Matt Manson and the long road to production at Renard INTERVIEW

| TNM’s Mining Person of the Year for 2016

BY JOHN CUMMING jcumming@northernminer.com

n this feature interview, Matt Manson, president and CEO of Stornoway Diamond (TSX: SWY), reflects on his decade-long journey leading the company that transformed Renard from a grassroots exploration project in remote Quebec into the province’s first diamond mine — a feat that earned him our “Mining Person of the Year” award for 2016 (T.N.M., March 6–19/17).

The Northern Miner: Going back to the beginning, when you worked for Aber Diamond, how much of an influence was it on what you did later with Stornoway?

Matt Manson: I was working with Aber from 1997 as a consultant and then from 1999 as an employee, through into late 2004.

Tinka surges on zinc discovery PERU

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

xplorer Tinka Resources (TSX V: TK) has made a high-grade discovery at its Ayawilca zinc-silver property, 300 km east of Lima, Peru, in what it calls the “best adjacent mineralized holes ever drilled” at the project.

Tinka has been work ing on Ayawilca since 2004 mainly for its silver prospectivity. The company spent much of 2016 awaiting threeyear drill permits after having expanded the project boundaries.

Ayawilca appears to have been worth the wait. On April 4, Tinka reported that hole 17-56 cut 52 metres grading 10.1% zinc, 62 grams silver per tonne and 233 grams indium per tonne from 242 metres deep. The intercept features a higher-grade section running 20.6% zinc, 152 grams silver and 441 grams indium over 14.9 metres.

“We added to our property package last year after the geophysics because we saw the opportunity to expand our targets based on magnetics,” Tinka Resources president and CEO Graham Carman says by phone from Toronto. “Much

of last year was a question of engaging in the regulatory process for this drill program, since we’re looking at areas we hadn’t touched previously.”

“We stepped out from our existing resource into a brand-new area. The targeting was based on geophysics we completed last year, and we’ve intersected thick, highgrade zones of zinc,” Carman says.

“It’s early days, but we believe this discovery has serious potential.

You simply don’t see these types of grade at that thickness on earlierstage projects. And the geophysics we’ve put together indicate promising size potential,” he says.

Tinka completed a maiden resource at Ayawilca in mid-2016 of 18.8 million tonnes of 5.9% zinc, 0.2% lead, 15 grams silver and 74 grams indium. The contained metal totals 2.4 million lb. zinc, 82 millions lb. lead, 3 million lb. indium and 9 million oz. silver.

The resource data incorporates 74 drill holes over 27,000 metres.

Ayawilca is modelled as carbonate-hosted replacement deposit with zinc sulphide (sphalerite) occurring in multiple generations as semi-massive sulphide replacements of limestone together with

other — mostly iron — sulphides.

The deposit is made up of multiple, gently dipping sulphide lenses, or “mantos,” generally with vertical thicknesses of between 10 metres and 30 metres within three areas named West, Central and East.

West Ayawilca is suspected to have formed a vertical “chimney” up to 200 metres thick, comprised of several thick mantos.

The company generated its targets based on results from a helicopter magnetic survey covering 150 sq. km of mineral claims. Tinka’s coincident soil and geophysical samples reportedly identify a prospective 5 km magnetic trend.

“The objective right now is to increase the grade at the project,

ket, and it’s great to see results like this generating a positive response. I don’t know if we’d have caught this type of attention even six months ago,” Carman says.

He adds that the fundamentals for zinc look good, due to supply declines as major mines shut down.

“There are very few zinc projects at this stage out there … we have one of the up-and-coming stories in the space.”

The company closed the final tranche of an $11-million private placement in November, when it issued 55 million shares at 20¢ each.

Over the past few years, Tinka has significant institutional shareholders. Australian private-equity firm The Sentient Group holds a 20% position, JP Morgan has a 7.3% equity stake and the World Bank’s International Finance Corp. holds a 14% position. TNM

but also look at target opportunities that might allow us to double the size of the resource,” Carman says.

“We’ve already got two drill rigs turning and a third rig on the way.

There’s a lot of work left to be done, but we hope this discovery could be a game changer. It’s an encouraging start, but the key is to define the scale here, and see if we can merge the discovery with existing resources. I expect we’ll have a fourth drill rig on the property shortly to follow-up on some of the other targets we’ve generated.”

Tinka surged 34%, or 19¢, to a 52-week high of 75¢ per share at press time.

The company has 206 million shares outstanding for a $150-million market capitalization, and reported $11 million in cash at press time.

“It had been that real tough mar-

and Barrick’s Alturas gold exploration project.

“Shandong is an ideal partner to help us unlock the untapped mineral wealth of the El Indio belt over the long-term, while working with us to generate more value from the Veladero mine,” Barrick’s executive chairman John Thornton said in a release.

Barrick and Shandong began talks in April 2016.

“While we are giving up 50% of the cash f lows from Veladero in the short-term, we are receiving US$960 million in cash and gaining a partner with the potential to join us in future developments in the region, sharing capital and expertise,” Barrick spokesperson Andy Lloyd said in an email.

Haywood Securities analyst Kerry Smith says Barrick is getting a “premium price” for the Veladero mine in San Juan province. He values the company’s 100% interest in the oxide heap-leach mine at US$1.6 billion (using a US$1,250 per oz. gold price). Based on this valuation, Barrick is getting a 24% premium.

The deal, Smith notes, would likely have Barrick lose 7% of its consolidated 2017 production and resultant cash flow, which he argues is a “modest price to pay for the opportunity to find a way to develop Pascua-Lama and Alturas in a cost-effective way.”

BMO analyst Andrew Kaip agrees that at first glance the transaction offers “attractive deal metrics for Veladero on a stand-alone basis,” and that the potential of codevelop-

However, he cautions that “giving up an interest in future opportunities in the El Indio belt is potentially one step too far, and lowers exposure to long-term future optionality for shareholders.”

In response, Lloyd says that “any decision to jointly develop PascuaLama or other projects would be subject to future agreement and investment … we’re not giving anything up, we are crystallizing value from Veladero while gaining a partner for future developments in the region, and that has significant value for our owners, as we seek to grow our free cash flow per share over the long-term. We would argue this actually increases the long-term optionality of our portfolio, because we can do more with a partner in this region than we could ever do on our own.”

Earlier this year, Barrick began a prefeasibility study for a 15,000-tonne-per-day underground operation on the Argentine side of

the stalled Pascua-Lama project.

“Shandong will now embed a team of specialists in the process. Only when this is complete can we talk about what a future development might look like,” Lloyd notes.

Smith adds that the “ bigger prize here is potentially bringing Shandong Gold in as a partner to develop and share the financial and execution risk of building out Pascua-Lama.”

The strategic cooperation agreement should close at the end of June, after which Barrick and Shandong will create a joint-venture board, consisting of three members from each company to overlook the Veladero mine. The mine’s current management team will remain in place.

On March 30, the San Juan government temporarily restricted using cyanide at the mine’s heapleach facility until Barrick finishes remedial work, after a recent leak in a pipe carrying gold-bearing solution on the leach pad. Barrick says all the solution was contained within the site and that it is completing the remediation, adding that this should not affect its 2017 gold guidance. The mine should produce 770,000 to 830,000 oz. gold this year at all-in sustaining costs of US$840 to US$940 per ounce.

Barrick will use most of the proceeds from the transaction to pay down debt. The miner ended 2016 with US$7.8 billion in debt.

It intends to lower this by US$2.8 billion at the end of 2018, with US$1.5 billion of the reduction planned for this year.

Barrick closed April 6 relatively flat at $25.87 per share. TNM

Debt-heavy Codelco forecasts muted growth COPPER

| Peru becomes world’s second-largest copper producer, surpassing China

T

wo highlights of the copper calendar — Cesco Week and CRU’s World Copper Conference, both held in Santiago, Chile in early April — have come to a close, with attendees reporting a sense of cautious optimism among the world’s top copper producers and refiners, as supply growth

BY JOHN CUMMING starts to level off and copper prices modestly jcumming@northernminer.com rebound.

Santiago-based Cesco (from Centro de Estudios del Cobre y la Minería, or Centre for Copper and Mining Studies) was founded in 1984 as a private, non-profit organization, and describes itself as “independent and plural … promoting social legitimacy and confidence in Chile’s mining industry as a development engine,” and seeks to monitor and provide “information and quality analysis in novel formats.” Each year the organization puts on Cesco Week, including the Cesco Dinner, as well as the similar Asia Copper Week in Shanghai.

While much talk in the copper community over the first quarter focused on short-term supply disruptions at the world’s three largest copper mines — Escondida in Chile, Grasberg in Indonesia and Cerro Verde in Peru — the presentations in Santiago tackled some of the industry’s longer-term problems, including lower head grades, deepening mines with harder rock, water shortages and sociopolitical challenges.

Chilean state-owned Codelco — the world’s largest copper producer, headquartered in the world’s largest copper-producing nation — best exemplifies the industry’s current spirit of planning for growth while recognizing financial and technical constraints. (Codelco has unique challenges as a state-owned enterprise, though, including the sticky fact that 10% of its sales must go to the Chilean military — a law that has held it back from operating in regional rival Peru where its privatesector competitors have been so active.)

Like its private competitors, Codelco has sharply lowered mining costs in recent years but has avoided major strikes like those seen recently at Escondida and Cerro Verde, and negotiated more than a dozen labour deals with Codelco workers in the past year.

Codelco is still on track to achieve its goal of US$2 billion in cost savings by 2020, and has seen cash costs fall 8–9% annually for the last three years. The copper mining giant wants to start the next decade in the lowest quartile for costs amongst global copper miners — a feat that would be in defiance of the common argument that governmentowned companies can never be cost-conscious.

The possibility of more strikes at Chile’s copper mines still looms large, however, with more than 15 contracts up for negotiation this year, including at Codelco.

Codelco is also intent on repairing a balance sheet that deteriorated over the five years of the global commodities downturn that reached its nadir just over a year ago, when copper traded at a low of US$4,300 per tonne (US$1.95 per pound).

Codelco’s debt is US$15 billion, and it has stated it would like to keep this number at US$14 billion in the coming years, even as it invests heavily to maintain and expand its roster of mines in Chile.

In figures released at the CRU conference, between 2016 and 2025, there are 37 copper projects due to be developed in Chile at a cost of US$49 billion. While only eight of these are Codelco projects, they account for US$21.6 billion over this period, or 44% of the total.

If Codelco wants to keep its debt below current levels, Scotiabank analysts point out that it’s not clear how the company will finance the planned investments, which is another indicator for future constrained mine supply and is bullish for copper prices.

Countering this trend in Chile is Peru, whose Energy and Mines Minister Gonzalo Tamayo told the CRU conference that the country expects to boost its copper output 32% to 3.1 million tonnes by 2021.

Peru surpassed China as the world’s second-largest copper producer in 2016, thanks to rising output from MMG Ltd.’s Las Bambas mine and an expansion at Freeport-McMoRan’s Cerro Verde mine. TNM

World copper mine production soars 5% in 2016: ICSG FACTS ‘N’ FIGURES

| Refined copper output up 2.5% globally

The following is an edited summary by the International Copper Study Group (ICSG) of world copper supply and demand data for 2016. The full report is available in the ICSG’s March 2017 Copper Bulletin, for sale at www.icsg.org.

I

n 2016, world mine production is estimated to have increased 5%, or 1 million tonnes, with concentrate production increasing 7% and solvent extractionelectrowinning (SX-EW) declining 2%.

This 5% increase owed to a 38% (650,000 tonnes copper) rise in Peruvian concentrate output that benefitted from new and expanded capacity brought onstream in the last two years; a recovery in production levels in Canada, Indonesia and the U.S., and expanded capacity in Mexico; and low frequency of supply disruptions due to strikes, accidents or adverse weather conditions.

Howe ver, over a l l g row t h was pa r t ly of fset by a 3.8% (220,000-tonne) decline in production in Chile, the world’s biggest copper mine producer, and a 4.5% decline in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where output is being constrained by temporary production cuts.

On a regional basis, production rose 6% in the Americas and 11.5% in Asia, but declined 3.5% in Africa, while staying the same in Europe and Oceania.

Refined copper World refined production is estimated to have increased 2.5% (530,000 tonnes) in 2016, with primary production (electrolytic and electrowinning) increasing

ON A REGIONAL BASIS, PRODUCTION ROSE 6% IN THE AMERICAS AND 11.5% IN ASIA, BUT DECLINED 3.5% IN AFRICA, WHILE STAYING THE SAME IN EUROPE AND OCEANIA. 3% and secondary production (from scrap) declining 2%.

Increased availability of concentrates allowed world primary electrolytic refined production to increase 4.5%.

The main contributor to growth in world refined production was China (a 6% increase, or 470,000 tonnes), followed by the U.S. and Japan — where production increased 7% and 5% — and by Mexico (16%), where expanded SX-EW capacity contributed to refined production growth.

However, overall growth was partly offset by a 3% decline in Chile, the world’s second-largest refined copper producer.

Although primary electrolytic refined production increased 4.5%, electrowinning production declined 6.5%, owing to definitive or temporary closures of SX-EW mines.

Production in the DRC and Zambia also declined an aggreSee ICSG / 5

gate 11%, due to temporary production cuts.

On a regional basis, refined output is estimated to have increased in the Americas (1%) and Asia (6%), while declining in Africa (10%) and Europe and Russia (2%), and remaining essentially unchanged in Oceania.

World apparent refined usage increased 2% (430,000 tonnes) in 2016.

Growth mainly owed to an increase in Chinese apparent demand, as world usage, excluding China, is estimated to have increased only 0.9%.

Chinese apparent demand (excluding changes in unreported stocks) increased 2.5%, based on 6% growth in refined production, as net imports of refined copper declined 7.5%.

Usage in the U.S. and Japan, the second and third refined copper-using countries, is down 2% and 2.5%.

On a regional basis, usage increased an estimated 3% in Asia (when excluding China, Asia usage increased 3%) and 2% in Europe (1.5% in the European Union), while declining 3% in the Americas.

World refined copper balance for 2016 indicates a 50,000-tonne deficit, mainly because of a 2.5% increase in Chinese apparent demand.

The refined copper market balance for December 2016 showed a small 20,000-tonne surplus.

Based on the average of stock estimates provided by independent consultants, China’s bonded stocks increased 15,000 tonnes in 2016 from the year-end 2015 level. (They had decreased 100,000 tonnes in 2015.)

The average London Metal Exchange (LME) cash price for copper for February 2017 was US$5,941.55 per tonne, up from the January average of US$5,737.43 per tonne.

The 2017 high and low copper prices through February were US$6,145 (on Feb. 14) and US$5,500.50 per tonne (on Jan. 4), and the year average was US$5,837 per tonne (20% above 2016 annual average).

As of the end of February, copper stocks held at the major metal exchanges (LME, Comex, Shanghai Futures Exchange [SHFE]) totalled 605,146 tonnes — an increase of 66,073 tonnes (12%) from stocks held at the end of December 2016.

Compared with the December 2016 levels, stocks were down at the LME (-36%) and up at SHFE (98%) and Comex (42%).

anada’s geological heritage goes back over 4 billion years to when the earth was a young, hot planet covered by ocean.

During this time, intense volcanism formed the earth’s crust, giving way to a barren and lifeless landscape blasted by radiation from the sun.

About 3 billion years ago, in the Archean eon, the emergence of plate tectonics moved thin and small rafts of rocks at a rate much faster than they do today. Over time, the volcanic islands butted together into large blocks of continental crust, with most of the action in what is today’s Canada starting around the Red Lake area, a prolific gold-mining camp in northwest Ontario.

As these volcanic terranes collided, balls of magma were injected into the volcanic pile, which cooled into enormous granitic batholiths.

Meanwhile, at the major spreading centres and back-arc rift zones, metal-rich fluids were exhaled from black smokers, peppering the seaf loor with volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits.

THE OROGENIC GOLD DEPOSITS CLUSTERED WITHIN SEGMENTS OF VOLCANIC TERRANE THAT SAW LOW-GRADE GREENSCHIST METAMORPHISM, OR WHAT GEOLOGISTS CALL “GREENSTONE BELTS.” were also prolific during the Archean, as temperatures on earth were still hot enough to drive deep-seated, high-magnesium ultramafic melts — otherwise known as “komatiites” — into higher levels of the crust without cooling rapidly, as they might today.

As the accreted landmass towered to new heights, intense pressures and temperatures partly melted deepburied crust, releasing gold-rich fluids. The fluids travelled upwards along terrane-bounding structures

in two major pulses, one at 2.9 billion years ago and the other 2.7 billion years ago, giving way to a variety of orogenic-style gold deposits.

The orogenic gold deposits clustered within segments of volcanic terrane that saw low-grade greenschist metamorphism, or what ge-

ologists call “greenstone belts.”

At the start of the Proterozoic eon, 2.5 billion years ago, the continents had nucleated into four cratons in Canada: the Superior, Slave, Rae and Hearne. Over time, their crustal peaks got flattened by erosion, and a number of world-class ore districts

were exposed.

The most prolific districts seen today consist of the 150 million oz. gold Abitibi greenstone belt that spans the Quebec and Ontario border, the VMS-rich Flin Flon belt across Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and northern Ontario’s Ring of Fire district that hosts a number of magmatic nickel-copper and chromium deposits.

Sediments eroded off the cratons were swept into surrounding deep-ocean basins and along vast seaways. Here, metal-rich brines would circulate within the sediments for millions of years, occasionally spewing out onto the seafloor as sedimentary exhalative zinc-lead (sedex) lead-zinc deposits.

Around 2.3 billion years ago, the oceans began to teem with oxygenproducing bacteria, and the iron-rich sediments deposited on the seafloor mixed with oxygenated waters to create vast iron deposits.

These banded-iron formations (BIF) are prolific across the Labrador Trough, a world-class iron mining camp in Quebec and Labrador. However, remnants of much older BIF deposits also occur within Canada’s greenstone belts, with the Mary River iron mine on northern Baffin Island a prime example. The

deposit formed in oxygen-deficient, or “anoxic” conditions, having precipitated out from hydrothermal vents within volcanic centres.

Two billion years ago, the four cratons were stitched together along vast mountain ranges to form the core of ancestral North America.

The deformation lasted for millions of years and was so intense that it either obliterated pre-existing deposits entrained within the rocks, or thrusted them closer to surface.

As a result of this event, metalrich fluids from deep-seated metamorphism were injected into major deformation zones, such as the 2,800 km long Snowbird Tectonic zone dividing the Rae and Hearne cratons.

Archean-age BIF acted as a sponge to the gold-rich fluids, leading to the formation of the 3.4 million oz. gold Meliadine and the 3.5 million oz. gold Meadowbank deposits in Nunavut’s portion of the Rae craton.

Meanwhile, deformation along the northwestern perimeter of the Superior craton gave way to the nickel-copper rich dikes and sills that define the world-class Thompson nickel belt in Manitoba. The rock belt extends northeast to the Ungava Trough (formerly the Cape Smith belt) in northernmost Quebec, which hosts the Raglan nickelcopper camp.

Around the same time, a 10 km wide meteorite smashed into the Superior’s eastern margin, shattering and melting the rocks beneath.

The impact injected prolific nickelcopper-PGM-rich dikes and sills into a cone-shaped bowl now called the “Sudbury Igneous Complex” in Ontario.

During a lull in deformation, 1.5 billion years ago, the Snowbird once again became a passageway for fluids, but this time they were uranium rich. The structures, and where they pierce overlying basins of sediments, served as favourable traps for basement- and unconformityhosted uranium deposits, such as those seen within Saskatchewan’s Athabasca basin, and Nunavut and Northwest Territories’ Thelon basin.

Deformation was reignited 1.1 billion years ago — triggered by the assembly of a supercontinent called Rodinia — and the eastern side of ancestral North America began to transform.

This deformation produced a Himalayan-scale mountain range — called the Grenville orogeny — that extends across a significant portion of the North American continent, from Labrador to Mexico, as well as to Scotland.

But just before the start of the orogen, 1.3 billion years ago, the

world-class Voisey’s Bay magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt deposit in Labrador began to take prominence, as deep-seated magma squeezed its way through a suture zone between the Rae craton and an Archeanage geological province called the Nain. The melts, which contained a high amount of dissolved metals, devoured sulphur-rich country rocks during its ascent and pooled in quiescent magma chambers, allowing time for the sulphur to scavenge the metals. The melt eventually cooled, precipitating layers of massive sulphides.

Over time, the Grenville range eroded down to its metamorphosed core, and was partly covered with sandstones and limestones by encroaching seas. Rodinia was eventually disassembled, only to reassemble again, 350 million years ago, to form the supercontinent Pangaea.

At this time, the African continent collided with the eastern coast of ancestral North America and thrusted up a belt of rocks — rich with pre-existing VMS deposits — known as the Appalachians.

World-class copper-lead-zinc deposits that were exposed by this tectonic event are clustered in the Bathurst camp in New Brunswick

and the Buchans camp in Newfoundland.

As the Appalachian orogen ensued, gold-rich f luids funnelled into the many structural corridors across the eastern provinces, while lower-temperature fluids laden with lead-zinc were squeezed out of shales and into brecciated carbonate rocks to form Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) lead-zinc deposits.

MVT deposits from this deformation event can be seen within the Gays River district in Nova Scotia, whereas a similar event much farther north, called the Innuitian orogen, drove fluids into the Polaris and Pine Point deposits of Nunavut and Northwest Territories.

When the North Atlantic Ocean rifted open 180 million years ago, the African continent broke away — albeit leaving behind continental fragments on the east coast of Newfoundland — and North America was pushed westwards. The shift in movement ignited subduction beneath the western margin of the continent, and a number of offshore volcanic island chains and sedimentary rocks in the west were docked and thrusted onto the edge of the landmass.

The first volcanic terranes that

arrived, 150 million years ago, were teeming with porphyry coppergold and epithermal gold deposits, such as those seen today within the Valley of the Kings and Red Chris deposits in northwest B.C., and the Highland Valley Copper deposit in southcentral British Columbia.

These deposits formed between 220 and 175 million years ago in a setting similar to the present-day Philippine and Indonesian island arcs.

As the metal-rich island chain pushed into the continent, basins of intervening sediments — up to 1.6 billion years old — were thrusted onto the landmass. The event exhumed a number of world-class sedex deposits that had formed along the edges of the ancient cratons, with examples including the Howard’s Pass and Sullivan lead-zinc deposits, located in the Yukon and southern British Columbia.

This tectonic event also sliced up the crust and injected it with gold, most notably at the 20 million oz.

Klondike placer goldfields, and central B.C.’s Barkerville camp, which saw 3.1 million oz. historical placer gold production. It has 4.8 million oz. gold in resources from nearby bedrock sources.

rived on Canada’s western margin, at 100 million years ago, created a massive wave of deformation that drove gold-rich fluids into parts of the Yukon, most notably at the 4.9 million oz. gold Coffee deposit.

Subduction beneath the towering landmass eventually picked up speed, and the accreted margin of Western Canada was injected with enormous volumes of granitic magma for 50 million years, generating a number of porphyry copper-gold deposits, such as Casino in the Yukon and Huckleberry in British Columbia.

Around 55 million years ago, diamond-bearing magmas punched up rapidly through the Archean-age crust in the Northwest Territories’ Lac de Gras region. Geologists believe that Archean crust favours diamonds because the cratons have bulged to enormous depths over its geological history, which provided high enough pressure and temperature to compress carbon into a precious stone.

An older diamond-bearing kimberlite event occurred between 180 and 155 million years ago, as recorded in northern Ontario’s Victor diamond mine, whereas less commercially significant kimberlites up to 1.1 billion years in age have also been uncovered in other parts of Canada.

Over time, the seas that once covered much of Western Canada began to evaporate, having been cut off from the ocean by the Canadian Cordillera. The sediments eroded off the leeward side of the mountains were buried up to 5 km deep, and any carbon matter was in time converted into oil by the elevated pressures and temperatures. Even to this day, oil is being generated at the toe of the mountains — across much of Alberta and the Northwest Territories — and migrates for hundreds of kilometres until caught by impermeable traps or quartz-rich sands.

In the last 50 million years, the structural regime off the western coast of modern-day B.C. and the Yukon has transitioned more towards sideway faults than subduction, with tremors and earthquakes taking precedent over volcanism and mountain building. On the East Coast, the Atlantic Ocean continues to rift open, pushing the North American continent westwards.

Geologists predict that in the next 250 million years, plate tectonics will likely drive the continents on earth together once again, into a supercontinent called Pangaea Ultima. TNM

fter a year of attracting new shareholders and funds, NuLegacy Gold (TSXV: NUG; US-OTC: NULGF) is set to start its 2017 exploration program at the Red Hill gold project in Nevada’s prolific Cortez gold trend.

NuLegacy’s CEO James Anderson, who describes 2016 as a “transformational year” for the company, says that this year he looks forward to “exploration and drilling success.”

Last March, NuLegacy consolidated its interest in Red Hill, after Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) converted its 30% minority interest in the project into 32 million NuLegacy shares.

placement. In return, it became the junior’s largest shareholder at 19.9%.

Tocqueville first acquired 19.5 million NuLegacy shares at 20¢ apiece in an open market transaction. It later bought another 9.2 million shares as part of a $4.5-million financing in October, bringing its total interest in NuLegacy to 9.9%.

NuLegacy kicked off a 10,000-metre program last May to drill the Iceberg deposit and test other Carlintype gold systems on the property, including the Avocado, VIO and Jasperoid basin gold anomalies. In September, it confirmed Avocado as its second Carlin-type gold deposit, after the Iceberg discovery in 2012. The discovery hole returned 200 metres of 0.26 gram gold per tonne, including 10- and 13-metre intervals of better than 1-gram material. (NuLegacy drilled four holes at Avocado, where three hit mineralization.)

“We are quite proud of the fact that we got a lot of things accomplished last year. Financially, we are in a much better position than the company has ever been in,” Anderson says.

Nu L e gac y, w h ich c los e d a $6.1-million financing last July, ended 2016 with $16 million (US$12 million). It plans to start a 40-hole, 10,500-metre exploration program in April 2017.

Half of the 40 holes will go towards deeper drilling at the Avocado deposit and the Deep Iceberg, VIO and Jasperoid basin anomalies, while the rest will extend the near-surface gold mineralization at Iceberg, Anderson says. Iceberg has a conceptual 90- to 110-milliontonne exploration target grading 0.9 to 1.1 grams gold per tonne.

NuLegacy has budgeted US$3.2 million for the 2017 program, where 65% of the budget will go towards deeper drilling at Avocado and the anomalies, and 35% for shallow drilling in and around Iceberg.

The goals of the program include expanding the Iceberg and Avocado deposits, and confirming opportunities. Anderson notes the company’s board has already approved another US$500,000 for drilling if NuLegacy makes a discovery.

NuLegacy plans to drill three 500-metre holes at Avocado, followed by two holes in Iceberg and two at Avocado.

Asked if the company intends to calculate a resource estimate at Iceberg, Anderson replies that NuLegacy will add ounces, but that the company’s major shareholders, “the folks who have given us the money — they want us to find one of these giants,” he says, referring to Barrick’s large deposits in the trend.

“Elephant-sized deposits [are] the goal. That is why we have been given the mandate and the geological brain trust to step out and drill some of these high-impact targets.

It’s the home run that people are looking for.”

GLOBAL COPPER Serengeti sees potential underground at Kwanika BC

| Serengeti expects PEA will entice partner Daewoo to earn another 30%

U

nderground and open-pit mining at Serengeti Resources’ (TSXV: SIR) Kwanika copper-gold property, 250 km east of Smithers, B.C., could boost the project’s economics, according to the company’s new preliminary economic assessment (PEA).

The study envisages a 15,000-tonneper-day operation over a 15-year mine life, with the first nine years focused on block-cave mining the project’s high-grade, copper-gold Central zone porphyry deposit, before switching to open-pit mining at the lower-grade South zone, 2 km south.

The mining scenario delivers a $324.4-million pre-tax net present value (NPV) at a 7% discount rate, and a 21.1% pre-tax internal rate of return (IRR), and would give a 3.7-year payback on $476 million in capital costs.

The results are better than the company’s 2013 PEA, which calculated a pre-tax NPV of $143.3 million at an 8% discount rate, a 13.4% pre-tax IRR and a 7.3-year payback from a 13.5-year open-pit operation.

David Moore, president and CEO of Serengeti, tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview that the economics incorporate an updated, geologically constrained resource model — published by SRK Consulting in November last year — that increased precious metal grades by 20%.

“We’ll start with an open-pit on part of the Central and go as quickly as we can underground, so we can access the higher grades,” he says. “It’s a gold-rich system. So what we’ve done is come up with a much better production schedule, and that has made a big difference on the project’s economics.”

He adds that over 64% of the revenue in the project’s first eight years is due to gold and silver credits.

Pit-constrained resources for the Central zone stand at 101.5 million indicated tonnes of 0.31% copper, 0.32 gram gold per tonne and 0.96 gram silver per tonne and 31.9 million inferred tonnes of 0.17% copper, 0.14 gram gold and 0.59 gram silver.

Underground resources add 29.7 million indicated tonnes of 0.34% copper, 0.36 gram gold and 1.05 grams silver, and 7.9 million inferred tonnes of 0.23% copper, 0.17 gram gold and 0.68 gram silver.

Open-pit resources from the South zone are 33.3 million inferred tonnes of 0.26% copper, 0.08 gram gold, 1.64 grams silver and 0.01% molybdenum.

companies Posco Daewoo — as part of a deal signed in April last year.

Daewoo earned its current interest by paying Serengeti $400,000 in cash and spending $800,000 in exploration on the project last year.

Moore says that within 90 days of filing the PEA report on Sedar, Daewoo is required to decide whether or not the company will pay Serengeti $7 million over the next two years to earn another 30% interest in the project.

“The economics are in the sweet spot of what Daewoo would be interested in,” he says. “Their $7-million investment could give them $55-million worth of value in the project, so we’re pretty confident they’ll move forward.”

A $7-million capital injection could facilitate a “significant” drill program by September, Moore says.

The program would convert inferred resources to indicated, increase the gold grade at the Central zone and push the boundaries on the resource limits.

“Gold grades have great implica-

tions on our economics, so if we can drill more holes and continue that trend, we can add a lot of value to the project quickly,” he says.

As reported in “Upside ‘very much alive’ at Kwanika in BC” (T.N.M., Sept. 28/16), a part of Serengeti’s drill program last year aimed for a deeply buried induced polarization chargeability anomaly. The anomaly suggested that mineralization at the Central zone could extend up to 1 km north below prior drilling, giving Kwanika more room to grow.

The hole hit 245 metres of 0.1% copper and 0.11 gram gold before it was crosscut with a fault and a post-mineral intrusive. Moore says that the hole skirted over the strongest part of the anomaly, and drill programs would follow up.

llianceBernstein, a global investment management firm with an independent sell-side research arm, is calling for greater investment in copper to build enough capacity to meet demand.

“At a conservative estimate, the world’s mining community needs to approve the investment of 1 million tonnes per annum of new copper capacity each and every year, and, so far, this has proven impossible,” Paul Gait, a London-based analyst from Bernstein’s European metals and mining division, warned in a recent research note.

“In part, this is because of the capital intensity and lead times that are required to create the economies of scale to profitably exploit either low-grade copper, or copper that is situated at extreme depth,” he noted, describing the red metal as “the scarcest and most important industrial commodity.”

He added that “it is fair to say that the continued flow of copper is a global strategic imperative, and even more so if we are ever going to meet the demands of the green energy revolution.”

This year, supply disruptions at three of the world’s largest copper mines — BHP Billiton’s (NYSE: BHP; LON: BLT) majority-owned Escondida mine in Chile, and Freeport-McMoRan’s (NYSE: FCX) Grasberg mine in Indonesia and Cerro Verde mine in Peru — have helped “support prices at 20% above the 2016 average,” according to BMO Capital Markets, which forecasts that “2017 is on track to deliver the largest disruption to initial production estimates since 2008.”

At Escondida, a 44-day strike ended in March without a new labour contract, while Freeport halted production at its Grasberg mine in See COPPER / 10

Copper needs more investment, analyst says COPPER From 9

February after the country banned concentrate exports, and employees at its Cerro Verde mine held an 18day strike the same month.

BMO estimates that the strike at Escondida, the largest copper mine in the world, which it estimates is responsible for 5% of global mine supply, “will have cost the market nearly 200,000 tonnes of production, including additional losses, as the mine could take two weeks to resume normal operations.” Given that the strike “ended without a new labour contract negotiated [a legal provision allowed the workers to return to work for 18 months under their old contract, with a new agreement targeted for that time], another disruption in 2018 remains a possibility.”

Disruptions at the Grasberg and Cerro Verde mines, meanwhile, which BMO says are the world’s second- and third-largest copper mines — representing 4% and 3% of global supply — have “further tightened supply.” The bank esti-

mates that “contract disputes with the government and strikes” at Grasberg and Cerro Verde have taken between 80,000 and 90,000 tonnes copper out of the market so far this year.

“Since 2004, we estimate that strikes reduced annual mine supply by an average 115,000 tonnes per annum, with 2009 the highest year at 309,000 tonnes, and 2017 already at an estimated 203,000 tonnes,” BMO reported. Grouping in Grasberg rises to 290,000 tonnes.

“With Grasberg seeming unlikely to be resolved in the near-term, however, and additional strikes possible globally, 2017 is on track to exceed 2016’s disruption by nearly 500,000 tonnes, and to be the highest since 2008.”

The bank has raised its copper price forecasts accordingly. This year it expects copper to average US$2.64 per lb. — up 8% from its previous estimate of US$2.45 per pound. Next year BMO forecasts copper will average US$2.70 per lb., and should climb to US$2.85 per lb. in 2019, and US$3.05 per lb. in 2020.

Paul Benjamin, research director for global copper markets at Wood Mackenzie, has raised his copper price forecast for 2017.

“The impact of recent stoppages at the industry’s two largest mine producers pushed three-month prices above the US$6,000-pertonne level several times through first-quarter 2017, and with copper trading somewhat higher than expected, we have raised our annual average forecast to US$5,685 per tonne, or US$2.58 per pound.”

Beyond 2020, “as liquid stocks are eroded sharply lower,” Benjamin expects “a sizeable reaction in prices,” with the metal spiking at

US$8,598 per tonne — or US$3.90 per lb. in constant 2017 dollars — by 2023.

“We remain conf ident t hat our long-term incentive price of US$7,275 per tonne (US$3.30 per lb.) in constant 2017 dollars will be sufficient to bring on adequate mine output, keep market equilibrium and retain a reasonable market balance over the next decade.”

BMO’s top picks among copper producers are Antofagasta (LON: ANTO; US-OTC: ANFGY) and First Quantum Minerals (TSX: FM; LON: FQM).

It also likes Atalaya Mining (TSX: AYM; LON: ATYM) “for its free cash flow generation potential,” and Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN; US-OTC: IVPAF) “for exposure to the growth of the Kakula-Kamoa discovery.”

Antofagasta, BMO says, “offers the best exposure to higher copper prices,” and trades at a 6.4 times 2017 enterprise value/earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). “Although not a leveraged or near-term growth name, we see potential for the company to continue to reduce unit costs, further improving its position.”

First Quantum, meanwhile, “offers some of the best exposure to higher copper prices and increasing cash flow — a result of its growing copper production profile in Zambia and in Panama,” BMO says. First Quantum “has hedged away most of its exposure to copper prices for 2017, but remains largely exposed to prices in 2018 and beyond ... we anticipate tightness in the market to move the price of the metal higher.”

Atalaya Mining’s Proyecto Riotinto open-pit copper mine in the Andalucia region of Spain reached

nameplate capacity of 9.5 million tonnes per year in January 2017, and BMO expects “a near-term rerating of trading multiples, as the operation begins to deliver free cash flow for the company.

“As a higher-cost operation,” BMO notes, “it has amongst the highest leverage to the copper price and trades on an attractive estimated 2017 enterprise value/ EBITDA multiple of 2.3 times.”

Formerly known as EMED Mining, Atalaya put the past-producing mine and mill back into production in February 2016. The deposit, 65 km northwest of Seville, has ore reserves of 153 million tonnes containing 680,000 tonnes copper.

BMO also likes Ivanhoe’s Kakula-Kamoa project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has a resource and PEA due soon.

In March, Ivanhoe announced that a step-out drill hole had doubled the strike length of the

copper-rich mineralized system at Kakula, extending to 10.1 km from an initial 5.5 km in January.

The shallow deposit is open for expansion.

In a research note after the drill hole assay was announced, Bernstein’s Gait described the KakulaKamoa discovery as “the world’s most important development project, in what we believe is the world’s most important commodity.”

He added that “at a time when significant lack of investment in the copper industry is manifesting itself, and with the major mining houses rapidly running low on growth options but accumulating cash, we see Ivanhoe Mines as a compelling investment both strategically and for the underlying quality of the potential producing operation.”

Bernstein initiated coverage of Ivanhoe in October 2015, and Gait repeated the firm’s description of Kakula-Kamoa in his March 21 research note to clients: “It is the largest copper discovery on the African continent, and the world’s largest high-grade copper deposit, largest undeveloped copper deposit, lowest capital intensity major copper development project and fifth-largest copper deposit.” TNM

Filo Mining advances Filo del Sol copper-gold project CHILE-ARGENTINA

| Deposit’s top 250 metres are oxidized, potentially lowering mining costs

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

F

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

i lo Mining (TSX V: FIL) was spun out of Lukas Lundin’s NGEx Resources (TSX: NGQ; US-OTC: NGQRF) in mid2016 to highlight the Filo del Sol copper-gold property that straddles the Chile-Argentina border, 140 km southeast of the city of Copiapo, Chile. The Atacama region is renowned for large copper porphyry deposits, but Filo del Sol is a rarer near-term development opportunity due to its copper-gold mineralogy and heap-leach potential.

Filo del Sol’s inferred resources are 381 million tonnes of 0.39% copper, 0.33 gram gold and 12.2 grams silver. Contained metals total 3.3 billion lb. copper, 4 million oz. gold and 150 million oz. silver.

It’s the low-cost oxide upside, however, that could make it the Lundin Group’s next development project.

“Filo del Sol wasn’t getting recognized in terms of value because it was our third project, but we really, really liked it,” Filo Mining president and CEO Wojtek Wodzicki said during an interview.

The resource combines several mineralization styles owing to complex geological processes. These include high-grade leachable oxide and mixed copper mineralization; structurally controlled gold-silver mineralization; subhorizontal highgrade silver mineralization in mantos; and disseminated copper and gold-silver sulphide mineralization.

“Probably the biggest difference

compared to our other regional projects is that the top 250 metres of the deposit are oxidized. We did heap-leach test work on that oxide material that returned really good recoveries. This could lead to lower development costs and a more manageable project size than the Los Helados and Josemaria porphyry scenarios we are working on at NGEx,” Wodzicki says.

Filo has wrapped up a 9,000-metre drill program at the project

to boost confidence in the goldrich portions of the resource, and expand the Filo South zone. The company released its most recent results on April 10, which were highlighted by 112 metres grading 0.73 gram gold from 106 metres deep from infill hole 101, and 102 metres of 0.77% copper from 194 metres deep in hole 111 at Filo South.

Roughly 180 million tonnes of the resource includes oxide and transitional material that could be amendable to heap-leach processing, but the company hopes its recently drilled Filo South target might grow into a satellite deposit.

The results found a zone of “shallow oxide copper and gold mineralization,” 1 km south of resources at the Filo South zone.

Filo’s drilling extended the mineralization along strike and to depth, and started to define a northwest-trending zone of “nearsurface copper oxide mineralization,” with associated gold, which runs along strike for at least 300 metres.

“Filo has a more significant gold component to t he stor y.

We’ve been dealing with coppergold porphyry deposits, but this is more analogous to the Veladero or Pascua-Lama type deposits. So

there’s a big opportunity to have a gold-only resource in addition to copper,” vice-president of exploration Bob Carmichael says.

“We’re working on the infill drilling, but beyond that we’re looking to recategorize the way we’ve reported the mineral resources.

This is thinking more towards what you’d actually be mining, where we have the higher-grade gold zone, the copper-gold oxide zone and the silver zone.”

The company released results from bottle-roll tests at Filo del Sol in October that indicate preliminary recoveries of 95.1% for copper, 93.2% for gold and 92.7% for silver.

“We’ve had a great response from markets in terms of that precious metal component and the oxides,” Wodzicki adds.

“We felt like we could move quickly towards a PEA, but the property-wide exploration potential remains really good because the overall scale of the system is huge.

You’re looking at something that’s 7 km long by 2 km wide. There’s still a lot of altered rock out there that we haven’t had a chance to drill.”

The goal is to release an updated resource later this year, which could lead to beginning a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) by September. Filo closed a $20-mil-

lion private placement in November, when it sold 10 million shares priced at $2 each.

“One thing that’s definitely interesting is the mineralogy of the copper zone. A lot of it is copper sulphate, which is a pretty rare mineral that’s water soluble,” Wodzicki says.

“You could leach that copper with either really low amounts of sulphuric acid, or in some of the test work, it leaches in water. That’s unique, and you want to go after that because it leaches so well,” he says.

Filo is also looking at discovery opportunities across the wider property.

The Filo North prospect lies 1 to 2 km north of the deposit in an area thought to host a “potential feeder zone to Filo del Sol.” The Cerro Vicuna target is a conical hill that surface mapping indicates may be underlain by a silicified and stockwork porphyry intrusive.

The Vicuna Porphyry target has seen grab samples of up to 5 grams gold collected from surface.

Filo Mining shares have traded in a 52-week range of 64¢ to $3 per share, and closed at $1.86 at press time.

The company has 61.4 million shares outstanding for a $114.2-million market capitalization. TNM

Meanwhile, hole 17-7 intersected 110 metres of 1.27% copper (or 139.7 metres × % copper per tonne), plus 0.24 gold, including 57 metres of 1.9% copper and 0.37 gram gold.

The results are part of the first underground exploration at the Martel zone, where Imperial drilled 6,600 metres in 25 holes. Imperial expects to release assays from the remaining holes shortly.

sing the IntelligenceMine database of our sister company Infomine, The Northern Miner compiled five projects with the top copper intersections (grade multiplied by width) globally in March 2017, as reported publicly.

Xanadu Mines 1. Exploration firm Xanadu Mines (ASX: XAM) topped the list, returning exceptional results from its flagship Kharmagtai copper-gold project in Mongolia’s Omnogovi province, 420 km southeast of Ulaanbaatar.

Kharmagtai is within the South Gobi porphyry copper province, which is home to several porphyry deposits in the South Gobi region, including the large Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine (120 km south).

On March 29, Xanadu reported an update on the ongoing exploration at Kharmagtai, including multiple drill holes confirming the depth extension of the project’s Altan Tolgoi copper-gold deposit.

Diamond drill hole 394 returned 646 metres (from 18 metres) grading 0.51% copper (or 393 metres × % copper per tonne), plus 0.87 gram gold from 16 metres, including 64 metres at 1.06% copper and 3.15 grams gold. The 646-metre intercept, which is the best drilled to date at Kharmagtai, confirms mineralization extends from surface to almost 625 metres vertically.

Hole 394a hit 385 metres (from 351 metres) of 0.52% copper (or 200 metres × % copper per tonne), plus 0.6 gram gold.

“We are yet to define the extents of the Altan Tolgoi porphyry system, and further drilling is planned below the breccia zone-hosted chalcopyrite-gold mineralization to test whether a higher-grade bornite core is in the root of this large breccia system,” Andrew Stewart, the company’s chief executive, said in a release.

Reserves Committee-compliant resource of 1.5 billion lb. copper and 2.2 million oz. gold (203 million tonnes of 0.3% copper and 0.3 gram gold).

Finders Resources 2. Indonesia-focused miner Finders Resources came in second place. On March 6, Finders reported significant drill results from pre-development activities at the Lerokis deposit on its 73.5%-held Wetar copper project, which also contains the producing Kali Kuning deposit. The project is on the north coast of the remote island of Wetar in the Maluku Barat Daya province of eastern Indonesia.

Finders notes that high-grade copper intersections in geotechnical and metallurgical diamond drill holes indicate the potential to expand the existing resource in the southwest and northeast parts of Zone 5, and in the northwest of Zone 1S. The zones are part of the planned Lerokis mine development.

Metallurgical holes in Zone 1S returned 26.2 metres of 8.01% copper (or 210 metres × % copper per tonne), 1.35 grams gold, 73 grams silver, 2.6% zinc and 0.69% lead from 4 metres, and 34 metres at 5.28% copper (or 179.5 metres × % copper per tonne), 1.09 grams gold, 75 grams silver, 3.59% zinc and 0.84% lead from 10 metres.

Geotechnical hole 14 in Zone 5

cut 24 metres at 5.84% copper (or 140.2 metres × % copper per tonne), 0.48 gram gold, 25.3 grams silver, 0.39% zinc and 0.16% lead from 12 metres.

Finders expects to incorporate the results into the planned resource update after finishing the upcoming 2,900-metre, reverse-circulation drilling program. Lerokis is set to start producing in 2019.

Mariana Resources 3. Mariana Resources (TSX: MRY; LON: MARL) trailed in third, with encouraging results from its 30%held Hot Maden gold-copper project in northeastern Turkey’s Artvin province. Turkish partner Lidya holds the rest.

On March 23, Mariana published assays from 19 holes completed around the project’s Main zone and the Ridge area, which is the transitional zone between the Main zone and the New Southern deposit.

Highlights include hole 106 returning 116.5 metres grading 6.7 grams gold and 1.7% copper (or 198 metres × % copper per tonne) from 224.5 metres, including 16 metres of 35.7 grams gold and 2.9% copper. This infill hole “confirmed the continuity of high-grade goldcopper mineralization within the core of the Main zone resource,” Mariana says.

Hole 88, a step back to hole 75, hit

79 metres of 8.1 grams gold and 1.9% copper (or 116.2 metres × % copper per tonne) from 326 metres, which extended the downdip extension of the gold-copper mineralized zone.

Mariana says the gold-copper mineralization in the Main zone is “multistage, and ranges from early, massive sulphide-type mineralization to later tectonic brecciation, consisting of chalcopyritepyrite-bearing quartz stockworks and veining with distinctive red jasperoid.”

Mariana and Lidya have three rigs turning on Hot Maden, in advance of completing a prefeasibility study.

Imperial Metals 4. Vancouver-based Imperial Metals (TSX: III) took fourth place, after announcing underground drill results at the Mount Polley coppergold open-pit mine in south-central British Columbia, 56 km northeast of Williams Lake.

After markets closed on Feb. 28, Imperial reported the results from the first nine underground holes completed at Mount Polley’s Martel and Green zones beneath the Wight pit, 400 metres east of the recently mined Boundary zone.

Hole 16-6 returned 147.5 metres of 1.03% copper (or 152 metres × % copper per tonne) and 0.2 gram gold from 92.5 metres, including a 15.8-metre interval of 1.9% copper

Mod Resources 5. Subiaco, Western Australia-based Mod Resources (ASX: MOD) ranked fifth, after reporting results from its 70%-held T3 copper-silver project in Botswana’s Kalahari copper belt.

Metal Tiger (LON: MTR) holds the other 30%.

Mod released two assay results on March 6 from the newly discovered Zone 2 below the T3 resource area (now named Zone 1).

Hole 65D returned 72.6 metres (from 250 metres) of 1.5% copper (or 108.9 metres × % copper per tonne), plus 27 grams silver, including 18 metres of 2.7% copper and 52 grams silver.

On March 30, Mod said drilling has extended Zone 2’s disseminated mineralization, 700 metres along strike. Since discovering Zone 2 in February 2017, Mod completed 16 diamond core holes over six weeks to define the zone to 300 metres deep.

The zone remains open downdip.

Depending on the remaining assay results, Mod notes it may include Zone 2 in a potentially expanded T3 resource. “This is a high priority because Zone 2 lies directly below the proposed open pit and could have a material positive impact on the economics of the T3 PFS, already in progress,” Julian Hanna, Mod’s managing director, said in a release.

To accelerate the assay turnaround, the company is installing a sample preparation facility onsite. TNM

Goldcorp partners with Barrick in Northern Chile M&A

| Majors will develop Cerro Casale, Caspiche gold projects “SOME INVESTORS MIGHT QUESTION THE [JOINT VENTURE] IN THE NEAR-TERM, GIVEN THE CAPITAL OUTLAY.”

BY SALMA TARIKH

G

starikh@northernminer.com

oldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) is teaming up with Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) to develop gold-copper deposits in Northern Chile’s Atacama region — similar to what Goldcorp did earlier with Teck Resources (TSX: TECK.B; NYSE: TECK) at the NuevaUnion joint venture in the region.

The perceived risk of replenishing reserves is high, so collaboration among seniors to develop resources is regaining popularity after years of less exploration and capital spending in the industry. In late 2015, Goldcorp combined its El Morro gold-copper deposit with Teck’s Relincho copper-molybdenum asset in the Atacama region. It is now joint-venturing with Barrick to advance the Cerro Casale and Caspiche projects.

Goldcorp has announced three transactions — costing US$445million upfront in cash and shares — to create the fifty-fifty partnership with Barrick.

First, it intends to buy Kinross Gold’s (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) 25% interest in Cerro Casale and 100% interest in the Quebrada Seca exploration gold project for an initial US$260 million in cash. It will provide US$40 million after a positive construction decision on Cerro Casale, plus a 1.3% royalty on 25% of gross revenues from sales from Cerro Casale and Quebrada Seca.

Second, Goldcorp will buy another 25% interest in Cerro Casale from Barrick — lowering Barrick’s 75% stake to 50% — for a deferred payment of US$260 million, which it would pay through project expenses. Barrick will also get a 1.3% royalty on 25% of gross revenues, US$40 million after a positive construction decision and US$20 million when commercial production starts, as well as half of Quebrada Seca.

Goldcorp will take over Exeter Resource (TSX: XRC; NYSE-MKT: XRA) for US$185 million in shares for the junior’s wholly held Caspiche project. The gold-copper porphyry system is 10 km north of the Cerro Casale project. Goldcorp will exchange 0.12 of a share for each Exeter share. The deal values each Exeter share at $2.58 (US$1.93), marking a 67% premium over its March 27 close.

The Cerro Casale and Exeter transactions should close by June 30, and are not conditional on completing the other.

Goldcorp will transfer Caspiche into the joint venture, with half of the acquisition cost (US$85 million) deducted from the US$260 million it owes Barrick.

BMO analyst Andrew Kaip, who covers Barrick and Goldcorp, writes that the joint venture “represents a long-term opportunity for the two companies, but we do see how some investors might question the decision in the near-term, given the capital outlay.”

Desjardins analyst Michael Parkin says that “with an acquisition cost

of US$18 per equivalent oz. gold reserves, we see the price being paid as relatively in line with the discovery cost.”

The partners plan to advance the Cerro Casale and Caspiche deposits in a similar fashion to NuevaUnion.

“The joint venture with Barrick has the potential to allow us to consolidate infrastructure to reduce capital and operating costs, reduce the environmental footprint and provide increased returns, compared to two stand-alone projects,” Goldcorp’s CEO David Garofalo

said in a release.

Under the partnership, Goldcorp must spend at least US$60 million in the two years after the transaction closes, and US$80 million in each subsequent two-year period until it satisfies Barrick’s deferred payment. Garofalo was unavailable for comment at press time.

On a 100% basis, Cerro Casale’s gold and copper reserves are 23.3 million oz. gold and 5.8 billion lb. copper (1.2 billion tonnes at 0.6 gram gold per tonne and 0.2% copper).

It has 3.4 million oz. gold and 1.1 billion lb. copper in measured and indicated (297 million tonnes at 0.35 gram gold and 0.2% copper), plus significant silver credits.

Caspiche has a measured and indicated resource of 23 million oz. gold and 5.9 billion lb. (1.4 billion tonnes of 0.51 gram gold and 0.2% copper). It has another 198 million tonnes in inferred.

The partners expect to publish a concept study on the combined project in 18 to 24 months.

Cerro Casale sits 200 km from NuevaUnion. Goldcorp’s director of corporate communications Christine Marks notes there “won’t be a lot of operating synergies” between the joint ventures.

On the March 28 acquisition reports, Goldcorp shares fell 7% to $19.98; Exeter soared 56% to $2.41 per share; Barrick shares dropped 2.6% to $25.55; and Kinross fell 2.5% to $4.53. TNM

Endeavour Silver green-lights construction at El Compas MEXICAN SILVER

BY SALMA TARIKH

E

starikh@northernminer.com

ndeavour Silver (TSX: EDR; NYSE: EXK) plans to add a fourth mine to its Mexican operations, after an encouraging preliminary economic assessment (PEA) at its El Compas gold-silver project in Zacatecas state.

The miner operates three underground silver-gold mines: Guanacevi in Durango state, and Bolanitos and El Cubo in Guanajuato state.

Combined the three churned out 9.7 million equivalent oz. silver in 2016, in line with guidance.

The recent PEA outlines a small, low-cost operation at El Compas, with favourable economic returns.

It also included an initial resource estimate.

El Compas has 2.9 million indicated equivalent oz. silver (148,400 tonnes at 616 equivalent oz. silver) and 3.2 million inferred equivalent oz. silver (216,800 tonnes at 453 equivalent oz. silver).

1-16, 23_APR17_Main .indd 13

| El Compas could be a low-cost, profitable mine

Although the resource is small, it is high grade and shallow, starting from surface to 150 metres deep. The resource — along with Endeavour’s leased mill, sitting within 20 km — has contributed to El Compas’ low start-up costs of US$10 million and life-of-mine sustaining costs of US$1.8 million. Endeavour, with a cash balance of US$72 million, intends to fund El Compas’ construction internally.

The study envisions El Compas as a 200-tonne-per-day underground operation, even though the mill has an initial capacity of 250 tonnes per day. As a condition of the lease, the company is reserving the 50-tonne balance to buy and process ore from small miners in the district. If those miners don’t have any feed, Endeavour is free to use the extra capacity.

The PEA, however, has excluded this in the economic analysis.

Over its estimated 4.3-year mine life, El Compas should process 300,000 tonnes (200 tonnes a day) grading 86.4 grams silver per tonne

and 6.3 grams gold, with recoveries averaging 73% silver and 83.5% gold.

Estimated life-of-mine production is 583,000 oz. silver and 49,400 oz. gold, or 4 million equivalent oz. silver. Annual output averages 939,760 equivalent oz. silver, with expected all-in sustaining costs of US$9.64 per equivalent oz. silver over the mine life.

El Compas has all its permits, except for the explosives permit, and is calling for more clarity on an exemption from the state’s new environmental tax.

The company has not said when it will receive the outstanding permit and tax clarity for developing El Compas.

Meghan Brown, the company’s director of investor relations, says in an email that Endeavour “cannot provide a time line, as these items are not within our control. Our construction time line once these are in place is six months.”

Despite the short construction period, Endeavour cautions that

its decision to put El Compas into production based only on a PEA increases the technical and economic risks, but that it has the technical and financial capacity to manage such risks.

“We recognize that these risks are mitigated by the project’s low capex, short time line to production and Endeavour’s in-house experience,” Raymond James analyst Chris Thompson writes. He has a $5.50 price target and “market perform” rating on the stock.

Along with low capital requirements, the proposed mine has encouraging economics. Using US$18 per oz. silver and US$1,260 per oz. gold, which are around the current spot prices, El Compas would generate life-of-mine revenue of US$72.8 million and total free cash flow of US$16.5 million. The mine has a net present value of US$12.6 million and a 42% internal rate of return, both after taxes. Payback should take a little over two years.

Endeavour picked up El Compas

and the plant lease in a US$6.7million, all-share acquisition of Oro Silver Resources — a subsidiary of Canarc Resource (TSX: CCM) — last May. El Compas is a classic low-sulphidation epithermal vein deposit. It has two veins ready for development (El Compas and El Orito) and 10 other vein targets for exploration.

“The operation is scalable, if we discover or buy more mineral resources in the Zacatecas district and refurbish the second ball mill to double the plant capacity to 500 tonnes per day,” Bradford Cooke, Endeavour’s CEO, said in a release.

Thompson forecasts that including El Compas will increase his estimate for Endeavour’s 2018 production 9%, from 10.1 million to 11 million equivalent oz. silver.

Endeavour hasn’t published its 2018 production guidance, but for this year aims to produce between 8.9 and 9.7 million equivalent oz. silver from its three Mexican mines. TNM

credit at this stage of the story to the Ashton guys and to Soquem, because they found the asset. They did all the grassroots exploration for five years. They made the discovery in 2001. We were interlopers five years later, buying into it.

What we can claim credit for, since 2006, is getting the resource done, getting the economic studies done, getting the permitting done, building relationships with the Crees, getting it financed, getting it built and putting it into production.

TNM: Well, that’s a lot! Now, you never had a major mining company as a partner, but you did have Agnico’s guidance from early on, and then Soquem as partner at Renard.

Is that kind of the same thing, or was it different in some way?

MM: We had Agnico being supportive of Stornoway. Whenever we raised any money, Agnico would come in for a piece of it with a lead order. So that was useful.

David Garofalo, Agnico’s chief financial officer at the time and now the CEO of Goldcorp, was on our board for many years. He left when he went to Hudbay Minerals, and then Ebe Scherkus, the president of Agnico at the time, came on-board, and he’s still our chairman.

We always had this Agnico connection, and Sean Boyd has been supportive. When I won the Viola R. MacMillan award in 2015 at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention, the testimonial video for me was all Agnico guys talking.

Soquem was important, too.

When we bought Ashton we inherited a fifty-fifty JV with Soquem, so they were equal partners.

In the middle of the credit crisis, after we bought Ashton in 2006, we finished a bulk sample and put out the first resource and the first economic study, and it was skinny.

We had a six-year mine life and a $60-million net present value.

After all the fuss and the hubbub we’d made with the hostile takeover of Ashton, to come out with a skinny project in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the credit crisis … and that was November 2008.

By Christmas 2008, the stock was at five and a half cents and we were very depressed and running out of cash, and I had a very good CFO who was hiding money from me, so we’d have enough money to lay off all the employees.

That was a life or death moment for the company, and that’s when I became the CEO. Out of the gate in 2006 Eira was CEO and I was the president, and then she had her

first child in the middle of that, in January 2009. So she stepped back to take a maternity leave and I became the CEO, and then she came back after maternity.

Soquem was really important in that moment, because the only cash that we could raise at Stornoway was Quebec super-flow-through, which meant we were drilling from surface.

We decided, what the hell, we’re going to drill this orebody and see if we can make it bigger. For the drilling budget, we had $3 million in flow-through and Soquem chipped in $3 million to match.

So we had a $6-million drilling program, and off we went. And in 2009 we had a home run.

That drill program saved the company because we discovered the orebodies were not tapering at depth as kimberlites are supposed to, but were flaring open. The Renard pipes are like tubes, with Renard 2 being a big tube with a bulge in the middle. We discovered that bulge in the drilling in 2009, and that drill program tripled the size of the resource.

By 2010 we had a new economic study out, and the six-year mine life was now 18 years, and the $60 million NPV was now $600 million.

The Soquem relationship was really important for us, always.

And it was a very good and friendly relationship. We bought Ashton by hostile takeover, but they were quite happy to see us come in as project operators and partners.

And that good relationship culminated in 2011 when they sold their project interest to us for equity in Stornoway. That’s why Investissement Québec is such a big shareholder of Stornoway, because Soquem is their exploration vehicle.

Soquem is still there as a partner, just from within Stornoway now.

They’ve been on our board and have contributed to project financing, and have been big supporters.

TNM: That 2009 drilling campaign seemed like such a gamble at the time. Did you have some kind of indication that these pipes would bulge like they do, or were you just rolling the dice?

MM: No, we had scant drilling at depth, and we knew we had drawn the orebodies fairly conservatively at depth. We thought that maybe we’d be able to get the mine life to eight or nine years by fattening up the orebodies a little bit at depth.

But then we discovered that at one level in the kimberlite, it’s kind of kidney-bean shaped. And one of the older Ashton drill holes had gone through one part of the kidney bean and stopped in waste rock in the middle of the kidney bean.

And that drill hole, if it had gone 5 metres more, would have gone into the other side of the kidney bean and kept on going.

We actually redrilled that hole and found that. We got into the orebody 5 metres further on, and then went for 170 metres more in high-grade kimberlite before we left the orebody again.

We realized the original drilling — which was very scant, with one vertical hole and one cross hole — was only one part of the overall footprint of the orebody.

The adage in mining: “if you’re in a pickle, drill” — is true. Mining is a risk- and luck-based business.

You don’t get lucky unless you’re prepared to drill and search for something. And we got lucky in 2009, for sure.

TNM: Stornoway has undergone

this tremendous shift from explorer to developer to mine operator. Was there a time that you knew you would mine it yourself? Did you originally develop it thinking you’d sell it at some point?

MM: We didn’t really have the option to sell it. Rio Tinto had sold to us, so they weren’t buyers. The other potential buyers in the business didn’t have the inclination.

The diamond business suffers in that it is a small pond. We’ve been swimming in each other’s company for far too long, and everyone has pretty nasty, prejudicial views of everybody else’s assets. That’s why you rarely see any corporate activity in the diamond space.

We always wanted to develop it ourselves, and always said we were going to operate it ourselves. But nobody ever came over the hill and gave us an offer we couldn’t refuse.

If somebody had, of course, we would have taken it — that’s our responsibility.

But no, we were always on the path of doing it ourselves, and that never changed.

TNM: As a CEO, how do you transition your workforce from explorer to developer to miner?

MM: We’ve kind of just grown. We’ve still got the core of the exploration group in Vancouver. We inherited a very big exploration group from Ashton of 45 people, and we’ve reduced that over the years, as that was too much.

A lot of those guys went to Peregrine Diamonds, people like Catherine Fitzgerald. Another is John Armstrong, who is the resource guy at Lucara Diamond.

But the core of the group under Robin Hopkins is still there at Stornoway.

We relocated the head office in 2012 from Vancouver to Montreal, and we had previously hired a mine builder in a guy named Pat Godin, who is our chief operating officer, in 2010.

And Pat has been very influential in the company, because he has built the operating Stornoway around him in that head office in Montreal.

We deliberately repositioned Stornoway over a space of two and a half

years from being a Vancouver-based, Anglophone exploration company to being a Montreal-based, Francophone mining company.

The vestiges of the original company are still there, but there’s been a cultural sea-change. Our board has evolved over that period and investor base has evolved, and that was a stepwise exercise over a twoyear period.

TNM: Going back to that incredible financing — which was the largestever project financing package for a publicly listed diamond mining company — how did you cobble that together?

MM: We were in the trenches. It was 2011 and we had a good project. We knew we could build it but we had a lousy market cap, and we started going down the path of traditional mine project financing, which is basically half debt and half equity, with a cost overrun facility that’s equity based.

We had no problem arranging the debt. We had seven commercial banks that we were negotiating with in a syndicate. And we had an indicative term sheet for $450 million of senior debt. But that was going to require us to do the same amount of equity, plus another $150-million equity cost overrun.

So we were facing a $600-million equity raise and our market cap was $120 million. And that’s where we were getting stuck.

As we were scratching our heads on that one in late 2011 and early 2012, BHP decided to sell the Ekati mine and start a public process. We were bidders, and we were very low on the radar, and nobody really knew we were there, apart from a little bit of media.

By early 2012, we got to the short list, where there were four companies. Two bids went in finally: ours and Dominion Diamond’s.

Ours was fully financed with private equity and bank debt, with Scotia advising us.

And we lost. Dominion Diamond won it.

That story isn’t really well known.

But coming second opened doors for us, because there were 11 or 12 bidders in that process — a whole

bunch of private equity guys and different teams were assembling, and it was a big old process.

That second half of 2012 we had serious discussions with potential financiers and private equity guys on different types of structure to finance Renard.

Because the reason we were bidding for Ekati was this: rather than raising all this money for Renard, why not raise money and do less equity and more debt to buy an existing operating mine like Ekati?

Then we’d be a mining company and that would give us a balance sheet, and later we’d do Renard.

Renard would become the development asset in the pipeline, after buying Ekati.

It was a very good strategy that almost worked out. All these doors opened in 2012, and we talked to all these private equity guys and different types of debt providers, banks and streamers, and royalty companies.

That started a process that took another year, and by late 2013 and early 2014, we had the deal that we wanted.

What was unique about our financing deal when we did it was how complicated it was. There were so many different pieces.

The penalty we paid for being a small cap company raising so much money — we were a $120-million marker cap company raising $944 million — is that everybody needed to be the last money in, and everybody needed to have confidence that the other pieces of the puzzle were going to be done.

So the private equity, the public equity, the streaming deal, the senior debt facility, the convertible debt facility that was marketed, the costoverrun facility and the equipment financing deal were all negotiated simultaneously, and launched simultaneously. And they were all co-dependent on all the other ones closing.

TNM: Good lord.

MM: Yes, so that was a horrendous process. But it worked. And we always said it worked because we managed to get a whole bunch of people that I called at the time “the coalition of good intent.” Everybody wanted the deal to work, and we just had to work out how that was going to go.

We had that all done by July 2014, and that got us into construction, and that has got us to where we are now.

TNM: Turning to the situation on the ground, you needed to build relationships with the local Cree, and then there was the Quebec government’s Plan Nord infrastructure program and the need to build a road to the mine site. How has all that evolved over the years?

MM: Ashton did a very good job before us in getting on the ground early and establishing relationships with the Cree and giving updates.

So the engagement was very good when we came in 2006. And we broadened and deepened that.

The Cree are very, very good. They are very sophisticated. There’s a lot of capacity there in terms of skills and employment, and businesses in particular. Our two biggest contractors in the construction of the mine were both Cree businesses.

We did a confidentiality agreement during the Impacts and Benefits Agreement negotiations in 2011.

We were under confidentiality, and they had our financial model. We

had no fear of doing that, and the trust was good.

They struck a hard bargain but they were commercially sensitive to what we were trying to achieve. And we tried to be as sensitive as possible to what they were trying to achieve.

We got a good deal on reasonable terms, good for both parties, and a deal similar to Goldcorp’s deal with them on Éléonore.

The Crees have very good governance. They have two levels of government and they have very good leadership. They don’t have the problem of having a disenfranchised community. In so many aboriginal communities, the grassroots community members are going in a different direction than the leadership.

The leadership is who the mining company has to talk to, ultimately.

And if the leadership is not enfranchised to talk to us by their communities, nothing ever happens, right?

The Cree doesn’t have that situation. They are much more politically mature. They’re completely straight ahead. They are very good people to work with, and are organized.

They have a specific mining policy document that outlines what they are trying to achieve in terms of resource development. And there are some projects they don’t want to have: They didn’t want to have Strateco, they don’t want uranium mining.

They wanted to have us, and they wanted to have others. So they are very self-confident in what they want.

Our challenge with our social engagement is employment. There are actually competing employment options for the Cree in the James Bay area. There is Hydro-Quebec, the community corporations and the band councils.

We have a hard time getting Cree employees into our management ranks because when we get them into our management ranks, we tend to lose them to other opportunities.

That’s our challenge with that. In terms of business opportunities, spending in the communities, and in terms of social and environmental responsibilities, it has gone very well.

TNM: And the road?

MM: Plan Nord was great timing for us, because we needed a road to the mine. We knew we couldn’t do a fly-in and winter roads in that part of the world are pretty unreliable

“THE DIAMOND BUSINESS SUFFERS IN THAT IT IS A SMALL POND. WE’VE BEEN SWIMMING IN EACH OTHER’S COMPANY FOR FAR TOO LONG, AND EVERYONE HAS PRETTY NASTY, PREJUDICIAL VIEWS OF EVERYBODY ELSE’S ASSETS.” MATT MANSON PRESIDENT AND CEO, STORNOWAY DIAMOND

because it’s just not cold enough.

There had been a mine in the area called the Eastmain gold mine, and it ran in the 1990s for six years, but it failed because the roads to that project failed one winter.

We needed a road, and the communities of Chibougamau and Mistissini had spent the money, along with industry, to plan out the road into our project, and had actually funded all the feasibility work. At the time there were four projects that were likely going to be built off that road: Strateco, Western Troy and their copper-moly project, the old Eastmain mine reopening, and us.

The road was shovel-ready when Premier Jean Charest launched Plan Nord in mid-2011.

We immediately put our hand up and negotiated a cost-sharing agreement with the Quebec government under Plan Nord to get that road built. We were prepared to put money into the road, and they were prepared to finance our ability to get money into the road, so they lent us the money to chip into the pool.

And the work got started.

During that period, the three other mine projects in that area fell away. Eastmain never reopened. The copper-moly project that Western Troy had became a big shit show because they made mistakes, and Troy ended up suing Genivar, which is still going on.

Then Strateco became a lawsuit because the Cree didn’t want uranium mining and that meant they didn’t get a permit from Quebec for a bulk sample. And that’s still going on in court.

We were the last man standing.

Quebec was very trusting in us, because we didn’t have our financing in place. We were trying to do our mine project financing off a small market cap and they were confident enough in us that we could do it to the extent that they were going to build a road.

That was a leap of faith on their part, but it all worked out pretty well. The road got built, the mine is operating and we paid back the loan they gave us, and so far, so good.

TNM: Today, how would you characterize the mine operations?

MM: We were the only mine under construction in Eastern Canada in that period. We were able to come in five months ahead of schedule and that allowed us to come in an

acceptable amount under budget.

We’ve been ramping up since August. We are doing well with the resource. We are getting the grades and the tonnes and the diamonds we expect.

We are breaking diamonds in our process plant. We are telling everybody about the classic rampup problems that diamond mines have. The Ekati mine had the same problem in 1998.

Our process plant was experiencing a higher level of diamond breakage than we expected, so that’s a bit of a challenge, and affects the achieved price we’re getting.

But that’s a problem that’s fixable, and it’s our principal ramp-up, commissioning issue in the process plant. But we’ll get that sorted.

Our diamonds are being very well received. When you look at diamonds, the first couple of sales, people are a little cautious, they don’t know how it’s going to come out, how the stones are going to perform on the polishing wheels.

They don’t know how the colour is going to change.

But there has been a change. The first two sales were cautious but the last two were terrific. We were healthily over our reserve pricing in every category.

But it’s early days for us and it’s going to take a little while to settle down — the same as with Diavik diamonds — but there are going to be Quebec diamonds in stores in the not too distant future, and that is encouraging.

TNM: When you look out at the mining world and see so many companies crash and fail, and CEOs come and go, how do you compare that with Stornoway and yourself, and what is your explanation for your staying power and sustained success?

MM: I think three things. The Renard asset is very good. A mining company succeeds based on the quality of the asset at the end of the day. Bad management groups can screw things up and good management can do well, but you’ve got have a good asset. The very best management group can’t do well with a lousy asset.

Number two I’d say is Quebec.

Quebec’s always been a fantastic place to do exploration and to do work. And I don’t just mean institutionally, I mean the whole culture of mining in Quebec. It’s part of the

economy, it’s part of the culture. Our contractors, the Crees, the whole thing is set up to help people like us succeed.

I’d say the third thing is the team, the investors, the board and the lenders. Stornoway is a happy ship.

We don’t have big fights on our board. We’re not firing people and getting into lawsuits all the time.

We are pretty chunkily held, and we have long-time shareholders who are happy and have stuck with us.

And that’s not always the case.

There lots of examples of companies that are more conflict-based and dramatic.

We’re a pretty functional outfit, and I’ll give you a good example of that. When we were in the trenches of doing our financing, the market only sees the deal that you do. They don’t see the deals that you don’t do.

We were getting all kinds of offers that were stinky deals at difficult times, and I took them to our board and major shareholders, and told them: “This will get the project financed, but it will be punishing and terrible for shareholders. And I don’t think we should do it, however we have no other option — it’s the only deal on the table. The option is to take this, and all the pain, or to stay the course with no parachute and no plan B. We just have to keep trying and not take the bad deals.”

The board always backed me up and the shareholders always backed me up. So if you have a happy ship and everybody’s working together, it’s a very good thing. And we’ve had that at Stornoway for many years now.

TNM: You’ve grown so steadily over the past decade. How do go about building a team and getting people to complement each other?

MM: I believe in a traditional hierarchy in mining. When I worked for the original Aber with Bob Gannicott, he was much more entrepreneurial, creative and non-traditional in terms of management structure.

It was much flatter with undefined roles.

I tend to follow the pattern of having everyone know what their job is and know who they are reporting to. I like to have competent people do their job, and delegate to them.

I have a propensity to be involved in things, but I try to let people take responsibility and have a proper hierarchy.

I’m blessed by having a very, very competent chief operating officer, so my strategy with my COO is that he has full authority over our relationships in Quebec, with the Cree and on the mine site. I let him do his job, and he tells me everything that goes on. And that’s fundamental for our success working together. And that’s how I meant to do it.

Barkerville sees long-term potential in Cariboo Gold BC GOLD

| Barkerville expands high-grade gold mineralization at Island Mountain

BY LESLEY STOKES

lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

arkerville Gold Mines (TSXV: BGM) is in for a busy year at its Cariboo Gold property outside the historic 3 million oz.

Barkerville placer gold camp in south-central British Columbia.

The junior explorer has plans to begin small-scale underground production at the property’s Bonanza Ledge deposit, followed by a resource update for the project’s most promising assets: Cow and Island Mountains.

Chris Lodder, president and CEO of Barkerville, says during a phone interview with The Northern Miner that the underground mining could test for future production at Cow and Island Mountains — the details of which would be outlined in a feasibility study expected in 2018.

“We’ll start with something small so we can learn how to mine these deposits from underground, and apply it to the rest of the property,” Lodder says, noting the vein-hosted and replacement-style orogenic gold deposits fall within a 67 km long belt of prospective rocks.

“Any thing we build for the long-term will have to be scalable, because we expect to find deposits along the entire mineralized trend … we envision this camp as a 20-year-plus asset,” he adds.

As of April 4, the company is fully permitted to mine Bonanza Ledge at a rate of 150,000 tonnes of ore per year. Barkerville expects to start production by July, and process the material at the company’s QR milling facility, 110 km south.

After two years, Lodder says the company would switch to mining resources at the BC Vein, a structurally controlled gold vein that subvertically crosscuts the replacement ore at Bonanza Ledge.

Mineralization at Bonanza Ledge was originally mined as an openpit between March 2014 and April

2015. The operation produced 91,234 tonnes of 8.66 grams gold for 24,000 oz. gold.

An updated, geologically constrained resource announced on April 7 states that the Bonanza Ledge and BC Vein contains 684,900 tonnes of 7.21 grams gold per tonne as measured and indicated, and 108,100 tonnes of 5.34 grams gold as inferred.

The company is continuing with a 130,000-metre drill program focused largely on Island Mountain, which builds upon a 60,000-metre campaign last year at Cow Mountain.

Lodder says the company wants to drill enough metres to geologically constrain the upcoming resource model, and not over-rely on statistical interpolation, as was the case in previous resource estimates at the property.

“We don’t believe in the resource we inherited,” he says, referring to the 2012 incident where previous management announced that Cow Mountain had 10.6 mil-

lion oz. gold, which triggered the British Columbia Securities Commission to issue an 11-month cease-trade order, and call on the company to revise the estimate to meet National Instrument 43-101 standards.

“With these structurally controlled deposits you need a lot more drilling to get a competent resource that you’ll go to feasibility with.

You’re looking at spending $25 million for every million ounces of indicated resources.”

A revised 2015 resource estimate says that Cow Mountain has 35.8 million indicated tonnes at 2.4 grams gold per tonne for 2.8 million oz. gold, plus 27.5 million inferred tonnes at 2.3 grams gold for 2 million oz. gold, using a 0.5 gram gold cut-off. The deposit was the site of an underground mining operation between 1952 and 1993 — the Cariboo Gold Quartz mine — which saw 1.7 million tonnes of production between 12.5 and 18.8 grams gold, for a total of 626,800 oz. gold.

“ANYTHING WE BUILD FOR THE LONGTERM WILL HAVE TO BE SCALABLE … THIS CAMP IS A 20-YEAR-PLUS ASSET.” CHRIS LODDER PRESIDENT AND CEO, BARKERVILLE GOLD MINES

Although no resource is outlined at Island Mountain, over 603,800 oz. gold at grades between 10.9 and 20.9 grams gold was produced from the deposit’s Aurum and Mosquito Creek underground mines between 1934 and 1987.

“Previous producers found high grades, but keep in mind that they were being selective, and we’re not going to do that. We’re looking for corridors of higher vein densities, which means more tonnage and lower grades,” Lodder says, adding that Island Mountain appears to fit the bill.

“We always liked Island Mountain. The historical data and some of the underground mapping and sampling we did last year really

and

indicated that we see much higher vein densities. The mineralization would be more amenable to underground mining rather than open-pit, which is environmentally friendly and easier to permit.”

Drilling at Island Mountain has established new vein corridors, and expanded upon previously known mineralized zones, with highlights of 24.7 grams gold over 6.6 metres, 12.5 grams gold over 3.7 metres and 21.2 grams over 5.1 metres.

But what makes Island Mountain attractive as an exploration target, the technical report states, is that it falls within a 2.4 km long mineralized trend — almost twice the length of Cow Mountain “We’ve drilled thousands of metres and mapped kilometres of underground drives to figure out what’s going on geologically, and we realized there’s a repetitive control to mineralization that we can apply to our drilling,” he says. “So instead of hitting mineralization within three out of 10 holes, we now hit our targets in 10 out of 10 holes, and that’s been a real game changer for this project.”

An analyst report from Haywood Securities, which initiated coverage of Barkerville on March 30, agrees that the previous resource estimate for Cow Mountain is “technically deficient.” The report predicts that Cow Mountain’s resource could drop to 750,000 oz. gold in the new resource estimate, whereas Island Mountain could contain upwards of 1.25 million oz. gold.

The firm speculates the property could be an “acquisition target for a producer looking to add to its longterm project pipeline,” and values Barkerville shares at $1.

“We’re looking at internal financing from the group, so we won’t look to do anything major until we get to the stage where we decide if we’re going to build something on-site,” Lodder says.

Shares of Barkerville have traded within a 52-week range between 41¢ and 72¢, and closed at 63¢ at press time. The company has 310.3 million shares outstanding for a $214.3-million market capitalization. TNM

APRIL 17–30, 2017 / THE NORTHERN MINER

M A R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / APRIL 3–7 Canada’s benchmark index touched a six-week high, as gold prices rose on the back of geopolitical developments. The S&P/TSX Composite Index edged up 0.7% to 15,667.13. The S&P/TSX Global Mining Index advanced 2.4% to 67.79, while the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index gained 3.3% to close at 214.53. Spot gold added US$4.60, or 0.37%, to f inish at US$1,253.80 per share.

Statistics Canada reported the economy created 19,400 jobs in March — up from the expected 5,930. But the unemployment rate moved to 6.7% from 6.6% in February, as more people looked for work.

Harte Gold rose nearly 30% to 70¢ per share. The junior received the Developer of the Year award from the Northwestern Ontario Prospectors Association for its Sugar zone property in White River, Ont., and also started property-wide airborne surveys.

Harte recently carried out an advanced exploration bulk sample and transitioned to phase one commercial production at the Sugar zone. The junior received its first production permit for another 30,000 tonnes in January 2017, which will allow continued production until it gets full commercial permitting. Harte expects to reach commercial production within a year.

The junior also began airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys on the original Sugar zone property and the recently staked claims. The surveys will help identify exploration targets on the 625 sq. km package and guide exploration drilling this year.

Talon Metals shares jumped 23.5% to close at 11¢, despite disappointing drill results from its 18.5%-held Tamarack nickel-copperplatinum group metals project in Minnesota.

Four drill holes from the early 2017 exploration program failed to return mineralization from the 480 zone.

The goal of step-out drilling in the 480 zone, 3.5 km north of the Tamarack zone, was to test the potential extension of previously drilled, shallow mineralization. During the 2009–2010 program, one hole returned TSX MOST ACTIVE ISSUES

11.5 metres of 1.1% nickel and 0.8% copper from 43 metres. Talon says the program will explore new targets.

Barrick Gold was the second most actively traded stock, finishing up 38¢ at $25.64, with 20.4 million shares traded. The major announced a strategic cooperation agreement with Shandong Gold, where the Chinese miner will buy half of the Veladero gold mine in Argentina for US$960 million. The proceeds

will go towards debt repayment.

Under the agreement, the partners could jointly develop the suspended Pascua-Lama project, as well as evaluate investment opportunities in the El Indio gold belt on the border of Argentina and Chile.

Veladero’s sale should close by the end of June. Shandong’s involvement with any other project would be subject to negotiations and more investments. TNM

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / APRIL 3–7 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index gained 8.5 points to an 824.7-point close over the trading week, as spot gold prices gained US$6.10 to US$1,257.3 per oz., and Comex copper prices remained steady at $2.65 per pound.

Shares of White Gold led the value-added category, gaining 50¢ to $2.20. On March 22, the company closed a $10-million private placement in which 5.6 million flow-through shares were offered at $1.80 per share. Agnico Eagle Mines participated in the offering and kept its 19.9% interest in the junior explorer.

White Gold owns a portfolio of projects that encompass 30% of the Yukon’s prospective White Gold district, south of the 30 million oz. Klondike placer goldfields surrounding Dawson City.

Through a series of trades ending on April 5, Osisko Mining acquired ownership of 3.9 million shares of Beaufield Resources at 18¢ per share, thereby raising its stake in the junior explorer to 18.1%. The news drove shares of Beaufield up 9¢ to 32¢ during trading. Beaufield has been exploring its Rouleau gold zone, located 7 km southeast of Osisko’s Windfall gold deposit in southern Quebec.

Highway 50 Gold was a front-runner in the greatest percentage change category, rising 111.5%, or 28¢ per share, to 55¢ per share,

after suspending its current drill program at its Monroe lead-zinc project in southeastern B.C., until weather conditions improve. The company was in the midst of drill-testing a stratigraphic horizon known to host the worldclass Sullivan lead-zinc deposit, located 40 km north. The depth of the hole has surpassed the expected target depth between 550 and 600 metres, but remains within the hangingwall stratigraphy at 785 metres deep. In May 2016, Highway 50 entered into an agreement with private company Eagle Putt Ventures to earn a 50% undivided interest in the 12.8 sq. km property by spending $3 million in exploration over the next four years.

The company says the projects could have synergies with the future development of Metates, which has proven and probable reserves of 1.1 billion tonnes

of 0.5 gram gold, 14.2 grams silver and 0.2% zinc. Highlights include 60 metres of 71 grams silver per tonne and 0.6% lead from quartz-silver stockworks along a 4 km long trend at its San Javier target.

U.S. MARKETS / APRIL 3–7 U.S. President Donald Trump’s unexpected decision to launch a U.S. military strike on a Syrian government airbase on April 6 failed to roil markets in New York as expected, but the action drove gold to a five-month high before finishing the week up 0.37% to US$1,253.80 per ounce. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.04% to 20,656.10 and the S&P 500 Index dropped 0.30% to 2,355.54. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 3.2% to US$52 per barrel.

Shares of Rio Tinto fell US7¢ to US$40.61.

The company reported on April 5 that amended income tax assessments from 2010 to 2013 by the Australian Commissioner of Taxation require that Rio pay additional tax of A$379 million, plus A$68 million in interest for a total of A$447 million. Rio says this payment would come along with A$25.5 billion in taxes and royalties that the company paid in Australia during the same four-year period. “Rio Tinto voluntarily approached the Australian Tax Office [ATO] more than a decade ago seeking to confirm its pricing arrangements,” the company stated. “The transfer price in dispute is in line with an outcome agreed by the ATO years prior to

18_APRIL17_MarketNews.indd 18

2010. Rio Tinto considers that its pricing is in accordance with the internationally recognized Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development guidelines and Australian domestic law.” The company noted that the assessments result in double taxation and that management will seek relief under the Australia-Singapore double tax treaty. In the meantime, however, it said it will pay half of the total amount this month.

EnGold discovers copper-rich skarn at Lac La Hache BC DISCOVERY

lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

ngold Mines (TSXV: EGM) has mobilized another drill rig to its Lac La Hache polymetallic property in central B.C., after finding a copper-gold-silver skarn zone in recent drilling.

The company intercepted 26.6 metres of 1.8% copper, 0.27 gram gold per tonne, 10.3 grams silver per tonne and 35.8% iron at 337 metres deep in a hole designed to test a poorly constrained, 1 by 1.4 km wide gravity anomaly.

The Feb. 22 announcement triggered shares of the company to almost double to 40¢ at press time.

The hole was a diversion from the company’s 6,200-metre drill program, which was intended to target the extensions of a goldbearing structure at the project’s Aurizon South zone.

| EnGold expands drill program to probe gravity anomaly for skarn mineralization “AURIZON SOUTH IS THE MOST COMPELLING TARGET ON THE PROPERTY, BUT THIS DISCOVERY HAS CHANGED THAT. WE NOW HAVE A DUAL FOCUS.” DAVID BRETT PRESIDENT AND CEO, ENGOLD MINES

EnGold president and CEO David Brett tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview that the gravity anomaly could reflect the presence of skarn mineralization similarly seen at the project’s Spout deposit, 1.8 km northwest.

T he deposit cont a i ns a resource of 7.6 million indicated tonnes of 11.4% magnetite and 0.3% copper, and 15.8 million inferred tonnes of 8.3% magnetite and 0.2% copper.

“It was an itch we just had to scratch … so I agreed to add a

hole to the current program, and sure enough, we hit this amazinglooking core,” Brett says. “Aurizon South is absolutely the most compelling target on the property, but this discovery has changed that.

We now have a dual focus.”

The company has begun drilling extensions of the new zone, and plans to complete a more detailed gravity survey, which will guide future drilling.

While Brett wouldn’t comment on details of the program, he expects it will be aggressive.

“The resource calculation at Spout rendered the deposit unappealing as a focus … but we see size potential at this new zone compared to the Spout deposit,” he says. “We have a fairly large anomaly, and if we step out from where we are, we could build tonnes much faster than we can at Spout.”

But the size of the anomaly doesn’t necessarily ref lect the size of a potential orebody, Rob Shives, EnGold’s vice-president of exploration, points out during an interview.

“The grav it y sur vey is ver y poorly constrained by sparse data.

We have one line of data, and that defines the size of the anomaly,” he says. “We are careful to not suggest an orebody of these dimensions, but what we do have suggests it could be quite extensive.”

The gravity method in geophysics aims to calculate the density of

rocks, whereby the highest gravity values equate to the rocks with the most density, and vice-versa.

Shives says the company first conducted the survey in 2015, as “proof of concept” that skarn-style mineralization on the property — which occurs with dense magnetite and focuses along a stratigraphic contact — lights up as a gravity high in the data.

He adds that magnetic geophysical surveys — which measures the magnetism of rocks beneath the surface — isn’t as useful, as the rock’s magnetic response falls off at depth.

“The skarn mineralization we see in this new zone lies within the same volcaniclastic unit as the Spout deposit, but we’ve never seen this uniformity of grade,” he says. “It’s got a sense of continuity that we don’t have at Spout, which is a lot more spotty and difficult to follow.” TNM
