O3 Mining Completes Pre-Feasibility Study For Marban Engineering with Post-Tax NPV of C$463 Million, Unlevered IRR of 23.2% And Annual Production Of Over 160Koz Gold

 

TSXV:OIII | OTCQX:OIIIF – O3 Mining

TORONTO, Sept. 6, 2022 /CNW/ – O3 Mining Inc. (TSX.V: OIII) (OTCQX: OIIIF) (“O3 Mining” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”), prepared in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), for its 100% owned Marban Engineering gold project, in the world-class mining region of Val-d’Or in Québec, Canada.

All figures are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

.

PFS Highlights

  • Robust Project Economics: Post-tax net present value (“NPV”) (discount rate 5%) of C$463 million and post-tax unlevered internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 23.2% using a long-term gold price of US$1,700 per ounce and an exchange rate of C$1.00 = US$0.77.
  • Increased production profile: Annual average production increased from 115,000 ounces of gold (“oz Au”) in the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) to 161,000 oz Au supported by a 50% increase in mill throughput, 15% increase in peak mine rate, lower cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t Au compared to 0.35 g/t Au in the PEA, lower strip ratio of 5.1 and increased mill gold recovery.
  • Low capital intensity: Initial capital (“CAPEX”) of C$435 million including mine preproduction, processing, and infrastructure (roads, power distribution, tailings facility, ancillary buildings, and water management). Capital intensity ratio (“NPV/CAPEX”) of 1.1x per dollar invested.
  • Competitive cost profile and rapid payback: All-in-Sustaining Cost (“AISC”) of US$882 per ounce, a post-tax payback of 3.5 years, with C$1,971 million EBITDA and C$760 million post-tax free cash flow over the life of mine (“LOM”).
  • Optimization and exploration upside towards Feasibility Study in 2023: Well-funded to perform trade-off studies assessing new technologies including autonomous haulage and trolley assist mine fleet that may impact project economics and reduce environmental footprint. Additionally, O3 Mining will continue with a brownfield exploration program on Marban Engineering including the expansion of all lateral extensions of the near-surface mineralization, unlock the potential in the Hygrade Fold area (North-West of Kierens pit) as well as the downdip extension of the Marban deposit.

.

.

Jose Vizquerra, President and CEO, states: 

“We are pleased with the results of our PFS for the Marban Engineering Project which demonstrates the potential to be the next gold producer in the Abitibi region in Val-d’Or, Quebec, the next step in delivering on our promise to be in production by 2026.

 

“With robust economics, Marban has shown itself to be a profitable standalone project.

 

“Using a long-term gold price of US$1,700 oz gold, the project has a post-tax unlevered IRR of 23.2% well above the 15% IRR investment threshold used by many larger gold miners, and a post-tax NPV of C$463M as well as an NPV/CAPEX ratio of 1.1x, with an AISC of US$882 per ounce.

 

“This is a key achievement in an inflationary environment in which mining companies are seeing higher cost increases.

 

“The project has an improved production profile of over 160,000 oz Au annually, for an approximately 10-year life of mine compared with our 2020 PEA.

 

“We believe the opportunity to grow Marban remains high, with many mineralized zones not included in the Mineral Resource Estimate, which could add to the LOM, and further improve Marban’s economics.

 

“Current drilling at the Hygrade Fold area (North-west of Kierens pit) has the potential to add to the current resource within the greater Marban Engineering Project.

 

“We have the privilege to be developing Marban in a jurisdiction that has a green-powered grid with 99.6% renewable power and that has a strong carbon policy.

 

“Compared to other jurisdictions developing gold mines, Quebec’s carbon intensity is one of the lowest in the world. Work on the feasibility-level studies has begun which we expect to complete in 2023.

 

“O3 Mining continues to deliver on all milestones and stated goals as we continue our progress towards production, and creating fundamental value with the Marban project for our shareholders and other stakeholders.”

O3 Mining Expands Mineralization Corridor At Camflo Extension, Intersecting 94 Metres at 1.1 g/t Au

TSXV:OIII  – O3 Mining

TORONTO, June 30, 2022/CNW/ –O3 Mining Inc. (TSXV: OIII) (OTCQX: OIIIF) (“O3 Mining” or the “Corporation) is pleased to announce it has received results and interpretation from its 6,338 metres drilling campaign on the Camflo Extension deposit, on the Marban Project in Val-d’Or, Quebec, Canada.

Drilling Highlights

  • 1.1 g/t Au over 94.3 metresincluding13.8 g/t Au over 1.1 metresin hole O3MA-22-253-W1.
  • 0.7 g/t Au over 116.5 metresand26.8 g/t Au over 1.0 metrein hole O3MA-21-253.
  • All holes and wedges returned large mineralized intervals within the Camflo Plug.

The Camflo deposit was first discovered in 1962 by Camflo Mines, and was in production for 30 years from 1962 to 1992.

It produced a total of1.89 million ounces of gold from 10.3 million tonnes of ore grading 5.7 g/t Au.

From this amount, 0.24 million ounces of gold were extracted within the current O3 Mining Marban project claims(Source: QERPUB-M.E.R. Publication DV93-01 Rapports des Géologues Résidents sur l’Activité Minière Régionale, 1993).

Historically, gold production was mainly restricted to the Camflo Plug, a cigar shaped quartz-monzonitic intrusion that plunges 60° towards the north-east.

Although the Camflo plug at surface is outside O3 Mining’s property claims, the extension of the plug and the mine below 800 vertical metres is within the Marban project, as it plunges toward the north-east.

Exploration efforts by O3 Mining aimed to test the depth extensions of the historic Camflo deposit, as well as test for additional high-grade zones.

A total of 6,338 metres in 2 drill holes and 3 wedges were drilled on the Camflo Extension, with results summarized in Table 1. Assay results are pending for hole O3MA-22-254-W1.

.

O3 Mining management comments

“The Camflo mine was the first mine from which Barrick Gold started its successful journey, and was stopped due to a challenging gold price environment but not due to a lack of ore.

 

“O3 Mining owns 100% of the Camflo Extension deposit which we successfully tested and verified that it remains a rich mineralized area at depth.

 

“We believe more drilling in this area will unveil its full potential, however, it demands more financial resources which we are allocating to our current brownfield drilling at Marban Engineering to maximize returns to our shareholders.”

O3 Mining President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jose Vizquerra

City Investors Circle Mining Review Sunday Update 24th April 2022

Gold dropped 2% during the week, 1% on Friday alone, as fears are growing thwt the FED is going to tighten too much too fast, and will possibly now raise rates by 2.5% before the end of 2022.

This led down the gold juniors, rolling back some of their decent gains over the last few weeks, and may just present us with an opportunity to buy some of the decent stocks on the dips. To be clear, I am referring to producing or very close to production here, not greenfield exploration companies.

Companies commented on include; Cabral Gold, Newcore Gold, O3 Mining, Silver Tiger Metals, Uranium Energy Corp., and Wesdome Gold.

General mining news

The Chilean constitutional assembly voted down a proposal from the environmental committee, seeking to tighten up rules related to the protection of the country’s natural resources, which would have hit the mining sector had they became law.

Given that Chile is the world’s largest copper producer, this is very good news, as, had the motions been passed, they would have made Chile virtually uninvestable as a jurisdiction in my view. That would, of course, have had serious implications for the EV industry and the price of copper.

Comment

This looks like a very sensible transaction and a potential win win for both companies.

Cartier can benefit by adding more resources in close proximity to Chimo, and O3 Mining benefit by maintaining an interest in a non core asset.

A tidy deal all round in my view.

City Investors Circle Mining Review Sunday Update 13th February 

The media is talking up the potential for a war in the Ukraine and an imminent Russian invasion, and that is driving gold and oil prices upwards.

Gold was up 3% week on week, and silver an impressive 5%. Naturally many gold and silver juniors had a good week as a result. Gold was helped by rising US inflation as much as Ukraine tensions

The dollar also rose on increased interest rate speculation, perm any one of many different speculations as to the number of rises rumoured throughout the media. I still insist there is a limit as to how high rates can go as their level effects government borrowing costs.

Barrick Gold reported depletion after mining of +150% in 2021, after a few years of falling reserves, a positive sign.

Chaarat Gold are experiencing hard times trying to raise the capex for their mine in the Kyrgyz Republic, due to the fact that the state have taken the Kumtor Gold Mine from Centerra Gold, who have no choice but to negotiate a settlement. 

Obviously that action has caused potential financiers to lose faith in the Kyrgyz Republic, and who can blame them?  They have acted in bad faith in my opinion, and deserve the negative publicity they have received. Sadly none of this is the fault of Chaarat’s shareholders (nor Centerra’s either for that matter), yes as always it is the shareholders who will suffer.

For this reason I am very choosy about the jurisdictions I invest in.

O3 Mining  management comments

“We are very pleased the test work has confirmed excellent gold recoveries at the Marban project.

 

“Our test work supports and improves PEA assumptions of quick leach times, strong recoveries, and a simple flowsheet comparable to peers in theAbitibi-Témiscamingue region.

 

“These results provide an excellent foundation for the project and represent a significant milestone for the company as the Marban project moves towards the completion of the PFS. Additional metallurgical work is planned that will feed into in the final stages of the economic study.”

O3 Mining President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jose Vizquerra

 

The metallurgical gold recovery test-work was conducted to assess the potential gold recoveries and optimum process flow sheet for the Marban Project. Testing started in late 2021 on composite and variability samples from the Marban and Norlartic pits and variability samples from North Zone, Norlartic-Kierens andGolden Bridge. The program included comminution testing, grind optimization, gravity concentration, and leach testing. Cyanide destruction and solid liquid separation testing are still ongoing and will be completed in Q1 2022.
