    QUILT CIRCLE2020 a Letter from the President

    THE QUILT CIRCLE2020 A Letter From the President This 2020 Quilt Circle edition commemorates the 20th Anniversary of The Quilt. The fabric of our research and education (R&E) networking community has never been stronger. While our Quilt community has evolved in new and exciting ways in the past two decades, we have also been faced with a number of challenges which we take head-on and always with the spirit of collaboration. As we address the unprecedented challenges presented by the current global public health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the work of our members is more important than ever to the missions of their member communities. U.S. higher education institutions rely on R&E networks to give them a competitive edge in the most impactful scientific research initiatives which is essential in this crisis. We connect the educational institutions that support university medical centers and their associated hospitals. R&E networks also connect tens of thousands of other community anchor institutions, including K-12 schools, public libraries, local/state government, research sites, cultural institutions, public safety, and tribal lands. Being responsive and providing vital networking infrastructure and resources right now to address immediate needs is who we are and what we do. R&E networks are part of our nation’s critical infrastructure. This year’s edition of The Quilt Circle showcases several examples of the key role of R&E network members in both providing and facilitating the use-network infrastructure to further scientific discovery and collaborations at higher education institutions of all sizes.

Copper and 36 Year Mine Life 415 Million lbs. Average Annual Copper Production For The First 10 Years $1.11/lb. Copper Average Cash Production Cost (C1) For First 10 Years TORONTO, Sep 7, 2017 - McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) is pleased to announce the results of a new Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on its 100% owned Los Azules Copper Project. The results of the 2017 PEA demonstrate that Los Azules is a robust, high margin, rapid pay-back, and long-life open pit mine at current copper, gold and silver prices. The 2017 PEA was prepared by Hatch Ltd., a global multidisciplinary management, engineering and development consultancy known for leadership in mining innovation, under the direction of Donald Brown C. P. Eng (Senior Vice President of Projects for McEwen Mining) with contributions from other industry specialists. The reforms introduced by the government of Argentina under the leadership of President Macri to encourage mining investment by eliminating taxes on exported mineral concentrates was a key factor driving the new PEA for Los Azules. “Los Azules is a giant porphyry copper deposit that offers tremendous potential to generate wealth for McEwen Mining shareowners and other stakeholders,” said Rob McEwen, Chairman and Chief Owner. “Our next steps are to advance permitting and prefeasibility/feasibility studies to move Los Azules towards production.” Los Azules is located in the San Juan Province of north-western Argentina.

CONNECT 6 ENABLE 8 SHARE 10 ADVOCATE 12 SECURE 14 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 16 CYBERA MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS 17 A YEAR IN FLUX 21 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 22 My first year as President and CEO of Cybera has certainly been disruptive, providing CONVERSATION both challenging and exciting opportunities! By now, everyone in Alberta is feeling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Combined with existing budget restrictions, WITH THE this has been one of the most difficult times ever faced by the province’s public and education sectors. I’m pleased to see the spirit of collaboration and community rise to the fore, as Alberta’s schools, post-secondary institutions, libraries, government PRESIDENT & CEO agencies, and start-ups have come together to support each other through this period. As this annual review will show, Cybera has been playing its part to facilitate these collaborations, both through offering shared services that increase efficiencies and lower costs, and through bringing groups together to exchange ideas. We now serve a wider community than ever before, having surpassed the 100-member mark this past year. Today, nearly 850,000 Albertans utilize the services Cybera provides, which created over $11 million in net savings for the public and education sectors this past year. Mindful of the important role we play in maintaining — and improving access to — digital infrastructure for such a large group, we took some time this past year to review our mission and strategy. We wanted to ensure our mandate and actions match the changing needs and priorities of our member community.

  • (“PEA”) for the Production of High- Grade Nickel Concentrate from the Turnagain Nickel Deposit

    (“PEA”) for the Production of High- Grade Nickel Concentrate from the Turnagain Nickel Deposit

    October 28, 2020 TSX.V – GIGA Giga Metals Corporation Announces Results of a Comprehensive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Production of High- grade Nickel Concentrate from the Turnagain Nickel Deposit Vancouver, B.C. – Giga Metals Corp. (TSX VENTURE: GIGA) ( “Giga Metals” or the “Company”) today announced the results of a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) for the Turnagain Nickel-Cobalt Project (“Turnagain”) located 65 km east of Dease Lake in British Columbia, Canada. The PEA is an update of the 2011 PEA confirming the ability of Turnagain to produce high-quality nickel concentrate, such as that needed to make pure nickel products for the electric vehicle (EV) market, in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The PEA has been prepared by Hatch Ltd, a global engineering company with substantial expertise in the mining sector, with input from Hatch personnel and industry expert consultants including Wood Mackenzie (nickel and cobalt markets, smelter terms), Blue Coast Metallurgy (process design), Knight Piésold (tailings and water management), Kerr Wood Leidal (power supply and costs), and Kirkham Geosystems (resource model and estimates). Giga Metals’ primary driver for this update was to deliver a reliable and comprehensive PEA incorporating all project- related components for use for discussion with strategic investors, for targeting improvement opportunities, and to serve as a base for future engineering studies. Summary The PEA indicates a long-life, large-scale project. With a projected build capital of US$1.4B (Phase 1) and US$0.5B (Phase 2) including significant investment for a powerline delivering low-cost, clean, low-carbon power from BC Hydro (mainly hydroelectric), the projected capital intensity is US$51,500 per annual tonne nickel at full rates (years 6 to 20).

    Cybera White Paper: Impact of COVID-19 on Rural Internet in Alberta, and Necessary Next Steps

    Cybera White Paper: Impact of COVID-19 On Rural Internet In Alberta, And Necessary Next Steps Cybera Inc. Calgary Office: Suite 200, 3512 - 33 St NW, Calgary, AB T2L 2A6 T: 403-210-5333 Edmonton Office: Suite 1101, 10065 Jasper Avenue NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 3B1 cybera.ca | [email protected] | @cybera ​ ​ ​ ​ Abstract In response to the growing COVID-19 pandemic, on March 16, 2020, the Government of Alberta ordered the immediate cancellation of on-site classes at schools and universities in the province. Today, 741,802 K-12 students and 194,010 post-secondary students in Alberta are learning from home, and will likely continue to do so until at least the end of current school semesters.1 2 A significant portion of the internet bandwidth used by these students (and their instructors) has now migrated from SuperNet and CyberaNet (which supply much of the internet connections to Alberta’s educational institutions), to private internet plans on residential networks. Overall, global internet traffic increased 56% in March, and has remained at above-average levels since.3 In this white paper, we will outline the scope of the problem in Alberta based on data from Cybera’s member base and the Research and Education Network usage statistics, as well as outreach conducted by Cybera with our K-12 and post-secondary community members, and Alberta’s rural internet service providers. This white paper will demonstrate that a significant portion of the province’s population are vulnerable to unaffordable overage charges and intermittent disconnections of service. We believe all levels of government must act now to mitigate the financial and social harms to Albertans.
