L Mining industry players at the Northern Miner's "New Frontiers in Mining Finance" roundtable discussion on Oct. 5 in Toronto.

“THE BOTTOM LINE IS MILLENNIALS ARE READY. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE FUNDING FOR MINING IN THE FUTURE.”

ndustry leaders weighed in on alternative financing at The Northern Miner’s roundtable discussion titled “New Frontiers in Mining Finance,” held in the offices of Newport Private Wealth in Toronto in early October. The roundtable, sponsored

by PearTree Securities and moderated

by Northern Miner publisher Anthony Vaccaro, augments the Miner’s independent research on this topic that will be published in full next month.

Vaccaro kicked off the discussion by asking about the new realities for mining companies when it comes to raising funds.

“The normal is gone,” said Oscar Jofre, CEO and founder of KoreConX, which provides an infrastructure platform for equity crowdfunding.

“You can’t look at the same way you

did business before. You have to look at it differently.”

Rod Thomas, president of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, maintains the framework for juniors to access capital is “somewhat broken.” PDAC is urging the Canadian government to encourage investments in the mining sector through contin-

ued and more robust tax breaks for exploration companies and investors, among other initiatives.

Given the structurally challenged capital markets, Haywood Securities’ vice-president and senior analyst Kerry Smith says companies will get more creative with financings.

“Crowdfunding or these smaller fi-

nancings, I think, will have to be a way for guys to get capital to be able to commit to a project in the development stage or concept.”

Crowdfunding, which allows companies to raise capital by accessing a large group of people via the Internet, raised $65 billion worldwide in 2014.

It’s time for mining companies to capitalize on this opportunity, Jofre said.

But as recent history in mine finance shows, change takes time. Silver Wheaton (TSX: SLW; NYSE: SLW) CEO Randy Smallwood spent a decade promoting streaming as a financing option, with the idea only recently catching on in a big way. “It’s been ten years of trying to convince everyone that this isn’t a magic black box,” Smallwood said. “It’s been a battle.”

He lamented the mining industry is traditional in its ways, making it tough to introduce new ideas.

However, once these notions are

ow crude oil prices have driven market valuations in the energy industry to historic lows, and Suncor Energy (TSX: SU; NYSE: SU) is hoping to take advantage of the downcycle with a hostile bid for Canadian Oil Sands (TSX: COS; USOTC: COSWF).

On Oct. 5 Suncor offered 0.25 of a share for each Canadian Oil share tendered, which equates to $8.83 per share, or $4.3 billion.

“THAT HEROIN [SHORT-TERM CAPITAL] ALWAYS LEADS TO BAD OUTCOMES.” DAVID HARQUAIL PRESIDENT AND CEO, FRANCO-NEVADA

accepted, people might wonder what took so long.

Referring to crowdfunding, Chad Williams, Red Cloud Mining Capital’s CEO, said that “in some ways, it sort of reminds me of the Wright brothers.

Nobody was sure that the plane was going to fly. But when it did, it seemed obvious to everyone in retrospect.”

However, Franco-Nevada (TSX: FNV; NYSE: FNV) CEO David Harquail was less enthusiastic about shortterm fi nancings. The mining sector, he said, needs “long-term, patient capital” brought in by such vehicles as royalties to develop mining projects through the commodities cycle. He

believes pension funds may become more involved in the industry as a long-term source of capital.

Harquail pointedly described shortterm capital as “heroin,” explaining that it will leave the industry in worse shape after the initial euphoria, recalling the last time institutional capital flooded into the sector on the back of higher commodity prices, and many companies took on expensive, nowuneconomic projects. “That heroin always leads to bad outcomes,” he said.

Balmoral Resources (TSX: BAR; US-OTC: BALMF) CEO Darin Wagner noted this boom period is over, and the mining industry is back to where “there is no easy money.” But now companies have more financing alternatives.

Expounding on the array of options, Ian Ball, CEO of Abitibi Royalties (TSXV: RZZ; US-OTC: ATBYF), suggested firms could pay more attention to rights offerings as a source of nondilutive capital, explaining the Toronto Stock Exchange has made it easier to do so. “If you want to go raise a little bit of capital, I think you should go to your shareholders first, who have been supportive of the company,” he said.

Andrew Farncomb, managing partner at Cairn Merchant Partners, says private equity firms will likely play an important role in funding projects, as they will often finance a project to production.

Vaccaro noted the Miner's new reader survey found participants had the most confidence in private equity, and used this alternative the most in the past 12 months. Respondents expected capital raised through private equity would increase the most after royalties and streaming.

While firms like the idea of accessing long-term funds from a small group of individuals, David Thomas, managing director of the Canadian arm of

Resource Capital Funds, cautioned that private equity may not suit all firms or their management teams.

He said private equity fi rms are active investors and often take seats on boards, modify management teams, provide input on budgets and have rights to protect their investments from dilution.

“At the end of the day, there’s not one solution that fits all,” Iamgold’s (TSX: IMG; NYSE: IAG) executive vice-president and chief financial officer Carol Banducci said. “It’s great that you have different opportunities to look at your business, and look at what makes sense for you, whether it’s traditional debt, equity or alternative financing arrangements.”

Earlier this year, Iamgold raised $50 million through a charity flow-through with PearTree Securities for its new Westwood gold mine in Quebec. “It was a great opportunity to access at a very attractive level that marketplace,” Banducci said.

Quebec-focused junior Balmoral has also made use of flow-through and charity flow-through financings, Wagner noted.

The Northern Miner survey, however, revealed participants thought charity flow-through financing was the alternate financing method least suited for mining, followed by crowdfunding, while private equity and flow-through financing ranked as the best two options in terms of perception.

Trent Mell, PearTree Securities’ president and head of mining, commented such views are likely due to the lack of familiarity about charity flow-through financing, as also shown in the survey.

“If you love traditional f lowthrough, you’re going to love charity f low-through,” Mell said. “It’s the same product but better,” as it benefits companies, investors and charities.

Under this structure, an investor/donor subscribes to flow-through shares, with both the company and donor receiving tax credits. The donor then gifts the shares to a registered charity, which sells them to an institutional investor to receive its funds, and write a tax receipt for the original donor.

Over the past three months, Liam Fitzgerald, PwC’s Canadian mining leader, said he has had over 60 conversations with clients about alternative financings, because they want to understand the different models. “It’s a big education process that we’re going through,” he said, explaining clients want to make sure the method is tax neutral before they get to the advantages.

Another challenge in raising funds is the mining industry’s relatively limited investor base. Demographics play a role in the sector’s current malaise, Red Cloud’s Williams argued.

“As baby boomers get older, they are conserving capital and are unwilling to risk capital in more speculative industries like mining.”

Market research on Canadian millennials, currently aged 18 to 35, shows that the group is open to investing in mining, but don’t know a lot about the industry, Williams said. “The bottom line is that millennials are ready. And they are going to be an important part of the funding for mining in the future.” TNM

Suncor goes hostile SUNCOR From 1

Sands rebuffed his overtures.

The offer represents a 43% premium based on the companies’ closing prices at the time of the offer, and a 35% premium to Canadian Oil Sands’ 30-day, volume-weighted average trading price. Suncor also pointed out it would absorb $2.3 billion in debt, which would boost the transaction value to $6.6 billion.

If the deal closes, Canadian Oil Sands shareholders would own 7.7% of the combined company, while Suncor would also boost its ownership in the Syncrude Canada joint venture from 12% to nearly 49%.

Syncrude is a Canadian oilsands partnership that also includes Imperial Oil (TSX: IMO; NYSE-MKT: IMO), Mocal Energy, Murphy Oil (NYSE: MUR), Nexen Energy (TSX: NXY; NYSE: NXY) and China’s Sinopec Oil Sands.

“The industry has experienced a significant deterioration of market fundamentals, with crude futures pricing declining,” Williams pointed out. “The futures curve for oil would suggest that it may be several years before we regain the pricing levels we anticipated at the time of the first offer. In light of this structural change in the market, we believe the current offer represents a full and fair value. The outlook for markets is challenging, particularly for standalone producers such as [Canadian Oil Sands].

“WE BELIEVE THE CURRENT OFFER REPRESENTS A FULL AND FAIR VALUE.” STEVE WILLIAMS PRESIDENT AND CEO SUNCOR ENERGY

Canadian Oil Sands’ share price had dropped 53%, or $10.28, since early 2014 en route to a $6.19 close at the time of the takeover offer.

Suncor is already the leading integrated energy producer in Alberta, and the deal would boost its output from 580,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil to nearly 690,000 bpd, with over 80% of production from oilsands.

CFO Allister Cowan pointed out that Suncor has increased its dividend

every year since 2002, and generated over $700 million in free cash flow over the first half of 2015, despite investing $1.9 billion in “growth opportunities.”

The company is attempting to woo share tenders with the promise of a healthier balance sheet, as it keeps a net debt to capitalization ratio of 17%, compared to Canadian Oil’s 36% ratio.

“When oilsand prices are discounted, Suncor’s integrated downstream benefits through the purchase of discounted feedstock into its refineries,” Williams added to the pitch.

“By processing the discounted crude into f inished transpor tation fuels and selling those fuels at market price, [we] effectively capture a global price for oilsands crude production. In this way, our integrated downstream acts as a hedge against crude price differentials that hurt non-integrated oil producers such as [Canadian Oil Sands].”

BMO Capital Markets analyst Randy Ollenberger and CIBC analyst Arthur Grayfer both speculated that a competing bid could emerge due to the heavy discount on the offer.

Ollenberger noted that Imperial Oil may be the “most logical” candidate, though a number of the members of the Syncrude partnership could step forward.

On Oct. 5 Canadian Oil Sands’ board called Suncor’s offer “opportunistic,” and unanimously rejected it for “not being in the best interests of the company.”

Canadian Oil adopted a shareholder rights plan — or so-called “poison pill” — that will trigger if any party acquires 20% or more of its shares, while allowing current shareholders to buy stock at a discount.

The company also added a condition wherein it will have 120 days to consider any further offers.

Suncor shares have traded within a 52-week window of $30.89 to $40.93, and closed at 34.83 at press time. The company has 1.5 billion shares outstanding for a $50.7-billion market capitalization.

Meanwhile, shares of Canadian Oil jumped 41%, or $2.72, after news of the offer en route to a $9.30 close.

The company has 484 million shares outstanding for a $4.6-billion market capitalization. TNM

Amerigo secures new resource in old tailings CHILE COPPER

| Opex to fall below US$2 per lb

Amerigo Resources’ Cauquenes copper tailings project in Chile. AMERIGO RESOURCES

BY TRISH SAYWELL

A

tsaywell@northernminer.com

merigo Resources (TSX: ARG; US-OTC: ARREF) hasn’t lost much time since it cut a deal with Codelco in April 2014 to treat a new source of tailings from the miner’s El Teniente mine — the world’s largest underground copper operation — near Santiago, Chile.

Until now, the Vancouver-based company had processed fresh tailings from El Teniente and historic tailings from the mine’s Colihues tailings deposit. But on Sept. 24, after half a year of construction, Amerigo’s Chilean subsidiary, Minera Valle Central S.A. (MVC), started processing historic tailings from El Teniente’s Cauquenes storage area, next to Colihues, at a rate of 30,000 tonnes per day.

That number should rise to 60,000 tonnes per day, management predicts, after expanding the processing facility in the first phase for US$71 million, scheduled for this year's fourth quarter.

The company’s annual production from all three tailings sources at El Teniente will increase to 70 million lb. copper, Klaus Zeitler, Amerigo’s chairman and CEO, tells The Northern Miner.

“The agreement on Cauquenes and the extension of the fresh tailings contract is a game changer for Amerigo, because it allows MVC to double production and due to higher metal grades reduce operating costs to well below US$2 per lb. copper,” Zeitler writes in an email.

Cash costs are expected to decrease from US$2.08 per lb. in 2014 to US$1.75 per lb., according to a corporate presentation in July. (MVC trimmed cash costs from US$2.48 per lb. in 2012 to US$2.08 per lb. in 2014.)

After all phases of the expansion, the company estimates that annual copper production could rise to 90 million lb. at cash costs of US$1.50 per lb.

Over the next 15 to 20 years, Zeitler says, Cauquenes could add value to the company, which can process tailings from El Teniente until Dec. 31, 2037.

The MVC operation, in Region IV, 90 km south of Santiago and 8 km east of the city of Rancagua, produces copper and molybdenum concentrates by reprocessing El Teniente’s tailings.

The operation has generated positive cash flow every year since the plant was built in 1992.

Cauquenes contains 338 million tonnes grading 0.3% copper, which is higher grade than the nearby Colihues’ tailings, which average 0.2%.

Cauquenes’ material is also higher grade than the mine’s fresh tailings, which average 0.1% copper.

The Cauquenes expansion project is fully funded by a debt financing from a syndicate of banks led by Banco

“THE AGREEMENT ON CAUQUENES AND THE EXTENSION OF THE FRESH TAILINGS CONTRACT IS A GAME CHANGER FOR AMERIGO.” KLAUS ZEITLER EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, AMERIGO RESOURCES

Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (a multinational group providing financial services in over 31 countries), and Export Development Canada. The financing, completed in March, held up to US$64.4 million for construction, and another US$9 million in a value-added tax loan in Chilean pesos.

“The financing is a major achievement in the present market environment, and was done without diluting Amerigo’s shareholders,” says Zeitler, who resigned as CEO on Oct. 1, but remains the company’s executive chairman.

Raymond Goldie of Salman Partners has a 95¢-per-share target price on the

stock, which he says is “based on the assumptions that Amerigo produces 16.2 million lb. copper in the first half of 2015 from fresh tailings and 49.6 million lb. copper in 2016 from fresh tailings and from Cauquenes, reaching a full-year rate of 70 million lb., only by 2017.”

Goldie conceded in a research note that “these assumptions now look conservative, but we are retaining them to allow for possible hiccups, as Amerigo learns how to cope with a new orebody.”

At press time Amerigo’s shares traded at 26.5¢, within a 52-week range of 22¢ to 45¢ per share. TNM

Navigating the new terrain of mine financing

Scotiabank’s Mohr: Palladium ‘oversold’ METALS COMMENTARY

| Rising car ownership and emission standards in China should boost palladium prices

ROUNDTABLE

| Charity, streaming, crowdfunding and more vie for attention

I

n early October, The Northern Miner was privileged to play host to a roundtable discussion bringing together some of the heaviest hitters and nimblest minds on Bay and Howe streets to hash out the state of alternate finance methods in the mining industry.

Sponsored by flow-through financing specialists

By John Cumming PearTree Securities and held in the chic offices of jcumming@northernminer.com Newport Private Wealth, the roundtable was titled “New Frontiers in Mining Finance” and moderated

by Northern Miner publisher Anthony Vaccaro.

Some of the fodder for the discussion were the results of new data generated

by The Northern Miner’s polling of its readers on their attitudes and understanding of alternate mine financing.

The roundtable participants were a dream team of experts on the matter: David Harquail, president and CEO of royalty king Franco-Nevada; Randy Smallwood, president and CEO of streaming pioneer Silver Wheaton; Carol Banducci, executive vice-president and chief financial officer at cash-rich gold miner Iamgold; Rod Thomas, president of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada; Kerry Smith, vice-president and senior mining analyst at independent investment firm Haywood Securities; Chad Williams, president and CEO of capital markets advisory firm Red Cloud Mining Capital; David Thomas, managing director (Canada) of mining-focused private equity fund Resource Capital Funds; Andrew Farncomb, managing partner at independent merchant bank Cairn Merchant Partners; Liam M. Fitzgerald, accounting powerhouse PwC's mining leader in Canada; Darin Wagner, president and CEO of the fi nancially savvy gold junior Balmoral Resources; Ian Ball, the innovative president and CEO of Abitibi Royalties; industry veteran Trent Mell, PearTree Securities’ president and head of mining; and crowdfunding evangelist Oscar Jofre, CEO and founder of KoreConX. Through our research, The Northern Miner is seeking to gauge the mining industry’s need for alternate fi nancing methods that encompass royalties, flow-through fi nancing (including charity flow-through fi nancing), private equity, streaming and the strange new kid on the block, equity crowdfunding.

Royalties have been a lucrative business for Franco-Nevada, the former upstart company of the 1990s that has now settled into its status as an established industry player. Franco’s Harquail took the most sober approach during the discussion, warning of the dark side of money that comes too easily — as inferred by advocates of crowdfunding — but holding out hope that more long-term money could enter the mining sector from pension funds that see royalties as a particularly good fit.

In contrast, Silver Wheaton’s Smallwood was more curious about the possibilities of equity crowdfunding, and looked straight at KoreConX’s Jofre, and told him, “I listen to you and I see myself ten years ago” — back in the days when Smallwood spent much of his time trying to convince people that streaming was a viable fi nancing vehicle for mining. He noted streaming only hit its stride after several breakthrough deals were sealed with majors Glencore, Vale and Barrick Gold.

The concept of equity crowdfunding also got approval from Balmoral’s Wagner, who likened it to grubstaking of old, and Red Cloud’s Williams, who said crowdfunding will replace the retail investor in mining.

In some quarters, private equity has been held out as a financial saviour for the mining industry, but RCF’s David Thomas said the story isn’t that simple, as many general interest private equity firms may not have the in-house technical expertise to invest in mining companies.

Charity flow-through financing got a hearty endorsement from Wagner — who noted Balmoral has made use of it — and from Iamgold’s Banducci, who underscored that her firm raised $50 million this way for the new Westwood gold mine in Quebec. PearTree also helped Pretium Resources raise $75 million using charity flow-though financing.

But this, and our front-page story on new finance frontiers, are only a taste of what will come out in our full stand-alone report, which we'll include in a regular issue of The Northern Miner next month.

cotiabank economist and commodity specialist Patricia Mohr says palladium offers the greatest upside within the platinum group metals (PGMs) due to rising demand for car ownership in China and the central government’s wish to improve controls on car emissions.

Palladium is the main metal used in catalytic converters to control exhaust emissions in gasolinedriven automobiles, while platinum is used more widely in catalytic converters employed in diesel-run vehicles, which in China are less popular, Mohr says.

“China adopted what it calls the China IV emission standards, which are equivalent to Euro IV in the European Union, and has given itself until 2016 to implement them fully,” Mohr says. “However, they’re going to have to move to even tighter emission standards in the future, and as they do, this will require higher PGM loadings in the catalytic converters to reduce pollution.” (The China V standard, roughly the equivalent of Euro V, must be implemented in China for gasoline and diesel vehicles, as of Jan. 1, 2018.)

The average catalytic converter in China has 2.4 grams of PGMS, of which 2 grams are palladium and 0.4 gram is platinum, Mohr says.

In contrast, North American catalytic converters contain 3.7 grams of PGMs, 2.9 grams are palladium and 0.8 gram is platinum.

“There is a lot of growth that can occur in palladium use, if standards are tightened in China, and I’m sure they will be tightened,” the strategist says. (Under Euro IV, emissions have been tightened to a maximum sulphur content of 50 parts per million.)

While car sales in China have declined during the last three months, the slowdown was largely due to the stock market rout and will be shortlived, she says. “I think that will just be a near-term correction, and motor vehicle sales will get going again fairly soon and will do well in the medium-term, particularly SUVs, which are so popular in China ...

can’t imagine that car ownership is going to stall for long.”

One reason she is so optimistic about the China car market is that it is starting from a low base compared to most G7 countries. Last year, for instance, car ownership per 1,000 people in China was just 104, compared to 803 in the U.S. “Over the medium-term, auto sales will continue to be a leading sector in China’s economy,” she says.

“And as the economy shifts gradually from being oriented towards heavy industry and a reliance on exports, to a more service-oriented economy, cars and particularly SUVs, are going to be a big factor and a growth sector, as they have been in recent years.”

Mohr also points out that the recent scandal at Volkswagen, where management misled the public about emissions, could also affect demand for diesel cars and platinum use in Europe. “The whole controversy at Volkswagen is quite extraordinary,” she says, “and I think there could be some shift away from diesel-run cars, even in the G7 countries, towards gasolinedriven vehicles.”

Recent concerns over the health of the Chinese economy and its demand for commodities has pushed metal prices lower, but Mohr believes palladium was “oversold in the last month, relative to its medium-term fundamentals.”

Mohr contends t hat US$750 to US $8 0 0 per oz . pa l lad iu m “would be quite conceivable, and it should be there right now.” At press time palladium was selling for US$706 per oz. TNM

National Mining Hall of Fame to induct five more INDUSTRY EXCELLENCE U.S. mining industry leaders TS Ary, Frank F Aplan, Ralph E Bailey, John Campbell Greenway and Edward Steidle will be inducted into the National Mining Hall of Fame at a banquet on Oct. 23, 2015, in Pittsburgh, Pa. Based in Leadville, Colo., the institution will also honour the Powell River Project Research & Education Center this year. For more information visit www. mininghalloffame.org.

T.S. Ary 1925–2009 T.S. Ary was a leader in mineral exploration and a champion of economically and environmentally sustainable mineral policies for the nation. A mining engineering graduate from Stanford University with graduate studies in mineral law, land management, international studies and business, Ary served as a U.S. navy carrier pilot in World War II before starting his professional career in 1951 with the Anaconda Mining in Butte, Mont. He was a shift boss and assistant superintendent at several mines before moving into Anaconda’s geology department.

He joined Union Carbide in 1953 as a mining engineer and superintendent of a vanadium mine in Rifle, Colorado and named vice-president of Union Carbide Exploration in 1967. In 1975, he joined Utah International as vicepresident of exploration and director of development. He was appointed president of Kerr-McGee’s Minerals Exploration division in Oklahoma City, Okla., in 1980. While at Kerr-McGee, he was responsible for worldwide hard mineral and coal exploration, as well as land acquisition and management functions of all operating divisions except oil and gas.

A prolific author and advocate for the mining industry, Ary was a recognized authority on mineral policy. He served on the U.S. State Department Task Force to the United Nations Law of the Sea Convention and the Mineral Advisory Committee to the Department of Commerce. He chaired both the Minerals Availability Committee of the American Mining Congress and the Natural Resources Committee of the National Association of Manufacturers. He served four years on the National Strategic Materials and Minerals Program Advisory Committee to the Secretary of the Interior. He also served as director of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society, chairman of the Colorado Plateau Section of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers, and director of the Colorado Public Expenditures Council.

He was recognized for his leadership in the industry through receipt of the AIME Robert Earl McConnell Award in 1993, and the SME President’s Citation in 1992.

In 1988, Ary was sworn in as the eighteenth director of the U.S. Bureau of Mines in 1988, serving under U.S. presidents Reagan and Bush. Under his leadership, the Bureau of Mines advanced a number of technologies that advanced the industry: self-rescue equipment that allowed miners to breathe when caught in underground disasters; production processes for specialty metals; techniques to recover strategic and critical minerals to reduce U.S. vulnerability to import block-

ages; making man-made wetlands to limit pollution of waterways by acid mine drainage; methods to minimize subsidence impacts; improved recycling of metals, plastic and paper from municipal wastes; and using bacteria to remove arsenic and cyanide from wastewater.

Frank F. Aplan (b. 1923) Frank Aplan is among the most influential mineral processing leaders in industry and academia. His studies of the processes involved in the preparation of coal and ores are acknowledged worldwide for their broad applicability. An authority on flotation, Aplan is especially known for his studies of wetting solids and their control through the adsorption of surfactant fi lms, and for his work on the effects of atomic defects on properties, and behavior of solidliquid interfaces.

Born in Boulder, Colo., in 1923, Aplan acquired an interest in the chemistry of paints at the age of 10.

He enrolled in the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 1941, but his studies were interrupted by four years serving his country as an army combat infantryman during World War II. He was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Bronze Star, and was discharged in 1946, returning to complete his studies at “Mines” in 1948. He went on to earn master’s and doctorate degrees from Montana School of Mines in 1950 and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1957.

Working at the Homestake, Climax, and Day mines grew the skills for which Aplan is now recognized: integrating theory with practice in processing coal, ores and industrial minerals. From 1957 to 1968, he rose from research engineer to group manager of research and development for Union Carbide. He later came to chair the Mineral Processing Department at Pennsylvania State University in 1968.

Aplan has made outstanding contributions to education in minerals and solid fuels processing. He supervised over 50 graduate students in mineral processing and introduced thousands of undergraduates to the concepts of solids processing. He authored over 150 publications in prestigious journals and symposia that continue to illuminate mineral processing aspirants with his findings and knowledge.

His excellence in teaching was affirmed when he received the student-nominated Wilson Outstanding Teaching Award at Penn State.

He was awarded the Distinguished

Professor Emeritus of Metallurgy and Mineral Processing for Penn State in 1999. He has received prestigious awards of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers (AIME) and the Society for Mining, Meta llurg y and Exploration (SME): Richards Award, SME Distinguished Member, Taggart Award, AIME Honorary Member, Gaudin Award and Percy Nichols Award. In 1989, the United Engineering Foundation created the Frank F. Aplan Award in his name “to recognize engineering and scientif ic contributions that further the understanding of the processing of minerals.” That same year, Aplan was elected to the National Academy of Engineering, the highest recognition that an engineer can achieve for his “contributions to education and research in the mineral industry through the integration of theory and practice covering metallic ores, industrial minerals and coal.”

Ralph E. Bailey (b. 1924) Ralph E. Bailey is a distinguished veteran of the coal industry. The former chairman and CEO of Conoco, Bailey helped mastermind the largest corporate merger of its day when Conoco was acquired by DuPont in 1981. He is regarded not only for his impressive accomplishments as an executive, but also for his staunch commitment to safety, engineering and improving mine operations.

Born in Indiana on March 23, 1924, Bailey married Bettye J. Holder of Elberfeld, Ind., in 1945. He graduated from Purdue University with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1949 and joined Peabody Coal (formerly Northern Illinois Coal) as an engineer in 1949, eventually becoming executive vice-president in 1964. While at Peabody, his leadership and creativity paved the way for a new generation of giant shovels and draglines.

In 1965 he joined Consolidation Coal (Consol) as vice-president, and became its president and CEO in 1975.

During his tenure at Consol, Bailey implemented many new concepts, including the first longwall system to operate in eastern bituminous coal at the Shoemaker Mine in 1973. Longwall mining was an advance in underground mine productivity and is now the standard for efficient underground mining. Bailey’s namesake the Bailey mine and its nearby sister mine Enlow Fork in southwestern Pennsylvania are among the most productive and higher-volume underground coal mines in the U.S.

Bailey championed a grassroots program at Consol to greatly improve the health and safety of both underground and surface miners. The dramatic results achieved stimulated industry efforts to do the same. Losttime accidents, serious injuries and fatalities were all reduced, and fi res, floods and explosions were virtually eliminated in most mines. Consol’s “Ralph E. Bailey Safety Trophy” — awarded to operations that worked a million man-hours without a lost time accident — is a reminder of Bailey’s commitment to the safety of his miners.

Consol was acquired by Continental Oil (Conoco) in 1966. Bailey was named vice-chairman and a director of the parent company, and became Conoco’s chairman and CEO in 1979.

He led Conoco in 1981 when it was acquired by E.I. duPont de Nemours & Co. for US$7 billion, the largest corporate acquisition of its time.

Bailey retired from his executive positions at DuPont and Conoco in 1987. During his career, he was the president of the American Mining Congress (AMC) and received AMC’s Distinguished Service Award for his industry contributions. He also served as chairman of the National Petroleum Council, chairman of the Environmental Task Force of the Business Roundtable and director of the American Petroleum Institute. Purdue University awarded him an honorary Doctorate in Engineering in 1979.

John Campbell Greenway (1872–1926) John Campbell Greenway was a man of unique engineering ability, managerial talent, perseverance and a reputation for completing tough jobs. A mining, steel and railroad executive, Greenway also had a distinguished career as a soldier.

Born in Huntsville, Ala., in 1872, Greenway graduated from Yale University with a PhD in engineering and was a celebrated athlete. His early mining employment was cut short when he joined Roosevelt’s Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War and earned a Silver Star for courageous service at the Battle of San Juan Hill. After the war, Greenway resumed his mining career with US Steel, where he led the development of the Western Masabe Iron Ore Range in Minnesota. Asked to move to Bisbee, Ariz., in 1910, he became General Manager of Calumet & Arizona Copper. He was later named General Manager of New Cornelia Copper (NCC) and the Cornelia & See HALL OF FAME / 15

OCTOBER 19–25, 2015 / THE NORTHERN MINER

MA R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / OCTOBER 2–8 Stocks gained ground as higher oil prices lifted the energy-heavy Toronto Stock Exchange, while the prospects of an interest rate increase in the U.S. receded further into the background.

Brent crude futures posted four straight closes above US$50 per barrel last week, while the U.S. Federal Reserve released minutes from its September meeting, during which the central bank said it would wait to see how slowing global economic growth might impact the U.S. economy. The S&P/TSX Composite Index jumped 5.6% to 13,978.66, while the S&P/TSX Capped Diversified Metals & Mining Index surged 40% to 487.74, and the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index advanced 15.5% to 54.19. Gold rose 2.3% — or US$25.50 per oz. to finish at US$1,139 per oz. — lifting the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index by 12.6% to 135.20.

Shares of First Quantum Minerals jumped 75% to $8.56, and were the most traded after the company announced its actions to combat low commodity prices. After a detailed review and reappraisal of capital costs at its Cobre Panama project, First Quantum estimates total project costs of US$5.95 billion, down 7% from its previous estimates, with potential for improvements. The lower estimate was due to “better construction efficiency, continued optimization of detailed design and lower costs for equipment and bulk materials, such as rebar and structured steel,” the company said,

as well as better clarity on costs now that the project is 35% complete. First Quantum said the remaining costs to completion will be met by another contribution from partner KPMG of US$666 million, US$1 billion payable from Franco-Nevada under a recent stream agreement and US$1.7 billion from First Quantum.

Other planned capital programs across the company have been “reduced or rephased” by US$700 million. Among other measures, it has hedged 170,000 tonnes of copper production at US$2.41 per lb. over the rest of 2015 and well into 2016, cut the workforce by 644 and reduced salaries by up to 20%. It has also committed to reduce net debt by over US$ 1 billion by the end of the fi rst quarter of 2016 “through a combination of asset sales and other strategic initiatives.”

Copper Mountain Mining surged 58% to 61¢. The company reported that its Copper Mountain copper mine in southern B.C. near Princeton produced 20.4 million lb. copper in the third quarter of 2015. Concentrate shipped during the quarter contained 21.9 million lb. copper, plus gold and silver, and generated an estimated US$60 million in gross revenue.

In the third quarter the mill achieved an

average record throughput of 37,400 tonnes per day for a 22% increase over the comparative period of 2014.

The ore grade averaged 0.4% copper for the quarter.

In addition, the company received approval during the quarter for various amendments to its permits, such as including the Virginia Pit in the mine plan, which has a higher-thanaverage head grade.

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / OCTOBER 2–8 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index rose 4.1%, or 21.5 points, en route to a 547.04-point close.

Gold rose US$1.6, or 0.1%, to US$1,142.5 per oz. gold, whereas copper spot prices gained slightly, up 0.1%, to US$2.40 per lb.

The Toronto-based junior, Roxgold, gained 4% to 61¢ after announcing the results from its 55 zone infi ll drilling program at its Yaramoko gold project, located in the Houndé greenstone region of Burkina Faso, West Africa.

The program confirmed high-grade gold mineralization continued within the upper reaches of the deposit, as the company advances the project towards production for the second quarter of 2016.

Highlights include 73.9 grams per tonne gold over 4.4 metres true width, 91.2 grams gold over 2.1 metres true width and 24.3 grams gold over 3.6 metres true width.

The underground mine is scheduled to produce 99,500 oz. gold annually for an initial 7.4 years, at all-in sustaining costs of US$590 per oz. gold.

Analysts from Macquarie Securities Group have Roxgold as a top pick in the developer space, placing a target price of $1.35 per share for the company.

Money is pouring into aspiring miner Kennady Diamonds, as shares rose 0.2% to $3.10,

after closing its non-brokered private placement totalling $48.1 million.

The capital will be used to deliver a maiden resource at its Kelvin kimberlite pipe, 280 kilometres east of Yellowknife, N.W.T., and help drive the project towards full feasibility by 2017.

Irish Billionaire Dermot Desmond kept his 23.6% share standing in the company by acquiring another 4.5 million shares of Kennady for $12.4 million.

The project is located to the north and west of the developing Gahcho Kué diamond mine — a joint venture between De Beers Canada and Mountain Province Diamonds — which is due to start production in the second half of next year.

U.S. MARKETS / OCTOBER 2–8 U.S. equities advanced, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing 4.8% to 17,050.75.

The S&P 500 Index advanced 4.7% to 2,103.43 for its highest level in seven weeks. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 4% to 4,810.79. The spot price for gold gained US$33, or 2.9%, to close at US$1,145 per oz.

The Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting indicated low inflation could limit interest rates in the near-term. As a result, the US Dollar Index fell 0.8% to close at 95.30. Oil prices traded above US$50 a barrel for the first time since July, after a positive outlook from PIRA Energy Group. The closely watched oil forecaster estimates prices will climb to US$75 per barrel in the next two years.

Teck Resources was the week’s percentage winner, soaring 59% to US$7.31 per share. On Oct. 7, the firm reported a long-term silver streaming agreement with Franco-Nevada for its Antamina copper-zinc-silver mine in Peru. Teck owns a 22.5% interest in the mine, along with BHP Billiton (33.75%), Glencore (33.75%) and Mitsubishi (10%). In exchange, Franco-Nevada will make a one-time US$650-million payment, and pay 5% of the spot price at the time of delivery for each silver ounce delivered under the stream. After 86 million oz. silver have been delivered, estimated

TNM Oct 19 2015 MKT and Tables.indd 6

to occur in 30 years, the stream will be reduced by one-third. Haywood Securities analyst Kerry Smith sees the transaction as a “good deal” for Teck, as it helps strengthen the company’s balance sheet and offsets the development costs for the Fort Hills oilsands project in Alberta. BMO analyst Andrew Kaip says annual stream contributions could average 3.2 million oz. silver, which would increase Franco-Nevada’s gold-equivalent ounce profi le by 13%. “The transaction adds a low-cost, long-life operation to the FNV profile, with meaningful exploration potential beyond the current mine plan,” Kaip writes.

oughly 30 km southeast from the small settlement of Destruction Bay along the Alaska Highway, which traces the picturesque shores of Kluane Lake in southwestern Yukon, lies Wellgreen Platinum’s (TSX: WG; US-OTC: WGPLF) base of operations.

The company is the latest in a long line of suitors hoping to unlock the prolific mineral potential that lies in the shadow of the Saint Elias Mountains.

Wellgreen’s current management team took control of the large platinum group metals (PGMs) enriched Wellgreen nickel-sulphide deposit back in 2012, but the project has a lengthy history. Prospectors W. Green, C. Aird and C. Hankins staked the first recorded mineral claims on the property in 1952, while Hudbay Minerals (TSX: HBM; NYSE: HBM) didn’t have much luck operating an underground mine at the site in the early 1970s.

The company’s camp is an easy drive along the all-season highway, after a prerequisite detour to check out the world’s largest gold pan. And it’s quite evident that Wellgreen is only the most recent company to occupy the site, which hosts an extensive bunk area and the skeletons of old machinery.

The property lies in the the Kluane Ranges, which are a continuous chain of foothills spattered along the eastern flank of the Saint Elias Mountains.

The Wellgreen deposit lies within an Upper Triassic ultramafic body within the Quill Creek Complex, which is 20 km long and closely intrudes along the contact between the Station Creek and Hasen Creek formations.

President and CEO Greg Johnson explains from the company’s extensive core shack that Wellgreen is analogous to gabbro-associated nickel deposits, with notable examples including Noril’sk in Russia, Raglan in northern Quebec, Stillwater in Montana and Sudbury in Ontario.

“This type of system with the platinum group metals (PGMs) enrichment is quite rare, since these ultramafic rock packages don’t occur in many places around the world,” Johnson says. “One of the areas of focus for our team over the past couple of years has been to take the geologic context from five generations of exploration history, including production data from the high-grade underground mine.”

Something that certainly isn’t a problem at the project is size and growth potential.

Wellgreen hosts 330 million measured and indicated tonnes grading 0.24 gram platinum per tonne, 0.24 gram palladium per tonne, 0.045 gram gold per tonne, 0.3% nickel, 0.1% copper and 0.02% cobalt.

Inferred resources include 846 million tonnes of 0.23 gram platinum, 0.23 gram palladium, 0.047 gram gold, 0.2% nickel, 0.1% copper and 0.02% cobalt. All resource estimates assume a 0.57-gram platinum See WELLGREEN / 8

equivalent cut-off grade.

Why is the new Wellgreen team so confident it can bring the deposit to production, when previous operators have failed to solve the puzzle?

The simplest answer is an abundance of experience with similar deposits, and proven ability to raise capital. Johnson co-founded NovaGold Resources (TSX: NG; NYSE-MKT: NG), while chief operating officer John Sagman has experience working in Xstrata’s nickel division including the Raglan complex.

Management has flexed its financial muscle by raising over $40 million in cash since taking control of the project three years ago.

“Hudbay chased higher grades along narrow horizons, and that proved really difficult, because they pinch and swell. For us those high-grade massive sulphides are sweeteners within our open-pit, bulk-tonnage plan, so we’ll avoid that difficulty of maintaining grade control,” Johnson adds.

“One of the main benefits at Wellgreen is that the drill holes are still largely on-site, and we really worked on systematically correlating all that data. When we first got here there was this massive inferred resource,

and we really prioritized updating our confidence in that resource over further expansion — but there’s still a lot of potential out here.”

Th is growth potential is apparent during a drive out to the main Wellgreen zone along the deposit’s eastern edges. Johnson says the “mountainous topography” is a benefit to mine planning, as it helps the company minimize

strip ratio due to the tabular nature of the ultramafic rock package. He gestures to the mountain peak where the company is conducting infill drilling, though it is shrouded in a veil of thick, low-lying fog on this day.

“We’re also fortunate that some of our highest-grade zones come right to surface, which allows us to have starter pits over our first five years of

operation,” Johnson says.

The trucks roll to a stop on a valley floor along the edges of Quill Creek.

Sagman points out the proposed tailings and processing facility nearby, and explains that the mine layout minimizes impacts on regional watersheds. Wellgreen figures that the central valley location can be used to process mill feed from its deposit, as well as any satellite discoveries it makes in the future.

“We based the layout on the design of the Raglan camp up in Baffin Island where the complex is quite contained, so it’s efficient for maintenance and operations,” Sagman elaborates. “We believe it’s highly probable we find other mineralization zones. If the

material is at surface, you might snap it right into your mine plan.”

Wellgreen outlined its early vision for the mine in February with a preliminary economic assessment that models a staged build running at 25,000 tonnes per day for five years, before graduating to 50,000 tonnes per day for the remaining 20 years.

Johnson points out that the 25-year mine life uses only “one-third” of total pit-constrained resources.

Pre-production capital expenses are pegged at US$586 million, but that’s only a fraction of life-of-mine capital requirements of US$1.6 billion. The big spend is on expansion and sustaining capital, which total US$889 million.

Wellgreen would annually produce 177,500 oz. platinum-palladium-gold (3E), 68 million lb. nickel and 44 million lb. copper. Sagman adds that two starter pits would target higher-grade, near-surface mineralization in the mine’s early years, which would improve payback and provide cash flow to fund the costly expansion.

The company’s economic base case assumes US$1,450 per oz. platinum, US$800 per oz. palladium, US$1,250 per oz. gold, US$8 per lb. nickel and US$3 per lb. copper. The model features a $1.2-billion after-tax net present value at a 7.5% discount rate, and a 24.6% internal rate of return.

The tour continues along the wellkept gravel service road, which tilts upwards as it leads towards Wellgreen’s current drill collars. Johnson points out Hudbay’s old access portal, and explains the company expects to include some of the historic, high-grade material in the mine plan.

“From an underground point of view, there’s some opportunity for us in the historic workings,” Johnson says.

“For example, the main underground workings have nice high-grade material that we could access quite quickly. That ore might come forward in the mine plan, compared to sticking solely to open-pit methods. I think it’s exciting in general that there are so many opportunities here in terms of potential expansion of future pits, and underground opportunities that could add real value,” he adds.

Wellgreen’s regional scale is evident during a drive over the property despite the fog. The main deposit is part of an 18 km system of ultramafic rocks that could host more mineralization.

The trucks roll by a small hill atop the company’s Quill target, which is another geophysical anomaly awaiting drilling. Johnson explains that similar ultramafic geophysical signatures have been traced another 4 km toward its Burwash target.

“Our ultramafic intrusions occur for at least 150 km along a major break. It’s thought that related systems continue up through Alaska and down through northern B.C.,” he adds.

The next steps at Wellgreen will tweak project metallurgy, with the company hoping to improve recoveries by adding another regrind and flotation element to its circuit. Sagman says there’s also potential in “exotic PGM” production, which includes rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium.

One thing that hasn’t gone according to plan is a steep drop in metal prices over the past year. Since early January, three-month future contracts for Platinum have dropped US$263 en route to US$950 per oz. at press time, while two-month contracts for palladium are down US$95 at US$702 per oz.

Meanwhile, nickel has fallen from near US$10 per lb. a year ago to US$4.59 per lb.

Wellgreen shares have followed metal prices downward, as its share price has dropped 64%, or 41¢ yearto-date, en route to a 23¢-per-share close at the time of writing.

The company reported $5.8 million in cash and equivalents at the end of June, and has 112 million shares outstanding for a $25.8-million market capitalization. TNM

North American Palladium emphasizes performance at LDI RESTRUCTURING

orth American Palladium (TSX: PDL; US-OTC: PALDF) has let go 44 workers at its Lac des Îles (LDI) palladium mine near Thunder Bay, Ont., due to weaker metal prices and a reduced milling schedule.

While the move was unfortunate, it was part of the company’s efforts to drive down operating costs, PDL’s new president and CEO Jim Gallagher says in an interview.

Affected employees include 18 staff and 26 unionized members. The company will leave another 17 positions vacant, resulting in 61 fewer positions.

After the scale-back, the LDI mine will employ 422 workers.

Other cost-saving initiatives include PDL’s move to stop blending low-grade surface stockpile with the mine’s higher-grade underground ore.

Processing the stockpile, which grades less than 1 gram per tonne palladium, is not economic at current metal prices, Gallagher says.

When the miner announced the job cuts on Sept. 30, the palladium spot price was trading at US$651 per oz., down 18% year-to-date. (The price rose two days later to US$698 per oz.)

The underground mine will run as is, Gallagher says, explaining there’s not enough feed to keep the mill running. “We do have a large mill. Its nameplate capacity is 15,000 tonnes a day, and we are producing 4,500 tonnes a day from underground.

Without the supplemental low-grade stockpile, we simply cannot run the mill full-time.”

As a result, the mill will return to a 14-day on and 14-day off schedule.

Planned throughput should average 1,340 tonnes per day when in operation.

Since the schedule change and temporary mill shutdown in the second quarter, PDL has lowered its 2015 production guidance. It expects to produce 160,000 to 170,000 oz. palladium, compared to the previous estimate of 185,000 to 205,000 oz.

The junior announced in late July that it was reviewing its guidance and anticipated an adverse outcome after the mill was suspended for six weeks in May and June, due to high water levels in the containment ponds. This was resolved by control-releasing water into the environment in June.

But this took a toll on production, revenues and earnings. PDL posted a net $97-million loss in the June quarter, compared to a $10-million loss in the same period last year.

The cash-strapped firm kept going with a US$25-million bridge loan from Brookfield Capital Partners Ltd. in June, as the miner agreed to a proposed financial restructuring.

It also converted its 2012 and 2014 convertible debentures into equity, giving the debenture holders 6% of the company. PDL shareholders kept 2% of the firm. (Afterwards the miner underwent a 1-to-400 share consolidation.)

It also consolidated its corporate roles. On Aug. 12, Gallagher, formerly the chief Authorized operating officer, took over the president and CEO roles from Toyota Landcruiser Phil du Toit,Dealer who resigned. Corporate controller Christine Napierala became

NORTH AMERICAN PALLADIUM

interim vice-president of finance and chief financial officer, after David Langille stepped down.

“We streamlined the operations at the corporate level. We will be downsizing our office space in the near future.

So we’re saving between $2 million and $2.5 million a year, with the head office reductions,” Gallagher says.

Gallagher, Napierala and David Peck, the company’s vice-president of exploration, now make up PDL’s management team.

To inject more capital into the miner, PDL completed a $50-million rights offering in September. It will use the funds to repay the US$25-million

bridge loan and continue working on the LDI mine.

“It’s really about having a laser-like focus on operational performance and long-term success,” Gallagher says.

While most companies are reining in their exploration and capital programs, PDL, with the support of Brookfield, is investing in the LDI mine and exploration. “In fact, we are ramping up both our underground and our surface greenfield property exploration. And we continue to invest capital for the long-term sustainability of the current mine operations.”

PDL’s exploration budget for 2015 is just under $10 million. It has four drills

turning, including two underground at the LDI mine.

The company will invest heavily into the mine as well as exploration in the next two years, Gallagher says, highlighting his bullish stance on palladium.

“Despite recent dynamics in the commodities market, including palladium, we certainly believe in the long-term story for palladium, and most investors are still bullish on palladium. It has actually been one of the better performers in the recent turmoil. We are committed to our long-term story here, and I think that’s what people have to be looking for.”

In the near-term, investors should keep an eye on the company’s cash flow, with Gallagher expecting positive operating cash flow by year-end. “We will actually be there in December, and we will be in that position throughout 2016.” TNM

Silver Standard looks to Golden Arrow for more ore SILVER STANDARD From 7

its operator, and Golden Arrow will own the remaining 25%.

On paper, the pairing makes sense, and if the joint venture goes ahead, Chinchillas could supply feed to Pirquitas as early as the second half of 2017. The open-pit mine entered production in December 2009, and as of December 2014 had four years of reserves remaining.

The agreement involves staged expenses over the year-and-a-half assessment period, in which Silver Standard examines the technical and economic viability of processing Chinchilla mineralization. Silver Standard’s minimum expense commitment is $4 million, and could rise to $12.6 million or more as required.

In the first six months, Golden Arrow will oversee up to 17,000 metres of drilling and provide operational support for Silver Standard’s exploration and technical teams.

If Silver Standard proceeds with a joint venture, it will pay Golden Arrow 25% of all mine earnings from Chinchillas and Pirquitas (retroactive from Sept. 30, 2015).

Paul Benson, Silver Standard’s president and CEO, said in a news release that the plan could extend the mine life at Pirquitas, leverage its infrastructure and workforce to accelerate Chinchillas’ development, and offers exposure to exploration upside at the project.

“It’s a good example of risk-sharing,” Silver Standard’s vice-president in charge of business development and strategy John DeCooman says in an interview. “It really is an option earn-in type of opportunity for which the guys at Golden Arrow need not find

Silver Standard Resources’ Pirquitas silver mine in northern Argentina's Jujuy province. SILVER STANDARD RESOURCES

the capital, and in this market, it’s challenging for anyone to get capital — and I would include us in that.”

DeCooman notes that the deal not only “pushes the Chinchillas project forward,” but “gives all of us an opportunity that, when the cycle changes — and it will — it will provide a lot of prospectivity, so that you’re not caught f lat-footed when the market turns around, and you’re not overexposed if the market takes longer to recover.”

“We have to be practical,” he adds.

“Pirquitas has well short of a five-year mine life, and we have to focus on mine life extension today.”

As of July 2015, Chinchilla has an indicated resource of 25.9 million tonnes grading 77.2 grams silver per tonne, 0.7% lead and 0.7% zinc, for 64 million contained oz. silver, 379 million lb. lead and 379 million lb. zinc.

In the inferred resource category, it has 47.2 million tonnes averaging 50.2 grams silver per tonne, 0.5% lead and 0.6% zinc for 76 million contained oz. silver, 544 million lb. lead and 661 million lb. zinc.

Jesuit missionaries first prospected the Chinchillas area and mined it on a small scale in the 18th century. A small local company using adits and tunnels then mined it in the late 1960s.

It wasn’t until early 2011 that Golden Arrow identified the property as an advanced acquisition target.

The project comprises three contiguous claims totalling 20.4 sq. km, and the deposit hosts silver-lead-zinc mineralization in four areas: the silver mantos and mantos basement zones in the west, and the Socavon del Diablo and Socavon basement zones.

The deposit is considered part of

“WE HAVE TO BE PRACTICAL — PIRQUITAS HAS WELL SHORT OF A FIVE-YEAR MINE LIFE, AND WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON MINE LIFE EXTENSION TODAY.” JOHN DECOOMAN VICE-PRESIDENT OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGY, SILVER STANDARD RESOURCES

the Bolivian tin-silver-zinc belt that extends from the San Rafael tin-copper deposit in southern Peru into the Puna region of Jujuy. According to Golden Arrow, deposits with similar environments and mineralization styles include San Cristobal, Potosi, Pulacayo and Pirquitas.

Golden Arrow has finished four drilling programs. In the first phase, in May 2012, the junior drilled 27 holes totalling 3,200 metres. The second program took place between November 2012 and February 2013, and included 49 drill holes and 7,300 metres of drilling. Between February 2014 and June 2014, Golden Arrow

fi nished its third phase of drilling, completing 38 holes totalling 9,000 metres. The fourth phase of drilling program lasted from November 2014 to April 2015, and included 55 drill holes over 11,200 metres.

As for Pirquitas, Silver Standard expects the mine will produce up to 10.5 million oz. silver and 12 million lb. zinc this year. Last year the mine turned out 8.7 million oz. silver and 30 million lb. zinc.

The company has cut cash costs at Pirquitas from US$13.32 per oz. silver in the third quarter of 2013 to US$9.45 per oz. silver in this year’s second quarter. TNM

National Mining Hall of Fame to induct five more HALL OF FAME From 5

Gila Bend Railway.

It was at NCC where Greenway reached the pinnacle of his career. Copper mineralization at Ajo was remote, had no water, and the low-grade copper deposit resisted conventional processing methods. Greenway led NCC in taking on the Ajo challenge. He led the development of the Ajo townsite. For water he found an ancient lava flow, which he tapped into using a large oil rig. Man-made caverns housed the pumps and a pipeline brought the water across miles of desert into town.

Ore processing was the next challenge. Greenway and L. D. Ricketts developed, demonstrated and patented a new process. Leaching ores with dilute sulphuric acid in lead-lined vats — followed by electrowinning copper directly from solution — yielded cathode-grade copper which converted the recalcitrant Ajo mineralization into a lucrative mining venture. The railroad company began operation that same year, efficiently connecting mine to market.

Between 1918 and 1957, NCC and its successor Phelps Dodge shipped over 3 billion lb. copper from the facility.

After opening copper mining in Arizona, Greenway once again joined the military in World War I, and for bravery was awarded the Croixs de Guerre and l’Etoile, the Legion of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross. In 1930, General Greenway’s statue was placed in the U.S. Capitol National Statuary Hall Collection.

Theodore Roosevelt described Greenway as one of two or three men he turned to when there was a need to fi nd a man for a duty of particular hazard or peculiar responsibility.

A eulogy in the New York Herald Tribune said that “when Greenway came upon the field of athletics or

war, confidence ran through team or regiment. To know why, to analyze the reasons, would be to analyze life itself, but some of the component elements all men know — courage, leadership, common sense, unselfishness, loyalty, mercy. All these Greenway had.” In his will, Greenway left US$100,000 to the miners of NCC

Edward Steidle (1887–1977) Edward Steidle was one of the most influential early leaders of U.S. mineral education. A man of vision, Steidle was blessed with a keen appreciation of a need to bring science and technology under one roof to discover, extract, process, use and conserve mineral wealth for the benefit of mankind. In addition to being an imaginative and inspirational college administrator, Steidle was an excellent engineering teacher and an enthusiastic and great public servant.

Born in Williamsport, Pa., in 1887, Steidle received his BS and EM degrees in Mining Engineering from Pen State University. From 1912 to 1916, he rose from foreman miner in the new U.S. Bureau of Mines to assistant to the Bureau’s chief mining engineer, and gained a reputation for his ability to establish agreeable relations with miners and operators, and for authoring incisive publications on coal mine safety.

During World War I, Steidle served in the U.S. Army in France and was wounded three times, earning the

Victory Medal, the Pershing Citation and the Purple Heart.

Steidle subsequently joined the Carnegie Institute of Technology as an associate professor of mining engineering, collaborating and organizing research with the U.S. Bureau of Mines and mining and metallurgical companies in the Pittsburgh area.

In 1928, Steidle was appointed dean of the School of Mining and Metallurgy at Penn State. From that time to his retirement in 1953 as the dean of the College of Mineral Industries, his planning, actions and decisions were responsible for creating the modern College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. He brought together earth-

related disciplines formerly dispersed among other colleges into the School of Mineral Industries. He added petroleum and natural gas engineering, fuel technology, mineral economics, geography and meteorology. Unifying these earth-related educational program brought a greater understanding of the resource extraction, use and conservation cycle.

Steidle expressed many of his ideas and philosophy on mineral education and conservation in numerous articles and books, including: A Philosophy of Conservation, Mineral Industries Education, and Mineral Forecast 2000 A.D. He collected original prints and paintings depicting all facets of mineral

industry operations from the 1930s to illustrate the intersection of art, industry and education and the vital role these industries played in the nation’s growth. The Steidle Collection remains one of the world’s finest industrial arts collections.

In 1953, President Eisenhower appointed Steidle Chairman of the Federal Coal Mine Safety Board of Review and he served until 1967. His expertise in mineral education was in constant demand by U.S. and foreign governments, and by the United Nations.

In 1978, the Mineral Industries Building in Penn State’s University Park Campus was renamed the Steidle Building.
