Optimists see ‘gems’ in besieged coal markets BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

VANCOUVER — Attending the Coal Association of Canada’s annual gathering here in downtown Vancouver, it’s clear its a pretty terrible time to be in the coal business, and that goes for both the metallurgical (met or coking) and thermal sectors of the industry. Green energy reforms in the U.S. have made thermal coal a bit of a dirty word, while industrial slowdowns in Asian economies — which played a large part in the coking coal boom of the late 2000s — haven’t helped the matter. Worldwide industrial demand growth drove large-scale mergers and acquisitions among U.S. producers and integrated miners looking to capture strong margins, as met coal prices hit highs in 2011. The global economic recession, however, has triggered a slew of bankruptcies, as producers find themselves over-leveraged in tough markets. U.S. coal miners Alpha Natural Resources, Walter Energy

and Patriot Coal have all filed for bankruptcy protection this year amid an industry slump that has driven quarterly benchmark prices for steelmaking coal to a 10-year low. Prices for met products have fallen 72% over the past four years, from a high of US$331 per tonne in 2011 to nearly US$90 per tonne in early July. During his conference presentation, Virginia-based FBR Capital Markets’s managing director Kurt Oehlberg described the coal industry as undergoing its yet another “transformation” that historically involves volatile commodity swings and prolific dealmaking. Oehlberg argued that the time is ripe for new coal outfits to find “gems in the rough” that could pay dividends when markets recover. “There were, unfortunately, a lot of transactions completed at very difficult or very high-priced times in the met coal market. We’re now in a challenging environment to try to stay alive. Discipline remains the See COAL, Page 13

Pretium lands US$540M to build Brucejack

PRETIUM RESOURCES

Pretium Resources’ Brucejack gold project in northwestern British Columbia. BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

VANCOUVER — Pretium Resources (TSX: PVG; NYSE: PVG) is proving that struggling equity markets and global economic woes can’t keep a good project down. On Sept. 15 the company announced terms for a US$540-million construction financing that

sets the stage for commercial production at its high-grade Brucejack gold property in northwestern B.C. The capital raise provides access to US$340 million at closing and will fund a “substantial portion” of the costs to develop an underground operation on Preti-

Sawiris-backed La Mancha to buy 30% of Endeavour Mining BY TRISH SAYWELL

La Mancha, a privately held investment company controlled by the family of Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris — who earlier this month tweeted that he wants to buy an island in Europe to provide a home for refugees fleeing wartorn Syria — is taking a 30% stake in Endeavour Mining (TSX: EDV; US-OTC: EDVMF). Sawiris controls the Orascom Group — one of Egypt’s largest and most diversified conglomerates, with interests in telecommunications, fertilizers, real estate and construction — and is best known in Canada (before his tweet on Sept. 3 that went viral) for providing some of the funding for launching Wind Mobile as a competitor to the country’s largest wireless carriers. Sawiris’ holding company Orascom World Investment acquired La Mancha for $500 million in 2012, and the privately held company’s investment in Endeavour underscores his commitment

to “the future of Africa and the gold mining industry.” “By combining our African assets and management skills, we will grasp future opportunities to create a leading African gold producer,” Sawiris said in a prepared statement on Sept. 21. “My strategic goal is to create value with a long-term approach. The Endeavour board and management shares this objective, and has a successful track record of building and acquiring assets in Africa.” Under the transaction, Endeavour will acquire La Mancha’s 55% stake in the Ity gold mine in the Côte d’Ivoire, US$63 million in cash and 3,500 sq. km of regional exploration properties in the West African nation. The deal also includes an in-principle commitment from La Mancha of up to US$75 million more funding to support growth “beyond immediate priorities.” In exchange, La Mancha will be given 177.1 million Endeavour shares, or 30% of the

um’s Valley of Kings and West zones. Orion Mine Finance and Blackstone Tactical Opportunities will provide the cash, which is comprised of a US$350-million credit facility; US$150-million prepayment under a callable gold and silver stream agreement; and a US$40-million private placement. The streaming component applies to 8% of life-of-mine precious metal production of 7.1 million oz. refined gold and 26.3 million oz. refined silver.

an offtake agreement wherein they will buy gold based on prevailing market prices. “We always focused on a financing that featured 50% debt and the rest a split between a metal stream and equity. We ran an internal process to figure out the ideal structure, and it was important we maintain the buy-back right on the stream, and cap the number of ounces,” Pretium president Joseph Ovsenek says during an interview.

ing cash costs of US$448 per oz. Assuming a US$1,100 per oz. gold price, the project features a US$1.5billion post-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate, and a 28.5% internal rate of return. The crown jewel at Brucejack is the high-grade Valley of Kings deposit, which hosts high-grade gold mineralization in a broad, deformed stockwork. The company hit a milestone in 2013 after a 10,000-tonne bulk sample that confirmed both lateral and verti-

‘It’s a great time to build a mine.’ — Joseph Ovsenek, president, Pretium Resources

“The big difference over the past four years is that we could have had more competitive attention from the equity markets, but there remains a lot of debt available. We’re fortunate with the high-grade nature of the deposit because it created that competition on terms and rates,” he added. Pretium has a couple of options in terms of buying back the stream and offtake components. The company can repurchase 50% or 75% of the off-take at the end of 2018 for $11 per oz., or at the end of 2019 for $13 per oz. remaining gold to be produced. Most of the metal streams can be bought back for US$237 million in 2018, or for US$272 million in at the end of 2019. Pretium can also lower the stream to 3% by paying US$150 million in 2018, or to 4% by paying US$150 million in 2019. Regarding the equity, Orion and Blackstone will both subscribe for 3.8 million Pretium shares priced at US$5.20 per share. The financing follows on the heels of Pretium securing its mine permits. In March the company scored its environmental assessment certificate from the B.C. Minister of the Environment and Minister of Energy and Mines, while the Federal Minister of the Environment delivered a positive decision in July. Pretium’s current mine plan is based on a feasibility study the company released in mid-2014 that envisions a US$747-million development featuring a 2,700-tonne-per-day gravity and flotation plant. Brucejack would produce 404,000 oz. gold annually over an 18-year mine life at all-in sustain-

cal continuity of the vein systems comprising the stockwork, and the location of high-grade mineralization corridors. The Valley of the Kings remains open to the east and west along strike and at depth. Proven and probable reserves at the Valley of Kings total 13.6 million tonnes grading 15.7 grams gold per tonne and 11 grams silver per tonne for 6.9 million contained oz. gold, and 4.6 million contained oz. silver. These reserves would account for the first decade of Brucejack’s life, while the lower-grade West zone would account for the balance. West hosts 2.9 million proven and probable tonnes of 6.9 grams gold and 279 grams silver for 600,000 contained oz. gold and 26 million contained oz. silver. “We have most of the funding in place, and the feasibility study figure was based on much higher Canadian dollars, so we’re likely looking at a better currency market for mine building,” Ovsenek says. “We’ve also advanced the project as we’ve waited for permits, and some of that has been paid for out of those capital expenditure dollars. We’ve seen some drop in oil, cement and steel prices, though labour costs haven’t really changed. On the material side it’s a great time to build a mine, because there aren’t that many competitors in development.” The development is a big win for B.C.’s mining industry, since miners active in the province have seen a number of largescale development projects stall in recent years due to permit complications. Taseko Mines (TSX: TKO; NYSE-MKT: TGB) failed to pass

the regulatory finish line at its New Prosperity copper-gold project, 125 km southwest of Williams Lake; while Pacific Booker Minerals (NYSE-MKT: PBM) is stuck in a permitting quagmire at its Morrison copper-gold project, 65 km northeast of Smithers. A tailings dam failure at Imperial Metals’ (TSX: III) Mount Polley copper-gold mine last year further muddied the regulatory waters. Other B.C.-based projects face infrastructure and financing hurdles that could make development challenging over the near-term. For example, Seabridge Gold’s (TSX: SEA; NYSE: SA) Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell bulk-tonnage copper property received its construction permits in late 2014, but the mine would cost more than US$5 billion to develop. Brucejack sits 275 km northwest of Smithers, and a mine there would create 900 jobs during construction and 600 full-time jobs during production. “From a developer’s angle the

opted to go with flotation and gravity — so we weren’t dealing with any cyanide. That definitely helped since the Mount Polley situation, and the concerns surrounding tailings ponds. I really think if we had a significant dam or something similar, we wouldn’t have moved through the process as quickly,” he adds. Pretium hasn’t slowed down development at Brucejack as it waits on permits. The company closed a US$81-million “strategic financing” with China’s Z ijin Mining Group in late 2014 to fund capital expenses, including procuring long-lead items and camp infrastructure. Pretium is in the midst of a 40,000-metre preproduction drill program, with bulk earthworks and transmission line construction underway. Ovsenek adds that Pretium’s focus is delivering Bruejack “on time and on budget,” but the company is also optimistic about exploration upside across a regional property package that encompasses over 100 sq. km. In May the company negotiated a $6-million private placement, wherein it issued 685,700 flowthrough shares priced at $8.75 per share. The proceeds will fund between 10,000 metres and 15,000 metres of grassroots drilling this year, which will target geophysical anomalies east of the Valley of Kings. “The grassroots exploration is really exciting for us, and we feel that aspect of the story can get lost at times due to all the excitement surrounding the mine. We have a big claim package, and the Valley of the Kings is on the western margin ... to the east we have a lot of potential, and we felt it would be beneficial to keep our exploration guys in the field while we build,” Ovsenek said. On Sept. 21 Pretium released assays from a drill program at the Flow Dome zone, east of Brucejack. The company says highgrade intersections — along with long intervals of low-grade mineralization — suggest a new stockwork zone, or an extension of the Valley of the Kings. The second area of interest is the Kitchenview target, which was also identified as “a potential porphyry and epithermal-style mineralized zone.” Highlights from the Flow Dome include: 21.87 grams gold over 9 metres, including 203 grams gold over 0.5 metre, from 930 metres deep in hole 657; 16.9 grams gold over 1.5 metres from 877 metres deep in hole 654; and 6.2 grams gold over 2.4 metres from 778 metres deep in hole 658. Pretium shares have traded in a 52-week range of $4.60 to $9.05, and jumped nearly 10% on the financing news to close at $7.18 per share at press time. The company has 133.5 million shares outstanding for a $952-million market capitalization. “We’ve heard quite a lot in our investment talks about that market bottom, but in truth, you never really know. The one thing we continue to hear is that if you look at the funds, the generalist investor hasn’t come back yet. Some people hint that they’re starting to look, but looking and buying are two separate things. I think until gold sentiment changes the market is going to look like it does today, but if we stay at current gold prices, we’d still look good,” Ovsenek says.

Sherritt scraps dividend, moves to protect liquidity

SHERRITT INTERNATIONAL

Sherritt International’s 40%-owned Ambatovy nickel project in Madagascar. David Pathe, president and CEO of Sherritt International (TSX: S), did not mince words when he said the company needed to take action to protect its balance sheet so that it could withstand lower commodity prices, with “more than 60% of global nickel production underwater on a cash-cost basis.” Sherritt announced after markets closed on Sept. 17 that it has suspended its 1¢-per-share quarterly dividend, noting that at current spot prices of US$4.50 per lb., nickel is down 32% since the company last cut its dividend in the first quarter of 2014, from 4.3¢ per share to 1¢ per share.

joint-venture financing (on a 100% basis and balance at June 30, 2015) becomes non-recourse to all the Ambatovy partners. (The company achieved this ahead of schedule, on Sept. 21). Sherritt is the operator with a 40% stake, and its partners are Sumitomo (27.5%), Korea Resources (27.5%) and SNC-Lavalin (5%). Commenting on the cost-cutting news, base metals analyst Raymond Goldie of Salman Partners in Toronto said “the depletion of China’s inventories of highgrade nickel laterite ores, around the end of October, is likely to trigger a bull market in nickel,” adding that “the situation reported

Ambatovy reached commercial production in January 2014, and produced 37,000 tonnes of finished nickel. A world leader in mining and refining nickel from lateritic ores and the largest independent energy producer in Cuba — with oil and power operations across the island — Sherritt said prices for nickel and crude oil haven’t traded so low since 2009. Sherritt also said it would cut capital expenses in 2016 by as much as 35%. Earlier this year the company trimmed its 2015 capex guidance by $15 million to $195 million. Pathe was unavailable for an interview to discuss the cost-cutting measures, but in a press release the company said that suspending the dividend and cutting capital spending and operating costs are part of a strategy to maximize liquidity by conserving cash and equivalents, and short-term investments; manage capital spending and operating costs by aligning capital spending with cash-flow generation in 2016; and achieving financial completion at Ambatovy in Madagascar by the end of September, at which point the US$1.7-billion Ambatovy

by Sherritt is likely to be one of the factors propelling nickel prices upward.” At BMO Capital Markets, analyst Aleksandra Bukacheva estimated that eliminating the dividend would preserve $12 million a year, while reduced capital expenditures will save $68 million. “Positively, the company’s focus on capital conservation is an adequate and welcome response to the continued and potentially extended commodity price downturn,” she wrote in a client note, adding that the move will “somewhat alleviate the company’s projected treasury depletion associated with corporate expenditures, interest and principal repayments, including its share of Ambatovy joint-venture debt interest and principal repayments, estimated at $123 million in 2016.” But the analyst also said that the reductions “appear insufficient to align the company’s cash balances and cash generation with the timing of its debt maturity (i.e., a $250-million note due in

2018) if the nickel price were to remain at the current level,” and pointed out that Sherritt’s overall debt levels “also remain high at $3.3 billion.” In addition, Bukacheva said that while Sherritt expects to achieve financial completion at the Ambatovy project in Madagascar by the end of this month, “further operating cost reductions would be required to bring the mine into the positive cash flow territory,” given that its second-quarter cost of US$5.48 per lb. nickel “was 18% above the spot nickel price.” At steady state production next year, however, she estimates that cash costs at Ambatovy will fall to

US$4.11 per lb., or 9% below the current spot price. Ambatovy is the largest finished nickel and finished cobalt operation from lateritic ore in the world, and has an annual design capacity of 60,000 tonnes of nickel and 5,600 tonnes of cobalt. The mine life is a projected 29 years, and the plant facilities were commissioned in 2012, starting up the same year. Ambatovy reached commercial production in January 2014, and produced 14,821 tonnes of finished nickel (on a 40% basis). News of the dividend and capex cuts sent Sherritt’s shares down 6¢ to 94¢, on 11.5 million shares traded.

Burkina Faso rattled by coup BY JOHN CUMMING

For global gold miners, the emerging gold mining industry in Burkina Faso has been a wonderful success story of discovery and mine development in a land that until recently had little modern industry of any kind, or infrastructure. Out of nowhere, Burkina Faso has become Africa’s fifth-largest gold producer after South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania and Mali. Thanks to higher head grades at Iamgold’s Essakane mine in the northeast and Semafo’s Mana in the west, Burkina Faso’s gold production rose 10% last year to 1.2 million oz., compared to 93,000 oz. gold as recently as 2007. Equally as important, most foreign gold mining companies and their personnel on the ground in the former French colony have genuine affection for the welcoming and peaceful local population, and hope modern gold mining carried out to international standards can bring wealth to the 18 million people living in one of the world’s poorest countries. And so there was concern by miners over the past week, with news of a coup d’état by the presidential guard in the capital Ouagadougou on Sept. 16 — only weeks before a national election that would have tested the country’s transition to democratic rule. The dispute began with last November’s ouster of former president Blaise Compaoré, who fled after three days of street protests across the country by mostly young citizens tired of his 27 years of autocratic rule. The country transitioned to interim president Michel Kafando, who was supposed to govern until the general election that had been scheduled Oct. 11, 2015. This arrangement held up for months until last week’s coup, which saw Compaoré loyalists in the presidential guard seize the country’s leadership during a cabinet meeting and install coup leader General Gilbert Diendéré as president. The guard also seized the state broadcasting station and postponed the election indefinitely. The looming election was indeed a catalyst, with former members of Compaoré’s ruling party banned from running under an election code adopted earlier this year. The presidential guard was also set to be disbanded, and had been under investigation by the interim government for the 1987 assassination of junta leader Thomas Sankara, which helped bring Compaoré to power. The coup was immediately denounced by the interim government’s most powerful allies France and the U.S., as well as the African Union, while regional powers such as Nigeria, Senegal and Benin stepped in as valuable mediators. The Burkinabe population wasn’t about to see its fledgling democracy slip away either, and again took to the streets in protest, with some 10 people killed and 100 injured in confrontations. Across the country, the army left their barracks in several towns to march on their own capital on Sept. 21, vowing to remove the coup leaders without bloodshed. French President François Hollande said the coup leaders would “face the consequences” if they did not “immediately lay down arms and hand over power to the legitimate authorities.” This seems to have done the trick: coup leader Diendéré soon pledged to hand over power to civil authorities based on proposals of the regional mediators, and released captive Prime Minister Yacouba Isaac Zida. At press time, Diendéré had apologized to the nation, the army headed back to their barracks and Kafondo has been formally reinstated as interim president in a ceremony in the capital. While the coup was a shock and setback, its quick resolution in a way reaffirms the generally peaceful and pragmatic ways of Burkinabe political life. Gold miners declared that their operations weren’t affected by the past week’s events, and this is quite believable, as their mines are well away from the centre of the action in Ouagadougou, and under such circumstances staff in corporate offices in the capital can usually hunker down for at least a few weeks and carry out limited activities, without much long-term effect.

Roskill: Innovation and consolidation in order for proppant sector

The following is an edited summary from Roskill Information Services, outlining its new report, Frac Sands & Proppants North America: Industry, Markets & Outlook 2015. The report provides a detailed technical and economic analysis of the sector. For more information and to buy the full report, visit www.roskill.com. Over the last year North American proppant and frac sands producers have faced a whole new paradigm with lower oil prices. The North American petroleum industry and its suppliers were taken by surprise by a drop in oil prices from US$105 per barrel in June 2014 to below US$45 per barrel by the end of January 2015 (along with a quantum drop in natural gas prices).

sources so quickly in North America was the explosive expansion in output of hydraulic fracturing proppants, particularly natural frac sand. The tempo of development is unprecedented in the mineral extractive industry. Industrial sand production in the U.S. had reached a 30-year plateau of 20 to 25 megatonnes per year by 1970, with frac sand for conventional oil and gas wells accounting for 1% of its usage. Since then, a 200-fold increase in frac sand volume has occurred — most of it since 2002. By the end of 2014, natural frac sand accounted for over twothirds of the U.S. 75 megatonnes per year production of industrial sand. Demand for proppants, however, has not been a simple linear function of oil and gas

The key to unlocking vast shale oil and gas resources so quickly in North America was the explosive expansion in output of hydraulic fracturing proppants, particularly natural frac sand. Petroleum companies reacted quickly, and the number of drilling rigs operating halved between June 2014 and May 2015. The brunt of the drop in demand for proppants fell on ceramic- and resin-coated sand producers, as shale drillers substituted natural sand for these higher-priced proppants and suspended plans for the deep shale resource exploitation, where they are most required. However, frac sand producers have also been hit hard by falling prices, cost-cutting and consolidation. As demand drifted away, attention became focused on cost cutting in both the oil and proppant industries, an activity for which there was little time during market expansion. Significant success has already been realized. With lower fuel prices, further savings on mining, processing and transportation will increase profitability of frac sands at lower prices. In the oil sector, according to EOG Resources, the return on investment in 2012 at US$95 per barrel oil was lower than in 2014, at US$65 per barrel oil. The current challenges should not detract from the overall key trends in the frac sands and proppant industries. The hectic pace of shale hydrocarbon exploitation in the U.S. and Canada within the last 10 years has reversed the decline in exploitable oil and gas reserves, and pushed so-called peak oil (and gas) decades into the future. The key to unlocking vast shale oil and gas re-

development. Rapid changes in drilling technology and evolution of hydraulic fracturing techniques have accelerated the rate of proppant application per hole drilled, and the full potential is still to be realized. A major innovation of the proppants industry has been to take control of the logistics chain from plant loading, long distance transportation, portable storage near the destination market, transloading and “last mile” trucking to the shale drilling project. This practice for successful proppant suppliers is driving consolidation toward large, experienced companies. Small companies are becoming suppliers of washed or crude sand to some of the big operators. Another key development in the industry has been the vertical integration of a few major petroleum companies into frac sand mining and processing to ensure timely delivery of supplies. Roskill has developed analysis techniques to forecast the variable decline in demand and prices for the three proppant types, and their expected recovery periods and future prices. This also served to identify the beginning of a major change in the dynamics of future oil and gas prices as a result of the success of hydraulic fracturing. This change might be described as the “commoditization” of oil and gas. With the expansion of shale exploitation outside of North America, many of North See FACT ‘N’ FIGURES, Page 5

MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST

Ivanhoe sparks Laurentian-Limpopo partnership Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN; USOTC: IVPAF) has partnered with Laurentian University in Sudbury and Limpopo University in South Africa to develop Limpopo’s geology department into a “centre of excellence in geosciences.” Ivanhoe, through its South African subsidiary Ivanplats, has committed US$2.5 million to fund the renewable partnership for its first five years. The partners’ goals for the project include: improving training and curriculum for economic geology and mineral exploration at Limpopo; more teaching and research for graduate students; equipping laboratories; buying a vehicle and trailer for field trips; and collaborating with Laurentian to improve Limpopo’s learning programs. The partnership will also see Ivanplats provide training opportunities for students from both universities, and help them with research on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. Laurentian providing $500,000, which it received from the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology. Another $570,000 comes from Laurentian, via Canada’s International Development Research Corp. The money will bring 35 Limpopo students to Laurentian to study mineral exploration and economic geology, at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Advanced graduate students from Laurentian will also travel to Limpopo, where they will teach and help junior faculty. “Canada’s Sudbury basin and South Africa’s bushveld complex are two of the most extraordinary geological features on earth, and now host two of the largest mining districts on earth — as well as these two enterprising universities,” Ivanhoe founder and chairman Robert Friedland said.. “The University of Limpopo can now draw on Laurentian’s vast experience to enhance its preparation of young South Africans with knowledge and skills that are re-

America’s existing proppants producers will be in a good position to supply foreign projects and return to full capacity. Ceramic proppants, primarily for deep, high-pressure wells, are also covered in Roskill’s report as imports play a role in the U.S. Ceramic proppants are produced by just five companies in the U.S., but by over 90 companies in the largest producer, China, two in Brazil, three in Russia and one in Italy. Chinese shipments enter North America through the port of Seattle and thence by rail to producer-owned or contracted transload facilities near shale plays in North America. Only one Russian producer serves the North American market. It ships from St. Petersburg to Duluth, Minn., via the St. Lawrence Seaway, and onward by rail to its own transload terminals near the main shale plays in the U.S. and Canada. One producer in Brazil ships to Houston, where it has contracted with a logistics/distributor for supplying market areas.

Representatives of the South African and Canadian governments, Ivanhoe Mines and Laurentian and Limpopo universities mark the educational partnership last month at Limpopo’s Turfloop campus in Polokwane, South Africa. quired tickets to productive, rewarding careers in their modernizing mining industry,” he said.

For Ivanplats, the project is a “pillar of its social and labour plan,” Ivanplats managing director Patri-

cia Makhesha said. “It’s part of our commitment to contributing to sustainable communities.”

Ivanhoe is advancing its 64%owned Platreef polymetallic project in the Bushveld Complex’s Northern Limb, 280 km northeast of Johannesburg. In early August the company started a feasibility study for Platreef, having releasing a positive prefeasibility study for the project in January 2015. That study outlined a large underground operation and 4-million-tonne-per-year concentrator, with a 31-year mine life. The study estimated US$1.2 billion in preproduction costs and an initial annual production of 433,000 combined oz. platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold, plus 19 million lb. nickel and 12 million lb. copper. The mining plan requires two shafts. Work on sinking the first shaft is underway and expected by 2018, with a 7.3-metre diameter and at 975 metres deep. Early works for the second shaft are scheduled this year.

MARKET NEWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE Canada’s benchmark index gained ground during the week, adding 185.33 points, or 1.4%, to close at 13,646.80 points, as investors took in the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates near zero. Gold miners enjoyed a strong run, with the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index advancing 7.2% to 128.40 points. The boost came after the spot gold price added US$31 to finish at US$1,139.90 per oz. Base metal firms were less fortunate, as the S&P/TSX Capped Diversified Metals & Mining Index fell 4.8% to 435.10. Spot prices for copper, lead, nickel and zinc all finished lower. Stonegate Agricom soared 50% to close at 3¢ per share. On Sept. 16, it reported that recent work has confirmed previous groundwater pumping assumptions used in a 2012 feasibility study for its Paris Hills underground phosphate mine in Idaho. As result, Stonegate intends to restart permitting activities for Paris Hills, which it suspended in January 2015 due to uncertainty over the groundwater estimates. The company expects to receive final permits for the Paris Hills Lower Zone mine in 2016. Once up and running, the mine should produce 904,000 tonnes of saleable phosphate rock concentrate a year over an estimated 19-year life.

Alexco Resource shares rose 41% to 62¢ on strong drill results from its 2015 program at the Bermingham deposit in the Yukon. Notable true width intercepts include 5 metres grading 7,462 grams silver per tonne, 4.8 metres at 2,357 grams silver and 2.4 metres of 3,774 grams silver. Alexco notes the 2015 drilling — combined with the highgrade discovery intercept from 2014 — has outlined a high-grade silver- and gold-bearing zone over 140 metres down-plunge across 40 metres wide. The zone, which Alexco suggests could be a “game changer” for the Keno Hill silver district, averages 3.7 metres in true thickness and remains open for expansion.

Torex Gold Resources jumped 21% to $1.38 per share after the company resettled 102 families in the La Fundicion village at its wholly owned Morelos gold property in Mexico. The relocation enables waste stripping of the El Limon pit to start in support of reaching full production rates of 14,000 tonnes per day by late 2016. The project remains fully funded and on track for first gold production in late 2015. On Sept. 21, the com-

pany signed a letter of intent with the Guerrero state government to have permanent police presence near Morelos, in light of recent security concerns in the area. Royalty and streaming firms Royal Gold and Franco-Nevada led the week’s value gainers on the back of higher gold prices. Royal Gold jumped $4.78 to $63.31 per share, and Franco Nevada added $4.38 to finish at $57.92 per share.

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index had a bumpy ride, but gained 2.71 points en route to a 549.91-point close. The uneven trading sessions followed the rise and fall of copper and oil futures, which started strong before stumbling later in the week. Markets dealt with uncertainty over a U.S. interest rate hike after the Federal Reserve deferred a decision on an increase until year-end, while Statistics Canada reported that the Canadian financial system gained 12,000 jobs in August, as full-time employment rose by 54,400. November contracts for West Texas Intermediate crude oil briefly hit a four-week high of US$47, before taking a dive and finishing relatively flat at US$44.87 per barrel. December contracts for copper dropped 2%, or US5¢, en route to a US$2.40 close, while December contracts for gold gained 3.1%, or US$34.20, before closing at US$1,138.10 per oz. Abitibi Royalties approached the top of the value-added column after acquiring a royalty near an advanced-stage Canadian gold project. The company gained 13¢ on 23,100 shares traded before closing at $2.39 per share. Abitibi paid $12,000 in cash for

U.S. M ARKETS The U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates near zero heightened worries about how weak global economic growth would affect U.S. corporate earnings. Fed Chair Janet Yellen said the impact of the global economic slowdown on the U.S., along with financial market volatility and languishing inflation at home, were all factors in her decision not to raise rates. The Fed’s next meeting will be held on Oct. 27–28. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3% to 16,384.79 and the S&P 500 Index dropped 0.2% to 1,958.03. For the week, gold rose 2.8% to US$1,139.80 per oz. and the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index advanced 8.1% to 48.67. Copper fell 2.2% to US$2.39 per lb., nickel was down 6.5% to US$4.37 per lb., lead dropped 1% to US76¢ per lb. and zinc fell 7.9% to US76¢ per lb.

Randgold, AngloGold to revive Obuasi

ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI

Mark Bristow (left), Randgold CEO, and Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan, Anglogold Ashanti CEO, at the press conference announcing the Obuasi deal in Ghana.

But in recent years, Obuasi’s cash costs and all-in sustaining costs have soared. AngloGold reported total cash costs of US$1,086 per oz. in 2014, US$1,406 per oz. in 2013 and US$1,187 per oz. in 2012, while all-in sustaining costs reached US$1,374 per oz. in 2014, US$2,214 per oz. in 2013 and US$2,201 per oz. in 2012. “The bottom line was that it was a mining method ill-suited to the mine, and as a result, productivity was nowhere near where it needed to be for an asset like that,” AngloGold’s senior vice-president of investor relations and corporate communications Stewart Bailey explains. “In layman’s terms, you had people drilling the orebody using handheld drills. The mine had just been operated in a manual fashion.” “Now what you’re going to have is jumbos — mechanized drill rigs with several drill bits that can drill at a fast rate — and the advancement rate will greatly improve,” the executive says in a telephone interview from the sidelines of the Denver Gold Forum. Another constraint was the lack of flexibility in getting men and material underground to depths of 1,500 metres, and retrieving the ore from underground to surface, Bailey continues. In 2012 the company developed a ramp access in order to supplement the vertical hoisting infrastructure and help debottleneck the operation. “We think the combination of the decline ramp and the existing shaft infrastructure will get the productivity up,” Bailey says. “It’s difficult to just snap your fingers and change the mine from a labourintensive one into a mechanized operation. You need to redesign it and retrench a lot of people, and that’s a difficult transition to make. We’ve done it now, and that transition has been made. “Let’s not forget that it’s a world-class orebody,” he adds. “It’s big, it’s high-grade and there’s potential to convert resource to reserves, but it only works if the mine is making a margin, and this is what this redevelopment plan with Randgold is aimed at doing.” In a presentation at the Denver Gold Forum, AngloGold’s CEO Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan pointed out that the companies have worked together on two mines — Morila in Mali and Kibali in the Democratic Republic of the Congo — with excellent results, and noted that “this move for us is a no-brainer. “Both companies bring in complementary skills and have mutual respect for one another, and need-

less to say, Mark’s track record in continental Africa is well understood by everybody.” If Randgold’s development plan meets both parties’ investment criteria, the groups will form a joint-venture company and jointly fund Obuasi’s redevelopment. Both companies will have an equal number of directors on the board.

eight mines in production — and enjoys a stable government, has a favourable mining and tax code, excellent infrastructure and a well-trained labour force. BMO Capital Markets’ Breichmanas estimates that following redevelopment, the mine “should be capable of reaching production rates of 450,000 to 550,000 oz. per annum achieved before operating problems emerged.

turn approaching 20% if costs comparable to those achieved at [Randgold’s] Loulo can be demonstrated.” As for Randgold, the proposed joint venture for the revival of Obuasi “shows we’ve still got lots of energy, and certainly have no intention of losing our momentum or direction,” Bristow said during a presentation at the Denver Gold Forum, adding that the

‘This move for us was a no-brainer.’ — Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan, CEO, AngloGold Ashanti “While the development plan should better demonstrate the capital required and the anticipated economics, the ability to acquire an interest in a world-class asset through sharing costs and investing in infrastructure appears to enable Randgold to achieve its investment criteria,” the Londonbased analyst wrote in a client research note. “For example, assuming total capital costs of US$0.5–1 billion and production of 500,000 oz. per annum ... the project could generate an internal rate of re-

debt-free company he heads celebrated its twentieth birthday in August. “Unlike many of our peers, we are not worrying about survival, we are planning for growth,” Bristow continued. “Organic growth through discovery and development remains our core growth strategy, but as the recent Obuasi deal shows, we are also ready to take other routes to test whether we are able to convert world-class deposits into world-class mines, when the situation meets our investment criteria.”

RANDGOLD, From Page 1

Alka Singh, an independent mining analyst in Toronto, points out that Randgold’s Bristow “has talked for months about the company’s willingness to acquire the right asset to add to its operating mines. “Among the major gold producers, Randgold has coped with the declining gold price and other problems affecting the industry better than most of its rivals,” she says. “In my view, it is a better operator than AngloGold, and their history of working as partners will help in pooling the resources at Obuasi and turning it around.” Singh notes that Ghana is one of the most geologically prospective countries in Africa, with four main gold belts — Kibi, Ashanti, Asankrangwa and Sefwi — and that the Ashanti belt, home to Obuasi, has been the most productive gold-bearing zone in the area to date, having produced gold for centuries, and mined by European operators since the 1800s. “If I had to go and build a mine in Africa, Ghana would be my first and only choice,” she says, noting that Ghana is the continent’s second-largest gold producer — with

Optimists see ‘gems’ in besieged coal markets COAL, From Page 1

order of the day, so those in bankruptcy are being forced to restructure and reorganize portfolios. Many companies are looking for a realistic core basket of assets around which they can survive.” In the international sphere , he said there’s “less likelihood of dramatic restructuring, but they’re all looking at their portfolios and refocusing. That means there is an active transaction environment. Most of us realize that pretty much any project you wanted to discuss right now would be on the table. Almost everything is for sale.” But transactions can be a tricky business when the commodity in question has an uncertain outlook. According to Oehlberg, there is plenty of demand on the buy side for coal assets, but companies with quality mines are hesitant to sell, since these projects often service high debt loads. Industry-altering deals aren’t yet a reality. In late 2014, Peabody and Glencore (LSE: GLEN) merged a pair of neighbouring Australian mines to save costs, while Alpha sold off its Amfire assets in Pennsylvania to Rosebud Mining for US$86 million. Blackhawk Mining recently picked up most of Patriot’s operations in a bankruptcy auction, which included measures to “appease creditors.”

TNM Sep 28 2015 Issue.indd 13

The Donkin coal project in Nova Scotia which owned by Kameron Collieries, a Cline Group subsidiary. “There are better acquisition opportunities out there than we’ve seen for over a decade,” Oehlberg said. “More often than not the gems are diamonds in the rough. These are assets that need to be worked on and honed to become an asset that supports a new company. These assets tend to be a little cheaper because you have to spend money, and someone has to de-risk it. We all want excellent coal quality, long-life reserves, low cash costs and good infrastructure. But you won’t find all of that at a good valuation. We need to go into tough places and figure out the upside.”

Virginia-born coal magnate Christopher Cline has already waded into the acquisition market and picked up a pair of coal assets in Canada. Cline’s new private company Cutlass Collieries is on the lookout for undervalued projects that fit the so-called “gem” criteria. In late 2014, Cutlass picked up a 75% interest in the fully permitted Donkin coal project in Nova Scotia from Glencore for an undisclosed amount. The company hopes to hit production in early 2016, and produce thermal coal for Canadian and export markets.

MORIEN RESOURCES

Cutlass followed up by acquiring Coalspur Mines (TSX: CPT; ASX: CPL) and its Vista coal project in Alberta for US$12 million in early March. “We’ve embarked on a few international endeavours,” Cutlass CEO Paul Vining, who previously helmed Alpha, told conference attendees. “Somebody had asked who has ‘dry powder,’ or, in other words: ‘Who else is buying?’ Look at who is acquiring the bonds of the coal companies in the U.S., because that’s a proxy on who is making a bet on coal. When we looked at Donkin we analyzed logistics, cost structures, access to ports, the re-

source and the local workforce.” Vining said Vista is “a great lowcost project, but it’s a long way from a port. We’ll take a look at the mine design, and do things a little more economically. It’s a two-year build out once you get started, so we need a little light at the end of the tunnel. It’s a bit of a longer play, though it’s permitted and ready to go.” BMO Capital Markets analysts said in late August that North American thermal coal is one of the “most challenged” sectors within its metals and mining coverage. Meanwhile, BMO analyst Jessica Fung wrote in mid-September that the outlook for met coal is “relatively weak” due to falling steel and scrap prices. Oehlberg wrapped up his talk by noting that “investors are interested in finding a way to position themselves for the upturn, and though financial markets are guarded, equity players are warily watching what is occurring in the coal industry. “There are things that will change the marketplace and there are investors who want to provide capital to the right management team looking at the right gem. The world needs reliable electricity, and we’re shooting ourselves in the foot with some of these beliefs in certain forms of energy that defy logic and economic assessment.”

company’s enlarged share capital. If Endeavour’s shareholders approve the deal, the Vancouverbased company will add a fifth gold mine in West Africa to its portfolio; increase total gold production to a rate of 580,000 oz. per

year; and strengthen its balance sheet by reducing net debt from US$242 million to US$159 million, and slashing its net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ratio from 1.3 times to 0.7 times. The transaction also increases

Endeavour’s attributable proven and probable reserves by 22% to 4.8 million oz. gold (measured and indicated resources rise by 23% to 8.5 million oz. gold), and will fund development of Endeavour’s Houndé project in Burkina Faso, after a construction decision early next year. The agreement includes a twoyear lock-up on the Endeavour shares issued to La Mancha. Sawiris will also be appointed to Endeavour’s board of directors, along with La Mancha’s current president and CEO Sébastien de Montessus. (De Montessus will also become Endeavour’s president, and within 24 months, transition to CEO.) Endeavour estimates that it is paying US$17 per oz. for Ity based on the mine’s attributable proven and probable reserves (55% of 1.6 million oz.), or US$9 per oz., based on the mine’s measured and indicated resources (55% of 2.9 million oz.). Looking at the deal based on Endeavour’s market value of 58¢ per share, the value of the 177.1 million new shares issued to La Mancha is US$77.9 million. “This kind of transaction doesn’t happen every day, particularly in the current depressed state of the

market, and commodity prices more generally,” Doug Reddy, Endeavour’s executive vice-president of business development, says in an interview from the sidelines of the Denver Gold Forum. “Instead of going out and doing an equity raise, we’ve got something that no matter how we look at it,

‘This kind of transaction doesn’t happen every day, particularly in the current depressed state of the market, and commodity prices more generally.’ — Doug Reddy, executive VP of business development, Endeavour Mining there are pluses to it for Endeavour, with the exception of dilution. “It boils down to a new investor becoming a major shareholder with a standstill and lock-up of his interest, and he is doing that because he’s got the same view of Endeavour that we have, which is that it’s a good platform for creating a premier African gold mining company — and that’s why he’s coming in to be our number-one shareholder.

later management picked up a second mine — Nzema, in Ghana — followed by Tabakoto in Mali, in 2013. Endeavour built its fourth mine — Agbaou, in Côte d’Ivoire— taking it into commercial production in 2014. “Our history has been acquisition, build, improve, move on and bring the cost down,” Woodyer said in a presentation at the Denver Gold Forum. “If you look at our cost profile over this period of time, we started near US$1,200 per oz., and we brought it down progressively to just over US$900 per oz.” Outlining the benefits of the latest transaction with La Mancha, Woodyer said the US$63 million in cash “is a tremendous benefit — it gives us a step-change in strengthening the balance sheet,” and helps “finance the construction of the Houndé project from our own resources.” It also adds a fifth producing mine and more cash flow, and gives it more exploration projects, which Endeavour says would make it the largest exploration company in Côte d’Ivoire. The mining executive — whose 30 years in the resource sector includes a stint as CEO of Lloyds International Trading, a subsidiary of Lloyds Bank PLC, specializing in project and trade finance and commodity trading — also pointed to La Mancha’s track record over the last three years. Not only has the company increased production from about 50,000 oz. gold a year to 85,000 oz. gold, but it has cut costs, too, with AISC in the first half of 2015 about US$700 per oz. La Mancha has also shown solid exploration results, he says, enlarging its resource base since 2011 from 200,000 oz. gold to 2.9 million oz. “They’ve spent US$25 million on exploration over the last few years and that program is ongoing, so we’d look to add ounces going forward,” he says. “We’re buying a viable mine, with big upside potential in terms of cash generation.” La Mancha could bolster Ity by adding a carbon-in-leach circuit (CIL), with an expansion project winding its way through a final feasibility study. Ity’s heap-leach reserves support a three-year mine life, which could extend to five years by using some of the oxide reserves that are slated for the CIL project. If the CIL processing plant is built in 2017, gold production could begin in 2019, with the mine life extending until 2029. Other shareholders in the Ity mine, 480 km northwest of Abidjan, are Côte d’Ivoire’s state mining company Sodemi (30%), the government directly (10%) and Ivorian professional soccer player Didier Drogba, who plays for the Montreal Impact club (5%).

Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM) says the El Barqueno gold project in Mexico could become a heap-leach operation similar to its La India gold mine and the stand-alone Creston Mascota pit, near its Pinos Altos gold mine. “We’ve got a minimum of La India-type open-pit material, and we do think there is potential ultimately for a Pinos Altos-style underground — but we are still working there,” Sean Boyd, the company’s vice-chairman and CEO, said at the Denver Gold Forum. On Sept. 21, Agnico reported that recent drilling at the 328 sq. km property in Jalisco state expands mineralized zones. El Barqueno has three blocks of land, including the original El Barqueno package acquired from Cayden Resources last November, and two nearby blocks bought from Soltoro Ltd. in June 2015. During the first eight months of 2015, Agnico drilled 36,000 metres in 148 holes on the project to delineate the limits of the AztecaZapoteca, Angostura and Pena de Oro prospects, as well as test for other mineralized structures and extensions. The main mineralized trend at El Barqueno has at least 8 km of strike potential. A recent hole from AztecaZapoteca returned 8.04 grams gold per tonne over 5 metres at 227 metres deep. Another hole

hit four lenses between 173 and 303 metres deep, including 2.25 grams gold over 3.6 metres at 303 metres deep. The prospect has a 1.2 km strike length and is open at depth and along strike. Some 800 metres northwest of Azteca-Zapoteca, a hole at Angostura cut 15.4 grams gold over 3 metres at 87 metres deep. The prospect has a more than 1 km strike length, and seems to plunge shallowly southwest.

ing, are also underway. BMO analyst Andrew Kaip notes that El Barqueno “reflects an important greenfield project for Agnico Eagle, with similarities to the company’s existing Mexican heap-leach operations.” While Kaip has no value on the project, he says an initial resource estimate or technical report showing “economic viability of a potential operation may provide upside to the Agnico Eagle

Agnico Eagle has budgeted $22 million to explore El Barqueño this year. At the Pena de Oro prospect, 6 km east of Azteca-Zapoteca, drilling has extended the target’s strike length to over 800 metres, with recent intercepts including 10.82 grams gold over 4.9 metres at 32 metres deep, and 2.69 grams gold over 27.5 metres at surface. “On the advanced exploration stage the one that has jumped ahead of everything else at this point, in addition to Amaruq, would be El Barqueno,” Boyd says. Under this year’s $22-million budget for El Barqueno, Agnico has 10 rigs turning on the property, and plans another 32,000 metres by year-end. A maiden resource estimate should be out by mid-February 2016. Preliminary studies on mine design, as well as metallurgical test-

valuation.” In northern Mexico, drilling at Creston Mascota and La India are showing potential for growth. Recent infill drilling at Creston Mascota in Chihuahua state has indicated higher-grade and wide intercepts within the pit boundaries. This could increase reserves and extend the mine life beyond 2018. At the nearby La India mine in Sonora state, infill drilling and mine reconciliation data, combined with metallurgical test work on sulphide mineralization, should add to both oxide and sulphide reserves and resources, and could increase the mine’s life beyond 2020. Kaip has a $30 price target and “market perform” rating on the stock.
