BIOGRAPHY | Darnley Bay options Thompson Creek's former Davidson project
BY TRISH SAYWELL

S
ince leaving his job as a journalist at The Northern Miner
in 1987, Kerry Knoll has cofounded four companies and built
four mines with his business partner
Ian McDonald.
Their first company, Glencairn
Gold, went on to become Central Sun Mining before getting
snapped up by B2Gold (TSX: BTO;
NYSE-MKT: BTG). Their second
company, Wheaton River Minerals, was eventually taken over by
Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG), and
their third, Blue Pearl Mining, is
now known as Thompson Creek
Metals (TSX: TCM).
Today the entrepreneurs are still
involved in projects together, such
as the Paris Hills phosphate property in Idaho, owned by Stonegate
Agricom (TSX: ST), a company they
set up in 2006 and took public in
2010. McDonald serves as chairman
of the board and CEO, and Knoll
is a director.
Lately, however, Knoll has become enamoured once again with
molybdenum — a metal that he and
McDonald profited from handsomely during their stewardship
of Blue Pearl Mining.
Within three months of acquiring the Davidson property near
Smithers, B.C., in late 2004, the
price of molybdenum oxide doubled
from US$6–7 per lb. to US$14 per lb.
moly. The company’s shares soared
from 6¢ at the time of optioning
Davidson to $3 — a “50-bagger,”
in the industry lingo.
“Our timing was fortunate,”
Knoll recalls in an interview during a recent business trip to Toronto.
“Suddenly we were the hot stock
on the street.”
Knoll says the timing could be
right for a spike in molybdenum
prices once again, and in March,
Darnley Bay Resources (TSXV:
DBL), a junior exploration company where he serves on the board
of directors, optioned the same
Davidson project that Blue Pearl
owned a decade ago.
To support his instincts, Knoll
likes to point to a research report

Friedberg Mercantile Group
were listed among the top40, highest-earning hedge fund
managers in the world by Forbes
magazine in 2011.
More recent rankings weren’t
immediately available, but when
the Toronto-based trader with billions of dollars under management
invests in a junior mining company,
its stock tends to take off.
That’s precisely what happened
when Golden Predator Mining
(TSXV: GPY) announced that an
entity controlled by Friedberg and
members of his immediate family

mand for molybdenum-bearing
steel and chemicals will support
a recovery in ferro molybdenum
prices to US$13 to $US15 per lb.,
starting from 2017. Prices for
ferro molybdenum plunged from
US$35.39 per lb. in June 2014 to
US$4.70 per lb. in November 2015,
and sit at US$5.50 per lb. ferro
molybdenum.
“That’s a big, bold prediction,”
Knoll says. “That’s not saying it is
going up 20%, that’s saying it’s going
to go up two and a half times … we
know Davidson is not economic at
US$5.50 per lb., but at US$15 per
lb., it probably is.”
Under the Davidson option
agreement, Darnley Bay made an
initial payment of $50,000 to Roda
Holdings in April. Subsequent payments of $100,000 are due on the
anniversary of the agreement until
the project starts commercial production — defined as a minimum
500,000 tonnes of molybdenum
over 12 months.
“It’s really rare that you can buy
something this cheap — our down
payment is the cost of one drill
hole,” Knoll says, adding that when
Blue Pearl owned Davidson and
molybdenum prices were at their
peak, the project was probably
worth $250 million.
Darnley Bay is also getting a
project that has had quite a lot
of work done already. Previous

owners completed 62,000 metres
of diamond drilling from surface
and underground. It also undertook 2,600 metres of underground
excavation, primarily a 2 km long
exploration adit driven into the
heart of Hudson Bay Mountain,
where the deposit lies.
After Thompson Creek Metals
optioned the Davidson property in
2005, it completed another 12,000
metres of diamond drilling from
surface and underground, as well
as some metallurgical test work.
In 2006, Blue Pearl raised $700
million ($400 million in debt and
$300 million in equity) to acquire
Thompson Creek Metals, which at
the time was the largest privately
owned mining company in the
United States.
“I’m not positive, but that’s the
largest raise by a junior mining
company ever,” Knoll says. “When
I say a ‘junior mining company,’ I
am referring to a company with no
actual production. That was Ian — he
did it. I was busy running Glencairn
at the time.”
In 2007, Blue Pearl changed its
name to Thompson Creek Mining.
McDonald, Blue Pearl’s co-founder and Knoll’s long-time business
partner, reminisces in a telephone
interview from the Bahamas that
“the stars and the moon were aligned
with Blue Pearl.”
The valuations were certainly
sky-high. When Blue Pearl bought
Thompson Creek, it was making a
million-dollar-a-day profit at US$30
per lb. moly. “But the street valued
it at US$2 billion, and that is where
our market cap went, and the shares
reached $24 by 2007 — by now a
400-bagger — and again we were
the best performing stock on the
TSX,” Knoll says. “Just raising the
$700 million made us heroes again.
But the fact that we accomplished
something most junior companies
could only dream of doing was the
true success story.”
Thompson Creek disposed of the
Davidson project in 2013 when it got
out of the molybdenum business
— giving Knoll the opportunity to
jump back into the project.
“They were closing their moly
mines,” Knoll says, adding that
Thompson Creek is “in difficult
straits right now because of their
debt.”
Now Darnley Bay has access to
the Davidson drill core, which has
been preserved in Smithers.
“We’re getting a property at exactly the point I like a property to
be — it’s at the stage where you can
do a feasibility study,” Knoll says,
adding that Thompson Creek Metals
did a feasibility study on Davidson
in 2008, but never filed it on SEDAR.
(The study envisioned moving the
ore 200 km by truck to the privately
owned Endako mill. The trip alone
accounted for half the production
costs of US$9.46 per lb. molybdenum
— and was a non-starter.)
If the numbers in Darnley Bay’s
upcoming feasibility study on Davidson look good, the company would
consider building a stand-alone mill
for the project.
For Knoll, the downturn in the
commodities market and the fact
that so many companies are staggering under piles of debt and, like
Thompson Creek, have had to shed
assets, makes it the perfect time for
lucrative deals.
“This is the best time in the history
of our business to get involved in a
deal, and that’s why we’re doing it,”
he says of Darnley Bay’s Davidson
option. “But we’re not going to stick
with just this one property. We want
to get three or four properties and
different commodities.”
His first preference is for projects
in British Columbia.
“We still think B.C. is one of the
best places to be,” he says. “It has
never ranked high on the Fraser
Institute’s lists, but there have been
more mines built there over the last
20 years than any other province
or state.”
One of those was Canada’s first
heap-leach operation at the Golden
Bear mine, 145 km west of Dease
Lake.
Knoll and McDonald acquired
Golden Bear in 1997 and turned it
into a heap-leach operation. (The
mine eventually ended up in the
hands of Goldcorp after its merger
with Wheaton River.)
Knoll says he became fascinated
by heap-leach mines while covering
them as a reporter at The Northern
Miner.
“I wrote a long article about heap
leaching and I started asking why
there weren’t any heap leach mines
in Canada, and everybody had their
reasons, but none of them added
up,” he recalls.

“One theory reasoned that it was
because of Canada’s cold temperatures. I called up a company called
‘Pegasus,’ which operated five heapleach mines in Montana, which is
as cold as Canada, and they said the
cold wasn’t a problem at all. They said
all it does is slow down the leaching
process a little bit. So I thought, I’m
going to leave The Northern Miner,
and I’m going to find a heap-leach
deposit in Canada and be the first.
Well, we were the first.”
Knoll estimates that the Golden
Bear mine had about a year left
of reserves when the company
he co-founded with McDonald,
called “Wheaton River,” bought it
for $500,000 from Homestake, a
large mining company in the U.S.
(Homestake merged with Barrick
Gold in December 2001.)
“Homestake also posted a bond to
pay off all the severance and clean
up all the environmental stuff, so we
got it in pretty good shape for next
to nothing,” Knoll says. “We started
drilling and found two deposits and
switched it to a heap-leach mine.
Even though gold was US$275 per oz.
at the time, we were able to produce
gold for US$125 per oz., so we were
pretty profitable.”
McDonald adds that “we mined
the whole thing out at sub-US$300
per oz. gold, so it was only a five-year
mine life. We learned how risky
mining is, but how rewarding it can
be too. The stock went from 20¢ to
$5, twice — all within two years.”
After Wheaton River finished
mining out Golden Bear in 2002,
Knoll was approached by a group
of people led by Frank Giustra that
included Pierre Lassonde and Ian
Telfer, who wanted to buy the company and use it as a vehicle to buy
gold assets. After turning the keys
over to them, Knoll stayed on for
another year or so, before leaving
permanently.
Telfer took over as president and
embarked on an acquisition spree.
“Their timing was brilliant,” Knoll
recalls. “Telfer was able to raise a lot
of money and his timing was great
… so Wheaton River turned out
well. Then they spun off the concept
with Silver Wheaton. It worked out
very well for me.”
Indeed, when the first company
Knoll co-founded with McDonald,
Glencairn Gold, sold its shares of
Wheaton River, the profits allowed
management to turn Glencairn into
an operating company. By the mid2000s, Glencairn had built three
mines in Central America: El Limon
and La Libertad in Nicaragua, now
owned by B2Gold, and the Bellavista
mine in Costa Rica.
Unfortunately, Bellavista was not
a success. After entering production
in December 2005, the troubled
mine was shut down in May 2007
when cracks were found in corners
of the leach pad, which contained
cyanide, and an avalanche of waste
slid down a hill. Knoll recounts that
period of his career as “stressful,”
although he had left Glencairn at
that point. (Litigation on the waste
spill continues.)
Ironically, it was also Glencairn
that ended up acquiring a nickel
mine in Lynn Lake, Man., formerly
owned by Sherritt Gordon, where
Knoll had worked doing odd jobs
one summer as a 20-year-old.
One of his memories from that
summer was playing baseball for one
of the teams at the mine. “The playing field was on one of the original
tailings deposits, and you couldn’t
get the muck out of your clothing
at the laundry,” he recalls. “I looked
around one day thinking, ‘I can’t
believe they are allowed to make
such a mess.’ Then 30 years later my
company Glencairn owned it and
was expected to clean it up, which
we helped to do.”
The summer job at the nickel mine
was just one of 55 jobs Knoll held
before joining The Northern Miner
in 1981 at the age of 26.
The first was a paper route in
Edmonton. (He was 10 years old,
and perhaps one of the youngest in
Albertan history to develop frostbite
delivering newspapers at 42 degrees below zero.) Subsequent jobs
“THE STARS AND
THE MOON WERE
ALIGNED WITH
BLUE PEARL.”
IAN MCDONALD
BUSINESS PARTNER AND
CO-FOUNDER, BLUE PEARL
(often as many as three at a time)
included flipping burgers, pumping
gas, packing groceries, delivering
pizza, paving roads, driving a food
truck to construction sites, cleaning
industrial waste out of steel drums,
guiding fish tours north of the Arctic
Circle, driving a backhoe at a National Park, and painting houses in
the Northwest Territories.
But The Northern Miner, he says,
was “the best job I ever had,” and still
jokes that after leaving the newspaper, it took him six years before he
managed to get his income back up
to the $36,000 a year he made as a
salaried reporter.
Among the most exciting stories
he covered for the newspaper was
the Hemlo discovery. After interviewing David Bell, the geologist
credited with finding the deposit,
Knoll called McDonald (a stockbroker at the time whom he had
met by chance in an elevator while
covering an event for the newspaper)
and bought 200 shares on his credit
card at $1 apiece.
By the time he got back to the
office, the price had doubled. McDonald advised him to sell it and
take the profit, which he did. Shortly
afterward, the stock jumped to $32
per share. “I thought, ‘Well, I won’t
be keeping him as a client anymore,’”
McDonald says.
Looking back, Knoll and McDonald are the first to admit that not
every company they have created
or been involved with has done well.
In 2006, Knoll and McDonald
founded Stonegate Agricom, which
has invested $42 million developing

Mines Management’s Montanore silver-copper project, 37 km south of the town of Libby in northwestern Montana. MINES MANAGEMENT
Hecla bids for Mines Management
and its Montanore deposit
SILVER-COPPER BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

VANCOUVER
H
ecla Mining (NYSE: HL)
is hoping to fortify its silver development portfolio in the U.S. Northwest with a
US$37-million, all-share acquisition
of Mines Management (TSX: MGT;
NYSE-MKT: MGN) and its large
Montanore silver-copper deposit
in northwestern Montana.
The friendly deal would see Mines
Management shareholders receive
0.2218 of a share of Hecla, or a 41%
premium based on the companies’
10-day, volume-weighted average
trading prices at the time of signing.
Montanore is one of the largest
undeveloped silver and copper
deposits in North America. The
project lies 16 km from Hecla’s
Rock Creek silver project and 80 km
north of its prolific Lucky Friday
silver-lead-zinc operation in Idaho.
The U.S. Forest Service and the
Montana Department of Environmental Quality conditionally approved an operation at Montanore
of up to 18,143 tonnes per day under
an environmental impact statement
(EIS) tabled in December.
“This opportunity emerged for
us and we think it makes good
business sense to control both Rock
Creek and Montanore, and advance
the two projects under common
ownership,” Hecla’s vice-president
of external affairs Luke Russell said
during an interview.
“We’ll definitely explore potential
project synergies after this transaction closes early in the third quarter. We’ll take a hard look at our
strategy, but we see these as two
independent projects. That being
said, we can provide consistency
in technical approach, agency and
permitting, and in the community,”
he added.
The stratabound, sedimenthosted deposit has measured and
indicated resources of 166.3 million oz. silver and 1.2 billion lb.

AFFAIRS, HECLA MINING
copper, within 73.9 million tonnes
of 63.5 grams silver per tonne and
0.8% copper, using a 31.1-gram
silver cut-off. Inferred resources
include 65.1 million oz. silver and
497.5 million lb. copper, within
31.8 million tonnes of 57.5 grams
silver and 0.7% copper.
Mines Management has steadily
advanced project engineering since
Montanore’s discovery in 1983,
by completing 70,000 metres of
diamond drilling, excavating a
4,300-metre evaluation adit and
filing a preliminary economic assessment in 2011.
The study models a US$552-million underground mine that would
crank out 6.4 million oz. silver and
51 million lb. copper over a 15-year
mine life. Based on US$15 per oz.
silver and US$2.50 per lb. copper,
the mine would feature a US$229million pre-tax net present value at
a 5% discount rate and an 11.5%
internal rate of return.
“Part of the evaluation at Montanore is completing the additional
drift necessary to get down into the
orebody,” Russell said.
After more metallurgical and
geotechnical testing, Hecla will
update the mine plan and feasibility
study, he said.
Down the road, Hecla acquired
Rock Creek in early 2015 for US$20
million by buying junior Revett
Mining.
Hecla wrapped up the public
comment period on its draft EIS at
Rock Creek during the first quarter,
and hopes the U.S. Forest Service
will issue the final supplemental
EIS and draft record of decision
within the next year.
Rock Creek has had a few social
licence issues, namely court challenges from regional environmental
groups concerned the mine could
harm the local water supply, and
fish and bear populations.
“We have really good relationships
with the agencies and communities
in and around Rock Creek. Montanore is a similar situation for us,
so having the two projects together
under one owner provides oppor-

tunity for consistency that could
help streamline the permit process
moving forward,” Russell said.
“These are two long-life assets
that fit our profile. We’re looking
at Hecla’s next 100 years, and see
these as two great potential assets.”
Rock Creek has inferred resources
of 229 million oz. silver and 2 billion lb. copper, within 124.3 million
tonnes of 51.9 grams silver and
0.7% copper.
Hecla estimates an underground
room-and-pillar mine at Rock Creek
could produce 6 million oz. silver
and 50 million lb. copper annually
over a 35-year mine life.
But next up for Hecla at Rock
Creek is an evaluation phase that
would involve digging a 1,900-metre decline to access the orebody,
which could take up to 36 months
to complete.
Hecla shares have traded in a 52week range of US$1.45 to US$4.73,
and closed at US$3.93 per share at
press time. The company has 384
million shares outstanding for a
$1.5-billion market capitalization.
Mines Management shares have
traded in a range of US11¢ to US91¢
over the past year, and last closed
at US87¢ per share. The company
has 31.6 million shares outstanding for a US$27-million market
capitalization. TNM

women in the country to stop using hairdryers to save electricity, as
droughts hamper hydroelectric power generation.
Most companies still active in country have halted or curtailed
production, with even Coca-Cola having stopped producing its iconic
drink owing to sugar shortages caused in part by the government’s
inability to pay for fertilizer imports.
As a symptom of the lousy business environment Venezuela offers
these days, two of the world’s top airlines — Latam Airlines (Latin
America’s biggest carrier) and Germany’s Lufthansa — are cancelling
or indefinitely suspending flights to the country. Two months ago,
American Airlines (the top North American airline serving Latin
America) scrapped its New York–Caracas route only three months
after reinstating it.
And it’s not just because of the dwindling volume of passengers.
Reuters reports that Lufthansa has had difficulty repatriating profits
from Venezuela due to onerous currency-exchange controls, and is
owed at least US$100 million by the Venezuelan government, and
that the International Air Transport Association has been lobbying
the Venezuelan government to free all trapped airline revenue, which
likely amounts to billions of U.S. dollars.
Even with the recent rise in oil prices back to the US$50-per-barrel
range, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates Venezuela’s
economy will contract by 8% in 2016, after having already contracted
5.7% in 2015, with an inflation rate expected to surge to almost 500%
this year.
Despite its enormous mineral endowment — especially gold in
the southeast — the Venezuelan government decisively turned its
back on foreign miners’ investment in 2008, when president Hugo
Chavez, who died in 2013, started talking about nationalizing
gold and cement assets in the country, and strengthened ties with
China, Iran and Russia. Top miners such as Hecla Mining and
Gold Fields quietly packed up and left the country for good, and
potential gold mega-projects such as Las Cristinas and Brisas
have f loundered due to domestic politics, more than the projects’
technical deficiencies.
With its more mixed and free-market economy, Colombia is
faring better. The IMF sees the country’s growth easing to 2.5% in
2016 from 3.1% in 2015 due to low oil prices, as well as tightening
macroeconomic policies and financial conditions.
Colombia’s export numbers from the minerals sector has
benefitted from years of output from large coal and nickel mines,
complemented by smaller-scale gold and emerald output, even if new
gold-mine development in the country is hampered by bureaucratic,
political, security and social-licence issues.
The IMF describes Ecuador’s outlook as “highly uncertain,” and
says it depends on the availability of external financing. Under the
IMF’s baseline scenario, Ecuador’s economy is expected to contract
this year by 4.5%, due to “lower oil prices, a loss of competitiveness
on the back of an appreciating dollar, fiscal consolidation and tight
financing conditions.”
Ecuador is not a traditional mining nation and has had chaotic
experiences in decades past with artisanal miners, such as at Nambija
in the south.
But nonetheless the Ecuadorian government has renewed efforts
over the past couple of years to woo foreign miners back to the
country — with real progress seen such as the restart of development
of the spectacular Fruta del Norte gold deposit, now under the
direction of Lundin Gold. TNM

orthwest B.C. is a land of
abundance and beauty.
Teeming with wildlife,
the mountains, rivers and valleys
are also home to the Tahltan First
Nation. Riches below the surface
have inspired miners to call the
region the “Golden Triangle.”
This landscape is the focus
for Nettie Wild’s documentary
KONELĪNE: Our land beautiful.
The film-maker points a lens at the
people who live and pass through
this remarkable land, capturing the intersection of natural
beauty, development and a native
homeland.
tailings spill in mid-2014.
Lacking overt narration or a
heavy-handed agenda, the film,
which was shot over a full year,
delivers some truly fascinating
scenes.
The camera follows a pair of
Tahltan hunters in the autumn
as they stalk, shoot and butcher
a moose. Another segment sees
a guide outfitter ferry 17 horses,
one by one, across the f lowing
Stikine River.
The region’s natural beauty is in
full view, with breathtaking wide
shots, but Wild also finds beauty
in unexpected places, artfully
capturing diamond drillers pulling up core at Pretium Resources’
Brucejack gold project.
“THERE ARE JUST
SO MANY FILMS
OUT THERE WITH
PEOPLE TELLING
OTHER PEOPLE
WHAT TO THINK.”
NETTIE WILD
DIRECTOR, WRITER, CO-PRODUCER,
KONELĪNE: OUR LAND BEAUTIFUL
Konelīne (pronounced koe-nelee-neh) is a Tahltan world that
means “our land beautiful.” Wild
says the one thing everyone in the
region shares — from Tahltan
elders to prospectors — is a love
of the land.
Mineral development in the area
can quickly turn controversial, as
locals, developers, government
and non-governmental organizations enter the mix. Wild captures
these tensions over development
while trying to stay above the
fray by focusing on the people in
the region.
“There are just so many films
out there with people telling other
people what to think,” Wild said in
a phone interview from her home
in Vancouver. “This film is not in
my voice.”
Viewers meet Tahltan members who are employed by the
development industry, as well
as those opposed to and unsure
about it. The film also documents
the Tahltan blockade at Imperial
Metals’ Red Chris project (now
a mine), as fears spiked in the
aftermath of the Mount Polley
In one of the film’s most gripping scenes, a helicopter delivers
a power transmission tower to a
crew that struggles to secure it to
the ground. Shot in slow motion
as the helicopter hovers overhead,
Wild calls it an “extraordinary
choreographed dance, with linemen, the biggest helicopter in the
world and a 16,000 lb. tower.”
She hopes the documentary will
challenge stereotypes and stop
people on all sides from “writing
off” those with differing opinions
about development, environmentalism and aboriginal issues.
“My role as a film-maker was to
go up there and listen really hard
to the people in the North. And
then, as best as I could, ref lect
the poetry of their lives and their
voices.”
Wild inherited a love of the bush
from her grandfather, a doctor
who caught the mining bug and
came to own a tungsten mine near
Revelstoke. “The only thing he
loved more than fishing and being
in the bush was chasing anything
that glittered in rock,” she said. The
mine never amounted to much,

Centerra appeals
Kumtor fines
KYRGYZSTAN | Gold miner faces
more than US$320M in fines
BY SALMA TARIKH
C
[email protected]
enterra Gold’s (TSX: CG)
subsidiary has been fined
US$98 million for environmental damages at the Kumtor gold
mine, and faces another US$225
million in environmental fines, all
of which the firm intends to appeal.
On May 25, the Bishkek interdistrict court in Kyrgyzstan ruled
that the Kumtor Operating Company (KOC) would have to pay a
US$98.4-million environmental
fine for Kumtor’s waste rock. The
ruling follows a claim that the state
inspectorate office for environmental
and technical safety (SIETS) — filed
along with others in 2012 — alleging
that the company should pay tariffs
for placing waste rock on Kumtor’s
waste dumps. The tariffs normally
apply to industrial or domestic waste.
“The agency is interpreting that
the waste rock should have a fee …
but you see our 2009 [investment]
agreements outline a complete set
of taxes, fees and other charges applicable to the Kumtor project. So we
have been arguing that the waste rock
is covered under our mine plan and
shouldn’t be subjected to this tariff,”
the firm’s vice-president of investor
relations John Pearson explains.
“We are obviously appealing that.”
Centerra is also appealing a May
24 inter-district court ruling against
its subsidiary in another SIETS
claim alleging unrecorded wastes
from Kumtor’s effluent and sewage treatment plants, amounting
to US$10,000 in damages.
The company intends to appeal
both decisions to the Bishkek city
court, and if required, to Kyrgyzstan’s Supreme Court. On May 30,
it delivered a notice of arbitration
to the government regarding other
ongoing disputes at Kumtor.
The inter-district court is set to
hear two more SIETS claims that
charge KOC has caused land damage and failed to pay for water use.
The two claims total US$5 million.
In addition, KOC faces a US$220million claim made by the state
agency for environment and forestry
protection (SAEPF) for alleged en-
vironmental pollution, which was
filed in 2013.
Court hearints on the SIETS and
SAEPF claims have been postponed
to May 31 and June 3.
Pearson says Centerra has dealt
with the two environmental agencies
in court for some time.
“As we stated before, we dispute
the allegations in their claims and
consider the claims to be without
merit. So they will be automatically
appealed.”
Meanwhile, Centerra is working
with the government to resolve other
matters surrounding its sole producing mine, including a criminal case
by the general prosecutor’s office
(GPO) and outstanding approvals
for its annual mine plan.
The GPO alleges the company’s
Kumtor Gold Co. subsidiary made
a financial violation by paying a
US$200-million, inter-corporate
dividend to Centerra in 2013.
In late April, the GOP and other
officers raided Kumtor Gold’s Bishkek offices to collect documents
related to the dispute.
“There was nothing illegal done,”
Pearson says. “It was an inter-corporate dividend. It’s done all the
time. It was done within Kyrgyz law,
business law and within corporate
governance rules.”
In a separate matter, Centerra
cautions that if it does not receive
the outstanding permits and approvals for its 2016 mine plan by
the end of June, it will have to shut
down operations on July 1.
Historically the annual permits
have been “somewhat delayed,” but
Centerra has “always received them,”
Pearson says.
BMO analyst Andrew Breichmanas notes that Kumtor has operated
since 1997, producing more than 10
million oz. gold and paying over
US$1 billion to the country’s budget
and social fund.
“Given the importance of the
mine to the country’s economy …
sustaining operations would appear
to be a priority,” he writes.
Despite the outstanding matters,
Kumtor is on track to meet its 2016
production guidance of 480,000 to
530,000 oz. gold, Pearson says. TNM

but “as a kid growing up, I had this
mythology of what we referred to
as ‘the family mine.’
Getting access to film the various
regional actors was a challenge,
Wild says. Resistance initially came
from all sides and threatened to
kill the project.
It was Hy-Tech Drilling founder
and chairman Harvey Tremblay
who first granted filming access,
which snowballed into a wider acceptance from people in the region.
Tremblay admits he was taken
aback when he had to sign a document granting full access and independence for the film-maker.
But he said doing so helped ensure the film accurately showed
what his drillers do. “We do good
1 2 3 4 5 11 13 14 16_Jun6_Main .indd 5
work and I feel good about the
way we do our work,” he said in
an interview.
“If nobody participates, they’ll
make up our part,” he said. “We’re
going to be a player in [the film]
whether we participate or not.”
Tremblay said the industry
should be more transparent about
what it does and why, and that
informing people about the mining industry will help the public
understand its importance. “We
should be proud in the mining industry of what we do. We shouldn’t
hide what we do — that does us a
disfavour.”
Tremblay watched the documentary at its opening in Whitehorse
and is pleased with the finished
product. He praises Wild for her
“balanced hand,” which he believes
will promote conversation between
concerned groups. “It’s a beautiful
film. She did a great job of bringing real poetry to the land. It’s an
absolutely stunning, visual movie.”
Tremblay isn’t the only one who
was impressed. In May, KONELĪNE
won the Best Canadian Feature
Documentary Award in May at the
Hot Docs 2016 Festival in Toronto.
The film will play in Toronto
from June 10 to 16, and in major
cities and mining towns across
Canada this year.

The Bank of Canada kept its target for the
overnight lending rate at 0.5% and estimated
that the wildfires in Alberta would knock
1.25 percentage points from real gross domestic product in the three months ended
June 30. Canada’s benchmark stock exchange
advanced 1.3% to finish at 14,105.23, while
the S&P/TSX Capped Diversified Metals &

gold fell 3.1% to US$1,212.80 per oz., and
the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index dropped
7.96% to 204.37.
Suncor Energy announced that there
had been no damage to its assets from the
Alberta blaze and that it had remobilized its
employees to support the staged restart of
its operations in the Regional Municipality
of Wood Buffalo. Suncor also said it was
ramping up construction at its Fort Hills

Corporation. Great Thunder will pay Globex
$60,000 over six months and deliver 2.4 million shares. Globex receives a 2% gross metal
royalty on all production from the properties
and an underlying 1% net smelter return
royalty. Separately, Globex also acquired 11
new lithium exploration projects.
A bid for Mines Management by U.S.listed silver miner Hecla Mining sent Mines
Management up 35% to $1.12 per share.
Under the deal, each outstanding share of
Mines Management will be exchanged for
0.2218 of a Hecla share. The offer is a 41%
premium using both companies’ 10-day,

Kazakhstan. Cameco owns 60% of the JV
and Kazatomprom owns the rest. Under the
agreement, the JV could ramp up production
to 10.4 million lb. uranium oxide (U3O8) per
year, which is up from 5.2 million lb. U3O8.
Subject to adjustments, Cameco’s ownership
would change to 40% and Kazatomprom’s

a feasibility study on building a uranium
refinery in Kazakhstan capable of producing 6,000 tonnes of uranium per year, as
uranium trioxide. Kazatomprom will also
have the option to obtain UF6 conversion
services at Cameco’s Port Hope facility for 10
years. Depending on Cameco’s commercial
support, Cameco’s interest in JV Inkai may
be increased to 44% and its ownership stake
in the refinery would also be adjusted from

over the trading period.
Spot gold hit a three-month low, falling
3.2%, or US$39.60, to US$1,212.38 per oz.
gold, while stronger oil prices boosted threemonth London Metal Exchange copper contracts, rising US$78 per tonne, or 1.7%, to a

American Lithium led the value-added
category, gaining 24¢ to a $1.27-per-share
close, after an all-share deal to acquire a
privately held company and its Colorado
and San Emidio lithium brine joint-venture
projects in Nevada. The B.C.-based explorer
will acquire the private company in exchange
for 6 million shares.
The Colorado project increases American
Lithium’s land position to a contiguous 74.9
sq. km in Esmeralda County’s Fish Lake
Valley, whereas the San Emidio project, 100
km northeast of Reno, brings the company’s
total land holdings in Nevada to 84.1 sq. km.
Previous explorers on the San Emidio
target defined a lithium-in-brine anomaly
1 km wide and more than 5 km long, with
concentrations ranging from trace up to 23.7
milligrams of lithium per litre at 24 to 39
metres deep from sample wells.
Alset Energy saw 27.8 million shares traded
before closing up 23¢ to 36¢-per-share on
news of initial sampling results at its Wisa
Lake spodumene lithium project, 80 km east

The company reported grab samples of 1.4%
and 0.95% lithium oxide from the project’s
North zone. Samples collected 900 metres
south and parallel to the North zone returned
1.75%, 1.47% and 1.45% lithium oxide. The
property hosts a historic resource of 330,000
tonnes grading 1.15% lithium oxide.
Alset also identified multiple conductive
zones associated with flake graphite on its
newly acquired Champion graphite project,
north of Kenora, Ont. Several 1-metre-deep
holes dug over 1.3 km on the property graded
1.7% to 9% carbon.

6¢, or 150%, to a 15¢-per-share close after
announcing intentions to option the Chubb
and Bouvier spodumene lithium properties
near Val-d’Or, Que.
Great Thunder must pay $60,000 to a vendor
over the next six months to exercise the option, along with 2.4 million shares and a 2%
gross metal royalty. The company will also
grant a finder’s fee equal to 7% of the option’s
number of issuable shares.
Nemaska Lithium closed up 14¢ to
$1.75-per-share after receiving the first $5-million tranche from Ressources Québec — a
subsidiary of provincial government-owned
Investissement Québec.
The company will receive the remaining
$5-million balance after meeting construction milestones. TNM

U.S. MARKETS / MAY 23–27
U.S. indexes gained ahead of the Memorial
Day weekend, after U.S. Federal Reserve Chair
Janet Yellen hinted at a possible interest rate
hike in the coming months.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced
2.1% to 17,873.22, and the S&P 500 Index rose
2.3% to 2,099.06 — the best performance for
both since March. The Nasdaq Composite
climbed 3.4% to 4,933.50, in its best week
since February. The July contract for crude oil
hit an intraday high of US$50.21 per barrel,
before closing at US$49.33 — a 1.3% weekly
gain. The July contract for Brent crude also
popped above US$50 per barrel to US$49.32.
Pittsburgh-based natural gas producer
Consol Energy rose 12.8%, or US$1.68 per
share, to close at US$14.85, on no new news. In
late April, it reported a first-quarter adjusted
net loss attributable to continuing operations
of US$16 million, or US7¢ per share. This
compares to last year’s adjusted net income of
US$85 million, or US37¢ per share. On April
1, Consol closed the US$420-million sale of
its Buchanan mine and other metallurgical
coal assets to Coronado IV LLC.
Hecla Mining shares slipped US33¢ to
US$3.91 on 43.2 million shares traded, after
6_JUN6_MarketNews.indd 6
announcing a US$37-million, all-share acquisition of Mines Management for its large
Montanore silver-copper deposit in northwest
Montana. Hecla is offering 0.2218 of its share
for each Mines Management share held. The
transaction should close in the third quarter.
Gold companies saw the biggest value
drop, as spot gold fell US$39.10, or 3.1%, to
US$1,212.80 per ounce. Franco Nevada led the
value losers, dropping US$2.71 to US$62.81
per share. Shares in Agnico Eagle Mines and
Newmont Mining retreated US$2.04 and
US$1.77 to finish at US$44.14 and US$31.96,
both on no news.

the strike to affect expansion.
Seabridge Gold gave back US$1.12 per share
to finish at US$12.03, after outlining its 2016

Golden Predator attracts heavy hitters
GOLDEN PREDATOR From 1
at FCMI Parent Co. had bought 4
million shares and 4 million warrants as part of a larger $4.3-million
private placement of 27 million
units priced at 16¢ apiece, with
each unit comprised of a share and
a warrant entitling the holder to
buy another share for 21¢ within
two years..a
It gives Friedberg 6% of the junior
exploration company’s shares, or a
fu11y diluted 11.3%.
News of the financing sent Golden
Predator’s shares rocketing 47%
to 63¢.
“Friedberg typically doesn’t invest
in companies with small market
caps, so we’re honoured to have
gained his attention,” Golden Predator’s chairman William Sheriff says.
Friedberg wasn’t the only big
name to come into the financing,
however. Mining mogul Rob McEwen’s McEwen Mining (TSX: MUX;
NYSE: MUX) also took part, taking slightly over 3 million shares
and an equal number of warrants,
giving the mining company a 4.7%
stake, or 8.95% upon exercise of
the warrants.
Pat DiCapo, a founder of Torontobased merchant bank PowerOne
Capital Markets Ltd., took part,
and now owns 3.5 million shares
and 4 million warrants for a 5.3%
interest, or a fully diluted 10.6%,
while PowerOneCapital acquired
ownership and control of 1.27 million broker warrants.
“Friedberg, McEwen and DiCapo
will really help us advance our two
premier projects in the Yukon,”
Sheriff says. (Sheriff himself took the
opportunity to increase his personal

MCEWEN AND
DICAPO WILL
REALLY HELP US
ADVANCE OUR TWO
PREMIER PROJECTS
IN THE YUKON.”

CHAIRMAN, GOLDEN PREDATOR
stake in the junior’s common shares,
adding 1.9 million units for 17.5%.)
“We think we’ve got some pretty
exciting properties,” says Sheriff,
who is no stranger to successful
projects, having cofounded Energy
Metals Corp., which was acquired
by Uranium One (TSX: UUU) in
2008 for $1.8 billion.
Golden Predator’s flagship asset
is 3 Aces, an orogenic gold deposit
in the southeastern Yukon, 160 km
north of Watson Lake. The highgrade discovery is located along the
all-season Nahanni Range Road,
which leads to the Cantung tungsten
mine, 40 km north.
Since 2010, the junior has drilled
11,400 metres — mainly on the
Main and Sleeping Giant zones —
and conducted airborne and ground
geophysics, stream sediment and
soil sampling, as well as prospecting
and geological mapping.
Exploration results include
highlights such as drill hole 3A10-1, which intersected 30.3 metres
grading 4.3 grams gold per tonne
from 49 metres deep, and drill
hole 3A-10-2, which returned 10.9
metres of 14.8 grams gold from 25

metres deep.
High-grade mineralized shoots
are seen in outcrops, and the company has grab samples of up to 4,820
grams gold per tonne, with multiple
specimens over 1,000 grams per
tonne from the deposit’s Main and
Sleeping Giant zones. Channel
samples include 5.2 metres of 448
grams gold per tonne.
Golden Predator has identified
extensive gold anomalies over 9
sq. km, and Sheriff and his team
are confident there is potential for
more discoveries on the 225 sq.
km property.
“An anomaly of that size certainly
indicates an opportunity to find a
number of quartz veins, and we
view this as a district-size potential
opportunity,” he says. “Given the
large anomaly that we know of in the
soils, coupled with an even larger
area with these untested streamsediment anomalies, it’s virtually
virgin territory, with these gold
quartz veins outcropping.”
“Saying it’s just the tip of the
iceberg is not a good analogy,” he
continues. “It’s better than that.
We’ve looked at maybe 1% of the
property in any sort of detail, so
it’s in its infancy, and the results
so far have been nothing short of
spectacular.”
Golden Predator has just completed a 680-tonne bulk sample of
high-grade gold-quartz veining at
3 Aces, and is awaiting results. The
sample, taken from the Sleeping
Giant vein, was originally intended
to be 500 tonnes, but the company’s
geologists are expanding the program, after noting vein continuity
and visible gold within the quartz
vein’s down-dip continuation.
“We had to cut if off somewhere,
but there was still visible gold when
we left, so the mineralization continues,” Sheriff says of the bulk-
sampling.
“We are early at 3 Aces and the
evidence we are finding is encouraging, which makes it an awfully
exciting project.”
Golden Predator also owns Brewery Creek, a past-producing, heap
leach gold mine that operated from
1996 to 2002, when it closed during
low gold prices.
The company completed a preliminary economic assessment on
the project in the fourth quarter of
2014, and will advance it through
feasibility and permitting.
At a base case of US$1,250 per
oz. gold, the 2014 PEA outlined a
nine-year mine life.
Since 2009, the company has
spent $30 million on drilling
100,000 metres, and increasing
indicated and inferred resources
400% and 200%.
Indicated resources stand at 17.6
million tonnes averaging 1.27 gram
gold for 719,000 contained oz. gold.
Inferred resources add 21.7 million
tonnes grading 1.18 grams gold for
825,000 contained oz. gold.
Sheriff notes that the company
has probably only explored 15% of
the Brewery Creek property, and the
company hit 80% success rates on
its exploration holes before the financial crisis and capital constraints
threw junior mining companies
like his off balance.
“Brewery Creek’s oxide resource
is a little over 1 gram gold per tonne,
so it may not have the pizzazz of the
high-grade visible gold in quartz
veins that we have at 3 Aces,” Sheriff
says. “But it is an economically
important asset, as there are few
oxide heap-leach projects remaining
in first-world jurisdictions.” TNM

TOWNS THAT THE
MINES SUPPORT.”

a phosphate project in Idaho. The
company has lost 99% of its value
since going public six years ago and
is trading at 1¢ per share.
“Phosphate prices are low, so we
can’t do anything with that one,”
Knoll says.
Among their worst experiences,
however, was Canada Lithium,
which Knoll describes as a “spectacular” failure. “It was disappointing and a failure, and we lost a lot of
money personally,” he says.
Knoll didn’t create the company,
but he was a fairly large shareholder
and joined management as interim
president in 2009. After bringing
in Peter Secker as president, Knoll
became chairman of the board, and
together they raised $250 million in
debt and equity to build the mine,
mill and a hydromet plant. Initial
capex was set at $209 million, but
it ran slightly over that before commissioning began.
The mine and mill were pretty
straightforward, though there were
some problems with having the
crusher outdoors in the winter, Knoll
says. It was the hydromet plant, however, that the company had problems
with. (Hydromet plants are used to
convert concentrate into nearly pure
lithium carbonate for batteries.) The
plant had to operate continuously
in order to function, so every time
one of its components went offline,
the whole plant would have to shut
down and it took several days to
restore production, Knoll says.
“There were many operating and
maintenance issues, probably poor
training, and especially the roaster
presented a lot of problems,” he says.
“Initially the CSA wouldn’t certify
the roaster, and when they finally
did, it broke down frequently —
all of this with a full payroll and
consultants everywhere.”
The company brought in new

management, former managers from
FMC Lithium in North Carolina,
raised more money to keep going,
but in the end just couldn’t raise any
more. Canada Lithium then merged
with a Lundin company to form RB
Energy, and their management took
over. But it encountered more of
the same problems until it ran out
of money, too.
“In the end it cost well over $300
million,” Knoll says. “The RB Energy
guys [under the leadership of Rick
Clark, who was part of the management team at Lundin Group’s Red
Back Mining Inc., which sold to
Kinross in 2010 for US$7.1 billion]
got the plant operating for a few days
and produced some remarkably good
product — better than expected.
There have only been two such plants
of this size ever built in the world,
Canada Lithium’s, and one in China,
by Galaxy, an Australian company,
which had pretty much the same
problems and was eventually sold
to a Chinese company.”
McDonald is philosophical about
the failures. “They can’t all be winners, and as for the timing — no one
has a crystal ball or the bell doesn’t
ring when you’re at the top or the
bottom of the market. It isn’t for the
faint of heart.”
Still, McDonald has no regrets.
“It’s been fantastic,” he says. “The
reason I love this business is that I’m
not smart enough to invent a new
vaccine or an app that everyone has
to buy, but you can create wealth
where there wasn’t any before. If a
mine gets built, you’ve got governments getting taxes, shareholders making money on successful
building and you’ve got all these
employees who get jobs, and locals
do all the contracting living in the
community. It’s a win-win situation.”
Knoll makes the point that every
company the pair have founded has
built a mine, which is no small feat
in an industry where only a small
fraction of projects make it into
production.
He says the thrill of success outweighs the disappointment over the
failures, and he is thankful he found
his way into the industry.
“There have been such huge ups
and downs — you need to fasten a
seatbelt sometimes,” he says. “The
downs are hard on you and hard
on your friends and family, who
are likely invested as well, hard on
the workers — and even the towns
that the mines support.
“But there is little in life comparable to having a stock go from a
few cents to $5 or $24, as it did in
the case of Thompson Creek, and
building a mine, or pulling 15 metres of core grading half an ounce
of gold,” he continues. “The people
you meet and work with are often
sheer entertainment and brilliant
as well. The travel is phenomenal,
whether you are in a mosquitoinfested tent above the treeline or
the Ritz in Paris, you go to so many
places hardly anybody ever sees. I
don’t think I could have picked a
better career than this one.”
These days, Knoll divides his time
between a home in Florida on the
Gulf of Mexico, a cottage in Muskoka, Ont., wine country north of
Kelowna, B.C., where he is building
a place, and a condo in downtown
Toronto. He and his wife bought
the condo in Toronto to be close to
family. His wife has three children
and he has two, and they all live in
the heart of the city.
He’s also channelling much of
his time and energy into reviving the fortunes of Darnley Bay, a
company in which he first became
a shareholder in 2009.
The company’s early claim to
fame was a huge gravity anomaly
in the Northwest Territories near
Paulatuk, a hamlet along the shores
of Darnley Bay in the Inuvialuit
Settlement Region. The company
was founded by Leon LaPrairie,
one of Knoll’s early acquaintances.
(It was LaPrairie who encouraged
Knoll to consider working for The
Northern Miner after he graduated
from Ryerson University’s journalism program, and after Knoll
completed an internship at the
Globe and Mail.)
Darnley Bay’s early exploration
program in the Arctic was a failure because none of the holes were
drilled deep enough to test key
targets. Knoll hopes to revive the
company and has hired Toronto
financier Jamie Levy as president
and CEO to get Darnley Bay back on
its feet by doing more work on the
anomaly, advancing the Davidson
project and looking at new acquisitions. Currently the company is
evaluating projects across Canada.
Knoll is confident that commodity
prices will turn, and when they do,
he says Davidson could become one
of the success stories of his career.
“There have been two events over
the course of history that have kickstarted the mining business into
high gear,” he says. “One thing that
can do it is a big discovery — like a
Hemlo or a Voisey’s Bay — but that’s
pretty hard to predict. The other is
an increase in commodity prices,
and that happens in cycles … it’s
imminent … within the next year
or two, I can see that happening.
“People keep buying cars and
houses and computers, and at some
point things will turn, and we want
Darnley Bay ready to turn when
they do,” he continues. “You also
need some luck on timing — there’s
no substitute for that.” TNM

Endeavour Silver to buy
Canarc's Oro Silver for $10.5M
M&A | Endeavour CEO Bradford Cooke wants to expand resources and consolidate district
BY TRISH SAYWELL
E
[email protected]
ndeavour Silver’s (TSX: EDR;
NYSE: EXK) search for development opportunities to shore
up its portfolio of three producing
silver mines in Mexico has resulted
in an agreement to acquire Oro
Silver Resources and its El Compas
gold-silver project in Zacatecas,
Mexico, in an all-share deal valued
at $10.5 million.
Oro Silver is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Canarc Resource
(TSX: CCM), a company Endeavour
Silver founder and CEO Bradford
Cooke created in 1998 focused on
exploring and developing gold prospects in the Americas. (Cooke set
up Endeavour Silver in 2003, to
acquire high-grade silver projects
in Mexico.)
A preliminary economic assessment of the permitted El Compas
project that Canarc completed in
February contemplated a sevenyear underground mine using a
local contractor to produce 18,000
equivalent oz. gold a year.
Mineralized material would be
trucked 20 km from El Compas
to the government-owned La Plata
processing plant. Canarc has already
secured a five-year renewable lease
option with the government to use
the 500-tonne-per-day plant.
The plant was built in September
2013 by the state government of
Zacatecas to process minerals from
local small miners. It last operated
in October 2014.
Endeavour says it would take
less than a year to develop the
mine and refurbish the plant at a
US$10-million capital cost. (The
refurbishment would include adding a 50-tonne-per-day-leach and
Merrill-Crowe recovery circuit to
the plant to make doré bars.) If all
went according to plan, El Compas
could be in production in 2017.
“El Compas is a high-quality —
albeit small — gold-silver mining
project,” Endeavour’s CEO Cooke
said in a telephone interview. “Canarc was quite nimble to acquire the
property cheaply and add significant value in such a short period
of time — not only in terms of
acquiring the fully permitted mine
and leasing an existing plant, but
also in re-estimating the resource,
completing a preliminary economic
assessment and hiring a general
manager. That was work well done.”
According to the PEA, payable
production over the mine’s life
would add up to 115,000 oz. gold
and 886,000 oz. silver for a total
126,000 equivalent oz. gold. Cash
costs in the study were estimated at
US$523 per equivalent oz. gold, with
all-in sustaining costs of US$614
per oz. gold.
At metal prices of US$1,100 per
equivalent oz. gold and US$14 per
oz. silver, the high-grade operation
could deliver a US$32.9-million
after-tax net present value and an
84.3% post-tax internal rate of return at a 5% discount rate.
Canarc has estimated a
552,000-tonne indicated resource
grading 6.55 grams gold per tonne
and 66.2 grams silver for 116,000 oz.
gold and 1.18 million oz. silver. Inferred resources add another 421,000
tonnes at 4.18 grams gold and 59.9
grams silver for 57,000 contained
oz. gold and 812,000 oz. silver.
“The resource is small, so Endeavour probably wouldn’t have
done this deal unless we thought
there was good exploration and
consolidation potential,” Cooke

POTENTIAL AT EL

BRADFORD COOKE
FOUNDER AND CEO,
ENDEAVOUR SILVER
said. “Endeavour Silver has deeper
management and deeper pockets
than Canarc, so it is better positioned to unfold the full potential at
El Compas, and therein lies Endeavour’s rationale for the transaction.”
Cooke points out that Zacatecas
is one of Mexico's largest historic
silver districts and that a number of
companies are active in the region,
including Capstone Mining (TSX:
CS) and its Mala Noche mine, 20 km
from El Compas, Penoles’ Francisco
Madero copper-zinc mine, 30 km
northwest, and the Fresnillo silver
mine, 50 km northwest.
“Satellite imagery shows a northwest-trending major structure that
goes from El Compas right through
the Francisco Madero mine, and
some geologists postulate it may
be responsible for the emplacement
of the volcanic rocks and two ore
deposits,” Cooke says.
The Zacatecas district is full of
historic silver mines, he adds, and
property ownership in the district
is highly fragmented. “There are
junior companies holding small
resources scattered throughout
the district, all of which are within
trucking distance of our plant,” he
continues. “If we could pick up some
of these smaller resources, we may
get production from several sources
in the district. We’d have to do deals
to get them, but we think this is an
opportunity.”
Cooke is confident that the 39.9
sq. km property itself — which hosts
multiple gold-silver veins with a
history of small scale, underground
mining from two old mine workings — offers potential for more
discoveries.
So far, exploration efforts have
focused on near-surface gold mineralization, but the company believes
there may be more mineralization
at depth in the El Compas and El
Orito veins, and near-surface in
several other prospective veins
hosted within the Mesozoic volcanic
rocks typical of the district.
“There are another dozen or so
exploration targets previously identified on the El Compas property
— early-stage targets, but with alteration or mineralization that have
never been drilled — and around
the resource there are parallel veins
that appear prospective,” Cooke
says. “There are also some areas
of the resource that need work to
upgrade them for a mine plan.”
Under the transaction with Oro
Silver, Endeavour will issue the
junior 2.2 million of its shares at
$4.89 per share (the 10-day, volumeweighted average price of Endeavour’s shares on the Toronto Stock
Exchange).
In addition, Endeavour will assume Canarc’s obligation to pay a
total 165 troy oz. gold production
to Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. Three
payments of 55 troy oz. are due in
October 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Of the 28 concessions on the land
package, 22 are subject to a 1.5% net
smelter return royalty (NSR), and
six are subject to a 3% NSR.
Endeavour says its short-term
goals at El Compas will be investing in exploration to upgrade and
expand the resource, consolidate
properties in the district to extend
the project’s mine life and refurbish the plant, and re-evaluate the
economics of developing the mine.
As for Canarc, Cooke says, the
junior turned a good profit on El
Compas. “In less than a year, Canarc
acquired the El Compas project,
did a lot of value-added work and
received five times as much as it had
invested,” he says. “Their $2-million
acquisition and development cost
netted the company a $10.5-million
return. Canarc’s enhanced treasury
allows the company to actively seek
substantial merger and acquisition
opportunities to create even more
value for our shareholders.”
Cooke says both companies will
continue to look for new acquisi-
tions.
“Endeavour Silver is focused
preferably on bigger opportunities, and that’s primarily my job,
and at Canarc, their CEO is also
working hard to build out Canarc’s
portfolio — thankfully with a much
larger treasure chest than it had
before the deal.”
Last year, Endeavour’s three
mines produced a total of 7.2 million oz. silver and 60,000 oz. gold.
Its Guanacevi mine in Durango
state, and the Bolanitos and El Cubo
mines in Guanajuato state, are all
high-grade, underground mines.
Elsewhere in Mexico, Endeavour
is advancing its high-grade Terronera project in a historic silver and
gold mining district in southwestern
Jalisco state, 155 km southwest of
Guadalajara and 40 km northeast
of the coastal resort town of Puerto
Vallarta.
Endeavour acquired an option to buy the property in 2010,
kicked off exploration drilling in
2011, discovered the Terronera mineralized zone in 2012, established
an initial resource and bought the
property in 2013, and continued
infill drilling to delineate a more
substantial resource in 2014.
In late 2014, Endeavour received
approval from the Mexican government for its environmental impact
assessment (EIA) for a 500-tonneper-day project and initiated a
prefeasibility study to assess the
potential to amend the EIA, and
build a 1,000-tonne-per-day, highgrade underground silver gold mine
at Terronera.
In May 2015, Endeavour completed a preliminary economic
assessment that outlined a 10.3year mine life and $65.4-million,
pre-production capex.
The PEA was based on the company’s October 2014 resource estimate that outlined 2.9 million
tonnes grading 211 grams silver
per tonne and 1.65 grams gold per
tonne, for contained metal of 19.9
million oz. silver and 156,000 oz.
gold (30.8 million equivalent oz.
silver) in the indicated category.
Inferred resources measured 1.2
million tonnes grading 218 grams
silver, 1.39 grams gold for 8.5 million oz. silver and 54,000 oz. gold
(12.3 million equivalent oz. silver).
Terronera displays a classic lowsulphidation epithermal vein system, and, historically, more than
50 small mines have been been
developed within at least 20 veins
in the 16 sq. km land package.
While the Terronera silver mines
were first discovered in 1542 and
have seen several periods of smallscale mining over the last 450 years,
little modern exploration was ever
carried out in the district, the company says.
The Terronera property also surrounds an underground silver-gold
mine called Santa Quiteria, which
produces 100 tonnes of ore daily. TNM

LA CORUÑA, GALICIA, SPAIN —
It has been three years since Vancouver-based Edgewater Exploration (EDW-V) bought the
Corcoesto gold project from Lundin Mining (LUN-T) and embarked upon a journey in northwesternmost Spain’s La Coruna
province, where mining history
dates back more than 4,000 years.
Now Edgewater stands poised
on the development threshold,
having pulled together a gold re-
source in excess of 1 million oz. and
putting the finishing touches on a
feasibility study slated for release
in the fourth quarter.
Corcoesto lies at the end of a leisurely drive on well-maintained
roads, 36 km southwest of the port
city of La Coruna.

B2Gold hits new
gold at developing
Otjikoto mine
By Gwen Preston
VANCOUVER — With its list of
gold mines having just climbed
from two to three following the
takeover of CGA Mining and with
a fourth mine under construction,
B2Gold (BTO-T) expects to churn
out more than half a million ounces
of gold annually by 2015. It’s a feat
that is earning the company growing praise from an industry happy
to see an acquisition-based success
story amidst so many overpriced
and failed deals.
And in its latest news B2Gold
reports its drills are hitting highgrade gold at a satellite zone at
Otjikoto — the mine under construction in Namibia — that could
well add years and ounces to the
operation.
Otjikoto sits 300 km north of the
Namibian capital of Windhoek.
The project, which B2Gold holds a
92% stake in through a partnership
with Namibian EVI Gold, is home
to 29.4 million probable tonnes of
open-pit reserves grading 1.42
grams gold per tonne. Open-pit
mine construction at Otjikoto
kicked off in January, with initial
gold production expected in late
2014.
Otjikoto’s current reserves support 112,000 oz. gold production
annually for 12 years. However,
B2Gold believes there is much
more gold to discover at the burgeoning mine. To that end, the
company has already completed 47
drill holes at the project this year.
Thirteen of those holes were collared within the planned Otjikoto
open pit to better delineate certain
ore shoots, while another six holes
were drilled to inform civil engineering studies. The other 28 holes
all probed Wolfshag, a known but
little-explored gold zone, northeast of the planned pit.
Using historic data and a few drill
See B2GoLd, Page 3
But Barrick founder and chairman Peter Munk vigorously defended Barrick’s decision at the
company’s annual general meeting
on April 24.
“I convinced the board,” he told
the standing-room-only crowd at
the Metro Toronto Convention
Centre. “If you want to give anyone hell, give it to me.”
Munk argued that the new paradigm of mounting resource nationalism requires a brand-new
approach to government contacts. And he said that the challenges of protecting the company’s assets — “90% of which, to
the tune of $40 billion, are in 23
different countries” — meant that
the company needed someone of
Thornton’s exceptional calibre
and “unique credentials,” leverage and access to some of the
world’s most important power
brokers.
“We believe that pay should be
tailored to achievements, that pay
should come after performance,”
Munk said. “It was hard to have
someone paid on performance if he
would not have been able to join to

In the last year Barrick Gold
(ABX-T, ABX-N) has announced a
multi-billion dollar overrun at its
flagship development project in
Chile, taken a $3.8-billion charge
on a highly criticized acquisition,
changed its chief executive officer
and seen its share price sliced in
half.
So it was no great surprise that
eight funds who are invested in the
gold major formally protested the
company’s decision to offer cochairman John Thornton an “unprecedented” signing bonus of
$11.9 million.
The group of seven Canadian
pension funds and one international investment fund say the
signing bonus, which would bring
Thornton’s total compensation
for 2012 to $17 million, is a Canadian record.
“This compensation is inconsistent with the governance principle of pay-for-performance
and is therefore disproportionate and sets a troubling precedent in Canadian capital markets,” the group said in a
statement. As a group these funds
collectively manage over $900
billion in assets.

Gold and Silver (PZG-T, PZG-X),
there’s a lot to be said for making
something old new again. In mid2010 the company picked up the

during its mine life. At the time

LA CORUÑA, GALICIA, SPAIN —
It has been three years since Vancouver-based Edgewater Exploration (EDW-V) bought the
Corcoesto gold project from Lundin Mining (LUN-T) and embarked upon a journey in northwesternmost Spain’s La Coruna
province, where mining history
dates back more than 4,000 years.
Now Edgewater stands poised
on the development threshold,
having pulled together a gold re-
source in excess of 1 million oz. and
putting the finishing touches on a
feasibility study slated for release
in the fourth quarter.
Corcoesto lies at the end of a leisurely drive on well-maintained
roads, 36 km southwest of the port
city of La Coruna.
The route traces alongside the

that sway on the tide.
Edgewater’s project sits around
10 km inland from any local agricultural or tourist activities,
amongst green hills bristling with
thin-trunked eucalyptus trees.
“We have excellent government
and community support,” comments vice-president exploration
Greg Smith during the drive, pointing out that a local mayoral candidate recently won with a platform

Sleeper was one of the lowest-cost

Sipping coffee inside Paramount’s headquarters in the mining town of Winnemucca, vicepresident of exploration Glen van

B2Gold hits new
gold at developing
Otjikoto mine
By Gwen Preston
VANCOUVER — With its list of
gold mines having just climbed
from two to three following the
takeover of CGA Mining and with
a fourth mine under construction,
B2Gold (BTO-T) expects to churn
out more than half a million ounces
of gold annually by 2015. It’s a feat
that is earning the company growing praise from an industry happy
to see an acquisition-based success
story amidst so many overpriced
and failed deals.
And in its latest news B2Gold
reports its drills are hitting highgrade gold at a satellite zone at
Otjikoto — the mine under construction in Namibia — that could
well add years and ounces to the
operation.
Otjikoto sits 300 km north of the
Namibian capital of Windhoek.
The project, which B2Gold holds a
92% stake in through a partnership
with Namibian EVI Gold, is home
to 29.4 million probable tonnes of
open-pit reserves grading 1.42
grams gold per tonne. Open-pit
mine construction at Otjikoto
kicked off in January, with initial
gold production expected in late
2014.
Otjikoto’s current reserves support 112,000 oz. gold production
annually for 12 years. However,
B2Gold believes there is much
more gold to discover at the burgeoning mine. To that end, the
company has already completed 47
drill holes at the project this year.
Thirteen of those holes were collared within the planned Otjikoto
open pit to better delineate certain
ore shoots, while another six holes
were drilled to inform civil engineering studies. The other 28 holes

both fell 13%.
The mill, however, processed a
record 209,188 tonnes in the first
quarter and remains above design
recoveries, with recoveries averaging
89% zinc, 88% lead and 76% silver.
Quarterly sales totalled 23.3 million equivalent lb. zinc — up nearly
4% from a year ago — and generated
US$20 million in revenue, which
is relatively in line with the first
quarter of 2015. The higher sales
were offset by lower average realized
metal prices of US82¢ per lb. zinc,
US82¢ per lb. lead and US$15.32
per oz. silver.
Despite the lower year-to-year
prices, site cash costs fell 28% to
US28¢ per zinc equivalent lb. zinc.
Cash costs per tonne milled dropped
34% year-over-year to US$32.22,
due to higher zinc production and
the company’s “site-wide business
initiatives.”
Cost per tonne milled is down
17% from the previous quarter’s
US$38.70, and below 2016’s cost
guidance of US$40 to US$43. Trevali
has trimmed its annual guidance
12%, or US$5 per tonne to US$35­
to US$38.
“Following the impressive cost
reductions, in part aided by a 60%
decrease in power costs and improved pricing on bulk fuel, Trevali
has reduced its yearly on-site cost
guidance,” Terentiew writes.
Meanwhile, Trevali is completing
a 3,000-metre underground drill
program at Santander to convert its
inferred tonnes to a higher resource
category and to follow up on the
2015 holes that tested the deeper
levels below the defined resources
in the Magistral zones.
At the Caribou operation, underground production for the first
four months of 2016 averaged 2,062
tonnes per day grading 6% zinc, 2.8%
lead and 2.4 oz. silver per tonne (74.6
grams per tonne). The firm intends
to ramp up Trevali to commercial
production of 2,500 to 2,700 tonnes
per day by the end of June.
It also aims to bring up recoveries to design levels of 84% zinc and
65% lead. The average recoveries for
April were 74% zinc and 57% lead.
Trevali reported net earnings of
$827,000, or nil per share, in the
first quarter, which is relatively in
line with analysts’ average earnings estimate of a cent per share.
Santander generated a $4.2-million
income, helping push up the company’s cash position to nearly $27
million. Trevali also completed a
$15-million equity raise in March.
Terentiew has bumped up his
90¢-per-share target to 95¢, “as
lower cost assumptions at Santander
more than offset our lower steadystate zinc recoveries at Caribou,”
he explains. The analyst has an
“outperform” rating on Trevali. TNM

ocus Ventures (TSXV: FCV)
has updated a prefeasibility
study at its Bayovar 12 phosphate property, 70 km south of the
city of Piura, Peru. It envisages a a
US$168-million development that
could produce 1 million tonnes of
fertilizer product annually over
a 20-year life, and hopefully tap
into South Americas's the growing
direct-application fertilizer market.
The Bayovar phosphate deposit is a
40-metre thick, laterally continuous and shallow mineralized zone
overlain by 30 metres of overburden.
Since the material in the proposed
open pit is all “free-digging,” it
would not likely not require drilling
or blasting during mining.
Mineralized material would be
mined at a rate of 8,000 tonnes per
day from 13 sedimentary phosphate
beds, interlayered with diatomite
waste, or “interburden.” Bayovar
hosts “proven and probable reserves”
of 59 million tonnes grading 12.9%
phosphate (P 2O5), and indicated
resources of 210 million tonnes
averaging 13% P2O5.
Focus’ beneficiation process
would involve drum-washing with
seawater and recycled process water,
size classification, attrition scrubbing, hydraulic classification, filtering and rotary drying. The process
plant is designed to produce, on a
batch basis, either a 24% or 28%
P2O5 direct-application phosphate
rock fertilizer (DAPR).
“The mine plan was simplified so
that we would start operations in
the south of the deposit, and move
progressively northward,” president
and CEO David Cass said during a
conference call.
“Higher investment in pre-stripping allows us to access all of the
phosphate beds sooner and reach
production capacity by year two.
In addition, instead of having two
smaller processing plants, we’re
now looking at a single, larger facility, which equates to more upfront
capital, but reduces overall operating
costs,” he added.
Geologists sample outcrops at the Bayovar 12 phosphate project in Peru. FOCUS VENTURES
Bayovar’s capital expenses have
jumped 32%, compared to previous
studies, but the upfront investment
has been offset by improved economics. The project now features a
26.4% internal rate of return, and
the after-tax net present value has
risen 81% to US$458 million at a 7.5%
discount rate. Focus estimates that it
can now produce DAPR products at
cash margins of US$105 per tonne.
The company achieved the economic improvements without altering its underlying phosphate
price decks. In 2015, exports of
comparable phosphate material
yielded prices from US$124 to $163
per tonne.
Since the sedimentary phosphate
deposit wouldn't require a starter pit,
the compnay says capital payback depends on hitting nameplate process
capacity and keeping “low operating
costs” early in the mine’s life.
Bayovar’s reactive phosphate rock
looks a bit like fine-grained sand,
and is made up of brownish particles
of natural phosphorus minerals
— mainly the calcium phosphate
mineral apatite — that can be applied
directly to pasture or crops. It can
also be upgraded to a concentrate
by washing and flotation for use in
making phosphoric acid.
“Although the mine schedule is
limited to 20 years, resources exist
outside the mine-plan pit, so there
is an opportunity for expansion of
resources and reserves,” Cass noted.
Focus Ventures shares have traded
in a 52-week range of 5¢ to 24¢, and
closed up 26% at 9¢ per share upon
release of the updated study. The
company had 120 million shares
outstanding for a $13-million market
capitalization at press time, and
reported cash resources of $820,000
at the end of February.
Focus said discussions are underway with “several financial institutions” to fund bulk-sampling and a
feasibility study.
“We’re located in an established
mining region close to a port, and
within easy shipping distance of one
of the world’s fastest-growing fertilizer markets,” Cass said. “Bayovar
rock is arguably the most reactive
phosphate rock in the world, which
makes it ideal for use as directapplication fertilizer in tropical
environments.” TNM
