t’s tempting to say that Osisko Mining (TSX: OSK) is “back.”

The statement makes a great article hook, but in truth the bones of the company never went anywhere following a tumultuous bidding war two years ago that culminated in a $3.9-billion takeover by Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM) and Yamana Gold (TSX: YRI; NYSE: AUY).

When the smoke cleared, Osisko management stood atop a spin-out company with $155 million in cash, a 5% royalty on the crown-jewel Canadian Malartic gold mine in Malartic, Que., and a bevy of interests in earlier-stage exploration projects.

Questions inevitably arose over whether the core team — anchored

by The Northern Miner's 2009 “Mining persons of the Year” John Burzynski, Sean Roosen and Robert Wares — would slide comfortably into the royalty and streaming business with the newly-minted Osisko Gold Royalties (TSX: OR; NYSE: OR).

“It’s poetic in a sense because it was around two years ago we signed the documents on the sale of Canadian Malartic and turned the page on that chapter of our story,” current president and CEO Burzynski reminisces during an interview.

“We had sort of a mixed bag with royalties and assets we’d intended to advance and develop down the road, and a lot of people wondered whether we’d even go back to mining. We took a bit of a step back at that point because it had been a very emotional battle for us.”

Osisko had always viewed Canadian Malartic as a cornerstone asset that would lead to bigger things before a hostile bid from Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) triggered the often-cantankerous fight over the See OSISKO / 3

hen Mike Weeks first started nosing around for mineral concessions in Cambodia in late 2008 and early 2009, the typical reaction he got from people in the business was that he would be better off looking for assets in more developed mining jurisdictions like Nevada, or in parts of Canada, rather than in the small Southeast Asian nation.

But Weeks stuck to his guns and the strategy has put him at an advantage, he says, as the company he took public in October 2011, Angkor Gold (TSXV: ANK), has signed a handful of deals with large Asian companies that view Cambodia as a rich and convenient source of minerals right in their backyard.

In the past four years, Angkor Gold has closed on seven deals with a total value of US$15.6 million — the latest came with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. (Jogmec) signing on to explore the junior’s Oyadao South licence, which

hosts a copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry prospect.

Under the joint-venture exploration agreement, Jogmec can acquire 51% of the licence for a total US$3-million investment over three years. If Jogmec meets this target, the two companies would fund the project expenses on a pro-rata basis. Angkor will be the operator.

“Jogmec is a world leader in exploration and the Jogmec joint venture brings credence to both our company’s assets, as well as the industry at large in Cambodia,” Weeks says. “It should go a long

way to dispel any questions about whether serious players are interested in exploring what Cambodia has to offer.”

Weeks says that management has been working on the deal with Jogmec “for a long time” and had signed a letter of intent (LOI) three months ago, but adds, “I never announce LOIs, because if they fall through, or take three months to cross the finish line, people think there’s a problem.”

Jogmec’s reputation is “second to none” he continues, noting that as an independent administrative agency under Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, it has a mandate of investing in exploration projects around the world to secure a supply of natural resources for Japanese industry.

And Angkor is keen to work with the Japanese group. “We are looking for more ground because Jogmec wants more ground with us,” Weeks says. “They want to do a separate joint venture with us because they think their coppergold-moly play is a lot bigger than

that licence.”

In addition to Jogmec, Angkor Gold has signed two deals with a subsidiary of Indian steelmaker Mesco. In March 2013, Angkor sold the Phum Syarung prospect on its 300 sq. km Oyadao South Concession for US$1.2 million, and the company has a net smelter return royalty on all production from Phum Syarung.

Weeks says Mesco’s Cambodian subsidiary, Mesco Gold, is building the underground mine and waiting for its final permit to start production, which he expects any day now.

Once in production, Phum Syarung will be the country’s first modern, commercial gold mine.

“They’re working on their third horizontal adit and have finished their vertical adit, and they just commissioned a lab,” Weeks says.

“They’ll start bringing rock out of the ground as soon as they get the permit.”

Weeks notes that he just returned from a trip to Cambodia and met with the Minister of the Environment, who told him the EIA is in his technical department and is almost done. “He said he’ll sign it soon and the rest of the government has already said they’ll approve it, so how soon will it happen? I’d say soon.”

He explains that Mesco Gold built the operation quickly because rather than complete a resource estimate compliant with National Instrument (NI) 43-101 standards, the Indian company spent the money on construction. “In that part of the world they’re not so strict on stuff like that as in North America,” he says. “They did their own resource estimate that we couldn’t announce because it wasn’t NI 43-101 … to get a resource estimate we would have had to spend US$10 million on drilling, but they spent that on building the mine, and they don’t need as many drill holes to do a resource estimate. We drilled 19 holes and they did another seven, and then they started building the mine. We hit good resources in the area and they hit good resources in the area, and as they’re building the mine they’re proving it out even more, so they’re really happy.”

Angkor Gold completed a second deal with Mesco Gold earlier this year, signing a definitive jointventure agreement on its Oyadao

1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16_JULY4_Main .indd 2

North Concession on Jan. 12. Under this transaction, Mesco will spend US$1.3 million on exploration and Angkor keeps a 15% free-carried interest. Under a sliding scale, the next smelter return royalty (NSR) will be 2% when the gold price is less than US$1,000 per oz., and will increase 0.3% for every US$50 that the gold price exceeds US$1,000 per oz., up to a maximum 7.5%. For all other minerals, a 7.5% NSR will be applied. (A similar sliding-scale NSR applies to the Phum Syarung mine.)

Other deals with Asia-based companies include the sale in January 2013 of a large prospect on its Oyadao South Concession to a private Chinese company, Canxiang Mining, for US$2.4 million (Angkor did not retain a royalty on that deal), and a US$10.5-million strategic investment in April 2014 with a Chinese equity fund based in the city of Chengdu and incorporated in Hong Kong under Tohui Beishan Property Group Holding. Tohui includes a consortium of associates, including Beijing Explotech Engineering Co. Ltd., and the China Chemical Geology and Mine Bureau Shandong Geological Prospecting Institute.

venture deals on another licence — one with an Asian company and one with an Australian company — and Weeks says if all goes well an agreement could be announced in the next couple of months.

Angkor is the first publicly listed North American company in Cambodia and has seven exploration licences under its belt covering 1,448 sq. km (Cambodia’s total land mass measures 181,035 sq. km). The company has completed stream-sediment geochemical sampling on all of its tenements, and covered most of the ground with aeromagnetic surveys. It has drilled 22,000 metres of NQ core in 190 holes, in addition to numerous trenches and detailed geological field mapping.

Termite mounds have played a role in Angkor’s exploration efforts over the last seven years, too.

The company has collected more than 110,000 termite soil samples in over 20 centres of interest over a combined area exceeding 140 sq. kilometres. The termites dig down to the water table, and bring any mineralized soil back to the surface — making them a useful exploration tool.

“The termites are amazing ex-

“WE’VE GOT AN EXTREMELY LOYAL SHAREHOLDER BASE DUE TO OUR UNORTHODOX APPROACH AND THAT WE’RE HERE FOR THE LONG-TERM.” STEPHEN BUREGA VICE-PRESIDENT OF CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT, ANGKOR GOLD

Angkor also has an agreement with Vancouver-based Blue River Resources (TSXV: BXR) to explore Angkor's Banlung tenement. The recent deal gives Blue River the right to participate in up to a 50% interest in the Banlung licence after investing up to US$3.5 million on exploration over four years. (It can also choose other options, such as a 10% interest or a 40% interest.) If Blue River finishes a bankable feasibility study, its ownership stake would increase by 20%. Angkor Gold would keep a 30% free-carried interest if Blue River opts for the 70% stake, but Angkor can also convert that to a 5% NSR. Angkor found a gold anomaly at Banlung measuring 2 sq. km in October 2015.

The company is also closing joint-

plorers,” Weeks says, noting that on its Banlung tenement optioned to Blue River, for example, 80% of the samples taken from the termite mounds showed visible gold. “You get a sample all the way from the surface to the water table and over there it’s down five to six metres below surface, and the termites push some of the dirt up, and they also poop a lot out on the hill.”

Weeks notes that the company’s former vice-president of exploration, and now a consultant to the company, Adrian Mann, confirmed their use in Cambodia by taking regular soil samples from auger drilling in a particular location and plotting them on a graph and comparing the results from samples from the termite mounds in the same loca-

tion, and the results were identical.

Sampling termite mounds is also cost-effective, Weeks says, slashing costs down from US$30 per soil sample down to US$1 per termite mound sample.

So far Angkor has found three mineralized porphyry systems. Its latest discovery, the Halo coppermoly prospect optioned to Jogmec, covers an area of 1 km by 750 metres. When Halo was found in June 2015, the director and associate professor at the University of British Columbia’s Mineral Deposit Research Unit, Craig Hart, noted that Cambodia was not previously known for porphyry systems. (“The fact that Angkor has discovered three porphyry systems in a jurisdiction not previously known to host such deposits is a massive measure of success and a testament to a strong exploration team,” he said. “It also indicates the opportunities and upsides that are within Cambodia.”)

Cambodia has modelled its mining regulations on those of Western Australia, the company says. Permitting is fairly straightforward, the company says, as the country is keen to develop its mining sector.

Corporate taxes run to 30% and the government retains a 3% NSR on all mining operations.

Cambodia’s violent history, moreover, during the catastrophic dictatorship of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in decades past, has meant that only 10–15% of the country has been explored with modern methods, Weeks says.

“Their mining legislation is all new,” Stephen Burega, Angkor’s vice-president of corporate development, adds in an interview. “The infrastructure and the process associated with reviewing and issuing mining licences — no one has really gone through this before — so we’ve been quite impressed by how the government has handled it.”

Indeed, it has been just four years since Angkor identified the Phum Syarung prospect and then sold it to Mesco, and now the mine is on the verge of production.

“All of the international standards have been adhered to, so it’s been a great experience working closely with the government to see through this process for the first time, and now we’re weeks or months away,” Burega says. “We’re close to the finish line and once that mining licence is issued, Mesco will turn

the lights on within 30 days and begin mining, so for us it’s a huge milestone.”

Burega notes all Angkor's asset sales have been done without having completed resource estimates.

In Mesco’s case, he says, Angkor “drilled a few holes; did the surface work, geochem work and inducedpolarization work; and [Mesco] said: ‘We’ll take it.’ There was no need for us to go through the 43-101 preparation of reports because the suitors, those who we’re dealing with, aren’t interested in that. They’re interested in the facts: whether it’s mineable, and whether the country is safe.”

The company has also traded above its initial public offering price from day one, Burega adds. “We’ve weathered the worst cycle in most peoples’ careers — we’ve weathered it and done quite well — and we’ve got an extremely loyal shareholder base due to our unorthodox approach, and we’re here for the long-term.”

Of the company’s 90-millionplus shares outstanding, “twenty million is the float that we can’t identify, and the rest of it, some 70 million shares, is in hands that we can easily talk to,” Burega says.

About 25 million of those shares are held by management, with Weeks and his wife Delayne, the company’s founders, its two biggest shareholders. (Delayne is Angkor’s vice-president of corporate social responsibility.) Another 15 to 20 million are held by a small group of major shareholders, many of whom are based in Grande Prairie, Alta., where the Weeks live.

Weeks says he knew immediately that he wanted to work in Cambodia after his inaugural visit.

“We first went to Cambodia at the end of 2008 and I fell in love with the country, and fell in love with the people,” he says. “Years ago I was told to look at properties in other jurisdictions and came close to making a few deals, and right now I’m glad I didn’t, because the Japanese, the Chinese, the Koreans and the Indians really like Cambodia, and it’s in their backyards.”

Not only that, Weeks says, but after years of working on relationships and building community support, Angkor is “looked at as the best company in the country.”

“We develop our properties, we work with the local people, we hire local people and we work hard on our social development programs.” TNM

Goldsource hits commercial production GUYANA GOLD

BY SALMA TARIKH

starikh@northernminer.com

oldsource Mines (TSXV:GXS) has reached commercial production at its Eagle Mountain gold mine in Guyana, with the junior now optimizing the small-scale operation to break even in the third quarter.

Located 230 km southwest of the capital Georgetown, Eagle Mountain hit commercial production for phase one on June 20, roughly three months after pouring first gold.

“This is a huge milestone. Obviously, it is the biggest achievement we’ve done to date,” Ioannis (Yannis) Tsitos, the company’s president, says.

The junior defines phase one commercial production as achieving at least 80% of nameplate capacity of 1,000 tonnes per day and 45% recovery in gold concentrate in the last 30 days. Over that period, the former BHP Billiton geophysicist notes that recoveries were over 50%.

Throughput reached a maximum of 1,400 tonnes per day, with an estimated average of 900 tonnes per day.

Tsitos admits the operation had a slow start given the heavier than usual rains in Guyana. But, he applauded his team for finishing construction this January under budget. Commissioning kicked off in February.

Total capital expenditures (capex) for phase one were US$4.8 million, compared to the budgeted US$5.9

million in the 2014 preliminary economic assessment (PEA).

The PEA envisions Eagle Mountain as a four-stage development, ramping up from 1,000 to 4,000 tonnes per day over four years.

Over its eight-year mine life, Eagle Mountain should deliver 168,700 oz. (from gravity-only processing) at all-in sustaining costs of US$630 per oz., including operating costs of US$500 to US$600 per oz. Helping keep costs down is the life of mine strip ratio of 0.9-to-1.

Goldsource will employ conventional open cut mining of gold mineralized saprolite, using a team of excavators, bulldozers and wheel loaders to extract and separate materials. It will use downhill gravity transport by slurry to send the materials to the processing facility.

Estimated total cost for all the phases is US$25 million.

“This is a phased development approach, which means we initiated something with very low capex. We are trying to keep the operating costs very low to deliver some free cash flow, which we constantly want to reinvest in several expansion phases,” Tsitos says. The operation should break even in the third quarter, and start producing free cash flow “by late Q3 or early Q4.”

The PEA forecasts gold production for the first full four years as 5,600, 14,400, 21,600 and 28,800 oz., respectively. Goldsource has guided 2016 production at 3,600 oz.

mine. But now, roughly two years to the day after the ink dried on the Yamana-Agnico deal, the company has regained its old moniker and pledged to rebuild itself into a significant gold producer.

“We were sitting around the table last summer in the depths of a pretty awful market when a lot of companies were throwing in the towel and turning off the lights,” Burzynski continues. “We realized that it was a very similar environment to when Bob, Sean and I started the original Osisko. It was a situation where we again saw opportunity to go in and acquire land in these brownfield mining camps, which happens so infrequently because many of these land packages have been staked for over one hundred years.”

The vehicle for the rebirth was Oban Mining, which had $10 million in cash and a market capitalization of $8 million when the Osisko team decided to take its second shot at the big leagues in June 2015. Over the past 12 months the company has completed 15 deals, three financings, and now has $75 million in cash and a $280 million market capitalization.

On June 14, Oban changed its name to Osisko Mining.

The company has returned to its old stomping grounds in Quebec, and earmarked its wholly-owned Windfall Lake and Marban projects as potential near-term production flagships. Osisko has always had a reputation for big drill programs, and it will have completed nearly 200,000 metres across the two properties by the end of the year.

“Windfall has really been a focal point for us since we started down this road last year. The first priority was getting programs rolling in the Urban Barry camp because we’d always had eyes on the potential there,” Burzynski explains.

“So we ended up consolidating the package, and relying on André Gaumond and his team from

1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16_JULY4_Main .indd 3

Virginia Mines. Over the years they’ve perfected a till-sampling technique, which was used to discover Goldcorp’s Éléonore mine.

They’ve covered our claims, and we completed additional geophysics because there is a sulphide relationship with the gold.”

Windfall lies 115 km east of the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, and hosts intrusion-related gold mineralization described as “atypical greenstone-hosted deposits,” which tend to show a close spatial association with high-level porphyry stocks and dykes.

“WE HAVE THE SAME TECHNICAL PEOPLE IN CHARGE THAT DID AROUND ONEMILLION METRES OF DRILLING AT CANADIAN MALARTIC.” JOHN BURZYNSKI CEO, OSISKO MINING

Current indicated resources within the Main zone total 2.8 million tonnes of 8.42 grams gold per tonne for 748,000 contained oz. Propertywide inferred resources include 3.5 million tonnes of 7.62 grams gold for 860,000 contained oz.

Osisko has almost completed a 55,000 metre program at Windfall that will underpin a new resource estimate expected in the fourth quarter. Exploration is focused on definition drilling above, and expansion drilling above and below the Red Dog intrusion. The company hopes it can push regional gold resources at Windfall towards 3 million oz.

Recent assay highlights have reportedly reinforced the lateral and vertical continuity of high-grade

on June 13.

Marban’s measured and indicated resource now stands at 1.83 million oz. gold in 47.6 million tonnes at 1.20 grams gold. In-pit resources total 1.48 million oz. gold in 37 million tonnes at an undiluted grade of 1.24 grams gold. Pit-constrained estimates are based on US$1,250 per oz. gold and a 0.4 gram gold cut-off grade.

“We have the same technical people in charge that did around one million metres of drilling at Canadian Malartic,” Burzynski elaborates. “I think the bullet point people missed is that there are close to one million ounces gold in that resource that run nearly two grams [gold per tonne.] That’s the magic of Marban. We view it as a satellite deposit for Canadian Malartic, and had initially acquired our position, probably five or six years ago, with that strategy in mind. We’re very familiar with the logistics there, and the ore is actually softer with a higher-grade component.”

The Osisko group also maintains a variety of equity interests in other juniors that could generate future royalties, or end up in the development pipeline down the road. For example, Roosen sits on the board of Falco Resources (TSXV: FPC; US-OTC: FPRGF), which recently released a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on the Horne gold complex in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Osisko Gold Royalties maintains a 16.2% equity stake in Falco, which is helmed by Canadian Malartic mastermind Luc Lessard.

“There are certain agreements in place wherein the royalty vehicle has first rights on royalties and streams in terms of Osisko Mining,” Burzynski says. “So that could offer us financing optionality down the road, and in terms of companies like Falco we’re certainly very familiar with Luc and his team. Could there be a grand coming together at some point? I’d certainly say it’s possible.”

Osisko has traded within a 52week range of 96¢ and $2.70, and closed at $2.20 per share at press time. The company has 125.2 million shares outstanding for a $270.5 million market capitalization.

Burzynski said that he wished it had been possible to do “double” the amount of deals during the down cycle because a recent surge in gold prices has driven multiples higher and made transactions more difficult. It seems the company is content with the portfolio it managed to assemble over the past 12 months.

On June 27, Osisko took advantage of surging gold prices and announced a $25-million bought-deal financing wherein it would issue 7.57 million flow-through shares priced at roughly $3.33 each. The equity offering represents around a 45% premium on the company’s stock price at the time of signing.

“I’ve had an article from an Abitibi newspaper over my desk since the Agnico-Yamana deal became official, and the rough translation of the headline reads: ‘It’s all over for Osisko,’” Burzynski says. “Today I’m going to take that article down and tear it up.” TNM

To optimize the operation, Goldsource intends to introduce a second shift at Eagle Mountain in the third quarter to keep the operation running around the clock. Miners currently work one 12-hour shift, 7 days a week. The additional shift should grow throughput to 1,800 tonnes per day. The junior has already bought equipment, including a 40-tonne articulated truck, and expanded the camp to accommodate new hires.

It anticipates growing its current 37-person workforce to 57.

The junior forecasts receiving a leach reactor permit in the third quarter. This would allow it to start intensive cyanide leaching of the gravity gold concentrates to improve the overall recovery and production.

Osisko Mining rides again OSISKO From 1

Recoveries should climb from 50% in concentrates to more than 95%.

Mobilization of the leach reactor should conclude in third quarter.

“These are the two biggest targets.

We hope to achieve them, as we’ve achieved commercial production, with a stellar safety record, no security incidents, and with combined support of the local community, the government, and everybody in Guyana.”

By year-end, Goldsource plans to initiate a prefeasibility study to assess whether it could accelerate the expansion.

“We’ve studied the deposit very well, both from a geological and resource side, and from a metallurgical and process side. The target is to

reach 4,000 tonnes per day,” Tsitos notes. “The only thing I cannot say is if this is going to be with two or three or only one expansion phase.”

The prefeasibility study — estimated out in first half of 2017 — should contain an upgraded resource.

Eagle Mountain’s existing resource stands at 3.9 million indicated tonnes grading 1.49 grams gold for 188,000 oz., plus 20.6 million inferred tonnes at 1.19 grams for 792,000 oz. Given the deposit remains open in three lateral directions, Tsitos believes his team could expand the resource through exploration.

At the start of June, Goldsource had US$1 million in its treasury, and US$6 million in mostly “inthe-money” warrants.

“We have been blessed somehow in this difficult time with good market acceptance and good stock price, which makes our life easier.

Because some of the warrants are controlled by insiders and very loyal shareholders, some of them have voluntarily exercised these warrants already, and some of them are exercising as we speak,” Tsitos says. “So we have no issues with available capital.”

The stock closed June 23 at 48¢, a penny below its 52-week high reached June 17. Its shares sunk to a 52-week low of 13¢ last July.

“It’s really good times at Goldsource,” the executive concludes.

“And we are very happy with the progress to date.” TNM

gold mineralization in the Zone 27 and Caribou areas, and include: 2.5 metres at 41.8 grams gold per tonne from 40 metres depth in hole 16-626; 3.1 metres of 30.6 grams gold from 273 metres in hole 16656; and 3.9 metres averaging 17.22 grams gold from 934 metres depth in hole 16-642.

Osisko plans to add another 50,000 metres to its exploration program at Windfall by the end of the year.

“Our first concern is size potential because you have to remember we’re talking about the least-explored greenstone belt in Quebec. Historically, the Windfall deposit has suffered a reputation as being disjointed,” Burzynski says.

“We think that’s a misconception because we’re seeing good continuity in our drilling, and we’ve been hitting new intercepts below the Red Dog dike and along a number of parallel zones. Our hope is we can do a combination open-pit and underground operation, and that’s why some of our drilling has focused on pulling together the near-surface mineralization because it could impact the scale of the mill you build,” he adds.

Osisko’s regional target generation work has also paid dividends.

On June 3, the company reported a new gold discovery at Windfall roughly three km southwest of the main deposit. Drilling had been targeting two induced polarization (IP) anomalies when hole 16-666 cut 183.5 grams gold over 0.3 metre from 284 metres depth, and hole 16-652 intersected 12.72 grams gold over 1.5 metres from 209 metres depth.

Meanwhile, Marban is a different story since Osisko originally viewed it as a potential satellite deposit. The project sits 15 km due west of Val-d’Or, and about equal distance between the Canadian Malartic mill and Agnico’s Goldex mine. Wares spearheaded a 72,000 metre drill program at the project last year, which dovetailed into an updated resource estimate released

| Inept UK leadership leads to confusion, regrets

W

ith all the political turmoil surrounding the United Kingdom’s surprise, non-binding vote in a June 23 referendum to leave the European Union, the world has certainly learned a few lessons.

Number one for gold miners and investors is that gold performed exactly as promised

BY JOHN CUMMING by gold bugs, serving as a valuable insurance jcumming@northernminer.com policy against political and currency risk in any investment portfolio.

Polls in the months leading up to voting day all pointed to “Remain” winning, as did the early voting results, but as the night wore on, “Leave” swung to the winning side. Ultimately, 51.9% of U.K. voters supported an exit from the EU (17.4 million votes) while 48.1% (16.1 million votes) expressed their desire to remain, with a turnout of 72.2%, out of a total population of all ages of 65 million.

The Leave votes were concentrated in Wales and England outside London, while the Remain votes were centred in London, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The U.K. has been in the EU and its precursor since 1973.

The referendum result shocked stock, bond and commodities markets around the world. In response, gold outperformed all currencies, with the U.S. dollar notably rallying strongly as the go-to safe haven. Gold rose from a PM fix of US$1,262.15 per oz. on voting day to US$1,315.50 per oz. the next day, for a 4.2% gain, with intra-day highs of 8.1% or a two-year high. Over the same 24-hour period, silver prices rose 4.3% to US$18.04 per oz., platinum was up 2.5% to US$987 per oz., while palladium acted like an industrial metal and dropped 2.1% to US$548 per oz.

At presstime, gold has been holding the line above US$1,300 per oz. and last traded at US$1,313 per oz. — up 8.3% over the past 30 days and 11.3% over the past year.

The day after the vote, U.K. bond yields hit their lowest levels ever and Brent crude oil fell by 4.9% to US$48.41 barrel. Perhaps most shocking of all, the U.K. pound plummeted over 12% against the U.S. dollar in a two-day rout to its lowest level against the U.S. dollar in 31 years, touching as low as US$1.31 on June 27. There is no recovery in sight, and some banks are predicting the pound will fall to US$1.15 this year.

In sterling terms, gold prices rose an astounding 20% on the day after the vote, and searches for “buy gold” on Google UK were up 500%.

The FTSE 100, while plunging 8.7% midday on June 24, actually ended the week up 2%, as can happen in a country’s stock market when a currency plummets and people pile into stocks (cf. Ecuador in the late 1990s). Other stock markets around the world showed strong declines on June 24 but have since rallied and stabilized.

Meanwhile, there is no end in sight to the political uncertainty in the U.K. as it becomes abundantly clear that the Leave leaders are a callow and opportunistic bunch that have never had any plan on where to take the country if they actually won the referendum.

Prime Minister David Cameron, who said he is resigning by October, has shown himself to be the worst U.K. leader since Neville Chamberlain, first by calling the unneeded referendum in the first place, then by helming a tepid Remain campaign, and finally by so glibly accepting the referendum results that wouldn’t have passed the $MBSJUZ "DU standards we now have in Canada thanks to Jean Chretien and the Supreme Court of Canada.

Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn put in his own feckless and narrowly union-focussed Remain campaign, and has now overwhelmingly lost a confidence vote, but maddeningly refuses to resign.

The exact process to take the U.K. out of the EU is uncertain, although it is generally expected to take longer than two years. Article 50 governs the withdrawal but has never been used before.

The result has unleashed all kinds of unforeseen actions such as First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon saying that Scotland may refuse legislative consent to dropping EU law in Scotland, and Northern Ireland also starting to ponder sticking with the EU and getting closer to the republic to the south.

At this point we’d have to predict that Brexit will never happen as new national leaders comes forward and more of the U.K. public come to regret a Leave vote they’d cast without fully thinking through the consequence or having put greater effort into reforming the EU from within on sticky issues such as immigration and culture — efforts that have paid off well enough in past decades for a province like Quebec to stay within Canada.

PwC’s Top 40 sees many ‘firsts’ in 2015 — most of them bad FACTS ‘N’ FIGURES

ast year, the mining companies on PwC’s Top 40 list, measured by market cap, chalked up their first-ever collective net loss of US$27 billion and their lowest return on capital employed (ROCE), in the 13 years that the consulting firm has been publishing its annual review, which this year is entitled Mine 2016 — Slower, lower, weaker ... but not defeated.

ROCE in 2015 fell from 8% to 4%, compared with the commonly cited 15% hurdle rate for new projects, while impairments surged to US$53 billion, which, the study said, “may not be an absolute record, but at 77% of 2015’s capital expenditure is the highest proportion ever recorded.”

“This is the first edition of Mine where we have observed a sustained deterioration in the viability of the Top 40,” the study stated, noting that the minimum threshold for inclusion on the annual list is a market cap of US$4.5 billion.

The report’s other findings included negative price-to-earnings ratios (the first in the publication’s history); a 39% decline in the group’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); and leverage at an all-time high of 46%.

The study also touched on the reduction of investment on property, plant and equipment to US$580 billion from US$650 billion; the fall in capex to US$69 billion (half what it was in 2012 and 2013); “the first wide-scale mothballing of marginal assets” and decrease in capital velocity to 10.6%; the

THE FOUR NEW COMPANIES ON THE LIST WERE ALL CHINESE, BRINGING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CHINESE FIRMS ON THE TOP 40 TO 12.

Market capitalization also shrank by a large amount. At the end of 2015, the Top 40’s market capitalization contracted to US$494 billion — a 37% drop from 2014 and the lowest level since 2004.

Not only did the drop in market cap outpace the 25% fall in commodity prices, the PwC study found, but “many of the established members of the Top 40 marked below their book values for the first time in the history of our publication.”

“All gains made during the commodity super-cycle were effectively wiped out,” the study said. “The collapse was all the more painful for producers in 2015 because the value destruction was perceived as self-inflicted, whereas during the global financial crisis, by contrast, extraneous market forces drove valuations down across multiple sectors.”

trimming of debt by US$10 billion or 3%; nearly a third of the Top 40 companies reporting they had assets for sale; the 42% plunge in the HSBC Global Mining Index; and finally, a net debt to EBITDA ratio above four for 12 of the Top 40 companies, up from four in 2014.

“Companies are now valued significantly less than what the commodity price would dictate, so they have been very severely punished,” Liam Fitzgerald, Canada’s National Mining Leader for PwC, says in an interview.

While it is too premature to call the bottom, Fitzgerald notes that the sector “is starting to turn the corner” and that from a data perspective is seeing “an uptick.”

“If you look at some of the deals happening and some of the money flowing through the capital markets, there are some positive signs out there,” he says. “There’s good performance on the TSX for the

mining and materials sector, so the attitude: ‘We won’t be defeated’ will hold true and the market should improve in 2016.”

The sector will see more asset sales and mergers and acquisitions, he says. “In 2015 the market was dominated by single-asset sales in the bidding processes — like Anglo’s sale of its niobium assets — so you can expect a few more of those. What we expect to see is that, given a lot of noncore asset sales have been made already, some companies will have to look at assets they may like to keep but may have to sell … there could be a few billion dollars of dispositions of assets or

M&A might increase the volume as well as the dollar amounts.”

And there’s still a lot of work to be done on cutting debt, he says.

“Companies don’t look anywhere as bad as they did, but there’s still some work to do on the debt side — companies can’t assume debt burdens have been taken care of.”

Teck Resources and First Quantum Minerals fell off the list in 2015, while the four new companies added to the list were all Chinese, bringing the total number of Chinese companies on the Top 40 to 12. A lithium company joined the list for the first time: Sichuan Tianqi Lithium. TNM

anpotex, an exclusive offshore marketing company for potash mined in Saskatchewan by Agrium (TSX: AGU; AGY: NYSE), Mosaic (NYSE: MOS) and Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (TSX: POT; NYSE: POT), has abandoned plans to build a $775 million potash export terminal in Prince Rupert, B.C. after nearly a decade of consideration.

Ken Seitz, president and CEO of Canpotex tells The Northern Miner that the company’s export terminals located in Vancouver, B.C., Saint John, N.B., and Portland, OR., provide enough terminal capacity to meet the potash trader’s needs.

“Over the years, all the work we’ve done at Prince Rupert has been in preparation to decide whether we should charge forward and build the facility, he says in an interview.

“But when we weighed all of our options from a strategic, cost and commercial perspective, we concluded that the facility was not our preferred option.”

The Saskatoon-based organization first announced plans for a new bulk terminal on Prince Rupert’s Ridley Island in 2008, designed with a capacity to handle 13 million tonnes of potash per year.

Almost two years ago, the organization executed a lease agreement with the Prince Rupert Port Authority to equip the proposed terminal with an 180,000-tonne potash storage building, along with a conveyor and dust-collection systems.

Work to date has cost Canpotex $50 million, including $15 million towards the port’s $90 million road, rail and utility corridor project, which was completed in May last year.

The Canadian National Railway provided $30 million towards the project, in part with the B.C. and federal governments and the Prince Rupert Port Authority, who contributed $15 million apiece.

“We had a very positive experience navigating the regulatory environment and had great working relationships with the First Nation groups and the Port Authority,” Seitz says.

Canpotex’s withdrawal from

Prince Rupert followed just months after PotashCorp, under pressure from falling potash prices, announced plans to shutter its oneyear-old Picadilly mine near Sussex, N.B. Seitz says the closure freed up capacity at the organization’s N.B. export terminal, giving Canpotex an “east-coast option for shipping potash.”

“We do not want our decision at Prince Rupert to be interpreted as a commentary on the health of the potash business because that’s certainly not the case,” he says. “There’s a lot of short-term things at play that are driving down prices, but when we look beyond the short-term, the outlook is really good.”

The crop nutrient began its swoon four years ago as weak crop prices and currency declines pinched demand. Prices also suffered following the breakup in 2013 of a RussianBelarussian marketing cartel that previously helped limit supply.

However, in recent news, commentary from Belarus’ president Alexander Lukashenko has indicated that giant potash miners Belaruskali and Uralkali might resume their “cooperative” sales efforts.

Lukashenko stated: “virtually every month new shareholders of Uralkali contact me to say that they want to cooperate. I tell them that I am ready to meet with them if they have proposals. Today they are ready to cooperate with us. We are not against it. But we will work on our terms. Let’s resume work. Let’s agree on the volumes of production. To put it plainly, we will divide markets and will not compete with each other. It

will bring good dividends.”

In a June research note, analysts at Raymond James said that the president’s comments offer “the first tangible signal that reconciliation, and return to supply management, may be possible.”

Seitz says a key factor burdening potash prices over the past 6 months is that China, the world’s largest consumer of potash fertilizer, still hasn’t signed an annual benchmark supply contract with foreign producers.

“The way this business works, every year potash suppliers start negotiating with the Chinese for their annual requirements. The longer it takes to negotiate, the more uncertainty and instability it creates in the potash market,” he says.

“Several other markets look to the Chinese settlement to create a floor for potash prices for the year but that hasn’t come yet.”

Separately, the Raymond James report states that Belaruskali is close to inking an export contract for 700,000 tonnes of potash with an Indian buyer — an event the analysts consider as “critical” in reestablishing normal fluidity and commercial terms in the global potash sector.

The analysts said the contract could land between US$220 to US$230 per tonne — a 32% drop compared to the contract price in 2015 — and may serve as a reference point for others that follow.

They predict the Chinese contract may fall between US$205 to US$213 per tonne.

According to Canpotex’s market review in May, while 2015 was a “challenging” year for the sector, the global microenvironment has shown signs of improvement.

The organization predicts that global potash production could peak between 59 and 61 million tonnes this year, and grow at a long-term rate up to 3%, reaching 70 million tonnes of potash in 2020.

Operational capability is forecast to grow at a similar average rate over the next five years, supporting a relatively balanced market outlook.

“Everything we do at Canpotex has a 20-year outlook,” he says.

“Growth in the demand for food is also growth in the demand for potash, so the long term picture of that shows it’s really favourable.” TNM

JULY 4–10, 2016 / THE NORTHERN MINER

M A R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / JUNE 20–24 Canada’s main stock index lost most of its early gains in the week due to the Brexit vote that increased global uncertainty, sending investors flocking to safe havens like gold.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index ended the June 20–24 trading period at 13,891.88, down 0.07%. The S&P/TSX Global Gold Index rose nearly 5% to 243.63, after the spot gold price jumped 1.4% to US$1,315.60 per oz. The S&P/ TSX Global Mining Index advanced 1.5% to 59.08. The S&P/TSX Capped Diversified Metals & Mining Index, however, fell 1.9% to 554.32.

Marathon Gold surged 34.2% to 51¢ per share on positive results from its summer 2016 drill program at the Marathon deposit, one of the four deposits on its Valentine gold camp in central Newfoundland. A 140-metre down-hole extension of the previously drilled hole MA-15-47 returned the highest gold grades to date at the deposit from 200 metres below surface. The best intercept hit 20.17 grams gold per tonne (uncut) over 7.2 metres (true thickness) including 190.88 grams gold (uncut) over 0.7 metre (true thickness). The extension shows the “potential for growth of a high-grade underground resource.” The Marathon deposit remains open along strike and at depth. The total strike length of the mineralized corridor, including the Marathon resource pit shell, now extends 1.7 km.

Metallurgical testwork should be completed in the third quarter, with column tests indicating that the Marathon ore could be heap-leachable. The Marathon deposit currently hosts an open-pit and underground resource of 195,600 oz. (3 million indicated tonnes of 1.98 grams gold) and 23,800 oz.

(280,000 inferred tonnes at 2.64 grams gold).

RTG Mining rose 12% to 51¢ per share, ahead of its June 27 announcement that Thor Exploration agreed to buy its interest in the Segilola gold project in Nigeria for up to US$8.5 million. The transaction — expected to close at the end of July — is conditional on several factors, including regulatory approvals, no adverse material changes before closing, Thor raising at least US$4 million and agreeing to acquire the balance of Segilola TSX MOST ACTIVE ISSUES

Yorbeau Resources shares jumped nearly 12% to 10¢ after inking a non-binding letter of intent with Kinross Gold, whereby the major could acquire 100% of its Rouyn gold property in Quebec over four years.

As part of the option, Kinross must complete a resource estimate on the property after spending $12 million on exploration, including a $3 million commitment in the

first 18 months. Following the resource estimate, Kinross could buy 100% of the property for a cash payment of US$25 million, plus 2% of the prevailing gold prices multiplied by the gold ounces identified by Kinross. The junior would have a 2% net smelter return royalty on any gold ounces produced in excess of those identified by Kinross. The property contains four known gold deposits. TNM

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / JUNE 20–24 Economic uncertainty following the surprise vote in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union edged the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index down 4.57 points, or 0.6%, to a 710.79-point close over the trading period.

Chesapeake Gold topped the value-added category, rising $1.54 to $5.10 on rising gold prices. In March, the company updated the prefeasibility study for its Metates gold-silver project in Mexico’s Durango State, which envisaged a 30,000 tonnes-per-day open-pit operation scaling up to 90,000 tonnes-per day after four years of mining, eventually becoming a 27-year mining operation, followed by 10 years of processing low-grade stockpiles.

The study calculates an after-tax net present value of US$737.4 million at 5% discount and a 7.7% after-tax internal rate of return.

Hinterland Metals saw 13.3 million shares trade hands, gaining 3¢ to 6¢ on news it acquired claims 15 km southeast of Nemaska Lithium’s Whabouchi hard rock lithium project in Quebec’s James Bay region. The junior stated that previous explorers never considered the potential for lithium-bearing pegmatites on the 21 sq. km property.

Shares of CanAlaska Uranium jumped 19¢ to a 94¢ after the company announced that its new joint-venture partner De Beers has collected over 100 samples for kimberlite

indicator mineral processing at their West Athabasca project in Saskatchewan. The samples will be processed in De Beers’ laboratories to establish evidence for kimberlite intrusives associated with geophysical anomalies that CanAlaska identified prior to staking the 810 sq. km land package earlier this year.

The partners plan to execute high resolution geophysics on targets before drilling.

Gold Reserve’s shares fell 38¢ to a $5.42 after the company extended to July 15 its memorandum of understanding with the Venezuelan government. The company stated the delay is due to “recent positive events in Venezuela” such as the formation of a new Ministry of Ecological Mining Development and appointment of a new minister. In September 2014, Gold Reserve negotiated a US$740-million TSX-V MOST ACTIVE ISSUES

Shares of NexGen Energy were hit by the Brexit result, dropping 23¢ to a $2.49. Prior to the event, the company announced expansion of high-grade uranium mineralization at its

Arrow deposit in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. Intercepts include 37.5 metres of 17.6% U3O8, 68 metres of 2.09% U3O8 and 32 metres at 1.97% U3O8. NexGen is wrapping up a 7,500 metre drill program and will begin the next phase of exploration at Arrow in late June that will entail more drilling at Arrow and target new areas of mineralization to the northeast and southwest of the deposit.

U.S. MARKETS / JUNE 20–24 U.S. equities sank after Britain’s surprise decision to leave the European Union. The main U.S. indices all lost more than 3% on June 24, erasing year-to-date gains for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while the Nasdaq widened its 2016 loss. For the week, S&P 500 and Dow finished at 2,037.41 and 17,675.16, respectively, both down 1.6%. The Nasdaq fell 1.9% to 4,707.98. The Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index advanced 3.7% during the week to 93.70, on the back of higher gold prices.

Spot gold and silver finished at US$1,315.60 per oz. and US$17.72 per oz., both up 1.4%.

Raymond James analysts have increased their 2017 assumptions for gold and silver by 10% and 20% to US$1,400 per oz. and US$20 per oz., mainly due to the “potential for prolonged uncertainty of the wider Brexit ramifications for the European, U.S. and global economies, and also the diminishing prospects of interest rate increases in the U.S.” Gold companies were among the top value gainers, despite no major corporate news. Franco-Nevada shares rose US$1.89 to US$72.43 and Agnico Eagle Mines shares climbed US$1.81 to US$52.03. Newmont Mining advanced US$1.54 per share to US$37.19.

On June 20, Kinross Gold halted mining and processing operations at its Tasiast gold mine in Mauritania. The company said it could not fully operate the site, following the Mauritanian Ministry of Labor’s recent decision to bar certain expatriate employees from working, due to allegations of invalid work permits. Kinross has ensured the work permits are in good standing and does not expect this to affect Tasiast’s phase one expansion. Currently, 88% of the employees at Tasiast are Mauritanian nationals. The temporarily suspension comes a week after Kinross reported that the strike by unionized U.S. MOST ACTIVE ISSUES

Silver Bear moving swiftly to develop Vertikalny Central

HIGH GRADE SILVER

BY TRISH SAYWELL

ince the end of last year, shares of Russia-focused Silver Bear Resources (TSX: SBR) have soared from 1.5¢ to 24¢ apiece.

“That’s more than a tenfold increase in the last six months — it’s huge,” the junior’s Moscow-based president and CEO Graham Hill says. “People are recognizing that we’re doing what we said we were going to do.”

What the company has said it will do is produce the first silver from its Vertikalny Central deposit in Russia’s Far East by year-end. And while Hill concedes that the target is “a tall order” — he also believes that meeting the self-imposed deadline is entirely possible.

The company has already procured all of the major equipment it needs to build the mine and processing plant, having brought most of it in during the winter road season (January to April), and expects to start commissioning in the fourth quarter of this year. Steady state production is targeted for the first quarter of 2017.

On June 9, Silver Bear released the results of a feasibility study, which Hill describes as “exceptional,” including an initial capex estimate of US$48.6 million, a post-tax payback in just over two years, a post-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate of US$70.7 million and a 40.2% post-tax internal rate of return.

“It really is very, very good,” he says of the study, adding that the open-pit operation, 400 km north of the capital city of Yakutsk in Russia’s Far Eastern Republic of Sakha, will produce 16.8 million oz. silver over a 7.3-year mine life.

“What we are producing is go-

| Junior hopes to complete mine construction in Russia’s Far East by end of 2016

ing to be a very high-grade silver powder,” he says. “The final process is an electrowinning-electrolysis process, from which we will provide 99.8% to 99.9% silver powder — we won’t be doing further smelting or doré bars — we don’t need to, we can do off-take agreements on the silver powder.”

Hill notes that the feasibility study used conservative silver prices (US$16 per oz. in the first year of production, US$17.25 per oz. during the second year of production, and US$18 per oz. during the remainder of the project, with a life-of-mine weighted average silver price of US$17.74 per oz.)

“We said, ‘let’s be realistic, let’s look at what forward curves are’ and we took the median of 25 financial institutions,” he explains. “The prices we’ve used further demonstrate the robustness of our project — even if silver doesn’t go beyond US$18 per oz. The median gives you a reasonable set of numbers — those are not extreme numbers in anybody’s books.”

Vertikalny Central is one of the highest-grade silver deposits in the world and has an indicated resource of 800,000 tonnes grading 909 grams silver per tonne for 23.4 million contained oz. silver, and an inferred resource of 680,000 tonnes averaging 615 grams silver for 13.4 million oz. silver. The resource estimate used a cut-off grade of 335 grams silver.

Hill acknowledges that the main reason why the company is able to move so quickly and fast-track the development process is due to the support it has from the local government, Silver Bear’s board of directors and its major Russia-based shareholders. Two of the company’s biggest shareholders are Russian

“THE PRICES WE’VE USED FURTHER DEMONSTRATE THE ROBUSTNESS OF OUR PROJECT — EVEN IF SILVER DOESN’T GO BEYOND US$18 PER OUNCE.” GRAHAM HILL PRESIDENT AND CEO, SILVER BEAR RESOURCES

privately held investment management firms: Inflection Capital Partners, with a 25.6% stake, and Aterra Capital, which owns a 25.2% stake. Aterra is owned by Russian billionaire Alexey Mordashov.

“I have the full support of the board and shareholders for advancing this to completion — the money that has gone into the project has come from our two major shareholders and they stand right behind the project,” Hill says, adding that the local community and local government are also supportive.

“The government of Yakutsk is very keen for us to develop our mine here,” Hill says. “We were favourably received, they were encouraging us in terms of making sure we can get our applications completed in time, and there is a Far East Russia tax incentive scheme that gives us necessary tax relief and relief on mineral royalties for a number of years. It’s great encouragement for us and improves returns on projects for all companies looking to start up in a location like this.”

Under the region’s tax incentives, Hill says, there is a five-year hiatus

on profit taxes, while mineral royalties are charged on a sliding scale that starts at zero and then increases gradually over a similar time frame.

Silver Bear says that while it has proceeded with construction in advance of regulatory approval for the project, it expects that all of the permits needed for construction and operation will be in place before the start of production.

“There are a series of permits we need to obtain as per the Russian regulatory process; there are ecological permits, safety permits, construction and commissioning permits, so there are a series of permits required — it’s like a sequence of events — so we have started the permitting process and so far we’ve had positive responses to or applications so we are progressing,” he says.

“Our current plan is that we will have all the permits we need by the end of the third quarter, before we start commissioning. It’s an unusual environment to work in [but] we are working as closely as possible with all the regulatory authorities to make sure we get all our permits.

It’s a little bit different working in the Russian environment … it’s a challenging environment to work in, but it can also be a supportive environment to work in, so we’re happy to be here and building new mining projects.”

The Vertikalny Central deposit is one of several deposits at the Mangazeisky project. The idea is that a central facility will process ore from all of the satellite pits, which include Vertikalny Northwest, 1 km north of Vertikalny Central; Nizhny Endybal, 2.5 km east of Vertikalny Central; and the Mangazeisky North deposits, 7 km north.

Vertikalny Northwest has an in-

ferred resource of 310,000 tonnes grading 458 grams silver for 4.6 million oz. silver and Nizhny Endybal has an inferred resource of 710,000 tonnes grading 316 grams silver for 7.2 million oz. silver. The Mangazeisky North deposit has an indicated resource of 304,000 tonnes grading 626 grams silver for 6.1 million oz. silver and an inferred resource of 98,000 averaging 671 grams silver for 2.1 million oz., while Mangazeisky South has an inferred resource of 60,000 tonnes measuring 246 grams silver for 500,000 oz. silver.

Hill says the company focused on Vertikalny Central first because that’s where the grade and definition were the best and it was better explored, but is now focusing a bit more on Mangazeisky North to develop that as the next resource that will be fed into the processing plant.

“We’ve also got a few other interesting deposits fairly nearby and hopefully we’ll be making some further announcements on those,” he says. “There are deposits for which we do not have a maiden resource, so hopefully we’ll be producing some maiden resources for additional deposits and adding to our total resource on the property.”

Hill is familiar with working in challenging and often remote conditions. Before joining Silver Bear as CEO in November 2014, Hill helped build the Yatela and Sadiola gold mines in Mali; developed and managed the Amantaytau gold and silver mines in Central Asia in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan and the desert-like Kyzylkum Region of the Navoi Oblast in Uzbekistan; and developed the Passendro gold project in the Central African Republic.

Lundin Gold tables feasibility study for Fruta del Norte ECUADOR

| Mine construction at high-grade gold deposit could begin in mid-2017

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

undin Gold (TSX: LUG; USOTC: FTMNF) has completed a feasibility study that outlines a path to production at its flagship Fruta del Norte (FDN) gold project in southeastern Ecuador. The company hopes to secure its environmental licence and water permits by the fourth quarter, which would set the stage for project financing in mid2017. The first year of commercial production is scheduled for 2021.

The study, released on June 6, is the second milestone for Lundin this year. In late January the company negotiated an agreement with the Ecuadorian government that outlines a financial and tax regime for FDN’s development.

The study was prepared by lead engineering firm Amec Foster Wheeler, and supported by Klohn Crippen Berger. The operation would produce 340,000 oz. gold annually over a 13-year mine life at all-in sustaining costs of US$623 per oz. gold.

Lundin models capital expenses of US$669 million, which doesn't include US$430 million in sunk costs that will have been incurred at FDN before an expected official construction date in early July 2017.

Twin declines would be built 155 metres below the Machinaza River, while the mine ramp would be located central to the main workings east of the deposit. The plan is based on probable reserves of 15.5 million tonnes of 9.67 grams gold per tonne and 12.7 grams silver per tonne for 4.8 million contained oz. gold and

6.34 million contained oz. silver.

“This [study] provides a solid basis for FDN to advance immediately into development and become a landmark and profitable mining operation,” president and CEO Ron Hochstein said during a conference call. “This is the type of deposit that companies are built on, and it will be a new economic driver for Ecuador. Our focus now shifts to environmental permitting and further optimization in preparation for the start of portal construction and operations.”

Ore would be processed using a gravity, flotation and leaching flow sheet. The gravity circuit would recover the coarse free gold, and small amounts of fine free gold, while the flotation circuit would recover gold

associated with sulphides. Flotation tailings would be treated in a carbon-in-leach to recover the fine-grained gold.

Over the mine’s life, 70% of the gold would be produced in concentrate and the rest in doré. The silver production would be 82% in concentrate and 18% in doré.

At a US$1,250 per oz. gold price , the project would have a US$676million after-tax net present value (NPV) at a 5% discount rate, and a 15.7% internal rate of return (IRR).

Pre-tax numbers feature a US$1.3billion NPV and a 23.8% IRR. Basic engineering and early site work would start in the third quarter, with an exploitation agreement and US$25 million in advance royalty payments following early next year.

Dundee Precious Metals to start construction at Krumovgrad in Q3 BULGARIAN GOLD

BY TRISH SAYWELL tsaywell@northernminer.com

U

pdating investors on its Krumovgrad gold project in southern Bulgaria, Dundee Precious Metals (TSX: DPM) says it could start construction before October and has revised its construction capital cost estimate to US$178 million, up from a US$164-million estimate in March 2014.

The company says it has nearly cleared the last permitting hurdle for a construction permit. Subject to financing and board approval, production could kick off in the second half of 2018.

The increase in the cost estimate is owed to higher levels of definition from detailed engineering in the first quarter and updated contractor and equipment pricing, along with execution and operational readiness plans. The new estimate includes a US$12.4-million contingency, and was partly offset by savings associated with leasing the mine fleet.

Rick Howes, Dundee’s president and CEO, could not be reached for comment.

Once in production, Krumovgrad would be Dundee’s second operating mine in the country. Its first, Chelopech, is 70 km east of Sofia, the national capital, in central-western Bulgaria, on the southern Balkan Ranges. Chelopech produces a copper concentrate containing gold and silver and a pyrite concentrate

1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16_JULY4_Main .indd 13

Lundin would begin earthworks in late 2017 and process plant construction in early 2018.

“We’ve come a long way in Ecuador over the past 18 months,” chairman Lukas Lundin said. “When we started the journey, we were worried about permits and different tax regimes. Now I think we have it all in place, and have full cooperation from the government to get the project going. The study demonstrates a long-life mine and we have great exploration potential, so I see us being there for a long time.”

Hochstein explained that the company will be looking at a “two-stage” financing, with the first component scheduled to close by the third quarter. Lundin expects to spend US$120 million at FDN to reach construction in mid-2017. The company would then complete a larger financing to fund the feasibility study’s development capital.

“We believe we’ll be able to minimize dilution and lower our cost of capital by de-risking the project over the next year, improving the

economics. The two-stage financial strategy will also get us through the election in Ecuador in February,” Hochstein added.

Lundin has carried out a regional drill campaign 15 km to 20 km south of FDN that includes the Robles, Chanchito and Emperador targets, comprising 20 holes totalling 7,500 metres. The company may follow up with another 3,000 metres.

Lundin has traded within a 52week range of $3.46 to $6.51 per share, and dropped 6.5%, or 40¢ on the feasibility study news, en route to a $5.84 per share close at press time. The company has 101.3 million shares outstanding for a $632-million market capitalization, and at the end of March reported US$7.8 million in cash.

On June 27, Lundin lined up a bought deal financing of 15 million shares priced at $5.50 per share, for gross proceeds of $82.5 million. If a 15% over-allotment option is exercised under the same terms, the money raised would rise to $94.9 million. TNM

| Construction costs creep up to US$1`78M containing gold. Last year the operation produced a total 115,000 oz. gold, 39.8 million lb. copper and 242 million oz. silver.

Dundee acquired Chelopech in September 2003, and since then annual ore processed has increased from 523,810 tonnes in 2004 to 2.1 million tonnes in 2014.

Krumovgrad could produce 85,700 oz. gold and 38,700 oz. silver per year over an eight-year mine life at total cash costs of US$404 per equivalent oz. gold, yielding earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of US$66 million a year.

Over its mine life, Krumovgrad would churn out 685,549 oz. gold and 309,915 oz. silver.

At US$1,250 per oz. gold and US$15 per oz. silver, payback would take 2.4 years and the mine would generate a post-tax net present value, at a 5% discount rate, of US$187.6 million and a 24.8% internal rate of return.

Dundee says the project can be funded from internally generated cash flow and supplemented with available lines of credit under the company’s revolving credit facility, in addition to proceeds from the March sale of its Kapan mine in southern Armenia to Polymetal International (LSE: POLY).

Dundee sold Kapan, which produces a copper concentrate and a zinc concentrate, both containing gold and silver, for US$10 million

in cash, US$15 million in Polymetal shares and a 2% net smelter return royalty on future production capped at US$25 million.

In addition to Chelopech and Krumovgrad, Dundee owns the Tsumeb smelter, a copper concentrate processing facility in Namibia, and has interests in several gold development properties across Bulgaria, Serbia and northern Canada.

It also owns 100% of Avala Resources and has a 12% interest in Sabina Gold & Silver (TSX: SBB).

On June 20, Dundee announced that it had entered into a an agreement with a syndicate of investment dealers that would purchase on a bought-deal basis 15.8 million shares of the company at $3 per share for gross proceeds of $47.5 million. The underwriters can buy up to another 2.4 million shares for total proceeds of $54.7 million.

Concurrent with the offering, Dundee intends to undertake a non-brokered private placement of 840,000 shares of the company at $3 per share for additional proceeds of $2.5 million.

The company says the proceeds of both financings “will be used to lower drawdowns under its revolver credit facility, support advancing its growth initiatives and for general corporate purposes.”

At press time Dundee’s shares traded at $2.98 apiece within a 52-week trading range of 87¢ and $3.47. TNM

But Barrick founder and chairman Peter Munk vigorously defended Barrick’s decision at the company’s annual general meeting on April 24.

“I convinced the board,” he told the standing-room-only crowd at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. “If you want to give anyone hell, give it to me.”

Munk argued that the new paradigm of mounting resource nationalism requires a brand-new approach to government contacts. And he said that the challenges of protecting the company’s assets — “90% of which, to the tune of $40 billion, are in 23 different countries” — meant that the company needed someone of Thornton’s exceptional calibre and “unique credentials,” leverage and access to some of the world’s most important power brokers.

B2Gold hits new gold at developing Otjikoto mine

By Gwen Preston

VANCOUVER — With its list of gold mines having just climbed from two to three following the takeover of CGA Mining and with a fourth mine under construction, B2Gold (BTO-T) expects to churn out more than half a million ounces of gold annually by 2015. It’s a feat that is earning the company growing praise from an industry happy to see an acquisition-based success story amidst so many overpriced and failed deals.

And in its latest news B2Gold reports its drills are hitting highgrade gold at a satellite zone at Otjikoto — the mine under construction in Namibia — that could well add years and ounces to the operation.

Otjikoto sits 300 km north of the Namibian capital of Windhoek.

The project, which B2Gold holds a 92% stake in through a partnership with Namibian EVI Gold, is home

to 29.4 million probable tonnes of open-pit reserves grading 1.42 grams gold per tonne. Open-pit mine construction at Otjikoto kicked off in January, with initial gold production expected in late 2014.

Otjikoto’s current reserves support 112,000 oz. gold production annually for 12 years. However, B2Gold believes there is much more gold to discover at the burgeoning mine. To that end, the company has already completed 47 drill holes at the project this year.

Thirteen of those holes were collared within the planned Otjikoto open pit to better delineate certain ore shoots, while another six holes were drilled to inform civil engineering studies. The other 28 holes all probed Wolfshag, a known but little-explored gold zone, northeast of the planned pit.

Rainforest reclamation done right in Brazil

and trish saywell in toronto

But Barrick founder and chairman Peter Munk vigorously defended Barrick’s decision at the company’s annual general meeting on April 24.

“I convinced the board,” he told the standing-room-only crowd at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. “If you want to give anyone hell, give it to me.”

Munk argued that the new paradigm of mounting resource nationalism requires a brand-new approach to government contacts. And he said that the challenges of protecting the company’s assets — “90% of which, to the tune of $40 billion, are in 23 different countries” — meant that the company needed someone of Thornton’s exceptional calibre and “unique credentials,” leverage and access to some of the world’s most important power brokers.

“We believe that pay should be tailored to achievements, that pay should come after performance,” Munk said. “It was hard to have someone paid on performance if he would not have been able to join to perform. So we had a bit of a chicken and an egg situation . . . sometimes you have to do things See Barrick, Page 3

WINNEMUCCA, NEV. — For Nevada-based explorer Paramount Gold and Silver (PZG-T, PZG-X), there’s a lot to be said for making something old new again.

B2Gold hits new gold at developing Otjikoto mine

By Gwen Preston

VANCOUVER — With its list of gold mines having just climbed from two to three following the takeover of CGA Mining and with a fourth mine under construction, B2Gold (BTO-T) expects to churn out more than half a million ounces of gold annually by 2015. It’s a feat that is earning the company growing praise from an industry happy to see an acquisition-based success story amidst so many overpriced and failed deals.

And in its latest news B2Gold reports its drills are hitting highgrade gold at a satellite zone at Otjikoto — the mine under construction in Namibia — that could well add years and ounces to the operation.

Otjikoto sits 300 km north of the Namibian capital of Windhoek.

The project, which B2Gold holds a 92% stake in through a partnership with Namibian EVI Gold, is home

to 29.4 million probable tonnes of open-pit reserves grading 1.42 grams gold per tonne. Open-pit mine construction at Otjikoto kicked off in January, with initial gold production expected in late 2014.

Otjikoto’s current reserves support 112,000 oz. gold production annually for 12 years. However, B2Gold believes there is much more gold to discover at the burgeoning mine. To that end, the company has already completed 47 drill holes at the project this year.

Thirteen of those holes were collared within the planned Otjikoto open pit to better delineate certain ore shoots, while another six holes were drilled to inform civil engineering studies. The other 28 holes all probed Wolfshag, a known but little-explored gold zone, northeast of the planned pit.

Mineralization at Sleeper falls into four main categories, including: early quartz-pyrite-marcasite stockwork, intermediate silicapyrite-marcasite cemented breccias tied to zones of structural weakness, late-stage zones of highgrade banded quartz veins and post-alluvial, gold-silver deposits in Pliocene gravels.

Barrick investors revolt against $11.9m bonus

By Gwen Preston in vancouver

In the last year Barrick Gold (ABX-T, ABX-N) has announced a multi-billion dollar overrun at its flagship development project in Chile, taken a $3.8-billion charge on a highly criticized acquisition, changed its chief executive officer and seen its share price sliced in half.

So it was no great surprise that eight funds who are invested in the gold major formally protested the company’s decision to offer cochairman John Thornton an “unprecedented” signing bonus of $11.9 million.

The group of seven Canadian pension funds and one international investment fund say the signing bonus, which would bring Thornton’s total compensation for 2012 to $17 million, is a Canadian record.

“This compensation is inconsistent with the governance principle of pay-for-performance and is therefore disproportionate and sets a troubling precedent in Canadian capital markets,” the group said in a statement. As a group these funds collectively manage over $900 billion in assets.

or add responsibilities. The staff reduction and reorganization could result in US$1.5 million in annual savings, starting in 2017.

While the company has a strong base of long-term contracts averaging US$50 per lb. uranium oxide (U 3 O 8), Jeff K lenda, the company’s chair and CEO, said the changes were necessary to drive down costs in response to the weakening spot price in 2016.

“Difficult times require difficult decisions. Sadly, in this case, it meant saying goodbye to high-quality people whom we truly hate to lose,” he said in a release.

The firm has offered the affected employees severances and assistance to find other employment opportunities. The reorganization should be complete in the coming weeks.

T he mont h ly average for spot prices has fallen 21% from US$34.70 per lb. in January to US$27.25 per lb. in May, making the company take proactive measures.

In April, major producer Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) suspended the Rabbit Lake mine and trimmed output at the McArthur R iver operation, both in Saskatchewan, while deferring wellfield development at its U.S. in-situ recovery operations. As a result, it lowered its 2016 guidance to 25.7 million lb. U 3 O 8 , down from 30 million lb. earlier.

While the spot price has rebounded slightly to close June 6 at US$28.25 per lb., Ur-Energy remains cautious and has no exploration planned for 2016 and 2017.

It has trimmed its 2016 production guidance at the Lost Creek mine in Wyoming to between 600,000 and 700,000 lb. U 3 O 8 , from 650,000 to 750,000 lb. earlier.

The revised figure is more than enough for the producer to meet its remaining long-term sale commitments for the year.

Ur-Energy’s contractual sales obligations for 2016 are 662,000 lb. U3 O 8 at an average realizable price of US$47.16 per lb. U 3 O 8 .

This amount includes the 25,000 lb. sold under contract in the first quarter and the 200,000 lb. it assigned during that quarter to a third party.

“We don’t have to produce those [assig ned] pou nds, basica l ly, somebody else does. We strip the profits out on those contracts more or less,” the company’s chief financial officer Roger Smith said.

For the year, the junior is responsible for delivering 462,000 lb. U3 O 8 . “Anything that we produce over and above the 462,000 lb. is available to build inventory and/or sell into the spot market, if prices support it,” he added.

From 2016 to 2021, the junior is contracted to deliver 3.1 million lb. at an average price of US$49.81 per lb., which is US$20 per lb. more than the current spot price.

At the end of March 2016, UrEnergy had 266,842 lb. in total inventory, up 46% from the end of 2015, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Michael Wichterle notes. Despite the lower production guidance, he has a “buy” rating and a $3-pershare target price.

In Toronto, Ur-Energy lost 2.4% to close June 9 at 81¢ per share. TNM

epithermal silver mineralization on the property.

Ben Whiting, vice-president of exploration for Orex, tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview that it’s “possible” the two zones connect.

“They’re similar in elevation, rock type and styles of mineralization,” he says. “And we don’t know how much further west the new zone could go either, so it’s all looking very positive.”

Only months ago, Whiting says Sandra Escobar was a project with nothing but “dull grey rocks” at surface and anomalous stream sediment samples.

Yet the project sits in the heart of the Mexican Silver Trend — home to one of the world’s largest silver camps and deposits, including Fresnillo, Guanajuato, La Pitarrilla, La Preciosa, Real de Angeles and Zacatecas.

Being a veteran explorer in Durango state and backed by a management team that discovered Coeur Mining’s (NYSE: CDE) La Preciosa silver-gold deposit, Orex became interested and signed on with Canasil in September last year.

Under the agreement Orex can earn 55% of the project with a $500,000 upfront payment, followed by US$2 million in exploration expenses over three years. It can earn another 10% by spending US$2 million along with a cash payment of $500,000.

In January this year, the partners announced a drill intercept of 43.1 metres of 359 grams silver in the first hole of the maiden drill program.

BEN WHITING

VICE-PRESIDENT OF EXPLORATION, OREX MINERALS

Since then, Whiting says the footprint of mineralization is 550-by-200 metres, averages 35 metres thick and is open to the south and west.

He notes that mineralization is mostly native silver and silver halides, which work well with heapleach operations.

“We haven’t had this project for long, but we’ve moved ahead quickly, and we’re at a stage where people are asking how much it has,” he says. “We’re looking at getting a maiden resource on it, which gets us on the scoreboard for a lot of mining analysts.

Sandra Escobar formed when structurally controlled, silver-rich fluids became trapped underneath an impenetrable rhyolitic cap and flushed laterally into a porous volcaniclastic horizon.

“There are no regional examples similar to Sandra Escobar. It doesn’t have the bright red gossan that people like to bang their hammers on,” he says. “But once you develop an eye for it, it’s easy to see where the favourable horizons are. So maybe in a couple of years we’ll see deposits like this one all over the place.”

Orex has traded in a 52-week range of 10¢ to 84¢ per share and last closed at 84¢. Canasil last traded at 40¢ within a 52-week range of 3¢ to 44¢. TNM
