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.

  • (“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).

    TJk< Varsity Outdoor Club Journal VOLUME XXII 1979 ISSN 0524-5613 7Ae Wiiveuitj of ThitUh Cotumka Vancouver, Canada PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Paul Hooper March 1980 Having been used to the Canadian Shield wilderness of Ontario and to skiing on a 200 foot mountain of garbage by Toronto International Airport, I was somewhat stunned by B.C.. The first few weeks of my university life were spent with awe as I stumbled around campus observing the benign beauty of the local hills. No longer would I have to drive for three hours to see a good expanse of uninterrupted vegetation or dodge rusty refrigerators while skiing on the garbage hill. I motivated myself to explore these new lands and since then I've seen most parts of the province. The V.O.C. was a motivating force for me ever since the beginning. I was impressed with the organized meetings and started to enjoy the companionship. I soon realized university was more than a place for pushing pencils. The largest push came when I worked for a summer initiating the construction of the Howe Sound Crest Trail under V.O.C. sponsership. The trail crew had more fun than work and a close tie with the V.O.C. resulted. My first minor exploration involved only day hikes with the V.O.C. By the end of the first year, I was tramping around Sphinx Camp with a day pack complete with garbage bag, accessories and a duck hunter sleeping bag. My equipment has changed but the nickname of Colonel Trashbag hasn't.
