    KWG Resources Inc. Risk Rating: Speculative

    July 10, 2013 Equity Research Initiating Coverage KWG:TSX-V $0.055 (07/09/14) Recommendation: Speculative BUY Target Price: $0.20 KWG Resources Inc. Risk Rating: Speculative A New Technology for a New Chromite District: KWG Stock Chart The New King of the Ring? Highlights: We are initiating our coverage on KWG Resources with a $0.20 target price and Speculative BUY rating. KWG is an exploration company with interests in the highly-prospective Black Horse and Big Daddy chromite deposits in the McFaulds Lake area of the Ring of Fire ("ROF") district in northwestern Ontario. More importantly, KWG recently secured control of two provisional U.S. patent applications and underlying intellectual property for the production of chromium- iron alloys directly from chromite ores and concentrates (“the Chromium IP”), which we believe represents a potential breakthrough technology that could be the key to unlocking the ROF. The Chromium IP process uses natural gas as its energy source which compares favourably to existing ferrochrome technology that is more energy-intensive as it uses electricity as its energy source and operates at higher temperatures. We believe that KWG’s most important initiative should be advancing the commercialization of this new Chromium IP process. We believe that KWG should bring in an existing ferrochrome or integrated steel producer with a strong balance sheet as a strategic partner to more quickly advance the commercialization process. Secondly, the Company needs to rationalize its option to acquire an 80% interest in the Black Horse chromite deposit into a clear path to owning 100% in order to negotiate with potential strategic partners.

These ongoing ToR consultation activities and inputs will also feed into the development of the EA Consultation program that is outlined in draft in Section 11. 10.1 Principles of Consultation A primary objective of the EA process, including the ToR development, is to effectively communicate information about the proposed CAR, and to consult with those who may be potentially affected by or have an interest in it. MFFN is committed to creating and sustaining constructive dialogue and relationships with interested persons including MFFN community membership, neighbouring Indigenous communities, government agencies, the public, industry, non-government organizations, and local and regional stakeholders, to support the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the proposed CAR. To honour the traditional lands that the CAR is proposed to be developed on and to respect MFFN traditional teachings5, the Guiding Principles presented in Figure 10-1 will be followed throughout all Project-related consultation activities and the full EA process; from preparation of the ToR to preparation of the EA and implementation of the CAR.

For time immemorial, the Matawa First Nations have lived, travelled, hunted, trapped, fished and survived off our traditional territory, using our own governance systems and struc- tures, both within our family clan units and between neighbouring clans and families. The land is still the foundation of their culture and is deeply rooted in our healing, teach- ing and spiritual ways, however people continue to struggle and heal from the genera- IN THIS ISSUE: tions of trauma inflicted on them.

A new way of working was introduced to the Matawa communties by a ‘collaborative design’ group, Watershed Partners.

    1 Introduction

    Webequie Supply Road Environmental Assessment Draft Terms of Reference 1 Introduction The purpose of this document is to present the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Webequie First Nation Supply Road Project (“Webequie Supply Road”, “WSR”, “the Project”) to meet the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EA Act). The ToR is a document that establishes the framework for the planning and decision-making process during the Environmental Assessment (EA) and is submitted by the proponent to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) for review and approval. Alongside the ToR document, material to be submitted for the public record includes the Record of Consultation, which is a stand-alone written record that documents the engagement of and consultation with Indigenous (First Nation and Métis) communities, government agencies, the public, and stakeholders during the development of the ToR, including feedback received (comments, concerns, questions) and project team responses. The proposed Webequie Supply Road is a new all-season road of approximately 107 km in length from Webequie First Nation to the mineral deposit area near McFaulds Lake (also referred to as the Ring of Fire). A Location Plan for the Project is shown on Figure 1.1. The preliminary corridor for the road consists of a northwest-southeast segment running 51 km from Webequie First Nation to a 56 km segment running east before terminating near McFaulds Lake. A total of 17 km of the corridor is within Webequie First Nation Reserve lands. Based on the scale and complexity of the Project, and the potential for significant environmental effects, an Individual Environmental Assessment must be completed for approval under the EA Act.
