keena Resources (TSXV: SKE) has spent the past two years building a portfolio of highgrade, precious metal projects in northwestern B.C.’s Golden Triangle region, and now the junior company — chaired by famed explorer Ron Netolitsky — is adding another.

The company is acquiring private company Mount Rainey Silver for its Porter Idaho silver property, 2 km south of Stewart, B.C., in exchange for 25.1 million Skeena shares, or a $4.8-million value, based on Skeena’s Aug. 9 share closing price. The companies expect the transaction will close in early September.

“The projects we’ve acquired so far are ones that Netolitsky has pursued for many years, and Porter Idaho certainly fits into that description,” Walter Coles, president and CEO of Skeena, said during a conference call to discuss the acquisition.

The 5.9 sq. km property hosts two shear-hosted and silver-rich vein systems: the Silverado and Prosperity-Porter Idaho. Both showings are 2 km apart, located on opposite sides of a mountain that overlooks the town of Stewart.

Most of the historical work focused on Prosperity-Porter Idaho, where mineralization is found within six moderately dipping, subparallel shear zones traced on surface for 200 metres and 1 km down-dip, with widths varying between 2 and 13 metres.

The vein system was mined from adits between 1929 and 1931, and produced 27,000 tonnes of 2,692 grams silver per tonne and 0.99 gram gold per tonne. The ore was shipped to the port at Stewart via aerial tramway.

At Silverado, the vein system is hosted within four similarly trending shear zones, with equally high silver grades. The mineralization was periodically mined between 1921 and 1932, and produced 167.8 See SKEENA / 3

ust eight months after wrapping up its Gold Rush Challenge exploration competition, Integra Gold (TSXV: ICG; US-OTC: ICGQF) hosted a visit to its Lamaque South gold property, just east of Val-d’Or, Que., to offer analysts and investors, plus The Northern Miner, a sneak peak at some of the newly generated drill targets.

The company has begun a 2,000-metre long “parent” hole to test whether mineralization at the historic, neighbouring Sigma and Lamaque gold mines coalesce at depth. Once complete, the company will drill 15 “daughter” holes off the parent, totalling 8,000 metres, at various intervals to test the target.

Integra president and CEO Stephen de Jong told visitors at a presentation in town that the Lamaque Deep target is the “most interesting” prospect to date, representing the potential down-dip extension of the Lamaque mine, one of the highest ounces of gold per vertical metre deposits in Canada.

“If we hit it, it’ll take a lot more drilling to prove it up, but it could be a real game-changer for the project,” De Jong said. “The structures that host mineralization at Sigma appear to trend towards Lamaque at depth, and if they intercept it would create a perfect environment for gold.”

The Lamaque mine, which opened in 1933, produced 4.5 million oz. gold to 1.2 km deep, before shutting down in 1985. The Sigma mine, 500 metres north, produced the same amount over its 60-year mine life, with development extending to 1.9 km depth.

De Jong said the previous operator, McWatters Mining, had partly tested the zone. Despite encouraging results of 45 metres of 2.16 grams gold per tonne, and 40 metres of 2.51 grams gold, McWatters stopped exploring, and shut mining operations in 2003 due to a major reserve grade miscalculation and a subsequent bankruptcy as head grades disappointed amid a prolonged downturn in gold prices.

Hervé Thiboutot, senior vicepresident of exploration, continued the conversation in the core shed and exploration office. Inside, ge-

ologists had laid out hand-drawn, geological cross-sections displaying the latest drill results.

Outside were core boxes cradling high-grade gold intercepts from the property’s key Triangle deposit.

The core is riddled with countless high-strain, mylonitic shear zones, which once served as pathways for gold-rich fluids rising as a plume from depth.

The f luids were origina lly stripped out of partly melted rocks that formed at deep crustal levels as a result of widespread deformation 2.7 billion years ago.

At Triangle, mineralization occurred when a series of steeply dipping mylonites, or “C” structures, wedged their way through a cylindrical-shaped intrusive plug.

In response to the strain, the plug shattered into a series of “C-flat” structures and flat, brittle tension gashes, which were later sealed with quartz and gold.

But unlike the other deposits on the property, the mineralized C structures at Triangle extend farther into the surrounding volcaniclastic pile than previously

recognized. Thiboutot reckons that’s because the surrounding rocks were altered with silica, and more prone to breaking open when deformed.

“The C4 structure is richer and more continuous than the others we’ve seen at Triangle, perhaps because it had more lateral displacement along it,” he said, noting the the latest drill results have returned 33.6 grams gold over 3.2 metres, and 21.6 grams gold over 5.9 metres.

“There was so much movement that it created more open pace, and more fluid moved through it, at least that’s the theory.”

At last count in 2015, the resource stood at 2.6 million indicated tonnes of 7.4 grams gold, and 3.9 million inferred tonnes of 6.9 grams gold, assuming a 3-gram-gold cut-off.

Some of the mineralization, is “impossible to model,” Thiboutot commented.

“The really flat structures mined at Sigma tend to be high grade, but discontinuous. In the context of Sigma, 10% to 15% of the gold produced came from those f lat structures, and that’s why Sigma always overproduced relative to its mining model. Those zones can never be calculated with confidence, but they’re present and high grade,”

he said.

(The root of McWatters’ problems stemmed from grossly overestimating the amount of gold held in these flat structures.)

Back at the exploration office, De Jong said the company expects to complete an updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for the project by November, which he predicts will be “vastly different” than the one published in early 2015.

“In the last PEA, 70% of the ounces at Triangle were from the C-flat veins — it was done before we discovered the steep C structures,” he said. “So in the new PEA we’re looking at 85 to 90% long-hole mining … and that’s going to make a huge difference in terms of the economics and speed of mining.”

The previous study, which pooled resources from the property’s Triangle, Fortune, Parallel and No. 4 Plug deposits, envisaged a 1,300-tonneper-day operation over a 4.5-year mine life.

The underground mine would produce 110,000 oz. gold a year, pro c e s s e d at t he c ompa ny ’s 2,400-tonne-per-day Sigma mill complex, which could be scaled up to 5,000 tonnes per day by adding a semi-autogenous mill.

The project has an after-tax net present value of $184 million at a

5% discount rate, would generate a 59% internal rate of return.

“Triangle would be a 1,500- to 2,000-tonne-per-day deposit, and likely won’t go beyond that, so our strategy now is to advance Triangle, and look at satellite deposits that can increase the throughput at the mill to 5,000 tonnes per day,” De Jong said. “Hopefully in a year from now we can show something that could develop into a 180,000 to 250,000 oz. gold per year operation. We need a lot of exploration success to get there, but that’s what we look to do.”

The upcoming PEA will focus on resources at Triangle and No. 4 Plug, which is located 500 metres north of Triangle.

The last resource estimate for the No. 4 Plug was completed in 2013, and tabled 1.3 million indicated tonnes of 5.6 grams gold for 237,000 oz. gold, assuming a 3-gram-gold cut-off.

The company plans to calculate a resource estimate for both deposits early next year, which would include 10,000 metres of additional drilling at the No. 4 Plug and 40,000 metres more at Triangle.

Recent drill intercepts at the No. 4 Plug carried 12.6 grams gold over 21.4 metres, 7.4 grams gold over 14.4 metres and 7.2 grams gold over 14.3 metres.

Thiboutot explained that the No. 4 Plug is different than Triangle,

with most of the mineralization hosted in a cluster of f lat-lying, brittle veins within the intrusive, which is more similar to what’s seen at Lamaque. The dimensions of the intrusive, which measures 200 by 150 metres at surface to at least 1 km depth, are also the same as the historic gold mine.

Integra is almost two-thirds of the way through a 120,000-metre drill program at the property, with some of the metres designated to test interpretations of the Donald and Sigma extension prospects.

The company says that Donald could represent the easterly extension of Triangle, whereas the Sigma Extension stands out as a geophysical anomaly, largely untested because it fell along a property boundary

before Integra consolidated the land package.

The Sigma Extension was preliminarily tested by Integra in 2011, with results including 23 grams gold over 1.4 metres from 232 metres depth, and 4 grams gold over 2.5 metres from 70.5 metres depth.

The company has also started a 3,000-metre long underground exploration drive into Triangle’s C1 and C2 structures to define a resource and collect a 20,000-tonne bulk sample.

The cost of the underground drive is $26 million, but the company expects proceeds from the bulk sample could offset this figure by $9 million, assuming $1,600 per oz. gold. Integra aims to complete the ramp by next September. TNM

Dynasty Metals shares surge on proposed US$4M financing ECUADOR GOLD

| Junior miner gets new CEO as Robert Washer stays on as chairman IN JUNE, DYNASTY LET EMPLOYEES EXTRACT ORE FROM ZARUMA FOR 10 DAYS TO FINANCE A PARTIAL PAYMENT OF THEIR OUTSTANDING WAGES.

BY SALMA TARIKH

starikh@northernminer.com

hares of cash-strapped Dynasty Metals & Mining (TSX: DMM; US-OTC: DMMIF) have shot up after the company announced a US$4-million private placement with three directors of Goldgroup Mining (TSX: GGA; OTC: GGAZF).

Dynasty signed a binding letter of intent with Javier Reyes, Gregg Sedun and Keith Piggott, who is also Goldgroup’s chairman, president and CEO. The directors have agreed to use their own money to buy Dynasty shares for 15¢ apiece for gross proceeds of US$4 million.

The news pushed Dynasty shares up 57%, or 9.5¢, to close Aug. 16 at 26¢ per share.

Dy nast y intends to use t he proceeds to settle some of the payments owed to the Ecuadorian government, creditors and employees, as well as for working capital.

At the end of the first quarter ended March 31, the miner had US$200,000 in cash resources and a US$13.4-million working capital deficit. This deficit has likely grown since.

A two-and-a-half-month work stoppage started in April at the Zaruma gold mine in Ecuador, its sole producing asset.

In June Dynasty let employees extract ore from Zaruma for 10 days to finance a partial payment of their outstanding wages.

A month later, it received a default notice from Vertex One, which gave Dynasty US$4 million in notes last April.

In an interview, Piggott says Dynasty has $20 million in debt, which was why Goldgroup itself

wasn’t part of the financing. “We don’t consider that a smart move to put Goldgroup in there. It’s too high risk for Goldgroup at this point in time.”

Once the financing closes, Dynasty will shuffle its management and five-member board. Piggott will take on the role of CEO from Robert Washer, who will remain Dynasty’s chairman and board member, with director Leonard Clough. Meanwhile, Piggott, Reyes and Sedun will replace Dynasty’s

three other directors.

Piggott notes his more than 30 years of mining experience makes him a good fit for leading Dynasty. “I have a track record of reorganizing things and making them work. We believe Dynasty Metals has good assets, but is in serious financial difficulties. So it needs a real reorganization. We have expertise to do that.”

As of late, Piggot has focused on gold mining in Mexico with Goldgroup, which recently de-

clared commercial production at the Cerro Prieto heap-leach mine.

Sedun is a financier and lawyer. He was involved with three juniors, including Robert Friedland’s Diamond Fields Resources, which Inco acquired for $4.3 billion in 1996.

Reyes manages three hedge funds.

In 2001, he founded a financial consultancy firm.

While a private placement that materially affects control of a company requires shareholder approval, Dynasty will apply for

an exemption due to its “serious financial difficulty.”

Dynasty’s special committee, comprised of independent directors to evaluate alternatives to keep the company in business, approved the terms of the private placement.

The company didn’t immediately return requests for comment.

Although none of the Goldgroup directors owned a single share of Dynasty before their proposed investment, they will collectively become the company’s largest shareholder.

The expected US$4 million ($5.1 million) private placement at 15¢ per share would see 34 million shares issued, expanding Dynasty’s 46.7 million shares outstanding.

Piggott says the deal could close shortly. “We have a strong plan to put the company back on its feet,” he adds.

Commenting on working in Ecuador, Piggott notes that “we have seen Lukas Lundin go in there, and Ross Beaty and people like that.

We are confident that Ecuador is a really good place to be.”

The executive says that Goldgroup has potential projects in Ecuador and sees “possible synergies in the future.” TNM

tonnes of sorted high-grade ore.

According to B.C. Minfile mineral inventory reports, a 12.7-tonne shipment from Silverado in 1927 averaged 3,400 equivalent grams silver, with minor gold and lead.

The owners closed the mine due to weak silver prices, and apart from sporadic exploration over the years, Silverado and ProsperityPorter Idaho largely slipped out of memory.

In 2008, Raimount Energ y (TSXV: RMT), an oil and gas company that had previously acquired junior explorer Pacific Cassier and its Porter Idaho property, reassessed the historic work and updated Prosperity-Porter Idaho’s resource. In 2012, the company spun out the silver asset into Mount Rainey.

Indicated resources for the deposit stand at 395,000 tonnes grading 868 grams silver, 3.4% lead and 1.4% zinc, whereas 89,000 tonnes grading 595 grams silver are inferred.

“The cut-off grade for ProsperityPorter Idaho averaged 23 oz. per silver,” Coles said. “This fits into our thesis they would’ve left behind a lot of mineralization, which, in today’s higher silver-price environment and improved infrastructure in the Golden Triangle, would be economic today.”

Historic reports suggest that silver mineralization may be tied to a larger scale “Silverado” fault.

“WE’RE STARTING WITH A HIGH-GRADE RESOURCE, AND THERE’S POTENTIAL TO ADD MORE OUNCES.” WALTER COLES PRESIDENT AND CEO, SKEENA RESOURCES

The fault traces in line with the mineralization, but previous explorers couldn’t assess whether the silver showings connect along strike because of an intervening glacier.

“That’s the aspect of the project that gets us really excited — we’re starting with a high-grade resource, and there’s good potential to add more ounces by targeting the underexplored area between those two vein systems,” Coles said, noting that the glacier has receded over the past few decades.

Skeena operates three other projects in the region, including its Spectrum gold-copper project, the GJ copper-gold project and the historic Snip gold mine.

“When we started our strategy in the golden triangle two years ago, the sentiment was still very negative and our view was to be contrarian.

Now, it’s becoming harder to find projects that we can acquire at attractive valuations,” he said.

“At this point we’ve probably acquired all the projects we’re going to acquire in the golden triangle, with the caveat being that if something

attractive appears, we’ll certainly consider it. But we have our work cut out for us here with the projects we’ve accumulated.”

The company expects to produce a preliminary economic assessment that envisages a combined operation between its Spectrum and GJ properties by the first quarter next year.

Coles said the study would mark a “transformational milestone” for the company.

Coles also expects “strong results” from a 6,000-metre drill program that has just begun at Snip. The former underground mine produced 1.1 million oz. gold at average grades of 27.5 grams gold before closing in 1999 due to low gold prices.

As for Porter Idaho, Coles said it would be another year before the drills turn, as the company needs to acquire drill permits and review the old data.

Skeena shares have traded in a 52-week range of 5¢ to 20¢ per share, and closed at 18¢ at press time. The company has 440.1 million shares outstanding for a $73-million market capitalization. TNM

LME shakes up gold World Gold Council: world with gold and Gold demand nears new record silver trading METALS MARKETS

| Revolution in transparency in precious metals trading

M

etal trading in the historic centre of London has had a pretty-clear cut dichotomy in recent years: base metals trading including futures are carried out on the giant London Metal Exchange (LME), while precious metals trading — including administering the iconic “London gold fix” — has been the purview of the relatively smaller and

BY JOHN CUMMING jcumming@northernminer.com more quaint London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).

This is all changing with the LME’s announcement that it is creating a gold and silver futures exchange in partnership with the World Gold Council (WGC) and a group of financial heavy hitters, including Goldman Sachs, ICBC Standard Bank, Morgan Stanley, Natixis, OSTC and Societe Generale.

Perhaps most importantly, this new exchange will have a transparency that the LBMA — where precious metals are privately traded between individuals — has always lacked, whether or not by design.

The more opaque LBMA approach has certainly been successful, though: London ranks as the world’s largest physical bullion market at US$5 trillion a year, and vaults in the city are used by many foreign central banks to hold their gold reserves.

But in the words of the WGC, the partners’ move to create precious metals trading on the LME follows an “extensive engagement with major market participants,” and has been “driven by the need for greater market transparency to support and aid ongoing regulatory change, provide additional robustness to the precious metals market, broaden market access, make trading more capital efficient and trade lifecycle management easier.”

The partners already picked out a Google-friendly name for the exchange: LMEprecious (all one word).

WGC chief executive Aram Shishmanian comments that the new exchange will be “another important step in the modernization of the gold market. It will strengthen London’s position in the global gold market, enabling it to meet the needs of all participants, attract new players and satisfy the highest standards of regulatory compliance.”

As planned, LMEprecious will comprise spot, daily and monthly futures, options, and calendar spread contracts for gold and silver.

Platinum and palladium contracts will be added down the road.

All trading will be centrally cleared on LME Clear, the LME’s stateof-the art, real-time clearing house, and leverage the London market’s existing delivery infrastructure.

The LME says the new product suite will complement the bilateral over-the-counter (OTC) market, offering market participants similar levels of execution flexibility, including the ability to bring bilaterally negotiated (phone-based) trades into clearing. Market participants will also benefit, the LME says, from tight on-exchange price discovery and a product model designed to maximize capital efficiencies.

The participating banks are to act as “liquidity providers for the precious contracts to ensure efficient price discovery and establish market depth.”

LMEprecious is to be launched in the first half of 2017, following what the LME calls a “comprehensive process of integration and testing” that is subject to regulatory approvals.

More information on LMEprecious can be gleaned at free breakfast workshops the LME will hold in New York City on Sept. 13 and London on Sept. 21.

The LME hasn’t traded any precious metals since the 1990s, and lost out to the LBMA on an opportunity to administer the London gold fix in November 2014, but did win the administration of the platinum and palladium price fixes in October 2014.

The LME’s previous and so far only attempt at starting a gold futures exchange was in 1982 at a time of peak gold prices, when it joined gold industry participants to launch the London Gold Futures Market, which shut its doors only three years later owing to a lack of domestic and speculative investors.

The LBMA, whose 149 members include some of the world’s biggest banks, isn’t taking this challenge from the LME lying down. While stating it will never become a true exchange, it is responding with its own plans for increased technology use and improved transparency, noting that has been asked recently by the Bank of England to draft a global Precious Metals Code, following the example set by the Forex markets, and it will in time be available for public consultation.

FACTS ‘N’ FIGURES

| Western investors drive demand to 75M oz. in H1

The following is a release by the World Gold Council detailing global gold demand in the second quarter of 2016. The full 26-page Gold Demand Trends report is available for free download at www.gold.org.

G

lobal gold demand reached 2,335 tonnes (75.1 million oz.) in the first half of 2016, with investment reaching record levels for any first half of a year (H1), 16% higher than the previous record in first-half 2009, according to the World Gold Council’s latest Gold Demand Trends report.

The second quarter of 2016 continued in the same vein as the first quarter of this year, with gold demand growing to 1,050 tonnes (33.8 million oz.), up 15% from 910 tonnes in second-quarter 2015, boosted by considerable and consistent investment demand.

Investment demand reached 448 tonnes (14.4 million oz.), as investors sought risk diversification and a safe store of value in the face of continued political, economic and social instability.

to contribute to global demand, as gold provides diversification from currency reserves and, most notably, the dollar.

The global picture for gold is dominated by considerable and continued investment demand driven by the West, as investors rebalance their portfolios in response to the expanding pool of negative yielding government bonds and heightened political and economic uncertainty.

At the same time, the global gold market is, and has always been, based on balance, and we see a gradual return for the jewellery market in the second half of 2016.

Total supply for the second quarter of 2016 saw a 10% increase to 1,145 tonnes (36.6 million oz.), compared to 1,042 tonnes in the second quarter of 2015. The primary driver of this increase was recycling, which saw a 23% rise, as consumers capitalized on the rising gold price, leading to first-half recycled gold supply of 687 tonnes, which is 10% higher than the 626 tonnes

PRODUCTION LEVELS HAVE PLATEAUED OWING TO COST MANAGEMENT, WHICH HAS BEEN THE INDUSTRY’S FOCUS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. HIGHER PRODUCTION WAS OFFSET BY DECLINES AT LARGER PROJECTS. Exchange-traded funds had a stellar first half of the year at almost 580 tonnes, due to inflows in the second quarter of 237 tonnes. Bar and coin demand was also up in a number of markets in the second quarter, including the U.S. at 25 tonnes (up 101%), leading to 485 tonnes in bar and coin investment in the first half of 2016, which is 4% higher than the first half last year.

A cause and effect of the growth in investment demand was a 25% rise in the U.S. gold price — the strongest first-half price gain since 1980. This contributed to lacklustre consumer purchasing, particularly in price-sensitive markets.

While there were increases for jewellery demand in the U.S. (up 1%) and Iran (up 10%), the customary powerhouses of China and India saw 15% drops in the second quarter to 144 tonnes, and 20% to 98 tonnes. China faced a challenging quarter against a relatively soft economic backdrop and the implementation of hallmarking legislation in May. Meanwhile, India’s rural incomes remained under pressure, while the government increased excise duty.

Central bank demand decreased 40% in the second quarter of 2016 to 77 tonnes, compared to 127 tonnes in the same period last year, resulting in net purchases for the first half totalling 185 tonnes.

While this quarter was the lowest level of net purchases since the second quarter of 2011, it comes amid a rise in gold prices over the first half of 2016, dramatically increasing the value of central bank gold holdings to US$1.4 trillion.

Central banks are still expected

seen in the first half of 2015.

Mine production stayed f lat at 787 tonnes (25.3 million oz.), versus 790 tonnes in the second quarter of 2015, while gold producers added 30 tonnes (965,000 oz.) to the hedge book.

Production levels have plateaued owing to cost management, which has been the industry’s focus for the last couple of years. Higher production was more than offset by declines at larger projects.

Canadian mine output rose 3 tonnes year-on-year in the second quarter, as continued ramp-up of the Eléonore and Cochenour projects bolstered Canadian Malartic and Detour Lake. In Mexico, production from Fresnillo (+1.1 tonnes, +20%) lifted the country’s year-on-year gold output, as did Torex Gold’s El Limon-Guajes, which entered commercial production at the end of the first quarter. Increases from the newer Aurora and Karouni projects helped Guyana register a higher year-on-year output (+2 tonnes). Although recent mine start-ups have contributed to mine production, this will not have a big effect. The project pipeline remains constrained, with 2016 output from on-stream mines around half of what it was in 2015.

Year-on-year output from Mongolia (-6 tonnes) and Indonesia (-12 tonnes) saw declines, and production from both Oyu Tolgoi (-5.2 tonnes) and Grasberg (-4 tonnes) fell due to mine sequencing. In Peru, declines in production were once again led

by Yanacocha, where production was 1.6 tonnes lower than in the second quarter of 2015.

BLG’s Pletcher on Canada’s new rules for hostile bids INTERVIEW

| Reviewing Hecla’s failed hostile takeover attempt of Dolly Varden

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL mkeevil@northernminer.com

W

e sat down in Vancouver with Fred Pletcher, chair of the National Mining Group at legal firm Borden Ladner Gervais, to discuss Canada’s new hostile takeover rules and a securities case involving junior Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV: DV; US-OTC: DOLLF) and a hostile takeover bid from U.S.-based Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL) launched on July 8.

Pletcher served as lead lawyer representing Dolly Varden, which was defending its right to complete a private placement despite the unsolicited bid from Hecla Mining.

Hecla ultimately dropped its offer in late July after regulators ruled the junior could move ahead with the financing.

Hecla’s failed bid has led to speculation that private placements may replace shareholder rights plans, or “poison pills,” as the preferred method for defeating hostile takeovers after rule changes under National Instrument 62-104, but Pletcher cautions that may not be the case.

The Northern Miner: Let’s dig into the actual change to the letter of the law in terms of the regulatory initiatives outlined in NI 62-104 in May. What does it actually mean?

Fred Pletcher: The change tried to give a board of directors more time to respond to hostile manoeuvres, and allow shareholders the opportunity not to be coerced by bids.

The rules did a couple of things.

First, bids are now required to be outstanding for 105 days instead of 35 days, which allows a target board to canvass the market and see if they can find a “white knight” to present an alternative transaction to shareholders.

Second, there is now a minimum tender condition wherein 50% of the shares must not be held by parties who did not launch a hostile bid. In other words, a majority of the minority of shareholders would have to tender to the bid to proceed. That prevents a small minority of shareholders from pushing a company into a sale.

TNM: What sort of background discussions and debates led to the regulatory changes?

FP: This had actually been in the works for quite a long time. There had been a consensus emerging among securities regulators, legal practitioners and the federal gov-

ernment that Canadian takeover bid legislation and policies were too favourable to hostile bidders.

That created a slanted playing field, and one of the federal competition reviews actually talked about the lack of productivity in Canada, and an inability to create corporate “champions.”

The message was that part of the problem was that our leading companies may have been too easy to take over. Also, people attempted to do privately what policy wouldn’t allow, which led to shareholder rights plans (poison pills). These developed to give boards more time to respond to hostile bids. The thought behind the legislation is to get security commissions out of the game by establishing a longer time frame to consider bids.

TNM: How did these regulatory changes play out during Hecla Mining’s recent hostile bid for junior Dolly Varden silver?

FP: This case involved private placements, and there was broad commentary in the industry over whether private placements would become the defensive tactic to thwart hostile takeovers. There were several cases before the rule changes that addressed using private placements in this man-

ner, and the rulings had gone both ways.

I’d caution not to assume the Dolly Varden case would create a free-for-all to stop hostile bids with private placements … facts in this circumstance wouldn’t necessarily be there in other instances. This was a company that needed financing and worked on the private placement before the bid. Hecla also had a right to participate in the financing, so they weren’t being diluted here. Therefore you could say there was no prejudice in this private placement.

TNM: You’ve also worked with proxy battles recently, including the Taseko Mines (TSX: TKO; NYSE-MKT: TGB) case involving dissident shareholders at Raging River Capital. What impact might the rules have in this case?

FP: One of the questions during a proxy fight is: “What happens if the target does a private placement before the record date of the meeting?” In this case it was one of the threats the dissident group raised, though I’d point out that Taseko didn’t consider this move at all.

But I could easily see a circumstance in a tightly fought proxy challenge where the same arguments would be raised as to whether a private placement would be ap-

proved by the regulators. In terms of that situation, however, it tends to occur when markets have been in a state of decline and dissidents can point to share performance. In a rising market like we see now it’s harder to make this case, so we see less activity.

TNM: Regarding the dif ficulty Canada has in creating what you called champion companies, do you have suggestions that might alter the landscape? Is what has been done enough?

FP: Our firm has supported the changes to the takeover rules. There was an alternative put forward by the Quebec Autorité des marchés financiers that probably would have gone further. This focused more on fiduciary duties and would have left it to the courts to determine these matters from the perspective of corporate and common law in Canada.

There were interesting elements in this proposal, but the plan we now have balances the playing field. It’s easier for the targets of a hostile bid to find an alternative transaction to provide shareholders with more value.

TNM: We’ve talked a lot about hostile bid scenarios. But could the rules impact friendly deals between companies?

FP: There has always been an uncomfortable relationship between so-called “friendly” and “hostile” transactions. You can push back against a friendly transaction to negotiate better terms, but you’re always worried in the back of your mind that the situation could go hostile. The threat of this situation tends to grease the wheels in terms of motivating companies to close friendly deals.

Because of the legislation, we’ll see less hostile bids in Canada, which may change the dynamic for friendly transactions.

TNM: Would the legislation impact situations with multiple bidders?

FP: Things are now much easier for white knights, simply because they have more time to complete due diligence. Companies in the resource space can have many layers of assets, so it can become complicated. This makes it hard for a third party to come in cold and get comfortable enough to place a substantial bid. This dynamic gives potential bidders time to understand an asset, and possibly raise financing for the transaction.

In Canada, two-thirds of hostile bids generate a white knight or alternative transaction. These numbers will probably shift even further, and the hostile companies would have a lower success rate.

But the intention is not to eliminate hostile corporate manoeuvres, because they help the marketplace police entrenched, recalcitrant management.

TNM: How does the 105-day timeline for bids and a multiple-bidder situation work?

FP: A nuance to the rule is that the 105-day period shortens to a 35-day period once you’re in a competitive auction. So when a white knight appears, the time frames compress because it’s now a jump ball. There’s also an option for a target to put the process on the shorter, 35-day period willingly.

The question that may arise in the multiple-bid scenarios concerns private placements. We’ve seen instances in Canada where white knights have offered to take private placements in targets that need the money. The grey area comes when the hostile party says: “Wait a minute, now you’re making it more difficult for us.” This is a situation — unlike Dolly Varden — where the regulators would look a lot closer at the private placement.

M A R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / AUGUST 15–19 Canada’s benchmark index retreated into negative territory, down 0.4% to 14,687.46.

The S&P/TSX Global Mining Index fell 1.4% to 66.62. The S&P/TSX Global Gold Index lost 4% to close at 264.53, despite spot gold rising 0.4% to US$1,341.10 per barrel. The September contract for crude oil jumped 6% to US$48.52 per barrel.

Dynasty Metals & Mining soared 73% to 29¢ per share on a proposed financing with three directors of Goldgroup Mining. The directors, including Goldgroup’s CEO Keith Piggott, will use their own money to buy Dynasty shares for 15¢ apiece for gross proceeds of US$4 million. Dynasty, the operator of the Zaruma gold mine in Ecuador, will use the proceeds to pay some of its outstanding debt. Once the financing closes, Piggott will take on the role of CEO from Robert Washer.

Arizona Mining shares roses 26% to $2.07 on the back of drill results. The junior reported three exploration holes from the ongoing program at the Taylor zinc-lead-sulphide deposit on its Hermosa project in Arizona.

Along with other recently drilled holes, this expands the February 2016 maiden resource of 39.4 million inferred tonnes grading 11% zinc equivalent. The best new hole intersected eight mineralized intervals, including 7.3 metres of 22.4% zinc, 24.5% lead, 0.4% copper and 415.6 grams silver per tonne. This interval

was within a broader, 17.7-metre section that assayed 12.2% zinc, 12.1% lead, 0.2% copper and 211.5 grams silver.

Shares of Prophecy Development advanced 24%, or 84¢, to $4.30. The firm published assay results from the first 40 samples collected from the Paca exploration program at its Pulacayo project in Bolivia. The company had collected 233 samples, but due to a backlog at the testing laboratory, it picked the 40 most promising samples for assaying. It notes one chip channel sample had silver grades that surpassed the detection limit of 1,500 grams per tonne. This sample will undergo another assay using a higher detection limit, with results expected within three weeks.

Shares of CanAlaska Uranium gained 23¢, or 19.7%, to $1.40, on news that its jointventure partner De Beers Canada would drill kimberlite targets at the company’s West Athabasca diamond project in Saskatchewan. De Beers recently collected over 100 samples for kimberlite indicator mineral processing, which were taken from glacial gravels within the target area. The diamond miner also completed an airborne magnetics geophysical survey that identified a cluster of anomalies measuring 10 hectares in size, with most found under lakes and swamps. A drill program targeting the land-based anomalies is scheduled at the end of August and would continue to mid-October, with the rest of the anomalies tested late in the year.

Junior miner MX Gold saw 14.7 million shares traded, before closing down 5¢ to 32¢ per share, after an oversubscribed, $1.3-million private placement. The company issued 5.2 million units, consisting of one share and one warrant, with each warrant exercisable within three years at 75¢ per share.

The company, formerly known as Discovery Ventures, plans to use the proceeds to advance its Willa gold-copper project, 12 km south of Silverton, B.C. MX Gold is rehabilitating and upgrading its Max mill, 135 km south of Willa, in preparation for a 10,000-tonne bulk sample. The volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit has measured and indicated resources of 758,000 tonnes of 6.67 grams gold per tonne and 0.9% copper, assuming a 3.5 gram gold cut-off.

Avino’s president and CEO, David Wolfin, said in a press release that the declines in production and income — combined with higher costs — are “short-term adjustments,”

due to maintenance and lower-grade material from mining in Mexico.

Shares of Callinex Mines rose 18¢ to 58¢, after acquiring 100% ownership in the Point Leamington, Nash Creek and Superjack volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits in eastern Canada. The company plans to complete metallurgical test work, target generation and drilling at the projects this year. TNM

U.S. MARKETS / AUGUST 15–19 Qualms that Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen would hike rates this year during a speech on Aug. 26 at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s annual economic policy symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo., dampened enthusiasm for stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 0.1% to 18,552.57 and the S&P 500 Index shed 0.01% to 2,183.87. Spot gold advanced US$5.40 per oz. to finish at US$1,341.10 per oz., while the Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index dropped 3.6% to 107.69. On a more positive note, Moody’s Investors Service changed its outlook for base metals to stable from negative. “The extreme price deterioration for major base metals — aluminum, copper, nickel and zinc — seen in late 2015 and early 2016 has likely bottomed,” it noted, while cautioning that “we do not expect material improvement from current levels over the next 12 to 18 months.”

Shares of Rio Tinto rose US98¢, or 3% to US$32.06, after comments from Moody’s.

The New York-based rating agency changed its rating outlook on the company to stable, saying it anticipates that Rio “will continue to focus on balance sheet strength,” and that the company’s “cost position and volume levels

6_AUGUST29_MarketNews.indd 6

are expected to generate acceptable earnings.”

Moody’s also said the outlook “considers the company’s ongoing ability to drive out costs, reduce capital expenses and reduce dividend payout going forward.” Rio would be “free cash-flow generative, given actions taken to date,” Moody’s said, adding that its “liquidity position will continue comfortably above ongoing requirements.” The ratings agency pointed out that iron ore prices “are up off the lows of late 2015,” and that the slide in copper and aluminum prices “has likely bottomed.”

Excellon swings back into profit as costs fall CEO INTERVIEW

| Silver miner aims to double output and halve costs at Platosa in Mexico

BY SALMA TARIKH

starikh@northernminer.com

xcellon Resources (TSX: EXN) is back in the black, after more than two years of losses.

The operator of the high-grade Platosa silver-lead-zinc mine in Mexico reported a second-quarter adjusted profit of US$900,000, or a cent per share, which is up from last year’s adjusted loss of US3¢ per share. Excellon last recorded a net profit of US$1.9 million — or US3¢ per share — in the first quarter of 2014.

The second-quarter adjusted earnings were ahead of the nil per share that Cormark analyst Graeme Jennings had projected, while cash flow per share of a cent met expectations. (The adjusted profit removed a US$5.4-million fair value adjustment loss on embedded derivatives and warrants.)

The return to profitability came from improved costs, Brendan Cahill, Excellon’s president and CEO, says in an interview. “We’ve seen mining costs per tonne go down 50% or more, since the beginning of 2015, or the end of 2014.”

Cost per tonne mined and milled fell from US$481 in the fourth quarter of 2014 to US$242 in the second quarter of 2016.

The executive, a lawyer by training, also attributes costs to better management, lower input costs and a stronger U.S. dollar. “In Canada, people talk about the benefit of mining with the Canadian dollar when you’re selling in U.S. dollar.

In Mexico, that is even more of a benefit, where the peso has gone from 11 or 10-to-1 a few years ago to almost 19-to-1 now.

“Mexico is a great place to operate,” Cahill says, adding that the slump in oil prices has resulted in cheaper electricity. “We’ve seen prices per kilowatt hour drop from 14 cents in late 2014 to under 6 cents per kilowatt hour … when you compare that to the price in Ontario right now, it’s pretty impressive.”

Located in northeastern Durango state, the underground Platosa mine produced more silver and lead in the June quarter, owing to improved grades and recoveries. Zinc output, however, fell on declining grades.

The company’s sole producing asset churned out 368,568 equivalent oz. silver, up 8% from the year earlier. This includes 227,826 oz. silver, 1.31 million lb. lead and 1.57 million lb. zinc. Grades averaged 536 grams silver per tonne, 5.1%

lead and 6.3% zinc.

All-in sustaining costs per oz. silver dropped 21% to US$19.27, which included one-time costs associated with optimization at Platosa.

Adjusted all-in sustaining costs were US$15.27, or more than US$2 below the average realized silver price.

The company processes all of the ore at its Miguel Auza mill, located 220 km away in Zacatecas, at 160 tonnes per day. The 650-tonne-perday mill runs half of the time, with Excellon seeking opportunities for the extra capacity, Cahill notes.

From there, Excellon transports Platosa’s silver-lead concentrate and silver-zinc concentrate to the port of Manzanillo, where a subsidiary of the Trafigura Group buys them at market price.

Production costs should improve after the optimization plan to prevent water inflows, Cahill says, helping the firm increase underground production and development rates.

Excellon has mined Platosa since 2005, which contains several highgrade massive sulphide mantos, hosted by permeable limestone. It has used reactive pumping to control water inflows, after the mine work-

ings extended below the local water table in 2007.

Since the process was time-consuming and expensive, the miner in late 2014 retained Quebec-based firms Hydro-Ressources and Technosub to assess alternative water management solutions. They designed a proactive plan — currently underway — to install a system to pump directly from water-bearing faults, so that water wouldn’t enter the mine.

Once Excellon implements the estimated US$6-million plan, it could dewater at 4 metres per month, Cahill says, adding that initial results indicate the drawdown would occur much faster.

The deepest parts of the mine are 160 metres below surface, or 20 metres below the water table, meaning it would take five months to dewater, Cahill says, and installing the pumping system could take 10 months.

The executive notes that the mineralization is ramp accessible, which makes mining at Platosa rather easy.

“You need almost no ground support whatsoever. The rock is competent.

As long as you can get rid of the

major bottleneck, it is actually a beautiful little mine to work in. It’s obviously exceptionally high grade as well, which makes things easier.”

Without specifying when the optimization plan should wrap up, Cahill reveals by year-end “we should be in very good shape.”

In the first half of 2017, the executive forecasts production could double to 4 million equivalent oz. silver, while all-in sustaining costs would halve to US$9 per oz. silver, on an annualized basis.

With the optimization efforts well advanced at Platosa, Excellon initiated a 25,000-metre exploration program on Aug. 17.

“The exploration story is wide open, we really haven’t done any resource expansion drilling since 2011,” Cahill says, noting once Excellon realized Platosa had a 10-year mine life, it looked for other highgrade mantos mineralization and large source-style skarn deposits. (“Source” refers to carbonate replacement deposit [CRD] mineralization, as Platosa falls within the prolific Mexican CRD belt.)

In July 2012, the company discovered a source-style deposit, 1 km from Platosa. But the next year, the “market fell apart, and we ratcheted back on drilling since [first-half] 2013,” Cahill says.

Given that Platosa’s resource covers 56 hectares of the 21,000-hectare project, Cahill says the chances of finding more skarn and manto-style mineralization are high.

As part of its exploration plans, Excellon aims to locate massive

sulphide targets and new mantos discoveries near the mine infrastructure, as well as explore and drill source targets, and generate regional targets by reinterpreting geophysical and drilling data.

Platosa’s resource estimate includes 428 million measured and indicated tonnes grading 1,252 equivalent grams silver per tonne for 17.2 million equivalent oz. silver. It has another 4,000 inferred tonnes grading 2,492 equivalent grams silver. Based on measured and indicated resources, Platosa has a six-year mine life.

The company has enough cash to optimize and explore Platosa, Cormark’s Jennings notes. It ended June with $4.5 million in cash and marketable securities, and closed an oversubscribed $15.2 million bought-deal in July.

Commenting on the recent financing, Cahill says it reflects the improved market and the company’s strong shareholders, which include Eric Sprott, Sprott Asset Management, Dundee Corp. and Blackrock Global Silver Miners ETF. “It will be interesting to see what we do next. It will be exciting.”

Since releasing its financials on Aug. 8, Excellon shares are up 54% to close Aug. 12 at $2.19.

“We expect to see Excellon continue to be rerated, as precious metal prices strengthen and as operations improve throughout the year from drier conditions and higher grades,” Jennings says. As of Aug. 9, he had a “buy” and a $2 target price on the stock. TNM

Sierra Metals sees growth through exploration at its three mines DEVELOPMENT

ierra Metals (TSX: SMT) shares gained momentum after the company outlined its commitment to increase high-grade tonnage at its Yauricocha polymetallic mine in Peru, and Bolivar and Cusi mines in Mexico through brownfield programs.

“Sierra Metals is on track to see strong exploration growth and exploration success. The past year’s preparation should lead to the rubber hitting the road, which should increase shareholder value for the company and its shareholders,” Mark Brennan, the company’s president and CEO, said on a conference call.

At the underground Yauricocha silver-copper-zinc-lead-gold operation in Yauyos province, Sierra is wrapping up the first phase of an optimization program that has boosted quarterly production and throughput since the fourth quarter of 2015. The program, which began in late 2015, is focused on controlling water inflow, improving mine sequencing and introducing

mechanized mining methods. (The company is replacing conventional jackleg mining with mechanized jumbo mining.)

In the second quarter, Yauricocha’s silver-equivalent output grew 24% over the first quarter to 1.85 million oz., despite only a 4% increase in throughput, Brennan says. But compared to the second quarter of 2015, silver-equivalent ounces decreased 14%.

The 3,000-tonne-per-day operation sits at an average altitude of 4,600 metres and has produced for more than 60 years, with no signs of stopping.

Sierra recently updated the mine’s reserve and resource estimates, including a maiden reserve and resource estimate for the Esperanza zone, which it found 400 metres north of the central mine area in January.

The Esperanza zone contains 1.5 million tonnes in reserves, bringing Yauricocha’s total to 3.8 million tonnes averaging 61.1 grams silver per tonne, 0.8% copper, 1.2% lead, 2.9% zinc and 0.62 gram gold.

Esperanza has 2.5 million measured and indicated tonnes and 1.5

million inferred tonnes, representing 30% of the total measured and indicated resource and 41% of the total inferred resource at Yauricocha.

Sierra is in the early stages of delineation drilling at Esperanza and says the exploration program will grow the mine’s resources in the coming months.

“We like to emphasize that we believe we’re at the bottom of the first inning of a nine-inning ball game at Esperanza,” Brennan says.

Esperanza is just one of the many brownfield targets at Yauricocha that Sierra is assessing. During the June quarter, Sierra drilled 10,800 metres in 72 holes at Yauricocha, with 32 holes going into Esperanza.

At the underground Bolivar copper-zinc in Chihuahua, Sierra is growing throughput. The operation went from 400 tonnes per day in 2011 to 2,500 tonnes per day in 2015. It is now at 3,000 tonnes per day. Second-quarter throughput was up 13% from a year ago. Despite the increase, average head grades and recoveries declined, resulting in a 5% year-over-year decline in 5.36 million equivalent lb. copper production.

Sierra expects grades will improve in the second half of 2016, because it may mine from higher-grade areas on the property. During the June quarter, Sierra extracted ore from the El Gallo zone and drilled over 6,000 metres at the nearby Bolivar West fault area.

Meanwhile, the underground Cusi silver-lead mine, also in Chihuahua, saw second-quarter silver-equivalent ounces climb 23% year-over-year to 307,000 ounces.

All-in sustaining costs per silverequivalent ounces decreased 39% to US$18.49. Sierra notes the mine started zinc production in the first half of 2016, which contributed to the higher silver-equivalent ounces.

During the quarter, Cusi saw nearly 1,600 metres of infill drilling.

“This year will be a significant year for Sierra Metals,” Brennan says, noting that production, grade and recoveries should improve throughout

the year at Yauricocha, with the optimization program and production from the Esperanza zone in the third quarter. He expects more brownfield exploration success at all three of Sierra’s underground operations.

Net loss during the June quarter totalled US$3.4 million, compared to a US$1.2-million profit a year ago, largely due to lower revenues.

Adjusted earnings were US$454,000.

Revenue fell 20% to US$36.9 million, on the back of lower year-overyear production at Yauricocha and

Bolivar. All-in sustaining costs at the two operations also increased.

Quarterly silver-equivalent output came in at 3 million oz., compared to 3.2 million equivalent oz. copper production of 19.7 million lb., versus 21.6 million pounds.

Sierra exited the quarter with US$20.6 million in cash and equivalents, and US$4.7 million in restricted cash.

On Aug. 17, the day Sierra released the operational update, its shares gained 11% to close at $2.06. TNM

BHP tables US$6.4B loss in worst-ever year FISCAL YEAR 2016

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

B

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

HP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) has posted the worst annual financial results since its inception in 2001, but CEO Andrew Mackenzie now says the “free fall” has likely passed for natural resource markets.

The world’s largest mining company saw its annual revenue fall over 30% to US$31 billion, which led to a US$6.4-billion net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30.

The result included net impairments of US$7.7 billion, which were largely attributed to US$4.9 billion on U.S. energy assets and US$2.2 billion related to the deadly tailings spill at the Samarco joint venture in Brazil.

BHP’s performance did show recent operational improvements driven by its focus on “core, lowcost” assets, with its underlying profit totalling US$1.2 billion, or

US23¢ per share.

The company’s flagship iron ore division accounted for earnings of US$5.6 billion, while its petroleum and copper units generated US$3.7 billion and US$2.6 billion.

“This past year was difficult for the resource industry,” Mackenzie said during a video conference.

“Notwithstanding that fact, we’ve achieved solid results. And we’ve done it focusing on the things that really matter in terms of cost control and lower corporate overhead.

That has put us in a good position, with a strong and disciplined approach to capital management.

We’ve increased productivity at many of our operations, but obviously that achievement was offset by falling commodity prices.”

BHP is a bellwether for the base metal and oil sectors, which have not rebounded in 2016 alongside the precious metals sector due to weak global economic growth and widespread oversupply.

Mackenzie conceded the near-

term outlook for industrial metals and energy is bleak.

BHP also signalled it is not poised to enter the mergers and acquisitions market due to its fiscal year-end net debt of US$26 billion.

“O u r v i sion for long-ter m growth focuses on existing assets that sit within the portfolio.

These don’t require a significant increase in commodity prices, but when you pool them all you see a

“Despite lower-than-expected growth in the developed world, we are confident that the demand in these commodities will increase.

pull markets back into balance,” he added.

The company also noted a recent rise in metallurgical coal prices underpinned by seasonal demand, China’s domestic capacity controls and temporary supply disruptions in Queensland, Australia. BHP’s longer-term met coal outlook remains “robust” due to a projected scarcity of premium product and demand growth driven by steel production in India.

Regarding BHP’s large-scale Jansen potash asset in Saskatchewan. The company recently cut US$130 million from its project budget, as fertilizer markets have remained depressed. Jansen’s total capital expenses are estimated at US$14 billion, and BHP is sinking nearly US$4 billion into preproduction activities at the site. The major infrastructure work involves developing twin shafts, which are expected by early 2019.

“We’re making progress on the project after a challenging start,” Mackenzie said. “The shafts are well underway, and we’re doing it under a lower budget. When we finish that work we’ll face the decision on whether to build an operation. It’s perfectly possible we could mothball the shafts once they are completed if market conditions have not improved, and we continue to talk to partners about a potential stake.”

BHP is striving to cut costs, and has saved US$437 million this year.

The company is targeting another US$2.2 billion in savings by the end of fiscal 2017. Capital investment at Jansen alone has totalled US$2.6 billion to date.

BMO Capital Markets analysts David Gagliano and Edward Sterck note that BHP’s underlying annual results are “better than expected,” though the failure to reduce net debt “may be seen as a slight negative, where peers have managed to improve their balance sheet positions.”

Shares of BHP have traded in a 52-week range of US$18.46 to US$38.10, and closed at US$31.50 at press time. The company has 3.2 billion shares outstanding for a US$79-billion market capitalization.

“Our position gives us many options to increase production volumes as prices recover. We’ve unwound a decade of cost inf lation, and we’re going to deliver further declines in unit costs this year,” Mackenzie said.

BHP expects another US$1.8 billion in “productivity gains” next year, which it says could deliver more than US$7 billion in free cash f low based on current commodity pricing and forecast debt reductions. TNM

CB Gold surges on Santa Ana deal COLOMBIA

| Silver property contains four past-producing mines

BY TRISH SAYWELL

S

tsaywell@northernminer.com

hares of CB Gold (TSXV: CBJ) jumped 36% on news that the junior explorer has bought the Santa Ana silver project in Colombia.

Santa Ana, on the eastern side of the Central Cordillera, about 190 km northeast of Bogota, is situated in one of the country’s most prolific colonial mining camps, where production dates to the sixteenth century.

“It’s a historic silver mining district in the province of Tolima, and the market is reflecting positively on the news,” says Patrick Balit, vicepresident of corporate development at Red Eagle Mining (TSXV: RD; US-OTC: RDEMF), which owns 71% of CB Gold. “This place was written about in the history books.

In historic documents dating from 1585 there were claims they were mining 17.5 kilograms per ton of silver from four-and-a-half-footwide veins.”

A preliminary drill program in 2012 by the project’s seller — privately held Condor Precious Metals — returned intersections of 1,751 equivalent grams silver per tonne over 3 metres, 1,465 equivalent grams silver per tonne over 1.8 metres and 2,545 equivalent grams silver per tonne over 1.3 metres.

All of the eight holes in Condor’s 1,200-metre drill program were drilled from a single platform and tested the down-dip extension of vein mineralization below the historic Santa Ana mine tunnels.

Prospecting and rock-chip sampling of vein material by Condor between 2012 and 2014 returned assays as high as 11 grams gold per tonne and 2,820 grams silver. Chip samples from outcrops in 2013 and 2014 returned 68 grams gold and 422 grams silver, 48 grams gold and 81 grams silver, and 36 grams gold and 163 grams silver.

Santa Ana contains four pastproducing mines: La Porfia, El Dorado, La Manta and La Obdulia, according to a 2013 technical report

by Doublewood Consulting and Antediluvial Consulting, part of which relied on historic documents in Spanish.

Santa Ana’s polymetallic silvergold veins are described as “characteristic of an intrusion-related, silver-rich system later overprinted by a low-sulphidation epithermal system in a thrust and fold setting.”

CB Gold says it intends to advance the project towards a feasibility study by delineating high-grade vein resources that can be exploited by underground mining methods.

Initial work will range from compiling data to detailed underground mapping, underground channel sampling, and prioritizing targets for drifting and surface and underground diamond drilling.

Under the deal, CB Gold is buying 100% of Santa Ana in exchange for $250,000 in cash and 8.1 million shares of its common stock (which at 10.5¢ per share is worth $850,000), and a 2% net smelter return royalty (NSR). CB Gold has the right of first refusal on any sale of the royalty and can buy 1% of the NSR at any time for $500,000.

Elsewhere in Colombia, CB Gold owns the Vetas gold project, where over 71,000 metres of diamond drilling have been completed and more than 177 intersections re-

turned gold grades of more than 5 grams gold per tonne. Highlighted assays include 325 grams gold over 2.1 metres, 507 grams gold over 0.7 metre and 104 grams gold over 2.5 metres.

Meanwhile, CB Gold’s major shareholder, Red Eagle Mining, owns 100% of the San Ramon gold mine and mill, which are fully permitted and financed. (Red Eagle closed a US$60-million construction credit facility in April 2015.)

San Ramon is a single shear zone in Red Eagle’s 100 sq. km Santa Rosa gold project, an intrusivehosted, structurally controlled quartz stockwork system in the Antioquia Batholith, 70 km north of Medellin.

The shear zone extends over 2 km, is up to 50 metres wide and is mineralized from surface. Red Eagle expects San Ramon will produce 70,000 oz. gold next year, at cash costs of US$596 per oz. and all-in sustaining costs of US$670 per oz. gold.

At US$1,300 per oz. and a 5% discount rate, the project’s posttax internal rate of return is an estimated 53%, and its net present value is US$104 million. The company expects to pay off its US$74 million in capex in just over a year.

San Ramon also has exploration potential, according to the company, because the deposit is open at strike to the east and also at depth, and reserves have only been delineated to 250 metres deep.

Red Eagle’s major shareholders include: Liberty Metals and Mining Holdings (19%); Stracon GyM (14%), a leading Latin American contract miner builder and operator; Orion Mine Finance (11%); Ross Beaty (5%); and directors (5%).

Balit notes that the Santa Ana acquisition is part of a strategy to “roll up interesting projects in Colombia that we think can be mines,” adding that “we want to find projects with gold and silver that are low cost and low technical risk.”

He points out that the Santa Ana acquisition not only drove shares of CB Gold higher (to a 52-week high of 15¢), but had a positive impact on Red Eagle Mining’s shares, which closed 6% higher at 86¢ apiece.

“This acquisition seems to have reminded investors of Red Eagle Mining’s first-mover advantage,” and the fact that the company “is bringing the first modern mine in Colombia into production later this year.” TNM
