rizona Mining (TSX: AZ) shares slightly recovered on promising assays from the Taylor zinc-lead sulphide deposit at its Hermosa property, following a sharp decline after a mining publication raised concerns about the marketability of Taylor’s zinc concentrates, before sliding again. Located 10 km from the town of Patagonia and 80 km southeast of Tucson, Ariz., the high-grade zinc deposit contains 28.3 million indicated tonnes grading 10.9% zinc equivalent and 75 million inferred tonnes at 11.1% zinc equivalent, using a 4% zinc equivalent cut-off grade. Exploration success at Taylor this year coupled with higher zinc prices have skyrocketed the company’s shares. On Dec. 7, the stock touched a 52-week high of $3.49, up 947% from its 2015 close of 32.5¢. A day earlier the company had closed a $36-million bought deal with underwriters led by Scotia Capital, National Bank Financial, RBC Capital Markets, TD Securities and Raymond James. It sold 11.8 million shares at $3.05 apiece. Arizona shares, however, spiralled downward after the Global Mining Observer (GMO) claimed Taylor’s zinc concentrates contained too much manganese — possibly making them unsalable.

recent flurry of deals has almost doubled Probe Metals’ (TSXV: PRB) land position at its Val-d’Or East project in Quebec, and the latest set of assay results suggest why. Earlier in December, the junior announced two property transactions on the same day. In one it acquired a 100% interest from QMX Gold (TSXV: QM X) and its joint-venture partner in the Bonnefond North property, which extends Probe’s land package south of its Val-d’Or

East project. The new ground is along strike of Probe’s New Beliveau deposit, which sits around and underneath the past-producing underground Beliveau mine. The former mine, operated by Cambior from 1989

until 1993, produced 170,000 oz. gold at a grade of 3.15 grams gold per tonne. Probe’s New Beliveau deposit has an inferred resource of 9.1 million tonnes grading 2.63 grams gold per tonne for 770,000 contained oz. gold. Of that, 330,000 oz. at 2.4 grams gold are in-pit resources, and 394,000 oz. at 3.1 grams gold are underground. In a second deal, Probe signed an option and joint-venture agreement with Alexandria Minerals (TSXV: AZX) to earn up to 70% of 232 mining claims spread across 72 sq. km that it also plans to fold into its Val-d’Or East project.

The claims are 10 km south of the Beliveau mine on Probe’s Vald’Or East project, 25 km southeast of Val-d’Or. They also contain the Sleepy gold project, which has an inferred resource of 1.9 million tonnes grading 5.1 grams gold for 307,350 oz. gold. The resource was based on 45 drill holes totalling 20,665 metres. The Sleepy deposit is a disseminated gold-pyrite resource, 550 metres long by 575 metres deep, with an average 4.1-metre width. The resource is hosted in the Vicour gabbro sill, a discrete 8 km long body that also hosts the past-producing Sigma 2 mine. The Sigma 2 mine produced 1.8 million tonnes grading 2.7 grams gold in the early 1990s. “It’s good to do land consolidation early before you unlock too much value,” Probe Metals’ CEO David Palmer says. Palmer’s early claim to fame was selling Probe Mines’ Borden Lake gold project in Ontario to Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) for $526 million in March 2015. He headed Probe Mines from 2003 until its sale to Goldcorp. Palmer won the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Bill Dennis Award for a Canadian mineral discovery in 2015, as well as this newspaper’s Mining Person of the Year Award. In 2014, the geologist was named prospector of the year in Ontario, and won the CIM A.O. Dufresne Exploration Achievement Award. Probe Metals’ latest land deals, announced on Dec. 1, follow news in September that the management team acquired a 100% stake from Richmont Mines (TSX: RIC; NYSEMKT: RIC) in six mining claims west of the New Beliveau deposit. “These transactions suggest management has sufficient confidence in their drill results to buy more assets,” George Topping, an analyst at IA Securities, said in a research note on Dec. 5. “This is a positive harbinger of things to come from Probe.” Topping’s commentary proved prescient. In the latest batch of assay results released on Dec. 6, Probe reported that further definition and delineation of the east- to west-trending, gold-bearing quartztourmaline vein system has resulted in finding a high-grade gold zone

hosted by a diorite dike, and is similar in style to that of the Beliveau mine. Infill hole 90 returned a 7.3-metre intercept grading 12.6 grams gold per tonne. The mineralization, Probe said, was intersected consistently between 400 and 800 metres deep, and could represent a new gold zone. (The same hole returned a shallow intercept of 2 grams gold over 143 metres, starting at 15 metres deep.) Holes 91 and 94 intersected the high-grade zone, too, and returned 3.5 metres of 8 grams gold starting at 681 metres and 4.2 metres of 9.7 grams gold starting at 809 metres. The true width of these zones is unknown, but the company says the presence of strong mineralization in the diorite dike at these depths shows that the east–west feeder system is active at these levels and bodes well for further expansion along strike, away from the dike, at these depths. Results from the first-phase drilling program are encouraging, the company says, and show potential for both near-surface bulk tonnage and deeper, higher-grade mineralized systems. The drill results also indicated continuous gold mineralization and the potential for mineralization laterally to the west and east of mineralization. Probe acquired Val-d’Or East through its business combination in April with Adventure Gold. “We learned a lot from Borden, it kind of helped us build a template, and what you needed for a successful project, and Val-d’Or East was a project that ticked all the boxes,” Palmer says. “It was all about the ability to expand an existing resource. That was a critical parameter in our project generation model and it was surprising to see how many resources out there that don’t have potential to expand, and Val-d’Or East had it. The more layers we peeled back in the due diligence, the better it got, and we definitely saw the potential to expand this thing.” The geologist adds that he likes “underappreciated” and “neglected areas,” and that there was hardly any geophysics or early stage exploration done on the project. “We’ve got a resource open to expansion and grassroots potential all around an old mine site, and it really intrigued us,” he says. “It’s funny to find that in a major Canadian

mining camp, there’s a portion of it that has been underappreciated, and that’s what we found on the east side of Val-d’Or.” Probe kicked off a 10,000-metre drill program on Aug. 10 and began seeing interesting features in the core. What was really encouraging, Palmer says, is that what was intended to be infill drilling resulted in finding new mineralization in the first seven or eight holes. When Cambior operated the Beliveau mine in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the company was mining a north- to south-trending, vertically dipping diorite dike, Palmer says. It had wide mineralization that Cambior could mine in an underground, bulk-tonnage scenario, using longhole open stopes, which was both cheap and profitable, Palmer says. Cambior was mining the north trending dike. The mine consisted of a number of high-grade lenses within the dike, and every time the vein system hit a dike they would get a high-grade envelope, and because the veins were so close together they got a bunch of high-grade zones. Between them, however, was lowgrade material, so it made sense to mine them all as one zone, which was much cheaper and more profitable. What they eventually mined was an average of 3.2 grams per tonne in a bulk-tonnage, underground scenario. “Although that would typically be considered low grade for underground mining, the thickness of it and the fact that it was vertical made it the most profitable operation for Cambior at the time, and even today at that grade it would work,” Palmer says. “So it was a question of grade over mining costs, and mining costs won out.” What Adventure Gold found — and the premise for the junior picking up the project from Iamgold (TSX: IMG; NYSE: IAG) in 2008 (Iamgold had acquired Cambior) — was to look outside the mine footprint. Adventure Gold found the east–west vein system, Palmer says, which is a hallmark of Val-d’Or, and that’s when Adventure started to build out its 770,000 oz. gold resource. That resource, completed in 2013, was based mostly on the east to west system.

“It turns out that it’s a feeder for the mineralization in the dike, so the dike didn’t come in mineralized, it was the east–west system that introduced the mineralization,” Palmer says. “We’ve got two northto south-oriented vertical dikes, and the east- to west-trending veins that crosscut them. The east–west structure consists of a parallel system of stacked veins.” Palmer estimates that within 200 metres of surface there are probably 10 to 12 veins stacked parallel to each other. “What Cambior found when they were mining the vertical dike was that as they went north, they cut higher grade,” he says. “We thought that if the east–west system feeds the dike, maybe those east–west veins get higher grade to the north as well.” Hole 90 was designed to test the east- to west-trending vein system to see if it was higher grade in the northern sections. It was at the edge of the resource, not to increase volume in the gold resource, but rather to improve grade. “We drilled a sub-vertical hole to go to 500 metres deep, and at 400 metres, we hit the new dike,” Palmer says. “Nobody knew it was there and it turns out to be mineralized just like the old Cambior mine, so this infill hole designed to improve grade found a gold zone at depth, in a vertical-dipping dike, which is an ideal underground mining scenario. We hadn’t planned to expand within the perimeter of the resource, but we were, and now we see expansion potential within the current resource.” One of the important implications, he adds, is that Probe is hitting gold between 400 and 700 metres deep. “Before this, we thought the mineralized system only went down to 400 metres. Now we have proved that it is much bigger, and we’re probably seeing stacked veins down to 800 metres, and this means the system could be more robust than we thought it was, and bodes well for expansion and continuation for a significant strike length along the east–west system,” he says. “Hopefully this means we find even more dikes, and more open pit and underground mineralization than we thought.” The mineralization is interesting, too, he notes. “It’s diorite dike with disseminated pyrite, but the pyrite is cubic — and usually when you see cubic pyrite, you think that there’s no interest because it’s not the typical morphology for pyrite in most gold deposits. It usually indicates recrystallization ... you think there is not much potential for gold, but it turns out it’s the ore horizon. And it’s very, very distinct, so when you’re drilling though it you know exactly when you are in the gold horizon, you just don’t know grade.” The mineralization is distinct, he adds, with quartz-tourmaline hosting sulphides and pyrite, and an alteration halo that is twice the

thickness of the vein. Drilling at the Val-d’Or East project has shown mineralization widths ranging from 60 to 300 metres, and typically averages between 1 gram gold and 3 grams gold per tonne. In addition to the drilling, the company has completed the first phase of a property-scale, induced polarization (IP) survey, which is being interpreted. Probe plans to drill-test the new IP anomalies in the first quarter of next year, and add a new drill. As well as staking more ground in the area, in July Probe showed its confidence in the Val-d’Or East project by buying back 20% net proceeds of production royalty on mineral claims at the project from Vaaldiam Mining Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Orion Resource Partners LP. “It’s interesting that you can still find these things, and it highlights the fact that we have an expansive country, an expansive amount of exploration potential — and there are still opportunities in Canada to find exciting areas that can be explored,” Palmer says. “Borden was a classic example of where people thought there couldn’t be any gold, and it turned out to be a multimillionounce deposit.” Probe has drilled 19 holes, or 9,000 metres, and no longer thinks that it will cut off the program at 10,000 metres. “Given the results, it’s a question of adding drills,” he says. “We’ve got two drills and hopefully by late January we’ll have a third. We’ll just keep drilling until we run out of ore.” The junior’s shareholders include Goldcorp — which owns a 14% stake — as well as AGF Investments, Caisse de dépôt, Picton Mahoney, Windermere Capital, Sprott Asset Management, U.S. Global Investors, Libra Advisors, J Zechner Associates and Sidex.

Probe’s chairman, Jamie Sokalsky, is also a director of Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM), and served as president and CEO of Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) between 2012 and 2014. Before that, Sokalsky was Barrick’s chief financial officer from 1999. Over the last year, the junior’s shares have traded in a range of 33¢ to $2.18, and at press time traded at $1.17. The company has 85.5 million shares outstanding for a $100-million market capitalization. Probe has $30 million in cash and investments. Topping of IA Securities has a 12-month price target of $2.50 per share. The analyst has a “speculative buy” rating on the stock, “given the management team’s record, highly prospective property, with an existing resource, property location and strategy of proving up a resource attractive to senior producers.” TNM

EnGold explores for high-grade gold at Lac La Hache BC GOLD

| Drilling uncovers gold-bearing structure 400 metres long and 600 metres deep

BY LESLEY STOKES

lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

ecent drill results from EnGold Mines’ Aurizon South gold-copper-silver zone, 14 km from the town of Lac La Hache in central B.C., is casting a renewed light on structurally controlled, high-grade gold systems in a region known for its copper-gold porphyry deposits. The 3,000-metre program has extended a gold-bearing structure to a 400-metre strike length and 600-metre vertical depth, with intercepts such as 14.3 grams gold per tonne, 2.3 grams silver per tonne and 0.2% copper over 1 metre, and 8 grams gold, 4.7 grams silver and 0.2% copper over 2 metres. EnGold president and CEO David Brett says the extension of the Aurizon South zone speaks to the “overlooked potential” of the company’s Lac La Hache property, despite it having been picked at by explorers for decades. “Our property is historically known for its copper potential. It has copper-gold porphyries, a copper-magnetite skarn that we’ve outlined in a resource, and it’s in a region with a lot of open-pit, copper-gold mines, like Mount Polley, New Afton and New Prosperity. It’s always been explored with that bulktonnage, porphyry model in mind, but it’s never been recognized for its porphyry-related, high-grade gold systems that could be more amendable to underground mining,” he tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview. The company changed its name from GWR Resources earlier this year, signalling a shift in focus from copper to gold. “A lot of what you’d consider ‘small’ underground gold miners have really come into their own in recent years. You can build a company that’s worth half a billion dollars based on a high-grade

underground gold mine, because they’re low cost, low capex and you can bring them on-stream faster,” he says. “It used to be the bigger the better, but now the smaller deposits are attracting more attention, and we think Aurizon is how we’re going to build a mid-tier company.” Across EnGold’s 183 sq. km property, a number of prospects dot along a 10 km long belt of intrusive rocks that pierce through the volcanic and sedimentary cover. Previous exploration focused on the Spout magnetite-copper skarn deposit, which hosts 7.6 million indicated tonnes of 11.4% magnetite and 0.3% copper, and 15.8 million inferred tonnes of 8.3% magnetite and 0.2% copper, whereas a number of other skarn- and porphyry-style prospects on the property have been found to date. In 2007, the company drilled a discovery hole at Aurizon South, which intersected 26 metres of 6.3 grams gold, 4.8 grams silver and 0.9% copper from 316 metres deep, within a hematitic breccia cutting into a potassic-altered monzonite. Follow-up drilling outlined the prospect as two zones — Central

and South — both occurring as sub-vertical, hydrothermal breccias offset by younger, post-mineral faulting. Robert Shives, vice-president of exploration, tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview that Aurizon was first explored as a bulk-tonnage copper target. “In its earliest drilling, perhaps it wasn’t recognized for what it was,” Shives says. “At the time, drill core samples were often lumped as 3-metre intervals, so some of the gold intercepts could be higher than what they are.” Shives says that South is shaping up to be a “consistently mineralized, planar structure,” whereas brittle faulting of Central has made the zone hard to follow. The gold is occasionally enveloped within broad, low-grade copper mineralization, as recorded in a 172-metre intercept of 0.3% copper, 0.42 gram gold per tonne and 1.7 grams silver over 500 metres deep. A number of oblique-trending and narrow quartz veins carrying visible gold have also been intercepted in recent drilling, with grades of 263 grams gold, 90.5 grams silver and 1.7% copper over 0.1 metre. “Over the past four years we’ve built a robust geological model that’s standing up quite well to our recent results. What we’re seeing now is gold in veins and breccias, and that’s telling us that perhaps there’s a later silicification event that introduced gold,” he says. “As we go deeper we’re finding wider zones and the grades are increasing, so we may be looking at more tonnes with depth.” Much of EnGold’s blue sky at Aurizon stems from a soil sampling program completed in 2010, which outlined a 2 km long, north-trending gold-in-soil anomaly extending from the Central zone into the South zone and beyond. “The Central and South zones make up the strongest gold-in-soil anomaly on the property. The anomaly appears to weaken 100 metres from where we’re drilling, but when we were trenching the area we found a large deposit of glacial clay, and that will suppress most geochemical signatures. We know the anomaly continues intermittently for another kilometre, so we’re encouraged that we can extend this gold-bearing structure even farther.” The company recently closed an

oversubscribed, $1.1-million private placement, in which it issued 5.5 million flow-through units at 20¢ per unit. Each unit has a share and a warrant, exercisable within two years at 30¢ per share. “We have the funds to continue exploration without dilution, and that’ll allow us to go forward into

a late winter program and follow up with more surface and drilling work next year,” he says. EnGold shares have traded in a 52-week range of 3¢ to 19¢, and traded at 14¢ at press time. The company has 168.4 million shares outstanding for a $24-million market capitalization. TNM

GROUP PUBLISHER/ PUBLISHER: Anthony Vaccaro, CFA, MBA avaccaro@northernminer.com EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: John Cumming, MSC (GEOL) jcumming@northernminer.com

O P- E D

10. Rubicon’s hubris — Rubicon Minerals kicked off the year with a shocker: at its Phoenix gold mine under construction in Ontario’s Red Lake camp, contained gold ounces in the indicated resource category had plunged 91% from a 2013 resource estimate, while contained gold ounces in the inferred category had fallen 86%. The company halted all work and spent the rest of the year in restructuring mode to stave off bankruptcy. 9. Renewed bullishness over Argentina — With the pro-business former mayor of Buenos Aires Mauricio Macri assuming the presidency of Argentina in December 2015, the first half of 2016 was filled with optimism that Argentina would be more welcoming of foreign investment in its underdeveloped but promising mining sector. Macri moved quickly to reverse previous administrations’ 10year interventionist course with removal of currency and investment restrictions and the settlement of past debt disputes, but many wonder about a coming backlash. 8. Miserable uranium — Uranium touts will go on about nuclear power plants under construction in Asia giving support to uranium prices, but the reality is that 2016 was the worst year for uranium prices in 11 years. At press time, the spot price for uranium oxide at www.uxc. com was only US$18.74 per pound. Mid-year, Cameco tabled its worst quarter financially since 2005, with CEO Tim Gitzel lamenting: “I can say that this [second quarter] has probably been the toughest quarter in the toughest market we’ve seen in the last decade, and our results reflect just how challenging the environment is … uranium demand remains low and prices are very depressed.” 7. Potash troubles and a mega-merger — Potash prices likewise suffered from oversupply in 2016, but Canada’s two biggest fertilizer companies Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan and Agrium dug deep and responded with a US$36-billion merger proposal in September that will create Canada’s third-largest natural resources company. 6. Surprise recovery in gold, iron ore and met coal — Sometimes it’s easy to forget just how bleak the markets looked in January 2015, but the introduction of “negative interest rates” in major economies around the world lit a fire under gold prices, driving spot prices as high as US$1,365.40 per oz. in mid-2016 from lows of US$1,060 per oz. six months earlier. Even more surprising was the doubling in iron ore and metallurgical coal prices in sustained rallies over the year. 5. M&A — Two more themes that emerged in mergers and acquisitions in 2016 were major Western companies unloading higherrisk assets in developing countries, mostly for cash (e.g., Batu Hijau, Tenke Fungurume, Eldorado’s Chinese assets ) and decent-sized miners scooping up less-developed gold assets in Canada and other safe jurisdictions (e.g., Goldcorp buying Kaminak and Tahoe buying Lake Shore Gold). On the supplier side, the biggest deal was Komatsu’s industry-changing acquisition of Joy Global. 4. New diamond mines and giant stones — Canada welcomed two gold mines in 2016: De Beers and Mountain Province Diamonds’ Gahcho Kué mine in the Northwest Territories and Stornoway Diamond’s Renard mine in Quebec. The diamond scene was also livened up by Lucara Diamond’s mining of several shockingly large stones — the 1,109-carat Lesedi La Rona and the 813-carat Constellation diamonds — made possible by new processing technology that doesn’t destroy larger stones. 3. Mineral discoveries — While there continued to substantive mineral discoveries made around the world in 2016, three that stick out are Ivanhoe Mines’ Kamoa-Kakula copper find in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Agnico Eagle Mines’ timely Amaruq gold discovery in the Northwest Territories and NexGen Energy’s monster uranium resource at Arrow in northern Saskatchewan. 2. Trump rally — Donald J. Trump’s surprise victory in the U.S. presidential election in November boosted global markets, with the greenback hitting 14-year highs, and the U.S. stock market surging, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average roaring towards 20,000 — a level it has never surpassed. The Trump rally extended to major industrial metals, particularly copper and zinc, which are now trading at US$2.50 per lb. and US$1.19 per lb. to the relief of long-suffering base metal miners. 1. Fort McMurray wildfires — The city of Fort McMurray, Alta. — ground zero of Canada’s massive oilsands industry and thus one of the country’s largest mining centres — was swept up in May by a beast of a forest fire that forced the evacuation of the entire 88,000 population, destroyed 2,400 homes and buildings, and closed many oilsands facilities. Alberta suffered a triple whammy in 2016 of wildfires, low oil prices and a provincial government hostile to the oil industry. Calgary has seen its unemployment levels soar above 10% this year — the highest level among major cities in Canada. TNM BY JOHN CUMMING

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

| Just who can claim discovery of the copper deposit in B.C.?

am writing in reference to the Odds ‘n’ Sods article “Doda, Dink and Zoran” by Dr. Harold Linder (T.N.M., Dec. 3–11/16). The author’s biography at the end states that “Dr. Harold Linder is an exploration geologist who has worked on all seven continents and is now retired in Anthem, Arizona. He discovered the giant, unmined Schaft Creek porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit in northern B.C. in 1968 for Hecla Mining Company.” The second statement is not true. The Schaft Creek deposit was discovered in May 1957 by Nick Bird, a prospector working for the BIK Syndicate, under the supervision of William St. Clair Dunn, P.Eng., the superintendent of exploration for Silver Standard Mines Ltd. This information is documented in CIM Special Volume 15, 1976, “Porphyry Deposits of the Canadian Cordillera,” page 219, “Schaft Creek History.” At the end of the summer of 1957 after a significant trenching program, Mr. Dunn estimated there was a resource of 330 mil-

lion tons grading 0.35% copper equivalent on the property. His last global estimate for Schaft Creek in the 1990s was 3.3 billion metric tonnes of 0.35% copper equivalent. Hecla optioned the property from Silver Standard but did not exercise their option and returned the property to Silver Standard. Silver Standard then optioned the property to ASARCO, which also did not exercise the option, and returned the property to Silver Standard. The property was then optioned to Teck, who earned a 70% interest in the property. Silver Standard sold its residual interest to Teck in the 1980s. Dr. Linder’s contribution was to recognize the size and type of the Schaft Creek deposit and convince Hecla to option the property, and carry out a few summers’ work on it. I am certain that Dr. Linder would agree with the above summary. Wiliam Walton Dunn, P.Eng. David St. Clair Dunn, P.Geo. Via email

Discovering mineralization vs a deposit LETTER TO THE EDITOR

| An important distinction

n response to the Dunns’ above letter on Schaft Creek, it is unfortunate that the Dunns apparently have not had the opportunity to read the 32-page chapter on Schaft Creek in my memoir, Wild Places: The Adventures of an Exploration Geologist. There I give a detailed history of the discovery of Schaft Creek and my work there between 1968 and 1974. An even more detailed history and description is given in my original paper, “Geology of the Schaft Creek porphyry coppermolybdenum deposit, northwestern B.C.,” in the CIM Bulletin, June 1975. Both give full credit to Nick Bird for discovery of the mineralization at Schaft Creek in 1957. The ownership sequence mentioned in the Dunns’ letter is incorrect. After Silver Standard drilled three holes on the property in 1965, Asarco optioned the property and drilled 26 holes in 1966–1967 and dropped its option. The holes I drilled for Hecla in 1968, DDH 30-38, discovered and began to outline the Main and South breccia deposits. Hecla optioned the adjoining Paramount ground, on my recommendation, and my drill hole P2 discovered the North Breccia deposit on Paramount claims in 1969. On page 307 of Wild Places there is a photograph of my friend Nick Bird and myself at Schaft Creek in 1980. The caption reads in part, “Nick Bird, prospector, discovered the mineralization at Schaft Creek in 1957 and staked the original Bird

MOST EXPLORATION GEOLOGISTS WOULD AGREE THAT DISCOVERY OF MINERALIZATION AND DISCOVERY OF A DEPOSIT ARE USUALLY TWO SEPARATE, BUT RELATED EVENTS. Group claims while working for the BIK Syndicate. Harold Linder discovered the Schaft Creek deposit in 1968 as project manager for Hecla Mining Co., and continued as consulting geologist from 1969 to 1974.” Most exploration geologists would agree that discovery of mineralization and discovery of a deposit are usually two separate, but related events, as shown by the 11-year gap (1957–1968) at Schaft Creek. The gold deposit that I discovered in the Castle Mountains of southern California had a gap of 79 years (1907–1986) between discovery of gold mineralization by James Hart and the Hitt brothers in 1907, and my discovery of a major gold deposit in 1986.

Eco Oro files for arbitration against Colombian gov’t REGULATIONS

| ‘Arbitrary, inconsistent and disproportionate state measures’ destroyed Colombian investment

BY TRISH SAYWELL

tsaywell@northernminer.com

co Oro Minerals (TSX: EOM) claims the Colombian government has eviscerated its US$250-million investment in the country and is filing for international arbitration. The Vancouver-based junior has been developing its Angostura goldsilver project in Colombia since the mid-1990s (under its previous moniker Greystar Resources), outlining 3 million oz. gold that it hoped it would extract from an underground mining operation. Eco Oro president and CEO Mark Moseley-Williams declined to be interviewed about the matter, but the company said in a press release that the dispute involves “arbitrary, inconsistent and disproportionate state measures that have destroyed the value of its investments in the Colombian mining sector.” The saga apparently began in December 2014, when the national government delineated the paramo of Santurban — a grassland ecosystem found below the snowline and above the treeline in the country’s Andean regions. According to Eco Oro, the resolution provided that mining could take place in certain areas within the paramo called “mining-permitted restoration areas,” subject to stricter environmental controls. Eco Oro was “pleased” the government had finally declared the boundaries of the paramo and said that “with the uncertainty relating to the boundaries now out of the way,” management “will proceed with reassessing how the Angostura project will be developed. “The company’s initial assessment indicates that the Santurban paramo may affect to some limited extent the development of the Angostura deposit, as previously envisioned by the company,” it added. The company stated that its reassessment of how the Angostura project would be developed,

given the delineation of the paramo, would include evaluating technoeconomic parameters such as cut-off grade, production rates, mining and metallurgical approaches, access to adjacent and at-depth resources and infrastructure layout. Eco Oro said that it intended the 100%-owned project would “become an exemplary mining and investment project in the area of Santurban.” After the announcement, Eco Oro directed its technical advisory committee in January 2015 to coordinate an internal technical review to confirm mine capacity, project infrastructure and processing enhancements. In April 2015, Eco Oro retained Micon International Ltd. to prepare an updated mineral resource on the project to incorporate largely infill drilling that had not been included in the 2012 preliminary economic

assessment. It also retained the services of Chile’s NCL Ingeneria y Construccion S.A. to reassess the project’s underground mine capacity. The study, the company said, would “establish a production rate that is sustainable and contributes to a reduced project footprint, while maintaining optimum levels of potential precious metal production. Meanwhile, Eco Oro reviewed and prioritized near-deposit exploration targets. The company completed an updated resource estimate in June 2015 outlining a measured and indicated resource of 2.21 million oz. gold (15.1 million tonnes grading 4.57 grams per tonne) and an inferred resource of 1.03 million oz. gold (6.9 million tonnes averaging 4.70 grams gold per tonne). The resource was based on information from 1,068 diamond drill

holes in 363,000 metres of drilling and used a cut-off grade of 2.5 grams gold per tonne. The gold and silver deposit — characterized as a structurally controlled high-sulphidation epithermal gold deposit — remains open at depth. Things looked bad, however, in February 2016, when Colombia’s Constitutional Court ruled that no mining could take place in areas defined as paramo. In March 2016, Eco Oro notified the government that the court decision contravened the free trade agreement between Canada and Colombia, and that if an acceptable settlement was not reached within six months, it would consider submitting the dispute to international

arbitration. In July 2016, Colombia’s National Mining Agency (NMA) notified Eco Oro that it needed to pay its annual canon on its concession, but that the payment should be made only to 49.3% of the area, because the rest fell within the Santurban paramo preservation area. This development was followed in August 2016 by news that the NMA had denied the company’s May 2016 application for a two-year extension of the exploration phase of its principal mining title. The company stated that the resolution “deprives the company of its mining rights in respect of 50.7% of the concession area that falls within the preservation zone of the Santurban paramo.” The Eco Oro case follows an arbitration notice filed earlier this year by Cosigo Resources (CVE: CSG.H) and Tobie Mining & Energy Incorporated. In a statement of claim dated Feb. 19, Cosigo and Tobie Mining and Energy said they were seeking international arbitration regarding the “wrongful expropriation made without compensation and based in fraud,” of their Taraira South mining concession in Colombia’s Vaupes department, near the country’s border with Brazil. The companies say their mining concession “has been inoperable due to the placement” of a national park “over its location,” and are seeking US$16.5 billion in compensation. In a third case, Glencore (LON: GLEN) submitted a claim against the Colombian government at the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes under the 2006 Colombia-Switzerland bilateral investment treaty. The Anglo-Swiss mining giant’s claim revolves around a dispute involving its coal concessions in Colombia. TNM

DECEMBER 26, 2016–JANUARY 1, 2017 / THE NORTHERN MINER

M A R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / DECEMBER 12–16 Canada’s largest stock market weakened, after the U.S. Federal Reserve raised its short-term interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to between 0.5% and 0.75%. The spot gold price tumbled to a 10-month low of US$1,134.60 per oz., down 2.2% from the previous week. The S&P/TSX Composite Index retreated 0.4% to 15,252.90 points. The S&P/TSX Global Mining Index lost 5.4% to finish at 61.44, while the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index plunged 5.7% to 175.76. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for January rose 0.8% to settle at US$51.90 per barrel. OceanaGold shares fell 22¢ to $3.45, as 29.2 million shares changed hands, despite the company announcing a robust 2017 guidance. OceanaGold expects 2017 gold production of 550,000 to 610,000 oz. for a 35% year-over-year increase, due to the Haile gold mine operating shortly in South Carolina. Anticipated all-in sustaining costs are US$600 to US$650 per oz., which is down 15%. This reflects lower costs expected at the Didipio copper-gold mine in the Philippines and the inclusion of the Haile mine. Annual copper output should come in at 15,000 to 17,000 tonnes. Argonaut Gold sunk 35% to close at $1.60 per share. The drop came after the Mexican environmental authority Semarnat denied the environment impact assessment (MIA) for the company’s San Antonio gold project

in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Semarnat said it did not approve the MIA because it needed more information regarding possible impacts to the environment, particularly on the local aquifer, as well as more information on the project’s construction, operation and closure plans. Argonaut is assessing alternatives, including legal options and submitting an updated MIA. This news follows a recent positive ruling from the Federal Court on the past denial related to a zoning dispute, “which was found to be excused as a reason for denying the MIA,” Desjardins analyst Michael Parkin writes. “We should have a relatively clearer understanding by the second half of 2017 on the potential to develop this project.” Perseus Mining fell 34% to 37¢ per share, TSX MOST ACTIVE ISSUES

after updating the market on its West African gold mines and projects. Despite the recent operational improvements at the Edikan gold mine in Ghana, production suffered from the extended plant shutdown in October 2016 and lower-than-planned head grades. Perseus expects Edikan will produce between 70,000 and 80,000 oz. gold for the December 2016 half-year, compared to 80,000 to 100,000 oz. previously. All-in site costs should come in

between US$1,550 and US$1,650 per ounce. A revised resource estimate for the Sissingue project in Côte d’Ivoire has lowered the measured and indicated gold resource 20% to 700,000 oz., and inferred resources 8% to 58,000 oz. gold. Perseus says an internal review had found wet drill holes “with possible downhole contamination,” which could have overstated the “gold grade in specific holes or parts of holes.” TNM

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / DECEMBER 12–16 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index dropped 13.58 points, or 1.8%, to a 735.22-point close on weaker commodity prices. Spot gold prices fell US$24.98 per oz. gold to a 10-month low before closing at US$1,134.88 per oz., while Comex copper prices fell US9¢ to US$2.56 per pound. Shares of Metalore Resources gained 95¢ to $2.96 on stronger oil prices. The company has 81 producing gas wells in two townships in Norfolk County, Ont., and is preparing for a $1-million exploration program at its wholly owned Cedartree gold property near Sioux Narrows, Ontario. For the six months ending Sept. 30, the company gained $288,175 in natural gas revenues from producing 104,900 million British thermal units (MMBtu), up from 85,400 MMBtu in the same quarter last year. At Cedartree, earlier exploration outlined gold mineralization along fracture and shear zones that transect a dioritic dike or sill. In March 2012, the main shear zone held 2.1 million indicated tonnes of 1.36 grams gold per tonne and 2.2 million inferred tonnes of 1.36 grams gold, at a cut-off of 0.3 gram gold. The company also has a 21–26% interest with Greenstone Gold Mines, Centerra Gold and Premier Gold Mines’ Trans-Canada property in Ontario’s prolific BeardmoreGeraldton area.

First Mining Finance saw the most shares traded but fell 4¢ to 77¢ per share on 17.4 million shares as gold prices declined. On Dec. 1, the company announced a $21-million exploration and development budget for 2017, with a focus on its Goldlund and Springpole gold projects in northwestern Ontario, its Cameron gold project in northern Ontario and its Hope Brook gold project in Newfoundland. Tintina Mines led the greatest percentage change category, gaining 5¢, or 157.1%, to 9¢ per share. On Nov. 25, 1.3 million stock options with a 20¢ exercise price expired unexercised.

U.S. MARKETS / DECEMBER 12–16 The U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to raise its key interest rate 25 basis points to a range of 0.5% to 0.75% — its first rate hike since December 2015 — lifted the U.S. dollar but punished gold, with the price of the precious metal falling US$25 per oz., or 2.2%, to US$1,134.60 per ounce. The Fed said signs of a growing economy and expectations of higher inf lation inf luenced the decision, and signalled that there would be more rate increases during 2017. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4% to 19,843.41, while the S&P 500 Index dropped 0.1% to 2,258.07. The Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index lost 8.3% to finish at 73.41. Freeport-McMoRan was the most traded stock and fell US$1.92 to US$13.83 per share. The company sold its Deepwater Gulf of Mexico properties to Anadarko Petroleum for US$2 billion in cash. Under the agreement, FCX has the right to receive more proceeds of up to US$150 million, to be paid as Anadarko realizes cash f lows in connection with a third-party production handling agreement for the Marlin platform. Freeport expects to complete the previously announced sale of its onshore California oil and gas properties

in the Southern Hills of Carajas. S11D is just one block of an orebody that has been divided into four parts: A, B, C and D. Vale says the S11 orebody could hold 10 billion tonnes of iron ore. Block D alone contains reserves of 4.2 billion tonnes. TNM

GMV Minerals CEO discusses ‘unexpected’ target at Mexican Hat ARIZONA

| Company rethinks gold prospect as exploration results in discoveries

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

MV Minerals (TSXV: GMV; US-OTC: GMVMF) is shifting the narrative around its Mexican Hat gold property, 115 km east–southeast of Tucson, Arizona. Earlier this year the company was outlining a near-term production story underpinned by a large-scale, column leach metallurgical test, a 20-tonne bulk sample and indications of an upcoming preliminary economic assessment (PEA). After historic data review and prospecting, however, GMV’s team now has its eyes on a potential grassroots discovery at the Hernandez Hill target. The company acquired a 100% interest in Mexican Hat during the commodity downturn in 2014. The property was explored by Placer Dome through the early 1990s, but had gone through sporadic ownership without systematic exploration campaigns. Current resource modelling shows that the core concessions host 23.5 million inferred tonnes averaging 0.7 gram gold per tonne for 531,400 contained oz., at a cut-off grade of 0.2 gram gold. “We’re the first company that has really consolidated the entire package and all the historic drilling,” president and CEO Ian Klassen said during an interview. “With the technical work we have on the resource right now, we could be in a position to file a mine plan of operation and get into the regulatory process. As we’ve advanced our work programs on the property, however, we’ve come to realize that there’s quite a bit of potential to not only expand existing resources, but also in terms of discoveries,” he added. The company put together a $3-million, non-brokered private placement in August wherein it issued 5.8 million units priced at 50¢. A unit consists of a share and half a purchase warrant, with each full warrant is exercisable at 65¢ for 18 months. The story focused on development options at the time, and GMV outlined a 14-hole program to expand resources.

The current geological model at Mexican Hat defines mineralization that is structurally controlled by fault-fracture (joint) zones and related breccias, commonly found in alkaline volcanic rocks. Gold is found in the “free form within fractures” that are often hematite altered, and the outstanding resource is reportedly constrained to re-altered (hematized) fractures that crosscut Tertiary volcanic rocks. GMV initially targeted a southeast extension of the H2 zone, which has been traced for 600 metres along strike, and reported that its first four holes found “multiple structural zones with intense hematization,” though assays were pending at press time. The company uncovered something unexpected, however, during

soil geochemistry sampling to test areas covered with Quaternary sand deposits on Hernandez Hill, which lies 500 metres northeast of the Mexican Hat resource. GMV outlined a coincident mercury, antimony and arsenic anomaly, with anomalous gold values across the northeastern part of the survey. The combined material pathfinder geochemical signatures — including gold, and a broad area of silicification and alteration — could indicate a conventional epithermal target often found in the Basin and Range province of the southwestern United States. “Hernandez Hill is still based on soil samples, but if you dig into the technical details, you’ll see why we’re excited,” Klassen said. “We’ve sourced out epithermal experts familiar with this signature, and the

consensus has been: ‘Gentlemen, drill that immediately.’ The trick is figuring out where to collar the holes, but the upcoming lithogeochemistry and geophysics will help. We expect to have results [shortly].” The soil grid area hosts two topographic highs and includes areas of outcrop exposure, which is reportedly “otherwise rare, away from Mexican Hat hill itself.” The topographic highs are underlain by a well-fractured andesite that is silicified with chalcedony and opaline quartz. The soil sampling program is being expanded to the north to provide better coverage, while a lithogeochemical program of the silicified region is pending. GMV hopes to mobilize a diamond drill to the target in early 2017. “We started into this deal say-

ing: ‘No exploration. We have a near-term production story here,’” Klassen said. “An open-pit, heapleach opportunity remains in focus, and even if the Hernandez Hill discovery doesn’t yield ounces, we’re confident we are well on our way to expanding the resource with our step-out program. But I will say it is fun being involved in exploration again, and it’s certainly great that we can add that discovery theme to our story.” GMV shares have traded in a 52week range of 8¢ to 70¢ per share, and gained nearly 60% — or 18¢ — since July, en route to a 49¢-pershare close at press time. The company has 32.5 million shares outstanding for a $16-million market capitalization, and reported $3.7 million in net working capital at the end of September. TNM

Matamec splits gold and energy projects into two companies QUEBEC BY SALMA TARIKH starikh@northernminer.com

ontreal-based Matamec Explorations (TSX V: MAT) is dividing its gold and energy-related projects into two entities in hopes of gaining more traction among investors. “Our strategy is to split Matamec into two,” Andre Gauthier, the company’s president, said in a recent interview in Toronto. This makes it easier for investors because those with an appetite for gold exploration could stick with Matamec Explorations, which will be renamed Matamec Gold. Those interested in elements for technologies related to energy — such as rare earth elements (REE), lithium and cobalt — could invest in Matamec Energy, Gauthier says. Matamec has transferred its energy-related properties — including its feasibility-stage Kipawa heavy REE deposit in Quebec — into its subsidiary Matamec Energy. It aims to list the subsidiary on the TSX Venture Exchange in 2017, largely depending on financing. “We will cross our fingers that everything goes well,” Gauthier says. Matamec is in the midst of acquiring the Casa Berardi South and Troilus North gold projects, and the Lorraine nickel-cobaltplatinum-palladium-rhodium project from Greg Explorations. All three are in Quebec. The junior also aims to complete National Instrument 43-101 reports on all of its projects once it secures more financing for both of its companies. Matamec holds eight gold projects across Ontario and Quebec, including the two that it is in the process of acquiring. Of note, the Casa Berardi South gold property sits near Hecla’s (NYSE: HL) producing Casa Berardi gold mine in Quebec. Along the stratigraphic rock formations east of Goldcorp’s (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) Hoyle Pond gold mine in Timmins, Ont., Matamec holds a 1% net smelter return royalty on the new HMR property, a 50% interest in the Matheson joint-venture property and a 100% interest in the Pelangio property. It also holds two gold properties — 50% of the Sakami project and 100% of the Opinaca Gold West project — in the same geological setting as Goldcorp’s Éléonore gold mine in Quebec. Of the eight, Sakami is the most advanced. Drilling began on the project mid-year, where one of the best holes returned 4.94 grams gold per tonne over 21.1 metres within a wide, gold-bearing intersection of 2.52 grams gold over 48.6 metres from the northwest extension of Zone 25 (main zone). Me a nw h i l e , M a t a m e c E nergy holds four energy-related properties, including the Tansim lithium project, the Fabre cobalt-silver project, Lorraine and Kipawa. All four sit in southwestern Quebec. Matamec hopes to secure $5 million in financing for each of its two entities in 2017. The funds will bolster exploration work and technical reports. Gauthier notes the Kipawa joint venture already has $1.3 million committed for next year, which will go towards the $5 million

total for Matamec Energy. Matamec owns 72% of Kipawa and Ressources Québec — a subsidiary of Investissement Québec — owns 28%. Toyota Tsusho Corp. holds a 10% royalty on net profit in the deposit. An October 2013 feasibility study on Kipawa shows the project could produce 3,600 tonnes of mixed rare earth concentrate per year for 15 years. Estimated start-up costs are $374.4 million, with a 16.8% after-tax internal rate of return. After the study, Toyota chose to convert its 49% stake in Kipawa into a royalty, citing it could buy cheaper REE in China. However, the Quebec govern-

ment, recognizing the quality of the project, stepped in to help Matamec advance Kipawa, Gauthier says. Since 2013, Matamec has been optimizing the project’s metallurgy and process design, among other things, to improve costs. “Our target is to reduce capex from $380 million to $200 million and the operating expenditures from $80 million to $50 million a year,” Gauthier says. Matamec plans to complete its second mini pilot plant in 2017, and publish an updated feasibility study in late 2017 or early 2018. On Dec. 13, Matamec fell 11% to 4¢, within a 52-week range of 2¢ of 10.5¢. TNM

Arizona Mining’s Taylor zinc-lead project, 80 km southeast of Tucson, Arizona. ARIZONA MINING

Arizona shares tumble on speculation ARIZONA From 1

deposit to the infamous Bre-X Minerals scandal, likely causing some investors to sell. The stock lost 20% over three days. The company — led by Jim Gowans, formerly co-president of Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) — fired back the next day. Arizona called the article that GMO has since retracted “misleading.” It said the article implied that Hermosa’s Taylor and Central manganese-silver oxide deposits were the same deposit. Arizona said initial metallurgical work completed on different types of ore found at the Taylor deposit concluded the project could produce “marketable-grade lead and zinc concentrates.” The results — contained in the March 2016 technical report — indicate the Taylor deposit could generate two concentrates: a lead concentrate containing 0.1% manganese, and a zinc concentrate containing 1.3% manganese. Arizona says the smelter penalties for zinc concentrate contain 1.3% manganese at US$12 per tonne. Given that zinc concentrate costs over US$1,100 per tonne, Arizona says the penalty is “immaterial.”

On Dec. 14, GMO published a follow-up article suggesting that Arizona would again run into trouble with smelter penalties. The company shot back the same day. It reiterated it should have no problem selling the Taylor zinc concentrate to smelters, adding that smelters have already expressed interest in the project’s future supply of zinc concentrate. Since the first GMO article, Arizona shares plunged 65¢ over three trading days to close Dec. 14 at $2.66 per share. “Reasonable questions about the metallurgy of the Taylor deposit have, in some cases, devolved into unfounded speculation due to unsourced generalizations about base metal processing that prey on investors’ unfamiliarity with relatively complex science and

engineering practices,” Scotiabank analyst Trevor Turnbull notes. The manganese content varies throughout the Taylor orebody, which helps Arizona lower the manganese level by blending ore from different areas. This could allow the firm to lower the US$12per-tonne penalty, Turnbull says. As part of the work required for Taylor’s preliminary economic assessment (PEA) due at the end of March 2017, Arizona is refining the metallurgical work. It is also evaluating the possibility of adding froth washing to the zinc cleaners. “The biggest challenge is not the metallurgy, but rather overcoming the anti-mining lobby that will stage from the nearby community of Patagonia,” John Kaiser, author of Kaiser Research Online, said in an email.

“With regard to the manganese level, according to Jim Gowans, this is not a fatal flaw — simply an issue that has to be dealt with in the smelter arrangements for the concentrate,” Kaiser says. “Ironically, both issues become less important the bigger the project becomes. The key to becoming big is securing the ability to ramp into the deposit rather than rely on a shaft to hoist the ore.” If the company can do this, Kaiser says Taylor could become of “strategic importance to the metal supply future of the United States.” On Dec. 15, the company published another three exploration holes from its drill program at Taylor. The best result was from a step-out hole drilled 335 metres northwest of the boundary of the current resource. The hole cut several high-grade zinc-lead-silver veins, including a 10-metre interval returning 22.8% zinc, 20.2% lead and 381 grams per tonne silver. (The true thickness is still unknown.) So far, Arizona has published 37 holes from the drill program. It has 14 drill rigs infilling and expanding the Taylor deposit, which is open in all directions. Shane Nagel, an analyst at National Bank, writes that the results

since the October 2016 resource update have “averaged 3.7 metres grading 20.4% zinc-equivalent,” which is well above the resource’s current zinc equivalent grade. He models average annual production of 340 million lb. zinc at all-in sustaining costs of US20¢ per lb., net of by-product credits, over a 20-year mine life, starting in 2022. Nagel pegs initial capital at US$850 million. He expects Arizona will fund this through debt, equity and a silver-stream financing. The analyst adds the upcoming PEA should confirm his operating assumptions and provide more details on the proposed permitting timeline. Nagel models three years for permitting. According to the amended November 2016 technical report, it takes on average four years for the U.S. Forest Service to prepare an environmental impact statement. Arizona expects it can obtain its other permits during the same time. Arizona’s CEO Gowans was unavailable for comment. The latest drill results sent Arizona shares up 10¢ to $2.76 on Dec. 15, before closing the next day at $2.67. Year-to-date, the stock is up an astonishing 722%. TNM

El Cobre porphyry is Almadex’s priority COPPER-GOLD

| Almaden spin-off gets busy

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

lmadex Minerals (TSXV: AMZ; US-OTC: AXDDF) president and CEO Morgan Poliquin and his team are among the top mineral explorers in eastern Mexico, and they may have another impressive discovery on their handst. The company’s attention is locked on the El Cobre copper-gold porphyry discovery, 75 km northwest of the major port city of Veracruz, which generated promising drill intercepts earlier this year. The company is a spin-off from Almaden Minerals (TSX: AMM; NYSE-MKT: AAU), and has 20 properties and 20 royalties. The corporate restructuring separated earlier stage exploration assets from Almaden’s developmentstage, multimillion-ounce Ixtaca silver-gold project, 95 km north of Puebla city. Alsmaden is advancing Ixtaca towards a prefeasibility study, and could have its permits by early 2018. “Almaden is now really a singleasset development vehicle, and there’s an outcome where Ixtaca is acquired by someone else,” Poliquin said during an interview. “In that scenario there’d likely be a spin-out company, and we preferred to get out ahead of it and do it on our shareholders’ terms. Almadex has upside exposure to Ixtaca, while really clarifying the story ... for both companies,” he added. The new Almadex exploration vehicle turned its attention to El Cobre, where Almadex’s team had defined a “large multi-stage and phase porphyry system, with at least four centres located along more than 4 km of strike extent.” The four copper-gold porphyry targets at El Cobre — namely Los Banos, El Porvenir, Norte and Villa Rica — are defined by copper-gold soil anomalies, positive magnetic features and an “extensive” inducedpolarization (IP) chargeability

anomaly. Almadex’s priority was following up on promising drill intercepts dating back to 2008, which include 41.2 metres averaging 0.42 gram gold per tonne and 0.3% copper in hole 08-CBCN-022 at the Notre zone. The company’s efforts paid off in August when follow-up hole 16-10 cut 163.5 metres grading 0.68 gram gold and 0.3% copper from 153 metres deep. The intercept hit a zone of “intense” quartz stockwork veining, potassic alteration and copper-gold mineralization. “We’ve had a great run based on those results, and we think we’re on the fringes of a large porphyry centre, or centres. We’re seeing over 4 km of mineralization, so the key is to focus on where the core intrusive area of the system is located,” Poliquin said. “We’re drilling in a succession of volcanic rocks, and our interpretation is that the grades are constrained by lithology. There’s a horizontal distribution to the higher gold and copper grades, and the IP anomaly we’ve identified is increasing in strength as we move south. The data had pointed in that direction already, but these recent holes also fit that interpretation,” he said. Norte is located at the north end of a large area of intense hydrothermal alteration, high magnetics and chargeability geophysical responses, as well as a broad zone of anomalous gold, copper and molybdenum in soils. Mineralization is interpreted to be lithologically controlled and hosted by country rocks distal to the core of a porphyry system. Almadex intends to move south along a drill grid towards larger, untested targets like the Villa Rica zone. The company recently shipped a “more powerful drill” for its next round of exploration. Results from Norte released on Nov. 9 are highlighted by 38.5 metres of 0.55 gram gold and 0.2% copper from 275 metres deep in hole 16-13. “A systematic approach to drill is what’s needed at El Cobre, because

gold-porphyry systems are often different from large-scale copper systems. They tend to be much more discrete, so when you have the scale of geophysical anomaly we have, you can’t just drill a couple holes and feel like you’ve tested it,” Poliquin added. “We’re putting a drill program together that’s focused on stepping out and following up on that model.” Almadex’s shares have surged nearly 118%, or 82¢, since the news of the Norte discovery in August, en route to a $1.52 close at press time. The company has 44.3 million shares outstanding for a $66 million press-time market capitalization, and reported working capital of $8.5 million at the end of September. “We’ve had quite a run in our stock based on the discovery of this broad zone ... we’ve seen the markets retract a little bit, but we have a strong working capital position that gives us flexibility. There’s no urgency to raise money, but it would be prudent for us,” Poliquin said. TNM
