Metals scarcity could slow energy transition VRIC

| Solar power growth to drive silver demand

BY HENRY LAZENBY

W

hile the movement to an electrified future is already picking up pace, it will be much slower than some of the optimistic projections in the market today, CPM Group founder and managing director Jeffrey Christian told an industry event in Vancouver. He took silver as a prime example, pointing out that hundreds of millions more ounces of silver would need to be produced to keep up with projected growth, including from solar energy uses. “Solar power has gone from virtually no silver use twenty-five years ago to about 120 million ounces a year now, and that’s going to continue to grow,” he said during the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference on May 17. Christian has seen many “overly optimistic expectations” of how fast the green revolution can come. The precious metals and commodities expert cited the International Energy Agency (IEA), projecting that by 2050 the primary source of energy for humankind will still be oil. The second largest will be natural gas. “And all renewables combined will have supplanted coal only after 2040 to be the third largest,” he told the

conference. “The IEA and everybody else who’s sober knows that those governments have not lived up to their Paris Accord commitments, and really have no ability to live up to those. It’s an idealistic scenario. It’s just not there now,” he said. According to Christian, solar power will continue to grow exponentially. Even if the market successfully recycles significantly more silver from end-of-life panels, the world will need substantially more silver to cover the gap.

“Recycling will slow the growth rate of new silver required by the industry, but it won’t slow the growth rate of total silver used in the industry,” said Christian. “While silver goes into EV electronics, there are other constraints to the green revolutions such as the world not having enough clean energy to power the vehicles with, the grids are not stable enough, there’s not enough lithium, high-purity nickel, verifiable cobalt and manganese, and there’s not enough capital for the smaller companies that actually make these components and mine the stuff.” Jim Lewis, the co-founder of Wall Street Silver’s popular news site, provided some more context. “The figure that Mr. Christian used of 120 million ounces silver used in solar today accounts for only 2% of our electric grid being powered by solar. Various governments worldwide are mandating 10% or even 20% coming from wind and solar soon,” he said. “Let’s assume that silver solar power grows five-fold over some period of time. That means that solar power would be using half a billion ounces. And total demand is currently a billion ounces. This is sort of pie in the sky-type of stuff,” he said. TNM

Graham Farquharson — the straight shooter who busted Bre-X and changed the industry OBITUARY

I

| Founder of Strathcona Minerals Services also central to development of Nanisivik mine

BY NAIMUL KARIM

n May 1997, the editorial staff of The Northern Miner broke one of its own rules and bought an equity position in Bre-X Minerals. Journalists normally aren’t allowed to buy shares in companies they cover, but this paper spent $60 at the time to secure share certificates that could be framed. This, so that the newsroom would never forget the Busang scandal and Graham Farquharson’s role in unearthing a sham that changed the way mining companies report to the public. Farquharson passed away on May 2 in Toronto at the age of 81. He was the head of Strathcona Mineral Services, a consulting firm that audited the Busang property in Indonesia, a project that Calgary-based Bre-X Minerals claimed contained one of the world’s largest gold deposits. The announcement by Bre-X in 1995 sent the company’s shares soaring, from a mere penny stock to a peak of $286.50 in May 1996 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Strathcona’s audit however, revealed that the results were tampered with and that the only gold at Busang was the gold that Bre-X used to salt its samples. While the scandal tarnished Canada’s mining sector, it highlighted Farquharson’s credentials. But the Timmins-born mining engineer’s credibility was wellknown even before the Bre-X scandal, explains James Whyte, co-author of the book “Bre-X: Gold Today, Gone Tomorrow,” and former editor-in-chief of The Northern Miner. The rising gold price and a relatively new flow-through share tax structure combined to bring a lot of money into the junior mining industry in the late 1980s, which led to companies being formed to take advantage of the investor interest.

Too much money chased too many weak properties, Whyte said, which paved the way for the demise of many mining projects. “Strathcona had a record of successful mine-building by that time and was brought into many projects to see if they could be turned around,” Whyte says. “It always fell to Strathcona to tell investors the bad news. That gave Graham and Strathcona immense credibility because he didn’t shrink from telling it straight.” And when Bre-X needed to conduct an audit of its Indonesian project in 1997 after doubts were raised about the actual amount of gold in the property, it chose Strathcona, because the company knew no one would doubt the firm’s integrity. Upon assessing the initial evidence, Farquharson faxed Bre-X and said that the project didn’t contain any gold, which led to his team receiving a scrappy welcome when it reached Busang. “I know other consultants would have waited, they would say, we have to do this or that… Graham, if he saw something and he knew he was right, he told it,” says Reinhard von Guttenberg, a geologist who worked with Strathcona back then. Whyte, during an interview with Farquharson on Bre-X, remembers how the Strathcona head “very quietly said ‘we put a stop to that.’ Gentle manner, but strong where it counted,” Whyte recalls. Arctic pioneer Away from the scandal, Farquharson’s Strathcona is also credited with planning Canada’s first mine in the Arctic. He was hired by Mineral Resources International of Calgary to assess the Nanisivik lead-zinc deposit on Baffin Island. Despite bone-chilling temperatures, long, dark winters, permafrost extending more than 600 metres into the earth’s crust and thick sea ice preventing ship access

for all but two months, Farquharson — then only 33 years old — told the owners that he thought the deposit could be developed. After being rebuffed by major mining companies, financial support was secured from Germany, the Netherlands and the Canadian government. Nanisivik began commercial production in 1976, and under Strathcona’s management, operated successfully as one of the world’s lowest-cost zinc mines for more than 22 years. “People were skeptical (about the mine) but it was very successful,” says Graham Clow, who worked with Farquharson for a decade and is currently strategy director at SLR Consulting. Farquharson’s push to build a small mining town in the area was a key reason behind the project’s success. “He grew up in a mining town and he insisted on that… I think that led to a long-term success… you had a real sense of family community,” Clow says. Henrik Thalenhorst, another geologist who worked for Strathcona for several years, recalls how he almost spent Christmas at the mine because of a snowstorm that delayed plane access. “The most impressive memory is the moon circling above us 24 hours a day and absolutely no daylight, pitch dark 24 hours a day,” he says. Clow describes Farquharson as an honest, straight shooter who worked all the time. “You would find him on his desk on weekends… and even on Christmas at times,” he says. “He wasn’t right all the time (about projects), but everybody knew that he would tell it as he saw it,” he adds. Thalenhorst echoes a similar sentiment. “He served as a beacon for the industry in two ways, one is how to do proper technical work and the other one is how to be honest,” he says. While Farquharson’s work at the

ham’s case it made him strong, durable and he expected similar toughness of other people. He did not suffer weakness very easily,” Thalenhorst says.

Nanisivik mine and in exposing the Bre-X scandal, has dominated headlines, Reinhard believes his biggest contribution to the industry was how he consistently maintained Strathcona’s high quality. He recalls how a company in the 1980s, when the ‘flow-through mania’ was at its peak, had combined little gold intersections up into one “orebody” in a project and wanted Strathcona to report on it. “Graham said no… he always told the truth and it didn’t matter for him if the clients didn’t like it,” says Reinhard. Both Reinhard and Thalenhorst believe it was Farquharson’s “tough” childhood that made him resolute. The Strathcona founder got his first job at 12 and paid his father $20 a month for room and boarding, according to Reinhard. He was also in a cast for three years because of Perthes disease (a hip disorder) as a child. “He was in a cast for three years as a ten or twelve-year-old… that either destroys you as a person or that makes you strong.

raham was the founding director of Franco-Nevada Corporation when it was incorporated in October 2007. He was a core part of making Franco-Nevada a success and he loved the Company. Even after retiring from the board, he stayed involved as an honorary director and attended many of our meetings and dinners. His wisdom was an invaluable guide to our team on many of our investments. Graham was a statesman of Canada’s mining industry. He was both an inductee in the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame and a recipient of the Order of Canada. Most importantly to us, he was a member of the Franco-Nevada family. He will be missed.

Early years Farquharson spent his early years in the mining towns of Val-d’Or and Malartic, in Quebec, and Bathurst, N.B., before attending the University of New Brunswick. In 1960, his mining career began at a copper mine near Tilt Cove, Nfld. After graduating as a mining engineer from the University of Alberta in 1964, he spent four years in Africa at Kilembe in Uganda and Tsumeb in Namibia. Following an MBA at Queen’s University, he joined Watts, Griffis and McOuat before becoming one of the founding members of the consulting firm Strathcona in 1974. Aside from work, Farquharson was an accomplished runner and initiated the Nanisivik Midnight Sun Marathon. He was also interested in bird watching. Reinhard recalls that he walked around looking for birds while his team was drilling at Bre-X’s Busang, since the town was known for its wildlife. “He knew the outcome of this project, so he was not terribly concerned about what we were doing,” laughs Reinhard. “Technically that was the easiest project I ever had. Zero!” Thalenhorst joked, referring to the amount of gold they found at Busang. While Farquharson has been described as frugal since he didn’t spend more than what was necessary in projects, he heavily donated to educational institutions and supported university students considering mining as a career. Pierre Gratton, chairman of the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame, which inducted Farquharson in 2010, said that the mining engineer helped shape Canada’s “global leadership in mining.” “He truly dedicated his life to our industry and in service of it — leading companies such as Strathcona Mineral Services and as a director of Franco-Nevada,” Gratton told The Northern Miner. “His presence will be greatly missed in our industry, but his accomplishments are immortalized in the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame.” Whyte, who was always struck by Farquharson’s laid-back, quiet manner despite having “all the chops” to be very opinionated and aggressive, describes him as a person who most people in the mining business could “always trust.” The editorial published in The Northern Miner after the Bre-X scandal in May 1997, echoed a similar sentiment. “The share certificates… will serve as a permanent reminder that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is… That it is not what they tell you, but what they don’t tell you that matters… And that when Graham Farquharson calls someone’s samples ‘invalid,’ he means exactly what he says.” Farquharson was predeceased by his wife Anna-Liisa. He left behind his sister, Bonnie; nieces, Fiona (Mark), Susie (Andy) Caroline (Stefano); and numerous greatnieces and nephews.

BHP to speed up Jansen potash mine as Ukraine war weighs on supplies POTASH

B

| Invasion, sanctions on Russia compounding fertilizer shortage

BY CECILIA JAMASMIE

HP’s (NYSE: BHP; ASX: BHP) chief executive Mike Henry wants to gear up on the company’s $5.7-billion Jansen potash project in Saskatchewan as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused major disruptions to global fertilizer supplies. The ongoing war in Ukraine has left the world not only short of important grains but also fertilizers since neighbours Russia and Belarus account for almost 40% of global production. Belarus state-owned potash miner Belaruskali set off alarm bells mid-February by declaring force majeure on its contracts. This shook up a market that was already contending with soaring prices. Sanctions imposed on Russia after invading Ukraine have made the situation worse. Last year, BHP approved a US$5.7-billion investment to bring Jansen, located 140 km east of Saskatoon, into production. The company had mulled a final decision on the asset for at least eight years, during which it spent about US$4.5 billion laying the ground for the crop nutrient-producing project. “[Supply-side disruption linked to the war in Ukraine] has positively reinforced the decision we’ve taken to enter potash,” Henry said

BHP is expecting first production from its Jansen potash mine in Saskatchewan in 2026. BHP

at the Bank of America Metals and Mining conference in mid-May. “We are making good progress and we’re looking at potential to accelerate Jansen Stage 1 first production into 2026.” BHP had originally planned to kick off production in 2027. The company, Henry noted, has also begun studies for a second phase of development. “BHP is trying to accelerate first tonnes at Jansen, but it still seems best case is first tonnes come late 2026 with a two-year ramp,” BMO Fertilizers and Chemicals analyst, Joel Jackson, said in a note to investors. “We believe BHP needs to hire

about 600 miners for Jansen with the labour per tonne deemed lower than [competitors] Nutrien and Mosaic’s incumbent mines as BHP expected to employ less equipment per tonne and other innovation,” Jackson noted. Of the US$5.7-billion investment, BHP had awarded roughly US$1.4 billion in contracts so far and another US$200 million since the company published half-year results in February, which cover port infrastructure, underground mining systems and other shaft and surface construction activities. Jansen is expected to produce around 4.2 million tonnes a year of potash during the first phase. The

second would add an additional 4 million tonnes per year, at a capital intensity of between US$800 and US$900 per tonne, almost 30% lower than expected for phase one. The cost reduction would be possible because phase two will be able to leverage the infrastructure built along with phase one, including the shafts, Henry said. Quarter of global supply Potash is used as a fertilizer that also boosts drought tolerance and improves crop quality. BHP expects potash demand to increase by 15 million tonnes to roughly 105 million tonnes by 2040 or 1.5% to 3% a year, along with the

global population and pressure to improve farming yields given limited land supply. Jansen has the potential to produce 17 million tonnes a year under a four-phase development. This would account for about 25% of current global potash demand. “If we decide to bring on all four stages, and at prices just half of where they are today, we’d be generating around US$4 billion to US$5 billion of EBITDA [earnings before interest, depreciation, tax and amortization] per year,” Henry said. This compares to a five-year average of US$3 billion a year from the miner’s petroleum business. “Realistically, BHP has shown a path to 16 million tonnes of potash capacity for well over a decade, and there seems much in flux still [with] how the phases would come,” BMO’s Jackson wrote. BHP had tried to tap into the fertilizers market for some time. In 2010, it unsuccessfully bid US$38.6 billion for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, which in 2018 merged with Agrium Inc. to form Nutrien (TSE, NYSE: NTR). Given the current political climate and the continuing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic globally, BHP expects the current supply chain issues in the mining sector to take up to three years to resolve.

Illumiti helps mining companies reap the benefits of digitization BY NORTHERN MINER STAFF

Today’s mining companies are complex organizations that operate in dynamic and evolving business environments. To manage a successful mining operation involves navigating the diverse and increasingly complex challenges of sustainability, governance, and stakeholder engagement on top of the requirements of managing finances, inventories, and supply chains that are common to all operators. Illumiti, a leading Canadian-based systems integration and management consulting company, is helping mining companies improve their business operations by implementing a cost-effective solution to enterprise resource planning (ERP) based on SAP software and then tailoring it to the individual needs of the company. For most mining companies, “their core processes, such as finance, procurement, and maintenance are to a large degree the same no matter where they operate,” says Rory Friedman, Illumiti’s vice-president of mining. He says that by digitizing a company’s core business processes, Illumiti harnesses the power of the cloud and the basic functions of an ERP to help them improve cost control and make better decisions, which “can lead to efficiency gains, growth in revenues, and a more empowered workforce.” By leveraging industry best practices, Illumiti implements the system as quickly and responsibly as possible, Friedman explains. “When we first engage with a company, they often fall into the trap of believing that they need to create a perfect system with all the ‘bells and whistles’ attached.”

Miners using machines at a mine site. SHUTTERSTOCK

However, this approach, he says, can be often very costly and timeconsuming, alienating those tasked with implementing and adopting the system, and can take years before the benefits and value of the system to the company are realized. “Our platform can often be implemented in just a few months, accelerating the time to value for shareholders while also providing visibility to key stakeholders involved in the process, which helps to create buy-in from those who are critical to its successful implementation and deployment.” To achieve this, Illumiti utilizes a modular template with the critical processes common to all mining operations, says Friedman. “Rather than re-inventing the wheel every time, our solution is 80% pre-built, which allows the company to focus on the other 20%, and so provides them with a platform that continuously improves over time

and evolves with their business and the diverse and changing demands constantly placed on them.” Illumiti’s modular implementation approach is gaining considerable traction across the mining industry. The company has already helped more than 30 mining companies operating globally to reap the benefits of a faster, more efficient digitization of their business processes. “We generally introduce the ERP platform and protocols as early as the post feasibility study, before construction begins,” Friedman says. “The modular nature of the template means that the capabilities needed earliest are implemented at the start of the process, with additional capabilities added later as the mining operation matures.” He adds that by the time the mining operation goes into production, all the core modules are already in place and are tailored to the business’s specific needs.

Although each company’s situation is unique, with their business model, operations, and the markets they serve all determining their specific needs, Friedman compares implementing an ERP framework to building a house. “The platform can be seen as the plumbing or electricals or all the other common elements of the house’s foundations. Once these foundations are in place, the owners can then focus on bringing their furnishings to personalize the space.” In the same way, he says, Illumiti’s rapid implementation and integration of its ERP allows its core business processes to be quickly digitized, allowing the company to identify opportunities for improvements to these processes. “Eliminating errors introduced during manual data entry, for example, frees up managers and supervisors to focus more on analyzing data and problem solving

as they can take a more holistic approach to an operation, with the data collection and compilation left to the software,” Friedman says. He adds that, following implementation, the platform helps improve communications between different business functions such as finance, procurement, maintenance, and inventory management, which can “lead to smoother and more effective interactions between stakeholders across a business and the streamlining of operations.” According to Friedman, process automation and advanced technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence can be leveraged in various business functions like maintenance to drive material improvements by introducing predictive maintenance capabilities. He says invoices, for example, can be scanned and then rapidly and accurately compared with goods or services received, which “optimizes the system via automation, freeing up time to focus on analyzing data and identifying discrepancies instead of spending time entering data manually.” He adds that because all the data is contained in one system, retrieving vital information to help in understanding the cause of a problem “becomes much quicker and simpler, saving the company time and money.” Illumiti’s ERP platform provides a mining company “with the tools to help improve how the business operates instead of just operating the business,” Friedman says.

ver two weeks in late May into early June, three important mining districts are going to the polls, with mining and climate change set to influence outcomes to varying degrees. At press time, a federal election in mining-friendly Australia had already taken place. On May 21, AussBY ALISHA HIYATE ies chose a new government under Labour Party leader Anthony Albanese. The centre-left Albanese replaces Scott Morrison, who has led the Liberal Party and the ruling conservative Liberal-National coalition as prime minister since 2018. Albanese has signalled a new climate focus for Australia, which under Morrison had the weakest climate policies of all the G20 nations, and in his victory speech, said that the nation could become a renewable energy “superpower.” At the same time, Albanese has said he won’t phase out coal or prevent new coal mines from opening. Australia is the world’s largest exporter of metallurgical coal and second largest producer of thermal coal. Notably, the election saw Australia’s Green Party make headway in Queensland – a mining hub known as the nation’s most conservative state — with the Greens picking up three seats in the state capital of Brisbane. The eastern seaboard state, along with neighbouring New South Wales and Victoria, bore the brunt of wildfires that burned through 115,000 sq. km in the region from mid-2019 to early 2020. The “Greenslide” in Brisbane, and the election of “teal” independents calling for climate action in other cities, indicates that voters are still reeling from the impact of the “Black Summer,” as well as more recent severe flooding. On May 29, another major coal exporter, Colombia, will hold a firstround presidential election that could see the country’s first-ever leftist president win power. Polls put Gustavo Petro, a senator and former mayor of Bogota, ahead of his rivals. In second place is Federico Gutierrez, a centre-right former mayor of Medellin and civil engineer by training; and in third, Rodolfo Hernández, an independent who has promised to crack down on corruption and proposes to legalize cocaine. Pollsters believe the vote will be close, resulting in a run-off second-round vote in June. Before entering politics, Petro was once a guerilla with the M-19 rebel group — notorious for its siege of the Supreme Court in 1985 that ended in more than 90 deaths when the government tried to recapture the site by force. The group later became a political party. Petro’s current campaign is focused on reducing poverty, protecting the environment, and building a decarbonized, knowledge-based economy. He has also proposed ending oil and gas exploration in the country and outlawing open pit mining. There’s just one problem: fossil fuels are core to Colombia’s economy, with oil and gas currently accounting for 40% of foreign direct investment and 55% of its total exports, while the nation is the fifth-largest coal exporter globally. Ahead of the vote, the Colombian Mining Association (ACM) announced that it expects the mining sector to contribute a record 8.8 trillion pesos (US$2.2 billion) to the country this year through taxes and royalties. The figure represents a 69% increase over 2021 due largely to rising coal and nickel prices. In a May press conference, ACM President Juan Camilo Nariño sought to remind citizens and the presidential candidates of the importance of mining to the energy transition. “Colombia and the world cannot live without mining,” he said, according to a Reuters report. “There is no chance that the greener world we all want to see will happen without more mining.” In Ontario, voters will head to the polls on June 2. Like Australia’s Morrison, Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government has lagged on climate change, even rolling back climate friendly policies and commitments the previous Liberal government had put in place. However, climate change hasn’t been a galvanizing force in Ontario (where coal is neither mined nor part of the nuclear-dominated energy mix), with voters more concerned about the rising cost of living. At press time, Ford was on track for another majority government with 35.7% support, according to CBC News’ Poll Tracker. Steven Del Duca’s Liberals were second with 27.7% support, Andrea Horwath’s New Democrats third at 24.1% and Mike Schreiner’s Green Party at 6.7%. In a sign that, at least in Canada, mining is finally being explicitly recognized as key to the energy transition, none of the three major parties can be construed as anti-mining, based on their platforms or leaders’ statements during the campaign, which kicked off on May 3. (Horwath, during the May 10 northern issues leaders’ debate invoked support for local processing and refining of minerals for the jobs it would create — a comment that could have been uttered by any of the three major party leaders. All of them also support development of the Ring of Fire.) While Ford has not prioritized climate action, he has recently focused on the jobs and economic benefits that the energy transition could bring to the province through manufacturing of electric vehicles and the development of a local battery supply chain. In March, the government committed $513 million to help automaker Stellantis invest in building EVs locally. It also unveiled its critical minerals strategy, pledging $29 million in investment — mostly through the Ontario Junior Mining Exploration Program — with $5 million set aside for a new Critical Minerals Innovation Fund. And it has provided support to Electra Battery Materials and its cobalt refinery in northern Ontario, as well as a study on the viability of a new battery materials park. Many of these announcements have come just this year (well behind similar investments Quebec has made) and don’t constitute a comprehensive plan for Ontario to become a leader in EV development and manufacturing or to fight climate change. Rather than any particular commitment by the government to anything beyond job-creation, the announcements signal that the energy transition —even if not a voting issue — can’t be ignored. TNM

Queen Elizabeth II actually reached her 70 years on the throne back in February (as I wrote at the time) but, ever pragmatic, we delayed the celebrations until the anniversary of her coronation in 1953 (and warmer weather). The British are accustomed to adjusting the date of celebrations. The Queen was born on Apr. 21, 1926, but her official birthday is marked with Trooping of the Colour in June. This tradition dates back to King George II (1683-1760), who decided that the weather on his real birthday (November 10) was too miserable for parades. In 1748 he moved the monarch’s official birthday to the second Thursday in June (it was altered in 1959 to the second Saturday; June 11 this year). The date chosen to celebrate the monarch’s official birthday varies enormously around the Commonwealth. In Canada, for example, it is celebrated as ‘Victoria Day’ (a holiday initially bestowed in honour of Queen Victoria) on the last Monday before May 25 (as it is in parts of Scotland). In Australia, the official birthday is generally celebrated as a holiday on the second Monday in June. Queensland, however, has marked the occasion since 2016 on the first Monday in October (to better spread out public holidays), and Western Australia decides annually on the best date (Sept. 26 this year). Bizarrely, although the monarch’s official birthday is a holiday in most Commonwealth countries, it is not a day off in the U.K. More importantly, perhaps, it traditionally marks the start of summer here and in Canada (and the skiing season in Australia). With drilling near a 10-year high, the metals and minerals exploration community also have cause to celebrate, especially those searching for copper and gold. Although these two metals are only the third and fourth most valuable mined commodities (after coal and iron ore), they account for the lion’s share of activity amongst exploration companies, and are the bellwether of the whole sector. Copper and gold accounted for a combined mined value of almost US$380 billion in 2021. This is

about the same as the extracted value of iron ore last year, but all three metals are still dwarfed by the value of mined coal. Both metals have seen price rallies over the past two years, with gold reaching its highest monthly average of US$1,970 per oz. in August 2020, and copper briefly reaching a record US$11,300 per tonne in October 2021. These better market conditions saw funding by junior and intermediate companies rise 78% in 2021 to a record US$21.6 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. With more money in hand, S&P Global reports that total exploration expenditure rose 35% in 2021 to US$11.2 billion, although barely one-quarter was earmarked for grassroots locations. The search for gold represented 55% of the overall spend, with the budget jumping 42% last year to US$6.2 billion. Of this amount, an estimated US$2.7 billion was devoted to initial-resource exploration in 2021. As a result, gold contained in initial resources more than doubled last year to an all-time high of 76 million oz. according to S&P Global (although the number of initial gold resource announcements rose only 14% to 40). Canada hosted the most gold in announced initial resources (34.9 million oz.) for a third consecutive year. This total was from only nine initial resource announcements, according to S&P Global, bringing the total for the past five years to 38, compared with 60 such announcements in Australia. Exploration expenditure in the search for copper rose 31% in 2021 to US$2.3 billion, representing 21% of the industry’s total exploration budget. S&P Global estimates that the amount allocated to initial resource exploration for copper was US$1.2 billion — only 3% lower than the pre-pandemic level in 2019 (but still just half of the amount allocated in 2012). Reflecting this effort, the number of copper initial resource announcements jumped 38% to a seven-year high of 18 last year (albeit still well behind the 57 announcements in 2012), although the contained copper fell 2% to 9 million tonnes (23 million tonnes in 2012). So, plenty to celebrate at PDAC, which starts two days after the Queen’s official birthday; we’ll save you some cake.

Review board rejects Baffinland expansion plans in Nunavut IRON ORE

B

| Territorial panel fears negative impacts on wildlife, Inuit culture ative impacts on narwhals. The company agreed to avoid ice breaking in spring, based on “the precautionary principle that is the foundation of our adaptive management plan,” Baffinland’s CEO said in a statement at the time.

BY CECILIA JAMASMIE

affinland Iron Mines’ proposed expansion of its Mary River iron ore operation on the northern tip of Baffin Island, in Nunavut, has suffered a major blow after a review board advised against the project on environmental grounds. After four years of consultations and deliberations, the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) rejected on May 13 the miner’s request to more than double output to 12 million tonnes a year, eventually reaching 30 million tonnes annually. The board cited “significant adverse ecosystemic effects” on marine mammals such as narwhals, fish, caribou and other wildlife, which in turn could harm Inuit culture, as the main reason for the decision. The company said it was both surprised and disappointed by the board’s decision. “Our… proposal is based on years of in-depth study and detailed scientific analysis, and has considerable local support based on years of consultation with Inuit and local communities,” CEO Brian Penney said in the statement. “We will be asking the federal government to consider all of the evidence and input and to approve the… application with fair and rea-

sonable conditions,” Penney noted. Dan Vandal, the federal northern affairs minister, has 90 days to either side with the review board or with the mining company, in which steel giant ArcelorMittal has a 28% stake. The rest of Baffinland is held by Nunavut Iron Ore Inc., which is controlled by a Texas-based private equity firm called the Energy & Minerals Group. Mary River, considered one of the world’s richest iron deposits, opened in 2015 and ships about 6

million tonnes of ore a year. If the expansion is approved, Baffinland would send about 12 million tonnes of the 30 million tonnes via the North Railway to Milne Port. It also plans to build a second railway to Steensby Port, from which it intends to ship an additional 18 million tonnes of ore a year. Current shipping volumes have already had a “devastating” impact on the area’s narwhal population, the world’s densest, vice-chair-

person of the Mittimatalik Hunters and Trappers Organization, Enookie Inuarak, said in an emailed statement. Narwhals are a type of whale that is an important predator in Eclipse Sound and other Arctic waters, as well as a major food source for Inuit in the region. Last year, a group of hunters from Arctic Bay and Pond Inlet blocked access to the mine in protest against the company’s ice breaking practices due to their neg-

Loss of economic benefits In its report, the NIRB acknowledged the loss of economic benefits the Phase 2 expansion would cause to Inuit, which has been conservatively estimated at $2.4 billion based on the current size of the known mineral resource. “Many residents in the affected communities also expressed the view that the potential positive socio-economic benefits of the proposal focus on financial benefits, while the negative socio-economic effects focus on effects on land use, harvesting, culture and food security that cannot be compensated with money,” NIRB said in the 441page report. The same board recommended against construction of the Back River gold project in Nunavut’s Kitikmeot region in 2016. Then-federal minister Carolyn Bennett rejected that advice and asked NIRB to give Sabina Gold & Silver’s (TSX: SBB) project a second chance. The mine was approved the following year and it now stands as a fully permitted, financing package settled and shovel-ready project. TNM

Hudbay suffers major Rosemont setback COPPER

C

| Court in Arizona upholds previous decision blocking open pit project

BY HENRY LAZENBY

anada’s Hudbay Minerals (TSX: HBM; NYSE: HBM) has suffered a fresh setback in its bid to build the Rosemont open pit copper project in Arizona following an appeals court ruling that upheld a 2019 decision that blocked the project. In the split decision issued on May 12, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit court agreed with the District Court of Arizona’s 2019 ruling that the U.S. Forest Service relied on incorrect assumptions regarding its legal authority and the validity of Rosemont’s unpatented mining claims in issuing the final environmental impact statement. Circuit Judge William Fletcher said on behalf of the majority panel that no one disputed that Rosemont had valid mining rights on the land where it planned to dig the 3,000-ft. deep by 6,500-ft. wide open pit mine. But, the 1.9 billion tons of waste rock that the company planned to dump on 2,447 acres of Coronado National Forest land was the crux of the issue. The pit itself will occupy just over 950 acres. “When operations cease after 20 to 25 years, waste rock on the 2,447 acres would be 700 feet deep and would occupy the land in perpetuity,” said the judge in a written decision. The U.S. Forest Service approved Rosemont’s mining plan of operations (MPO) on two separate grounds. Firstly, the service concluded that Section 612 of the Surface Resources and Multiple Use Act of 1995 gave Rosemont the right to dump its waste rock on

open National Forest Land, without regard to whether it has any mining rights on that land, as a “use reasonably incident” to its operations at the mine pit. Secondly, the service assumed that under the Mining Law of 1872, Rosemont had valid mining claims on the 2,447 acres it proposed to occupy with its waste rock. District court decision The district court held that neither grounds supported the Forest Service’s approval for Rosemont’s MPO. It held that Section 612 grants no rights beyond those granted by the Mining Law. It further held that there was no basis for the service’s assumption that Rosemont’s mining claims were valid under the Mining Law. Indeed, based on a conclusion that there are no valuable minerals on the claims, the court held that the claims were, in fact, invalid. Therefore, the district court concluded that the service acted arbitrarily and capriciously in approving the entirety of Rosemont’s MPO in its final EIS and record of decision, the decision reads. “We affirm the district court,”

said Fletcher. The judge, however, noted that the Ninth Circuit did not rely, as the district court did, on a conclusion that no valuable minerals existed on the claims but rather that the claims were invalid because no valuable minerals had been found on the claims. The Center for Biological Diversity, which brought the legal challenge, welcomed the decision. Roger Flynn, director and managing attorney for the Western Mining Action Project, who argued the case for a coalition of conservation groups, said the court correctly relied on the facts and the letter of the law to invalidate the mine approval. “The Forest Service’s assumption that Hudbay had automatic rights under the 1872 Mining Law to permanently bury thousands of acres of public land with waste dumps contradicted, as the court held, ‘a century of precedent.’ The agency and Rosemont cannot unilaterally revise the Mining Law to suit the company’s needs. The court properly held that ‘amendment of the Mining Law is a task for Congress, not for the Service,

and certainly not for us,’” he said in a statement. In an overnight press release, Hudbay retorted that while reviewing the decision, it would continue to pursue its alternative plan to advance the adjacent Copper World project. In its March quarter results report released on May 9, Hudbay outlined initial plans for Copper World and Rosemont, stating that a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) slated to be released before the end of June would incorporate a two-phase mine plan. The first would be a standalone operation using Hudbay’s private land for processing infrastructure and contemplating mining portions of Copper World and Rosemont located on patented mining claims. The first phase is expected to require only state and local permits

and reflects a 15-year mine life. The second phase of the mine plan is expected to extend the mine life and incorporate an expansion onto federal lands to mine the entire Rosemont and Copper World deposits. The second phase of the mine plan would be subject to the federal permitting process. “The company expects it will be able to pursue the federal permits within the constraints imposed by the decision, if any subsequent appeals are not successful,” Hudbay said. Rosemont hosts total proven and probable mineral reserves of 537.1 million tonnes grading 0.45% copper. At $7.20 per share, Hudbay’s Toronto-quoted equity is down about 19% over the past 12 months, giving it a market capitalization of $1.9 billion. TNM

African leaders talk up policy reform and regional cooperation MINING INDABA

| Generational opportunity for economic upliftment exists

BY HENRY LAZENBY CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

T

he Investing in Africa Mining Indaba, held in Cape Town in May, heard that African leaders are waking up to the fact that the continent stands at the precipice of a generational opportunity to reinvent itself as the global energy transition accelerates. To reap the benefits of meaningful economic upliftment, several African leaders spoke of ongoing policy reforms to attract new investment and create new regional value chains to service the emerging green economy. South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, told the Indaba audience that policy reforms are fundamental to restoring mining as the critical driver of economic development that made the country Africa’s most industrialized economy in the first place. “Despite the great prospects for South African mining, we face significant challenges. It is a great concern that South Africa has fallen into the bottom 10 of the Fraser Institute’s investment attractiveness index ratings. We’re currently standing at 75th of 84,” he lamented. The ranking underlines the fundamental reality that South Africa needs to move with a greater purpose to remove the various impediments and constraints to the growth and development of the industry. “We understand very clearly the need to fix the regulatory and administrative problems that have crept into the system. We need to clear the backlog of mining and prospecting rights and mineral rights transfer applications and implement a modern and much more efficient cadastral system and implement an effective exploration strategy,” Ramaphosa said. “We understand very clearly the need to significantly improve the functioning of our railways, which have fallen into disrepair, our ports which are not performing at optimal levels, and the vital importance of ensuring a secure and reliable supply of affordable electricity. These tasks are at the forefront of our economic reconstruction,” said Ramaphosa. He noted the South African government had made significant headway in driving a policy reform program. An important area of progress is regulatory reform to facilitate new

electricity generation by the mining and other sectors to meet the deficit that the country has been dealing with for the past decade. “Regulations have been amended to allow companies to invest in new generation capacity, up to about 100 megawatts, without needing a licence. We are working further to cut red tape for the registration of projects to accelerate the environmental approvals and strengthen the capacity of our energy generation company Eskom and municipalities to link such projects to the grid,” said the president. According to the Minerals Council, in South Africa, around 4,000 megawatts or 65 billion rand ($5.3 billion) of such electricity generation capacity investment was in the pipeline. “The unbundling of Eskom into separate entities for transmission for distribution and generation is on track

and is set to be completed later this year,” he said. Further, South Africa is working with the Department of Water and Sanitation to implement a turnaround plan to issue water use licences that the mining industry relies upon. “We’re working towards a target of 80% of all applications being resolved within 90 days, and this will have moved from a process that took three years for a mining use licence or water use licence to be approved,” Ramaphosa said. On Transnet, the national rail operator, Ramaphosa noted the recent publication of the white paper on national rail policy, outlining plans to revitalize rail infrastructure and enable third-party access to the freight rail network. “We have heard the calls from industry for private operators to be allowed to operate the country’s dedicated coal, iron ore and manganese lines,” Ramaphosa said. The South African president is keen to draw on the experiences of neighbouring countries to work together with the industry and other stakeholders to strengthen the capacity of security services and law enforcement agencies to tackle illegal mining, widespread cable theft and general damage to infrastructure. “We’re setting up focus teams in the security establishment to deal with these challenges, and several successes are already being recorded.” New African value chains Ramaphosa also committed to mobilizing the necessary resources and providing incentives for a new wave of exploration, particularly the minerals needed for the global energy transition. The recently released exploration strategy and implementation plan lays out South Africa’s ambition to focus on future strategic metals such as copper, which is in great abundance in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and nickel, cobalt and rare earths. “We aim to not only become an important hub for the production and export of green hydrogen, but also of green ammonia, green iron and steel and sustainable aviation jet fuel. South Africa’s hydro-

gen strategy aims to stimulate and guide innovation along the value chain of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. This will sustain demand for platinum group metals and position South Africa to derive benefits from supplying high value-added products,” Ramaphosa said. This is a message other African leaders present at the Indaba shared. Zambia’s president, Hakainde Hichilema, told the conference that mining was the anchor of his fledgling government’s “New Dawn” approach to reinvigorating the country’s economy. “The DRC and Zambia hold more than 70% of the world’s copper resources. It cannot be ignored. We must use it to scale our people out of poverty,” Hichilema said. That entails building downstream linkages and hammering on the manufacturing of goods and consumables, and services supporting the energy transition. “We are committed to building a resilient, sustainable mining industry anchored on environmental social and governance standards and best practices because this is a bare minimum. If we can do it correctly, our determination to further industrialization will lead to sustainable job creation. The business opportunities are obvious,” Hichilema said. “Zambia, just like South Africa, is open for business. We are putting in place factors that will catalyze this transition.” Hichilema said his government is responding to the high demand for copper, having set the ambitious goal of pushing copper output to more than 3 million tonnes per year from 830 tonnes annually. “Between South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and the DRC, plus others, we need to find common ground to fix our railways and move goods by rail. We need this region to work together to establish a regional supply chain able to service the new green economy,” Hichilema said. The DRC’s prime minister, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde Kyenge, agreed. He underlined that the country boasted “incredible resource wealth,” yet only

19% of the country had been adequately explored. “All this mining potential is very important. But it needs to be complementary to developing the value chain for battery production for EVs,” said Sama Lukonde Kyenge. “But to do so, we need collaboration between all producing countries. We have cobalt and lithium, but we need to collaborate with other African countries like South Africa for nickel. Together we can create an African value chain geared towards the energy transition,” he said. To this end, the governments of Zambia and the DRC last month signed a memorandum of understanding to facilitate the development of value chains in the electric battery and clean energy sector. “We’ve agreed on an MoU with Zambia to cooperate on electric batteries. We want to extend the partnership to other countries too. It entails increased green energy production and distribution to ensure energy security and power our emerging manufacturing sector,” he said. “There is a clear commitment by the heads of states here to support each other in the mining sector and ensure that we go towards a fairer world where we work together to fight climate change,” said Sama Lukonde Kyenge. Botswana’s president, Mokgweetsi Masisi, said mining remained the most critical sector of the country’s economy. He implored investors to “seriously consider coming to Botswana to carry out exploration and mining projects,” as his government was completing a project that would bring geological mapping coverage for exploration to 90% nationwide. The slow uptake of mineral beneficiation industries to diversify the economy had, according to Masisi, for years been “a thorn in the flesh.” “Beneficiation will mean we are fully taking ownership of the value chain of our minerals across the spheres of upstream, midstream, and downstream mining economic activities instead of exporting these to other countries,” he said.

Robert Friedland sees Africa, Arabian Shield, as future of responsible mining MINING INDABA

| Financier says continent and region could fuel the green revolution

BY HENRY LAZENBY CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

“AFRICA HAS PRODUCED ALMOST NO GLOBAL WARMING, YET IT HAS A TOTAL POPULATION LARGER THAN CHINA’S. SO, HOW DO WE GET TO A WORLD WITHOUT ALL THAT AIR POLLUTION… WHILE STILL BEING FAIR TO THE AFRICANS?”

G

lobal mining personality and financier Robert Friedland has singled out Africa and the Arabian Shield as the venues where the world’s future-facing minerals and metals will be responsibly produced. “This is where humanity is going to make it or break it,” he told the Investing in Africa Mining Indaba, in Cape Town, on May 11. The founder and executive co-chair of Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) pointed out that the large copper mines in Latin America are aging and declining in grade, requiring increasing amounts of fossil fuel-derived energy to process ever-increasing tonnages to keep up with historical production. “They’re very low grade, and they produce a lot of global warming gas. They have a lot of work to do to make them green. It’s Africa where you have a young population where you have the possibility for introducing sustainable development,” he said during one of his usual ‘shock and awe’ bravado presentations. Friedland said that to date, humanity has mined about 700 million tonnes of copper. The problem is that we’ll need to mine that same amount in the next 22 years to keep up with the deepening green energy transition. “If we’re going to change and stop burning coal and stop burning oil, we can’t put Africa into poverty. We must maintain economic growth,” he said. Friedland said that in the last 250 years, Europe has generated 531 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, and the United States alone has produced 416 billion tonnes of carbon emissions. “That’s how London got built. That’s how Germany got built. That’s how New York got built; Los Angeles,” he said. The relatively late bloomer China is catching up, creating 235 billion tonnes of emissions. But in comparison, Africa has produced only about 47 billion tonnes. “Africa has produced almost no global warming, yet it has a total population larger than

China’s. So, how do we get to a world without all that air pollution and with clean air while still being fair to the Africans? It’s a huge question,” he said. The crux of the issue, in his view, is the urgent global need to reduce air pollution. According to the World Health Organization, air quality is the single most significant risk to health. Urbanization exacerbates this trend. For this reason, the energy revolution is accelerating at an unprecedented cadence. For example, Saudi Arabia wants to reduce their mineral imports and derive 50% of its energy from renewable energy. “When you look at renewable energy and want to reduce dependence on hydrocarbon, you need the mining industry. There’s just no escaping it,” he said. The ‘electric-everything’ era Friedland points out that the problem is that renewable technologies are “incredibly” energy and metals-intensive. We’re going to have a freakout as we try to change the world economy unless we develop a lot more mines,” Friedland said. Solar and wind energy require between seven and 37 times more copper per unit of electrical energy produced than simply burning oil or having a nuclear power plant.

“The new giant windmills as tall as the Eiffel Tower – these are the next generation ones – they’re 12 megawatts each. That’s a lot of power per windmill. In the U.S., we will need 5.5 million tonnes of copper just in the next few years to put up these big General Electric windmills. Where is this copper going to come from?” he said. According to Goldman Sachs, the world had entered “a molecule crisis.” Chief executive Jeff Curry believes the world is running out of all minerals. “We’re out of everything. I don’t care if it’s oil, gas, coal, copper, aluminum — you name it — we’re out of it. We saw US$500 coal prices recently — that’s crazy,” he said. Friedland continued to sketch a dire scenario where mining cannot keep up with the demands of the energy revolution. By 2030, 20 million EV charging points will need 250% more copper. By 2040, passenger EVs will require 3.7 million tonnes more copper per year. In contrast, internal combustion engine-driven vehicles need only about 1 million tonnes of incremental copper. “We need eight new Kamoa-Kakula mines to supply the expected nine-million-tonne copper supply gap by 2030,” he said. (Friedland’s Ivanhoe Mines

has several mines and projects in Africa, including Kamoa-Kakula in the DRC, which began producing copper concentrates in May 2021. Through phased expansions, Kamoa-Kakula is positioned to become one of the world’s largest copper producers, and will be powered by clean, renewable hydro-generated electricity.) At the world’s largest copper mine, Escondida, grades are falling. Its energy needs increased 16-fold to produce the same amount of copper. Meanwhile, social upheaval in South America against climate change and mining is ironically impeding its potential role in the emerging green economy. Wood Mackenzie, in 2021 said the world needs to invest US$240 billion in the next five years to meet growing demand. “That’s a pretty big number. We put about US$2.5 billion into the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). We’re probably halfway through our current expansion of about US$5 to US$6 billion of capital investment required. And this is the best development project on a planetary scale,” he said. According to Friedland’s data, a single 1,000-lb. electric vehicle battery requires 500,000 lb. of raw material. “To transition just the world’s passenger cars to electric, we have to mine more materials in

the next 30 years than we mined throughout human history,” he said. “Tesla expects a global battery minerals shortage. Maybe, therefore, Elon Musk was selling a few shares. He’s blaming it on a Twitter poll; remember that. But perhaps he realizes there won’t be enough metals around to satisfy these ambitious growths charts,” Friedland said. And now Mercedes has come out with a 1,000 km-range vehicle on a single charge, he noted. “Shouldn’t everybody in Africa have a car like that? Why not? But how do we get there from here? We must change the way we generate electrical energy. We have to change the way we transmit electrical energy, changing the way the whole supply chain is driven. We need orders of magnitude more responsible mining to achieve this,” Friedland said. ‘Hydrogen century’ With that, Friedland heralded the advent of the “hydrogen century” for South Africa. He noted South Africa is home to the most significant platinum-palladium assets globally. No one has figured out how to use the most common element in the universe, hydrogen, without platinum. “The hydrogen economy is opening soon at a theatre near you,” he said, pointing to examples of the hydrogen economy already taking off. Airbus is testing a hydrogen-powered engine on an Airbus 380 Jumbo. “The only thing coming out of those engines is water, water vapour. But you can’t do it without platinum metal. And the British want to convert every train to hydrogen fuel cells, eliminating all diesel engines on the trains,” he said. According to Friedland, the hydrogen fuel cell technology entirely depends on South African platinum. “We’re not going to buy it from the Russian Tsar. He’s killing people with his cash flow. Until he stops that kind of behaviour, we will not buy his platinum. Certainly not in Europe, not in the United States and certainly not in civilized countries who think about the moral imperative of the supply chain,” he said. TNM

US touts green energy as the key to bridging Africa’s growth gap MINING INDABA BY HENRY LAZENBY CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

T

he United States government’s initiatives to help address Africa’s power and growth gaps are increasingly focused on boosting the continent’s ability to produce green energy and facilitate foreign investment, the Investing in Africa Mining Indaba heard in May. Jose W. Fernandez, U.S. undersecretary for economic growth, energy and the environment, said any energy policy that warms our planet simply can’t continue. “We also know that moving to a clean energy transition will not happen overnight. In some cases where carbon-neutral options are unavailable, engagement on natural gas projects, abated to the fullest degree possible, may be necessary,” he said.

The U.S. has singled out a more efficient electricity supply as one of its top foreign policy priorities for Africa. This goes in parallel with the continent navigating a just and inclusive clean energy transition, leading to economic growth and prosperity; building robust, sustainable, and transparent supply chains for critical minerals in support of the clean energy transition; and improving the financial and regulatory environment in the sector and promoting transparent and accountable natural resource management. For this reason, the Obama administration-era Power Africa program, administered by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has supported the development of more than 5,700 megawatts (MW) of new generation capacity since

2013. According to USAID data, it aims to add more than 30,000 MW of output by 2030, sufficient to power 60 million homes and businesses. Among the projects Fernandez highlighted is the Mega Solar initiative in Namibia and Botswana, which will facilitate the procurement of as many as 5,000 MW of renewable energy, according to Fernandez. Southern Africa’s most extensive solar power-generation program will power millions of homes and generate thousands of jobs while preventing an estimated 3.5 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually. Power Africa has been ramping up activity. In April, it launched a new public and private partnership seeking to electrify an additional 10,000 health care facilities

in sub-Saharan Africa within the next decade. Fernandez also highlighted an initiative called Prosper Africa, which was announced by the Trump administration seeking to

connect American and African businesses. The U.S. government uses this initiative to push Africa toward cleaner energy. See GREEN ENERGY / 16

Elemental shareholders reject Gold Royalties’ hostile takeover bid M&A

| Discounted offer not in company’s best interests, says CEO

BY NAIMUL KARIM

old Royalties (NYSE-AM: GROY) failed to acquire Elemental Royalties (TSXV: ELE) as its all-share hostile takeover bid expired on May 12, bringing an end to a saga that began in October. Less than 5% of its shares were tendered to the bid, Elemental said, adding that Gold Royalty had failed to meet the statutory minimum tender condition of more than 50%. “This hostile bid has been an unfortunate and unnecessary drain on Elemental management’s time and resources,” Elemental’s CEO, Frederick Bell said in a press release. “Elemental shareholders have again overwhelmingly chosen to reject the hostile bid, which was never a compelling proposition and currently represents a material discount to Elemental shareholders rather than the premium announced by Gold Royalty,” he added. On Dec. 20, Gold Royalties said it was taking its offer to acquire Elemental directly to the company’s shareholders, after its two previous approaches to the junior — the first on Oct. 21 and the second on Dec. 15 — failed to engage Elemental’s board of directors. Elemental said that the offer — 0.27 common shares of Gold Roy-

alty for every share of Elemental Royalties — was not in the best interests of the company and

repeatedly recommended over the last few months that shareholders reject the bid.

The company told The Northern Miner that the final value of the bid was a discount of approximately 29% to the value of Elemental’s shares, based on May 12’s closing prices of US$2.78 for Gold Royalty and $1.37 for Elemental, and a Canadian dollar exchange rate of US77¢. “While we strongly believe in the merits of a combination with Elemental, we were ultimately unable to obtain the engagement and accord required to reach a board-supported, mutually beneficial transaction,” David Garofalo, Gold Royalty CEO said in a press release. The CEO, however, said that the company won’t waiver from its “pursuit of value-enhancing acquisitions.” Ever since going public in March 2021 Gold Royalty has been an active acquirer, amassing a portfolio of more than 190 royalties through the acquisition of royalty companies including Ely Gold Royalties, Abitibi Royalties, and Golden Valley Mines and Royalties. One of the reasons the bid failed was Gold Royalty’s “little revenue and a big market cap,” one analyst told The Northern Miner following the takeover bid. “Elemental has much more revenue and is smaller.

So, Elemental and their shareholders didn’t see the economic justification for a merger,” the analyst said. The analyst believes Elemental is undervalued, but still reckons that the company should merge to get some scale and market attention. Jacques Wortman, a mining analyst who covers Elemental Royalties at Laurentian Bank Securities Equity Research, described Gold Royalty’s offer as a “compelling proposition” for Elemental’s shareholders in a research note sent to clients in December. But Wortman also expected a competing bid to emerge due to Elemental’s “compelling combination of quality, high-value royalty positions and near-term revenue growth and critical mass.” In a research note published in December, Kerry Smith, a mining analyst at Haywood Securities, pointed out Elemental’s small shareholder list with about half of the shares in “friendly hands,” a factor that would require any bid to be cordial. At press time in Toronto, shares of Gold Royalties were trading at $3.26 apiece, while shares of Elemental Royalties were trading at $1.42 within a 52-week trading range of $1.21 and $1.78. TNM

Nouveau Monde and Mason Graphite set to form JV to advance Lac Guéret in Quebec GRAPHITE

N

| Deal could more than double long-term production capacity

BY NAIMUL KARIM

ouveau Monde Graphite (TSX-V: NOU; NYSE: NMG) and Mason Graphite (TSX-V: LLG; US-OTC: MGPHF) on May 16 entered into an option and joint venture agreement to advance Mason Graphite’s Lac Guéret project in northeastern Quebec. As part of the deal, Nouveau will have the option to own 51% of the property if it invests $5 million in Mason Graphite and spends $10 million on advancing the property. It would also be required to co-fund a preliminary economic assessment and a bankable feasibility study based on a production scale of at least 250,000 tonnes per year of graphite concentrate. In addition, Nouveau has inked a non-binding agreement with Mason’s subsidiary, Black Swan, to use the latter’s graphene processing technology in its Phase-1 natural graphite flake concentrator in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, Que. and establish a fully integrated facility for graphite ore and graphene-finished products. “The partnership announced today has the potential to propel Québec’s graphite industry on the world stage,” said Pierre Fitzgibbon, Quebec’s Minister of Economy and Innovation, in a press release. “By combining the strengths of the two most advanced projects in North America…we are solidifying our battery value chain.” Located about 285 km north of Baie-Comeau, the property covers 40 sq. km. and has proven and prob-

able reserves of 4.7 million tonnes grading 27.8% graphitic carbon for 1.3 million tonnes of graphite. The project, which Mason says has received the province’s permission to begin construction, also has measured and indicated resources of 65.5 million tonnes grading 17.2% graphitic carbon for 11.2 million tonnes of graphite. Inferred resources add 17.6 million tonnes grading 17.3% graphite for 3.4 million tonnes of the mineral.

A feasibility study released in December 2018 outlined a 25-year project with average annual graphite production of 51,900 tonnes. The study pegged the capital investment at $258.2 million and the construction period at about 13 to 16 months. At an 8% discount, the project is expected to generate an aftertax net present value of $278 million and an internal rate of return of 21.7%, using a gold price of

US$1,465 per tonne. According to Fahad Al-Tamimi, Mason Graphite chairman, the deal combines the “best attributes of the North American graphite industry.” Eric Desaulniers, CEO of Nouveau Monde, said the transaction showed that the company has a “realistic growth strategy” and the ambition of being a preferred supplier for “the generation to come.” The deal is expected to close in the first week of July.

Nouveau Monde is targeting first production at its Matawinie graphite mine, in Saint-Micheldes-Saints, Que., in 2023. Its vertically integrated business model involves mining at Matawinie and producing value-added forms of high-purity graphite at its purification facility in Bécancour to serve the lithium-ion battery and fuel cell markets. BMO analyst Robin Fiedler, who follows Nouveau Monde, described the company’s joint-venture obligations in the deal as “manageable,” despite having its “hands full” with the company’s own operational and funding needs. The deal could more than double the company’s graphite capacity in the long-term, Fiedler wrote in a research note to clients. He added that the high levels of sulphide impurities at Lac Guéret would require immediate processing to avoid oxidization, which meant that it needed a larger mine or a plant to justify the economics. “We believe the resulting project redesign and upsized funding needs led Mason’s board to undergo the year-long evaluation of strategic options,” wrote Fiedler. “Lastly, we also understand that sulphide impurities may pose issues with achieving high-purity graphite concentrate needed to make anode material.” At press time in Toronto, shares of NMG closed at $6.74, up 26¢ or 4¢ on the day, within a 52-week trading range of $6.36 and $19.18. The company has 55.2 million common shares outstanding. TNM

In northern Andean nations, miners look beyond CSR LATIN AMERICA BY HENRY LAZENBY

W

hen mining in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, implementing corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs is simply not enough to guarantee success. Instead, mineral explorers and developers often see substantial projects halted in their tracks by staunch community-level opposition, even when projects had passed regulatory muster, says mining sector researcher, analyst and reporter Paul Harris, in an interview with The Northern Miner. The analyst suggests those wishing to do business in these jurisdictions take a more holistic approach toward meaningful engagement with host communities before engaging governmental authorities about their respective projects. The solution, according to Harris, is for companies to be willing to give up an ownership stake in their projects so that local communities and local and federal governments have more skin in the game. “There are a tonne of options on how companies can make stakeholders see things through the lens of a shareholder,” said Harris. “When host communities can sit down and plan what their revenue over the long term will be, whether it’s five per cent of US$100 million per year over three decades, they can translate that benefit into economic development in the communities supporting any particular mine,” he says. “That’s what meaningful stakeholder engagement looks like.” He suggests it’s high time for companies operating in these jurisdictions to stimulate the creation of Indigenous-owned companies geared toward servicing the mining sector. In Canada, First Nations in British Columbia and elsewhere have risen to the challenge of creating economic spinoffs from mining operations in their regions. There is a greater push in these regions for a more inclusive mining industry than ever before, given the focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment principles. While Colombia, Ecuador and Peru hold tremendous mineral endowments, their supporting mining legislations are at different stages of development, which impacts exploration and production, notes Harris. In his view, Peru’s legislative environment is the most advanced of the three, given about 20 years of development. During this time, mineral exploration and mine development thrived, helping it to become, for a period, the second biggest exporter of copper to China. It remains a vital copper exporter today, albeit at lower levels. Harris also notes the country has a robust gold sector. By comparison, Ecuador has only been focused on developing its mining industry in the past two years. The current crop of legislation is perhaps only five to 10 years in the making. “So, it’s still very, very young. But things are really starting to happen in the form of some significant advanced-stage projects. And there’s a lot of exploration going on,” Harris said.

‘ESG HAS EMPOWERED IMPOVERISHED PEOPLE THAT HAD BEEN LARGELY MARGINALIZED FOR MORE THAN 200 YEARS.’ PAUL HARRIS MINING RESEARCHER AND REPORTER

He has observed the Ecuador and Colombian governments struggle with broadly similar issues at different times. “Issues regarding community engagement, issues with water, with forestry — governments want mining and support mining, but that feeling doesn’t necessarily percolate down to the middle levels of government that do things, and the grassroots communities where it’s done,” he said. “But both governments recognize that mining is important and should be an important part of the economy, and they’re becoming much more involved as an actor.” According to Harris, the current focus on community engagement was partially the respective governments’ own making. “In the past, both governments tended to leave companies to their fortunes, saying, ‘Here’s your concession, now go away, do what you need to do.’ But as you can expect, there was a lot of community resistance, and companies didn’t necessarily engage very well,” said Harris. “So, the governments had to step up to the plate to become the ‘oil in that wheel.’ It’s happening a lot in Colombia, and I can see that happening in Ecuador.” Because of this phenomenon, Harris says ESG had in some ways ‘come out of nowhere’ and had become an acute focus from the community relations perspective. “ESG has empowered impoverished people that had been largely marginalized for more than 200 years. People feel empowered to have a voice and express it and say, ‘I’m not okay with this.’” Harris believes companies will have to do a better job of engaging and, ultimately, become better at sharing the wealth their mines generate. Frozen out From a mining standpoint, Peru is essentially frozen out of the investment landscape at present because of President Pedro Castillo’s left-leaning policies. Joe Mazumdar, an economic geologist and analyst at the popular newsletter Exploration Insights, says that while Peru was indeed at one point the largest exporter of copper into China, beating Chile, it remains a critically important sector of the economy. “But what we’ve seen in the last three years was changing governments, bringing in the left-leaning government that gives more voice to local opposition to oppose mine development and infrastructure. The economy is sometimes at the mercy of communities cutting off roads and hinder-

ing products from getting to ports, Mazumdar said. “The instability has made reinvestment in Peru an issue, so people are looking at other places.” In Harris’s view, Castilo doesn’t necessarily have firm control over the country. “The politicians are doing whatever they want, the community is doing whatever they want, and investors hate uncertainty,” Harris said. “My perception is a lot of things are on hold. A lot of decisions are on hold,” he said. The biggest is perhaps Newmont (TSX: NGT; NYSE: NEM) with its stalled Yanacocha sulphides expansion. “The company has made the investments to get 100% ownership, but it keeps knocking the financing decision from quarter to

quarter. I think they’re looking for a clear line of sight on when the stability will return,” Harris said. He underlined that stability was critical for a US$2.5-billion investment spanning several decades. Harris sees investment trickling into Ecuador and Colombia on the exploration front. Neither country is building a mine now, but both have projects getting close, some of substantial size. In contrast to Peru, both Colombia and Ecuador are promoting investment, hoping to seize the opportunity to benefit from the energy revolution and provide the “green copper” and other metals the world needs. “Fantastic, but that will remain a pipe dream unless Colombia and Ecuador can establish the beneficiation chains

to add downstream value to their exports,” Harris said. “But communities are the same as in Australia, Canada, and the U.S.; they don’t want a copper mine in their backyard. That’s the same hurdle that must be overcome as in other jurisdictions.” Mazumdar also points out that massive infrastructure deficits in each of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru continue to hinder investment in mineral exploration and development. At the same time, all three jurisdictions had shown significant sensitivity to projects located in the headwaters of vital rivers. “Water is a big issue — not only usage, but effluent, how you impact the water,” Mazumdar said. He added that there’s a challenge in bridging the culture gap too, where local subsistence farmers are generally loathe to sell their land for a one-time payment. “They measure their wealth in land ownership, which can stop mining projects for better or worse,” said Mazumdar. “These places have the same sort of risks to development, just like most parts of the world in terms of local opposition; all are highly endowed. “If I had to rank them, in terms of investment friendliness, more companies are seeing opportuSee SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT / 15

COLOMBIA, ECUADOR, AND PERU SNAPSHOT: EIGHT COMPANIES WITH PRECIOUS AND BASE METAL PROPERTIES BY CARL A. WILLIAMS

Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru offer miners a blend of established mining jurisdictions and areas of potentially highly-prospective and unexplored terrain. Here are eight miners active within and across the three countries to watch. CANDENTE COPPER Vancouver-headquartered Candente Copper (TSX: DNT; US-OTC: CDOUF) is an exploration and development company with a portfolio of assets in Peru and Canada. The company’s focus is on its 100%-owned flagship Cañariaco copper-gold-silver project in northern Peru, approximately 120 km northeast of the city of Chiclayo and 700 km northwest of Lima. According to Candente, the property, which includes the Cañariaco Norte project, is considered to be the tenth-largest and sixthhighest-grade late-stage copper resource in the world. In March, the company announced that it had acquired an additional 10 mineral concessions on the property, increasing its land position to 101.9 sq. km. A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for Cañariaco Norte released in February envisaged an open pit mine with a 28-year mine life producing 173 million lb. of copper, 31,395 oz. of gold, and 703,588 oz. of silver per year over the life of mine. The early-stage study pegged initial capital costs at US$1 billion. Using an 8% discount rate and metal prices of US$3.50 per lb. copper, US$1,650 per oz. gold, and US$21.50 per oz. silver, the project would generate an after-tax net present value of US$1 billion and an after-tax internal rate of return on 16.3%.

The PEA was based on a mineral resource estimate of 1.1 billion measured and indicated tonnes grading 0.39% copper, 0.06 gram gold per tonne, and 1.7 grams silver per tonne (0.42% copper-equivalent per tonne) for 9.3 billion lb. contained copper, 2.1 million oz. gold, and 59.4 million oz. silver, and inferred resources of 410.6 million tonnes at 0.29% copper, 0.04 gram gold, and 1.4 grams silver (0.32% copper-equivalent) for 2.7 billion lb. copper, 550,000 oz. gold, and 18.1 million oz. silver. Significant shareholders in Candente include Australian miner Fortescue Metals Group (ASX:

Lundin Gold is now generating significant free cash flow BY NORTHERN MINER STAFF

Last year was an exceptional one for Lundin Gold (TSX: LUG) and its highgrade Fruta del Norte underground mine in southeastern Ecuador, 130 km northeast of Loja, the country’s fourthlargest city. The company generated US$268 million of free cash flow in 2021 from the production of 428,514 oz. of gold at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$762 per oz., beating its guidance of 380,000 to 420,000 oz. and AISCs of US$770 to US$830 per oz., respectively. “It’s really been almost a fairy tale type story,” Ron Hochstein, Lundin Gold’s president and CEO, says in an interview, noting that the company poured first gold in November 2019, just five years after acquiring the asset from Kinross Gold (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) in December 2014 for about US$240 million. “It was pretty cool to go through full feasibility, basic engineering, early works and then construction and to do that on time and under budget.” The mine commenced commercial production in February 2020, just as news that a lethal new coronavirus in China called Covid-19 was circulating the globe. “We worked our way through that and we were actually the ones that I think had a pretty big impact on reopening the Ecuadorian economy,” Hochstein says. “We showed that we could operate within a Covid environment safely.” Lundin Gold is poised for another big year and is already off to a strong start with record first-quarter production of 121,665 oz. gold (78,601 oz. of concentrate and 43,064 oz. of doré) at an AISC of US$696 per oz. gold sold. It forecasts annual production in 2022 of 405,000 to 445,000 oz. at an AISC of US$860 to US$930 per ounce. “[The first quarter] was fantastic,” says Hochstein. “Our low AISC of US$696 per oz. sold was driven by lower-than-expected sustaining capital costs, which will ramp up as the year progresses. Costs are a key focus, though, and our consistently low AISC definitely plays a large role in us generating so much free cash flow.” The Vancouver-based company has also approved its first dividend, which will consist of an annual payment of US$100 million, which equates to about 40¢ per share. The dividend will be paid half yearly, with the first payment scheduled to follow the company’s second-quarter results in August, and a second payment six months later. “We’ll begin paying a semi-annual dividend, but will definitely look at quarterly payments the following year,” Hochstein says. “The big message to the market,” he says, “is that this US$100 million dividend is equivalent to about a 5% dividend yield, which if you look at the precious metals space is significantly higher than the average, which even for big producers is around 2% to 3%.” Paying this dividend does not mean that the company will no longer look to grow, however, Hochstein says. With a current free cash flow yield of 15%, Lundin Gold has a lot of flexibility when it comes to deploying the significant capital left over after its dividend payments. With this cash, the company will look to accelerate repayment of its senior debt, can increase its regional and near-mine exploration programs if and when necessary, can continue to pursue M&A opportunities, and can also

invest in future capital projects, such as further throughput expansion. In addition to the dividend, Lundin Gold recently hired Andre Oliveira as its new vice-president of exploration, to focus on near-mine and regional exploration programs. Before joining Lundin Gold in March, Oliveira spent more than 17 years at Yamana Gold (TSX: YRI; NYSE: AUY; LSE: AUY) where he held roles of senior geologist, manager, country director, and ultimately senior director for South America. Prior to Yamana he worked as an exploration geologist at AngloGold Ashanti’s (NYSE: AU; JSE: ANG) Crixas gold mine. “He’s got a lot of experience in epithermal gold and had a great track record at Yamana,” Hochstein says. “He brings a fresh set of eyes and has had a huge impact already. He’s invigorated the team and has spent a lot of time onsite.” “Together with Stephen Leary, who’s got so much epithermal experience and discovered Fruta del Norte, it’s a little bit of a dream team right now for epithermal gold

exploration, having those two work together.” The goal is to find buried Fruta del Norte type epithermal gold-silver systems in the Suarez pull-apart basin (Suarez Basin), which hosts Fruta del Norte. The company has set aside US$4 million for near-mine exploration this year (a combination of underground and surface drilling as well as geophysics). “We’re still working out the full details,” says Hochstein. “Andre put together this near-mine exploration program after he started looking at all the current prospects and targets that we have within a kilometre of Fruta del Norte. These are the types of things that if we discover something could potentially add to the existing resources and be accessed with existing infrastructure. It has real potential to add value quickly.” Another US$14 million will be spent on regional exploration, drilling a total of 16,500 metres at its three main epithermal gold-silver regional targets: Barbasco, Puente-Princesa

and El Puma. Barbasco is an anomaly situated along the eastern margin of the Suarez Basin, about 7 km south of Fruta del Norte, and Puente-Princesa is an anomaly on the western Basin margin, about the same distance from the mine site. Last year the company drilled a total of 5,387 metres (six holes) at Barbasco and 5,749 metres (six holes) at Puente-Princesa. Drilling only intersected relatively narrow, low-grade vein mineralization, but the program was encouraging, the company says, because it confirmed that gold-bearing hydrothermal fluids circulated in the southern Basin at the same time as Fruta del Norte was forming farther north. The 2021 drill program also improved the company’s understanding of the southern Basin and provided direction for this year’s program, to the south along both margins of the Basin, and will target El Puma, about 8 to 10 km to the south of Fruta del Norte. “Puma actually has a lot more

surface alteration than a lot of our targets,” says Hochstein. “So what we’ve learned by drilling at PuentePrincesa is going to help us now target at Puma. There are a lot of relationships. Every hole we’re learning and improving our probability of finding another Fruta del Norte.” “We’re very excited,” he continues. “As you know, the best place to explore is in your own backyard. And when your backyard is next to one of the best deposits ever discovered, it’s very exciting.” Along with its regional exploration programs, Lundin Gold continues to focus on operations and cost cutting, primarily through productivity gains and debottlenecking. By the end of last year the company had increased mill throughput by 20% from 3,500 tonnes per day to 4,200 tonnes per day and has plans to ramp that up to 4,500 tonnes per day. “We think we can get to 4,500 tonnes per day just by de-bottlenecking,” says Hochstein. The company has also focused on increasing recoveries and improving its concentrate grade. About 70% of Fruta del Norte’s gold is in concentrate, and shipping costs, particularly to Europe and Canada, have jumped by as much as 130% to 150%. By increasing concentrate grade, Lundin Gold is able to reduce its shipping costs per ounce of gold. “We had a successful program in the first quarter where we improved our concentrate grades, which worked out to a bottom-line reduction of about US$20 or US$30 an ounce.” Lundin Gold says it also benefits from operating in Ecuador, a U.S. dollar economy. “We’re not seeing the inflation impacts that other countries are experiencing,” Hochstein notes. “Ecuador was hit hard by Covid so the economy is still growing and unemployment is still high here. We’re not seeing noteworthy wage inflation and are not seeing input costs increase too materially either.” And Hochstein points out that with the company’s ample cash flow, it could “theoretically” pay down its senior debt of about US$240 million by the end of this year or early next year. The mining executive also says the company is not ruling out growth through acquisition to mitigate the issue of being a single asset company, but says that any acquisition needs to make sense to its shareholders, and being a Tier 1 asset, Fruta del Norte sets a very high bar. “The challenge we’ve got is Fruta del Norte is such a great asset,” he says. “It’s so unique. It’s challenging to find something that fits.” Lundin Gold takes its pioneering role in the country seriously and emphasizes showing all stakeholders what responsible mining practices look like. “We see our role now as showing local communities, governments and essentially the citizens of Ecuador what responsible mining can be for this country,” he says. At press time in Toronto, Lundin Gold’s shares were trading at $10.21 within a 52-week trading range of $8.82 and $12.93. The company has 234.7 million common shares outstanding for a market cap of about $2.4 billion.

In April, the Vancouver-headquartered junior released assays from two of 11 holes from a drill program in an area containing historical resources at Flor de Cobre in the Southern Peru Copper belt, approximately 45 km south of Arequipa. The property is located about 30 km southeast of Freeport-McMoRan’s (NYSE: FCX) Cerro Verde copper-molybdenum mine, which produced 887 million lb. of copper last year, and 7 km northwest of the Chapi copper mine, owned by Nexa Resources (TSX: NEXA; NYSE: NEXA). Highlights from the drilling at Flor de Cobre included drill hole FDC001, which intersected 349 metres grading 0.77% copper, 0.006% molybdenum, and 1.7 parts per million (ppm) silver (0.81% copper-equivalent) starting from 78 metres downhole; and hole FDC002, which returned 378.6 metres at 0.5% copper, 0.006% molybdenum, and 1.3 ppm silver (0.54% copper-equivalent) from 71 metres. Element 29 says its current drill program is expected to total 4,000 metres and aims to validate the project’s historical copper resource estimate of 57.4 million tonnes grading 0.67% copper. It

said that estimate, released in 1996, predated the introduction of NI 43-101 standards. The company allocated a total of 2,180 metres of drilling to twin nine historic drill holes in order to verify the historical resource, with the remaining two drill holes (1,820 metres) allocated to testing the primary copper sulphide mineralization to depths of more than 500 metres. In January, it released drill results from the last three holes of a seven-hole (4,481 metres) first phase 2021 drill program on Target 1 at Elida in central Peru, about 170 km northwest of Lima and 80 km from the Pacific coast. Highlights from the drilling included hole ELID025, which cut

Element 29 says it plans to use the results to prepare a potential initial resource estimate for Elida. This year, it plans to drill test unexplored areas of Target 1 and conduct initial drilling of Targets 2 and 3 on the property. Element 29 has a market capitalization of $29.3 million. GOLDMINING Vancouver-headquartered GoldMining (TSX: GOLD; NYSE: GLDG) has a portfolio of projects in the Americas. These include the 100%-owned La Mina, Titiribi, and Yarumalito gold-copper projects in Colombia and the Crucero gold project in Peru. The company is currently focused on advancing the 22.1-sq.-km La Mina property, approximately 51 km southwest of Medellin. In April, the miner began a sixhole (3,600 metres) drill campaign on the la Garrucha target, located 1 km east and immediately adjacent to the mineral resources at La Mina. A PEA for La Mina released in January outlined an open pit mining operation with a mine life of 10.4 years producing an average of 102,000 gold-equivalent oz. per year for a total life-of-mine output of over 1 million gold-equivalent oz. at all-in sustaining costs (AISCs) of US$697.8 per ounce. The mine is also expected to produce over 600,000 oz. silver and over 165 million lb. copper, which are included in the gold-equivalent calculations. The PEA pegged total capital costs at US$370.9 million. The project would generate an after-

n

tax net present value of US$232 million, using a 5% discount rate and metal prices of US$1,600 per oz. gold, US$21 per oz. silver, and US$3.39 per lb. copper. Mineral resources at La Mina currently stand at 28.2 million indicated tonnes grading 0.73 gram gold per tonne, 1.76 grams silver per tonne, and 0.24% copper (1.09 grams gold-equivalent) for 662,680 oz. contained gold, 1.6 million oz. silver, and 150 million lb. copper (989,463 gold-equivalent ounces). Inferred resources add 13.6 million tonnes grading 0.65 gram gold, 1.76 grams silver, and 0.27% copper (1.05 grams gold-equivalent) for 287,005 oz. gold, 772,030 oz. silver, and 81.2 million lb. copper (989,463 gold-equivalent ounces). A 2018 resource estimate for Cucero in the southeast of Peru, approximately 150 km northeast of the city of Juliaca, outlined 30.7 million tonnes in the indicated category grading 1 gram gold for 1 million oz. of gold and inferred resources of 35.8 million tonnes grading 1 gram gold for 1.1 million oz. of gold. GoldMining has a market capitalization of $196.3 million. LIBERO COPPER & GOLD Libero Copper & Gold (TSXV: LBC; US-OTC; LBCMF) holds porphyry copper and gold assets in the Americas. The Vancouver-headquartered junior is focused on advancing its Mocoa copper-molybdenum deposit in the department of Putumayo in Colombia, approximately 10 km from the town of Mocoa and 465 km southwest of Bogota. The project sits within the Jurassic porphyry belt, which extends through Colombia and Ecuador

n

and hosts several large-scale producing porphyry copper deposits. These include the Mirador copper mine, owned by Quito-based company EcuaCorriente SA, which is part of a Chinese consortium called CRCC-Tongguan, and Solaris Resources’ (TSX: SLS; US-OTC: SLSSF) Warintza copper deposit. Both projects are located in Ecuador. According to Libero, the Mocoa deposit covers an area of approximately 1.2 by 1.4 km and extends down to a depth of over 1 km. The company says the property hosts one of the largest copper resources in Colombia and one of the world’s largest undeveloped molybdenum deposits. Libero has also identified a copper-in-soil anomaly 500 metres to the east of the proposed pit outline. In May, the company released partial drill results from its first diamond drill hole at Mocoa since acquiring it in 2018. Highlights from that hole, MD-043, included 30.6 metres grading 1.3% copper starting from 265.3 metres downhole and 28.5 metres grading 1.3% copper from 361.9 metres. The company said the hole reached a depth of 1,235 metres and was designed to confirm mineralization in a zone located between two separate high-grade zones in the deposit. Ian Harris, Libero’s CEO, said in a May 2 press release announcing the drill results that the mineralized system at the project remains open, with many other porphyry targets identified for systematic follow-up. Mineral resources for the project currently stand at 636 million inferred tonnes grading 0.33% See SNAPSHOT / 13

The company said that all the figures were calculated on a 100% ownership basis. Luminex Resources has a market capitalization of $50.3 million. LUNDIN GOLD Canadian miner Lundin Gold (TSX: LUG) operates its 100%owned Fruta del Norte gold mine, located within a 150-km-long copper-gold metallogenic sub-province in the Cordillera del Condor region of southeastern Ecuador. The project comprises seven concessions covering 55.7 sq. km., approximately 140 km east of Loja, the fourth-largest city in Ecuador. Commercial production at the Fruta del Norte started in February 2020. In the first quarter of this year, the mine produced 121,665 oz. of gold, comprising 78,601 oz. of concentrate and 43,064 oz. of doré, for net revenues of US$216.5 million at cash operating costs of US$619 per oz. sold and an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$696 per ounce. The company said the strong performance was mainly due to continued improvements in recoveries and low sustaining capital during the quarter and “provides a robust foundation for the rest of the year.” Lundin’s production guidance of 405,000 to 445,000 oz. of gold and AISCs of US$860 to US$930 for 2022 remains unchanged, it said. In 2021, the mine produced 428,514 oz. of gold at an AISC of US$762 per oz., beating that year’s production guidance of 380,000-420,000 oz. at an AISC of US$770-US$830 per oz., and resulting in a cash flow of US$264 million. Lundin also has 25 mining concessions in the area that aren’t related to the mine and are being explored. These include the Barbasco and Puente Princesa anomalies, which are situated on two of the concessions, and are located to the south of the Suarez basin, which hosts the Fruta del Norte

in July 2021. Luminex said the drill program is designed to test the lateral continuity of the new zone at Los Cuyes West and, depending on drill results, could be modified to also test the depth extent. The drilling includes an additional 1,500 metres over five holes that will initially target a new highgrade discovery made in March, which sits adjacent to the Los Cuyes open pit mineral resource. Drilled in an untested area immediately west of the resource, the discovery hole, CU21-01, intersected 8.6 metres grading 5.1 grams gold per tonne and 24.85 grams silver (5.39 grams gold-equivalent) from 278.4 metres downhole.

The 2021 PEA for Condor North envisaged a mining operation with an annual average production of 187,000 oz. of gold and 758,000 oz. of silver over a 12-year mine life. All-in sustaining costs were estimated at US$839 per oz., with average operating costs of US$748 per oz., over the life of the mine. Using a 5% discount rate and metal prices of US$1,760 per oz. gold and US$23.10 per oz. silver, the study estimated the after-tax net present value to be US$562 million and its internal rate of return at 20.3%. The study pegged initial capital costs at US$657 million, with US$175 million budgeted for sustaining capital over the mine’s life.

nities for exploration and development in Ecuador, followed by maybe Peru, and when it comes to Colombia, it’s still a bit problematic with respect to their acute dislike of open-pittable resources,” Mazumdar said. The project pipeline The most important projects making their way through the development pipeline are B2Gold (TSX: BTO; NYSE-AM: BTG) and AngloGold Ashanti’s (NYSE: AU; JSE: ANG;) joint venture on the Gramalote project. Harris has noted continued postponements of the JV’s feasibility study. “They keep saying it’s for optimization

to contemplate possible open pit mining scenarios as we move forward to a preliminary economic assessment,” the company’s CEO Ralph Rushton told The Northern Miner. “However, I’d stress that without engineering studies to back us up, we can’t yet speak to potential production scenario.” Aftermath has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the property by 2026 from SSR Mining (TSX: SSRM; NASDAQ: SSRM; ASX: SSR) for about US$12.7 million cash and about 3.3 million company shares. “A key part of what led us to Berenguela in the first place is the excellent local infrastructure,” he added. “We’re within six kilometres of a rail line to a deep water port (Matarani), and there’s power and road access and skilled local labour.

Meanwhile, AngloGold’s Quebradona project keeps running into permitting roadblocks. Just recently, an appeal on the environmental permit application was archived, leaving the company to start the process from scratch. Also in Colombia is the Soto Norte gold project, which Aris Gold (TSX: ARIS: US-OTCQX: ALLXF) has taken over. “There’s a lot of community relations damage management to be undertaken before they can really resume a development path,” Harris said.

Resource update Aftermath aims to release an updated resource estimate by the third quarter of this year and complete the project’s PEA next year. “Geostatistical work has already started for a new resource estimate… The project is in an important transition stage in the next 18 months between completion of the exploration work and switching to engineering and metallurgical work. We think it’s going to move forward quite rapidly once we’ve completed the new resource estimate,” Rushton said. As far as the work environment in Peru is concerned, the company hasn’t faced any impacts of the growing calls for nationalization of mines and stricter norms in South America, but Rushton does expect things to change in the future. “We are aware that future regulations may require increased taxes and/or royalties; I think we’d be naive not to assume that,” he said. “We’re comfortable in Peru right now. Our responsibility going forward is to ensure that we build capacity and support local businesses in the communities in which we operate, provide job opportunities and maintain transparency.” At press time, Aftermath Silver traded around 24.5¢, within a 52-week range of 21.5¢ to 72¢.

in someone’s life (are) the day you’re born, and the day you realize why you were born.’ When you came to geology, was there a feeling that you knew this was almost your destiny?” Vaccaro asked. In response, Layman recalled her job working in the field in central Labrador, with the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2004, before she graduated from Memorial University with a degree in geosciences. “(It) was definitely life changing,” she said. “It was a couple of months living in a tent. It was an all-women crew, with one male field assistant. But it was a group of really strong, powerful women who were having absolutely so much fun working in the field and problem solving. It was really empowering.” Another formative early career experience was her work as a project geologist with Vale (NYSE: VALE) in Sudbury, Ont. “Sudbury is one of the best places to work as a geologist, especially if you’re just starting off your career,” she said. “It’s really interesting field work, there are so many different technologies that are used in the rich history of mining, there (are) so many people to learn from, you really get a lot of technical responsibility and (can) hone your technical skills.” Layman, who lived in the historic nickel city for five years, says she is constantly meeting others who’ve lived in Sudbury and worked in the mining industry there. “It’s an excellent community of mining people. There’s a lot of talent there. And so many mines that you can work out in different deposit types.” Her career then took her to Independence Gold (TSXV: IGO), where the junior miner environment gave her a different sense of responsibility than she had at Vale. “A lot of the advice that I got when I left Vale was when you work for a big company, you can’t just go out and buy something when you need it, or you can’t just

hire or deal with problems right away. There are a lot of policies and bureaucracies and red tape. But there’s a reason for that when you employ 100,000 people, and you’ve got mines all over the world,” she said. The junior space, in contrast, gave her a greater feeling of autonomy and different opportunities to manage programs the way she wanted. However, she also learned that juniors work hard to raise capital that belongs to shareholders. “I did really enjoy it because I liked being in the field. And I liked running drill programs,” she said. “I liked having that responsibility of hiring people and managing and understanding a bit more about what goes into running a program.” Turning the ship around In a move that might’ve raised eyebrows for some, Layman in 2015 went to work for Barkerville Gold Mines, a company that ran afoul of National Instrument 43-101 reporting regulations in 2012 for misstating its mineral resources. “You’re a young geologist building a steady career at that time. So what were you thinking there? Would you see this as an opportunity? Why did you believe in the company when the market was saying ‘what’s going on here’?” Vaccaro asked. Layman said the Barkerville opportunity came together when Paul Geddes, a trusted colleague from a decade earlier called her and offered her a position as a project geologist. At the time, Geddes was vice-president of exploration with Barkerville. He’s now senior vice-president of exploration and resource development with Skeena Resources (TSX: SKE; NYSE: SKE). “He’s always been one of my mentors — but he was very (focused on) essentially rebuilding things with this company. We brought in a whole new technical team (and) a different diamond drilling contractor (and had) to go through everything from permitting and land management,” Layman said. “It was kind of like starting a

new company and wiping that historic resource from the books and an understanding of the science because although there had been so many years of historic mining on the project, you have to look at that and figure out what’s actually been mined, what are the mineral controls, what’s the geologic model, and that takes a long time.

It has helped facilitate a US$2.1-billion solar project in Angola led by U.S. developer Sun Africa, and a US$3.5 billion refinery built by a consortium led by Quanten LLC. Fernandez said that the latter would produce 100,000 barrels of refined fuel products a day that conform to the Euro 5 emissions standard. Fernandez also cautioned that government initiatives would probably be insufficient to address Africa’s energy needs, and the private sector would have to push progress forward. ‘Race to the top’ Regarding U.S. foreign policy, Fernandez told a press briefing that the U.S. was not opposed to China investing in Africa as long as the investments were centred on upholding human rights, democracy, and creating jobs for locals. “Our policy is not to ask our partners to choose between the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China. We’re not doing that. “We believe that we offer an alternative vision for economic development that more sustainably promotes democratic governance, respect for human rights, and transparency. And we keep talking about the word ‘sustainable,’ meaning more sustainably serving the long-term interests of the people here in Africa,” he said. Fernandez continued: “I’m here

because African countries are important partners in pursuing shared global and regional priorities — from ending the Covid-19 pandemic and building back to a more inclusive global economy to meeting the climate challenge and building resilience. We are encouraged by seeing many African countries creating opportunities in clean energy, advancing democracy, promoting respect for human rights, and working toward lasting peace and security,” he said. Fernandez emphasized that the U.S. was not “in a race to the bottom” to undercut China and other investors by sacrificing standards in quality, safety, and wages. “Here in Africa, we propose to do it by creating a race to the top in terms

of environmental, social, and governance,” he said. “What African governments want is for all investments, including Chinese investments, to respect local laws and local interests, to follow human rights, including worker rights, and protection for the environment,” he said. The U.S. government underlined that successful business relationships need predictable regulatory and legal environments, whether private or public. “Governments will need to enable investments through reforms, and companies will need to manage and pursue business plans that drive the energy transition while still taking on reasonable levels of risk themselves.” TNM

moment was a kind of vindication for her. “It’s been great to work with the Osisko team,” she said. “Getting bought out by Osisko Gold Royalties, and then having that spin off into Osisko Development was a really exciting time for us to have that Osisko name and to be carrying the project forward to feasibility and permitting and continuing to advance it. “It [has] been a lot of work by so many people involved, and a huge team of people and their contributions from the exploration side of it to mining, permitting, [and] all the consultants who have been involved in the project as well. So, we’re happy to keep moving this forward.” Her work in helping to turn the Barkerville project around was as enjoyable as it was successful, Layman explained. “You pick up the phone, (and say) ‘we need 10 rigs in there tomorrow.’ We understand the geology, we have the permits in place, we’ve got the team in place, now you can bring in 10 rigs. And it can be a lot of fun.” Amid such a varied career and after having worked across Canada and in precious and base metals, Vaccaro asked how Layman thinks technologies such as AI and big data will change exploration in the future. “I think that when you have big companies, you’ve got to start with the technology side, the data collection, and the data management, and then making sure that you include that historic data. We’ve got all kinds of things now to be able to map, but it’s still a very much a boots-on-the-ground, systematic exploration of analyzing the chemistry, making sure you’re collecting those samples. But the data collection and the data storage, and then being able to use different technologies to look at that data, that’s going to be increasingly important, espe-

cially when you have multiple projects, and things that are advancing at the same time.” Layman noted that Osisko doesn’t do a lot of machine learning. “For us, it’s the training and the succession planning for field mapping and interpretation of geology [that] has been very successful,” she said. “We have a couple of geologists on the project who have done one-to-2,000 scale mapping over all of the high-level targets, and they come in and they say, ‘we really need to drill right here in here.’ And a year later, we’ve got a resource on the thing. So I find that doing the soil sampling and then following that up with mapping has been the most successful exploration tool that we have.” ESG evolution In her time in the industry, Layman has seen a “night and day” change in how mining companies approach ESG compared to 10 years ago. “I think that on the environment side, that seems to be the most important of [all], if you’re going to develop a project, or if you’re going to do a drill program or anything, try to use disturbance that’s already been made, logging roads, or previous sites…rather than clearing new ground,” she said. More broadly, ESG principles are influencing how companies work at every level — junior or major. “Even the really big companies, they’re talking about it with their people who are boots on the ground. It’s important for everybody to be involved, to understand everything to do with society, environment, truth and reconciliation, to be aware of that and to have training, and to just give people as much information as possible.” TNM For information on The Northern Miner’s next Mining legends Speaker Series event, visit: https://events. northernminer.com/speaker-series/.

In a note to clients, Scotiabank mining analyst Orest Wowkodaw said the incident has complicated Trevali’s efforts to secure a refinancing package to replace its maturing credit facility in the third quarter and to fund development of its proposed Rosh Pinah expansion project in Namibia.

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / MAY 16-20, 2022 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index eked out a gain of 5.44 points over the May 16-20 trading week to end at 702.09. Los Andes Copper saw the biggest share price gain over the session, rising $1.30 or 9.2% to end at $15.45. On May 16, the junior reported new assays from its Vizcachitas copper project in Chile, including 152 metres of 1% copper equivalent (0.94% copper, 122 parts per million molybdenum and 2.6 grams silver per tonne) in hole CMV-009, located near the southern edge of the project’s defined resource. The intercept, which started at 108 metres depth, was part of a 387.2-metre interval grading 0.56% copper equivalent (0.53% copper, 62 ppm moly and 1.5 gram silver). Los Andes was ordered to stop exploration drilling in March, so an environmental court can determine if the program is impacting habitat of the vizcachas — a small rodent that is a food source for the threatened Andean cat. The company is preparing detailed reports for the court and says it is confident that drilling can continue without significant effects to the environment. Assay results for another 3,300 metres of drill core are pending. The company has completed 6,600 metres of the 18,000-metre drill campaign it started last year.

Vizcachitas was the subject of a positive preliminary economic assessment in 2019. It hosts measured and indicated resources of 1.3 billion tonnes grading 0.396% copper, 141.4 ppm molybdenum, and 1.05 ppm silver, as well as additional inferred resources. Royal Fox Gold saw 23.4 million shares traded on the week, finishing 2¢ higher at 6¢. On May 18, the company reported assays from 12 holes drilled at the Red Fox zone at its Philbert gold project, 60 km southwest of Chibougamau, Que. Highlights included hole PB-22-336, which returned 35.6 metres of 1.69 grams gold starting at 26.5 metres depth, and 120 metres down dip, hole PB-22364 cut 13.3 metres of 1.1 grams gold from 102.5 metres.

“Operational challenges have impacted both drilling programs as lower than acceptable core recovery will likely mean certain target holes will require re-drilling and mechanical issues with the drills themselves caused setbacks to the progress of the RC drilling,” said CEO Brian Hinchcliffe, in a release. Results will be published once a “critical mass of material assay results” are in hand. TNM

U.S. MARKETS / MAY 16-20, 2022 The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 961.52 points or 3.1% to 31,261.90 over the week, with the S&P 500 retreating by 106.65 points or 2.7% to 3,901.36. Shares of Gold Fields fell 1.2% to US$11.44. The company, which is already dealing with the effects of inflation and the relocation of endangered chinchillas at its Salares Norte gold project in Chile is now facing potential sanctions from the country’s environmental regulator due to the deaths of culpeo foxes in the area, a species found in the Andes The Superintendency of the Environment (SMA) has ordered the company to implement a series of “urgent” and “transitory” measures after the miner reported three incidents around the project that included the deaths of three culpeo foxes. The SMA boss, Emanuel Ibarra, said its office constantly monitors the environmental impact of the Salares Norte project, which is located at 4,200 metres above sea level, in the dry Atacama region. “Given the environmental risk tied to the [culpeo fox] species, and bearing in mind the high degree of sensitivity of the ecosystem in which the project is located, we are asking the company to fulfill the requested demands as soon as possible,” he said in a statement. The issues the SMA is asking Gold Fields

to address include submitting new reports of the three incidents, incorporating graphic records and studies from specialists, and restricting traffic speed in all the project’s interior roads to 40 km/h. Shares of Agnico Eagle Mines rose US$3.23 to US$53.86 during the week. The only news the gold miner released during the period was a $1.8-million investment in Quebec-focused explorer Cartier Resources. Agnico agreed to subscribe for 14 million units of Cartier in a non-brokered private placement at a price of 13¢ per unit. Each unit is comprised of one common share and half a share purchase warrant. Each full warrant can be exchanged for one common share at a price of 16¢ for a period of 36 months after closing.

She was a TSX member of the Mining Standards Task Force that laid the groundwork for National Instrument 43-101, which became a globally recognized disclosure standard for mining projects. Jensen’s previous 20-year career in mining enabled her to take a pragmatic science-based approach to solving industry and regulatory challenges. As a longstanding champion of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) she introduced policies for disclosure of gender diversity on boards and is Chair of the Prosperity Project created to help women stay in the workforce during and after the COVID-19 crisis. Jensen’s contributions to industry causes and associations were purposeful and far-reaching. She played a leadership role in strengthening industry associations, notably the PDAC and CIM. Jensen has received broad public and industry recognition for her many achievements, including induction to the Investment Industry Hall of Fame (2020), The Toronto Life’s 50 most influential people in 2013 and 2014, PDAC’s Distinguished Service Award (2008), CIM’s Robert Elver Mineral Economics (2004) and CIM’s Distinguished Lecturer Award (2000).

Turning Tesla Investors into Mining Investors

How do we attract new capital to the mining industry? This is a question that has been in the minds of many, especially over the last few years. New technologies are emerging and the demand for mined materials is higher than ever before, but investment and interest in the industry is declining. In order to “turn a Tesla investor into a mining investor”, the mining industry needs to be present in people’s minds in a way that it has never been before. Bringing in a diverse background of people to the mining industry, showing off our roles in technology and communications, and expanding our definition of who a mining investor could be are all ways to do this.

Moderator Emily King is the Founder of Prospector, a new search engine for the mining industry and is CEO of Global Venture Consulting. Emily is also the host of On The Rocks, a podcast discussing mining insights and innovation through a uniquely lighthearted lens with listeners on every continent (except Antarctica).

Positioning for the Global Transition to Battery Metals How Quebec is preparing to be a global hub for powering the future

Québec, rich in minerals and opportunities Québec, it’s more than 200 000 active mining titles, 22 active mines, 32 mining projects, 2.66G $ in private mining investments and 11.91G $ in shipment value. Québec has significant mining potential that accounts for one-fifth of Canada’s mineral production. The province produces and develops 17 metals and 12 non-metallic commodities, making it the most diverse resource base in Canada. Québec is the 1st Canadian province to adopt a plan for critical and strategic minerals and contributes to supplying these minerals, since it produces nickel, niobium and graphite, and mining projects are underway for lithium, vanadium, rare earths and tantalum. Québec is one of the most attractive mineral jurisdictions in the world with a stable business environment and favourable to investments. We assist companies at all stages in the development of their mining projects. Thanks to hydropower, roughly 99% of our energy is low-cost, stably priced, clean, and renewable and we have a vast infrastructure network including roads, railways, ports and airports. Québec is strategically located north-east of the United States with a year-long maritime access to Ontario and the American Midwest through the St-Laurence Seaway. It is close to major population and industrial centres and has easy access to Europe and Asia thanks to its deep-water ports. Québec also works closely with associations representing the mining sector and with communities that host projects. These communities are natural project partners and work with the Government to develop the mining sector. The Government also promotes the mining sector by outlining the principles of sustainable development and best practices of social acceptability through initiatives such as the ECOLOGO certification.

The global demand for a cleaner, greener future is a goal which Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. (TSX-V: LIT , OTC:PNXLF, FSE:OAY2) believes it can support through exploration for alternative fuel materials. Lithium batteries have become the front-running rechargeable energy storage medium, particularly for the rapidly growing electric vehicle industry, creating a strong demand forecast for lithium. Argentina comprises a significant portion of the Lithium Triangle, which is home to more than half of the world’s resources of lithium. Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. is a member of the Grosso Group, a resource management team that pioneered the mineral exploration industry in Argentina and has operated there since 1993. The group has made four exceptional metal deposit discoveries, and it broadened its focus to include alternative fuels in the mid 2000’s. The Grosso Group has been following the lithium battery sector and believes this is the time to expand its efforts in lithium resource development in the highly prospective Argentinean portion of the Lithium Triangle. The Grosso Group leverages its vast network of local, regional and international industry contacts to support the exploration team in their search for quality resource opportunities.

Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (TSX.V: BSK; FSE: MAL2.F; OTC: BKUCF) is one of Argentina’s best-positioned uranium & vanadium exploration companies with more than 4,000 km2 (400,000 ha) of prospective tenements. The Company’s mission is to deliver exceptional returns to shareholders by acquiring, exploring and advancing towards production a portfolio of uranium-vanadium projects, with an emphasis on near-surface deposits with the potential for nearterm low-cost production. The Company follows international best practices in exploration, with a focus on respect for the environment, the communities, and the cultures in all the areas in which we work. Argentina is the largest generator of electricity from nuclear energy in South America. The country is working to further expand their nuclear energy sector with additional power plants, but currently lacks domestic uranium production. Argentina’s desire for security of supply could provide a “guaranteed” first customer for a new domestic supplier. Large scale production could make Argentina a strategic exporter of uranium to the international nuclear energy sector.
