f there was a betting pool on which junior mining companies will bring Canadian assets into production over the next five years, Kaminak Gold (TSXV: KAM; US-OTC: KMKGF) would be one of the favourites. Despite potential jurisdictional challenges, and an uncooperative gold price, the company has no trouble raising capital, and is looking to pour first gold at its Coffee gold project in the Yukon by 2019.

During the scenic fl ight out to Kaminak’s base of operations — 130 km south of Dawson City, along the Yukon River — it’s pleasant to encounter a phenomenon that’s becoming all too rare in the mining industry: optimism. The company recently wrapped up fieldwork on a feasibility study it expects to complete in early 2016, and landed a $22.5-million private placement that includes investments by mining luminaries Ross Beaty and Lukas Lundin.

Rolling into Kaminak’s yearround camp on well-maintained gravel roads, it’s easy to assume

“THERE ARE EXCITING IDEAS IN THE WORKS. WE’RE LOOKING AT A RIDGETOP HEAP-LEACH FACILITY DESIGN, AN ALTERNATE ACCESS ROUTE TO THE PROJECT AND A NEW POWER SOURCE.” EIRA THOMAS PRESIDENT & CEO, KAMINAK GOLD

that the site hosts a fishing lodge.

The company picked up an old outfitter’s camp on the banks of the Yukon River, and the rough-cut wood cabins lend an anachronistic charm that harkens back to historic days in the Klondike.

Kaminak will celebrate its 10year anniversary in late November, and it’s taken the company under seven years to advance Coffee from a grassroots exploration play into an asset that could be shovel ready by early 2017. As part of the FS at Coffee, Kaminak undertook a 70,000-metre infill drill campaign in 2014 on four main deposits: Supremo, Latte, Double Double and Kona.

In late September the company tabled an updated resource estimate on the project that boosted global indicated grades by 8%, and in-

ferred ounces by 12%. Coffee now hosts 52 million indicated tonnes grading 1.68 grams gold per tonne for 2.8 million contained oz. gold.

Inferred resources total 14.3 million tonnes at 1.56 grams gold for 719,000 oz. gold.

“We’re looking at a new deposit style for the Yukon. Many of the regional deposits within the Tintina Trench have some form of association with porphyry-style mineralization, but Coffee is unique,” president and CEO Eira Thomas said during a presentation at Kaminak’s base of operations.

“We’re part of a high-grade, structurally hosted hydrothermal system, and the deposit is situated in an area that’s never been glaciated.

That’s a real advantage, since our deposits are highly weathered or oxidized, and we’ve demonstrated

they have a strong amenability to heap leaching,” she added.

The oxide opportunities at Coffee formed the foundation for a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) Kaminak released last year.

The mine plan models a US$305million open-pit mine, with an 11-year life that would crank out 167,000 oz. gold per year at all-in sustaining costs of US$688 per oz. Assuming a US$1,100 per oz. gold price, Coffee would generate an after-tax net present value of US$194 million at a 5% discount rate, along with an 18% internal rate of return.

“We’re feeling confident about the assumptions in our PEA, even though the market has changed since we released the results last year,” Thomas continued. “Gold prices are lower, but taking into consideration exchange rates ... many of the variables we used in the study are still relevant. It’s also vital to remember that in heap-leach terms, this is a high-grade deposit.”

Ascending along a well-kept, 23 km gravel road and across the Coffee property, it’s possible to envision Kaminak’s mine plan as it progresses from the Latte deposit

he friendly combination of Kirkland Lake Gold (TSX: KGI; US-OTC: KGILF) and St Andrew Goldfields (TSX: SAS; US-OTC: STADF) will create an intermediate gold producer with four mines and two mills in the Timmins and Kirkland Lake gold camps in Ontario’s portion of the Abitibi greenstone belt.

The $178-million deal — described as “visionary” by one analyst on a recent conference call — will create a mining company that makes between 260,000 and 310,000 oz. gold next year, at cash costs of between See KIRKLAND LAKE / 11 PM40069240

through to Double-Double and Supremo. The company is blessed with a few natural advantages outside the oxidization and grade of the mineralization, including some cooperative natural topography and a mine plan that allows for a relatively small footprint.

Deep trenches at Latte mark areas where Kaminak harvested samples for recent column-leach testing.

Thomas adds that part of current engineering involves run-of-mine material, and just “how coarse” it can be and remain economic. Assuming the company can go with coarser material, it’s possible that anticipated capital expenses will decline heading into the feasibility study. The current plan models 88% life-of-mine recoveries.

The next stage of the tour involves an aerial view of the Coffee site by helicopter, which cuts low over the Supremo deposit before landing on a flat, plateau-like area where Kaminak will put most of its project infrastructure.

The camp will relocate to higher ground, while the planned sites for Coffee’s three waste-rock piles run off to a horizon dotted by stunted evergreen trees. Since most of the host rock at Coffee is non-acid generating, the company will likely not need any water-treatment facilities.

In the end, the Coffee plan sums up nicely in one word: simple. And despite having faith in the current PEA, Kaminak has already iden-

tified areas for improvement in the feasibility study outside of any metallurgical tweaks.

“There are exciting ideas in the works,” Thomas says. “We’re looking at a ridge-top heap-leach facility design, an alternate access route to the project and a new power source.

We’re targeting just over 2 million oz. of primary mineralization across our current pits. It’s a simple layout and everything we’re doing is based on tried-and-true technologies. The fact we don’t require a mill or tailing facilities should hopefully make permitting quite straightforward.”

Common knowledge tends to indicate that cold-weather heapleach processes perform better when installed in valleys, since the set-up helps miners shield infrastructure from natural exposures.

Kaminak studied alternatives, however, and determined that a ridge-top model would benefit Coffee’s operations, due to the topography and mine sequencing. The intention is to mine and leach all year-round, but the company won’t stack ore on the heap pads in the coldest winter months.

Kaminak is also looking at the current hot topic in the Yukon — liquified natural gas — and hoping a new road route will lower development costs.

The transportation plan had been to piggyback on the Freegold road through Western Copper and Gold’s (TSX: WRN; NYSE-MKT: WRN) bulk-tonnage Casino project, which comes within 30 km of Cof-

fee. Kaminak realized that Casino might hit construction too late, however, and management searched for alternate access points.

After analyzing nine options, Kaminak settled on a northern route that would connect Coffee to the historic town of Dawson City. The proposed road is 190 km long — more than 160 km of which already exists as public road, with some parts needing an upgrade to meet transportation and safety specifications. Both the Stewart and the Yukon rivers transect the route and will be crossed via ferry while the river flows, and via ice bridge when it’s frozen.

“It wasn’t a simple matter of hitching Coffee to [the Casino] wagon, because we have different logistic needs and different First Nation politics,” Thomas says, as she points out the area where the road would access Kaminak’s camp.

“It actually surprised us that this

would be cost effective, but there is already a road serving placer operations. We don’t need a twolane paved highway. Our needs are served by a forestry-style gravel road, since the only thing we’ll do is transport fuel and supplies to site,” she continued.

Kaminak figures its feasibility budget will total US$36 million, and it will spend US$21 million at the project this year. But Thomas is quick to point out a major aspect that fi rst attracted her to Coffee: even greater exploration upside.

Standing atop Kaminak’s proposed mine site, it’s not hard to understand why the company calls its 150 sq. km Coffee land position a prospective “district play.” Since making the initial discovery in 2010, Kaminak has drilled 16 separate and distinct gold zones, which were all discovered by drilling underneath gold-in-soil anomalies.

“We’ve focused on what we see as

our initial mining opportunity, but we fully intend on getting back to that fundamental, grassroots exploration, because there are plenty of potential deposits and more ounces to be found on the property,” Thomas says during the helicopter ride back to camp.

“We’re really stepping-out and trying to understand some of our regional potential. There are quite a few anomalies to the west, and that’s one area where we’ve really only scratched the surface. It’s going to be a big focus for us next year.”

Kaminak closed a $22.5-million private placement in late October, wherein it issued 27.4 million units, with each unit comprised of a share and a warrant exercisable at $1.05 for two years. Shares have traded within a 52-week range of 61¢ to $1.15, and last closed at 79¢ per share. Kaminak has 171.2 million shares outstanding for a $137-million market capitalization. TNM

Lydian streamlines Amulsar plans to ease capital burden GOLD DEVELOPMENT

| Lower capex foreseen at proposed heap-leach mine in Armenia “THE TRADITIONAL SOURCES OF PROJECT FINANCING ARE INSUFFICIENT, WHICH HAS CAUSED US TO LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVE CAPITAL SOURCES.”

ydian International (TSX: LYD; US-OTC: LYDIF) knows it has to adjust expectations at its wholly owned Amulsar gold project in south-central Armenia if it wants to secure development funding under current market conditions. To that end, the company has been revising and squeezing greater efficiencies out of its mine plan.

In mid-November Lydian tabled a “value engineering and optimization study” at Amulsar that is part of a year-long effort to lower anticipated capital expenses without sacrificing operating costs or annual gold production.

Lydian president and CEO Howard Stevenson said during a conference call that he set out a capitalsavings goal of US$50 million and, based on the study, the Lydian team should be happy with the results.

Under Lydian’s revised mine plan, anticipated pre-production capital costs dropped 13% to US$370 million, while all-in sustaining costs decreased 17% to US$585 oz. gold.

The company hopes that faster after-tax cash flows of US$567 million over the first five years will support quick payback of project debt and financing. The operation could produce 211,000 oz. gold per year.

Amulsar is an epithermal-type gold deposit, 170 km south of the Armenian capital of Yerevan. Proven and probable reserves stand at 97 million tonnes grading 0.78 gram gold per tonne and 3.63 grams silver per tonne for 3.6 million contained oz. gold and 11.3 million contained oz. silver. Measured and indicated resources total 122 million tonnes at 0.77 gram gold per tonne and 3.5 grams silver per tonne, for 3 million contained oz. gold and 13.9 million contained oz. silver.

Lydian is planning a heap-leach operation at Amulsar that would see it mine 10 million tonnes of mineralized material per year from three open pits. The leach pad would be built in three phases with a total ore-stacking capacity of 104 million tonnes over a decade-long project life.

“Our work started [in the second quarter] with the metallurgical program, which led to design changes in the process plant,” Stevenson said. “Our success resulted from a lower strip ratio and reduced volumes of key consumables, and we’ve kept overall gold production at previous levels. The impact is improved headline economics, despite a drop in gold price. I’d also point out the orebody remains

open, with strong upside potential.”

One of Lydian’s big wins came from its metallurgical test work, which determined Amulsar’s ore could be crushed to a coarser grind without hurting recoveries.

That helped the company eliminate three of five cone crushers from the secondary and tertiary circuits, while lowering doubledeck screens from five to three.

The primary gyratory crusher would be replaced by a jaw crusher, and overall gold recoveries would improve to 87%.

Stevenson said the design changes require amendments to the environmental impact assessment at Amulsar as well as more public consultations.

But he says this will add no more than four months to the timeline.

BMO Capital Markets analyst Andrew Breichmanas noted that “optimization of Amulsar continues to improve economics and defi ne an attractive heap-leach development project, while progress with permitting demonstrates the level of stakeholder support. We had expected a smaller crushing facility to reduce plant capital, but mine sequencing also appears to have enabled a staged approach to mine fleet additions.”

BMO Research has an “outperform” rating on Lydian and a 50¢-per-share target price.

Lydian shares have traded within a 52-week window of 22¢ to 70¢, and closed at 24.5¢ per share at press time.

The company reported US$8.7 million in working capital at the end of September.

There are 185 million shares outstanding for a $45.2-million market capitalization. TNM

Planned infrastructure would also be relocated to consolidate the facility’s footprint and “improve constructability and operability.”

The adjustments include moving the main haul road and getting rid of a second power substation.

Stevenson added that Lydian wants to cut “direct capital expenditures” without moving the burden into operating costs.

The company also benefits from crude oil prices and cyanide consumption that are materially lower under the new mine plan.

Lydian will see a boost in economics compared to its previous feasibility study. Assuming US$1,250 per oz. gold, Amulsar features a US$438-million after-tax net present value (NPV) at a 5% discount rate, along with a 25.7% internal rate of return (IRR). Under the previous study the project had a US$306million NPV and 20.2% IRR. The company also gave economic parameters for lower gold prices.

At US$1,150 per oz., Amulsar has a US$338-million NPV at a 5% discount rate, with a 21.6% IRR. “The big question is how we’re planning to finance this build in the current market. Obviously the traditional sources of project financing are insufficient, which has caused us to look for alternative pools of capital,” Stevenson said.

“We continue to work on a structured finance package that may include: senior debt, a stream, equipment finance and equity. Our objective is to finance most of the initial capital to leave a much-reduced public offering gap we believe is achievable.”

The second apropos topic is whether the mine plan impacts Lydian’s permitting, since the company received its mining-right clearances for the project from the Armenian

Chaos ensnarls Minera IRL

BC Court declines jurisdiction in Garcia v. Tahoe

BOARDROOM BATTLE

| Showdown at EGM on Nov. 26

W

ith Minera IRL shareholders only days away at press time from possibly voting out the company’s entire board of directors, the saga of the ill-fated, Lima-based junior gold miner is a reminder of just how quickly things can turn sour working in a developing country like Peru.

BY JOHN CUMMING Founded in 2000 by Newcrest Mining alumnus jcumming@northernminer.com Courtney Chamberlain, Minera IRL started 2015 on top of the world, despite the prolonged downturn in gold prices. In previous years it had advanced and sold a gold discovery in Argentina’s Patagonia region, ingeniously extended the life of the small but profitable Corihuarmi heapleach gold mine in central Peru and used cash flow from the mine to drill and develop the much larger and highly promising Ollachea gold project in southeastern Peru beside the artisanal mining town of Ollachea, high in the Andes near the western edge of the Peruvian jungle.

The epitome of the best in Australian mining, the gentlemanly Chamberlain was the heart and soul of the company. As executive chairman and CEO he brought all he learned as a top manager at Newcrest, and applied it to his creation Minera IRL, which he insisted be based in Lima, and have most of its management team living there to forge close relationships with Peruvians, and be near the company’s operations. Minera IRL had its shares traded in London, Toronto and Lima, and had an experienced, international management team.

But Chamberlain’s passing after an illness, announced on April 20, 2015, showed just how critical he was to keeping the company on track.

The financially savvy Canadian mining executive Daryl Hodges — who joined Minera IRL’s board in February 2014, presumably for his skills in helping to obtain financing for Ollachea — was unexpectedly tossed into the executive chairman role at Mineral IRL in March 2015, as Chamberlain’s illness forced his withdrawal from the company.

May 5, 2015, was another milestone, with Peruvian lawyer Diego Benavides, the executive president of Minera IRL Ltd.’s Peruvian subsidiary Minera IRL S.A., being appointed interim CEO of the parent company Minera IRL Ltd. On June 8, with Hodges as chairman and Benavides as interim CEO, Minera IRL Ltd. announced a US$70-million bridge loan structured by the Peruvian state-owned development and promotion bank Corporación Financiera de Desarrollo S.A. (better known as “Cofide”), and syndicated through Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The loan had been pitched as “the first step towards a senior project credit finance facility of up to US$240 million.”

At that point, a civil war effectively engulfed Minera IRL Ltd., with the board and management team running the parent company pitched against an insurgent group led by Benavides, who tightened control over the Peruvian subsidiary Minera IRL S.A., and agitated much of the local Ollachea community against the parent company.

If you want a glimpse into how nasty the battle has become, have a look at Minera IRL Ltd.’s string of press releases versus the ones from Minera IRL S.A., which are posted at www.minerairlshareholders.com.

Aug. 24 was another fateful day, with Minera IRL Ltd.’s board voting unanimously to remove Benavides as interim CEO of Minera IRL Ltd., and announcing the company was “investigating allegations of impropriety received through its recently implemented and independently managed Whistleblower hotline.” Indeed, doubts were then raised about the terms of the entire US$70-million financing.

Three days later Hodges was the next casualty, by not winning reelection to his chairman role at the company’s annual general meeting.

Flash forward to today, and Minera IRL Ltd. trades on no exchange, work has a stopped at Ollachea and the company has a new chairman the form of respected Peruvian lawyer Jaime Pinto. But the parent company has lost financial control over the Peruvian operations to the Benavides-led local subsidiary, which has its hands on both the cash flow from the mine and the bridge loan sitting in the bank. Tellingly, Pinto has never been to Ollachea. Worse, the local subsidiary is benefitting from the increasing lack of transparency, as Minera IRL devolves further and further away from being a publicly traded company run to international standards, and morphs into a private fiefdom of a few well-connected Peruvians.

The extraordinary general meeting to be held in Toronto on Nov. 26 is the last chance for Minera IRL Ltd. to be rescued as a viable public company by its current slate of directors. If the Benavides-led group wins the day, Minera IRL Ltd. will quietly disappear into Peru’s mountains and jungles as the potential riches of the Ollachea gold project are squandered, and the town of Ollachea will ineluctably return to its centuries-long roots as a small-minded artisanal mining community, rather than an emerging modern mining camp.

LEGAL ANALYSIS

| Court says the case should be heard in Guatemala

BY KEVIN O’CALLAGHAN, DANI BRYANT AND ZACH ROMANO Special to The Northern Miner

O

n Nov. 10, 2015, the British Columbia Supreme Court (BCSC) declined jurisdiction and stayed the plaintiff ’s action in Garcia v. Tahoe Resources Inc., 2015 BCSC 2045, in which seven Guatemalan citizens attempted to sue the Canadian parent company of a Guatemalan subsidiary for a shooting. The shooting was allegedly committed by private security personnel employed at a mine in southeast Guatemala.

Case Background Tahoe Resources is a mining company incorporated under the laws of B.C. Tahoe conducts its annual general meeting in Vancouver, B.C., but is headquartered in Reno, Nev. Tahoe has no officers or employees in B.C. Three of Tahoe’s directors reside in B.C, two reside in Ontario and the majority reside in Reno.

Tahoe’s subsidiary, Minera San Rafael S.A. (MSR), owns the Escobal mine in San Rafael Las Flores, Guatemala. On June 18, 2014, seven Guatemalan men commenced legal action in B.C. against Tahoe for injuries they suffered when they were allegedly shot at close range by Tahoe security personnel while protesting peacefully on the road outside the gates of the Escobal mine.

The plaintiffs alleged that Tahoe was liable — either directly or vicariously — for battery, and directly for negligence. The plaintiffs plead that Tahoe expressly or implicitly authorized the use of excessive force by its security guards or, in the alternative, was negligent in preventing or failing to prevent the security guards from using excessive force. The plaintiffs claimed that Tahoe owed them a duty of care since it knew that the security personnel failed to adhere to Tahoe and MSR’s corporate social responsibility policies, and was aware of the internationally accepted standards on the use of private security personnel to which Tahoe had committed.

On July 9, 2014, Tahoe filed a jurisdictional challenge, seeking to have the court exercise its discretion to refuse to hear the case and stay the proceeding. The jurisdictional challenge was filed on the basis that the case is more appropriately tried in Guatemala, where the actions in question took place.

T

BCSC Decision he court sided with Tahoe, holding that Guatemala is clearly the more appropriate forum to determine the issues in dispute. In reaching this decision, the court found the following factors persuasive: • None of the evidence relating to the events alleged in the notice of civil claim is located in B.C. • Both the alleged battery and the alleged breach of the duty of care on the part of Tahoe occurred in Guatemala, or possibly Nevada.

• All of the plaintiffs reside in Guatemala, where their injuries

and losses occurred.

• None of the plaintiffs speak English. All of the records required to assess their claims for damages are in Guatemala, and most, if not all, are in Spanish. Most, if not all, of the witnesses will have to travel to Vancouver from Guatemala and Reno, and many will only speak Spanish. Obtaining and translating evidence would be inconvenient and considerably lengthen the trial.

• Tahoe is incorporated in B.C. but does not carry on its operations in the province. The majority of Tahoe’s management and staff, who might be called as witnesses, live and work in Reno, Nev. The majority of Tahoe’s documents will be in Nevada.

• All of MSR’s employees are resident in Guatemala or Reno, and MSR carries on business in Guatemala.

• Both Tahoe and MSR could be held vicariously liable under Guatemala law. Despite any imperfections of the Guatemalan justice system, the remedies sought by the plaintiffs are available in Guatemala.

• Since litigation has already been commenced in Guatemala seeking damages arising out of the same incident (despite Tahoe not currently being a party to that proceeding), there is risk of duplicative proceedings or conflicting decisions if the British Columbia Supreme Court were to take jurisdiction.

• There is no evidence to suggest that the plaintiffs would not be able to enforce a foreign judgment awarded by a Guatemalan court in B.C. The plaintiffs’ claim against Tahoe attempted to find Tahoe directly liable, either by piercing the corporate veil or in negligence — a novel legal claim that that has yet to be tested in Canadian courts. The plaintiffs argued that they would not be able to advance such claims against Tahoe in Guatemala. Though the BCSC did not need to address the merits of these claims, the court did note that it was “far from clear” that such a claim would succeed.

Conclusion This case reflects recent efforts in Canada to pursue the novel claim of parent company responsibility for the actions of its subsidiaries overseas. Although the court in this case held that it is “far from clear” that such a claim would succeed, it remains to be seen whether — in circumstances where Canadian jurisdiction was accepted — a Canadian court would hold a Canadian parent company liable in negligence, or by piercing the corporate veil for alleged wrongdoings committed by a foreign subsidiary.

Lucara finds 1,111-carat diamond in Botswana MAKING HISTORY

Teck cuts jobs, dividend MET COAL

| Miner eyes $650M in savings next year

D

iversified miner Teck Resources (TSX: TCK.B; NYSE: TCK) is slashing jobs and lowering its dividend to protect its liquidity amid the commodity price collapse.

The senior producer of metallurgical coal, copper and zinc employs 10,000 but will cut another 1,000 positions across its global offices, operations and senior management.

This will bring its total reductions to 2,000 in the past 18 months.

To keep its financial flexibility, Teck aims to reduce total spending in 2016 by $650 million. Of that, $350 million will be in capital expenditures and deferrals, and $300 million in operating savings.

“Active cost reduction is an appropriate and generally welcome response during commodity price downturns,” BMO analyst Aleksandra Bukacheva notes.

Teck is also suspending its phase two extension at the Coal Mountain mine in B.C., with mining at the operation expected to wrap up in late 2017. Teck could replace phase two’s estimated annual coal production of 2.3 million tonnes by optimizing output at its five other steelmaking-coal mines in Canada.

Shelving the Coal Mountain extension was largely anticipated after Teck implemented three-week rotat-

ing shutdowns at its metallurgical coal mines in July, noting it would take more action in the fourth quarter if market conditions didn’t turn for the better.

Teck has lowered its semi-annual dividend for December to 5¢ per share, down from 15¢ per share in July. This is the second dividend cut this year, after decreasing its July payout to 15¢ per share from 45¢ earlier, Raymond James’ analyst Mike Plaster says.

“The dividend cut and further cost reduction efforts aren’t really a surprise, given the continued price weakness for met coal and other commodities,” he adds.

Although Plaster expected another dividend cut, he assumed Teck — after generating $1 billion

in cash from the recent streaming deals on the Antamina and Carmen de Andacollo mines — would delay until 2016.

Plaster and Bukacheva agree it was a prudent move, and could save Teck $110 million to $115 million annually.

Bukacheva says the cost savings could protect Teck’s margin from more commodity price declines and improve its balance sheet, as it develops the Fort Hills oilsands project in Alberta.

At the end of the third quarter, Teck had $1.8 billion in cash, and $1.5 billion left as its minority share of construction costs at Fort Hills.

While Teck is set to release its 2016 capital budget in February, Bukacheva notes she previously forecasted capital spending next year of $1.8 billion, which is $300 million below 2015.

Given the announced $350-million cut, she says the company’s 2016 capital budget could be in line with her estimate. Plaster estimated Teck’s original 2016 budget would be higher at $2.2 billion.

Both analysts remain cautious of Teck’s valuation in the low commodity-priced environment. Bukacheva has a $9 target price and a “market perform” rating, while Plaster has a $10.50 target and a “hold” recommendation. TNM

| Junior recovers world’s secondand sixth-largest stones at Karowe

ucara Diamond (TSX: LUC; US-OTC: LUCRF) has made history by unearthing the second-largest diamond ever found in the world from its flagship Karowe diamond mine in Botswana.

The find — a 1,111-carat gemquality, Type-IIa diamond — is the largest diamond recovered on record in more than 100 years, following the 3,106-carat Cullinan diamond, discovered in 1905 in South Africa.

“The news is not just exciting for us, it seems to be exceptionally exciting for both the investment community as well as the diamond sector,” CEO William Lamb said on a conference call.

Emphasizing the rarity of the discovery, Lamb noted that in the past 100 years, there have been 4 to 5 billion carats discovered, with no diamond surpassing 1,000 carats.

“This is truly significant if you look at the probability and statistical numbers associated with this recovery,” he says.

Put t i ng a pr ice tag on t he 1,111-carat diamond is “really not possible,” as it is almost twice the size of any other gem-quality stone previously sold through a public company, Lamb said.

The debt-free company, which ended September with a US$123million cash position, is in no hurry to sell the diamond. It still needs to analyze the stone, before deciding how to best market and sell it to maximize value.

Despite the perceived weakness in rough diamond prices, the appetite for large stones remains strong. A high-quality, 300-carat stone that would fetch up to US$60,000 to US$65,000 per carat two to three

years ago would sell for the same price today, Lamb said.

“I’m already getting emails that say: ‘Is the stone for sale?’ which is a great thing to see, because it just shows there is definitely demand for this type of stone.”

A day after announcing the discovery, the company reported finding two more large white diamonds from its Karowe mine, weighing 813 carats and 374 carats before cleaning. “The 813-carat diamond actually sits at number six on the list of the largest gem-quality stones ever recovered,” Lamb said.

All three stones are from Karowe’s South Lobe and were recovered through the new large diamondrecovery XRT machines, which can retrieve stones of up to 90 mm. The 1,111-carat diamond measures 65 by 56 by 40 mm.

BMO analyst Edward Sterck concedes it is difficult to estimate the value of the “extraordinary diamond,” considering the valuation depends on the stone’s colour, clarity, cut and polish.

In July, Lucara sold a 341.9-carat, Type-IIa diamond for US$20.6 million — or roughly US$60,000 a carat — in its first special tender of the year. In 2010, Petra Diamonds (LSE: PDL) sold a 507-carat white diamond for US$35 million, or US$69,000 a carat.

“The bigger the diamond, the more it is worth per carat,” Salman Partners analyst Raymond Goldie writes. “Big stones can pay the rent for months [or maybe years, in Karowe’s case].”

Lucara closed Nov. 23 at $2.15, after gaining 49¢, or 30%, after the previous week’s discoveries. TNM

Lucara Diamond has pulled out a massive diamond from the south lobe of its Karowe mine in Botswana. The stone weights 1,111 carats and is classified as a Type-IIa gemquality diamond. Measuring 65 x 56 x 40 mm, Lucara says it is the second-largest gem-quality diamond ever recovered. LUCARA DIAMOND

Cliffs shutters Northshore amid weak iron ore demand

C

liffs Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF), the largest U.S.based iron ore producer, is temporarily closing its Northshore Mining operation in Minnesota by Dec. 1, to reduce its record-high iron ore inventory levels amid weaker iron ore demand in the U.S., and globally.

The company will lay off most of its 540 employees at the Northshore iron ore mine in Babbitt and taconite pellet processing plant in Silver Bay. The Cleveland-headquartered producer intends to keep 70 employees through the shutdown, expected to last until March 2016.

It will retain another 20 employees through January to help ship the remaining pellets, Cliffs’ director of corporate communications Patricia Persico says.

Northshore is the second opera-

STEEL DUMPING

| 540 employees in Minnesota left in the lurch

“THE DOMESTIC PRODUCERS ARE JUST NOT PRODUCING STEEL, AND OUR PRODUCT GOES INTO STEELMAKING — THE IRON ORE PELLETS.” PATRICIA PERSICO DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS, CLIFFS NATURAL RESOURCES

tion in Minnesota Cliffs has temporarily closed in recent months. In August the miner halted its United Taconite operation, comprising the mine in Eveleth and processing plant in Forbes. The move affected 420 employees.

“We’ve got a lot of inventory on the ground,” Persico says, explaining that an influx of foreign steel in the U.S. — due to slowed growth in China — has flooded the market with steel.

“The domestic producers are just not producing steel, and our product goes into steelmaking — the iron ore pellets.” As a result, Cliffs’ domestic steelmaking customers have reduced their demand, leaving the company with a seasonally high level of pellet inventory.

Cliffs expects to idle both the Northshore and United Taconite operations through the first quarter of 2016.

It notes that restarting operations

will depend on market conditions and the outcome of the trade cases that six U.S.-based steelmakers have filed against several countries — including China, India, Italy, South Korea and Taiwan — for “dumping” steel at below-market prices into the U.S. “As soon as the unfairly traded steel problem subsides and domestic steel production recovers to normal levels, we will immediately ramp-up iron ore pellet production by bringing idled capacity back to operation,” Cliffs’ chairman Lourenco Goncalves said in a press release.

Cliffs will continue to operate its Hibbing Taconite mine in Minnesota and the Tilden and Empire iron ore mines in Michigan at normal rates.

While Cliffs’ cost expectations this year are unchanged, it is lower-

ing its 2016 cost guidance despite reducing tonnage.

It expects cash production costs of US$50 to US$55 per ton and cash cost of goods sold to range between US$60 and US$65 per ton next year. This includes US$9 million per month in idling costs for the Northshore and United Taconite mines.

Cliffs — whose Canadian iron ore subsidiary filed for bankruptcy in January — has tightened its purse strings while iron ore prices plunge due to oversupply and weak Chinese demand.

In November, iron ore prices fell to a four-month low of US$47 per tonne, down from US$75 per tonne a year ago.

Cliffs shares fell 12% to finish Nov. 17 at US$2.36, on 8.3 million shares traded. The company's share price has fallen 66% year-to-date. TNM

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / NOVEMBER 13–19 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index dropped 3.28 points en route to a 520.65-point weekly close. Canadian markets are finding it hard to generate positive momentum amid a prolonged slump in commodity prices.

Meanwhile, Statistics Canada reported retail sales fell 0.5% in September to $43 billion, and industrial production struggled for a second straight month, after registering a 0.2% decline in October. In international economic news, the Federal Reserve reported that U.S. manufacturing output rose 0.4% last month.

December contracts for gold bullion hit a four-month low after dropping US$4.40 en route to a US$1,076.40 per oz. close. January contracts for West Texas Intermediate lost US35¢ before fi nishing at US$40.39 per barrel. Copper futures took another beating, as March contracts for the red metal lost 5%, or US11.6¢, en route to a US$2.05 per lb. close.

Honey Badger Exploration led the volumetraded category after releasing a field update at its LG Diamonds project in the James Bay region of Quebec. The company saw over 9 million shares change hands before it closed up 1¢, at 2¢ per share.

On Nov. 19 Honey Badger reported that it had done a “preliminary analysis” of historic

geophysical data at LG, with seven potential kimberlite targets on the property. The company says anomalies LG-2, LG-13 and LG-23 are “high-priority” targets due to “circular shapes, steep walls and shallow depths that are characteristic of kimberlites.” The targets coincide with kimberlite indicators found in nearby lake sediments.

Nighthawk Gold had a busy week after reporting a private placement valued at $850,000. The company lost 2¢ on 5.8 million shares traded, before closing at 5¢ per share.

U.S. MARKETS / NOVEMBER 13–19 U.S. equities gained after the Federal Reserve signalled a possible December rate hike at its last policy meeting, suggesting the U.S. economy is getting stronger. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.6% to finish at 17,448.07, the S&P 500 Index climbed 1.7% to 2,081.24 and the Nasdaq Composite Index closed relatively flat at 5,073.64. The gold spot price in New York, however, dipped US$3.20 per oz. to US$1,081.80.

Mexico-focused producer First Majestic Silver added nearly 6% to finish at US$2.98 per share. Quarterly revenues were US$44.7 million, up 10% from the same period last year. Net loss was US$1.8 million, or US1¢ per share, compared to a US9¢-per-share loss in 2014. Adjusted loss came in at US6¢ per share, slightly ahead of analysts’ estimates of negative US8¢ per share. Total production was relatively flat at 3.56 million equivalent oz. silver. Compared to last year cash costs dropped 16% to US$8.77 per oz. silver, and all-in sustaining costs fell 28% to US$14.41. As part of its cost-cutting, First Majestic laid off 180 personnel, and could lay off more by yearend. It narrowed its annual silver-equivalent guidance to 15.7 to 15.9 million oz., compared

to 15.3 to 17.1 million oz. It intends to make only low-cost ounces to boost free cash flow from operations.

Rubicon Minerals shares slid more, dropping 22% to US13¢. In early November the company suspended underground development at its Phoenix gold project in Ontario, after trial stoping revealed a complex F2 gold deposit. After the suspension Rubicon reduced its workforce by 87%, or 310 personnel. On Nov. 12, it posted a third-quarter net loss of $29.4 million, or 7¢ per share, compared to last year’s loss of $25 million, or 7¢ per share.

US$2.45 per share after announcing it would temporarily shut its Northshore Mining operation in Minnesota by Dec. 1 to lower its inventory, as iron ore demand has declined.

The closure will put most of the 540 employees at Northshore at risk. This is the second iron

ore operation in Minnesota that the company has recently closed. It took the United Taconite operation offline in August. Cliffs expects to keep both operations closed throughout the first quarter of 2016, noting the restart will largely depend on market conditions.

Kirkland Lake Gold, St Andrew Goldfields join forces

The headframe at St Andrew Goldfields’ flagship Holt gold mine, 53 km east of Timmins, Ontario, which operates at a rate of 1,300 tonnes per day. ST ANDREW GOLDFIELDS KIRKLAND LAKE From 1

US$600 and US$690 per oz.

The combined production “puts us in a unique peer group with attractive cash costs,” Duncan Middlemiss, St Andrew Goldfields’ president and CEO, said on the conference call. “To be part of a new company with tremendous torque and growth potential is compelling.”

The transaction, which has already received support from 35% of St Andrew Goldfields’ common shareholders, will create a company with a balance sheet of more than $100 million in cash, along with a sustainable production platform, and exploration upside. For shareholders of Kirkland Lake Gold, the arrangement will lift proven and probable gold reserves more than 50% to 2.3 million oz. in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.

St Andrew Goldfields has three producing mines — Holt, Holloway and Taylor — and the junior controls a chunk of exploration ground along the Porcupine-Destor fault zone.

“The combined land positions of both companies position us well for discoveries in two of Canada’s most prolific mining camps,” George Ogilvie, Kirkland Lake Gold’s president and CEO, said on the conference call. “It gives a substantial boost to our level of resources and reserves, and gives us access to a 120 km strike length of under-explored land along the Porcupine-Destor fault.”

St Andrew Goldfields’ Middlemiss — who worked as mine manager at Kirkland Lake Gold’s Macassa mine before joining St Andrew Goldfields in 2008 — said the transaction “feels right to me for a number of reasons.” The offer price is at a significant premium, he explained, and St Andrew Goldfields’ shareholders will retain exposure to the company’s assets while gaining exposure to Kirkland Lake Gold’s high-grade Macassa mine.

The business combination also brings greater trading liquidity, more analyst coverage, combined cash flow and improved access to debt markets.

“St Andrew Goldfields has been around for over 30 years, and some of our employees have been with us for quite a while,” Middlemiss said. “They’ve seen many ups and downs, and I’m sure they will agree with me that over the past five or

_TNM Nov 30 2015 pgs 1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16.indd 11

six years, we’ve been extremely proud of our accomplishments. This company has operated profitably, generated cash and recently brought Ontario’s newest gold mine [Taylor] into production, and on schedule.”

Kirkland Lake Gold’s Ogilvie pointed to synergies at the corporate and operational level, and said the economies of scale will create opportunities with the companies’ suppliers of common materials, among others, and said the plan of action over the next couple of months will be to focus on the integration plan, and give details in early 2016.

“The transaction is accretive not only on a net asset value basis, but on a cash flow and production basis as well,” he said. “This combination will add three producing mines close to our operations. We see a number of potential cost-saving synergies, not just in corporate general and administrative expenses — but when we look at economies of scale and a shared labour pool, there’s a lot of upside left.”

Under the agreement, shareholders of St Andrew Goldfields will receive 0.0906 of one common share of Kirkland Lake Gold, which is a 46% premium based on both companies’ 20-day, volume-weighted average prices, and a 25% premium to St Andrew Goldfields’ closing price on Nov. 16.

After the deal Kirkland Lake Gold will own 71% of the company and St Andrew Goldfields will own 29%. Kirkland Lake Gold’s assets are in the Kirkland Lake gold camp in the lower Abitibi greenstone belt of northeastern Ontario. The company owns five former high-grade gold mines that have produced more than 22 million oz., at an average grade of 15.1 grams gold per tonne.

The company only operates one of the five: the Macassa mine complex. The operation includes the new South mine complex, and produces 150,000 oz. gold a year.

St Andrew Goldfields’ Taylor mine, 68 km west of the company’s Holt mill and 53 km east of Timmins, started commercial production in November. Its Holloway and Holt mines — which are 1 km apart — straddle the Destor-Porcupine deformation zone, 45 km northeast of Kirkland Lake.

Holt, built by Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX), is St Andrew Goldfields’ flagship asset, with a

“I DON’T NECESSARILY KNOW IF WE ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COMMODITY CYCLE FOR GOLD, BUT IT CERTAINLY FEELS LIKE WE’RE IN THE BOTTOM 5%, SO IF THERE IS EVER THE TIME TO BUY SOMETHING ACCRETIVE, NOW IS THE TIME TO LOOK.” GEORGE OGILVIE PRESIDENT & CEO, KIRKLAND LAKE GOLD

1,300-tonne-per-day production rate and a remaining mine life of eight years, based on reserves.

Holloway was built by Noranda, and at a production rate of 600 tonnes per day, could produce gold until well into 2017. Ore from both mines is processed at the Holt Mill, which has a 3,000-tonne-per-day capacity. In addition, St Andrew Goldfields owns the Hislop mine, 85 km west of the Holt mill, which is on care and maintenance. It also has a number of exploration properties, including Aquarius, Clavos, Ludgate and Canamax.

The largest shareholders in St Andrew Goldfields are the Abramson family and Trapeze Asset Management. Kirkland Lake Gold’s major shareholders include Resolute Funds (10%); Eric Sprott (9%); Columbia Wanger Asset Management LLC (8%); Equinox Partners (7%); Van Eck Associates (5%); Harry Dobson (4%); Sprott Asset Management (4%); and ABC Funds (2%). Kirk-

land Lake Gold has $88.5 million in cash and $119.5 million in debt.

The merger plan was conceived in April at the European Gold Forum in Zurich, Ogilvie says in a telephone interview after the conference call.

That was when he and Middlemiss struck up a conversation. Ogilvie approached his board and the two companies signed a confidentiality agreement on July 4.

“We looked at this not so much as an acquisition but as a partnership, so St Andrew allowed us to access their database and visit their site, and we also gave them reciprocal due diligence on ourselves ... they came to our site, so we got comfortable with one another.”

Kirkland Lake then had the opportunity to make a corporate presentation to their board and to Herb Abramson.

“We made a good busi ness case that pro forma, together as a company, we were much stronger, provided we could satisfy ev-

eryone that there were no major showstoppers, and that we could come out with a fair evaluation for both parties.” The due diligence continued until the companies were in a position to negotiate a non-binding letter of intent in early October, which gave each three weeks of exclusivity for greater due diligence.

Ogilvie says that in the current gold price environment, “this should be the point and time that you should at least consider mergers and acquisitons (M&A) ... I don’t necessarily know if we are at the bottom of the commodity cycle for gold, but it certainly feels like we’re in the bottom 5%, so if there is ever the time to buy something accretive, now is the time to look.

And if you can act on M&A, and make a deal, in two or three or four years’ time, when the gold price runs, you can look back and say that it was a transformational deal.” TNM

ust a few months after Bacanora Minerals (TSXV: BCN) and Rare Earth Minerals (LSE: REM) signed a deal with Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) to supply the carmaker with lithium hydroxide from their Sonora lithium project in Mexico, the companies have raised US$13.4 million in a private placement.

The proceeds will be used for a bankable feasibility study of the project — 180 km northeast of Hermosillo — and towards upgrading and running a pilot plant in Hermosillo to make bulk quantities of lithium products for long-term offtake parties.

Bacanora says previous testwork of the lithium carbonate from the pilot plant has made high-quality lithium carbonate for initial offtake

discussions. News of the financing sent Bacanora’s shares down 13¢, or 7.3%, to finish at $1.65.

A prefeasibility study of the Sonora lithium project could get underway in the first half of 2016. Colin Orr-Ewing, Bacanora’s chairman, said in a press release that “to have successfully raised funds — during what continues to be a challenging environment for commodities in general — highlights the attractive dynamics of the lithium market, thanks to the metal’s key role in innovative and fast-growing industries such as mobile communications and electric cars.”

The Sonora lithium project has 1,000 sq. km of ground in northeastern Sonora state, with an indicated resource of 1.1 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE)

in 95 million tonnes of clay averaging 2,200 parts per million (PPM) lithium. Inferred resources add 6.3 million tonnes of LCE averaging 2,300 ppm contained in 500 million tonnes of clay.

Under the placement announced on Nov. 16, 11.5 million common shares were priced at 77 pence per share. Rare Earth Minerals, one of Bacanora’s largest existing shareholders, acquired 1.97 million shares to keep its 17% interest in the company. In addition to pre-existing shareholders, the placement also attracted the companies’ first major institutional shareholder.

Bacanora describes its Sonora project as “one of the largest” lithium resources in the world.” It is made up of Bacanora’s wholly owned La Ventana lithium concession; the El

Sauz and Fleur concessions, which are held by Mexilit S.A. de C.V.; and the Megalit concession, which is held

by Megalit S.A. de C.V. Bacanora owns 70% of Mexilit and Megalist, and REM owns 30%.

The partners are working to develop the mineral-rich, lithiumbearing clay deposit into a planned low-cost mining operation. The company estimated in August that the mine and processing facility would have an initial production capacity of 35,000 tonnes of lithium compounds, with scaling potential of up to 50,000 tonnes per year.

The partners anticipate producing both lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate from the mine. Lithium hydroxide is a key feedstock material in making certain lithium-ion battery cells.

Under the conditional agreement with Tesla in August, the carmaker will buy the lithium hydroxide to feed the manufacturing of batteries at its Gigafactory in Nevada. The supply agreement has a five-year term starting from the date of Tesla’s first order, and Tesla can extend the deal for another five years.

During the first five years, Tesla will buy agreed minimum tonnages, with estimated maximum deliveries determined after delivering production orders.

Tesla will buy minimum quantities in accordance with a pricing formula below current market pricing, with actual prices and volumes that can only be fi nalized during development. The forecast tonnages and delivery dates will coincide with Tesla’s Gigafactory production. TNM

COPPER EXPLORATION

or any junior to entice a major to earn into an exploration project is impressive. To repeat that success with a different major on a separate set of concessions, and at a dismal time in the markets, is striking. Reservoir Minerals (TSXV: RMC; US-OTC: RVRLF) has done both.

Since 2010, Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) has earned a 55% interest in Reservoir’s high-grade Timok project in eastern Serbia’s Timok copper-gold magmatic complex, and will own 75% once it completes a bankable feasibility study.

The partners discovered the Cukaru Peki deposit, which has returned remarkable drill results, including an intercept in July measuring 84 metres of 10.8% copper and 10.86 grams gold, including 46 metres of 15.9% copper and 16.77 grams gold.

Freeport has committed US$18.7 million to exploration this year at Cukaru Peki, which has high sul-

area Reservoir is exploring in Serbia “will prove to be one of the greatest mineral provinces globally,” and that “recent drilling has demonstrated some of the [most] impressive grades of copper we have ever seen.”

Raymond Goldie of Salman Partners in Toronto, describe the Rio Tinto JV as “admirable,” noting that not only is it “an attestation of the value of Cukaru Peki itself, and of any satellite deposits that might be discovered in the Timok district, but also of the ability of Reservoir’s management to squeeze money out of Rio Tinto in today’s tough financial environment.”

The four permits cover a combined area of 265.6 sq. km in the Timok magmatic complex, with Nikolicevo and Kraljevica in the east and Coka Kupjatra and Tilva Njagra in the west.

In an exploration update on all its properties across Serbia, Romania and Macedonia, Reservoir described the Nikolicevo and Kraljevica permits as “prospective for both Cukaru Peki and Bor district styles of porphyry and high sulphidation epithermal massive sulphide mineralization.” (The Bor district is home to the worldclass Bor-Majdanpek mining and smelting complex.)

Reservoir says the Nikolicevo permit contains “the same late Cretaceous andesite volcanic sequence that hosts the Cukaru Peki coppergold mineralization,” while in the Kraljevica permit, 2 km south of Nikolicevo, the geology is dominated by “Miocene clastic and recent alluvium sequences overlying late Cretaceous volcanics, and outcrops of basement Jurassic and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks and locally Palaeozoic granitoid rocks in the south of the permit.”

The company says the Coka Kupjatra and Tilva Njagra exploration permits are prospective for epithermal (high- and low-sulphidation) gold, and porphyry and skarn copper-gold mineralization. TNM

ranium prices have taken a beating over the past few years, but Australia-based Bannerman Resources (TSX: BAN; US-OTC: BNNLF) hasn’t lost faith in its wholly owned Etango openpit asset, 38 km from the coastal town of Swakopmund in Namibia.

In fact, the company has taken the past three years — since U3O8 prices tanked in 2012 — to optimize the project, and the future looks bright.

On Nov. 10, Bannerman released an optimized feasibility study on Etango that marks the first economic update at the project since 2012.

Uranium mineralizaton at the site occurs within a stacked sequence of leucogranitic sheets that have intruded the host Damara sequence of metasedimentary rocks. Uranium-bearing minerals are mainly uraninite and uranothorite, within granitic intrusions.

Etango is considered one of the world’s largest undeveloped uranium plays, with 303 million tonnes of proven and probable reserves at a grade of 0.0195% U3O8 for 130 million contained lb. U3O8. Indicated resources tack on another 362 million tonnes at 0.0188% U3O8, for 150 million contained lb. U3O8.

Much of the optimization in the study comes from a better understanding of Etango’s geology.

The company has kept planned plant throughput at 20,000 tonnes per day, while holding mine life steady at 15 years. But Bannerman has dropped costs across the board.

The open-pit operation would cost US$793 million to develop, and produce 7.2 million lb. U3O8 annually, at cash costs of US$38 per lb.

“Etango has really withstood the test of time. Not only has it grown in terms of resources and reserves — we’ve improved the project across all facets,” CEO Len Jubber said during a conference call.

“We’ve exploited the resource in a more scientific way, reduced our cash-operating costs and boosted annual production, without compromising our mine life,” he said.

“As we raise our profi le over the next few months, people will acknowledge it as a viable source of uranium for years to come.”

The company dropped its cut-off grade to 0.0055% U3O8 and altered its pit design to lower Etango’s life-ofmine stripping ratio 15% to 2.78:1.

months of mining, and a variable cut-off grade strategy will increase grades during the early years of production. Around 40 million tonnes of lower-grade ore would be stockpiled for processing near the end of Etango’s life.

The optimized study features an after-tax net present value of US$419 million at an 8% discount rate, along with a 15% internal rate of return. Bannerman’s base case assumes US$75 per lb. U3O8, and defines a “break-even” price point at US$50 per lb. (The current spot price is US$36 per lb. U3O8.)

“The optimization is based on the proven practice of radiometric scanning. We’ve spent time working with this large deposit, and the key driver is scanning the content of a haul truck — and therefore your standard mining unit is one-truck payload,” Jubber said.

“That’s unique in the mining space, since we’re able to measure to get our grade control optimized.

We flowed that into the mine scheduling to fully exploit variable cut-off strategies throughout the life-ofmine. It’s an example of using proven techniques in a systematic way to de-risk project planning.”

Bannerman acknowledges that Etango will need an improved uranium market to hit production, but management notes that half of 2020 uranium demand is uncovered, while “current price levels remain insufficient to incentivize adequate project development to meet demand forecasts.”

Bannerman is at least taking a

conservative approach to Etango’s development timeline. The company will continue what it calls “value engineering” through the first quarter of 2016, while monitoring its heapleach demonstration plant. Current models assume an 86% recovery rate. Construction could begin at Etango by the second half of 2017, but would not hit full production until early 2020.

“The big question is: ‘How do we move forward with the project today?’ In simple language, our momentum depends on how uranium prices behave moving forward,” Jubber said. “We look to progress the demonstration plant over the next six months, and a focus will be to raise our profile in terms of uranium marketing and project financing. We need to move the project upward in terms of recognition, because we’re well positioned to benefit when the uranium market recovers with a real world-class project.”

Bannerman shares have traded in a 52-week range of 2.5¢ to 8.5¢, and last closed at 3.5¢ per share.

The company reported cash and equivalents of $1 million at the end of September, and has 388 million shares outstanding for a $13.6-million market capitalization. TNM
