TUESDAY, MARCH 8

Aboriginal law, Indigenous frameworks and regulatory regimes: Examining the evolving landscape

Room: 717 9:00 am – 12 noon

Chair: Kenning Marchant, The Marchant Practice

Jurisprudence related to Aboriginal rights in Canada and regulatory initiatives continue to evolve over time, providing clarity in some areas while raising additional questions and ultimately contributing to shaping and reshaping the landscape of the mineral sector. Increasing dialogue related to various Indigenous frameworks such as Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) also contribute to the way in which companies and communities perceive and understand their roles in the sector. This session will examine some of the recent legal decisions, frameworks and regulatory initiatives, as well as key challenges and opportunities that arise for mineral companies and Aboriginal communities in relation to resource development.

Chair: Michael Fox, Fox High Impact Consulting

The mineral industry and Aboriginal communities continue to explore ways to develop positive relationships that translate into mutually beneficial outcomes – successful projects and long-term socio-economic development opportunities for communities. Throughout the project cycle, from mineral exploration to mine development and operations, companies and communities have identified a number of strategies for generating partnerships, building relationships and maximizing benefits. In particular, mineral projects can provide the opportunity to be involved in the sector and contribute to the socio-economic development of Aboriginal communities. These opportunities have typically involved training, education, business development, contracting and employment, community development and financial considerations. This session will include presentations and case studies that focus on Aboriginal procurement and joint venture models.

Capital Markets ProgramCanada’s capital markets play a critical role in supporting the financing of mineral exploration in Canada and around the world. As the national voice for the Canadian exploration industry, the PDAC conducts research and advocacy to ensure Canada’s capital markets remain competitive and innovative. The PDAC also advocates for Canadian jurisdictions to adopt fiscal and regulatory environments that make Canada an attractive place to explore.

The Capital Markets Program is intended to create a forum for learning and dialogue on a range of topics related to the financing of mineral exploration.

TUESDAY MARCH 8

Capital Markets Open Program: Future of mineral exploration financing

9:00 am – 4:30 pm

Room 711

The Capital Markets Program will focus on evolving structural changes to the traditional mineral finance model. Several factors are having a profound impact on how mining companies raise capital to fund exploration, including the current macroeconomic realities, changing investor demographics and capital markets regulations.

Recognizing the early signs of improving metals and mining markets: A global banker’s perspective

9:00 – 10:30 am

This year PDAC is privileged to hold a keynote session that provides a global perspective on mining finance from the major Canadian banks. The mining sector is known to go through upturns and downturns and dovetails closely with commodity price cycles and the broader macroeconomy. We are currently in a commodity downturn and forecasts indicate that the condition for an improved outlook is not imminent. How is the sector coping in this challenging financing environment and when will we see a turnaround?

Chair: John Bridges, JP Morgan

Speakers: Egizio Bianchini, BMO Capital Markets; Peter Collibee, Scotia Capital Inc.; Rick McCreary, TD Securities; David Shaver, RBC Capital Markets

Demographic shifts: How they have changed capital raising for junior mining companies

11:00 am – 12 noon

The demographic composition of traditional investors in mineral exploration is changing. Appetite for risk has waned and competing investment products with similar risk characteristics as exploration, for example, leveraged structured products, have drawn high-risk/high-reward investment elsewhere. How can mineral exploration, which depends on risk capital, adjust to the changing investor landscape?

Chair: Brian Prill, BLP Law Professional Corporation

Speakers: Rory S. Godinho, Boughton Law Corporation; Michael White, IBK Capital Corporation; Vijay Jog, Carleton University

Canadian capital markets: A new regulator and new prospectus exemptions

1:00 – 3:00 pm

This presentation is broken down into two sections. The first section is on the new securities regulator in Canada – the Capital Market Regulatory Authority – and how it will impact mining issuers as its consolidated regulations are implemented. The second section will focus specifically on two recent innovations – the Offering Memorandum prospectus exemption and the Crowdfunding regime – and how mining issuers can benefit from them.

Chairs: Jim Borland, Co-Chair PDAC Securities Committee; Brian Prill, BLP Law Professional Corporation

Capital Market Regulatory Authority Speakers: Lawrence Ritchie, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP; Denis Frawley, Ormston List Frawley LLP

An Overview of New Exemptions Speakers: Rick Whiler, Ontario Securities Commission; Maria Carelli, Ontario Securities Commission

Offering Memorandum Exemption for mining Speakers: Greg Gosson, Amec Foster Wheeler James McVicor, Dentons Canada LLP

Equity Crowdfunding for Mining Speakers: Al Wiens, Wildeboer Dellelce LLP; Chad Williams, Red Cloud Mining Capital

Financing exploration through fiscal incentives

3:30 – 4:30 pm

Several macroeconomic factors are impacting the attractiveness of investing in the mineral exploration business. Although these factors are often beyond the control of any one actor, governments have a role to play through the use of fiscal policy. As we experience a decline in the availability of risk capital from investors, there is a role of fiscal incentives in generating revenue streams that can sustain exploration in Canada through the downturn. Is the exploration sector taking full advantage of these incentives?

Chair: Tom King, KPMG LLP

Speakers: Teri Kirk, The Funding Portal; Lisa Davis, PearTree Financial; Shawn Ryan, Independent Prospector

Between 1990 and 2014, our geologists found more than 130 million ounces of gold at an average discovery cost of just $25 per ounce. In doing so, they’ve unearthed some of the most exciting gold discoveries in recent decades, including Lagunas Norte, Goldrush and Alturas.

We have just one question for them: What’s next?

Visit us at booth 2434 in the PDAC Investors Exchange and discover the answer.

Whether it’s finding new deposits or pioneering new technologies to extract gold, at Barrick we never stop pushing the boundaries of discovery.

Managing catastrophic hazards

ERM

Room 205D 3:00 – 5:00 pm

Recent high-profile catastrophic events have resulted in fatal consequences to workers, contractors and members of the community. These events can also impact the environment and livelihoods of local communities. Beyond direct physical outcomes, these events have the potential to damage stakeholder trust, generate new socio-economic challenges for affected communities, and severely influence shareholder value.

The scale of these impacts might render a mining site or operation incapable of delivering critical business functions for some time, leading to business disruption and loss of revenue. New strategies and more deliberate approaches have now begun to migrate into the industry from other sectors, including oil and gas.

Leading mining companies are now asking themselves important questions:

• Are there blind-spots in current thinking and approaches to risk and catastrophic hazard management?

• Is catastrophic event and scenario planning sufficiently mature to identify and understand high consequence / low likelihood events?

• How do we know if current controls and the judgements of our operators align with recent advances in expectations from board members?

• How can we provide our stakeholders the assurance that these “unique” risks are understood and being responsibly managed?

This session will feature a panel of leaders from various sectors. Participants will be provided with an opportunity to examine cross-industry practices and learn from others’ experiences in maintaining secure and credible assets.

Refreshments will be provided after the panel, and attendees will have the opportunity to talk with panelists and colleagues from other organizations.

For over 21 years, IBK Capital has proudly supported MiningMatters, an educational program that offers a curriculum on rocks, minerals, metals and mining to schools across Canada.

This year’s recipient of the Mary-Claire Ward Geoscience Award is Jordan McDivitt of Laurentian University.

His M.Sc thesis focused on the structural and hydrothermal evolution of gold mineralization in the Missanabie-Renabie district, Ontario, Canada by integrating detailed field mapping with a number of geochemical techniques. The product provides the data needed to characterize and constrain gold mineralization hosted within a ca. 2.72 Ga tonalite batholith in the context of regional geology and deformation. The results contribute to furthering the understanding of gold metallogeny in the district in order to aid the mineral exploration industry.

Jordan will receive his award at GAC-MAC 2016 to be held June 1 – 3 in Whitehorse, Yukon.The award, comprising $5,000 and a certificate, is given annually and honors the memory of Mary-Claire Ward who died in 2004. Mary-Claire was the chair of the PDAC’s geoscience committee, chairman of Watts Griffis McOuat Ltd., and a past president of the Geological Association of Canada. She was a passionate advocate for the geosciences in Canada.

The intent of the award is to encourage and support a graduate student in Canada whose thesis contributes to our knowledge about the geological history of Canada. Mapping must be a significant component of the winning thesis.

The award is administered by the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), the Geological Association of Canada (GAC), the National Geological Surveys Committee, the Canadian Geological Foundation, and Watts, Griffis and McOuat Ltd.

Application details are posted at www.pdac.ca and www.gac.ca by October 1 every year.

Best practices in mineral exploration projects and how to avoid common errors encountered in technical reports and other disclosures made by Issuers

Friday, March 4

Room 803 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Organizer: Charles Beaudry, Consultant, with contributions from the Ontario Securities Commission, TMX Group & Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited

Various regulatory authorities across Canada have been regularly reviewing compliance with respect to disclosure requirements by corporations listed on the TSX and TSXV (Issuers) with surprisingly uniform results over space and time. The same types of errors appear frequently in spite of regular and frequent efforts to educate.

The course is addressed to Qualified Persons (QPs) and mining industry participants, particularly company executives and investor relations personnel and others interested in a better understanding of the obligations of Issuers and QPs with regard to disclosure of technical information related to mineral projects under NI 43-101.

The morning session will deal with common pitfalls and disclosure challenges at the various stages of development of a mineral project, through the use of case studies and examples of good disclosure practices for news releases, websites, investor relations materials and other written disclosure. The session will also include a discussion on technical reports and common issues that may require the technical report to be amended and re-filed.

The afternoon session will focus on best practices in the field, in the office and in mineral resource estimation. It will also provide guidance to industry practitioners with respect to the design of exploration projects, the collection of data used to prepare technical reports, mineral resource and mineral reserve statements and on the reporting of such information to the public. All the presentations will highlight those particularly troublesome

errors in disclosure that always make the top 25% of recurring problems seen during regulatory reviews.

The overall objective of the course is to help mining companies improve their disclosure compliance and avoid being called upon to explain or worse, to clarify or correct their disclosure with all its implications of time, money and reputation.

Structural vectoring in mineral exploration: What it is and how, when, and why we should use it

Friday, March 4

Room 716B 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

Organizer: Rogerio Noal Monteiro and associates, Vektore Exploration Consulting Corporation

The goal of structural vectoring is to define the linkage between structural features and mineralization processes and use it to predict location, shape, orientation and continuity of mineral bodies. This linkage is particularly useful when drilling a mineral target. In this short course, we will present and discuss the concept of structural vectoring in mineral exploration and recommend a suitable workflow. In addition, we will show plausible ways to harmonize structural vectoring with geochemistry and geophysics to significantly improve exploration of mineral targets.

Since this course is centered on target evaluation and development, we will focus on structural vectoring concepts, tools and methods at the drilling stage. The instructors will present examples of real case mineralization-related structural features and discuss how to collect such data and use these features as predictive tools for direct drilling towards mineral bodies.


Strategies on what, why and how many structures should be collected to provide a robust dataset will be proposed to the group and debated. The guidelines for structural logging of core will be carried out by using core samples.

A new method of collecting structural features from oriented and non-oriented core, the V-SET© Method, will be introduced to attendees who will have the opportunity to compare its characteristics and strengths with current industry standard methods.

This practical exercise will help prepare attendees to solve their real case geometrical problems, leading to a better understanding of mineralization processes and their interactions with host architecture. The geometry of drilling and its interaction with a mineral body will also be discussed and viewed from the structural vectoring perspective.

The instructors will illustrate the usefulness of structural vectoring through a series of case studies.

The metallogeny and exploration for zinc ores: Meeting the challenge for new resources

Friday, March 4 and Saturday, March 5

Room 701A 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Organizer: Society of Economical Geologists (SEG)

In view of recent and pending closures of some world-class zinc ore deposits, the discovery of significant zinc resources is needed to meet future world demand.

Given that “easy” discoveries are unlikely in the future, successful exploration must design robust exploration protocols that can prioritize targets based on our current knowledge of ore systems and understanding of what has or has not worked. This workshop provides an overview of the metallogeny of the most important sources of zinc ores: clastic-dominated, Mississippi Valley-type, volcanic-hosted massive sulfides and carbonate replacement deposits. Such ore deposits may also contain significant amounts of lead, copper, gold, silver, and critical elements such as germanium and indium.

The focus of the workshop is to provide the exploration geologist with practical, process-based exploration tools based on insights into why and where these ores form in the Earth’s crust. The course will benefit graduate students interested in recent advances in ore models, exploration geologists targeting deposit to belt-scale resources, and exploration managers wanting an update on the most recent ideas.

Examples of the world’s important mineral districts and giant deposits will be discussed to provide insights into the coupling of geological and geochemical host-rock attributes with tectonics, structural features, and fluid-flow that controlled ore deposition. To illustrate the variations within each ore type, discussions on the geological, structural and tectonic settings, alteration, zoning attributes, petrochemical constraints and distal footprints to ores will emphasize the spectrum of deposits and how to design robust exploration protocols. Case studies of discoveries and examples of field-based “exploration tools” and techniques will be presented. Ample time will be provided during the sessions to encourage discussions between participants and presenters.

Advancing exploration projects to production: Critical inputs for success SOLD OUT


Room 714B 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

Organizer: SRK Consulting

To save time and money, exploration companies must continually reassess their projects. Financial viability is conclusively determined only after a detailed feasibility study is done and financing secured. However, prior to completing feasibility studies, other systematic studies can highlight opportunities and risks within projects. This can help exploration companies to make, in a timely manner, the right decisions about whether or not to advance their projects.

This course will describe the steps needed and issues to consider in advancing exploration projects to production. Topics to be discussed include: resource classification and prospects for economic extraction, an introduction to mining methods, mining method selection (open pit or underground), an introduction to strategic mine planning, fundamental concepts in mine design (e.g. cut-off grade, metal equivalent, net smelter return [NSR] calculation, and dilution), setting of economic parameters, mill production rate determination, mine production scheduling, stockpiling, mine economic analysis, an introduction to geotechnical engineering in open pit and

Short Courses


underground mines, metallurgical aspects of projects and their impact on project value, and processing options for dealing with increasingly challenging ore properties (e.g. very hard, low grade, or impure elements). Issues related to permitting, community relations, and environmental aspects of exploration projects will also be addressed.

Case studies and examples of real-life projects will be presented throughout both days of the course. At the end of each day, a few examples of cut-off grade and NSR calculations will be practiced.

Objectives:This course will help you and your team to:

• Become familiar with the unique demands of today’s exploration projects and learn to implement best practices

• Learn how to streamline communication between geologists and mining teams

• Become familiar with the terms, procedures, conditions, limits, and critical inputs of mine design

• Understand mine design techniques such as pit optimization and production scheduling

• Learn the principles of strategic mine planning

• Develop a better understanding of – and the ability to interpret – technical mining reports

• Discuss key mining terms and concepts such as best case, worst case, base case, cut-off and cut-over grades, strip ratio, metal equivalent, and dilution

Metallurgy for geologists

Saturday, March 5

Room 713 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

Organizer: RPA Inc.

A basic understanding of metallurgy, or more precisely, the geo-metallurgy of deposits, provides opportunities to develop projects in the most efficient manner possible. Knowledge of the metallurgy of a deposit minimizes costs and risks associated with the project development. It can reduce the time required to make informed decisions to bring projects into production, or to abandon them and move on to other projects that will be more likely to meet a company’s objectives.

Collecting and interpreting metallurgically-related data is best initiated soon after the deposit discovery. Project development requires the support of interdisciplinary teams that consider not only the geology, but also mining requirements and methods, metallurgy and process design, and environmental and social awareness and understanding, among other things. Geologists are not commonly exposed to mineral processing at university. The goal of the course is to explain why the metallurgical response of geological deposits is oftentimes more important than the geological characteristics as a project moves into operations.

This one-day course is designed to provide exploration geologists and managers with an understanding of the essential components of sample selection, metallurgical test work, results interpretation, and the financial implications associated with the results. Case studies from current projects, with an emphasis on gold processing, will be included to demonstrate the principles that are presented.

Objectives: • What are the important metallurgical properties and

why do they matter?

• How to understand metallurgy starting from the beginning of exploration

• Best practices in geological/metallurgical sampling

• Sample selection criteria and requirements for metallurgical studies

• Selecting assaying protocols that also promote understanding of the metallurgy

• The role of geostatistical block models and geo-metallurgical modeling

• Introduction to mineral processing and “typical” flowsheets for gold recovery

• Geo-metallurgical characteristics that impact process design

• The value of integrating metallurgy with geology to make informed decisions

• Applying metallurgical and economic parameters into net smelter return calculations to estimate economic cut-off grades

• Review case studies, economics, and conclusions

Presenters: Kathleen Altman, RPA Inc. Jason Cox, RPA Inc. Reno Pressacco, RPA Inc.

Target course participants: • Exploration geologists

• Mine geologists

• Resource geologists

• Engineers who want a refresher course in metallurgy

• Exploration and mining company management

• Investors with a basic understanding of mining operations and geology

Short Courses


Health and safety in mineral exploration

Saturday, March 5

Room 803B 8:30 am – 4:30 pm

Organizer: Bill Mercer, Avalon Rare Metals Inc.

The objective of the course is to give participants sufficient training that they can understand the following:

• What the typical risks are in mineral exploration

• Completion of an elementary risk assessment of a task

• Investigating an accident

• Collection, compilation and understanding of health and safety statistics

• At a high level, how health and safety can and should be administered

• What the special risks are around drilling (accidents) and helicopters (fatalities)

The participants, if from a small company, will have enough information to start a health and safety (H&S) program, if such does not exist. If from a larger company, they will understand better what the company program is attempting to achieve, and also some specific technicalities of risks around drilling and helicopters. The course is targeted at those active in mineral exploration in the field, although management aspects of H&S will also be covered.

Presenters: Bill Mercer, Avalon Rare Metals Inc. Buck Page, ERM Rescan Mark Wiseman, Avalon Rare Metals Inc. Brian Maeck, Boart Longyear Limited Corey Taylor, Great Slave Helicopters

Level of comprehension: Beginner to intermediate

Course fee: (includes course material, continental breakfast and lunch)

PDAC is pleased to offer this course at a special rate as part of the Association’s ongoing leadership in Health and Safety, and its commitment to improving responsible exploration.

DMEC workshop series: Making technology work; the importance of time and patience

Wednesday, March 9

Room 714B 2:00 – 6:00 pm

Chairs: Ken Witherly, Condor Consulting, Inc. & Charles Beaudry, Consultant

Successful minerals exploration can be considered a process that relies on a stream of new technology as part of the constant improvement required to offset the effects of things like: terrain maturity, challenging targets, and cost effectiveness.

Most new technology comes into the exploration environment without a user manual, defined methodology, or a way to effectively integrate the new technology into the exploration process. The industry typically has to rely on its own empirically developed “best practice”, often obtained through the efforts of people who lack the specific knowledge of the new technology.

Early experiences with new technology can often be deemed “failures”. These failures are more likely attributable to a lack of understanding as to how technology should be applied.

This DMEC-PDAC seminar will examine a number of examples where, after initial “failure” of a technique, users were able to adapt and learn to arrive at a successful outcome.

Core Shack Investors Exchange Mining Marketplace Prospectors Tent

Investors Exchange Sponsored by

On behalf of all of us in the Base Metals business at Vale, allow me to welcome you to Canada, to Toronto and to the 2016 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada annual convention.

Since its beginnings in 1932, the PDAC Convention has grown to become the premier meeting place for the international mining and minerals industry. At Vale, we are both proud and honoured to be a sponsor of this world-class event, and of the Investors Exchange, again this year.

The Investors Exchange offers an opportunity for junior exploration companies, major mining companies, mid-sized producers, prospectors, stock exchanges and investors to meet face-to-face to share accomplishments, challenges and opportunities. While we are together in this forum, we would be amiss to let 2016 go by without taking every opportunity to discuss the challenging market we find ourselves in.

At Vale, we are focusing on what matters — maintaining our efforts to be a safe and reliable producer; improving our efficiencies; and delivering value to our people and our communities. We are looking forward to engaging in conversation with you this week — our partners, peers, shareholders and friends — as we navigate this unprecedented time.

From now until March 9, the mining world is right here in Toronto — take advantage of it.

Regards and Best Wishes,

Jennifer Maki Executive Director, Vale Base Metals Chief Executive Officer, Vale in Canada

Welcome to PDAC


Ni

PDAC is a time to learn as much as we can from each other. Let’s take every opportunity to do so.

Did you know that our operations in Sudbury, Canada, refine enough ore to make 8.3 billion nickel coins a year? And that’s just the beginning.
