Tycoon takes 9.9% stake in Teranga Gold

Cupric’s ‘paradigm changer’ in the Kalahari SITE VISIT

| David Mimran looks to diversify with $23M bet on gold

avid Mimran — a fi nancier, Hollywood movie producer and CEO of his family’s Mimran Group, whose wealth stems from agri-industry (flour, sugarcane, grain, animal feed) to banking, shipping and real estate — has taken a 9.9% stake in Canadian junior Teranga Gold (TSX: TGZ).

The Mimran Group is the largest private sector employer in Senegal, where Teranga’s Sabodala open-pit gold mine, the country’s largest commercial gold mine and mill, has been producing the precious metal since 2009.

“He and his family are active in French West Africa with a number of businesses. He’s bullish on gold, and the family was looking to diversify from their current core holdings,” says Richard Young, Teranga’s president and CEO, in an interview.

Mimran first approached the company for technical assistance after he got a mining licence in Côte d’Ivoire, Young explains. Mimran visited Sabodala in March, and the two parties talked over the summer months.

“They believe French West Africa is a growing region, and David thought Sabodala was a well-run operation,” Young says. “He was impressed by its quality, our social licence and the free cash flow it was generating, and what he saw as opportunities to grow the business.”

The non-brokered private placement raises $22.7 million for the company, and Mimran gets a seat on the board for at least three years. “David shares our vision of being able to grow the company,” Young continues. “The fact See TERANGA / 14

hen an all-star mining team with an ample exploration budget arrives in a supportive, mineral-rich jurisdiction, exciting transformations are bound to happen. Cupric Canyon Capital’s Khoemacau copper-silver project in the Kalahari copper belt in northwestern Botswana is an example of just that.

The Scottsdale, Arizona-based private firm is set to develop a highgrade, underground copper mine at Khoemacau’s Zone 5 in late 2016, with production starting in 2018.

or the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It had small, lowergrade deposits and small-scale mines.

Zone 5 changes the paradigm entirely of what the Kalahari copper belt can produce,” Cupric’s director Stephen Enders tells The Northern Miner on a September site visit. The 1,000 km long belt runs from northern Botswana into Namibia.

Enders, previously the head of Newmont Mining’s (NYSE: NEM) exploration division and president of Phelps Dodge Exploration, is among the first five Phelps Dodge alumni at Cupric, along with founding chairman Tim Snider. Snider served as president and chief operating officer

During the first decade of operation, annual production should average 52,000 tonnes copper and 1.4 million oz. silver, at C1 cash costs of US$1.15 per lb., net of silver credits.

Initial costs are US$350 million for the 20-year-plus mine.

Cupric, majority owned by Barclays' Natural Resource Investments and the rest by management, points out that this is just the starter project.

Prefeasibility work on an expansion project estimates annual production of more than 80,000 tonnes copper and 2.4 million oz. silver a year.

“Until we discovered how good Zone 5 is, the perception in the geological community was that the Kalahari copper belt didn’t have the potential of what we see in Zambia

Cupric’s ‘paradigm changer’ in the Kalahari CUPRIC From 1

at both Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) and Phelps Dodge. (Freeport acquired the storied copper major for US$25.9 billion in 2007.)

Getting to Cupric’s crown jewel in the central Kalahari copper belt is relatively easy from its newly acquired camp in Toteng. The 800-person village is 65 km southwest of Maun, one of the largest towns in Botswana and the gateway to the Okavango Delta.

The inland delta attracts a variety of wildlife, and tourists.

While cruising down the two-lane A3 highway from Maun’s international airport to Toteng, Sam Rasmussen, Cupric’s CEO of Africa, notes tourism, one of Botswana’s top industries, has taken a hit since the Ebola outbreak last year, while the slowed global economy and the risk of malaria have pushed up the unemployment rate.

Along with tourism, other industries include agriculture and mining. The latter makes up more than a third of the country’s gross domestic product.

“It’s quite amazing that brush,” Rasmussen says, looking at the sparse and dry vegetation. “In four months it’s going to be so green and full of straw grass et cetera, that you can’t see through there. It will be a metre high.”

The number of cattle and donkeys grow as we near Toteng. The tires of the truck kick up dust as we turn onto a calcrete road. With no breeze in the air, a small cloud of dust trails behind.

Humble beginnings Enders recalls how Cupric was formed in 2010. Around that time he and Snider were both retired and doing pro-bono work for the Institute of Mineral Resources at the University of Arizona.

“Tim had just left Freeport and I’d just left Newmont. And we were crying in our beer one day and saying: ‘What are we going to do next?’”

Shortly after, Snider called Enders to tell him Barclays executive David Ellis contacted him looking for a copper team to fund through the U.K.-based bank’s Natural Resource Investments fund. The two brought

on former Phelps Dodge executives Dennis Bartlett as Cupric’s CEO, David Naccarati as a director and Lowell Shonk as vice-chairman and director.

“Did you ever see the movie Space Cowboys?” Enders asks. “They are retired astronauts, and they are asked to go into space to fi x a satellite. Well, it was kind of like us. All of us — the original five — have all left Phelps Dodge or Freeport, and were doing different things.”

That was until they were granted another opportunity to reunite and

do what they love: explore, build and run successful copper mines.

The initial Cupric team, backed with a commitment from Barclays to fund up to US$100 million, examined more than 200 copper projects worldwide in mining friendly jurisdictions.

They narrowed that down to a handful of options, which included Vancouver-based Hana Mining’s Ghanzi copper-silver project in Botswana — after Shonk read a 2009–10 Northern Miner site visit on Ghanzi — and Australian-based Discovery Metals’

nearby Boseto copper project.

Cupric made an initial investment through an open market purchase and a subsequent private placement in Hana in 2012, months before the junior published a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on Ghanzi’s Banana zone and Zone 5. The PEA had envisioned a 10,000-tonne-per-day conventional open-pit copper-silver mine, with a 13-year life.

In February 2013, Cupric took over Hana and consolidated a 100% interest in the project, renamed Khoemacau, meaning “hills of the people.”

The project’s name came from a student competition that Cupric’s subsidiary in Botswana, now called “Khoemacau Copper Mining,” had organized at the Kuke Primary school, says Rob Dey, Khoemacau’s project director, who’s spent most of his career in the South African platinum industry. A similar contest is underway to rename the mine at Zone 5.

In March 2013, Cupric appointed Rasmussen to oversee its African development projects. Rasmussen, formerly the general manager for the Los Bronces copper mine in Chile and the Tenke Fungurume mine in the DRC, is the sixth Phelps Dodge member to join Cupric.

We pull into the gated Toteng camp, which can hold 300 people. The camp’s housings and offices are all equipped with modern amenities, making one forget the rural backdrop of northwestern Botswana.

Zeroing in on Zone 5 Since arriving at the Khoemacau property, Cupric has shifted its exploration and development focus from the open-pittable resource at the Banana zone, 60 km northeast to Zone 5’s underground potential.

Cupric describes Zone 5 as a sedimentary rock-hosted stratiform copper deposit. The zone dips 60 degrees, averages 10 metres thick and is bounded by highly competent sandstones. Most of the sulphide copper mineralization occurs as bornite, chalcocite and chalcopyrite.

The sulphide ore occurs below the transitional contact at 65 to 70 metres deep, at its shallowest, and extends 1.2 km below surface.

Cupric has drilled 4.2 km of the deposit’s potential strike, noting the mineralization remains open along

strike and at depth.

“When we acquired the property from Hana, we actually liked what we bought and we liked what they had,” Enders says in the spacious office.

“We didn’t disprove anything that Hana had. We just found stuff that is so much better.”

Cupric defined a high-grade coppersilver sulphide resource at Zone 5, which as of July 2015 stood at 76.3 million tonnes grading 1.96% copper and 19.8 grams silver per tonne, at a 1% copper cut-off grade. Of that, 53% tonnes and contained metal are in the measured and indicated category.

The zone also hosts a potential 24 million tonnes at 1.94% copper and 19.5 grams silver. Cupric says it can upgrade that into inferred in its resource update in November 2015, which will include assays from this year’s 27-rig program. The company notes its target to conversion rate has been close to 100%.

Once it does that, Zone 5’s total resource could be 100 million tonnes at 1.96% copper and 19.7 grams silver.

(All estimates are Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant.)

Cupric and its predecessor Hana have completed 377,500 metres on the Khoemacau property. More than 199,500 metres were drilled on Zone 5 after Hana discovered it in 2008. Of that total, Cupric drilled 174,112 metres between 2013 and September 2015.

“Drilling during the 2014 and 2015 programs intersected mineralization at pretty much high-grade copper.

Every intersection has been over 1% copper, which is pretty good,” Cupric’s resource geologist Cathy Knight said, who previously worked for Hana.

Recent highlights include 2.3% copper and 27.2 grams silver per tonne over 12.6 metres; 2.6% copper and See CUPRIC / 13

Aberdeen shifts strategy and focus MINE DEVELOPMENT

| New PGM and lithium assets an indirect play on clean transportation technology

African Thunder Platinum’s Smokey Hills PGM mine on the Eastern Limb of South Africa’s Bushveld complex. Aberdeen International holds a 42.5% stake in the privately owned miner.

“A LOT OF SMART MONEY — NOT JUST IN MINING — IS PUTTING BETS ON ARGENTINA FOR 2016.”

or most of its corporate history, Aberdeen International (TSX: AAB) has taken minority, noncontrolling equity stakes in mostly public junior mining companies, along with a small contingent of private companies.

But over the last year or so, president and CEO David Stein has restructured the company and focused on projects where Aberdeen is the controlling shareholder, and new investors can only get a piece of the action on a particular asset by buying Aberdeen stock.

As part of that transition, Stein and his management team struck a deal in September 2014 with Landmark Equity Advisors to sell some of Aberdeen’s equity stakes and debt interests to a new partnership funded by Landmark (Ore Acquisition Partners LP), in a deal worth $12 million. Under the arrangement, which closed last month, Aberdeen will also manage the fund for a fee and receive a small minority interest in the partnership’s net profits.

With that transaction behind it, Aberdeen can focus on two assets that it has acquired over the last year: a platinum-producing mine and a platinum group metals (PGM) exploration project in South Africa, and a lithium-potash project in Argentina.

“There’s a lot of value we want to create with these first two deals,” Stein says. “We’ll still have a significant amount of cash, so we’re still open for business — but we’d have to see pretty extraordinary opportunities to distract us from our focus on these two opportunities, because they’re both exceptional, and we want to focus our limited management time to them.”

Aberdeen acquired a 42.5% stake in African Thunder Platinum — a privately held Mauritius company — for $7 million late last year.

Switzerland-based Pala Investments purchased an equal stake, and the remaining 15.5% interest is held

by Platinum Australia Ltd. and an Australian bank.

“African Thunder is a private company, so it’s exclusive to us,” Stein says.

“If you want to own a piece of it, you’d have to own Aberdeen.”

African Thunder has two assets,

_TNM_Oct26_Pg 1_2_3_4_5_11_13_14_16.indd 3

DAVID STEIN PRESIDENT AND CEO, ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL

Smokey Hills, a PGM mine and processing plant on the Eastern Limb of South Africa’s Bushveld, and Kalplats, a prospective PGM property in the country’s Kraaipan Greenstone belt. Since the acquisition closed in the first quarter of this year, Smokey Hills has been put back into production and produces platinum and palladium, which are commodities that Stein argues are in supply deficits, with longer-term demand fundamentals.

Stein says the mine — on care and maintenance before the acquisition — is being run by a South Africa-based management team. The mine is still ramping up to full production and could turn a profit in the next few quarters. “Once it’s going at full speed, it should be one of the lowest-cost operations in the country,” Stein says.

“Smokey Hills is shallow and it’s mining into the sides of a hill, so there’s no shaft. It’s all ramps ... we drive into the side of the hill and we have a plant on-site to produce concentrate.”

Aberdeen forecasts that Smokey Hills will produce 60,000 oz. a year of combined platinum and palladium once it reaches full production by the end of March 2016. “We’re focusing a lot of our corporate energy on getting Smokey Hills right,” Stein says.

Kalplats, which is probably one of the few remaining open-pittable platinum and palladium projects in the world, or at least in South Africa, Stein says, can also be a low-cost producer once it is developed over the next few years. Production is at least three years away.

“It’s a stand-alone project and is not related to the Northern, Eastern or Western Bushveld, where all the platinum producers are. It’s in a greenstone belt that is further west in the country,

so it’s more akin to a Zimbabwe-style mine geologically, with vertical reefs or layers of platinum-rich mineralization,” he says. “It will be spread over a few open pits with lots of exploration potential along strike to find new pits, and also at depth.”

Stein notes that “having a second mine in the stable would be fantastic from a creation of value perspective, and reducing risk for shareholders like us,” adding that Aberdeen is buying at a sweet spot in the cycle for PGMs, and capitalizing on low prices and hard markets.

“We’re in a strong position vis-àvis corporate consolidation in the platinum sector,” he says. “There’s weakness in the sector because of the low metal prices, poor capital markets and the capital raising environment for mining, and it’s been probably as bad or worse in South Africa for local companies that are listed on local stock markets, as it has been here in Canada. We’re definitely seeing plenty of deal flow, and that could fuel growth down the road.”

The other asset that excites Stein and his team is the Diablillos lithiumpotash project in Argentina’s Salta province. Aberdeen has agreed to buy 100% of the project from Rodinia Lithium for $5 million. Under the deal, Rodinia will keep a 2% net smelter royalty on the project, but Aberdeen has the right to buy half the royalty for $2 million, within two years of closing.

“We think we can do a lot more with it as a private company than Rodinia did owning it in the context of a public company,” Stein says, noting that by privatizing the asset, the company can build it at the right scale and with the right partners. The mining executive also likes that Diablillos is a straightforward or conventional

lithium brine project not unlike similar lithium operations owned by FMC (NYSE-MKT: FMC) and Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (NYSE: SQM), which have produced lithium since the 1960s.

Aberdeen has monitored Diablillos for more than four years, and says it is one of the largest and highest-quality undeveloped lithium brine projects in the world. But like most projects owned by junior resource companies, it has suffered from a lack of capital.

The project covers more than 95% of the Salar de Diablillos at an average 4,050 metres above sea level, and holds 32 mining claims over 81.6 sq. km.

The last resource, published in December 2011, estimated a recoverable inferred brine resource of 2.8 million tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent from an in-situ inferred brine resource of 4.9 million tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent. Diablillos also has a recoverable brine resource of 11.2 million tonnes potassium chloride equivalent from an in-situ inferred brine resource of 19.8 million tonnes potassium chloride equivalent.

A preliminary economic assessment released the same year estimated that the project would produce 15,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate a year and 51,000 tonnes of potash per year.

“The growth in the electric car market is perhaps slower than forecast a few years ago, but it is happening, and more and more vehicle-makers are using lithium ion batteries in their new cars,” Stein says. “As drivers get more comfortable with the technology, the vehicles will sell, so beyond 2020 there’s a huge gap in production for lithium, and we’ve got a nice project

ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL

with Diablillos.”

While there has been a negative perception of the geopolitical environment in Argentina, Stein says Diablillos “is located in what I’d call the ‘Nevada of Argentina,’” where the local government “has been supportive through bull and bear markets.”

He notes that although Salta province doesn’t have a lot of large mines, it has lots of smaller ones, and there hasn’t been much change there. “It seems to be stable, and that speaks to the recognition of a mining culture and its need and importance within the province’s economy,” he says.

At the federal level — while Argentina been a hard place to do business and invest on a large-scale, because of a number of policies enacted by the current government, Stein says — there are indications that this might change next year, after the presidential and congressional elections on Oct. 25.

“A lot of smart money, not just in mining, is putting bets on Argentina for 2016,” he says. Cristina Fernandez Kirchner, Argentina’s left-leaning president, and widow of former president Nestor Kirchner, will step down on Dec. 2 due to term limits. She took power in 2007.

Aberdeen was founded in 2005, when it transformed from a shell to a mining investment business. The name was kept from a prior public company engaged in a completely different business — oil and gas.

Stein joined the company in 2009 as its president and chief operating officer, after a nine-year stint as a mining equities analyst at Cormark Securities.

He took the reins as CEO in June 2012. TNM

What to expect from a Liberal government in Canada ELECTION 2015

| Miners in Canada should see greater environmental, CSR scrutiny

T

he stunning return of the Liberal Party of Canada to majority status in the federal election held Oct. 19 surprised most people in Canada, who had expected at best a surge to minority government from third place behind the ruling Conservative Party of Canada and the New Democratic Party of Canada.

By John Cumming Instead, Canadians woke up to a new political jcumming@northernminer.com landscape, with voters having taken the middle ground by rebuking the worn-out, pro-big-business Tories but not wanting to roll the dice on the more left-leaning, inexperienced NDP. Shown the door were the two most recent ministers of natural resources: Conservative Greg Rickford lost his seat in Kenora, Ont., to Liberal Bob Nault, who had a close race with the former provincial NDP leader Howard Hampton; and previous Minister of Natural Resources and current Finance Minister Joe Oliver lost his seat in Toronto. Nault was quick to give some credit for his victory to First Nations communities in the Kenora region, who mobilized to support him.

Indeed, one theme of the election was the growing political strength shown by aboriginal communities in Canada, with a record 10 indigenous people elected as members of Parliament, up three from 2011, and with a shift to Liberal from Conservative and NDP. What should miners expect from a Liberal government?

With regard to corporate taxes, the Liberals have pledged to keep them at current levels and retain the 15% flow-through credit for mineral explorers.

Most of the taxation changes will come at the personal level. For example, Canadians with taxable income between $44,700 and $89,400 will see their federal income tax rate fall to 20.5% from 22%, while those making more than $200,000 will see it rise to 33% from 29%.

Perhaps the biggest change that mine developers will see with the new government is the Liberals’ determination to reverse the Conservatives’ streamlining of environmental approvals by skipping the federal approval process, if the project had already met environmental approvals at the provincial level.

The Conservatives saw the two-stage approval process as an expensive and time-consuming duplication of effort, while the Liberals and NDP saw it as necessary oversight, with the federal government not being subject to the more parochial political pressures sometimes applied to provincial regulators.

Another change miners might see is an improved relationship between the federal government and aboriginal communities in Canada, who need to be on-side for many resource development projects to proceed in remote parts of Canada. But it’s hard to generalize on the topic, as relationships can vary from community to community across the country.

The new Liberal government has pledged to allow members of the federal civil service to speak out and attend conferences, in contrast to the muchresented muzzling of federal scientists and related bureaucrats under the Conservative regime. (Here at the Miner, in the early years of the Harper government, we’d repeatedly get federal scientists eagerly offering to write op-ed pieces or serve as expert interviewees, only to have them come back months later frustrated and embarrassed upon learning they were not permitted to talk to us. As the years passed, the emails and phone calls from federal scientists stopped completely.)

It’s hard to say if the Liberals’ pledge for a new round of massive spending on infrastructure will benefit miners (beyond aggregate miners), as most of the plan relates to public transit, social housing and green infrastructure.

Another development we might see is the retabling in a new form of the private member’s bill by then-opposition Liberal MP John McKay (who was just re-elected) to strengthen federal government oversight of the corporate social responsibility activities of Canadian mining companies operating overseas.

In naming a cabinet, we strongly recommend that newly elected Liberal MP Maryann Mihychuk in Winnipeg be considered for Minister of Natural Resources. Mihychuk is a professional geoscientist and businesswoman who served with distinction as Manitoba’s Mines Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs in the early 2000s. More recently she has been director of regulatory affairs for the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, as well as a consultant to mining firms such as Hudbay Minerals and Carlisle Goldfields, among her many mining endeavours.TNM

Silver Institute: Coin demand forces five major mints to restrict supply FACTS ‘N’ FIGURES

| Low silver prices excite bargain bullion buyers

The following is an edited summary report from the Washington D.C.-based Silver Institute. For more information please visit www.silverinstitute.org.

R

etail investors in recent months have been stocking up on silver bullion coins and, to a lesser extent, bars. Due to strong demand, the U.S. Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, Australia’s Perth Mint, the Austrian Mint and the British Royal Mint have put their silver bullion coins on allocation, where the volume of distribution of coins is controlled due to bottlenecks in the manufacturing process. This is an unprecedented industry-wide phenomenon. In recent history, putting bullion coins on allocation has only occasionally been done by the U.S. Mint. The practice points to considerable tightness in the silver coin business at the moment.

Globally, silver bullion coin sales reached an all-time high of 32.9 million oz. in this year’s third quarter, according to GFMS Thomson Reuters data. This volume was a 74% quarter-on-quarter and 95% year-on-year increase. Sales in North America, Europe, Japan and other Asian countries (mostly China) saw quarter-on-quarter growth of 74%, 72%, 95% and 202%.

As a result, lead times for silver coins have been stretched from immediate delivery to three to four weeks in some cases. This is an unusual occurrence in the industry, with several dealers stating this is the first time they have experienced

lag times for certain coin products.

Additionally, the shortage is apparently both a supply and demand issue.

While demand is strong, given the slow global economic outlook and attractive silver price, the mints are finding it hard to source the blanks needed to produce the coins.

“It is clear that investors are continuing to demonstrate their desire for silver bullion coins, and we encourage national mints across the globe to examine their manufacturing pipeline to ensure that this strong demand is met with immediate fulfi llment,” executive director of the Silver Institute Michael DiRienzo said.

Silver bars are also experiencing a slight shortage, although confined to bars under 100 oz. — specifically 1 oz. and 10 oz. bars. Delivery times have increased from immediate to a 10day delay in the most extreme cases, especially in the U.S. and Canada.

The increase in demand in recent months has been driven by bargain buying, particularly after prices fell below US$15 per oz. Demand buoyed when prices reverted back above US$15 per oz., however, as shortages in products spurred investor interest in the white metal. TNM

John Baird says pushback needed to support mining KEYNOTE

| Government and industry need to play offence, not defence “IT’S AMAZING TO ME HOW THE RULES ALWAYS SEEM TO CHANGE, JUST AS THE LAST DOLLAR GOES INTO A MINING PROJECT — JUST AS THE LAST DOLLAR OF CAPITAL IS INVESTED.”

BY TRISH SAYWELL

anada's former foreign minister John Baird says the mining industry and government “must play offence, not defence,” when it comes to defending their interests and combating anti-mining activism.

“Far too often, the industry, and to some extent government, are playing defence when it comes to anti-mining activists and their close friends in the media,” Baird declared in a keynote address at Red Cloud Mining Capital’s annual Fall Mining Showcase conference in Toronto.

“To a great extent, anti-mining activism has become a bit of an industry in this country, and it takes many, many forms,” said Baird, who resigned his post as cabinet minister earlier this year, and now sits on the advisory board of Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX), serves as a global strategic advisor to engineering and development consultancy Hatch and is a senior advisor at Bennett Jones, a law firm active in the mining industry.

“You would be absolutely amazed at how many times that we discovered Canadian taxpayers’ dollars going to fight Canadian commercial interests abroad, especially in the extractive sector,” he said during the conference.

Throughout his two decades in politics, Baird saw taxpayers’ money footing the bill for a number of anti-mining activists. In one instance, he said, the government was funding a labour group fighting a mining project in Mexico by trying to win over unionized workers, even though the workers had already chosen their existing union.

In another case, the government was funding an environmental activists’ protest to derail a Canadian mining project in South America.

And there are many others, according to Baird. “We would regularly fund First Nation groups to travel abroad to teach their brothers and sisters in the indigenous peoples’ movement to fight and derail Canadian mining projects,” he said. “But this gravy train must stop. We’ve worked tremendously hard to stop it, and we must be vigilant that this practice doesn’t

re-emerge in the future.”

Baird added that Canadians enjoy many freedoms, among them the freedom of speech and the right to protest against their government, and even industry, but that “they shouldn’t be getting money from the public purse to pursue this narrow ideology.” Baird also expressed frustration that while mining creates jobs and generates revenue for foreign governments, too often mining companies are forced to comply with a changing regulatory landscape, or put up with higher taxes and royalties once projects near completion.

“It’s just amazing to me how the rules always seem to change, just as the last dollar goes into a mining project, just as the last dollar of capital is invested,” he said, citing the Pueblo Viejo case in the Dominican Republic.

“The government of the Dominican

Republic just didn’t understand how bad the deal was with these two major Canadian companies until the last of the $3.6 billion dollars had gone into the ground, and then they realized they made a terrible mistake, and that the deal was tremendously unfair.”

Baird said when he met the president of the D.R., he was told the contract had been negotiated and signed by a previous administration and that the new government was facing pressure to take re-negotiate the contract and improve its terms.

“I reminded him: ‘Weren’t there six months' worth of hearings in the parliament in that country?’ ... and pointed to the guy sitting beside him and said, ‘didn’t you have his job in the previous administration?’ ... He sheepishly looked down and tried to change the subject.

“If the regime was good enough when a Canadian mining company

SUPPLIERS NEWS Caterpillar launches major restructuring Heavy equipment manufacturer Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) will transform how its mining, customer and dealer divisions operate with an eye toward increasing efficiency and customer satisfaction.

“These organizational changes will drive needed simplicity to the business, further enabling us to meet customer and dealer needs by becoming more nimble, lean and responsive,” Caterpillar group president for customer and dealer support Rob Charter said.

Starting in 2016, the firm’s mining sales and support division will be integrated into its global mining machine business divisions. This move will bring product, operations, sales and marketing together for surface and underground mining applications.

Caterpillar says this will align with its customers’ needs and reduce the company’s costs.

Under the new regime, surface mining sales and support teams will join the hauling and extraction division, which will be renamed the surface mining and technology division.

The underground mining sales and support teams will become part of the material handling and underground division.

Caterpillar is also creating several divisions within its customer- and dealer-facing operations to cut complexity and costs.

_TNM_Oct26_Pg 1_2_3_4_5_11_13_14_16.indd 5

The company’s distribution services divisions — the primary interface between the company and its dealers — will be lowered from three to two: one serving globally, and another for the Americas and Europe.

A global after-market solutions division will be created to facilitate the growth in after-market sales and services for the resource sector.

The company will also merge the design and manufacturing of components and after-market distribution into the new wear component and aftermarket distribution division.

A new marketing and digital division will be focused on developing a developing a marketing strategy that integrates data analytics to providing solutions and support to customers and dealers.

The group will also handle the digital transformation of the dealer and customer experience, as well as global brand management, marketing, rental services and retail sales development.

Finally, the company will create the sustainable, work tools and industry solutions division, which combines the Cat Reman and Caterpillar safety services units with the company’s machine attachment business Cat work tools.

Established 90 years ago, Caterpillar is headquartered in Peoria, Ill. In 2014 the firm generated US$55.2 billion in revenue. TNM

puts its first shovel in the ground, it should be good enough when the material is extracted, and that’s why foreign governments, when they try to pull this trick, must get some strong pushback,” Baird argued.

The career politician also said the industry needs to push back just as strongly when this happens in Canada, with “excessive efforts to over-regulate the industry through extra-territorial Canadian legislation, and when regulations are just wrong, and they don’t make sense.”

As for falling commodity prices and the slowing growth rate in China — which has dropped from 10.6% in 2010 to 9.5% in 2011, 7.8% in 2012, 7.7% in 2013, 7.4% in 2014 and to just 6.8% in 2015 — he says the status quo is now

“the new normal,” and forecasts greater consolidation in the industry.

“In my judgment, low commodity prices and the sharp decline of the Canadian dollar raise the possibility of not just further consolidation in the industry, but also for foreign takeovers,” he said. “Investment Canada’s view now is a little clearer, but it’s not clear what it would be under a new government.”

Baird noted that he was in favour of China National Overseas Oil Corp.’s acquisition of Canada’s Nexen in 2012, and had strongly supported it at the Cabinet table.

Turning to U.S. politics, Baird said that when Hillary Clinton stepped down as U.S. secretary of state in 2013, a major business group named her the best “secretary of commerce” that the country had ever seen, because she sought to transform the state department into an economic agent for U.S. enterprise.

“When it comes to mining,” he said, “the department of foreign affairs — and in my judgment, its minister — should be a global advocate for the industry. Not just in terms of trade and commerce, but in terms of diplomacy and advocacy on the political and regulatory front.”

In the extractive industry, he said, “both industry and government must stop playing defence and start playing offence — the mining sector in this country has a great story to tell, and a lot to be proud of.” TNM

OCTOBER 26–NOVEMBER 1, 2015 / THE NORTHERN MINER

MA R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / OCTOBER 9–15 The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 1% during the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday-shortened trading period to finish at 13,828.97 points. The S&P/TSX Capped Diversified Metals & Mining Index tumbled 3.7% to 469.58, while the S&P/ TSX Global Gold Index jumped 7.7% to fi nish at 145.59 points. The spot price for gold rose 3%, or US$35 per oz., to close at US$1,179.80.

Carlisle Goldfields soared after Alamos Gold, which owns 19.9% of the junior explorer, offered to buy Carlisle’s remaining shares. The all-share proposition values Carlisle at $128.5 million, or 60¢ per share. That works out to a 62% premium to Carlisle’s last pre-offer close.

The junior’s main asset is the Lynn Lake gold project in northwestern Manitoba. Alamos has an option to increase its 25% interest in the project by 60% if it spends $20 million in three years, and delivers a feasibility study.

But with the deal, Alamos can consolidate its ownership in Lynn Lake without the earn-in agreement while exposing Carlisle shareholders to Alamos’ strong production and development portfolio, which includes the Young-Davidson gold mine in Ontario and the Mulatos and El Chanate gold mines in Mexico. The transaction is set to close by year-end. Carlisle shares catapulted 147% to finish at 63¢ after the announcement.

Trevali Mining climbed after reporting on Oct. 8 strong third-quarter production results

from its Santander zinc-lead-silver mine in Peru on. Zinc production came in at 14.6 million lb. — up 7% from the second quarter.

Santander also cranked out 7.6 million lb. lead and 282,000 oz. silver, both in line with the previous quarter. The junior miner has increased Santander’s annual production guidance to 52 million lb. zinc — up from 50 million lb. — while upgrading its lead and silver targets to 31 million lb. and 1.1 million oz. Trevali has lowered its 2015 cash costs by 5% to US$48 per tonne milled. Meanwhile, the company is commissioning its 3,000-tonne-per-day Caribou mine in northern New Brunswick.

The zinc-lead-silver mine should reach commercial production in the fourth quarter. The junior advanced 59% to close at 63¢ per share.

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / OCTOBER 9–15 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index rose 1.8%, or 9.67 points, to close at 556.71 points, as gold prices gained 2%, or US$24, before closing at US$1,181.3 per oz. gold.

The yellow metal grazed a 3.5-month high on talk of delay in U.S. Federal Reserve rate hikes, and after China increased its gold holdings by nearly 1% in September.

Copper recovered 3.5% to US$5,155 per tonne (at a cash-buyer London Metal Exchange price), as China soaks up supply after hitting a 20-month high in its copper imports for September, up 30% from August.

Brent crude oil fell 8.2% to US$48.71 per barrel, with the U.S. reporting a larger-than-expected crude stockpile build.

Integra Gold topped the volume-traded category, with nearly 7.2 million shares traded before closing up 7%, or 2¢, at 32¢ per share.

The company said that 25 million shares held by Samson Belair/Deloitte Touche — in connection with the 2014 acquisition of the Sigma-Lamaque mill in Quebec — has been acquired by a group of international institutional shareholders. Integra president and CEO Stephen de Jong said it is a “winning outcome for all parties involved,” at an initial 23¢ per share.

Integra recently received 2.4 million in exercised share warrants, which brings its treasury to $24 million. The funds will help advance the

nearby Lamaque South gold project, which has various orogenic gold targets within the highly prospective Abitibi greenstone belt.

Montero Mining and Exploration’s share price jumped 350% to 5¢, after a $2.7-million investment by Ovation Capital to advance the company’s Duyker Eiland phosphate project in Saldanha Bay, South Africa.

Ovation could earn 10% in the project after a prefeasibility study, which the company expects by next year. Ovation could earn another 20% by advancing it towards a bankable feasibility study.

A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) in 2012 calculated a $126.1-million net present value at a 10% discount rate, and a 38.1% internal rate of return. The PEA envisages a production average of 490,000 tonnes annually of 33% P2O5 concentrate over 11 years.

AurCrest Gold rose 300% to 2¢ at close after launching subsidary Wiigwaasaatig Energy in a move to develop wind energy sources in remote First Nation communities around its Richardson Lake Gold property in Ontario.

The company says renewable energy in the district would provide some of the power the junior needs for exploration, and promote socioeconomic growth and sustainable development

for First Nation groups.

Atico Mining’s strong third-quarter results at the El Roble copper and gold mine in Colombia gave way to a 5% rise in share price, before closing at 40¢.

The miner produced 3.3 million lb. copper and 2,969 oz. gold, accounting for a 20% increase in copper and 1% increase in gold, compared to the same quarter last year.

US MARKETS / OCTOBER 9–15 A slowing global economy pushed U.S. industrial production down 0.2% in September, while producer prices slid 0.5% last month — the largest drop since January — and retail sales rose just 0.1%. The disappointing economic data, along with mixed earnings and declining commodity prices, renewed expectations that the Federal Reserve would delay raising interest rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.5% to 17,141.75 and the S&P 500 Index advanced 0.5% to 2,023.86. The spot price for gold gained US$44.40, or 3.9%, to close at US$1,183.40 per oz., and the Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index gained 6.2% to finish at 57.96.

Randgold Resources jumped US$4.20 to US$69.75 per share, posting the largest value gain. The company reported that its Kibali gold mine in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo could exceed its 2015 production target of 600,000 oz. gold. CEO Mark Bristow said the ahead-of-schedule vertical shaft sinking marked a major advance in the underground mine, which will complement Kibali’s open-pit operation.

Teck Resources’ shares dropped US53¢ to US$6.78 in the wake of a downgrade by Fitch Ratings. Fitch cut the mining company’s rating to BB+ from BBB-, the lowest investment-grade

level. “With the slowdown in China, Fitch believes there is an elevated risk that metal and metallurgical coal prices will be lower for longer,” Fitch analyst Monica Bonar said in a note. The analyst also cited poor commodity prices, the company’s debt and the capital it needs for its Fort Hills oilsands project.

Freeport-McMoRan was the second most traded stock, and fell US41¢ to US$13 per share.

Alamos bids $28.5M for Carlisle TAKEOVER

| Gold miner offers a 62% premium to consolidate Lynn Lake camp in Manitoba Carlisle Goldfields (TSX:CGJ)

BY SALMA TARIKH

starikh@northernminer.com

lamos Gold (TSX: AGI; NYSE: AGI) is offering to buy the shares it doesn’t already own in Carlisle Goldfields (TSX: CGJ) for $28.5 million, so it can gain a 100% interest in the Lynn Lake gold project in Lynn Lake, Man. The gold miner owns a 25% interest in the project and a 19.9% interest in Carlisle through a November 2014 agreement between its predecessor, AuRico Gold, and the junior. Under the agreement, Alamos has the right to earn up to 60% of Lynn Lake by spending $20 million and delivering a feasibility study on the project within three years.

BMO analyst Brian Quast says it’s a “wise move” that Alamos consolidates its ownership in the Lynn Lake asset for $28.5 million, and removes the earn-in agreement.

It’s also a great deal for Carlisle.

Abraham Drost, Carlisle’s president and CEO, says the firm was “concerned” about staying on track as a junior development partner if Alamos went ahead with the earn-in, and that the company would “expose our shareholders to significant dilution risk to meet our share of spending commitments.”

But the premium share deal allows Carlisle’s shareholders to participate in Alamos’ three gold mines — YoungDavidson in Ontario and the Mulatos and El Chanate mines in Mexico — as well as development projects, plus future upside in the Lynn Lake project. “Given that it’s a share deal, we participate in an active way. And it’s a great leverage to the Alamos portfolio,” Drost says.

Under the deal, Alamos would issue 5.4 million shares, or 2.1% of its current share balance. Carlisle shareholders would receive 0.0942 of an Alamos share for each share held and 0.0942 of a three-year warrant, with a $10

exercise price.

Excluding Alamos’ existing stake and Carlisle’s $5 million in cash, the deal values the junior at 60¢ apiece.

This represents a 62% premium to Carlisle’s Oct. 14 close, and a 117% premium to its 30-day, volume-weighed average price.

Desjardins analyst Michael Parkin says the 62% premium is in line with the average 54% premium paid for developers since 2011, but adds it’s a “bit steep” when compared to the average 46% premium paid since 2014 in similar transactions.

That said, Parkin notes the acquisition cost of US$4 per oz. silver resource is “relatively low.”

Lynn Lake, which offers Alamos a low-risk growth opportunity, has five near-surface deposits with a measured and indicated resource of 2.75 million oz. gold from 40.5 million tonnes at 2.11 grams gold per tonne. It has another 2.28 million oz. in inferred from 51.8 million tonnes at 1.37 grams gold.

In February 2014, a preliminary economic assessment on the project’s two main deposits — the MacLellan

mine and the Farley Lake mines — indicated strong economics for a 12year mine, with annual production of 145,000 oz. gold and all-in sustaining costs of $644 per oz. It had an after-tax net present value of $257 million and a 26% internal rate of return, using a US$1,100 per oz. gold price and a 5% discount rate.

Drost believes Lynn Lake could play an “important part” in Ala mos’ development, a nd wou ld “compete well internally for investment dollars.”

He says that “we would have loved

to build it, but we would be very happy to have Alamos build it.”

The transaction should close in December, pending approval from Carlisle’s shareholders.

Meanwhile, Alamos has cut its semiannual dividend to 1¢ per share from 3¢ to reflect the weak gold price en-

vironment, and reinvest capital into growing production.

The dividend cut could save the company $10 million a year, Raymond James’ analyst Phil Russo notes.

Carlisle closed Oct. 15 up 70% at 63¢ per share, while Alamos shares fell 5% to $6.09. TNM

Cupric’s ‘paradigm changer’ in the Kalahari CUPRIC From 2

23.3 grams silver over 19.8 metres; and 3.4% copper and 30 grams silver over 22.6 metres.

Cupric has one drill turning on the nearby Zeta NE and NE Mango zones. Both host similar mineralogy to Zone 5.

Growing with Boseto Cupric is putting the final touches on an updated feasibility study that combines Zone 5 with the recently acquired Boseto plant and infrastructure from Discovery Metals. The study should be complete in the fourth quarter.

Enders shares that the firm had an eye on the Boseto assets since acquiring Khoemacau, as the Zone 5 resource extends onto the adjacent Boseto claims. Discovery, however, held onto its assets, despite running into mining and financial troubles. It was forced to liquidate in February 2015.

Five months later, Cupric bought the Boseto pits, operational 8,000-tonneper-day plant, tailings dam, 18-megawatt power plant, workshops and offices, as well as the camp in Toteng, for US$35 million. This has boosted the firm’s land package in Botswana to 3,995 sq. km.

“There has been really a constant evolution of the project to basically better and better outcomes as a result of the things that have happened,” Enders says.

The Boseto mine opened in September 2012, but failed to meet its targeted annual copper production levels of 30,000 tonnes a year.

Over its short operating life, Boseto’s three main pits — Zeta, Plutus Stage 1 and Plutus Stage 2 — cranked out 118,906 tonnes of copper-silver concentrate, grading 39.6% copper (47,864 tonnes copper) and 640 grams silver.

“We were struggling on the mining side,” Boseto’s operations manager Stewart Wallace says, while leading a tour of the plant. Wallace is one of the 30 Discovery employees retained

by Cupric.

Some of the problems Discovery ran into included higher-than-expected dilution, mining costs and a waste-toore strip ratio of 13-to-1. As a result, copper tonnes, grade and recoveries were lower than planned.

_TNM_Oct26_Pg 1_2_3_4_5_11_13_14_16.indd 13

The original plant was designed to treat 3 million tonnes a year of 20% oxides and 80% sulphides. Cupric is now tweaking the plant so it can treat 3.65 million tonnes a year of 100% sulphide ore. (That works out to 10,000 tonnes per day, up from the previous 8,000 tonnes a day.)

Along with the upgrades, the firm will boost the plant’s existing power capacity of 18 megawatts to 22 megawatts.

Cupric estimates it will save US$120 million to US$150 million by incorporating the existing Boseto plant.

It anticipates more savings when the Botswana government connects Toteng to the power grid in mid-2018. When that happens, electricity could cost US7¢ per kilowatt-hour, compared to the diesel-generated US30¢ per kilowatt-hour.

Grid power makes up 9% of Zone 5’s projected mining costs of US$15 per tonne, and 29% of its processing operating costs, Enders says.

Charms of mining in Botswana Back at the Toteng office, mining engineer Logic Sebopeng displays a diagram of how Cupric plans to mine Zone 5 via sub level open stoping. The starter project will include four interconnected declines with three independent portals to access the underground ore, starting at 150 metres below surface.

(In the expansion case, Cupric will add more declines to Zone 5 to boost the production rate to over 6 million tonnes a year.)

Given the ore zone is bounded by competent sandstones, Cupric will not need to backfi ll the stopes. However, it will leave a small part of the ore underground for ground support.

The overall mining recovery rate is estimated at 84.6%.

Once extracted, Cupric will process the Zone 5 ore at the upgraded Boseto plant, which is 35 km away. The company is permitting a haul route between Zone 5 and the plant, with completion expected in early 2016.

Metallurgical test work indicates a 85.4% recovery rate for copper and 76% for silver. Concentrate grades should average 42% copper and 360 grams silver per tonne.

Cupric plans to use an underground mining contractor to mine the deposit,

before transitioning to an owner-operated arrangment. Part of the reason is because there’s a slight shortage of skilled underground miners in Botswana, given the country has only two operating underground mines.

But what Botswana lacks in that department, it more than makes up for with an attractive and straightforward mining policy.

The Fraser Institute’s 2014–15 annual survey of mining companies ranks Botswana as the second most attractive African country to work in after Namibia. It ranked 26 out of the 122 jurisdictions in the survey. Ontario came in at 23. Based on the survey’s Policy Perception Index, the country has the best mining regime in Africa, and overall ranks in the top 15.

On the 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index, Botswana came in the top quartile (31 out of 175), ahead of Peru and Mexico.

“I have never ever — not once, not in the airports, not in the government — have I ever seen corruption in this country,” Rasmussen insists.

On the environmental front, Botswana’s Department of Environmental Affairs authorized the company’s environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) for the Zone 5 project area last October, following a lengthy review and community consultations.

The ESIA findings indicate Zone 5 contains no archaeological sites and

isn’t “ecologically sensitive.” The noise impact of the operation should be negligible on the nearest settlements, as they are quite a distance away. The potential national income losses due to the proposed mine are 1% of its anticipated gains.

While the previous operator had conducted an ESIA report on Boseto, Cupric is finishing more environmental assessment work to connect the Boseto project to Zone 5.

Cupric takes pride in its social work, and has helped local authorities reestablish a permanent water supply to Somelo village. The settlement, 30 km away, is the closest to the Zone 5.

To date, the fi rm has spent about US$250 million on the Khoemacau project, which includes the Boseto acquisition costs. In return, it has delineated a high-grade, low-cost copper deposit at Zone 5. The deposit has strong economics, using a US$3 per lb. copper and US$20 per oz. silver price.

“We know from recent transactions in the copper space that people are still using US$3 per lb. copper as sort of a long-term price benchmark. We have a robust project, even at today’s copper prices of US$2.40. And at US$3 and above, it is just a great project,” Enders says.

Cupric will work with a large international bank to engage the market and explore its fi nancing options to develop the estimated US$350-million

starter project. The financial process should start by year-end and continue through the fi rst half of 2016, with construction expected by the second half of 2016.

Meanwhile, the firm has a mining licence and other necessary permits in hand to develop Zone 5. The Botswana government is discussing its option to acquire up to a 15% working interest in the Zone 5 mine.

“Zone 5 on its own is the best midsized high-grade copper deposit discovered in the last several years,” Enders says, explaining that its multiple mineralized zones could become a major copper-producing district.

“There’s fantastic opportunity longterm here to build this project, either at a bigger scale or longer life. And the intention is to make that happen.”TNM

that he’ll join the board and actively participate in building the business is terrific.”

Having Mimran on Teranga’s team will likely open doors across West Africa, too, where the family’s business is a large employer in Côte d’Ivoire as well as in Senegal, and where during his career, Mimran has served on the boards of several key companies in the region ranging from Compagnie bancaire d’Afrique de l’Ouest, a private retail and commercial banking group in Senegal, to Eurafrique, Sometra and Cavpa.

Before moving back to Geneva to run the family business (he spends about three weeks of each month in West Africa), the financier was based in New York, where his business affi liations included board seats on companies such as Archer Daniels Midland, a global food processing and commodities trading group headquartered in Chicago.

He has also held board seats at Milestone Merchant Partners, LLC, a merchant bank; Milestone International Asset Management; high-tech

and next generation companies such as Inaura Inc., Ample Communications and Realm Systems; Blackstreet Capital Management; and Mount Sinai Hospital. Mimran has also produced a number of Hollywood movies, including Stone, starring Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton; Henry’s Crime, with Keanu Reeves and James Caan; and Pawn Shop Chronicles, featuring Paul Walker and Elijah Wood.

Mimran’s grandfather and founder of the family business, Jacques, was born to a modest family in Algeria.

“After building his first fortune, which was confiscated during the war, he was the head of several flour mills in Morocco, before realizing his ambition to set up large industrial mills in the growing urban centres of sub-Saharan Africa.” In 1946, he created Les Grands Moulins de Dakar, and in 1963, Les Grands Moulins de Abidjan. (Today Les Grands Moulins de Abidjan is the largest flour producer in the Côte d’Ivoire, according to figures from Bloomberg.) In the early 1970s, Mimran’s founder developed a sugarcane estate in northern Senegal, and created Compagnie Sucrière Sénégalaise, a major producer and exporter of sugar.

Teranga Gold’s Sabodala open-pit gold mine in Senegal.

Explaining his latest investment in Teranga Gold, Mimran said in a press release that he was impressed by the company’s “track record of operating

and financial discipline, its high-calibre management team and its position as the only large-scale commercial gold producer in Senegal.”

He also said he looked forward to working with the company “to execute on a strong platform of sustainable cash flow generation, and achieving the company’s vision of becoming a pre-eminent, mid-tier gold producer in Senegal and Greater West Africa by leveraging its asset base, people, operating experience and social licence.”

Teranga’s Sabodala mine is situated within the West African Birimian gold belt in a part of Senegal that has only recently been opened to mining and mineral exploration.

The mine is made up of six openpittable targets, three of which have been developed and are producing, with the fourth scheduled to move into production in the first quarter of 2016, the fift h in 2017 and the sixth in 2019.

The remaining mine life based on current reserves is 11 years, but Young says that could be extended to between 12 and 15 years, with production close to 150,000 oz. gold a year during that time.

The company’s production guidance for 2015 is between 200,000 and 215,000 oz., at cash costs per oz. of US$650 to US$700 per oz., and all-in-sustaining costs of US$900 to US$975 per oz.

As of December 2014, measured and indicated resources stand at 141.8 million tonnes grading 1.33 grams gold per tonne for 6.05 million contained oz. gold, and inferred resources measuring 71.3 million tonnes averaging 1.03 grams gold for 2.37 million contained oz. gold.

Young notes that Senegal offers tax holidays for the first seven years once a mining licence is granted. (Teranga has just exited its tax-holiday period.)

Tax rates are 25% and royalties are 5%.

“You get a stability agreement over the life of the mine — including licence renewals — it is a mining friendly jurisdiction, the current president is a geologist and it has a good geology school,” Young says. “We only have a couple of expats on the geology side— the majority of the team is Senegalese, and mining is one of the six pillars of the economy.”

Commenting on Mimran’s purchase of 39.2 million shares of Teranga at 58¢ per share, analysts at Macquarie Research noted that “Mimran is a someone in Senegal,” and that while the company “didn’t need the extra cash, it will allow them to advance the mill expansion and escalate reserve defi nition on the Niakafi ri deposit, and resume exploration without taxing the balance sheet.”

“We didn’t expect this, given the US$38.4-million cash balance in the till, but when a long-term investor with deep pockets came knocking at their door and was willing to come in at market, Teranga elected to bolster their cash balance by issuing equity.”

Maquarie Research has a 12-month target price on the stock of 90¢ per share. At press time Teranga traded at 61¢. TNM

AQUARIUS PLATINUM

I

n less than a month, South African miner Sibanye Gold (NYSE: SBGL) has announced two acquisitions that will make it a big player in the platinum market, and the fifth-largest PGM producer in the world.

In September, Sibanye agreed to pay R4.5 billion (US$330 million) for the Rustenburg operations of Anglo American Platinum, a subsidiary of Anglo American (US-OTC: AAUKY; LSE: AAL).

Sibanye’s CEO Neal Froneman said the asset provided “an attractively priced entry at an advantageous moment in the price sector,” and noted that the company had made it known for some time that it was interested in extending its reach into platinum group metals (PGMs).

The Rustenburg operations in the western limb of the Bushveld complex exploit the PGM-bearing Merensky and UG2 reefs, and could produce 800,000 oz. a year of platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold (4EPGMs) over the next five years. Of that annual production amount, 500,000 oz. will be platinum.

Under the agreement, Sibanye will pay R1.5 billion upfront in cash or shares, and 35% of the mine’s free cash flow over six years, with a minimum amount set at R3 billion.

The net asset value of the Rustenburg operations according to Anglo was R7.7 billion at the end of June. For the six months ended June 30, the mine lost R500 million.

News of the Rustenburg acquisition was followed by an announcement on Oct. 6 that Sibanye is offering US$294 million for Aquarius Platinum (LSE: AQP), which owns two platinum mines: Kroondal, which is also in South Africa’s Bushveld Complex, and 140 km northwest of Johannesburg, and the Mimosa mine in Zimbabwe, which is 150 km east of Bulawayo.

Kroondal, its primary asset, is managed in a fifty-fifty pool and share agreement with Anglo American Platinum, and is up-dip from the Rustenburg mine. Mimosa is a joint venture between Aquarius Platinum (50%) and Impala Platinum Holdings, or Implats (50%).

Aquarius Platinum also owns Platinum Mile, a tailings operation next to Kroondale on land leased from the Rustenburg operations. Aquarius owns 91.7% of Platinum Mile, which recovers PGMs from the tailing streams of various platinum and chrome mining operations nearby.

Aquarius Platinum’s attributable production from all three operations during the fiscal year that ended on June 30 reached 394,000 oz. platinum,

palladium, rhodium and gold, of which 193,000 oz. were platinum.

Sibanye’s all-cash offer of US$0.195 per share is a 56% premium to Aquarius’ closing share price on Oct. 5, and a 62% premium to its volumeweighted average share price over the last 30 days.

Both Kroondal and Mimosa are shallow PGM deposits that are mined via declines that are cheaper than more conventional vertical shaft s, it says. Kroondal’s orebody is accessed via five decline shaft s up to 700 metres deep, while Mimosa runs to 200 metres below surface, and is accessed by a single decline shaft .

The company is conducting a feasibility study to expand Mimosa’s mining and processing capacity by 25–30%, and undertaking another feasibility study for a tailings retreatment project at Kroondal.

The Aquarius operations produce PGMs in concentrate, which has to be smelted and refi ned. The operations have life-of-mine concentrate off-take agreements in place for the additional processing. In Kroondal’s case, the concentrate produced is processed

by Rustenburg Platinum Mines. Mimosa has an off-take agreement with Centametal AG of Switzerland, but also delivers its concentrate to Impala Platinum’s smelter for toll processing and refining.

Platinum’s premium over palladium (US$229 per oz.) is at the lowest in 13 years, analysts at Investec Securities said in an Oct. 2 research note, adding that the platinum price has fallen 8% since September news of the emissions scandal at Volkswagen. (The EPA accused the German carmaker of violating U.S. emission regulations.)

The scandal has industry watchers forecasting that demand for diesel

cars, and the platinum used in their catalytic converters, may wane in favour of gasoline vehicles.

A catalytic converter, also known as an autocatalyst, is a pollution control device fitted to cars and trucks, and is the largest application of PGMs. “Given that diesel after-treatment systems tend to be platinum-intensive, this has raised concerns that demand for the metal may decline,” Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts wrote in an Oct. 2 research report.

“While we agree that the Volkswagen issues have increased headwinds to the metal, it is worth remembering that diesel cars have only a 3% market share in the U.S., so a switch to more palladium-intensive gasoline vehicles may be negligible.”

But the report continues that “diesel engines have been popular in Europe, accounting for more than 50% of new registrations in recent years, so a switch towards petrol may reduce platinum demand by 200 koz, or 3% of global demand over the next three years.” For its part, Sibanye isn’t sweating it. “Despite widespread diesel market concerns, we believe the global autos underpin remains firmly in place.”

The gold producer also said that, in general, PGM fundamentals “remain positive, robust and sound,” with “substantial industry-wide capex and production cuts.” It also said that the supply of PGMS produced in South Africa is “unlikely to return to precrisis levels.”

But it acknowledged that PGM pricing headwinds may “persist over the near-term,” and said “the impact of limited trading liquidity, Volkswagen fallout and excess above-ground PGM stocks remain difficult to quantify.”

Sibanye spun off from South African gold producer Gold Fields in 2013. TNM
