ust three months after merging with Catalyst Copper, aspiring gold miner NewCastle Gold (TSXV: NCA; US-OTC: CTMQF) is already churning out drill results at its flagship pastproducing Castle Mountain gold project located 90 km south of Las Vegas in southern California’s San Bernardino County. The best drill hole intercept from the project’s South Domes deposit returned 1.09 grams gold per tonne over 213.7 metres, including 4.14 grams gold over 16 metres. Just under half of the mineralized intercept falls outside of the property’s measured and indicated resources. The company also found 0.72 gram gold over 16.8 metres in a drill hole outside the modelled pit shell, from a new target that runs

Newly appointed president and CEO Gerald Panneton tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview that the current drill campaign, which has been doubled to 20,000 metres, is part of the company’s larger strategy to bring the project back into production.

said it aimed to start construction during the second quarter of 2017. Orezone also completed a $26.5-million equity financing in July, wherein it issued 26.5 million shares to a syndicate of underwriters co-led by Raymond James and National Bank. The company was forced to withdraw a series of technical documents including a 2015 feasibility study; 2014 preliminary economic assessment; and the suspect resource estimate, which was released in mid-2013. The major culprit appears to be different modelling techniques by two engineering firms. The calculations were done three years ago by SRK Consulting, while the newer technical work is being led by Roscoe Postle Associates. Though Orezone cites the exclusion of “environmentally sensitive areas” and “two small satellite deposits set aside for artisanal miners,” it appears that more conservative methods are the main cause for the drop in in-situ gold ounces. The company states that the “previous estimate had no boundary between the low grade and the waste domains, while the 2016 model has no grade modelling within the waste domain, and limits the grade modelling within a lowgrade domain.” Bomboré’s 2013 resource estimate was 140 million tonnes grading 1.01 grams gold per tonne for 4.6 million oz. across all “ore” types. The technical document underpinned the feasibility study based on oxide and transitional reserves of 60 million tonnes grading 0.76 gram gold for 1.47 million contained oz. gold. Orezone’s previous plan envisioned a two-staged build that would begin with a hybrid heapleach, carbon-in-leach operation. The initial mining phase would have produced 135,000 oz. gold

annually over an eight-year life at all-in sustaining costs of US$678 per ounce. Capital expenses for the first phase were pegged at US$250 million. “Given our recent permitting success with the project, this news is an unfortunate setback. However, it does not diminish our enthusiasm and commitment to building a mine at Bomboré,” Orezone president and CEO Ron Little said in the news release. Management did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

Orezone says its updated resource should be ready by early September. The company intends to revise and release feasibility economics for initial production as soon as possible “to determine the next stage of development for the project.” The company’s shares dropped 50%, or 61¢ per share, on nearly 7 million shares traded after the news. Orezone has traded within a 52-week range of 22¢ to $1.28, and last closed at 60¢ per share. The company has 154 million shares outstanding for a $65-million mar-

ket capitalization. In response to the news, BMO Capital Markets analyst Andrew Breichmanas dropped his target price on Orezone from $1.75 per share to 75¢ per share. BMO Research also lowered its estimate of “mineable resources” from 1.5 million oz. gold to 1 million oz. gold. “We recently had taken a constructive view on the stock based on feasibility study economics, the potential for the project to advance towards production after receiving permits and the upside

through further evaluation of the sulphide resources,” Breichmanas writes. “However, the likely negative resource update appears to place the viability of the project in question until the feasibility study is revised.” Canaccord Genuity analyst Eric Zaunscherb cut his price target from $1.60 per share to $1.10 per share. He notes, however, that Bomboré’s “average grade is not expected to change,” and kept his “speculative buy” rating on the stock. TNM

want to test, and South Domes is certainly one of them.” Castle Mountain was the site of an open-pit, heap-leach operation that produced 1.24 million oz. gold at a 1.47-gram-gold head grade from 1991 to 2001, when mining was suspended due to low gold prices. Since NewCastle acquired a 100% interest in the property four years ago, the company has drilled 21,500 metres, mostly within the historic open pits. Last December, it updated the resource estimate for the project to 220 million measured and indicated tonnes of 0.59 gram gold for 4.1 million oz. gold. Inferred resources tack on 40.8 million tonnes grading 0.58 gram gold for 760,000 oz. gold. Panneton says the merger with Catalyst — a copper vehicle that was helmed by mine financiers Richard Warke and Frank Giustra — was the next step towards advancing the project.

“The work that NewCastle did was very good quality, but they didn’t have any money to drill, and the merger helped bring that work forward,” Panneton says. Castle Mountain hosts a cluster of disseminated, low-sulphidation epithermal deposits that extend almost continuously for more than 2.5 km along strike. The groundwork for gold mineralization began 18 million years ago, when an active volcano emptied its magma chambers and collapsed upon itself. The hydrothermal breccias and fracture zones that were created later acted as permeable conduits for gold-rich fluids to ascend and concentrate. St r uc t u ra l i nter pretat ions, completed over the past year by NewCastle’s former management suggested that some mineralization at Castle Mountain may be more vertically oriented than others. Panneton says previous exploration at South Domes may have missed these zones, as work consisted mainly of vertical, reverse-

circulation drill holes that rarely went beyond 250 metres deep. “The previous management did a wonderful job pushing the geological model to a new level, and the results of this current drill program are testament to that,” he says. “There’s more than just one mineralizing system at South Domes, and it’s opening up new territory for us to expand our resource there.” B efore joi n i ng New C a st le , Panneton was the founder, presi-

dent and CEO of Detour Gold (TSX: DGC; US-OTC: DRGDF). Under his leadership, the company’s Detour Lake gold project, 300 km northeast of Timmins, Ont., grew from 1.5 million oz. gold in resources to 16 million oz. in reserves. Panneton became interested in Castle Mountain because he saw it as the next gold mine he could develop. “I didn’t join the company because I thought the project was

mature, I joined because I knew the project has great potential, it’s just a matter of drilling and understanding t he geologica l model,” he says. “My role in the project is to help bring it to the finish line, just as I had done with Detour Gold.” Shares of NewCastle have traded in a 52-week range of 18¢ and $1.16, and closed at $1.02 at press time. The company has 157.5 million shares outstanding for a $166-million market capitalization. TNM

Cyprium starts trial mining at Potosi MEXICAN SILVER

| Junior aims to raise US$1.5M, complete resource estimate

BY SALMA TARIKH

starikh@northernminer.com

yprium Mining (TSXV: CUG) has begun small-scale mining at the past-producing underground Potosi silver-lead-zinc mine in northern Mexico, with plans to increase throughput. Potosi is in Chihuahua’s historic Santa Eulalia district. Discovered in the 1500s, the district ranks as one of Mexico’s top silver and base metal producing districts. In the past 100 years Santa Eulalia churned out nearly 500 million oz. silver, along with a lot of lead and zinc, the company’s chairman and CEO Alain Lambert says. The 48 sq. km district is also the largest carbonate-replacement deposit in Mexico. Three companies control Santa Eulalia, which is divided into three camps. Grupo Mexico, through its subsidiary Southern Copper (NYSE: SCCO), owns the Buena Tierra mine in the West camp and the San Antonio mine in the East camp. MAG Silver (TSX: MAG; NYSE-MKT: MAG) controls all the ground south of the district and in the Central camp. Cyprium has the Potosi mine and the nearby La Chinche project in the West camp. The Potosi mine, held by the Valenzuela family since the 1950s, operated until 1991, before closing due to labour disputes, high costs and low metal prices. In the past decade, third-generation owner Daniel Valenzuela extracted small amounts of ore from Potosi, with little success until 2014, Lambert notes. The executive — who co-founded Cyprium in 2012 — describes how

he learned about Potosi last year when Valenzuela was looking for a business partner. Cyprium’s business plan — similar to other Canadian miners in Mexico, such as First Majestic Silver (TSX: FR; NYSE: AG) and Endeavour Silver (TSX: EDR;

NYSE: EXK) — calls for acquiring past-producing assets in Mexico. “The two criteria we have are that these mines can be brought back into production inexpensively and rapidly. And they need to have very good exploration potential,” Lambert says.

Brazil Resources to buy Titiribi COLOMBIA

| Junior to pay NovaCopper $11.2M in shares

BY SALMA TARIKH

starikh@northernminer.com

razil Resources (TSXV: BRI; US-OTC: BRIZF) aims to grow its gold resources by acquiring the large Titiribi goldcopper project in central Colombia. The Vancouver-based junior, which has gold projects in Brazil and Alaska, and a uranium joint venture in Saskatchewan, has agreed to buy Sunward Investments, a subsidiary of NovaCopper (TSX: NCQ; NYSE-MKT: NCQ) that owns 100% of Titiribi. Brazil intends to pay 5 million shares and 1 million warrants exercisable at $3.50 per share for two years in exchange for Sunward. Based on its Aug. 17 close of $2.24 per share, the acquisition price is $11.2 million, excluding warrants. “The acquisition is prospective and located in a good area, with solid infrastructure,” Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Rob Chang writes. He has a “buy” and $3.45 target on the stock. The Titiribi project sits 70 km southwest of Medellin in the Antioquia department, within the historical Titiribi mining district. The project is road accessible by paved highway from Medellin and has electrical power lines within 3 km, Brazil says. The 39 sq. km project contains several near-surface, bulk-tonnage gold-copper and related epithermal gold systems. Sunward explored nine mineralized areas, including the main Cerro Vetas, Chisperos and NW Breccia zones, and five other peripheral targets.

According to Sunward’s 2013 technical report, the deposit’s three main zones host measured and indicated resources of 4.66 million oz. gold (285.8 million tonnes grading 0.5 gram gold per tonne) and an inferred resource of 6.01 million oz. (349.4 million tonnes at 0.53 gram), using a 0.3-gram gold cut-off. They also contain 654.4 million lb. copper in measured and indicated, and 216.3 million lb. in inferred. The project saw extensive exploration from 2012 to 2013. Through February 2013, Sunward drilled nearly 145,000 metres in 270 holes on the deposit, including 184 holes in Cerro Vetas, Chisperos and NW Breccia. Once the transaction closes, Brazil’s geologists will review the drilling database to pinpoint areas for follow-up exploration and commission an independent resource estimate, the company’s president and CEO Garnet Dawson states. The junior intends to release more information on its plans shortly. The project will likely join the ranks of the company’s main gold assets, which include the Cachoeira and Sao Jorge gold projects in Brazil’s Para state and the Whistler gold-copper project in Alaska. NovaCopper — which is changing its name to Trilogy Metals (TSX: TMQ; NYSE-MKT: TMQ) — acquired Titiribi last June as part of its acquisition of Sunward Resources. The sale will help NovaCopper focus on its high-grade copper, zinc and precious metals projects

in northwestern Alaska, NovaCopper’s president and CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse says. Some gold assets in Antioquia near Titiribi include B2Gold’s (TSX: BTO; NYSE-MKT: BTG) Gramalote, Red Eagle Mining’s (TSX V: R D) nea r-producing San Ramon mine, Continental Gold’s (TSX: CNL) Buritica and Gran Colombia Gold’s (TSX: G C M) pro duc i n g M a r m ato mine. Brazil closed Aug. 18, the day of the acquisition news, up 12% to $2.51 per share. TNM

The past-producing Potosi mine fits the bill. Last October, Cyprium bought 53% of the joint venture that owned the Potosi mine, the nearby San Guillermo processing facility and La Chinche from Valenzuela. In exchange, Cyprium agreed to commit US$2.5 million to work at Potosi by year-end. So far, it has spent US$1 million, and expects to raise the rest through financings, Lambert says. As part of the transaction, Valenzuela received 1 million Cyprium shares and 100,000 warrants exercisable at 10¢ per share. Valenzuela owns 45% of the joint venture, while Cyprium’s director Carlos Arzola holds the remaining 2%. The historic mine has six shafts, 22 levels and is 1 km deep. However, the levels below 18 contain water. To date, Cyprium has mined mostly the upper Tunel body, particularly on levels 2 and 4, the oxide zinc body on level 14 and the larger sulphide mineralized Santo Domingo body, which was partly mined in the past on levels 6, 9, 10 and 11. In May, the junior rehabilitated the Potosi No. 3 shaft and improved

infrastructure and security at the mine. The No. 3 shaft gives the junior access to levels 0 to 4. In July, Cyprium kicked off smallscale mining at Potosi, by extracting broken mineralized material left in stopes on levels 1 and 2 by past mining activities, at an extraction rate of 20 tons (18 tonnes) per day. Cyprium aims to increase the extraction rate to 80 tons (72.5 tonnes) per day, after it receives the explosive permits to begin blasting. The company had expected to get the explosive permit by August, but Lambert is confident that Cyprium will receive it shortly. “Once we get the explosive permit, we can have a bigger tonnage. Then we are going to haul whatever’s stockpiled and whatever comes out of the mine to the Aldama plant for treatment,” Lambert says, noting Cyprium has been stockpiling the material extracted earlier. The company has an exclusive right to use the 100-tonne-per-day plant — sitting 42 km from Potosi — until May 2019. It will sell all the lead and zinc concentrates with silver content produced at the plant to Trafigura Mexico. Meanwhile, Cyprium intends to complete a resource estimate by year-end on the larger Santo Domingo body. The estimate would include old technical data and old sampling results, plus new sampling results and potential long-hole drilling. After the resource estimate, Cyprium will consider rehabilitating shafts No. 1 and 5. Lambert notes that shaft No. 1 is a small, 150-ton-per-day (136-tonneper-day) production shaft that will provide access to level 6 as well as levels 9 to 11, while shaft No. 5 is both a production shaft and an elevator for employees, and will go down to levels 9 to 11. The latter has a production capacity of 400 to 500 tons (363 to 454 tonnes) per day. The executive estimates the cost for rehabilitating shaft No. 1 at several hundred thousand dollars, and US$1.5 million for shaft No. 5. Before the company can reopen the shafts, Lambert says his yearend goals include finalizing the joint-venture interest by raising US$1.5 million. The money would improve shaft No. 3 and double capacity at the Aldama plant, as well as finish the resource estimate. He concedes the company is also on the lookout for partners for the La Chinche exploration property, south of Potosi. Cyprium closed Aug. 23 at 7¢ per share in a 52-week trading range of 5.5¢ to 12.5¢. TNM

UK Mint has a record year

| Will be harder to mess with Texas gold

hen the average person thinks about Texas, a few words and phrases quickly come to mind: oldschool, wealthy, isolationist, entrepreneurial and open-carry. Happily we can roll all these elements into one perfect Texas story for goldbugs: the news that the state government is on track to build BY JOHN CUMMING its own gold depository to store the state and jcumming@northernminer.com anyone else’s bullion on good Texas ground, separate from the federal government’s massive hoard and greedy New York banks. It started a little over a year ago, when Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill into law in Austin to “repatriate $1 billion of gold bullion from the Federal Reserve in New York to Texas.” The bill was written by Rep. Giovanni Capriglione (R-Southlake) and sponsored in the Senate by Lois Kolkhorst, (R-Brenham). In the original wording of the bill, the government’s finance code would be amended to create a “Texas Bullion Depository” that would be an agency of the state in the Office of the Comptroller, directed by an administrator appointed by the comptroller with the advice and consent of the governor, lieutenant governor and senate. The depository would “hold certain bullion and specie acquired by the state or a political subdivision of the state; could receive and hold such deposits for private entities; and would use depository agents … to conduct retail transactions on behalf of the depository with current and prospective depository account holders.” Deposits to the depository and related assets would not be subject to legislative appropriation. Furthermore, the comptroller would establish procedures and requirements for the depository and depository agents for taxable gains and losses from depository transactions, and could establish fees, service charges and penalties to be charged to a depository holder, with receipts deposited to the state’s general revenue fund. The law took effect Sept. 1, 2015. Under the law, the comptroller would use independently managed firms and institutions licensed as “depository agents” to act as middlemen to conduct retail transactions on behalf of the depository. The fees to use the depository would be set at levels “sufficient to cover the costs of implementing the provisions” of the law. The wholesale precious metals dealer Texas Precious Metals was one local firm that responded to state Comptroller Glenn Hegar’s informal request for proposals to build a depository. According to the Dallas Morning News, Texas Precious Metals chief operating officer Tarek Saab (a former contestant on Donald Trump’s The Apprentice) has presented a plan to build a $20-million, 47,000-square-foot facility with 12-inch reinforced concrete walls and roof able to withstand 395,000 lb. of weight — to be built and operated without taxpayer money on land it owns in Shiner, 250 miles south of Fort Worth. Meanwhile the iconic U.S. armed transport firm Brink’s says a new building is unnecessary, because the depository could simply use its excess secure-storage areas in its existing facilities in Texas. Anthem Vault of Las Vegas is pitching its own plan, calling for “multiple vaulting locations throughout Texas to enable all Texans access to their bullion within a reasonable distance from their homes,” and an offer to create a network of “coin shops and retail storefronts” to accept deposits to the state depository. The comptroller is expected to issue a more formal and detailed request for proposals by year-end, with observers expecting some kind of depository up and running perhaps as early as 2017. One large potential client for the depository would be the University of Texas Investment Management Co., which had $600-million worth of gold bullion stored at HSBC Bank in New York — a fraction of the US$24-billion endowment it manages for the University of Texas. Last July, a spokesperson for the company told the Texas Tribune that it would consider moving the gold to Texas if the storage fees were cheaper than the US$650,000 in annual fees it currently pays. The state of Texas reportedly pays US$1 million per year in out-ofstate storage fees for its gold, and there is appetite to keep that revenue stateside. Readers can keep up with news on the depository at the unofficial website www.texasbulliondepository.com, which is run by a blogger. TNM

| Penetrating US silver market drives revenue to 1,100-year high The following is an edited release from The Royal Mint. For more information, please visit www. royalmint.com.

he Roya l Mint has announced its annual results for 2015–2016, ref lecting the highest revenue in the 1,100year history of the organization in financial terms. Significant growth in the precious metal trading activities of the company’s bullion division made a major contribution to this outcome, with increased competitiveness in the U.S. silver market at the core of the success. Overall company revenue increased 39% to £360.6 million, or $616.5 million (2014–2015: £259.6 million), with revenue growth of at least 17% delivered by all three businesses — circulating coin, commemorative coin and bullion. The company returned an overall operating profit of £13.1 million (2015–2016: £11.4 million), the highest since the company was vested in January 2010, reflecting a 19% increase last year.

BULLION ACTIVITIES SAW REVENUE INCREASE 64% TO £185.6 MILLION, AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO OPERATING PROFIT RISE 87% TO £2.8 MILLION. Demonstrating consistency of performance, The Royal Mint exceeded all four of its ministerial targets for the third year in a row, operationally. A key ministerial target to achieve 10% return on average capital employed (ROACE) was exceeded — the organization achieved 17.9% ROACE, which was an increase on the previous year’s 17%. The circulating coin division achieved its 100% U.K. on-time delivery target for the fifth year in a row. Circulating coin The Royal Mint Ltd. saw a rise in circulating coin sales by 17% to £124.0 million (2014–2015: £106 million), manufacturing some 4.4 billion coins and coin blanks for 40 countries (2014–2015: 4.6 billion for 30 countries). In the U.K., demand for domestic coinage remained strong, while a number

of contracts secured with overseas countries transitioned denominations from banknotes into coins. The Royal Mint’s high-security, patented technology developed by the company’s in-house research and development team to bring new banknote levels of security to coins for the first time was fully commercialized and operational this year. The feature has been incorporated into the 12-sided, £1 coin that will enter circulation by the Treasury in 2017. Bullion Growth in bullion activities saw revenue increase 64% to £185.6 million (2014–2015: £113.5 million) and contribution to operating profit increase 87% to £2.8 million (2014–2015: £1.5 million). Built on a number of precious metal trading activities, it is the company’s increased share of the U.S. silver market that is at the core of this growth. Online precious metal trading website www.royalmintbullion. com (launched in 2014 to enable customers to buy, store and sell bullion coins at constantly updated live prices directly from The Royal Mint 24 hours a day, 365 days a year) proved attractive to small and large investors, with nearly 20,000 accounts opened by the end of March 2016. Bullion products introduced during the year to complement the organization’s flagship Sovereign and Britannia bullion coins included Signature Gold, which helps investors benefit from economies of scale by buying fractions of large gold bars. In another noteworthy development for the division, Signature Gold was one of the Royal Mint gold products to be declared eligible for holding in self-invested personal pension schemes. Commemorative coin and medals The organization’s commemorative coin business had another strong year, with operating profit increasing to £11 million (2014–2015: £7.3 million). Revenue rose 27% to £51 million (2014–2015: £40.1 million). The popularity of Royaltythemed commemorative coins produced to celebrate events — such as Queen Elizabeth II becoming Britain’s longest reigning monarch (distributed to over 30 countries across the world), and the birth of Princess Charlotte — contributed to the results. Other strong performing themes included characters from the Beatrix Potter coin series. The Peter Rabbit silver proof coin sold out in eight days. TNM

Coeur builds on 2016 success with exploration investment CEO INTERVIEW

| Precious metal miner’s shares up 460% year-to-date

BY SALMA TARIKH

starikh@northernminer.com

oeur Mining (NYSE: CDE) is reaping the fruits of its laborious corporate transformation, helped along by higher precious metal prices, as it produced earlier-than-expected positive free cash flow of US$12.2 million in the June quarter. “What the higher gold and silver prices did was accelerate by a quarter or two some of the trends that we’ve seen in our business. Those go back over the last two years of some pretty aggressive cost reductions that we have been able to realize,” the company’s president and CEO Mitchell Krebs says in an interview. Coeur operates five precious metal mines in Mexico, the U.S. and Bolivia, and has improved operating costs as well as lowered general and administrative (G&A) costs since 2013, Krebs says. From 2013 to 2015, G&A fell from US$55.3 million to US$32.8 million, and should total US$30 million in 2016. Most of the initial reduction has come from streamlining and rebranding the organization, which included relocating the company’s headquarters to downtown Chicago from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in 2013. Over three years, silver-equivalent production increased from 32.7 million oz. to 35.6 million oz., as Coeur added more gold ounces. It’s now on track to meet its 2016 silver-equivalent production guidance of 33.8 million to 36.8 million oz., with Krebs noting the company might lower its annual cost guidance of US$16 to US$17.25 per equivalent oz. silver, if costs trend lower in third quarter. In the second quarter, all-in sustaining costs per equivalent ounce of silver were US$14.82, down 11% from the same period a year ago, and 24% from US$19.59 in 2013. (On an adjusted basis, all-in sustaining costs have dropped 35% since 2013 to US$13.27 per realized equivalent oz. silver in the June quarter.) The cost reduction came from many factors, including acquisitions and “more efficient mining through both a focus on scale and grade, depending on the mine,” Krebs notes. Coeur is benefiting from its US$99-million acquisition of the Wharf heap-leach gold-silver mine in South Dakota from Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) in early 2015. The asset is Coeur’s lowest producer and largest source of free cash flow, generating US$14.7 million in free cash flow in the June quarter. “It looks like we already — in owning that only for a year and a half — recouped 60% of the $100-million acquisition cost. That’s as good of an acquisition you’d find in this industry, and a 20% rate of return,” Krebs says. In late 2014, Coeur agreed to acquire junior Paramount Gold and Silver for its project that bordered the company’s Palmarejo silver-gold operation in Mexico’s Chihuahua state. “The former property boundary between the two companies sort of split a few deposits in half, and by buying Paramount, we’ve consolidated ownership of those deposits — one of which is called Independencia,” Krebs says. Coeur finished transitioning Palmarejo, its largest asset, from an open-pit operation to a lowertonnage, higher-grade underground mine in the second quarter.

For a year and half, it has underground-mined the Guadalupe deposit, and in the past year has driven two declines from Guadalupe over to Independencia, where underground mining has also started. Palmarejo’s second-quarter output totalled 2.4 million equivalent oz. silver, up 34% from the previous quarter, and 4% higher than a year ago. The adjusted cost applicable to sales was US$8.24 per realized equivalent oz. silver, down 19% over the previous quarter, and 32% lower than a year ago. Krebs expects more cost improvements, as underground mining at Independencia reaches 1,000 tons per day by year-end. Combined, the two deposits should produce 4,000 tons per day in 2017 and beyond. “That is going to drive the overall results not only for Palmarejo, but for the company,” the executive says. Coeur will also benefit from the revised gold royalty agreement on Palmarejo with Franco-Nevada (TSX: FNV; NYSE: FNV), which came into effect in August, after

Coeur met the 400,000 oz. minimum delivery option under the original agreement. Under the revised terms, negotiated in October 2014, FrancoNevada agreed to pay US$22 million to help develop Guadalupe in 2015. In return, it will receive half of the life-of-mine gold production from Palmarejo’s original land package for US$800 per oz., instead of US$416 per oz. previously. This saves Coeur US$40 million in annual royalty payments, Krebs says. The revised agreement, the Paramount acquisition and the continued exploration have turned Palmarejo into a higher-margin, longer-life underground mine, he adds. Palmarejo has an eight-year mine life. Coeur says it could extend that through ongoing exploration, where it will deepen the two deposits it is mining, convert resources to reserves and test underground targets. After the company’s exploration results in the first half of the year, as well as higher metal prices, Coeur has increased its company-wide exploration budget by US$8 mil-

lion, mainly to upgrade resources to reserves at Palmarejo, the Kensington gold mine in Alaska and the Rochester gold-silver mine in Nevada. Nearly half of the US$8 million will go toward exploration activities, while the rest will go towards capitalized exploration. Elsewhere in Mexico, Coeur is re-evaluating its La Preciosa silver project, located in Durango, as a lower-capital, higher-grade and lower-cost growth project, with an update expected in September. Over the medium-term, Coeur intends to complete revised economic studies for La Preciosa, where Coeur put off a construction decision in 2014, given unfavourable project economics. Krebs says he “loves” working in Mexico. “It’s the world’s largest silver-producing country, with a great workforce, great infrastructure, and responsible permitting processes and timetables.” While La Preciosa is likely in the company’s future, Coeur will continue to invest in Palmarejo, with Krebs noting that the company spent

US$4 billion in Mexico since 2007. The executive says there is “still a lot to come” at Palmarejo and its other assets. “Now, it’s more about execution, and less about transition … we are a year and a half into seeing the benefits of a lot of the transitional work. But a lot of the good things that we expect to happen are still out in the future for us.” Meanwhile, the stock is up an astonishing 460% year-to-date to close Aug. 29 at US$13.83, up from US$2.47. (The stock, however, was trading in the low thirties in late 2012.) “Our stock price this year has outperformed every single U.S.listed equity, with a market cap of over US$250 million. We have been on a tremendous run this year,” Krebs says. The firm, which has focused on capital discipline and strengthening its balance sheet, recently repaid a US$100 million mediumterm loan. It has a US$150-million cash position, and US$230-million total net debt. TNM

SEPTEMBER 5–11, 2016 / THE NORTHERN MINER

M A R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / AUGUST 22–26 Canada’s benchmark index fell 0.3% to 14,639.88, as U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen noted in a speech that “the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has strengthened in recent months.” The S&P/ TSX Global Mining Index declined 5.5% to 62.98 and the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index dropped 9.27% to 240. Underground drill results from the Kiena mine complex near Val-d’Or, Que., sent shares of Wesdome Gold Mines soaring 47%, or 76¢, to $2.38 per share. Highlights included 94.35 grams gold per tonne over 17.4 metres, 223.12 grams gold over 14.3 metres and 8.43 grams over 8.2 metres. The Kiena mine complex is fully permitted, and has integrated mining and milling infrastructure that includes a 900-metre production shaft and a 2,000-tonne-per day mill. The mine produced 1.75 million oz. gold from 12.5 million tonnes at a 4.5-gram gold grade between 1981 and 2013. Operations were suspended in 2013 due to declining gold prices and lack of development. Shares of Eldorado Gold fell 68¢ to $4.63 per share. The slide coincided with new exploration projects in Romania, Serbia and Brazil. In Romania, Eldorado acquired the large Bolcana porphyry copper-gold project, which is contiguous with the company’s land package in the country’s Apuseni mining

district. In Brazil, Eldorado will explore the Borborema and Nazareno gold projects under an option agreement with Votorantim Metals, and in Serbia it will explore the Karavansalija project, a large skarn and epithermal system with multiple mineralized ones and untested targets. Peter Lewis, Eldorado’s vice-president of exploration, said all of the projects include defined targets that the company plans to “drill aggressively” over the rest of 2016. Erdene Resource Development updated the market on its gold projects in southwestern Mongolia. The company has been working on technical studies on the styles and controls of gold mineralization at its Bayan Khundii and Altan Nar projects. Both are near-surface and high-grade gold discoveries in the country’s Tian Shan gold belt. Bayan Khundii is a TSX MOST ACTIVE ISSUES

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / AUGUST 22–26 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index dropped 3.3%, or 27.58 points, en route to an 805.53-point weekly close. Precious metals dropped after comments by the U.S. Federal Reserve hinting at an interest rate hike later this year, while copper hit a two-month low on oversupply concerns. December contracts for gold lost 1.4%, or US$18.90, before finishing at US$1,321.50 per oz. gold. October contracts for West Texas Intermediate crude oil dropped 1.8%, or US88¢, en route to a US$47.64-per-barrel close, while December contracts for copper lost 4.2%, before finishing at US$2.08 per lb. copper. Orezone Gold led the value-lost category after reporting that a resource update could lower in-situ gold ounces at its flagship Bomboré project in Burkina Faso, West Africa. The company dropped 62¢ on 11.2 million shares traded, and finished at 60¢ per share. On Aug. 22, the company said that “preliminary results” show a 30% decline in global reserves and resources. Bomboré’s 2013 resource estimate was 140 million tonnes grading 1.01 grams gold per tonne for 4.6 million oz. across all ore types. Orezone said the decline could be due to a change in engineering companies and modelling techniques. The resource was calculated

by SRK Consulting, with the latest work led by Roscoe Postle Associates. The company received its mining permit on Aug. 12, and had been aiming to start construction during the second quarter of 2017. Rusoro Mining topped the volume-traded after announcing an US$968-million arbitration award by the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes against the government of Venezuela. The company saw 26.5 million shares traded before closing up 103% at 32¢ per share. Rusoro filed its request for arbitration in July under the Canada-Venezuela bilateral investment treaty, and claims that Venezuela breached its obligations “by unlawfully expropriating [investments] without paying compensation, and by imposing certain TSX-V MOST ACTIVE ISSUES

The company gained 28¢ on 934,000 shares traded, en route to a $1.22-per-share

weekly close. On Aug. 25 Novo reported a deal to buy three previously optioned properties from Australia-based Talga Resources, which will accept 765,115 shares in lieu of cash payments.

U.S. MARKETS / AUGUST 22–26 U.S. equities tumbled at the end of August, amidst speculation that the central bank would hike interest rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.9% to 18,395.40, and the S&P 500 Index shed 0.7% to 2,169.04. The Nasdaq retreated 0.4% to 5,218.92. Spot gold finished at US$1,320.50 per oz., down 1.5%, after interest rate concerns. Oil dropped on higher-than-expected U.S. crude inventories and diminishing hope that major oil producers would lower output to prop up prices in a September meeting. U.S. crude oil futures retreated 0.9% to US$46.98 per barrel. Meanwhile, U.S. gross domestic product growth was slightly lower than thought, growing an annual 1.1% in the second quarter, compared to an estimated 1.2%. Kinross Gold lost US63¢ to close at US$4.30 per share, after publishing an operational update for three of its gold mines. The gold producer suspended its Maricunga mine at the end of July instead of in the fourth quarter, after a judicial decision concluded that it would enforce the country’s environmental regulatory authority’s revised sanction for June 24, 2016. The sanction lowers water pumping at the mine, among other things.

As a result, Kinross laid off 300 employees at Maricunga, cautioning the earlier-thanplanned suspension should not affect its 2016 production and cost guidance. Meanwhile, normal mining and processing resumed at Kinross’ Tasiast mine in Mauritania in August, after the temporary suspension from the expatriate work permit issue.

outhern Silver Exploration (TSXV: SSV; US-OTC: SSVFF) likes to think that its Cerro las Minitas silver-lead-zinc project in Durango, Mexico, has a lot going for it. Not only is it close to significant deposits — some of them producing mines and owned by some of the industry’s biggest names in the precious metals space — but the junior has also caught the eye of the Electrum Group, a privately owned, natural resource investment management company founded by billionaire Thomas Kaplan. Electrum is earning a 60% stake in the project and already owns 46% of the junior’s shares. The New York-based investment group is well-known for its investments in the mining sector, which over the years have included NovaGold Resources (TSX: NG; NYSE-MKT: NG), NovaCopper (TSX: NG; NYSEMKT: NG), Wellgreen Platinum (TSX: WG; US-OTC: WGPLF), Victoria Gold (TSXV: VIT) and Kaminak (recently acquired by Goldcorp [TSX: G; NYSE: GG]). Southern Silver also has an illustrious pedigree of its own, with a track record in Mexico. Lawrence Page, who founded Southern Silver Exploration, was a director of Western Silver Corp. when the company was advancing the Penasquito project before its 2006 merger with Glamis Gold, which was later acquired by Goldcorp. Penasquito, 227 km east of Cerro las Minitas, is Mexico’s largest gold producer. “We got Penasquito to the stage where it really became interesting See SOUTHERN SILVER / 10

t’s easy for your mind to drift back into history when visiting Great Panther Silver’s (TSX: GPR; NYSE-MKT: GPL) silver-gold operations at its Guanajuato mine complex (GMC) in the city of Guanajuato, Mexico, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The narrow road that leads to the underground operation winds between colourful Spanish baroqueinspired architecture, with local musicians, dressed in traditional seventeenth century costumes, at almost every turn. Beneath the vibrant city, however, is a different scene. Since 1548, miners have carved a labyrinth of tunnels that extend 4.2 km long and up to 1 km deep, largely engineered by Spanish colonists chasing the district’s rich epithermal silver veins.

35+ years in executive recruitment and compensation advisory - Mining recruitment in Mexico and Latin America - 4,500+ completed searches - 60 global offices

Over its 400-year mining history, more than 1 billion oz. silver and 4 million oz. gold have been mined from the GMC, making it the second-largest silver district in Mexico, behind Fresnillo in Zacatecas state. Great Panther showed up in town in 2005 to buy the GMC and San Ignacio claims, and its associated mining infrastructure, for US$7.3 million from the “Sociedad Cooperativa Minera Metalurgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato,” otherwise known as the Cooperative. As we arrived at Great Panther’s

milling and office buildings, The Northern Miner was joined by president and CEO Robert Archer, who described his first experience of Guanajuato and its operations over a decade ago. “The miners were chiselling the veins by hand on their backs, and there was very little drilling completed on the property,” he said. “The silver price was US$7 per ounce and change and the Cooperative was losing money on a daily basis. So we saw it as an opportunity to build resources and create a more

modern and longer-life operation.” Shortly after acquiring the property, Great Panther began underground mining five main veins across the GMC: Guanajuatito, Cata Clavo, Los Pozos, Santa Margarita and San Cayetano. The ore is moved to the firm’s 1,200-tonne-per-day milling facility via underground tunnels at a rate of 400 tonnes per day. In 2014, the company added material from its San Ignacio mine, See GREAT PANTHER / 8

located 22 km from the mill. Archer says the company plans to ramp up production at San Ignacio from its current 550 tonnes per day to 700 tonnes per day by year-end. San Ignacio is next to Endeavour Silver’s (TSX: EDR; NYSE: EXK) Lucero mine, a now-depleted satellite deposit to the company’s larger Bolanitos operation, 2 km north, which produced 277,000 oz. silver and 8,500 oz. gold during this year’s second quarter. “San Ignacio really helped us through the downturn, especially last year. When we started production, the veins were 2 or 3 metres wide, but they ballooned out to 15 metres and the grades increased once we did step-out drilling,” he said. “That allowed us to change the mine plan, and we increased tonnage and ounces when it was critical to keep costs down and production up.” A drive into San Ignacio’s tunnels with Great Panther’s vice-president of exploration, Robert Brown, offers a different kind of history lesson. The dark, volcanic walls are cut with brilliant white and banded quartz-carbonate veins that are the remnants of the hydrothermal

fluids that filled the cracks. Brown says that the degree of silver and gold mineralization largely depends on where the fluids reached boiling temperatures within the crust. “San Ignacio was a one-phase system, it cracked and then the fluids came in. The elevations where boiling occurred is quite consistent around 2,340 metres elevation for 150 metres vertical extent,” he says, “whereas mineralization at Guana-

juato occurred over and over again in several pulses, and fluctuated over larger vertical extents. Perhaps it might’ve been the core of the system, or closest to the heat source.” While underground, Archer said the company has budgeted 16,000 metres of drilling at the GMC and San Ignacio this year. The goal, he says, is to “increase our regional and local resource base to the point where we can justify a plant expansion. “At this point we can’t say whether or not we’ll do it, it depends on the success of the drilling programs. But to justify it you need a resource base first,” he said. “Guanajuato is a world-class deposit and a longlife operation, and there’s still a lot of potential to keep the mine going. We’re always finding new mineralization zones.” The company also has access to old mining stopes at the GMC, which could add between 200,000 and 290,000 tonnes ranging from 59 to 252 grams silver per tonne and 1.03 to 3.52 grams gold per tonne. Existing measured and indicated resources at the GMC, as of July last year, add up to 150,000 tonnes of 269 grams silver and 1.5 grams gold, for a total of 1.81 million equivalent oz. silver. Inferred resou rces tack on 136,000 tonnes of 151 grams silver and 2.3 grams gold for 1.36 million equivalent oz. silver. Both calculations assume a US$74 net smelter return (NSR) cut-off and US$15 per oz. silver and US$1,100

per oz. gold. “We’ll never have a large resource base here, that’s just way it is. Our goal is to replace what we mine each year and always stay a little bit ahead,” Archer said. He adds that 30% of what Great Panther mines is outside the resource area, because the mineralization occurs too close to historical workings and can’t be block-modelled to National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards. Last December, measured and indicated resources at San Ignacio stood at 360,000 tonnes of 145 grams silver and 3.2 grams gold for 4.3 million equivalent oz. silver. Inferred resources added 771,000 tonnes of 138 grams silver and 2.76 grams gold, for 8.3 million equivalent oz. silver. Both calculations assume a US$74 NSR cut-off and US$15 per oz. silver and US$1,100 per oz. gold. Armed guards and muzzled dogs were standing outside of San Ignacio’s underground access ramp. It was a reminder of an insurgence by protestors at the company’s GMC facilities in March 2014. Archer says 60 people seized the company’s main office building and plant facility before authorities could peacefully remove them four days later. He commented that in the weeks leading up to the event, violent confrontations by illegal miners were escalating underground. “The illegal miners increased in number, and they were threatening our workers and stealing our

equipment. When they started coming down with guns, that’s when we got guards,” he said. “The occupation happened on a Sunday, when no one was around, and they locked the gates from the inside. The group was made up of mostly older people, some women and children, and a few middle-aged men. But it was organized by the same man who was also a leader for the illegal miners, so both events are somewhat related.” Archer says the company hasn’t had any more problems, and he doesn’t anticipate a recurrence, but the company is keeping its security for preventative measures. Both GMC and San Ignacio accounted for 75% of Great Panther’s production so far this year, with the rest coming from its Topia silverlead-zinc mine in Mexico’s westcentral Durango state. During the second quarter, Great Panther processed 99,900 tonnes across its operations and produced 537,000 oz. silver and 6,010 oz. gold, at all-in sustaining costs of US$7.19 per oz. silver. Rising gold and silver prices and favourable exchange rates bumped up the firm’s revenues to $25.6 million, in a 33% increase, compared to the same quarter last year. As of August, the company’s cash position stood at $66 million, which includes funds from a US$29.9million bought-deal financing in July, and a US$10-million, at-themarket offering in April. The bought-deal financing entailed 18.7 million units sold at US$1.60 apiece, with each unit comprised of a share and one-half warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable within 18 months at US$2.25 per share. Archer said the proceeds are partly intended for project acquisition. Although the company backed out of an option agreement for Nyrstar’s Coricancha polymetallic mine in Peru, it is evaluating the project and could still buy the mine. “The financing has put us in a strong position. We look to buy something that will add value to our company, and having that money puts us in a much stronger position,” he said. Shares of Great Panther have traded in a 52-week range of 47¢ to $2.82, and closed at $1.61 at press time. The company has 166.3 million shares outstanding for a $244.7-million market capitalization.

THE NORTHERN MINER / SEPTEMBER 5–11, 2016

EXPLORATION AND MINING IN MEXICO Junior snapshot: Nine companies on the move oz. silver produced per year, plus half of any excess at US$4.20 (plus 1% inflation) per oz. silver. The rest of the silver produced is sold at spot market prices.

For many Canadian miners and mineral explorers, Mexico stands alongside Canada and the U.S. as a preferred destination for mining projects, with the country boasting a rich mineral bounty (particularly in silver and gold), excellent infrastructure, low costs, great weather and a centuries-old mining culture.

SAN MARCO RESOURCES

The following are nine examples of companies at various stages of activity in Mexico. AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES Vancouver-based Avino Silver & Gold Mines (TSXV: ASM; NYSEMKT: ASM) declared commercial production at its Avino silver-goldcopper mine Mexico’s Durango state during the second quarter, after years of effort by its team in Mexico and Canada. It adds a second producing silver mine to Avino’s roster. The Avino mine has plenty of history, having been first opened by the Spaniards in the 1500s and supplying wealth to Spain for hundreds of years. Avino says the mine operated intermittently ever since, including for 27 years under Avino Silver & Gold Mines beginning in 1974. The larger Avino property includes the company’s operating San Gonzalo silver mine, which entered commercial production in October 2012. San Gonzalo and the newly reopened Avino mine feed one conventional, three-circuit flotation mill, with a 1,500-tonne-per-day capacity. During the second quarter, Avino’s company-wide production totalled 380,600 oz. silver, 1,500 oz. gold and 1.05 million lb. copper., or 630,000 equivalent oz. silver. GOLDGROUP MINING Keith Piggott-led Goldgroup Mining (TSX: GGA: US-OTC: GGAZF) has two main gold assets in Mexico: the new, fully owned Cerro Prieto mine in Sonora state and the 50%-owned San Jose de Gracia development project in Sinaloa state. While it produced gold in 2014 and 2015, Cerro Prieto achieved first commercial production in the second quarter of 2016. Goldgroup expects gold production for 2016 to be 15,000 oz. gold at a US$900 per oz. cash cost, with a 5% silver credit. Mine optimization is ongoing, including hooking up the mine to the state power grid to lower diesel consumption. Goldgroup’s share of the gold resources on these two properties approaches 900,000 oz. gold, but mostly in the indicated and inferred categories, and so one of Goldgroup’s immediate tasks is to upgrade and expand the resource through drilling. The junior also has the El Mozo epithermal gold exploration project in southern Ecuador. MCEWEN MINING McEwen Mining (TSX: MUX; NYSE: MUX) has become a well-known name in the Mexican mining scene, with its El Gallo open-pit, gold-silver mine ramp-up in Mexico’s Sinaloa state to complement its 49%-owned San Jose underground silver-gold mine in southern Argentina. El Gallo saw its first gold pour in 2013 and could produce 55,000 equivalent oz. gold in 2016 . Despite some permitting delays, McEwen is developing the nearby El Gallo Silver mine project, which is slated to produce 5.2 million oz. silver and 6,100 oz. gold annually. During the second quarter, McEwen bought a royalty on its El Gallo property for US$5.3 million, ending

Processing facilities at Sierra Metals’ Bolivar copper-silver mine in Chihuahua state, Mexico. SIERRA METALS the quarter with no debt and liquid assets of US$36.7 million in cash, US$14.3 million in precious metals and US$4.7 million in marketable securities. For all of 2016, McEwen expects to produce 99,500 oz. gold and 3.34 million oz. silver at all-in sustaining costs of US$935 per oz. gold equivalent. At the head office in Toronto, Donald Brown is joining the company as senior vice-president of projects, after having served as vice-president of projects at Glencore, and construction manager for Bechtel’s Mining and Metals group. Brown will also help develop McEwen’s new Gold Bar gold mine project in Nevada. MINERA ALAMOS

NYSE-MKT: NGD) has one of its four producing mines in central Mexico: Cerro San Pedro. The wholly owned open-pit, heap-leach mine is near the end of its life, with New Gold ending active mining in late June and transitioning to residual leaching. Second-quarter gold output at Cerro San Pedro dropped to 17,287 oz. gold and 200,000 oz. silver at all-in sustaining costs of US$941 per oz. gold. As New Gold winds down its Mexican operations, attention will move to its two growth projects — the Rainy River gold mine under construction in Ontario, and the Blackwater gold project in B.C. — as well as its three operating gold mines: New Afton in B.C., Mesquite in California and Peak Mines in Australia.

Chris Frostad’s Minera Alamos (TSXV: MAI) has two advanced, open-pit projects in northwest Mexico: the La Fortuna gold project in western Durango state, and the Los Verdes copper-molybdenum project in southeastern Sonora state.

As of June 30, the company had US$474 million in liquidity, including US$220 million in cash and equivalents.

At La Fortuna, Minera Alamos looks to build a starter-pit that would exploit 4.8 million measured and indicated tonnes grading 1.98 grams gold per tonne, or 308,000 contained oz. gold. The company aims to finish its technical reports in the fourth quarter of 2016, so that it can make a production decision in the first quarter of 2017.

Toronto-based Primero Mining (TSX: P; NYSE: PPP) has evolved in recent years into a dependable producer from two substantial mines: the world-class San Dimas underground gold-silver mine in the town of Tayolta in Mexico’s Durango state, and the underground Black Fox underground gold mine in Ontario’s Timmins camp.

Minera Alamos is expanding its property footprint around La Fortuna and rethinking the project’s expansion potential, based on positive results from its latest grassroots fieldwork.

Since mid-2014, Primero has worked on a second expansion at San Dimas that should bring the mine’s nameplate capacity to 3,000 tonnes per day during the third quarter of 2016, or an annual 215,000 equivalent oz. gold per year.

Meanwhile at the less advanced Los Verdes, the next milestone is a preliminary economic assessment. Based in Toronto, Minera Alamos has raised $8 million over the last 12 months and is fully funded to finish its current work program, with $2 million in cash and no debt in August 2016.

PRIMERO MINING

Billing itself as “one of the largest exploration landholders in the Mulatos gold district,” San Marco Resources (TSXV: SMN) is exploring for gold in eastern Sonora state, and quietly acquiring land in part by staking hydrothermal systems defined by large alteration zones. Though a small grassroots explorer, San Marco’s board has big names in junior mining: chairman R. Stuart (Tookie) Angus, president and CEO Robert D. Willis, Brian Lock, William Myckatyn, Craig Prenter and Andrew Carstensen. Its main asset, the Cuatro de Mayo project in Sonora, comprises 732 sq. km within 20 km of three operating mines, and the property hosts “numerous known gold, silver and base metal showings.” As of Dec. 31, San Marco had 27.8 million shares outstanding, or 44.7 million fully diluted, with insiders holding 21%. SIERRA METALS Sierra Metals ( TSX: SMT ; US-OTC: DBEXF) has become an experienced polymetallic producer with three underground operations: the fully owned Bolivar copper-silver mine and Cusi silver-lead mine in southwest and central Chihuahua state, Mexico, and the 82%-owned Yauricocha silver-copper-leadzinc mine near Lima, Peru. Company-wide, Sierra produced 3 million oz. silver equivalent in the second quarter compared to the yearago total of 3.2 million equivalent oz. silver. The Toronto-based company took

in US$9.6 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization over the first six months of 2016, and sat mid-year with US$26 million in cash, US$85 million in debt and US$41 million in liquidity. Of note, Sierra achieved record throughput at both Bolivar and Cusi during the second quarter. Sierra Metals is considering adding a listing on a U.S. stock exchange to boost trading volume and liquidity. Current major shareholders are Arias Resource Capital (51%) and Black Rock (10%). XTIERRA Toronto-based Xtierra (TSXV: XAG) has long been developing its wholly owned Balboa zinc-silver-lead project in Zacatecas state’s Central Silver Belt, having so far spent $22.6 million on the project. The high-water mark for Xtierra was in 2014, with a resource calculation and preliminary economic assessment by Runge Pincock Minarco, which envisaged mining at a rate of 2,000 tonnes per day to exploit head grades of 2.1% zinc, 63.96 grams silver per tonne and 1.4% lead, and produce concentrates containing annual averages of 20 million lb. zinc, 1 million oz. silver and 17 million lb. lead. Since then Xtierra has had increasingly severe working capital restraints, and as of late August 2016, was negotiating further extensions of its secured notes with its two largest shareholders (combined 66.4% interest) to avoid foreclosure. As of June 30, total assets stood at $45,000, with liabilities at $1.2 million. The stock has gone from half a cent as recently as March, and passed the ten-bagger mark in July. At press time shares traded at 6.5¢ for a $6.5-million market capitalization, based on 116.4 million shares outstanding. TNM

For all of 2016, Primero is guiding San Dimas production at 110,000 to 120,000 oz. gold and 6.5 million to 7.5 million oz. silver, or 135,000 to 145,000 oz. gold equivalent.

NEW GOLD

Combining the two mines’ output, Primero is set to produce 195,000 to 215,000 oz. gold equivalent in 2016, at total cash costs of US$775 to US$825 per ounce.

to Glamis Gold and to Goldcorp, and shareholders of Western Silver ended up with a $1.2-billion payday, if you look at the value of their share appreciation going through Glamis into Goldcorp,” Page says. “Penasquito was a big home run for shareholders, and we wanted to see if we could emulate it again, using the same geologists and directors.” The dream team Southern Silver put together for its exploration work in Mexico consisted of three geologists with impressive credentials: Thomas Patton, Adrian Robles Salazar and Roger Scammell. It was Patton who, as president of Western Silver, had arranged for the company to acquire Penasquito from his former employer, Kennecott. Robles Salazar had worked with Patton at Penasquito while both men were at Kennecott, and was hired by Southern Silver as its country geologist for Mexico, and introduced the company to the Cerro las Minitas property (where he also drilled the discovery hole). Scammell joined Southern Silver’s board in 2002 after leaving Teck Resources (TSX: TCK.B; NYSE: TCK), where he and his team found the San Nicolas VMS deposit, in the Mexican state of Zacatecas. Scammell was Teck’s country manager for Mexico from 1992 to 2002, and under his direction the company also discovered the El Limon gold skarn in Mexico’s Guerrero state, which is now owned by Torex Gold Resources (TSX: TXG). The El Limon-Guajes mine started commercial production in March and according to Torex is one of the world’s richest openpit gold mines in the world, with a resource grade of 2.65 grams gold. Cerro las Minitas, which means “a hill of many mines,” is an area made up of artisanal workings. The orebody is centered around the Cerro las Minitas outcrop, which pokes out of gravel. Page and his team put together a claim package of 25 lineal kilometres, and acquired most of it from a Mexican national. The project has a prestigious area code. Contiguous to Cerro las Minitas east is Hecla Mining’s (NYSE: HL) producing San Sebastian mine, while 28 km west is Coeur Mining’s (NYSE: CDE) La Preciosa project. Fourteen kilometres south are two producing mines owned by Avino Silver & Gold Mines (TSXV: ASM; NYSEMKT: ASM), and 133 km north is

the Pitarillo project owned by Silver Standard Resources (TSX: SSO). Southern Silver completed its US$4 million earn-in for 100% of Cerro las Minitas in 2015 with the help of Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX), which was interested in the property because its geologists said that a copper-gold porphyry lay underneath the outcrop at depth. Freeport spent US$5 million earning into the project before abandoning the option in 2014, and leaving Southern Silver with all the data. “We were lucky having Freeport assist in providing money to purchase the property,” Page says. “They drilled a couple of deep holes and they also did some airborne electromagnetic surveys and ground surveys, got some values — but not enough to convince them to stay. There still might be a deep porphyry under there, and we’ll look for it one day, but it’s expensive, so we’re drilling at a more shallow level and we’re into metallics.” Since 2011, Southern Silver has drilled 91 core holes totalling 35,955 metres and identified a cumulative strike length at Cerro las Minitas of 1,000 metres and up to 600 metres deep. Other work includes surface geochemical and biogeochemical sampling, airborne magnetics and induced-polarization and gravity geophysics.

In March, it completed the first resource estimate on the project. The company reported that the indicated resource based on two deposits — the Blind zone and El Sol — stands at 3.7 million tonnes grading 305 equivalent grams silver per tonne (90 grams silver per tonne, 0.05 gram gold per tonne, 2.3% lead, 2.5% zinc and 0.1% copper), for 36.5 million contained oz. gold-equivalent. The resource estimate used a cut-off grade of 150 grams per tonne silverequivalent. The inferred resource — which includes a third deposit on the western side of the central intrusion called the Santo Nino zone — measures 6.6 million tonnes grading 363 grams silver-equivalent per tonne (82 grams silver, 0.17 gram gold, 1.6% lead, 4.3% zinc and 0.2% copper), for a total of 77.25 million contained oz. silver-equivalent. Southern Silver’s goals are to double or possibly triple the resource through further exploration on the property. Last year, drilling in the area of the historic Mina la Bocona mine intersected high-grade sulphides outside of historic mining along the eastern contact with the central intrusion, which the company says is a discovery. (Mineralization at La Bocona was not included in the resource estimate.) Mina La Bocona was formerly

mined by artisanal workers to 220 metres deep. Highlights from Southern Silver’s drilling — 350 metres east of the historic workings — include 7.8 metres grading 13.5 grams gold, 37 grams silver, 2.2% lead and 1.7% zinc. The mineralization at La Bocona is 1.3 km from the Blind and El Sol deposits. Earlier this year the company identified a 29.5-metre thick zone of polymetallic mineralization about 300 to 400 metres from the Blind and El Sol deposits, at 600 metres deep. “This is an area that we would want to be doing more drilling and where we have high potential to add high tonnage to the resource base,” the company’s general manager of exploration Robert Macdonald says. “We’ve identified two main target areas to follow up at Cerro las Minitas, and we would look at another 5,000 to 10,000 metres of drilling over the next year on those programs,” Macdonald continues. “And as we develop some of these other targets we’ll strike a balance between the development of discoveries, and deeper and expansive drilling at Cerro las Minitas itself.” This year, Southern Silver will focus on soil sampling and rotary air blast (RAB) drilling to test the eastern and western sides of the property.

drilling at its nearby San Sebastian mine. “Hecla was able to discover their resource using RAB drilling on a shallow basis,” he says. “It was successful for Hecla, and we think it will be successful for us. And historically, when Kennecott owned Penasquito, that was the exploration tool they used to get to bedrock on a cost-efficient basis, which was a great vector to finding where the mineralization is at greater depths. “We’re funded and the program is underway to look for targets on the balance of the property,” Page notes. “We have a pretty good idea what we have around the Cerro, and now we want to see what the balance of the property may have.” Page hopes that Cerro las Minitas will become Electrum’s second producing mine in Mexico, after its Los Gatos project in Chihuahua. Indeed, the similarities that Electrum saw between Los Gatos and Cerro las Minitas prompted them to approach Southern Silver in the first place. Electrum’s consultant, Larry Buchanan, sold Los Gatos to the New York-based investor group, and recommended that it take a closer look at Cerro las Minitas. “Buchanan is the one who found the Apex silver project in Bolivia, which was very, very successful for Dr. Kaplan, and he knew about the Cerro property and recommended it to the Electrum people,” Page says. “He also discovered the Los Gatos project in Chihuahua and thought there was a parallel between the Los Gatos property and Cerro las Minitas.” Electrum’s privately held Sunshine Silver Mining & Refining is advancing the Los Gatos deposit, 128 km south of Chihuahua City in northern Mexico, and is working on a preliminary economic assessment. “Los Gatos is a bit more of a vein system than what we have at Cerro las Minitas, but we are also looking at a silver-lead-zinc system primarily with very, very good zinc credits, with some precious metal enrichment in gold and copper, as well,” Macdonald says. “These are all similar intrusion-related systems — large systems that have the potential to be developed into tens of millions of tonnes of mineralization in each of the deposit areas.” Under Electrum’s option to earn 60% of the project, it must spend US$5 million on exploration, and the group has access to capital. In June, Japan’s Dowa Metals & Mining Co. invested US$50 million for a 30% stake in the Los Gatos project. “It’s a great relationship with Electrum because not only do we obtain capital from them, but they also have human resources from exploration right through to mining that we are able to avail ourselves of at no cost,” Page says. As for operating in Mexico, Page says, “it’s a good jurisdiction” where Canadian companies have mined for many years, and where one of Southern Silver’s neighbours, Avino Silver & Gold, has operated since the late 1960s. “Mexico is a good place to be, silver is a great metal to be in right now and you’ve got the zinc side as well, so all of this is coming together,” he says. “We’ve had a long drought from 2008 until now and some people disappeared, but we managed to survive and develop. “It was difficult, but now it seems like all the components for success have come together, so we think we’ve got a bright future.” Over the last year Southern Silver’s stock has ranged from 2.5¢ up to 66¢, and at press time traded at 50¢ per share. The company has 79.5 million shares outstanding for a $50-million market capitalization. Management and close associates hold 10% of the company’s shares. TNM

Timmins Gold’s flagship San Francisco gold mine, 150 km north of Hermosillo, Mexico. TIMMINS GOLD

Timmins gains ‘breathing room,’ thanks to gold rally GOLD MINING BY MATTHEW KEEVIL mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

exico-focused Timmins Gold (TSX: TMM; NYSEMKT: TGD) will stay in the gold mining business thanks to the sustained rise in precious metal prices over the past six months. Eight months ago Timmins was forced to announce the impending closure of its San Francisco operation, which lies 150 km north of Hermosillo, Mexico. The open-pit gold mine is the company’s sole producing asset, and its prospects for developing the recently acquired Ana Paula gold project looked grim at the time, owing to the firm’s weak balance sheet. Fast forward to Aug. 12, and Timmins Gold’s second-quarter financials were headlined by adjusted earnings of US$6.4 million, or 2¢ per share, on metal revenue of US$33 million, compared to US$629,000 and US$27.8 million a year ago. The company ended the quarter with US$12.5 million in its treasury. The company boosted its average head grade at San Francisco 12% year-on-year to 0.6 gram gold per tonne, while all-in sustaining costs

| Planned mine closure cancelled after San Francisco exceeds expectations in Q2 dropped 33% to US$761 per oz. over the same period. Timmins cranked out nearly 26,000 oz. gold during the quarter. The company raised its full-year production guidance by 15,000 oz. to between 90,000 and 100,000 oz. As a result of the “higher sustained gold price,” management said operations at San Francisco could continue well beyond 2016. Timmins is engaged in engineering work to determine an optimal mine plan. “San Francisco continues to exceed expectations in terms of grade, strip ratio and unit operating costs,” interim CEO Mark Backens said during a conference call. “We’re pleased to report that due to positive operating results at [the mine], we have elected to cancel its planned closure. We expect similar operating margins and associated cash flow for the balance of the year.” Timmins boosted its balance sheet in May by selling its Caballo Blanco property to Candelaria Mining, which resulted in US$9.3-million in upfront cash payments. The company repaid a US$10.2-million loan facility and settled a $2-million debenture with the Lundin Group. Timmins also started “pre-construction activities” at Ana Paula,

which it acquired through a merger with Newstrike Capital in early 2015. The property sits along the prospective Guerrero gold belt next to Torex Gold Resources’ (TSX: TXG; US-OTC: TORXF) emerging El Limon-Guajes mine. The company will spend US$9.2 million at Ana Paula this year on 16,000 metres of drilling, metallurgical test work and a new feasibility study. Timmins expects to finish the studies by September, and get all construction permits before March 2018. Based on a preliminary economic assessment released in 2014, Ana Paula could produce 116,000 oz. gold annually over eight years, at all-in sustaining costs of US$526 per oz., net of by-product credits. The study pegged initial costs at US$121.7 million, and used a US$1,300 per oz. gold price. “With the improvements in our balance sheet and operations at San Francisco, we can unlock the value of Ana Paula. We view this project as one of the best development-stage gold projects in North America,” Backens said. Ana Paula hosts 1.9 million oz. gold and 7.1 million contained oz. silver within 41 million tonnes grad-

ing 1.47 equivalent grams gold. On Aug. 22 Timmins tabled an updated mine plan for San Francisco that would see operations continue through 2023. Life-of-mine production is an estimated 450,000 to 500,000 oz. gold at cash costs between US$900 and US$950 per ounce. Backens says that “expected cash flow from operations will comfortably fund the pre-construction work program at Ana Paula.” Updated reserves at San Francisco total 574,000 contained oz. gold, within 32 million tonnes grading 0.56 gram gold. BMO Capital Markets analyst Brian Quast noted that the updated outlook at San Francisco appears “only slightly better” than the previous mine plan at “half the amount of production.” BMO Research has

an “underperform” rating on Timmins, along with a 63¢ target price. “Although San Francisco should help generate cash flow at the current gold price, we expect that Timmins will have to raise a substantial amount of capital [likely in the form of equity] to fund Ana Paula to completion,” Quast said. “The repayment of debt and the recent gold price rally gives [the company] a slight amount of breathing room, in our view. We recognize that the share price likely has a lot of torque to a rising gold price, because of the optionality,” he said. Timmins has traded within a 52week range of 10¢ to 80¢, and closed at 63¢ per share at press time. The company has 316 million shares outstanding for a $203-million market capitalization. TNM
