T

eck Resources (TSX: TCK.B; NYSE-MKT: TCK) has become the third company this year to sign a joint-venture option agreement with prospect developer Arena Minerals (TSXV: AN) on its Atacama property in Chile, 50 km from the port of Antofagasta.

The October transaction with Teck follows similar joint-venture option agreements with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. (JOGMEC) in July, and B2Gold (TSX: BTO; NYSEMKT: BTG) in February.

The option deals cover 85% of the Atacama property, which Arena Minerals picked up from industrial minerals producer Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (NYSE: SQM) in July 2013.

SQM had held the land package for several decades and mined nitrates from the top five to 10 metres of overburden on various parts of the property, rather than exploring for copper, despite the district’s known copper porphyry systems.

The Atacama property, for instance, is just 3 km from KGHM’s Sierra Gorda mine; 8 km from BHP Billiton’s Spence mine (which ranks among the top-20 copper producers in the world); 16 km from Antofagasta’s El Tesoro and Esperanza mines; 11 km from Glencore’s Lomas Baya mine; and 27 km from Anglo American’s Mantos Blancos mine.

One feature that has attracted so many companies to Arena’s 920 sq. km property, CEO William Randall says, is that it is close to the Antofagasta Calama Lineament, an area famous for porphyry clusters such as Chuquicamata, Codelco’s main asset, and the

ining giants BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP; LSE: BLT) and Vale (NYSE: VALE) haven’t offered much detail about a large-scale tailings dam breach at the Samarco iron ore joint venture in Brazil’s Minas Gerais state, but reports already show it could be one of the largest-ever mining-related disasters in terms of area of impact.

It was near dusk on Nov. 5 when residents in the nearby town of Bento Rodrigues reportedly heard a thundering boom, followed by a flood of mud and tailings waste that levelled See SAMARCO / 15 PM40069240

Spence and Sierra Gorda porphyries.

(The porphyries form where the lineament intersects major north–south structural features.)

The ground has also seen little, if any, exploration for copper and gold. “There is a big gap of known copper porphyry deposits, despite the favourable setting,” Randall says, “because it has been in the hands of industrial minerals giant SQM for several decades.”

After discovering the Spence deposit more than a decade ago, a number of companies approached SQM to acquire land nearby, but no deals

were made. “Our property missed a lot of exploration that resulted from the Spence discovery, so it was basically undrilled and untested before us,” Randall says.

Under Arena’s latest deal, Teck can acquire up to a 60% interest in two claim blocks: the Solitario and Paciencia North prospects. Teck will need to spend up to US$19.5 million on exploration in two stages over six years. Teck will also finish two equity financings in Arena at 27¢ per share (a premium to the market), for a total C$1.5 million (C$1 million on signing and C$500,000 before July 26, 2016).

It also has to make a US$450,000 onetime cash payment and a US$100,000 recurring annual payment.

Teck will have a second option to acquire another 11.3% interest by spending an extra US$15 million on exploration before July 26, 2021, or by delivering a feasibility study before July 26, 2023.

Arena’s management team thought it would look for partners for Atacama when the company sat at less than a $15-million market capitalization.

these areas that we had defined, we’d probably have to raise US$10 to US$20 million, and at that market cap it would be highly punitive to our shareholders,” he says. “We contacted a long list of companies, focusing — given the market — on large companies with good financial resources, and with exploration teams that could do the work properly. We also had to juggle areas of interest, but it was these three that fit all of our requirements, because they wanted different pieces of land that didn’t overlap.”

The first option deal Arena did with B2Gold was for two claim blocks: Pampa Paciencia and Cerro Barco. The second, with JOGMEC, was for three claim blocks: Carmen Alto, Pampa Union and Cerro Guacate Sur. The claims under option to JOGMEC and B2Gold are contiguous, while Teck’s claims are north and south of B2Gold’s Pampa Paciencia.

Arena and its partners are targeting large porphyry deposits, Randall says, “and discovering one would be

of a magnitude that majors would be interested in.”

Together, the three deals result in roughly US$56 million that could be directed towards exploration on Arena ground. In addition to the 790 sq. km covered by the option agreements, Arena has 130 sq. km of ground remaining — on which it has identified three prospects so far — that could be available for future deals.

The company has 79.5 million shares outstanding, with insiders holding 14%; mining entrepreneur Ross Beaty, 12%; SQM, 5%; and Teck Resources, 4%.

“We had met with Ross Beaty on previous occasions, and he was impressed with our land package in Chile” Randall says. “He acquired his 12%

stake post the B2Gold transaction.”

Randall adds that despite poor market conditions and the possible risk that Arena couldn’t finance the property, finishing the first jointventure option showed that the company “had the ability to execute the plan and complete the SQM option agreement” He says that “since then we have completed the other two deals, which takes out the risk completely. We won’t need to finance for the next couple of years, so Beaty has gained exposure and has been a supportive shareholder — evidenced by his recent participation in the Teck private placement, which was done at a premium to market.” TNM

Rubicon halts trial mining at Phoenix in Red Lake GOLD

| Underground work suspended, 310 laid off as miner rethinks 'complex' geology

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

S

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

hares of developer Rubicon Minerals (TSX: RMX; NYSE-MKT: RBY) saw heavy losses after the company suspended underground development at its Phoenix gold deposit in Ontario’s prolific Red Lake district.

The move stemmed from trial mining that revealed an unexpectedly “geologically complex” main F2 gold deposit.

Mineralization at Phoenix comprises vein- and breccia-hosted, high-grade gold and gold-bearing sulphide replacement zones. Gold is associated with pyrrhotite, pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite and local arsenopyrite. The gold mineralization at Phoenix is spatially associated with intense potassic alteration assemblies, often from pervasive bioitite or sericite alteration.

Rubicon has spent nearly $400 million at Phoenix over the past four years, and hoped for commercial production at the mine in the first quarter of 2016.

The development plan was based on a revised preliminary economic assessment (PEA) from almost three years ago, which modelled total capital expenses of $420 million.

Rubicon was operating the trial mining on resource estimates calculated in October 2013, which featured gold ounces mostly delineated in the inferred category. Total indicated resources were 4.1 million tonnes of 8.5 grams gold per tonne for 1.13 million contained oz., while inferred resources were 9.2 million tonnes of 9.26 grams gold for 2.22 million contained oz.

“We’ve discovered that the mineralization at the project is much more geologically complex than what we’ve seen during surface drilling. This isn’t uncommon in terms of high-grade, narrow-vein deposits in Red Lake,” interim CEO Michael Winship said during a conference call.

“The effect of the geological complexity has been to mine tonnes and grades generally lower than expected.

After an initial assessment after my appointment, I believe the best path forward is to better understand the deposit, and pursue an optimized implementation plan.”

Since commissioning in May 2015, Rubicon has produced 3,700 oz. gold.

The company has a stockpiled 11,000 tonnes of mineralized material at an estimated 4 grams gold, which it expects

“THE MINERALIZATION AT THE PROJECT IS MUCH MORE GEOLOGICALLY COMPLEX THAN WHAT WE’VE SEEN DURING SURFACE DRILLING.” MICHAEL WINSHIP INTERIM CEO, RUBICON MINERALS

to process in November. Along with the operational suspension came the “temporary layoff” of 200 employees and 110 contractors, which represents 87% of Phoenix’s workforce.

Trial stoping revealed the complexity of F2, with gold mineralization mostly hosted near two rock types: hightitanium basalts and felsic intrusive.

Although the milling results from the first trial stope matched previous models, later trial stopes highlighted “local variability” in the high-titanium, basalt unit continuity.

The company has 11 test stopes in “various stages of development and drawdown.”

Winship added that “we certainly understood the main geological controls with the lithology. However, as we’ve gotten into the trial stoping areas, we’ve come to realize the structure is more complex than we initially understood, and the gold mineralization is more variable. We had a number of planned sections through the orebody, and you can see the mineralization moves around from sublevel to sublevel ... we need to apply an optimal mining method, because that’s the base of the pyramid for successful gold operations. We had intended to go with bulk long-hole mining, but when we applied those methods ... there’s been too much variability. It may be we go for higher-grade, more selective mining.”

Rubicon reported $23 million of working capital in October, which could see it through geological reassessments that won’t be complete until the second quarter of 2016. Winship said the company would need more capital before restarting Phoenix’s march toward production.

Rubicon’s case highlights the problem when companies adopt mine plans based only on preliminary scoping studies and inferred resources.

Scotia Capital analyst Craig Johnston noted that “this is a prime example of the risks of going into production with only a PEA ... the company, under new management, is making a prudent decision to hit the pause button until they have a better understanding of the geological model. That said, we expect the stock to underperform ... and we remain on the sidelines.”

Rubicon’s stock fell 55%, or 33¢, on 21 million shares traded after the news, en route to a 26¢ close at press time. The firm holds $65 million in debt, and has 395 million shares outstanding for a $103-million market capitalization. TNM

Trans-Pacific Partnership details bring fresh round of scrutiny TRADE DEAL | Intellectual

D

etails of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement have been released by the 12 nations that signed its terms on Oct. 5, 2015, after seven years of negotiation.

The TPP would be one of the largest trade deals in decades. Among its many features, it

By John Cumming is being touted as removing 98% of the tariffs jcumming@northernminer.com between the 12 signatory countries that represent many of the biggest and most advanced countries on the Pacific Rim, including Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Peru, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and Japan — with the notable exceptions of China as the world’s second-largest economy, as well as South Korea, Russia, and emerging economies in Southeast Asia and elsewhere.

The preamble to the TPP document states the goal is to establish a comprehensive regional agreement that promotes economic integration to liberalize trade and investment, bring economic growth and social benefits, create opportunities for workers and businesses, raise living standards, benefit consumers, reduce poverty and promote sustainable growth.

The deal still needs to be ratified by all 12 member countries — which could take at least a couple of years.

Mining industry associations and other mining proponents in Canada and beyond supported the TPP as soon as the deal was announced in October, and little has changed now that the details — all 30 chapters and 6,000 pages’ worth — are available online.

Most metals and minerals moving between the 12 countries already have low or no tariffs. There are plenty of little-known exceptions though, with the TPP lifting tariffs such as 11.7% on Japanese metals and minerals, 40% on Vietnamese iron and steel, and 50% on Malaysian chemical products.

More opportunities for miners and mining contractors may arise from new TPP restrictions on state-owned enterprises that would force them to act more like private enterprises, and be less preferential in hiring contractors from their own countries.

There is also the intention in the TPP to better harmonize labour laws and worker safety requirements between the signatory nations.

The reaction to the TPP has been much more critical from groups representing environmentalists, health care providers and high-tech industries. Environmentalists are furious that climate change-related measures are barely incorporated into the deal, and health care proponents see little harmonization between the members, while high-tech professionals see weaker intellectual property laws.

One of Canada’s best known high-tech entrepreneurs, Jim Balsillie of Research in Motion and Blackberry fame, has come out with a scorching indictment of the TPP after studying large sections of the deal.

The Canadian Press reported that he concludes the TPP “will harm Canadian innovators by forcing them to play by rules set by the treaty’s most dominant partner: the U.S.” Balsillie told the CP he’s “not a partisan actor, but I actually think this is the worst thing that the Harper government has done for Canada … I think 10 years from now, we’ll call the signature the worst thing in policy that Canada’s ever done ... it’s a treaty that structures everything forever — and we can’t get out of it.”

He added that “I think our trade negotiators have profoundly failed Canadians and our future innovators. I really lament it,” and said the government should have sent a more sophisticated negotiating team.

The new Liberal government has not yet reacted to release of the TPP details, and has been careful to point out the deal was negotiated by Stephen Harper’s defeated Conservative government. In Canada at the federal level, the TPP is in the hands of the newly appointed International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland, who says she will review it, and asks for Canadians to send her comments on it.

‘Ecuador is the place to be,’ Odin geologist says SECOND LOOK

BY TRISH SAYWELL tsaywell@northernminer.com QUITO, ECUADOR

D

iego Benalcazar has worked all over Latin America — from Chile and Peru to Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico — but since mid2013, the geologist has concentrated on finding projects in Ecuador as Odin Mining and Exploration’s (TSXV: ODN) vice-president of exploration and corporate development.

“Ecuador is the place to be,” he says over lunch at the Marriott Hotel in Quito, where he is attending a governmentsponsored investment forum. “Four or five years ago Colombia was, but it got saturated so fast once AngloGold let go of a good part of its concessions.

Colombia started changing legislation, and all the juniors came in.”

By the time Benalcazar arrived in Colombia to look for projects in 2011 and 2012, he says, “there was nothing.

The good stuff was taken.”

Benalcazar says Ecuador enjoys many of the same geological attributes as Colombia, without the security issues related to the country’s history of guerrillas and drug wars.

“When the juniors went to Colombia, they had to be friends with the military in order to have assistance,” he says.

“In Ecuador we only need to tweak a couple of things in the mining law and the fiscal treatment of the mining sector for this country to be full of mining companies, and I think that time is coming. I can sense it.”

The mining executive — and former president of the Board of Directors of the Ecuadorian Chamber of Mines — is also convinced that the small Andean nation is on the verge of “incredible change” over the next two years, because the country’s leaders are hungry for foreign investment.

“The government realizes that it needs a change in attitude,” he explains. “They’re going to have to pay a lot of attention to public expenditure.

“SOME PEOPLE WILL REGRET THAT THEY’RE NOT HERE NOW, BECAUSE IF THEY COME LATER, THEY’LL EITHER NEED EARLY STAGE EXPLORATION, OR PAY TWO OR THREE TIMES MORE.” DIEGO BENALCAZAR VICE-PRESIDENT OF EXPLORATION AND CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT, ODIN MINING

The cost of oil production here is almost the same as the current price of crude, and this is likely to continue over the next couple of years, so they have to pay attention to other sources of income.”

Quito officials are fully aware of this, and of the promising geology the country has to offer, he adds.

“The continuity of these Andean mineralized belts is so rich — what the country needs is more exploration,” Benalcazar says, pointing out that the seven major discoveries that were treated as “strategic projects” after the 2008 moratorium on exploration and mining lifted came from exploration in the 1990s and early 2000s.

“Imagine if Ecuador had continued exploration for another decade,” he muses. “We’d have seven or 10 more projects.”

Benalcazar forecasts that over the next five to eight years, Ecuador could have as many as 15 large-scale projects at over 1,000 tonnes per day, in what he describes as the country’s “first generation” of mines.

The next stage, or “second generation,” he speculates, would include medium mines of between 200,000 and 500,000 oz. gold. “You’ll find multiple deposits within a small area that could be easily combined for a 2 million to 3 million oz. project, or a stand-alone 500,000 oz. deposit. We haven’t seen that yet.”

Among Ecuador’s many attributes, he says, are abundant water; cheap electricity from the country’s six hydroelectric projects, expected on-stream in

2016; and inexpensive labour. Because Ecuador is one-quarter the size of Peru, most mining projects are also relatively easy to reach from major population centres.

“You can be in and out within a day,” he says. “In Peru and Chile it can take forever to get to some of these projects — a couple of days in some cases.

For companies with cash-on-hand in the current downturn, Ecuador is more attractive than some Latin American countries like Chile, he argues, where you can buy the same quality of project as you’d find in Ecuador, but “you’ll pay many times more.”

Benalcazar isn’t naive about the challenges of developing Ecuador’s mining industry, and is the first to admit that foreign investors have been patient over the last decade, as the government’s policy on mining evolves.

“It’s only been in the past two or two and a half years that they realized mining could become a source of income, without really knowing that it takes eight to 10 years to develop a mine,” he says. “They thought by signing contracts and bringing in companies they’d have mining production in two years. With that initial level of understanding, you can imagine they were totally lost about how the industry works.”

The government is also aware that Kinross Gold’s (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) decision in 2013 to abandon Ecuador and its Fruta del Norte project over concerns about high tax rates at the

time meant that the country “missed the upside of commodity prices and strong markets,” and “harmed Ecuador’s reputation, turning it into a “no-go destination.”

Lundin Gold’s (TSX: LUG) acquisition of Fruta del Norte in December 2014 gives Ecuador another chance, and the mining company and the government are close to making a fiscal stability agreement. “There is an opportunity for Lundin Gold, as the government of Ecuador can’t fail a second time,” Benalcazar notes.

Other things have changed, too, making the country an easier place to do business, he argues, such as simplified and faster permitting processes. In the past, companies would wait two years for an environmental license. Now, if an institution doesn’t respond within a certain number of

days, the answer is usually positive.

There are “clear rules of the game” and provincial institutions that help companies solve problems, and engage with local communities.

“Some people will regret that they’re not here now, because if they come later, they’ll either need early stage exploration, or pay two or three times more,” he says. “For companies that are waiting to see if there are going to be any more, or drastic, changes in the law — that’s not going to happen fast.

It is what it is, and they’re not going to do anything to the mining law this year. Soon enough the adverse conditions of declining economic growth will demand more flexibility to the fiscal regime — forcing Ecuador to become a competitive destination for risk investment, and the development of mines.” TNM

MA R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / OCTOBER 30–NOVEMBER 5 Canada’s main stock index fell after U.S. Federa l Reser ve Cha ir Ja net Yel len sa id there was a “live possibility” of a rate hike in December.

But the S&P/TSX Composite Index still eked out a small gain — up 0.22% to 13,558.78 — heartened perhaps by news that Canada’s trade def icit in September ($1.7 billion) had narrowed more than expected, with monthly exports rising 0.7%.

L ower com mod it y pr ices weig hed on resource stocks, with the S&P/TSX Capped Diversified Metals & Mining Index sliding 1.2% to 421.02, the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index dropping 2.5% to 48.73, and the S&P/ TSX Global Gold Index tumbling 6.1% to 125.83. The New York spot price for gold lost 3.3% to finish at US$1,103.60 per oz.

Sha res of Rubicon Minera ls were t he most traded, dropping 66% from 39¢ to 20¢ apiece, after the company suspended underground development at its Phoenix gold mine project in Ontario.

The company said trial mining had shown that the main F2 gold deposit was "more complex" geolog ica l ly t ha n a nt icipated.

It has spent a lmost $40 0 mi l lion on t he project over the last four years, with commissioning in May. Before the suspension, Rubicon had expected to reach commercial production in

the first quarter of 2016. The company said the suspended operations will lay off 87% of its workforce.

Agrium topped the list of value gainers, ju mpi ng $2 .08 per sha re to $126.83 per share. The company reported third-quarter net earnings of US$99 million — or US72¢ di luted earnings per share — compared to US$91-million, or US63¢ per share, for the same quarter of 2014.

T he i ncrea se c a me f rom h ig her sa les volumes of wholesale nutrients and lower production costs in the wholesale business unit, while earnings in the retail segment were similar to the previous year, despite weaker market conditions.

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / OCTOBER 30–NOVEMBER 5 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index lost ground despite promising North American job reports, dropping 1.4%, or 7.75 points, en route to a 534.28-point close.

Canadian employment rose by 44,400 positions in October, though most of the increase came from temporary work during the federal election. Meanwhile, U.S. payrolls registered the largest jump this year, as the economy added 271,000 jobs last month.

But markets couldn’t overcome struggling commodity prices, and future contracts for energy and metals were down across the board.

December contracts for gold dropped 4.7%, or US$53.90, before finishing at US1,087.60 per oz.

December contracts for West Texas Intermediate crude oil lost nearly 5%, or US$2.30, en route to a US$44.29-per-barrel close. December contracts for copper finished down 3.1%, or US7.2¢, at US$2.24 per lb.

Explorer Integra Gold led the volume-traded category after tabling assays from infill drilling on the Parallel zone at its Lamaque gold project near Val-d’Or, Que. The company saw over 9 million shares change hands before they closed down 1¢ at 33¢ per share.

On Nov. 3 Integra released results from nine drill holes at Parallel, which it says support a “high level of confidence in both the continuity and grade of the gold mineralization.” The

company envisions the deposit as another source of mill feed for its Sigma-Lamaque mill.

Highlights include: 1 metres grading 482.26 grams gold per tonne from 164 metres deep in hole 15-6, and 2 metres of 47.26 grams gold from 306 metres deep in hole 15-12.

Shares in Abitibi Royalties lost ground after the company updated the status of its interests in the Canadian Malartic gold mine in Quebec. Shares dropped 15¢ before closing at $2.45.

Abitibi holds a 3% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on Malartic’s Odyssey North zone, where it joint-venture partners Agnico Eagle Mines and Yamana Gold reported results from a $3.5-million drill program that Abitibi said is “meeting expectations.” Drilling is expected to continue at the target through the year.

Abitibi updated shareholders on its Barnat Extension and Jeffrey gold deposit holdings, where it holds a 3% NSR on certain minera l concessions. Agnico expects to receive operating permits at the sites by the end of 2016.

Discovery Ventures had a busy week after receiving a bulk sample permit for its Willa project near Silverton, B.C. The company saw

nearly 6 million shares change hands before they closed up 1¢ at 18¢ per share.

On Nov. 5 Discovery announced that the B.C. Ministry of Energy & Mines had granted a permit to remove up to 10,000 tonnes of ore from Willa, where the company will test metallurgical properties of the deposit, as well as equipment at its Max Mill processing facility in Trout Lake, B.C.

U.S. MARKETS / OCTOBER 30–NOVEMBER 5 U.S. equities stayed in positive territory, as investors waited for the monthly jobs report and possible reasons for the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates in December. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 107.63 points, or 0.6%, to 17,863.43. The S&P 500 Index climbed 10.52 points, or 0.5%, to 2,099.93, and the Nasdaq Composite Index rose 53.47 points, or 1%, to 5,127.74. The spot gold price fell US$43.20 per oz. to US$1,103.60.

Hi-Crush Partners shares climbed US$3.51, or 64%, to close at US$8.96. The week before, the large frac sand producer reported adjusted third-quarter earnings of US$5.6 million, or US15¢ per share. That amount excluded US$23.7 million of one-time expenses related to the writedown of assets from D&I Silica LLC in June 2013, as well as costs related to reducing headcount. Including those, the quarterly net loss was US$18.1 million, or US$49 per share, compared to earnings of US$1 per share in the same period last year. Revenues fell 20% to US$81.5 million on sales of 1.4 million tons of frac sand, as sand prices have dropped due to declining rigs and oil prices. Hi-Crush has temporarily halted its Augusta, Wis., production plant. Year-to-date, its shares have lost US$20,

TNM_Nov16_Pgs 6 11 12 13.indd 6

or 69% of its value.

Golden Minerals shares declined after the company said on Oct. 29 that it would suspend mining and processing at its Velardena mine and sulphide mill in Mexico in November, citing weak silver and gold prices, and lower-than-planned mill feed grades. Instead of operating at a loss, Golden Minerals estimates the shutdown will improve its net cash flow by US$1.5 million a year, excluding employee severance and other related costs. Shares lost 29% to finish at US22¢ per share, down 58% year-to-date.

shut its sole operating mine — San Francisco in Mexico — in mid-2016, instead of 2022. Given the low gold price and the earlier shutdown, Timmins Gold took a US$226.5-million writedown in the third quarter. It shares fell 23% to US16¢, down 84% year-to-date.

Fission powers forward after Denison deal dies

PotashCorp cuts supply to match demand

MERGER MELTDOWN

Q3 RESULTS

| Miner lowers its full-year earnings guidance

| Shareholders scuttle deal, planning proxy battle

BY SALMA TARIKH starikh@northernminer.com

P

otash Corp. of Saskatchewan (TSX: POT; NYSE: POT) is lowering its potash production levels in response to weaker demand and fertilizer prices for the second half of 2015.

The Saskatoon-based fertilizer giant will permanently close its Penobsquis mine in New Brunswick by the end of November, and plans a three-week shutdown in December at three of its Saskatchewan mines — Cory, Allan and Lanigan.

PotashCorp has two nearby potash operations in New Brunswick: the old, high-cost Penobsquis mine and the new, low-cost Picadilly mine. “The plan had been to phase out the Penobsquis operation over time, beginning next year. But with the current market conditions, the company decided it would be better to close it now and accelerate the ramp-up at Picadilly,” Randy Burton, PotashCorp’s director of public relations and communications, says in an interview.

“OUR GENERAL CORPORATE APPROACH IS TO MATCH SUPPLY TO DEMAND. AND SO THOSE MINES ARE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK.” RANDY BURTON DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS, POTASHCORP

“While this will reduce available production levels in New Brunswick by 800,000 tonnes annually, until we have Piccadilly fully ramped up, it aligns with market conditions, as we expect it will help improve our overall costs,” Jochen Tilk, PotashCorp’s CEO, commented on a recent earnings call.

Burton adds that the production levels in New Brunswick should “climb back to current levels in 2017.”

Meanwhile, the one-time shutdowns at Cory, Allan and Lanigan should lower inventories, given the softer demand, Burton says. “Our general corporate approach is to match supply to demand. And so those mines are going to take a break.”

These breaks, coupled with the Penobsquis closure, should lower PotashCorp’s fourth-quarter production by nearly 500,000 tonnes, but no layoffs are expected.

“Had the merger gone through, we would have been a bigger and better company, and a go-to name in the uranium space. After Cameco there quite simply are not that many options for investors and institutions looking for exposure to our business,” Randhawa added.

After the Fission–Denison merger collapse, an activist retail shareholder collective emerged that called itself “FCU OverSight.” The group has only released two names from its membership: Blair Lockhart, a former legal counsel at the B.C. Securities Commission who lists as an advisor; and Jim Gifford, a retail shareholder and spokesperson.

Fission’s board adopted an advanced-notice bylaw, which says any nominations to the company’s board of directors must be filed within 30 days of its annual general meeting (AGM). Since Fission’s AGM is scheduled for Dec. 15, FCU OverSight must get its proxy details in order by Nov. 15 to force a vote.

The Northern Miner contacted Gifford by phone and email, but received no details on FCU OverSight’s intentions or strategy. Gifford did say the group is trying to put together more director nominees in time for the deadline.

Randhawa hasn’t received any more details or shareholder lists from the dissident group, but added that FCU OverSight had little do with the “no” vote that defeated the Denison merger.

“It’s business as usual — nothing has changed on the ground,” Randhawa continued. “We’ve never stopped drilling at PLS, and we’ve continued to have a steady stream of assays. There’s a new structure we really like along a parallel conductor, 500 metres north of the main deposit. We can’t expect anything more from our technical team, and we’re an exploration company — so that’s how people should measure our success.”

In October Fission released its latest assays from PLS, which included two holes on the core R600W deposit and six holes at the R780E zone. Highlights include: 5 metres of 11.1% U3O8 from 137 metres deep in hole 15-408 at R600W, and 6 metres of 9% U3O8 from 234 metres deep in hole 15-416 at R780E. Fission shares have traded within a 52-week window of 57¢ to $1.38, and closed at 60¢ per share at press time.

The company reported working capital of $19 million at the end of June, and has 386 million shares outstanding for a $231.7-million market capitalization.

“Markets have been frustrating,” Randhawa said. “I was surprised with how little traction our PEA generated in terms of share price.

Now that the Denison situation is in our rearview, we can hopefully get full attention for the quality of PLS as an asset.” TNM

UEX casts new light on Christie Lake uranium property ATHABASCA BASIN

BY LESLEY STOKES lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

W

hen Japanese-owned JCU Exploration sought a partner for its Christie Lake property, 9 km along strike of Cameco’s (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) McArthur River — the world’s largest uranium mine in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca basin — Roger Lemaitre, president and CEO of junior explorer UEX (TSX: UEX), knew he had to have it.

“The whole time I was overseeing exploration for Cameco I always had my eyes on Christie Lake. I was interested in seeing what’s there,” he tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview. “And it’s the first time JCU has been looking for a partner, so we’re fortunate to get in.”

Under a new letter of intent (LOI), UEX could earn up to a 70% interest in the project by making cash payments of $7 million, and funding $15 million in exploration over five years.

Lemaitre says UEX is keen to explore the property, which has sat idle since 1997 — long before explorers recognized the potential for basement-hosted uranium deposits in the district.

“What we’re excited about the property more than anything else is that back in the early days, explorers were focused on the classic unconformity model approach, which is a successful model,” he says. “But they wouldn’t chase mineralization into the basement — it was really rare to do that.

It wasn’t until the mid-2000s that a lot of work changed focus, and none of that has been applied here.”

Basement-hosted deposits in the basin formed when uranium-enriched fluids migrated through steeply dipping structures, which was the case at Fission uranium’s Triple R deposit — host to 79.6 million lb. uraniumoxide (U3O8) in 2.3 million indicated tonnes at 1.6% U3O8 , and 25.8 million lb. U3O8 within 901,000 inferred tonnes at 1.3% U3O8 .

The structures pierce the unconformable contact with overlying sediments and the radioactive fluids plume outwards through the permeable strata, forming flat-lying deposits such as those seen at McArthur River.

The McArthur River mine — which has operated since 1999, and is licensed until at least 2023 — hosts total reserves of 1.1 billion tonnes at 14.9% U3O8 , for 345.2 million lb. U3O8 .

Based on geophysical data, UEX says McArthur’s main plumbing structure, the P2 fault, extends onto the Christie Lake tenements for a 1.5 km strike through a series of enechelon steps.

The structure hosts the property’s Paul Bay and Ken Pen deposits, which

“IT’S RARE TO HAVE A PROPERTY THAT HAS BIG, MINERALIZED ZONES THAT HAVEN’T BEEN TESTED TO THEIR FULL EXTENT — NOT TO MENTION A SUITE OF OTHER TARGETS IN AND AROUND IT.” ROGER LEMAITRE PRESIDENT AND CEO, UEX

| Junior partners with JCU to probe project's basement-hosted potential

were reported in 1997 to have a nonNational Instrument 43-101 compliant resource of 20.87 million lb. U3 O 8 , within 9.5 million tonnes at 3.2% U3O8 .

The mineralization sits at the base of the prospective unconformity under 420 metres of cover, and occurs as “ blow outs” along the main structure, likely caused by intersecting faults, which Lemaitre says is “extremely common” in the Athabasca.

“That comes into play at every deposit without exception. You’ll see it at a regional scale, deposit scale and stope scale,” he says, adding that neither of the ore shoots have been tested downdip or down-plunge.

“It’s rare to have a property that has big, mineralized zones that haven’t been tested to their full extent, not to mention a suite of other targets in and around it,” he says.

Once UEX finalizes the terms of

the joint-venture agreement, Lemaitre says the company will consider a $2.5-million program to delineate the resource in the new year, subject to financing.

Once that is complete, the company could explore the rest of the 79 sq. km property.

“To the south we know the depth to the unconformity is significantly shallower — less than 350 metres — coupled with a number of conductors that light up in geophysics,” he says.

“But it’s never been drill tested, and that’s extraordinary to see in this district.”

The Christie Lake property is one of 16 projects in the Athabasca basin the junior has built into its portfolio, since it publically listed in 2002.

Although Lemaitre says Christie will “take most of our attention” over the next couple of years, the company is still advancing the wholly owned

new production on board is going to be north of US$60 lb. U3O8 .”

With uranium sitting at US$35 per lb. U3O8 , a run up in prices is exactly what explorers will need to regain momentum in share value. UEX has seen its share price drop 59% to 12¢ per share since May. “The start in the downward migration of uranium prices is pretty coincident with the changing oil price,” he says. “People tie energy together — whether it’s oil or nuclear power — and that’s really hurt a lot of companies, and we’re not an exception. But everything is coming together, so our medium-term outlook for uranium is extremely positive.”

UEX shares have traded within a 52-week price range of 10¢ to 37¢, and closed at 12¢ at press time. The company has 246 million shares outstanding for a $29.5-million market capitalization. TNM

“Quite frankly, our strategy is to bring in as many advanced projects into our portfolio as we can handle, in advance to what we believe will be a run-up in the uranium price,” he says.

“I look at the fundamentals that are driving the uranium sector, and even the most pessimistic people predict a supply shortfall between 2020 and 2022,” he says. “Since 2009 — and postFukushima, particularly — utilities haven’t had to buy uranium because they’ve been covered, but those contracts start to roll over next year, and massively so in 2018.

PotashCorp's Q3 POTASHCORP From 7

potash mine, where it is converting the service headframe to a production headframe. Rocanville cash costs per tonne are estimated at US$40 to US$45 per tonne.

“With the Penobsquis shutdown and Rocanville ramp-up in 2016, potash cost per tonne is expected to be lower year-over-year,” CIBC analyst Jacob Bout writes in a note.

PotashCorp, which produces potash, nitrogen and phosphate, reported third-quarter earnings of US34¢ per share, slightly missing analysts’ estimates of US37¢ per share.

Gross margins fell 14% year-overyear to US$505 million, mainly due to weaker nitrogen and phosphate contributions of US$161 million and US$50 million.

The potash segment generated US$294 million in gross margin, relatively flat from a year ago. Shipments came in at 2.2 million tonnes, including offshore shipments of 1.5 million. The cost of goods sold fell 14% to US$113 per tonne, partly offsetting the 11% year-over-year drop in the average realized potash price of US$250 per tonne.

Macroeconomic headwinds — including lower gross domestic product

growth in emerging markets and the stronger U.S. dollar relative to other currencies — helped weaken the global fertilizer environment, Tilk noted on the call.

The company has kept its 2015 global potash shipment expectations at 58 million to 60 million tonnes.

But to reflect the weaker volumes and pricing, it has trimmed its full-year potash sales volume guidance by 5% to 9.2 million tonnes. It expects a potash gross margin of US$1.5 million, and a combined nitrogen and phosphate gross margin of US$1.1 billion, both slightly reduced from previous estimates.

As result, full-year earnings per share should come in at US$1.55 to US$1.65, down from US$1.75 to US$1.95.

“While we see some short-term pain associated with potash shutdowns, the longer-term benefit is a potash price above the marginal costs of production,” Bout said. He rates the stock as a “sector outperformer,” with a $28 price target.

Meanwhile, Raymond James analyst Steve Hanson has cut his US$25 target to US$23 per share to reflect “the persistent macro challenges weighing on global potash fundamentals.” He rates the stock as “market perform.” TNM

t’s a tough time to be in the uranium business, but Canadian producer Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) believes it is well positioned for a market recovery due to strong operating leverage and a rock-solid contract portfolio.

According to president and CEO Tim Gitzel, the company’s cornerstone Cigar Lake asset in northern Saskatchewan is a “key to the strategy,” and a promising quarterly performance indicates the mine is on track to deliver.

Cameco had expected to crank out between 25.3 million and 26.3 million lb. U3O8 in 2015, but boosted its production guidance to 27.3 million lb. after the third quarter. The company attributed the increase to a strongerthan-expected performance at Cigar Lake, which hit commercial production in May. The mine lies 660 km north of Saskatoon and is a joint venture between operator Cameco and France's Areva.

Cigar Lake was supposed to cost $450 million to develop and be in production by 2007, but delays saw costs balloon to over $2.5 billion.

| Miner boosts production guidance The main problems at the large-scale mine involved ground conditions and dewatering, and it wasn’t until early 2014 that the joint-venture partners solved an issue related to underground storage tanks.

Over the past nine months, however, Cigar Lake has produced over 8 million lb. packaged uranium oxide, and has become a major contributor to Areva’s McClean Lake mill. Gitzel said during a conference call that the partners are “firmly on track” to hit an 18 million lb. target at McClean Lake by 2018.

“The most important news for Cameco this quarter is just how well Cigar Lake is performing. As you all know, this is a project that was a long time in the making, and the challenges to bring it on have been significant,” Gitzel said. “We are on track to deliver on our sales guidance for the year, and thanks to the better-than-expected ramp up, our overall production guidance is higher as well. We’re obviously delighted with the way [the mine and mill] have performed this year.”

‘THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS IS JUST HOW WELL CIGAR LAKE IS PERFORMING.’ TIM GITZEL President and CEO, Cameco

million tonnes grading 17.84% U3O8 , for 235 million contained lb.

Despite signs that Cameco will hit its growth targets, the struggling uranium market is a major challenge. The company reported year-to-date net earnings of $75 million — or 19¢ per share at the end of October, which compares to earnings of $113 million, or 28¢ per share over the same period in 2014. Financials were bolstered by lower-than-expected quarterly cash costs of US$17.56 per lb. U3O8 .

Cameco noted the third quarter brought no “significant change” to uranium markets in terms of contract volumes or price. The company estimates that quantities in the spot market were at “normal levels,” while prices remain stuck under the US$40 per lb.

U3O8 ceiling. Longer-term conditions could help uranium prices out of the doldrums, however, with an estimated 65 reactors under construction globally.

“The one piece we have been watching that has returned some good news is reactor restarts in Japan. [Kyushu Electric]’s Sendai reactor started up in the second half of the year, and another reactor is expected to come online in early 2016,” Gitzel pointed out. “Of course, there need to be more restarts to move sentiment in the markets, so we haven’t seen the needle move much in reaction to those events. When the market does turn, we expect to be more than just a price play.”

Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Oscar Cabrera called Cameco’s third-quarter earnings “weak,” but said that full-year guidance implies a strong financial year-end.

Cabrera has a “buy” recommendation on the company and a $27-pershare price objective. He wrote in a research note that Cameco “should continue to benefit from a strong longterm contract portfolio through 2018, after which point long-term uranium fundamentals should improve.”

Cameco shares have traded within a 52-week range of $15.50 to $22.46, and closed at $17.34 per share at press time. The company has 396 million shares outstanding for a $6.9-billion market capitalization. TNM

Wolfden hunts for nickel in Manitoba

Netolitzky's Skeena seeks high grade at GJ EXPLORATION

RESULTS

| Junior drilling where Vale left off at Rice Island

| Skeena acquires property in BC’s most prospective metals district

BY LESLEY STOKES lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

W

hen nickel giant Vale (NYSE: VALE) dropped its claims over the Rice Island nickel and copper project in the highly prolific Flin Flon–Snow Lake mining district of Manitoba in May, junior explorer Wolfden Resources (TSXV: WLF) was keen to step in and resuscitate some much-needed exploration on the dormant property.

“It’s a property that we’ve had our eyes on for quite some time,” CEO George Topping tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview. “It’s an area we know has the potential to host high-grade nickel mineralization, and it hasn’t seen any exploration since the 1940s.”

Within a month after announcing its acquisition, Wolfden mobilized a drill rig into the property, 10 km southeast of the town of Snow Lake, to confirm historical drilling on the magmatic nickel-copper target across 250 metres at surface to 500 metres deep.

All seven drill holes hit the Main zone — a blanket of massive to semimassive sulphides at the base of a gabbroic intrusion — returning intercepts of 36.2 metres of 1.5% nickel and 0.6% copper, and 7.7 metres of 2.8% nickel and 1.1% copper.

Topping says the company is pleased with the results, but also intrigued by a sediment-hosted massive sulphide hit 50 metres below the mineralization, which returned an intercept of 4.6 metres of 3.97% nickel and 0.95% copper.

“We think there’s a good potential here for stacked zones of great, high-grade mineralization,” he says.

“Inco [now Vale] never recognized that — most of their holes stopped just after the main zone, and never went deep enough to test those lower horizons.”

He reckons that Vale has focused on building tonnes at its other properties in the nearby Thompson nickel belt — such as the T-1, T-3 and Birchtree mines

t’s taken NGEx Resources (TSX: NGQ; US-OTC: NGQRF) over three decades to bid farewell to its GJ porphyry copper-gold property, 60 km south of Dease Lake, B.C., but now the Chilean-focused explorer, along with majority partner Teck Resources (TSX: TCK.B; NYSE: TCK), is selling it all to the high-grade gold hunter Skeena Resources (TSXV: SKE; US-OTC: SKREF).

“The GJ property is something that I’ve been after for a lot of years and always said that one day I’ll get back up there,” famed explorer and Skeena chairman Ron Netolitzky tells The Northern Miner from his home in Victoria. “It’s something that’s worth chasing in the whole district.”

The company picked up GJ from Teck and NGEx for $500,000 cash-inhand and $1-million worth of Skeena shares, with more share payments totalling $3 million on or before the second and fift h anniversary.

For Netolitzky, the deal was a “bargain,” considering the property lies

25 km northeast on trend of Imperial Metals’ (TSX: III; US-OTC: IPMLF) behemoth Red Chris copper-gold mine, and that Teck “spent a lot of money getting ready to do the job, but never actually did it.”

“I think Teck started on GJ with a concept of looking for a deep Red Chris, but if you looked at the money they spent, they did a heck of a lot of geophysics, but not a whole lot of drilling,” he says.

MINFILE data from B.C.’s Ministry of Energy and Mines indicate that Teck ran 50 line km of ground magnetic survey, 76.6 line km of induced polarization survey and only 4,300 metres of drilling during its joint venture with NGEx, which earned the major a 51% interest in the property in 2014.

Netolitzky says despite Teck’s $12-million investment, the GJ deposit remains “largely untested.”

“It’s similar to Red Chris, and worthy of a follow-up,” he says. “It has a of the same signatures, and it remains open to depth.”

Since 1964, Netolitzky and other explorers outlined a large porphyry system at GJ, highlighted by drill intercepts of 47 metres grading 0.8% copper and 1.3 grams gold per tonne, within a broader intercept of 131 metres that graded 0.4% copper and 0.65 gram gold.

Over the years, the property exchanged hands until Curator Resources emerged as a sole owner in 1983, before changing names to See SKEENA / 2

BHP, Vale scramble to cope with Samarco disaster SAMARCO From 1

the community.

Pictures released from the area reveal widespread devastation, and preliminary reports from Minas Gerais state authorities indicate that four people were killed and another 30 were injured. The population in the affected area is estimated to exceed 600.

Meanwhile, BHP reported “at least one confirmed fatality,” with another 13 members of the workforce missing.

Samarco’s dams are composed of four structures: Germano, Fundao, Santarem and Cava de Germano. The Brazilian company’s CEO, Ricardo Vescovi, released a video on social media soon after the disaster to report that the Fundao and Santarem dams had ruptured at the Germano complex. Samarco said that all people rescued were taken to emergency care in Mariana — a tourist centre 300 km north of Rio de Janeiro — and other nearby municipalities.

“We still don’t know the full extent of the situation. It happened shortly before dusk, and we’re working close with Vale so that we can understand the circumstance better, as quickly as possible,” BHP CEO Andrew Mackenzie said at a press conference in Melbourne, Australia.

“We have, of course, offered our full and complete assistance to the Samarco team and the local authorities. The first thing is to manage the immediate rescue efforts, and then the clean up and subsequent investigation.

The mine is a fifty-fifty joint venture within a Brazilian company,” he added.

Samarco said its operating licences were issued by the regional environmental office, which does recurring inspections of the integrity of the dam structures. The last inspection reportedly took place in July 2015. Samarco said it conducts its own inspections under the Federal Law of Dam Safety, and has operations teams rotating in 24-hour shifts. The operational mining licences were subsequently suspended.

The Samarco mine has an annual production capacity of more than 21 million tonnes of iron ore pellets, and 1 million tonnes of concentrates. The complex includes open-pit mines, a concentration plant, two pellet plants, port facilities and a 400 km concentrate

slurry pipeline.

BHP reported that Samarco’s thirdquarter production jumped 9% yearon-year to 7.5 million tonnes of iron ore after the fourth pellet plant ramped up.

The companies said the waste from the dam breach “consists mostly of silica [sand] from iron ore processing, and presents no chemical that is harmful to health.”

Scotiabank Metals & Mining Analyst Mark Turner says Samarco was on track to produce 29.3 million tonnes of iron ore pellet product this year, and 30.4 million tonnes in 2016. This represents 24% of Vale’s attributable pellet production in 2015.

Vale president and CEO Murilo Ferreira said that “we would like to

“THE FIRST THING IS TO MANAGE THE IMMEDIATE RESCUE EFFORTS, AND THEN THE CLEAN UP AND SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION.” ANDREW MACKENZIE CEO, BHP Billiton

express our solidarity to all affected by this accident at Samarco’s tailings dams in the state of Minas Gerais. We will do everything in our power to offer

all the necessary support to Samarco and the authorities at this sad time for employees, their family members and the neighbouring communities.” TNM
