t’s an exciting time in Canada’s Yukon Territory. On July 20, Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) completed its acquisition of explorer Kaminak Gold and its multimillion-ounce Coffee gold project, 130 km south of Dawson City along the western bank of the Yukon River. The entrance of a senior gold producer anywhere in Canada is always big news in mining circles, but it’s even bigger in a territory that’s yet to host a major hard-rock gold mining camp.

In July as part of a media tour, The Northern Miner flew by helicopter into the historic Coffee camp, which was abuzz following a vote from Kaminak shareholders that saw 99% support for the acquisition.

Even the geological staff, busy with a drill program at the site, seemed happy at the news. The acquisition is a $520-million, all-share transaction and represents a 3% dilution for Goldcorp shareholders.

Helicopters hovered overhead as the media tour pulled into camp

to meet Goldcorp’s executive vicepresident of corporate affairs and sustainability, Brent Bergeron.

“One of the main benefits for Goldcorp was the way this project was developed by the Kaminak team, which really spiked our interest,” Bergeron said during a presentation, commenting that it was not only with respect to technical aspects of the project, but also on the consultative and social side.

“We have an opportunity to invest all over the world, and I see this as a great jurisdiction, with a lot of support from government and local communities,” he said. “I like investing dollars where there is consistency and transparency.”

Coffee’s potential as a heap-leach gold mine for oxide reserves has been established. The structurally hosted hydrothermal gold deposit has good grades, with probable reserves totalling 46 million tonnes

grading 1.45 grams gold per tonne for 2.2 million contained oz. gold.

Previous heap-leach metallurgical studies indicate 86% life-of-mine gold recoveries.

In early 2016, Kaminak tabled a feasibility study for Coffee that would require $317 million in preproduction capital to develop an operation that would crank out 193,000 oz. annually over a 10-year mine life at all-in sustaining costs of US$550 per oz. gold.

Assuming a US$1,150 per oz. gold price and a US78¢ Canadian dollar, the project generates a $455-million, after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate and a 37% internal rate of return. Annual after-tax free cash flow is an estimated $93 million.

“When we take a look at our operating model, we’re going through some changes in terms of our plans.

We’re probably looking [company-

wide] at having six to eight largescale industrial complexes, with an aggregate production rate of between 3 to 4 million oz. gold per year,” Bergeron says.

“We’re constantly reviewing our portfolio to divest any assets that don’t fit, and looking at assets like Coffee that are consistent with our strategy of partnering with junior mining companies to identify developing districts with exploration potential,” he says.

During a helicopter flight to the top of Coffee’s Supremo deposit, Bergeron discussed Goldcorp’s near-term plans for the project.

Kaminak had pitched a more modest development plan to reflect the recent downturn in the gold market, but had hoped to produce first gold by 2019, which would have necessitated major permitting this year.

Kaminak’s feasibility study had only involved 44% of Coffee’s global in-situ gold ounces of 63.7 million indicated tonnes at 1.45 grams gold per tonne for 3 million contained oz. gold, with much of it open at depth.

plan, however, is hosted in littleexplored sulphide or transitional material.

“Having a large company like us come in and work with the technical team really decreases the risk involved in building and developing the project,” Bergeron said as we walked along one of the many trenches that mark the extensive Coffee orebodies. “We offer the financial strength and flexibility to develop the project and unlock significant resource potential across the property. That’s part of what we want to do over the short- and long-term.”

Kaminak’s surveying generated many gold-in-soil anomaly targets.

The regional Dawson Range avoided glaciation during the last ice age, so glacial erosion and deposition of till, or outwash sediments, did not occur. Such undisturbed surface material has led to a 90% success rate in underlying bedrock drilling.

Flying around Coffee, work camps are spotted at the 185 sq. km Boulevard gold project next door, which is held by Independence Gold (TSXV: IGO). Goldcorp picked up a 19.9% position in the junior in June, which again speaks to the major's view of the region as a district-scale play.

IN JUNE, GOLDCORP WAS REPORTEDLY IN WHITEHORSE TO BEGIN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE YUKON GOVERNMENT ON ITS REGULATORY PROCESS. “There are quite a few projects that are adjacent to Coffee, and we’re always looking at possibilities that will allow us to build a camp and be here for the long-term,” Bergeron said.

“We’re definitely watching junior explorers, and when it’s appropriate we will make those investments and work with them to develop opportunities. We want to make sure that we’re moving [promising projects] forward.”

While Goldcorp appears committed to developing a mining camp at Coffee, Kaminak’s development schedule is unclear. Will the project still hit production by 2019? During a conversation in the well-stocked core shack, Bergeron said the plan seems “aggressive,” but complimented the

Kaminak team for “great work” in pursuing permits.

“We’ll pursue quartz mining and water permits simultaneously … companies have done it separately in the Yukon, which probably puts you in the position of five years for permitting,” Bergeron said of Goldcorp's recent discussions with the Yukon government.

“The process is set up for the same time, however, and this gives you the ability to cut down your time line … investing in a lot of the work up front will help us pursue an aggressive permitting strategy. We do not want to delay the project, but we want to make sure we’re starting off on the right foot with government and First Nations.”

Goldcorp shares have traded in a 52-week range of $13.55 to $26.56, and last closed at $23.73.

The company has 10 mines in the Americas and expects to produce up to 3 million oz. gold this year. It has 832.3 million shares outstanding for an $18.7-billion market capitalization. TNM

Oroplata picks up lithium brine project in Western Nevada Basin TECHNOLOGY METALS

hinese billionaire Jia Yueting dresses like Steve Jobs and thinks like Elon Musk.

The Beijing-based entrepreneur, who made his money initially in online video streaming and wireless telecoms, is confident that a California-based company he backs called Faraday Future will produce its first electric car as early as 2018 from a US$1-billion factory it is building in North Las Vegas.

Faraday’s planned 3-millionsquare-foot manufacturing facility is not far from where Tesla is putting the finishing touches on its massive Gigafactory, outside Reno, Nev., which will make lithium-ion batteries for the 500,000 electric vehicles the carmaker plans to churn out annually later this decade.

In January, Faraday unveiled its latest concept car at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The sleek, single-occupant FFZero1 looks like a cross between a Batmobile and Chevrolet’s third-generation Corvette.

“Faraday has fairly ambitious plans,” Craig Alford, president and CEO of Oroplata Resources (USOTC: ORRP) tells The Northern Miner. “Apart from the plant north of Las Vegas, they seem to be planning another car plant north of San Francisco.”

That suits Alford and his management team at Oroplata Resources just fine.

Last month the junior acquired a lithium brine project in southwestern Nevada, 257 km from Las Vegas and 362 km from Reno, that is about equidistant from Tesla’s Gigafactory and Faraday’s proposed manufacturing plant.

“I see the electric vehicle as the real catalyst that will drive demand for lithium,” Alford says in a telephone interview from his home in Thunder Bay. “The upcoming demand for lithium for electric vehicles is unserviceable from current lithium production worldwide.”

“Just imagine if the electric vehicle market starts to take up 10% to 25% of the total vehicle market,” he muses. “This is why lithium production has to come online, and fast … a 1% penetration by electric vehicles into the gasoline vehicle market translates to 70,000 tonnes of lithium.”

Alford says the Western Nevada Basin (WNB) project is situated to provide lithium to the electric vehicle market. The project, 151 km northeast of Tonopah, is in central Nevada’s Railroad Valley, a desert basin in the state that stretches 130 km long from north to south, and up to 32 km wide.

The project covers the southcentral portion of an area that the

1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16_Aug1_Main .indd 3

United States Geological Survey (USGS) first identified as “lithium rich” in the 1970s, and which Alford says “could rival the Clayton Valley.” Clayton Valley is home to Albemarle’s (NYSE: ALB) Silver Peak lithium brine mine, the only producing lithium mine in the U.S., and Pure Energy Minerals’ (TSXV: PE) Clayton Valley South lithium brine project.

Oroplata says WNB could host lithium-bearing brines in aquifers beneath the valley floor. The surrounding country rock are Tertiaryage volcanics — good source rocks for lithium — and the basin is sizeable, with coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies.

Alford notes that Railroad Valley is one of the longest topographically closed drainage basins in Nevada and is as big as the Salinas Grandes, an enormous salt flat in centralnorthern Argentina’s Salta and Jujuy provinces, 70 km southeast of Orocobre’s (TSX: ORL) flagship Olaroz project.

“THE UPCOMING DEMAND FOR LITHIUM FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES IS UNSERVICEABLE FROM CURRENT LITHIUM PRODUCTION WORLDWIDE.” CRAIG ALFORD PRESIDENT AND CEO, OROPLATA RESOURCES

“The Railroad Valley basin is interesting — there is a bull’s-eye anomaly of lithium there — particularly in the dry sediment samples that the USGS collected over a number of years,” he says. “Looking at the USGS geophysical database and the thousands of samples, we noted there was a large coincident anomaly.

In any exploration, when you’re looking at targets with potential, a geologist loves to see the geochem, geology and geophysics line up, and you get the ‘Holy Trinity’ of coincident anomalies.”

Alford modelled his search for gravity lows on the work Pure Energy did in the Clayton Valley. “Pure Energy was clever — they didn’t look at the current topography — they looked at the geophysics, and that allowed them to understand the morphology of the ancient basin.

They identified the keel of the basin — like the keel of a boat — the area where perhaps the brine is best collected, so I looked at Railroad Valley in the same fashion and I saw this large gravity low, and it was

highlighted by strong geochemical results.”

The geologist notes that sampling dry sediment in the basin has returned lithium values ranging from 50 ppm to 247 ppm, and that the higher lithium values concentrated almost entirely over a 64 by 26 km section that contains the WNB project.

“It doesn’t take a genius to identify this as a very good lithium exploration target,” he says. “The valley was known to contain a 550 sq. km lake that subsequently evaporated over the Pleistocene epoch. Thus we know that it is truly a closed basin, with fairly high evaporation rates, and it’s got positive lithium geochemistry.”

The geology, meanwhile, was similar to that of Clayton Valley and to basins in Argentina and Chile, where fairly young volcanic tuffs and flows are thought to be the source of the lithium. “The geothermally circulating water — or water that has come down from the mountains and into these basins — has, over time, leached the lithium out of the volcanics, which is now trapped in the basin.”

While the southwestern U.S. has a lot of characteristics in common with the large areas of lithium brine in South America, the U.S. has much better transportation, skilled labour and electrical grid infrastructure, Alford points out.

Oroplata says its planned drilling program will be optimized both in technology and location, so as to best test the brine horizons and examine the basin’s overall reservoir potential. Geophysics will also look into the lateral extent of the brine horizons. The program would be designed to produce a resource and advance economic analysis by testing brine flow rates.

Alford says he’d like to try some of the drilling technology he has seen in the oil industry, where he worked for a time. “I was doing wells where I would go down vertically a kilometre and a half and horizontal for 3 km — it blew my mind that this technology existed, because we have little of that in the hard-rock industry,” he says. “It might be a waste of time to do aircore rotary drilling, or even diamond drilling, because what you end up with is a small-diameter hole … if you’ve got a brine horizon that you can pump out, you’re going to want a large-diameter hole … the best way is to employ drilling technology of the oil industry, because your deposit is a salty well — called a “brine” — and the most efficient way of getting it out is through a larger-diameter well.”

As an example, he says, if you have a 20- to 30-metre brine horizon that extends for a strike length of a few kilometres and you put in a horizontal well, you could use it

for many years. Alford says that “the flow rate is going to define the economics of a project.

“Our drill program is not yet finalized, but we want to employ the best technology, not just for drilling, but also for production,” he says. “I’ve had discussions with some of the industry professionals out there, and everyone is sort of learning as they go. I’ve talked to some people who have done auger sampling, diamond drilling, air rotary water core — so there are many different methods being deployed.”

Lithium could drive a whole new industry in North America — which has lagged other parts of the world, he says. Australia, Chile, Argentina, Zimbabwe, Portugal and Brazil were the largest lithium producers between 2010 and 2015, according to Statista, a company based in Hamburg, Germany, that tracks statistics online.

“The space is maturing … it’s kind of like a new gold rush,” Alford says.

Elon Musk has said that Tesla would need to consume the entire lithium market to meet its demands of 500,000 Model 3s by 2018, he adds, and Chinese demand for lithium has been another factor behind the surge in the lithium market, driven by the country’s desire for electric cars and buses to cut down on pollution.

(In the year’s first quarter, lithium carbonate prices were up 47% from the average price in 2015, Oroplata states in a news release.)

“China is even thinking about enacting California-style legislation to promote zero-emission vehicles,” Alford says. “I was in Beijing in the summer of 2015, and there were smoggy days when the pollution index hit 750, which is essentially not compatible with human life,

and you couldn’t even see across the street for the smog … when I was landing at the airport I couldn’t see the tarmac until I was 50 metres above it.”

And while most of his career has focused on base metals and gold (he has evaluated projects for Teck Resources, Zijin Mining and China Railway, among others) — and has worked in South America, Africa and the former Soviet Republics — lithium is a breath of fresh air for Alford.

“I love gold, but it’s really annoying to be a victim of the price cycle, because often gold gets moved by knee-jerk reactions in the marketplace, like Brexit, or suddenly the Chinese economy doesn’t look good, so the price of gold gets jerked around. Lithium is sort of out of the cycle — we see it’s in demand that isn’t going to slow down, especially over the next decade. It’s really nice to be involved with a commodity that we don’t see yet to be a victim of external circumstances, like the ups and downs in Europe or Asia. We see a steady build for the electric vehicle market.”

With lithium, Alford can also think big.

“I was just driving around California last week and I saw a number of Tesla vehicles,” he says. “It is quite stunning to be behind a car in traffic with no exhaust pipe … all you have to do is daydream of a world using electric vehicles and all kinds of possibilities occur — ‘gas stations’ that just swap out your battery … solar photoelectric paint jobs that could recharge your batteries as you park or drive. For a lot of us this seems like a pretty appealing world.” TNM

| Komatsu and Caterpillar set to dominate global mining equipment business

J

ust in time to create even more excitement at the massive, once-every-four-years MINExpo International convention in Las Vegas in September, Tokyo-based manufacturing giant Komatsu has struck a friendly, blockbuster deal to acquire storied Milwaukee-based underground mining equipment manufacturer Joy Global for

BY JOHN CUMMING US$2.9 billion in cash, plus the assumption of jcumming@northernminer.com US$800 million in debt.

By this time next year, Komatsu and its larger U.S. rival Caterpillar will control at least a quarter of the global mining equipment business, valued at US$50 billion annually.

In explaining its bid for Joy Global, Komatsu argues that the beatendown mining equipment business will continue to be depressed in the near-term, but will pick up considerably in 2019 and beyond, “driven by population growth and rapid urbanization around the world.”

There’s plenty of corporate history in this deal.

As a manufacturer of all kinds of heavy and industrial equipment, Komatsu has engaged in mining equipment manufacturing since the company was founded in 1921, but stepped things up in the 1990s by buying several mining equipment and distribution businesses in major mining regions worldwide.

Today, Komatsu generates annual revenue of US$4.3 billion from its mining equipment business, but this is only from surface mining equipment, and doesn’t include “super large-sized” loading equipment for surface mining.

Joy Global’s history stretches back even further, with its core P&H business having been founded in 1884 by Alonzo Pawling and Henry Harnischfeger in Milwaukee, Wis., leading in the 1890s to a product line that included earth-moving machines for construction and mining operations. In 1919, Joseph Joy founded Joy Machine Co. in Evansville, Ind., and soon developed the first mechanical loader: model 4BU. The year 2012 was a milestone, with P&H Mining Equipment and Joy Mining Machinery becoming Joy Global. The surface equipment would be branded P&H and the underground equipment, Joy. Looking ahead at the coming boom in terms of mining techniques, Komatsu says, the “economic rationale will call for use of larger equipment in surface mining as well as further development of underground mining.”

With Joy Global, Komatsu gets a company that is focused on underground mining equipment manufacturing and servicing, plus material handling, with annual revenues of US$3.2 billion through its premium brands of P&H, Joy and Montabert.

After so many years, Komatsu will finally become a meaningful participant in underground mining globally.

At the same time, Joy Global’s lineup of surface mining equipment includes rope shovels, super large wheel loaders, draglines and drills that Komatsu does not offer. Komatsu says Joy Global’s lineup of rope shovels and super large wheel loaders “pair well” with the super large electric dump truck Komatsu makes, and will “generate synergies in sales and services.”

Komatsu expects to close the acquisition by April 2017, assuming no rival bid appears. If they give their approval in a vote, Joy Global stockholders would receive US$28.30 per share in cash, or a 20% premium to the share price a day before the offer.

Komatsu says it will operate Joy Global with its 12,000 employees as a separate, wholly owned subsidiary, and will keep the iconic Joy Global brand names.

The two companies’ product lines will integrate well, Komatsu says, “expanding options for customers worldwide, as Komatsu can now offer the underground mining equipment and super large-sized loading equipment of which Joy Global is a leading provider.”

Joy Global’s board of directors, which has unanimously approved the deal, said that in making its determination, it “considered the challenging market conditions the company believes are likely to persist. The mining industry continues to face cyclical headwinds from oversupplied commodities and lower end-user demand resulting in cash-flow restrictions for most producers, creating an increasingly challenging environment. We are also seeing structural changes in the U.S. and China coal industry.” (More than half Joy Global’s sales come from the ailing coal sector.)

Komatsu’s offer — the largest in its history — is not subject to any financing conditions, and the company had total assets of US$25 billion and total equity of US$14 billion as of March 31, 2016, with an “A” credit rating from S&P, and “A2” from Moody’s.

The last notable M&A among mining equipment manufacturers was Caterpillar’s purchase of rival Bucyrus International in 2011 for US$8 billion, during the height of the last commodity boom. TNM

The current system has placed U.S. mining companies at a severe competitive disadvantage in the global marketplace, as compared to their peers in other countries including Canada, Australia, South Africa, the European Union, Chile, Hong Kong and Russia, where regulators have adopted the global standards established by the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting (CRIRSCO). Under the CRIRSCO global standards, mining companies can report their proven and probable “reserves” in addition to reporting on the broader category of mineral “resources” and material exploration results.

Reserves are generally defined as those mineral deposits that the company knows can be “economically and legally extracted or produced,” which must be based on a “bankable” or “final” feasibility study performed on the deposit.

Such final feasibility studies require multiple years and multiple millions of dollars to complete.

Mineral resources are a more broad category of mineral property that include mineral deposits that have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction, but which may not be at the highest confidence level required to be categorized as a reserve, because no such final feasibility study has been performed on the deposit.

For mining companies and their investors, mineral resources represent an important measure of the long-term prospects and viability of the deposit, and the company as a whole. Contrary to the CRIRSCO standard, Guide 7 generally limits U.S. mining companies from informing its investors and the public about its mineral resources in the same terms as it describes its reserves, thus artificially depriving these companies from describing the prospectivity of its properties.

There is no doubt that the outdated regulations have dissuaded

only have an advantage in being able to use the modern reporting standards outside the U.S., they also can adopt those same modern (and broader) mineral reporting standards in their U.S. filings with the SEC, while their U.S. counterparts have been forced to exclude resources from their U.S. filings.

To add to the confusion, the SEC has had a practice of allowing U.S. companies to disclose resources and material exploration results on their websites, but not in their quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC, thus creating contradictory statements between company websites and their public filings.

A simple comparison of Newmont’s reserves and resource reporting is illustrative. In its 2015 annual report, Newmont reported 73.7 million oz. of proven and probable gold reserves as of Dec. 31, 2015. Separately, at the same date Newmont reported “gold mineralized material of 2,192 million tons at an average grade of .017 oz. per ton.” This “mineralized material” essentially includes mineral resources that cannot be reported as such. Note that Newmont cannot report the mineralized material in terms of ounces of contained gold, as they do with reserves. This requires that the reader multiply the number of tons by the grade per ton (which Newmont cannot do in its reporting), resulting in another 37.2 million oz., or approximately one-third of the total mineral resource that Newmont owns, which it cannot report as such.

After decades under the old regime, Newmont and its peers can look forward to a new regulatory environment on the horizon.

On June 16, 2016, the SEC issued a 296-page proposed rulemaking, wherein it proposes to rescind Guide 7 and replace it with a new subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. See SEC / 5

Asanko fires back after allegations from K2 Investment GHANAIAN GOLD

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

sanko Gold (TSX: AKG; NYSE-MKT: AKG) has reported its inaugural production quarter at its Asanko gold mine in Ghana, but it is also busy countering criticism about its technical reporting from Toronto-based hedge fund K2 & Associates Investment Management.

Asanko hit commercial production at its namesake operation in early April after completing the US$295-million development ahead of schedule. Asanko’s first phase of mining will focus on the Obotan project, which includes the Nkran pit and four satellite deposits.

This first phase of production is expected to total 2.34 million oz. over a 12.4-year mine life based on reserves of 2.5 million oz. gold hosted within 36.7 million tonnes grading 2.15 grams gold per tonne.

Asanko is scheduled to produce 190,000 oz. gold annually.

The trouble with K2 emerged in late June when the hedge fund published an unsolicited, 42-page

| New Asanko mine could produce 2.3M oz. gold over 12 years

ASANKO SAYS THAT K2 HAS BEEN SHORT SELLING STOCK AND THAT ITS NEGATIVE REPORT WAS LIKELY INTENDED TO TEMPORARILY DRIVE DOWN ASANKO’S SHARE PRICE. report that claims Asanko’s stock could be overvalued by as much as 90%, based on net asset value calculations. The investment critique was based on historic technical information (not compliant with National Instrument 43-101 standards) and a feasibility study Asanko released in early 2014.

K2 has cited inconsistencies in resource reporting between Asanko’s figures and data published by the previous mine operator, Resolute Mining. The report notes that current Nkran resource estimates contain six times more gold ounces than previous resources released before Resolute “forfeited” the asset. K2 also noted that Resolute claimed ore zones at Nkran become “thinner and more discontinuous” at depth, while Asanko has said the opposite.

Asanko has defended the phase-

one mine plan, resource estimation and its 2016 production guidance.

The company noted that K2 has relied on “anonymous authors” whose credentials have not been disclosed and reiterated that an independent review was conducted by Red Kite Mine Finance before it extended a US$150-million loan in 2014.

Asanko added that it has completed 34,000 metres of drilling below Resolute’s “old floor” at the Nkran open pit.

“K2 omits to mention that in comparing [our 2014 resource estimate] with an estimate developed 17 years ago by a former owner, Resolute, there has been a substantial increase in information gathered from subsequent drilling at depth,” Asanko said. “This information, which wasn’t available to Resolute, clearly contradicts prior assump-

New SEC reporting rules SEC From 4

Once finalized, the new regulations are intended to modernize the reporting regulations governing U.S.-based public mining companies and include the following significant changes: • R eplace Item 102 and Guide 7 with a single standard requiring companies to disclose all material mining operations; • Require companies to disclose mineral resources and material exploration results in addition to its reserves; • Permit disclosure of mineral reserves to be based on either a preliminary or final feasibility study; • P rovide updated definitions of mineral reserves and mineral resources; • R equire disclosure for mining operations as a whole and more

detailed disclosure for individual properties; • Require that all such mineral reporting be based on, and accurately reflect information and supporting documentation prepared by a qualified person (QP); and • Require companies to obtain a technical report summary from the QP summarizing for each material property exploration results, mineral resources or mineral reserves.

Although the proposed regulations are extensive and may impose an increased administrative burden on U.S. mining companies by requiring their technical and legal staffs to interpret and comply with a lengthy and entirely new reporting regime, it is likely that the regulations will be well received, as they are intended to provide investors and the public with more comprehensive information in better alignment

with global industry standards. For that reason, although the proposed regulations would benefit from simplification in several aspects, reforming Guide 7 demonstrates a substantial step in supporting the U.S. mining industry in the U.S. and placing U.S. mining companies on a more level playing field with non-U.S. mining companies.

Comments to the proposed rulemaking are due to the SEC by Aug. 26, 2016.

tions that the Nkran deposit was becoming thinner and more discontinuous at depth.”

Asanko also notes that K2 has been “short selling” stock, and that its negative report was likely intended to temporarily drive down Asanko’s share price.

This short position is no secret.

The K2 report includes the following line: “Disclosure: K2 & Associates has a short position in the shares of Asanko Gold.”

Meanwhile, Asanko released its quarterly results on July 20 and reiterated production guidance that calls for between 90,000 and 100,000 oz. gold during the second half of the year. The company produced 36,000 oz. during the reporting period, and said it had 7,833 oz. gold doré in inventory at a US$10.2-million market value.

“In the last few weeks of June, as anticipated, we encountered the main ore zone and have seen dilution and ore losses drop to a more normal level resulting in higher feed grades to the processing plant,” president and CEO Peter Breese said during a conference call.

“Our mining efficiency is showing

signs of improvement as a result of receiving part of the new contractor fleet during the quarter to replace the second-hand fleet we started the pre-strip with back in early 2015,” he added.

Canaccord Genuity analyst Rahul Paul suggested that the quarterly performance indicates that Asanko’s resource model is “performing well,” with head grades and recoveries beating his estimates.

“Preliminary reconciliation data for [the quarter] suggests that the grade control model is reconciling positively with the block model,” Paul wrote on July 20.

Canaccord has a “speculative buy” rating on Asanko, along with a $6.75-per-share price target. Paul also noted “significant recent insider buying” by Breese and chairman Colin Steyn.

Asanko shares have traded in a 52-week range of $1.77 to $5.89 per share, and closed at $4.85 per share at press time. The company has 197 million shares outstanding for a $974-million market capitalization, and reported US$44 million in cash and working capital balances at the end of June. TNM

On the economic front, Canada reported its inflation rate in June rose 1.5% year-on-year.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 1.6% to 14,600.66 and the S&P/TSX Capped Diversified Metals & Mining Index dropped 2% to finish at 632.72. The S&P/TSX Global Mining Index lost 2.4% to 64.85, the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index ended 1.9% lower at 261.62 and the spot gold price declined 1.1%, or US$15 per oz., to US$1,322.10 per oz.

Shares of Dominion Diamond rose 38¢ to $11.70. The company reported that the A-21 pipe in the Northwest Territories is developing according to plan, and that it expects run-of-mine production in 2016 will total 7.1 million carats from 2.2 million tonnes mined. In addition to the 7.1 million carats produced from run of mine ore, there will be a small amount of production from coarse ore rejects, Dominion said. In the second quarter, volumes (0.54 million tonnes processed) were 5% lower than in the same quarter the year before due to lower ore availability. Diamonds

recovered in the quarter (1.58 million carats) were 26% lower than in the same quarter of the previous year, due to lower processing volumes and lower recovered grades.

Lucara Diamond finished 28¢ higher at $3.77 per share after announcing a special dividend. The board approved $172 million returned to shareholders in a special dividend of 45¢ per share to holders of the company’s common shares. The special dividend will be paid in addition to the company’s existing 2016 quarterly dividend of 2¢ per share.

The total dividend of 47¢ per share will be paid on Sept. 15. Elsewhere in the diamond space, Mountain Province Diamonds’ shares climbed 15¢ to $6.25.

Lupaka’s Invicta to hit commercial production in November PERU DEVELOPMENT

BY TRISH SAYWELL

L

tsaywell@northernminer.com

upaka Gold (TSXV: LPK) says a recent US$6.1-million gold purchase agreement with New York-based Pandion Mine Finance will get the construction of its Invicta polymetallic mine in Peru across the finish line.

The proceeds — paid out in two tranches of US$1.8 million and US$4.3 million — would be enough to develop a mine, upgrade safety and efficiency, build access roads and start mining operations.

Lupaka Gold’s president and CEO Gordon Ellis tells The Northern Miner that contractors will be used in all aspects of the mining operation, and that the company should reach commercial production in November.

The junior intends to ramp up operations to 350 tonnes per day as quickly as possible. “ There’s no reason why we shouldn’t run at 350 tonnes per day by the time we start 2017,” he says in a telephone interview from his Vancouver office.

The prepaid forward gold purchase deal with Pandion announced at the end of June is an attractive way to finance Lupaka’s Peruvian project, Ellis says, not only because it is non-dilutive to shareholders, but because it has a fixed end-date.

“This is not a royalty agreement that goes on forever,” he says. “We don’t pay anything for the first 15 months and we only pay them a small percent of what we produce for the next 45 months, and we’re done. It’s gone, it’s clean, there is no residual.”

Ellis adds that Pandion is interested in putting up the funds needed to acquire or build a processing plant, and Lupaka is weighing the options.

“Pandion doesn’t really want to do just the US$6-million financing — they want to finance us for the plant and anything else we want to do,” he says, noting that the outfit has an excellent pedigree in the commodities sector.

The New York-headquartered group is made up of Pandion Management (the former leaders of Jeffries LLC metals finance business); MKS PAMP Group, a global precious metals and financial services company based in Switzerland; and Ospraie Management, an asset management firm focused on commodities that has seeded more than 20 funds and directly invested more than US$1.5 billion in privately held metals and mining companies.

MKS Pamp is one of the world’s largest buyers of concentrate, Ellis says (“they don’t own mines, they just trade in minerals”), and Ospraie “has been in mining for a long time.”

He says that “this is Pandion’s first deal, so that’s why you probably don’t know an awful lot about them. It was set up in the last quarter of last year … they’ve formed this organization to vet projects and invest in them.”

One of Lupaka’s first tasks, once Invicta is up and running, will be to assess the best way forward in terms of incorporating a processing plant.

“There are two plants within 100 km being built that are fully permitted for 350 tonnes per day, and they haven’t got supplies of ore — they’re building them on spec,” he says.

“The first one, we could buy the whole plant for a really low cost because the owners have gotten into a fight and want to sell … the alternative is to build a plant from scratch, which would take longer.

But the joy of that would be to allow us to build it closer to the site, which would also reduce shipping costs, and we’re permitted for 1,000 tonnes per day.”

Lupaka picked up the Invicta project through its October 2012 acquisition of Andean American Gold. The project, 120 km from Lima, had been explored and developed by several previous owners since the mid-1990s. Lupaka estimates that previous owners poured more than $15 million into mine development.

The company completed its second run-of-mine bulk test in December and achieved good recoveries in concentrate streams — returning 87.5% gold, 91.2% silver, 91.5% copper, 90.03% lead and 90.1% zinc. “The recoveries we got were good, and they’re just first-time recoveries — they haven’t been optimized by any means.”

The first bulk sample in October 2015 produced a copper, lead and zinc concentrate that was sold to an off-taker, and “we actually made money,” Ellis says. “In the second one, the buyer said he just wanted a copper concentrate, so we put the whole thing through as a copper concentrate, and once again the recoveries were high.

“The nicest thing about it is that the concentrate is exceptionally clean, it has little in the way of contaminants, so buyers can pay well for it because they can mix it with some of their less clean concentrate

and blend it,” he continues. “They can make use of some of the other stuff they get from other suppliers, so it’s attractive to off-takers.”

The second bulk test consisted of run-of-mine material from the Atenea vein. The sample was blended from 80% run-of-mine material and 20% from a low-grade stockpile after developing existing workings.

Cash flow from Invicta will be used to grow the operation. There are numerous zones outside of the Atenea vein that contain mineralization, and the targeted Atenea resource could increase, as development offers access to high-grade intercepts and underground drill sites. In addition, based on gold and copper within the under-explored quartz-sulphide vein zones, the company says Invicta could expand.

An initial six-year mine plan (which sets out the block mine plan for 680,000 tonnes at a grade of 8.83 grams equivalent oz. gold

Mineralization in the Atenea vein at Lupaka Gold’s Invicta project in Peru. LUPAKA GOLD

per tonne for just over 30,000 oz. a year) was developed from the 3,400-metre level and up, Ellis says. “Drill results indicate that the mineralization extends at least as far below the 3,400 level as it does above. In addition, there is a welldefined section of measured and indicated directly along strike to the northeast that is within a few hundred metres, and of the same

characteristics as the segment in the mine plan.”

At 350 tonnes per day, he adds, Invicta could operate for between 10 and 15 years based on the current measured and indicated resource in the Atenea zone.

Proceeds from Invicta will also be used for more exploration at its other projects in Peru — Josnitaro and Crucero. TNM

Colombian Mines’ Nevada acquisition sends shares soaring

A loader dumps material near the portal at Colombian Mines’ Pamlico gold project in Nevada. COLOMBIAN MINES

“IT’S NOT QUITE LIKE FINDING GOLD BARS ON THE GROUND, BUT IT’S PRETTY DARN CLOSE. YOU CAN WALK DOWN THE DECLINE AND SEE VISIBLE GOLD — IT’S PRETTY DIFFICULT TO FIND THOSE KINDS OF PROJECTS IN NEVADA TODAY.”

COLOMBIAN From 1

ingly, comes from the University of Nevada’s Mackay School of Mines, in Reno.

So it’s no wonder that the cofounder, president and CEO of Colombian Mines (TSXV: CMJ; US-OTC: CMBPF) — a prospect generator he co-founded in the South American country in 2006, and took public in 2008 — has always kept his eye out for interesting properties back home.

This year the stars aligned and Carrington closed Colombian’s first deal in Nevada — an option agreement with a private party for Pamlico, a gold project in the famous Walker Lane trend, 20 km southeast of Hawthorne and 86 km from Yerington, a district known for at least four copper porphyry deposits.

“The private seller was a friend of my father’s, and an old classmate of mine from university was one of the seller’s consultants,” Carrington says. “His lifelong dream was to turn it into a gold-producing property.

He poured US$3 million into it and did a 650-metre decline — almost to the ore zone — and then his health started failing.”

Under the new option agreement, Colombian can acquire 100% of Pamlico for US$4 million in cash, including advance minimum royalties and production royalties (a 4% net smelter return royalty [NSR]) within four years, or by paying US$7.5 million in cash, including advance minimum royalties and production royalties, so long as annual payments are equal to or exceed US$250,000. The 4% NSR can be brought down to 1% by paying the seller US$1 million for each percentage point.

In addition to the 29 historic holes drilled by the seller between 2010 and 2013, two previous owners of the property completed 74 holes, bringing the total to 103 for 8,900 metres. Highlights of the seller’s drill holes included 6 metres grading 33.49 grams gold per tonne; 2.3 metres of 165.49 grams gold; 3 metres of 21.28 grams; 5.3 metres of 36.85 grams; and 7.6 metres of 21.76 grams.

“Pamlico is the rare situation where it’s not quite like finding gold bars on the ground, but it’s pretty darn close,” Carrington says. “The fact that you can walk down the decline and see visible gold — it’s pretty difficult to find those projects in Nevada today, particularly with the exploration upside that this project has.”

One of the interesting things, he adds, is that the vendor discovered two gold-bearing zones as he drove the decline, and neither of them were intersected in previous drilling, “so there are additional gold-bearing

structures in there that could potentially be economic.”

The zones contain coarse visible gold in brecciated vein material with abundant iron oxides, and will be a priority for independent sampling. “Neither of the two zones discovered in the decline had been found with drilling, so there is a lot of potential for more discoveries on the property,” he says.

The volcanic rocks at Pamlico are juxtaposed against sedimentary rocks in complex structural settings, with numerous low-angle and high-angle faults mapped on the property. A series of highangle faults host the majority of the better gold mineralization identified so far.

The property hasn’t seen any deep drilling and the vertical extent of oxidation is unknown, although Carrington and his team say that a nearby water well suggests that favourable oxidized mineralization could extend at least 244 metres below surface.

“Pamlico is known as a high-grade district, and around 1886 there were newspaper stories of Pamlico producing ore that ran over 4,000 grams gold a tonne,” Carrington says. “It wasn’t huge tonnage, but at those kinds of grades, it doesn’t take a lot of tonnes.”

Carrington says there are two semi-parallel veins at the project that dip towards each other at a steep angle and both veins are known to contain high-grade gold, and should intersect at depth.

In the bigger picture, he says, “a lot of mineralization that you see in the Pamlico district indicates a porphyry system at depth,” and “there’s a very good possibility that there is a gold or copper porphyry on the property.

“Pamlico is to the southeast along strike of Walker Lane and Walker Lane is a large structural lineament — it’s actually a structural corridor,” he says. “It’s several miles wide, and depending on how far you want to push it, there are some workers in the industry who feel Walker Lane extends from Texas into northern California and Oregon. It is certainly one of Nevada’s largest gold lineaments, and almost by default one of the world’s largest.”

The next steps for Colombian

Mines are to do large-diameter core drilling, basic engineering (“to make sure the decline is where it needs to be relative to the orebody”) and a bulk sample. The seller was about to start a fully permitted, 1,000-tonne bulk sample, before his health deteriorated and permitting bogged him down. If all goes according to plan, a bulk sample could start later this year. (Carrington says that “we need to make sure the permits are spot perfect.”)

A drill program could be partly funded by selling one of the company’s non-core assets in Colombia — Anori. The sale is in the works already and should bring in US$800,000. “That wouldn’t necessarily be enough to complete a diamond drill program,” Carrington says, “but it would be a big chunk of it, because the holes are only going to be between 80 metres and 90 metres deep.”

Meanwhile in Colombia — “in a perfect world and assuming we have sufficient financing this year” — the company will initiate a drill campaign at its Mercedes goldsilver-copper project, undertake more drilling at its El Dovio goldsilver-copper project and complete a resource estimate and a preliminary economic assessment of its Yarumalito gold-copper project.

“We’re no less committed to advancing the Colombia projects,” he says. “It was just that Pamlico was something that — assuming we complete all the regulatory acrobatics we have to do — we can potentially see production there in a relatively short time line, much faster than you would reasonably expect to build El Dovio or Mercedes.”

Carrington has worked in Colombia since 1992.

“I had a geologist working for my consulting company who got me interested, so we formed a private company that I funded, and we charged off into Colombia,” Carrington recalls.

“We were working on a 2 million oz. placer project he had the data for, and the last time we saw the property, the pilot was yanking up on the controls and saying: ‘They’re shooting at us’ … living proof that God takes care of fools and idiots.”

By that point, Carrington says, he had figured out that the country’s

geological potential was immense and under-explored, so he looked for large lode projects in safer areas.

A joint venture with Placer Dome lasted until 1995, when it cut back globally on exploration. His partner then dropped out, and Carrington sold the company later that year to what became Conquistador Mines, a Vancouver-based junior.

“Conquistador went from 30¢ to over $9 on the Colombian assets they acquired,” says Carrington, who stayed on as a manager until 1996.

Conquistador joint-ventured with AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) and Mineros de Antioquia (now Mineros), Colombia’s largest gold producer.

“In 2000, when gold hit its low,

Anglo pulled the plug on the joint venture and Conquistador evaporated in a puff of smoke,” Carrington remembers. Anglo stuck around, however, and by 2006 had made discoveries at La Colosa, Gramalote, Quinchia and La Mina, some of which Carrington claims had been Conquistador properties.

“The only one they could not get was Yarumalito,” he adds. “I actually started negotiating for the Yarumalito property in November 2005, as we knew we were going to put a company together … Yarumalito was Colombian Mines’ first acquisition in Colombia, and is still considered a core asset.”

Yarumalito may be one of the company’s core assets, but the market cheered its Pamlico option deal announced on July 19, driving up its shares 57% to 22¢.

The company’s 53 million common shares are tightly held, with the 17 largest shareholders owning 70% of the stock.

Its institutional investors include European funds, and its largest corporate shareholder is Teck Resources (TSX: TCK.B; NYSE: TCK), which Carrington says holds 2.2 million shares. TNM

Argonaut misses on Q2 production MEXICAN GOLD

| Analysts downgrade stock ratings and price targets after run-up

BY SALMA TARIKH starikh@northernminer.com

A

rgonaut Gold (TSX: AR) has revised its full-year production guidance after missing its second-quarter output goal, and gold analysts have responded by lowering their expectations on the stock.

On July 14, the miner reported delivering 29,237 equivalent oz. gold during the second quarter.

This came below the expected 34,500 to 36,500 equivalent oz. gold.

Argonaut attributes the miss to lower grades at its Mexican mines: El Castillo in Durango and La Colorada in Sonora. It says it discovered more lowergrade areas, which delayed it from

ARGONAUT ATTRIBUTES THE MISS TO LOWERTHAN-ANTICIPATED GRADES AT ITS MEXICAN MINES: EL CASTILLO AND LA COLORADA. mining higher-grade areas at both operations.

Quarterly gold-equivalent production dropped 38% to 15,358 oz. at El Castillo, and fell 7% to 13,819 oz. at La Colorada, despite the mining of higher gold grades than the same period last year.

Desjardins analyst Michael Parkin says the higher gold grade at El Castillo came from more highgrade sulphide and transitional ore.

These ores have a lower recovery rate compared to oxide ore, which contributed to the weak quarterly output. (The mine reported a gold grade of 0.41 gram per tonne, up from last year’s 0.31 gram.)

To boost throughput at El Castillo, Argonaut has relocated an idle crusher from La Colorada to El Castillo, with commissioning expected in August, Mackie Research analyst Ryan Hanley writes.

This should increase El Castillo’s crushing capacity to 6,000 tonnes per day from 5,000 tonnes per day. Argonaut says the higher crushing capacity, coupled with mining higher grades, should set El Castillo up for a stronger second half this year.

But Hanley is skeptical, based on the operation’s prior performance.

He notes that given the company ended June with US$54.1 million in cash, it should have enough f unds to cover Sa n Ag ustin’s US$42.6-million start-up costs.

In the third quarter Argonaut expects to receive a permitting decision for the project, which sits 10 km from the El Castillo mine.

After a soft second quarter, Argonaut has tightened its 2016 goldequivalent production to 130,000 to 135,000 oz., from 130,000 to 140,000 oz. previously.

Hanley has downgraded his “hold” rating on the stock to “sell,” with a $3 target. He says that since the stock’s recent price run-up, it has traded above its peer group average on a price to net asset value basis.

He points out that El Castillo has a short mine life, and most cash the company has will help build San Agustin.

BMO analyst Brian Quast writes that “given the strong run-up and therefore shrinking return to our target price, we are downgrading AR to ‘market perform’ from ‘outperform,’ and keeping our $4.75 target price.”

Desjardins’ Parkin has trimmed his $4.40 target to $4 per share, reiterating a “hold-speculative” rating.

The stock closed July 18 at $3.63, up 198%, or $2.41, year-to-date.

Argonaut will release its secondquarter financials on Aug. 11. TNM

Klondike Gold’s quest for the motherlode in the Yukon EXPLORATION

| Klondike hits 5.1 grams gold per tonne over 14.3 metres outside Dawson City, Yukon

BY LESLEY STOKES

K

lstokes@northernminer.com DAWSON CITY, YUKON

londike Gold’s (TSXV: KG) president and CEO Peter Tallman reckons his company may have found the motherlode just 20 km south of the prolific Klondike goldfields, outside Yukon’s historic Dawson City, where past production yielded over 20 million oz. of placer gold.

The company has been drilling at its 138 sq. km Lone Star property since May, where a recent hole into the Nugget zone returned 5.1 grams gold per tonne over 14.3 metres in quartz veins hosted within mafic schists — the same rocks that flank the once bustling, placer mining town.

The Northern Miner caught up with Tallman at the company’s core shack outside Dawson to look at the rocks and discuss why he’s convinced he knows where the gold is.

“In 2014, I was looking at the regional geophysical map from the Yukon Geological Survey, and there’s an obvious fault system that cuts the Klondike schist within the goldfields,” he says. “There are a whole series of horsetail fractures that extend into Eldorado creek, the richest portion of the goldfields, and I thought, ‘well, that has to be the source of the Klondike, that’s what brought the gold.’”

Tallman laid the data alongside placer claims and found a pattern between mining and where the prospective faults crosscut the valleys.

“There are so many instances where these faults cut a creek, and downstream there are productive placer claims, whereas upstream there’s nothing … that’s a demonstrable source of Klondike gold right there,” he says. “And those structures intercept our entire property, so the question we have right now is: Where can we go in the geology to find something of economic size?”

Peter Tallman, president and CEO of Klondike Gold, at the company’s core shack outside Dawson City, Yukon.

“Giustra asked me to look at the property and more or less give him an indication of what kind of potential was still there,” he says.

“My answer to him was that there’s huge potential. The Yukon was the flavour of the day when Underworld Resources discovered the Golden Saddle deposit and Kinross Gold took over … the project has been orphaned in the middle of nowhere, but if it had been found on the outskirts of Dawson, on a road with power, it would’ve already been mined.”

Golden Saddle has an inferred resource of 9.8 million tonnes of 2.67 grams gold for 840,000 oz. gold.

In his first year, Tallman settled the company’s debts, disposed of its non-core assets, consolidated 100% ownership of key claims and rolled back the stock.

Under the new management, Klondike conducted its first pass on drilling at Nugget last year, targeting surface mineralization in chip samples, which returned up to 8 grams gold over 4.3 metres,

“IF GOLDEN SADDLE HAD BEEN FOUND ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF DAWSON, ON A ROAD WITH POWER, IT WOULD’VE ALREADY BEEN MINED.” PETER TALLMAN PRESIDENT AND CEO, KLONDIKE GOLD

Tallman says Klondike is the first company to fully assess the Nugget zone target, where mineralization occurs within two zones of parallel, east-trending quartz veins that average 5 metres wide.

Bulldozer trenching in the early 1990s and in 2005 uncovered the veins, but follow-up drilling in three holes in 2007 by Klondike, under former management, missed the target because they were drilled parallel to mineralization.

“They were basically drilling down the snout of these quartz vein systems, so they never found any continuity to the mineralization, nor could they figure out the geology,” he says. “If this was Timmins, and there’s an outcrop with visible gold, there would have been 20 drill holes plugged into it at least, and there’s hardly any work done here.”

Tallman stepped in as the company’s president and CEO in 2014, handpicked by Vancouver-based financier Frank Giustra, who has a 20% stake in the company.

1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16_Aug1_Main .indd 16

and 13 other samples that ranged between 5 and 30.5 grams gold.

The 400-metre, six-hole program intercepted two east-trending veins over a 100-metre strike length, which returned true thickness intervals of 7.7 metres of 4.6 grams gold, 6.1 metres of 5.3 grams gold and 3 metres of 5.7 grams gold.

The current program is working to extend the mineralization and test targets at depth and along strike, by drilling 11 holes totalling 1,000 metres. The latest drill results have doubled the mineralization strike to 200 metres, and Tallman says mineralization appears to gain strength to the east.

“The veins are separated by 10 metres of intervening material, but the easternmost holes show that the two zones have coalesced, and the entire interval is mineralized,” he says. “It’s not about individual veins, but it’s the volume of veins that makes it. So what we’re looking for are cases where lots of veins were generated and what kind of

geological controls they have, so we can fine-tune our targeting criteria in future programs.”

The veins occur in the hanging wall of a fault plugged with young mafic dykes, which Tallman predicts may link up with a larger structure 200 metres east that falls in line with nearby productive placer creeks.

He notes there are two placer gold sources in the Klondike, and refers to the goldfields as “the largest, unexplained geochemical gold anomaly on the planet.”

The first source resulted from an event that occurred 3.5 million years ago, when a glacial lobe — which had blocked off the Yukon River farther south and created a “bathtub” of water over the Klondike — catastrophically broke.

“The Yukon River was flowing into B.C., but the dam created by the glacier undercut the river, so when it broke it was like pulling the plug on a bathtub, and it all turned around and flushed out to Alaska,” he says. “The water eroded away the soft mica in the schists and left behind the heavier material like the gold and quartz, which are the white channel gravels mined all around the Klondike.”

Since then, he says, the neighbouring creeks have cut away the bedrock and redeposited the gold farther downstream, making the second source of placer gold in the region.

“The white channel gravel came locally from the schists, it’s basically a big bulk sample of the whole area,” he says. “But the gold in individual creeks, particularly up Eldorado, directly comes from bedrock sources, and those we can trace.”

Tallman adds that studies out of the University of British Columbia suggest the white channel gravels represent an erosional surface up to 500 metres thick. He says the figure may be more like 200 metres, but this impact means less in the bigger picture.

“If there’s an orogenic vein system — which we know can extend to 7 km and more in the vertical — then we know there’s an immense amount of gold still trapped in the rocks somewhere. All I want to do is find at least a million ounces herded up in the corner somewhere, and the odds of that here are really good.”

Klondike has traded within a 52week range of 8¢ to 42¢ per share, and closed at 32¢ per share at press time. The company has 46 million shares outstanding for a $14.7-million market capitalization. TNM
