EVENT GUIDE | 2020 CANADIAN MINING SYMPOSIUM Presented by The Northern Miner
www.northernminer.com/2020-canadian-mining-symposium/
Canadian Mining Symposium goes virtual
I
t was only four short years ago that we held our inaugural Canadian Mining Symposium. The idea was to bring the best of Canadian mining and exploration to investment audiences in the U.K. and continental Europe. In partnership with the High Commission of Canada in the U.K. and the PDAC in Toronto, that inaugural event was a runaway success, with an array of headline speakers packing the room and bringing the key insights that top tier investors need to know. That opening event was followed by two more outstanding years, with the industry’s biggest names coming to speak at each successive symposium. We were geared up for our fourth installment when the coronavirus pandemic struck. Undeterred we quickly pivoted and decided on doing a virtual event. Same great speakers, same dates, same investment focus. And with the move to the virtual realm have come some key advantages. No longer are we confined by the 200-person capacity of the glorious main room at Canada House, we’ll be taking this event to well over 1,000 delegates for the virtual, and those investors will be logging on to the event from all across the world. The event has become more global, but it still is all about the people. And this year we have again received incredible support from our speakers and our sponsors so that we are able to bring the mining and exploration investor together with the key people that are driving the industry into the future. We look forward to virtually seeing you at this show and many more to come. Stay safe everyone and live well!

Condor has recently permitted 2 high grade feeder pits and currently has 1.12M oz gold open pit mineral resource including a mineral reserve permitted for production. The 1.2M oz gold underground mineral resource could be permitted once in production.
The Company is currently completing all engineering studies to make the Project “shovel ready” and break ground at the end of 2020. The Company is running a number of mining scenarios ahead of a construction decision, including a minimum capex, maximum cashflow scenario. Condor Gold currently has a high-grade gold mineral resource of 2.33M oz gold at 4.0g/t gold, which contains an economic probably mineral reserve of 6.9 million tonnes at 3.0 grammes per tonne gold for 675,000 ounces gold. The high grade means the breakeven all in sustaining cash costs are low at US$700 per oz gold. The internal rate of return is approximately 31%. A second part of the strategy is to prove a 5M oz gold district.

Its ongoing fiveyear exploration program aims to discover 10-15Moz of Indicated Resources by 2021 which represents more than twice the reserve depletion during the period. So far, over 6Moz have already been discovered. In March 2020, Endeavour announced the acquisition of SEMFAFO, which will create a top 15 global gold producer with +1 million ounces of gold production per year, six operations and an attractive growth pipeline.
