in 17.7 million indicated tonnes grading 2 grams gold. Inferred resources added 49.2 million tonnes at 2.74 grams gold, for another 3.94 million oz. gold.

As for Cow Mountain’s much-derided “geologic potential” outlined in the June 2012 report, that was also slashed. The old report said the 6.4 km long trend could host 405 million to 684 million tonnes grading 4.11 to 5.49 grams gold, for 65 to 90 million oz. gold. The revised report said the target might host 150 million to 450 million tonnes grading between 2 and 5 grams gold, for a potential gold count of 9 million to 27 million oz.

But by then, the company had already lost much credibility in the markets and the geological community.

“There’s a lot of stink out there in the mining and exploration community about this company, and everyone is quick to give their opinion,” Geddes said. “The company we have today isn’t the same one they talk about.

But lucky for us, it still has the same exceptional asset.”

He added that the Cow resource was updated in March of this year under

completely new leadership, bringing it up to 35.8 million indicated tonnes at 2.4 grams gold for 2.8 million oz. gold, plus 27.5 million inferred tonnes at 2.3 grams gold for 2 million oz. gold, using a 0.5 gram gold cut-off.

But the latest upgrade still isn’t enough to fully restore confidence in the company, Geddes said, explaining that he and the “critics” would rather use a geological model to constrain the resource, instead of the multipleindicator kriging technique that’s commonly used in the industry.

He cautioned that Cow Mountain’s

geology may be too complex to estimate a large resource accurately, which is easy to appreciate when standing alongside a rocky road-cut near the old mine shaft.

The sedimentary rocks that host the ore have been clearly deformed into rod-shaped structures — or mullions — which can vary in size from telegraph poles to walking sticks.

And while Geddes said he and his team are working to define the new model, he has a healthy appreciation for the greater unknown.

“My most daunting task in this job is to stay focused, because there are just so many targets out there,” he said, while driving past a number of outcrops teeming with rusty-looking quartz veins at almost every bend in the road.

Just across the valley are the Island Mountain deposits, where 603,800 oz. gold was mined between 1934 to 1987, at an average grade of 15.4 grams gold per tonne.

Carved into the dense Douglas fir forest, the road eventually leads to the company’s main target of exploration See BARKERVILLE / 13

Kivalliq unveils robust Dipole results DISCOVERY

BY LESLEY STOKES

K

lstokes@northernminer.com

ivalliq Energy’s (TSXV: KIV; US-OTC: KVLQF) hunt for another high-grade uranium deposit at its Angilak property, 350 km west of Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, may well be over, with new assay results that have transformed the company’s Dipole prospect into a discovery.

The first drill holes at the prospect hit mineralized shear zones between 15 to 110 metres deep across a 150-metre strike length at surface, with assays returning 2.3% uranium oxide (U3O8) over 1.3 metres, and from 0.14 to 0.2% U3O8 over 2.1 to 8 metres wide.

Jim Paterson, CEO and director of Kivalliq, says the discovery is identical to the company’s Lac 50 deposit, located 25 km northeast, and is “proofof-concept” that there’s a district-scale opportunity across the 1,000-squarefoot property.

“The purpose of the program was to prove that there’s a much bigger picture at play here,” he tells The Northern Miner at the company’s headquarters in Vancouver. “And we’re getting to the point now where we can call it a district.”

Kivalliq has spent the past few years fine-tuning its exploration criteria by studying the geophysical and geochemical signatures at its Lac 50 deposit, with the hope that it will flag other deposits hidden beneath the northern landscape.

Lac 50 — which is one of the highestgrade uranium resources in the world, outside the prolific Athabasca basin — has an inferred resource of 43.3 million lb. U3O8 at 0.7% U3O8 in 2.8 million tonnes, using a 0.2% U3O8 cut-off.

“We wanted to figure out how to explore for these things,” Paterson says. “So we took what we learned and applied it elsewhere across the property, and found that Dipole lit up as a big high-priority target.”

The nine-hole, maiden drill program centred on a 2 km long, low-frequency electromagnetic survey anomaly that coincides with an open-ended, 3.4 km long uranium-in-soil anomaly.

“When you’re this far north you need to build pounds — but it’s the type of pounds that’s important,” Paterson says. “We’re after shallow, high-grade material over broad intervals that can be amendable to starter open pits, and Dipole fits the bill.”

Drilling at Dipole has outlined a 25- to 48-metre-wide zone of stacked mineralized shear zones cross-cutting a hematite-carbonate and chlorite altered graphitic tuffs of Archean age.

Joining the round-table discussion, Jeff Ward, president of Kivalliq, reckons the deposit model is identical to the structurally controlled, basement-hosted deposits beneath Saskatchewan’s Athabasca basin, such as Cameco’s (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) Eagle Point mine, or Fission Uranium’s (TSX: FCU; US-OTC: FCUUF) Triple R deposit.

Indicated resources at Triple R add up to 2.3 million tonnes at 1.6% U3O8 for 79.6 million lb. U3O8, with an inferred resource of 901,000 tonnes at 1.3% U3O8 for 25.8 million lb. U3O8.

The high-grade core of the deposit has 110,000 tonnes at 18.2% U3O8.

“We’re looking at similar roots of a major plumbing system,” Ward says.

“Only here the overlying basin material has mostly eroded away, so we don’t see the unconformity-hosted style of deposits, just what’s in the basement.”

A company technical report suggests that mineralization at Lac 50 could also be related to magmatism at uranium-rich iron-oxide-coppergold deposits that is similar to BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam deposit in South Australia.

Paterson adds that although the company can expand the resource

at Lac 50, it will instead explore its greenfield targets, which would return “the most bang for your buck.”

He says that “in these market conditions you have to be careful about how you spend money, and you want to hit your highest priority targets, and explore the upside. When the market turns, we can raise the capital to pound resource drilling into Lac 50, Dipole or elsewhere.”

Kivalliq is also eyeing another attractive target called RIB, just south of Dipole, which bears a similar 3.6 km long uranium-in-soil anomaly along a geophysical trend, and some historic drilling that returned 0.1% U3O8 over 9 metres.

Both Dipole and RIB will be the focus of next year’s drilling campaign,

along with some following up at the company’s other uranium projects, such as Hatchet Lake and Genesis in northeastern Saskatchewan.

“We’ve taken advantage of the downturn to pick up high-quality uranium exploration assets in Canada, and when the market turns around, we think the value of those assets will increase,” he says.

Encouraged by the company’s firstever drill program at Angilak, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Rob Chang has issued a “buy” rating on the stock and a 15¢ price target.

FINANCIAL RECKONING

| Miners tally US$4B in Q3 oil and gas writedowns

I

t must have seemed like a good idea at the time a few years ago when Teck Resources and Freeport-McMoRan management bought deeper into the oil and gas sector and diversified further away from their mining businesses, but those decisions to dabble have come back to sting both companies.

BY JOHN CUMMING In a new phase of financial reporting, minjcumming@northernminer.com ers like Teck and Freeport are posting major non-cash losses related to falling commodity prices, rather than the scenario several years ago when writedowns more often stemmed from cost overruns at projects under construction, or overpayment for acquisitions.

In its quarterlies released on Oct. 22, Teck recorded impairment charges totalling $2.2 billion on an after-tax basis ($2.9 billion pre-tax), including $1.5 billion on its metallurgical coal assets, $340 million on the Andacollo copper assets and $343 million on its 20% share of the Fort Hills oilsands megaproject in Alberta.

The rest of Fort Hills’ ownership is split between Suncor Energy (40.8%) and Total E&P Canada Ltd. (39.2%), a subsidiary of Paris-based Total. With its partners, Teck’s board made the decision in October 2013 — at a time of peak oil — to go forward with Fort Hills, with Teck's share of the anticipated construction bill coming in at a hefty $2.9 billion.

The prolonged downturn in mining recently forced Teck to raise almost $1 billion in two streaming transactions: a silver stream with Franco-Nevada at the Antamina mine, and a gold stream with Royal Gold at the Andacollo mine.

With these fresh funds, the diversified major paid down its debt by $400 million and beefed up its cash position to $1.8 billion — more than enough to fund its remaining $1.5-billion share of the capital needed at Fort Hills, where construction is 43% complete, and remains pretty much on time and on budget to start production by late 2017.

This year alone, Teck is spending $850 million of Fort Hills, where 4,800 construction workers are now on-site.

Once in full swing, Teck’s estimated production from Fort Hills will be 13 million barrels of bitumen a year, and it will hopefully come on strong just as production from the tight oil shale centres in the U.S. peters off and eliminates the glut of oil in North American markets that has so weighed down oil prices globally.

Other parts of the Teck business have benefitted from the falling oil price, though. The oil price decline, a falling Canadian dollar and higher copper grades have reduced Teck’s costs in its copper and coal business units by US20¢ per lb. and US$20 per tonne, compared to last year.

Meanwhile, Freeport’s oil and gas writedowns are on an altogether different scale than Teck’s.

Freeport just announced it lost US$3.8 billion on US$3.7 billion in revenue in the third quarter, and has lost US$8.2 billion so far this year.

A whopping US$3.7 billion of the third-quarter loss is attributed to writedowns in its oil and gas division.

Showing just how swift the fall in oil and copper prices have been, Freeport saw its revenue plummet from US$5.7 billion in the third quarter of 2014 to the US$3.7 billion seen this last quarter.

Freeport-McMoRan borrowed heavily to acquire its energy assets, resulting in debt ratios that are currently much higher than other mining companies, such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto. Freeport-McMoRan’s total debt in the third quarter stood at US$20.7 billion.

During a conference call, Freeport CEO Richard Adkerson said his firm is “undertaking a strategic review of alternatives for our oil and gas business, and whatever we do is supportive of our company’s financial condition. If we do separate the business, it’ll be in a way of where it’s sustainable on its own and can trade well. But that’s subject to review, and we’re pursuing it aggressively.”

He added that Freeport is “coming up with alternatives on how to evaluate ... there’s a degree of urgency to deal with these capital costs, and I’m not in any position to give redline time dates.” He said later that six months is a “reasonable” time to expect the decision.

Prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau at a press conference in the National Press Theatre in Ottawa on Oct. 20, 2015. JUSTIN TRUDEAU/FLICKR

BY JUSTIN TRUDEAU

On Sept. 25, 2015, the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada (LPC) — and after the election on Oct. 19, Canada’s prime minister-designate — Justin Trudeau released the following open letter to Canada’s public servants:

O

ver the past three years, I have had the opportunity to travel across our great country, visiting communities large and small, and speaking to Canadians about their priorities and concerns. Many of those conversations — in places like Charlottetown, or Shawinigan, or Victoria — were with members of Canada’s proud and dedicated public service. I know that each and every time a government employee comes to work, they do so in service to Canada, with a shared mutual goal of improving our country and the lives of all Canadians.

Today, I am writing to you concerning the LPC’s position on several issues that may be important to you — as a federal public servant — during this election. Respect and trust for our public servants by the federal government has never been so low, and I want to take this opportunity to assure you that I have a fundamentally different view than Stephen Harper of our public service.

Where he sees an adversary, I see a partner. I believe that in order to have a public service that is valued

by Canadians, and a source of pride for its members, it must be valued by its government. That begins with — and necessitates — respecting the labour rights of public servants, and trusting in their ability to provide effective, independent and professional services for Canadians.

Sick Leave As Liberals, we understand that modern workplaces must be flexible enough to accommodate unexpected absences — taking time off to care for a sick child, attending a doctor’s appointment or working from home while on bedrest. Employers should continually look for opportunities to improve the benefits that employees receive, but these benefits should not be unilaterally imposed by employers, or taken away, without proper negotiation.

The LPC opposed the provisions in the Conservatives’ Bill C-59, which will create a new sick leave regime that is implemented through legislation, completely outside the collective bargaining process. Responsible government must respect the union negotiation process and finalize its financial plans after finishing negotiations, not at the beginning.

public service and all Canadians.

A Liberal government is committed to bargaining in good faith with public sector unions, and the LPC remains strongly committed to supporting and protecting workers’ rights. In order for workers and employers, society and the economyat-large to prosper, we need fair and balanced labour laws that respect due process and are developed through real consultation.

Mental Health Canada is facing a growing mental health crisis. During their lifetimes, one in five Canadians will experience a mental health issue. It is crucial that we foster a welcoming environment for free and frank discussion, and the federal government has a vital leadership role to play in improving mental health support for Canadians.

As the country’s largest employer, it must begin by tackling the challenges of mental illness, which account for almost half of its disability claims.

I was encouraged earlier this year when a Joint Task Force on Mental Health was created by the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the federal Treasury Board. I fully support this type of collaborative process and commit to implementing the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace. Supporting this standard is good for the employee, the workplace and the employer.

Better Service In a digital era, citizens expect better service from their government. Our world has been changing rapidly, but our federal government has not.

Ecuador, Lundin close to FDN deal

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Federal regulatory oversight of mining strengthened under the Conservatives Last week’s editorial (T.N.M., Oct. 26–Nov. 1, 2015) entitled “What to expect from a Liberal government in Canada” mistakenly describes the Conservative government’s environmental reforms as they relate to mining, prompted perhaps by reading inaccurate news reports, of which there have been many over the years.

Regrettably, this has become a common misunderstanding shared by NGOs and other media in thinking that regulatory oversight of mining diminished under the Conservatives when, in fact, the opposite is true. The fact is, mining projects dominate the workload of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, and more projects are subject to federal environmental assessment today than they were before the Conservative government’s reforms. Amendments to the Fisheries Act are the same story. The mining sector continues to be subject to this statute, although other resource sectors,

not so much.

A key concern for the mining sector is whether any future reforms take into account the reality of current, significant federal regulatory oversight for mining projects. We do not expect to skip federal approvals, but we do expect project reviews to be timely and efficient.

As the new government examines the effects of the previous government’s regulatory reforms, we will be sure to tell them what was not done, what still needs to be done and what steps are needed to make sure we have a regulatory regime that is balanced, fair, protective of the environment and also efficient to ensure that Canada’s mining sector can continue to contribute to our country’s prosperity.

Trudeau's open letter COMMENTARY From 4

for Canadians have been continuously degraded — whether it is veterans seeking benefits, Canadian workers in need of help through Employment Insurance, individuals trying to help their relatives immigrate to Canada — even going so far as asking Canadians to pay more, for fewer services, from Canada Post.

A Liberal government will work with our dedicated public service to provide the quality of service Canadians expect and deserve. We will introduce a significant overhaul of the Canada Revenue Agency, including doing more to combat international tax evasion, and ending the political harassment of charities. We will also stop the Harper Conservatives’ plan to end door-to-door mail delivery and ensure Canadians receive the postal service on which they rely. Our commitment to better service will also respect our sacred obligation to care for the wellbeing of our troops, veterans and their families, including by reopening the nine veterans’ service centres closed

by Harper. The LPC believes in the importance of the Official Languages Act, and remains committed to a bilingual public service.

Further, a Liberal government will create new performance standards for services offered by the federal government. We will start with veterans’ services, immigration processing, Employment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan processing, and appeals at the Social Security Tribunal. After years of cuts by Stephen Harper and his Conservatives, increasing numbers of Canadians are not receiving timely access to needed services.

Canadians also expect their government to produce policies and programs based on facts. Replacing the long-form census with the National Household Survey is another example of the Harper Conservatives’ short-sighted and ideological approach to governing.

This policy hurts Canadians, and the government programs and services on which they rely. A Liberal government will immediately restore the mandatory long-form census and make Statistics Canada fully independent. We will ensure evidence-based decision-making is once again a guiding principle of the Canadian government.

The muzzling of scientists and the Conservative suppression of scientific information is an assault on democracy and an embarrassment to Canada on the international stage. The LPC is committed to revoking the rules and

TNM Pgs 1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16.indd 5

regulations that muzzle government scientists and allow them to speak freely about their work, with only limited and publicly stated exceptions. In addition, we will consolidate government science so that it is easily available to the public at-large through a central portal.

Further to this, should the LPC form the next government, we will create a Chief Science Officer, whose mandate will include ensuring that government science is freely available to the public, that scientists are able to speak freely about their work and that scientific analyses are appropriately considered when the government makes decisions.

Anti-Public Service Legislation While the middle class is struggling to make ends meet, Stephen Harper’s plan has failed to help hard-working Canadians get ahead. Instead, the Harper Conservatives have rolled back many fundamental labour rights that affect workers’ ability to organize freely, bargain collectively in good faith and work in a safe environment.

Only Liberals have the team and the plan to support and protect hardworking Canadians and their families ... a Liberal government will be committed to restoring fair and balanced labour laws that respect the integral role played by unions in our society, and their importance to middle-class prosperity.

Changes made to the collective bargaining rights in the Conservatives’ omnibus budget Bill C-4 stacked the deck against workers, with regards to their choice of dispute resolution and arbitration.

Short-sighted labour changes — driven by ideology rather than evidence, and made without a legitimate consultative process — are both disruptive and unsustainable. We will consult with public sector partners, and revisit the offending C-4 legislation.

If real change occurs after Oct. 19, a valued, independent and professional public service will be needed to implement it. From food safety, to stronger environmental protections, to ensuring benefits arrive on time for our most vulnerable community members — a strong public service is an important part of what makes Canada the envy of the world.

All my life, I have been guided by the value of public service. I believe it is time to restore trust in — and respect for — our public servants. I hope to have the honour of working with you to build an even greater country, together.

Ecuador’s Minister of Mines Javier Cordova (far left) speaks at a media conference with President Rafael Correa (far right) last month in Cuenca, Ecuador's third most populated city. ECUADOR’S MINISTRY OF MINES ECUADOR From 1

US$240 million. The project is one of the largest and highest-grade undeveloped gold projects in the world.

Cordova said it was important that Ecuadorian government close a deal with Lundin Gold to show the world that it is keen and ready to advance the mining sector, one of the country’s strategic sectors.

“I feel that investors in the mining industry are looking closely at Fruta del Norte — they want to know if that’s a project that we can make happen,” Cordova says. “It’s going to show that you can do mining in Ecuador, and of course, if we fail, that will be a negative signal. But we are positive. We’re working closely with Lundin, and we’re 100% confident that we will (agree to fiscal terms) by December.”

Kinross abandoned the project in 2013, saying it couldn’t make it work given Ecuador’s tax regime, and the hefty windfall profits tax. The company acquired Fruta del Norte through its US$1.2-billion acquisition of Aurelian Resources in 2008, and subsequently spent US$225 million on the asset.

The mining minister noted that one of the items that remain to be negotiated in the government’s stability agreement with Lundin is the amount of royalty the company must pay. Under the country’s mining code, royalties on large-scale mining projects (above 1,000 tonnes per day) fall in a range of 5–8%.

“I would say there are a couple of things that we’re working on [with Lundin]. Most important of course is the tariff for the royalty that we need to negotiate, but I would say that we’re really close, I don’t think that we’re going to have any surprises.”

The mining minister also said that Kinross erred by giving up too quickly on a project that he describes as “the best discovery in the last fifteen years.”

He says that “Kinross left for two reasons: one was their argument on taxation, but Kinross was also going through a difficult financial phase, and I believe they still are. It was a bad decision, but it was their decision, and I believe we’re going to prove that when we close an agreement with Lundin.”

Cordova added that in his view there were things that Kinross and the Ecuadorian government could have discussed and agreed on.

“They asked for changes to the law, the government was making the changes, and the changes that Kinross asked

“[KINROSS LEAVING ECUADOR] WAS A BAD DECISION, BUT IT WAS THEIR DECISION, AND I BELIEVE WE’RE GOING TO PROVE THAT WHEN WE CLOSE AN AGREEMENT WITH LUNDIN.”

for were made to the law. Those were approved and we were making new tax incentives, and they decided to sell it.”

Cordova conceded that Ecuador hired consultants Wood Mackenzie in early 2014 to assess its taxation policies and identify ways that the country could attract investment in the mining sector.

“One of the main problems that they identified was that taxation was too high,” he recalls, adding that the consulting firm analyzed the Mirador copper project, and calculated that with royalties, revenue tax and value-added tax, the total tax rate came out to 35%, versus an average 27% for the region.

The fi nding led to changes in the mining code, with taxes coming down to the regional average, he said.

“President Rafael Correa approved some tax incentives, and they were implemented by the end of 2014, and that led us to being in the average for taxation in the region,” Cordova says.

The minister also noted that Ecuador has advantages that it can offer foreign mining companies, including fiscal

stability agreements that are good for 15 years and renewable for another 15 years, low electricity and labour costs, prospective geology, ample water, five ports and good infrastructure.

Ecuador has invested billions of dollars in rebuilding more than 80% of all the highway infrastructure, he says.

Electricity costs in Ecuador — at US8¢ per kilowatt hour — are onethird the cost of what they are in Chile and Colombia, and half the cost of electricity in Peru, Cordova says, adding that they will stay low because the government is developing eight hydroelectric plants, bringing the total to nine. With the new ones in production next year, the country will have a surplus of electricity that it can then export to its neighbours.

“This is a country with a lot of potential for mining,” he says. “We are trying to be active internationally; we are trying to promote our country; we are trying to show investors that things have changed, that we have most of the things in place now and that Ecuador should be the next mining frontier.” TNM

MA R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / OCTOBER 16–22 The Toronto stock market ended higher as investors took in prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau’s majority win in the federal election. Canada’s new prime minister promises to invest heavily in infrastructure, among other areas, to revive the economy. As part of the plan, Trudeau will run up to a $10-billion annual budget deficit for three years.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 49.14 points, or 0.4%, to close at 13,878.11. The S&P/ TSX Capped Diversified Metals & Mining Index, however, slipped 1.9% to 460.62, while the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index fell 2.4% to 53.14. The S&P/TSX Global Gold Index retreated 1.8% to 142.91, as the spot gold price gave back US$13.90 per oz. to close at US$1,165.90.

Teck Resources reported a third-quarter loss of $2.1 billion, or $3.73 per share, compared to a profit of $84 million, or 14¢ per share, in the same period last year. The loss included a non-cash after-tax writedown of $2.2 billion to ref lect lower commodity prices. The writedown included $1.5 billion for its steel-making coal assets, $400 million on the Fort Hills oilsands project and $300 million on its coal assets. Excluding the writedown, Teck ’s adjusted profit was $29 million, or 5¢ per share, which beat analyst expectations, but fell below last year’s $159 million, or 28¢ per share. As of Oct. 21, its

cash balance was $1.8 billion, which covers its $1.5-billion share of costs to complete developing Fort Hills. The miner added 9¢ per share to close at $8.79, as 19.3 million shares changed hands.

Detour Gold reported initial holes from its 30,000-metre mid-year program at Lower Detour, 6 km south of its producing Detour Lake gold mine. Highlights from the first 34 holes totalling 14,800 metres included 22.4 metres of 6.46 grams gold per tonne, and 30.5 metres of 5.07 grams gold. (Both results are uncut.) So far, Lower Detour mineralization extends from surface to 550 metres deep, over a 450-metre strike length. The orebody is open at depth and down-plunge to the east.

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / OCTOBER 16–22 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index fell 1.6%, or 8.96 points, to close at 547.8 points, as gold prices dropped 1.8%, or US$21.4, before closing at US$1,166.1 per oz. gold, and US/CAD gained 1.7% to C$1.30.

Expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve would delay lift ing interest rates, possibly until 2016, has helped gold gain 9%, but the short-term investor sentiment could be losing its drive.

Copper dropped 1.3% to US$5,273 per tonne, driven on worries that China’s slowed economic growth could impact demand from the world’s top metal consumer. The world’s second-largest economy reported it grew 6.9% in the third quarter, down from 7% in the previous three months — showing the weakest quarterly growth since the 2008 global fi nancial crisis.

Brent crude oil dropped slightly by 1.3% to US$48.08 per barrel, after an American Petroleum Institute report showed later-than-expected growth in U.S. crude inventories, creating concerns about global oversupply.

Nippon Dragon Resources topped the valueadded column, rallying up 7¢, or 300%, to 10¢.

The company issued a release stating there was no change to its operations that warranted the spike in market activity. The Quebec-based company holds the Rocmec 1, Denain and Courville-Maruska gold properties in Quebec, along with technology patents for a thermal

fragmentation mining method that reduces the need for explosives by using extreme heat to shatter rock within narrow veins.

Kennady Diamonds shares had a run in value, adding 17¢ before closing to $3.12, after the company released a valuation study on diamonds from its Kennady North project, 280 km east of Yellowknife, N.W.T. The price assessment valued the parcel at US$123 per carat on average, which compares with the neighbouring Gahcho Kué diamond mine being developed by partners DeBeers Canada and Mountain Province.

Th ree high-value diamonds in the sample included a 4.22-carat stone with a value of US$1,603 per carat, 2.58 carat gem worth US$1,366 per carat and 2.38 carat assessed at US$1,196 per carat.

9,123 tons lead. Silver and lead production dropped 10% and 14%, compared to the same period last year, while gold and zinc output grew by 2.7% and 7%. The year-over-year drop in silver ounces largely came from lower tonnage and grade at its Lucky Friday mine in northern

Idaho. Hecla temporarily closed a higher-grade stope at the mine, after a failed underground booster lowered the ventilation capacity. The company has upgraded the ventilation system, and operations resumed on Oct. 1. Hecla lost US31¢ to finish at US$2.32 per share.

The camp at Lundin Gold’s Fruta del Norte gold project in southeastern Ecuador’s Zamora-Chinchipe province. LUNDIN GOLD

Lundin Gold CEO bullish on Fruta del Norte INTERVIEW

BY TRISH SAYWELL

L

tsaywell@northernminer.com QUITO, ECUADOR

undin Gold’s (TSX: LUG; USOTC: FTMNF) president and CEO Ron Hochstein sat down with The Northern Miner to discuss how he sees the prized Fruta del Norte gold project in Ecuador advancing in the months and years ahead.

The Northern Miner: Ecuador’s Mines Minister, Javier Cordova, says Fruta del Norte will be in production in 2018. Do you agree with that estimate?

Ron Hochstein: No. We’ve been saying 2019 … as we’re going through the feasibility study, we’re working through more of the mine development schedules ... there are some things that we could do in 2016 if the markets improved — we could do what we call “early works,” which could push us through to early 2019.

But in terms of mine development, we don’t see production until 2019.

TNM: The minister also hinted you’re close to signing a stability agreement, and that it might be in December.

RH: Again, it’s a nuance there. What we’re saying is we’re going to agree to fiscal terms by December. We can’t actually sign the agreement because once we sign it, it triggers a bunch of other things in Ecuadorian law. Also there are two components to the exploitation agreement: there is the fiscal language — in terms of royalties and advanced royalty payments, that type of thing — and there is all the technical, which is the work plan, and what the mine is going to look like.

The work plan we can’t do until we complete the feasibility study, which isn’t going to be until early secondquarter 2016. We’re going to negotiate the fiscal side of things, and largely the agreement, subject to tacking on the technical.

TNM: Would you agree that the fiscal terms will be agreed upon by December?

RH: That’s what we’re all working towards — to have that done by yearend. That enables us to go out and start working on the financing side of things, because the fiscal is known. That’s step one. Step two will be completing the feasibility study, which allows us to file our exploitation application. But we can work with the banks and everything with the fiscal terms first defined, and the feasibility study completed.

TNM: The minister said there were other things that needed to be negotiated besides the royalties. For largescale mining, royalties are between 5% and 8%. What other things need to be negotiated?

RH: There is the magnitude of advanced royalties. In Ecuador they have money put upfront — some of it is paid upon signing an exploitation agreement, and there are some other permits that are required.

TNM Pgs 1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16.indd 11

| Negotiations ongoing over complex Ecuadorian tax regime, production expected in 2019 All that money goes into local infrastructure and local economies, and we get a credit when we pay royalties on production. It’s a way to help prepare the local communities for eventual mine construction and operation ... the advanced royalties are payable early on. That’s the intent ... to help prepare the communities for all the employees.

TNM: And that goes into a common pool, and the government decides where the money goes.

RH: Yes. TNM: The taxation in Ecuador is quite complicated. Can you explain what the main components are?

RH: It is not an easy thing to do. Value added tax (VAT) is still an issue.

The VAT is 12%, and Ecuador is one of the few countries in the world that doesn’t reimburse VAT for companies that export ... there are still some things that we have to work on with the government, but the process is open, and negotiations are going well.

TNM: What are the tax incentives?

RH: The corporate income tax rate is 22%, which is lower. There is some work being done on relaxing duties for bringing in mining equipment that can’t be built here in Ecuador. They are still looking at the capital outflow tax ... going back outside for interest payments, and things like that. There are different things they are looking at.

I don’t look at it as much as incentives, as I look at trying to develop a fiscal regime that is competitive with other mining regimes in Latin America. They’re looking at it as giving us some incentives, we’re looking at it as: “We need this in order for Ecuador to have a competitive fiscal regime going forward.”

TNM: Minister Cordova said the taxation rate is 27%, which he said compares favourably with the regional average.

RH: That’s a number they have calculated that the Chamber of Mines has a real issue with. When you compare all the taxes — because there are multiple levels of taxes, there’s profit sharing as well, part of that goes back to the government — it’s much closer to 50%. When you do a similar analysis for Chile and Peru, you’re looking at 42–48%. Ontario I think is 52%.

TNM: Total all-in taxes are close to 50%?

RH: Yes, total all-in sustaining taxes at the end of the day ... that’s all going to government. The 27% — we’re not sure actually where that number comes from.

TNM: The minister said they hired Wood Mackenzie to look at Ecuador’s policies, and said the conclusion was that taxes were too high — so they lowered them to 27%, from 35%.

RH: That’s the income tax rate, but they’re not taking into account royalties that you are paying. A 5% net smelter return royalty is not uncompetitive, but it’s not low. And then you look at profit sharing, and profit sharing is

“IF THEY’RE NOT SUCCESSFUL HERE, IT’S NOT JUST ANOTHER MINING COMPANY THAT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, IT WAS THE LUNDIN FAMILY THAT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. SO IT REALLY IS PUTTING ON A LOT OF PRESSURE.” RON HOCHSTEIN PRESIDENT AND CEO, LUNDIN GOLD

15% of your before-tax earnings. Three percent goes to employees and 12% goes to the government, but again, that’s going back into local governments.

If you’re not helping to fund local governments, the federal government has to fund local governments. You have to look at it as payments to government.

TNM: So you don’t think a 50% tax rate is all that bad?

RH: I don’t think it’s unrealistic. Yes, there are jurisdictions that are lower, but at the end of the day, if you are essentially sharing the wealth of the natural resource development, that’s a pretty good position to be in.

TNM: The tax burden isn’t prohibiting you from going forward with this project?

RH: No. And what we are cognizant of is that Fruta del Norte is one of the best undeveloped gold deposits in the world. When we’re talking to government, we have to think about what’s competitive for the mining industry, not Fruta del Norte. Because it is a rich deposit.

There are other potential projects here. There’s Mirador to the north, which is a large copper porphyry; there is a company called Odin Mining here, which is exploring … so we have to work with the government to make sure that we are creating a long-term, sustainable fiscal regime.

TNM: The stability agreement is good for an initial 15 years, and can be renewed for another 15 years?

RH: We’re negotiating for a 25-year term that can be extended for another 25 years.

TNM: The goal posts seem to change depending on who you talk to.

RH: It’s new, so it’s at times challenging.

But it’s rewarding as well to be first.

TNM: The minister said Ecuador should sign this deal soon to prove that its mining sector is open for business.

RH: Yes, we were at a meeting here recently with some other mining companies, and they said Lundin Gold is the one. It’s important because of the profile of the project and the profile of the company. The Lundins have a following [in the industry], so there’s one thing, I don’t want to sound arrogant about the family, but look at what they did in the Congo, what they did in Argentina ... what they’ve done in oil and gas in some parts of the world. They have been successful working with governments.

If they’re not successful here, it’s not just another mining company that was unsuccessful, it was the Lundin family that was unsuccessful. So it really is putting on a lot of pressure — and not only pressure internally, but also pressure from outside.

TNM: You have your hands full with Fruta del Norte, but would you look at acquiring more ground in the country?

RH: No, we acquired a fairly large land package from Kinross. The Fruta del Norte project is 50 sq. km and there were 860 sq. km in total, and Kinross had done a lot of work on some of those, so we’re looking at that, but our focus is on the fiscal and regulatory regime, environmental permitting and feasibility study. We have done exploration work, but we’re putting that on hold until we get some of the key things done ... that’s probably the latter half of next year.

TNM: All of the environmental applications submitted so far have been approved?

RH: So far, and some are in progress, but we have worked with them. One of the things we’re working on with the Lundin Foundation is training of Ministry of Environment personnel, because a lot of them don’t understand mining. They understand oil and gas, but oil and gas and mining are not the same, and that’s part of the education we have to do here as well … but they are quick studies, and with the right people in the room, you can make things happen.

TNM: The mines minister was quite critical of Kinross for abandoning the project, and Lundin paid just US$240 million for it. That was quite a good deal.

RH: If you look at the market, yes, we got it for a pretty good deal. Kinross still owns 22% of the company, so they can still participate in the upside if we’re successful. They still have the potential to earn a lot more.

The main thing that people forget is timing. When Kinross was here,

oil was high. This country was awash in fiscal inputs into the country. The gross domestic product was growing like crazy, and you had a good, solid leader — and you still do — who was putting money back into the country, so the country was really growing. You had countries all over the world — Australia, Mongolia, Chile — who were talking about windfall profit taxes. So what [President Rafael Correa] put in wasn’t all that unheard of. It was a combination of things, but most of it was timing.

If you look at the environment we’re in today, it’s US$40 to US$50 per barrel of oil. I was in Guatemala last week to tour Escobal’s operations just as a benchmark, and they’re also nervous because El Niño this year has got a lot of people on this coast very concerned.

They’ve looked at what else they can do to push the economy other than oil and gas. They’ve put a big push on tourism. Tourism has grown, but as we know, tourism is not big dollars.

They realize mining is the only thing that they can really do here that can help backfill oil and gas.

TNM: The minister said so far this year Ecuador has lost US$7 billion in revenue from the oil and gas sector, and pointed out there is no leverage, because the currency is tied to the U.S. dollar.

RH: [Yes.] That’s the other aspect, the strong U.S. dollar.

TNM: Can you explain the windfall profits tax?

RH: There are two big things that have changed since Kinross was here.

The first is that now you can recover all your capital before it kicks in. So that’s big.

The other is that they have set the price on the Wood Mackenzie formula, which is a 10-year average, plus one standard deviation, and brought to today’s dollars. So you have inflation working for you. A lot of the modelling we have done would not have an impact.

If you have, say, a gold company that is operating in Canada or Chile, or any place else, and you’ve got us that has this windfall profits tax, it puts us at a disadvantage, because the potential upside is limited ... the modelling we’ve done, you’d need a rapid spike in gold for it to kick in.

Nevertheless, when investors look at it, they see a potential ceiling. So we continue to discuss this with the government. We’ve got bigger and more important things right now … but we continue to raise it.

There is only one other country that has a windfall profits tax that I’m aware of, and it’s Bolivia. A lot of the countries walked away from it. Mongolia walked away from it. Australia walked away from it. As far as I can tell, it’s Bolivia and Ecuador that are left.

Again, what we’re trying to do — not just Lundin Gold, but the government — is create a competitive, sustainable fiscal regime in the country. TNM

Barkerville reborn after ‘massive housecleaning’ Frank Callaghan fined by BCSC The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) has reached a settlement agreement with James Francis (J. Frank) Callaghan, with his admitting he made statements that breached National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Callaghan is a B.C. resident and former officer and director of Barkerville Gold Mines (TSXV: BGM).

The historic Bonanza Ledge open-pit gold project at Barkerville Gold Mines’ Cariboo property in B.C. BARKERVILLE From 2

and development: Bonanza Ledge.

Bonanza Ledge had operated between March 2014 and April 2015, producing 91,234 tonnes at 8.66 grams gold for 24,000 oz. gold, and the resource has only been defi ned to 107 metres deep.

“We bottomed in ore, but we weren’t prepared to front the capital to enter into the second phase of the operation, which required us to push the pit wall back,” Geddes said. “Since our mining permit is still active, we’re entertaining different scenarios for the next phase, whether it be more economical to pursue it as an underground development, or continue with the open pit.”

The company has commissioned JDS Energy & Mining to evaluate and optimize the mining method for the orebody, and Geddes hopes to return to production next year.

Exposed in the small open pit are a number of steeply dipping, anastomosing rusty veins enveloped within a shear zone that has chewed its way through the black, carbonaceous shales.

TNM Pgs 1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16.indd 13

Geddes sifts through geology maps on the back of the truck and explains that the structure — known as the BC vein — is the main exploration target on the property.

Marked as a thick red line across the paper, the mineralized BC vein has been traced by drilling for at least 1.4 km strike length at surface. Beyond that, it disappears beneath the forest floor.

But within that window, BGM has systematically drilled the open-ended vein at 50-metre centres, to depths between 200 and 400 metres in hopes of calculating a resource estimate later next year.

Results so far have returned hits such as 20.6 grams gold over 3.9 metres, 18 grams gold over 3.4 metres, 14.7 grams gold over 6 metres and 10.3 grams gold over 9.6 metres.

Standing alongside the BC vein, Geddes points to a number of identical, parallel-trending structures along the open road-cuts in the distance that are caked with sulphides.

The new discoveries, which include the KL and AG horizons, have returned intercepts of 6.4 grams gold over 7.3 metres, and 2.49 grams gold over 21.3

The BCSC says the agreement states that in June and August 2012, Barkerville disclosed mineral resource estimates and a target for more exploration on a mineral property in a news release and in an independent technical report filed with the BCSC. The BCSC says its staff “determined that the initial report did not comply with NI 43-101.”

metres including 11.84 grams gold over 1.5 metres.

Upon closer inspection, the deformation etched across the rock faces shows that these aren’t small, discontinuous structures of limited extent.

On Aug. 14, 2012, the BCSC issued a cease-trade order on Barkerville stock and required that the company file a revised compliant technical report prepared by another independent qualified person under NI 43-101.

‘Mind-boggling’ potential “The greatest thing [former CEO] Callaghan has ever done for this company was secure the entire district,” Geddes said, pointing to the 1,777 sq. km land package that sprawls over 101 placer-producing drainages and six past-producing mines for a 60 km strike. “We don’t have to worry about competitors because we essentially have a monopoly on the whole trend.”

The source of the gold and how it manifests across BGM’s deposits is quite the enigma, considering it occurred 30 million years after porphyry mineralization in the region.

Some reckon that the gold was stripped out of the host rock by regional metamorphism and found its way through the cracks, while others suggest the gold remobilized to higher parts of the crust from underlying gold-enriched replace

Barkerville filed a revised technical report in June 2013, with reduced mineral resource estimates and targets for more exploration. The cease-trade order was revoked on July 15, 2013.

ment ores, such as those seen at Island Mountain.

Geddes suspects the gold may have been transported from deep within the crust by a network of terrane-bounding faults and shear zones.

In whichever case, he says the potential of the property is “mind-boggling.”

“Between Bonanza Ledge and Island Mountain there’s over 6 km of gold deposits and occurrences,” he said.

“Beyond that it’s all undercover, and every time we build a new road we uncover something new.”

The BCSC says that 2.5 months after Barkerville adopted the revised estimates and retracted the initial estimates, “Callaghan publicly repeated, and attempted to justify, the initial estimates in an online article, and at an investor presentation.”

Callaghan acknowledges that his statements in the article and at the presentation contravened provisions of NI 43-101.

The BCSC says Callaghan also agreed that certain facts aggravated his breaches of NI 43-101, including that BCSC staff cautioned him that attempting to justify, validate or compare the initial estimates to the revised estimates was misleading, and likely contrary to NI 43-101; his disclosure contradicted Barkerville’s previous disclosure adopting the revised estimates as the only current estimate; and he understood disclosing combined inferred and indicated resource estimates was prohibited.

Callaghan must pay a $30,000 fine to the BCSC, and resign any position he holds as officer or director of a reporting issuer. He is banned for a year from acting as an officer, director or public relations person for any reporting issuer. He must also complete within a year a course on the requirements of NI 43-101.

At the end of the work day, Geddes and his team sit outside their apartments in what they jokingly refer to as their “sharing circle” to discuss the day's advances and challenges.

“We want to stress to the industry that we’re all really focused on producing deliverables at the highest technical standards, and we’re not going to be promotional about it,” Geddes said.

“We want people to realize the potential of this on their own, and let the results speak for themselves.” TNM

NuLegacy earns 70% of Iceberg gold deposit in Nevada EXPLORATION

| Junior awaits Barrick’s decision on back-in right

N

uLegacy Gold (TSXV: NUG; US-OTC: NULGF) is standing at a crossroads, after fulfilling its 70% earn-in on the property in Nevada that hosts its flagship Iceberg gold deposit.

The Reno, Nev.-based junior discovered the Carlin-type gold deposit on the coveted Cortez trend in June 2012, two years after it signed an earn-in agreement with Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX).

“THIS IS SUCH A BIG FORK IN THE ROAD FOR THE COMPANY.” JAMES ANDERSON CEO, NULEGACY GOLD

Under the agreement, NuLegacy had to spend US$5 million exploring the 60 sq. km property by the end of 2015.

It did this by September 2015, leaving Barrick with 90 days to decide whether to earn back 70% of the property by investing US$15 million over the next five years — giving NuLegacy a 30% carried interest to production — or stay as a 30% minority working-interest partner.

Barrick has three world-class gold assets on the Cortez trend, including the low-cost producing Pipeline and Cortez Hills deposits, and the 15.5 million oz. Goldrush development project, just north of the Iceberg property.

NuLegacy’s CEO and director James Anderson says the amount Barrick has to spend under the earnback option fits “comfortably” with the gold major’s annual global exploration budget of more than US$100 million.

Two ways forward If Barrick picks the earn back option, NuLegacy will look at selling its 30% carried interest in a streaming or royalty agreement to an interested party.

But if Barrick stays at the 30% level, NuLegacy will either try selling its majority interest, or buy Barrick’s minority interest to consolidate the ground.

“This is such a big fork in the road for the company,” Anderson admits.

The major’s 90 days are up at year-end.

Once it responds, NuLegacy can pick which avenue to pursue.

Anderson reveals that Barrick has sent a couple of representatives to examine NuLegacy’s core and rock chips from its recent drilling. It also has access to the junior’s electronic data room.

On Sept. 30, NuLegacy reported the latest eight holes from its 2015, US$1.3-million drill program on Iceberg, of which seven holes hit gold mineralization. “That is a remarkably good hit-miss ratio in a Carlin-type deposit,” Anderson says.

Six of the holes were drilled on the deposit’s North zone, with all but one returning encouraging gold results, including 5.11 grams gold over 13.7 metres, within 33.5 metres of 2.46 grams gold. The other two holes intersected slightly lower grades on the Central zone.

Before this year’s drill program NuLegacy explored Iceberg’s Central and South zones, but this changed after it reported its best hole on the North zone in May. The hole returned 25.2 grams gold over 4.6 metres, within 41.2 metres of 3.9 grams gold.

“That was a bit of a game changer,” Anderson says.

Over the past three years, NuLegacy has completed a total of 74 holes along with numerous geophysical and chemical surveys on the Iceberg deposit, establishing a National Instrument 43-101 compliant exploration target of 90 to 110 million tonnes grading 0.9 to 1.1 grams gold per tonne.

The junior aims to start a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate on Iceberg next year, regardless of Barrick’s decision, Anderson says. “I think we will in either case. But, we would like to see the whites of the eyes of Barrick before we embark on that.”

NuLegacy shares closed Oct. 23 at 12¢, up 33% from 2014’s close. With 160 million shares outstanding, the fi rm as a $19.2 million market capitalization. In the past 52 weeks the company's shares have traded between 6¢ and 17¢. TNM

tar Mountain Resources (USOTC: SMRS) is acquiring a past-producing zinc mine and concentrator in New York state, which the company says will catapult it from explorer to producer in less than a year.

The Balmat mine, owned by Hudbay Minerals (TSX: HBM; NYSE: HBM), has been on care and maintenance since 2008, mostly due to poor market conditions, low commodity prices, high operating costs associated with the deposit’s geology and changing business priorities.

Last year, privately held Northern Zinc negotiated an exclusive purchase option with Hudbay to acquire 100% of Balmat, but like many companies in the mining sector, it struggled to follow through with its plans in the current downturn.

“There are bucketfuls of junior explorers who are hanging on by their fingernails — we understand the situation they’re in,” Star Mountain president and COO Mark Osterberg says in a telephone

interview. “The acquisition/merger of Northern Zinc into Star Mountain brings both the right to purchase the Balmat mine from Hudbay, and the technical expertise to actually run it.”

Under the deal, Star Mountain will acquire Northern Zinc and assume $1.39 million of its debt in exchange for 10 million shares of Star Mountain’s common stock. It will also pay Hudbay $17 million in cash and 550,000 in shares.

Osterberg says management expects it can rein in operating costs by controlling dilution through modified mining plans, replacing underground equipment and making relatively

inexpensive modifications to the concentrator.

“The mining plan will address some continuity issues caused by high-grade metamorphic ductile deformation of carbonate wall rocks and the enclosed sphalerite-bearing mineralized bodies,” he explains.

“Smaller-profile underground equipment will allow smaller excavations, lessening the need to handle barren material.”

One of the first priorities is to complete a compliant resource estimate, and confirm earlier estimates of an eight-and-a-half-year mine life.

methodology, but they did not publish or report it, so we’re in the process of meeting the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide 7, and that should be out in November,” Osterberg says. “We intend to use it as part of the audit stream that has to go with reporting requirements in the U.S.” Industry Guide 7 contains SEC’s basic disclosure policy for mining companies.

According to Star Mountain, average grades at Balmat run 14% zinc, which Osterberg says makes Balmat “the third-highest grade zinc resource available in a developed mine around the world, as far as we know.”

Balmat is a fully permitted and equipped mine, with a 5,000-ton-perday flotation mill, an office complex and infrastructure. It also has more than 202 sq. km of mineral rights, and the company says there could be a chance to expand mineralization with more surface and underground development and exploration.

As for the physical state of the operation, which also sat on care and maintenance from 2001 to 2005, Osterberg says Hudbay “did a very good job” of keeping the complex in good shape and up to date.

“It’s in outstanding condition for a care and maintenance mine,” he says. “We’re confident we’re going to make it a success.”

As for the outlook for zinc, which is selling at US81¢ per lb., the company’s Arizona-based management says a looming supply deficit — due to the planned closures of several zinc mines, coupled with rising demand for the metal — should lift the price over US$1 per lb., sooner or later.

“The mine plan we have in place right now has cash flow at US$1 to US$1.10 per lb. zinc,” Osterberg says.

“At that price, it would give us positive cash flow, after paying back capital investment in 18–24 months from the start of redevelopment, or from the time the acquisition closes. And the zinc price sensitivity analysis in our model indicates solid cash basis profitability, even at current prices.

Our modelled break-even point is a price well below the current price.

The likely US$1 per lb. price generates outstanding results, not just profits in the black.”

Looking ahead, he says adding key members of the Northern Zinc team will boost the depth and experience of Star Mountain’s board and management, so that Star Mountain “might have an opportunity to build a new company with other assets in addition to Balmat, obtained at relatively low cost during the current mining downturn.” TNM

Welcome to Mineral Exploration Roundup 2016! This year’s conference will bring together geoscientists, prospectors, investors, suppliers and First Nation partners to share ideas that will help shape the future of mineral exploration and development. As the mineral exploration and development industry continues to work through the current downturn, we reflect on the importance of networking, professional development and relationship building with our partners, stakeholders and competitors. Mineral deposits are becoming harder to find; we must now travel to more remote locations, search deeper beneath cover, and sometimes settle for lower grades. These aspects, coupled with the challenging market conditions, remind us that we must be more creative and collaborative as we explore to discover and develop new mineral deposits.

GENERAL INFORMATION VENUE: Roundup 2016 will be held under the Canada Place sails at Vancouver Convention Centre East, 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, B.C ONLINE REGISTRATION: Visit amebc.ca/roundup to register and for conference, visitor and hotel information.

SHORT COURSE 2 APPLIED STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY OF HYDROTHERMAL GOLD DEPOSITS Presented by: David Rhys & Julie Rowland (Panterra Geoservices Inc.) Saturday, January 23 Sunday, January 24

This short course will review our current understanding of structural controls on the gold-silver ore-forming environment from the roots of mountain belts to hot springs. Using case studies, we will illustrate the variety of structural features that may be used to constrain deposit-scale geological models. Participants will learn the principles of structural control on mineralisation and examples of good practice in data acquisition and analysis. These principles and workflows are transferrable to other structurally-controlled, or modified mineral deposits.

SHORT COURSE 3 CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IN CSR: KEEPING CURRENT AND ADVANCING YOUR SKILLS Presented by: AME BC Corporate Social Responsibility Committee Saturday, January 23

This course will provide an update on current developments in CSR involving a combination of presentation and group discussion questions. Using case studies and facilitated, interactive

OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONIES AND 2015 REGIONAL REVIEWS Monday, January 25 - Morning 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM

The 2016 official opening ceremonies will be followed by overviews of exploration and development in BC, Yukon, Alaska and Nevada. In keeping with this year’s Innovation theme, presentations will focus on some of the key innovative approaches their jurisdictions have seen over the last year; whether it’s new applied exploration tools, innovative business partnerships or advanced green technologies.

INNOVATION IN EXPLORATION Monday, January 25 - Afternoon 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Innovations in exploration are fresh ideas that can be implemented to play key roles in providing geologists with new and improved strategies, tools and techniques in their pursuit for new ore deposits. These innovations have been widespread and variable, and include exploration vectoring based on zoned alteration assemblages, improved and deeper-looking geophysical techniques and inversions, rapid and cheap multielement geochemical techniques, and cheaper, deeper and directional drilling. Th is session will focus on recent exploration innovations by providing several notable examples from the fields of drilling, geophysics, and lithogeochemical modeling. Additionally, case studies will provide examples of the application of innovations in exploration and their translations to exploration success.

to extend the productive lives of existing mines.

INTERNATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Public geoscience provides fundamental knowledge of the geology framework necessary to identify areas with high mineral potential to support successful targeting of minerals related investments. Accessing public geoscience data reduces investment risk and encourages intelligent exploration. In the Canadian Cordillera, publicly-funded studies are conducted by geoscientists from the British Columbia Geological Survey, the Geological Survey of Canada, Geoscience BC and the Yukon Geological Survey. In this session, talks will highlight results from recent and ongoing projects that are of interest to the mineral exploration sector, and provide information on how to access new data and information.
