At the beginning of the mining industry downturn in 2012 Eagle Plains Resources (EPL:TSX-V) focused on identifying the best opportunities for gold exploration projects in western Canada
This was done to take advantage of its healthy treasury and technical team when the opportunity for acquisition of quality exploration projects was peaking
The team identified a relatively under- explored area in northeastern Saskatchewan They weren’t alone….
Weeks after consolidating 4 large gold exploration properties in the Tabbernor fault area another company entered the scene….. Silver Standard Resources
Silver Standard Resources, now SSR Mining, buys Claude Resources and acquires the neighboring Seabee Gold Operation in March 2016 for a share deal amounting to $337m
SSR Mining appears to have come to the same conclusion as Eagle Plains and backed up that theory with $337m.
Within weeks SSR Mining and Eagle Plains entered discussions regarding an option on the Fisher Property
On October 6, 2016 SSR Mining optioned the Fisher Project from Eagle Plains with terms: SSRM may earn a 60% interest: • complete $4M exploration within 4 yrs • an initial cash payment to EPL of $100k • annual cash payments to EPL of $75,000 SSRM may earn an additional 20%: • Make a cash payment of $3M to EPL within one year of announcing 60%
In 2017 SSR Mining commenced a $90M upgrade of the Seabee Gold Operation designed to: • Extend production profile by approx. 29% over 2016 levels • Near-term production growth to peak production of 120,000 oz in 2020 • Expand operating margins by lowering cost/oz • Improve processing plant performance
In April 2018 Eagle Plains spins-out a new entity awarding shareholders a new shares on a 1 for 2 share basis: Taiga Gold Corp lists on the Canadian Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol TGC
Here’s the rationale for the spin -out: • Improve identification and valuation of gold assets • Simplify corporate ownership / invite takeover • Increase ability to finance without dilution to EPL • Provide a liquidity event for EPL shareholders • Tax-free structure for spin-out shares • Its worked well in the past, CPY an EPL spin-out • CPY/NG merger = $65m to CPY shareholders
Taiga’s assets include 5 gold exploration properties strategically located in the Seabee Gold Operation Camp: • Fisher, Leland, Orchid, Chico & SAM • Royalties on all these projects including a 2.5% NSR at the Fisher
Since 2016, SSR Mining has explored the Fisher Project for new gold discovery, some highlights are: • Exploration has focused along the Santoy Shear Zone • Drilling of 21,000m over 48 holes, extensive ground- based sampling and geophysics completed by SSRM • High-grade gold mineralization identified over a 13km trend, with values reported up to 166.8 g/t gold • Numerous high-grade gold occurrences discovered • Structural interpretation indicates the geological setting at Mac North is similar to the high-grade zones at the nearby Santoy Mine Complex
Highlights Continued: • New target areas identified near border with Santoy Mine • All-season Fisher camp being upgraded to a 44- person camp for 2020 winter work • Planning and permitting underway for Winter, 2020 drill program • Cash payments received by Taiga totaling $325,000 to date • 2019 expenditures exceeded $3M, with over $7.8M in exploration completed on Fisher to date, funded entirely by SSRM
