Frederick Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus, commented:
“The Company’s portfolio continues to expand and diversify which means our shareholders benefit from increased exposure to multiple exploration programs simultaneously. Some of the results announced today speak to the optionality across our portfolio, with continued investment across our royalties by third parties at no cost to Elemental Altus. Alongside this ongoing investment in exploration, with the recent commencement of royalty payments from the Mercedes gold mine and expected increase over the course of 2023 from the Bonikro gold mine, despite interruptions to revenue from the Ming gold mine, we are well-positioned to continue to invest in new royalties and streams.”
Karlawinda Gold Mine: On Track to Achieve Operator Guidance, Near-Mine Exploration Success
Capricorn Metals Ltd (“
Capricorn“) announced year to date gold production of 60,315 ounces for the six months to December 2022 with all-in-sustaining-costs (“
AISC“) of $1,137 per ounce, putting Karlawinda on track to achieve year to June 2023 guidance of 115,000 – 125,000 ounces.
Capricorn also announced strong drill results from a number near-mine prospects as a part of its previously announced 129-hole (29,500 meters) exploration program at the project. The operator reported that exploration drilling at Muirfield and the newly identified Vedas prospects, both located within 5 kilometres of the Bibra open pit, along a key structural orientation, and within Elemental Altus’s royalty area, returned significant near surface oxide and fresh rock mineralisation at least partly under cover, displaying similar geological features to the Bibra deposit – including characteristic alteration, stacked lodes, and a relatively gentle dip of the mineralised horizons.
Highlights from Muirfield include:
- 12 metres @ 3.54 g/t gold (“Au“) from 20 to 32m (KBRC1604)
- 2 metres @ 15.25 g/t Au from 117 to 119m (KBRC1853)
- 1 metre @ 17.96 g/t Au from 79 to 80m (KBRC1859)
Highlights from Vedas include:
- 13 metres @ 2.19 g/t Au from 140 to 153m (KBRC1857)
- 2 metres @ 13.37 g/t Au from 96 to 98m (KBRC1856)
A follow-up drilling programme is planned for Muirfield and Vedas as a potential satellite project to Bibra.

Mercedes Gold Mine: Operating Above Guidance, Targeting Higher Grade Ores in 2023
Bear Creek Mining Corp (“
Bear Creek“) announced on January 4, 2023 that Q4 production from Mercedes exceeded their quarterly guidance, with 13,710 ounces of gold produced during Q4 2022; a 23% increase in production compared to Q3 2022. This marked the second full quarter under operator Bear Creek, following its acquisition of the project in early 2022, and the initial implementation of its operational improvement program. Bear Creek announced 2023 gold production guidance of 65,000 – 75,000 ounces of gold in 2023, representing a 49% increase relative to 2022.
Furthermore, Bear Creek announced the discovery of two new high-grade veins discovered by underground drilling in the Marianas zone in the vicinity of existing development. They report that drillhole UG-MR22-107 intercepted 3.5 meters grading 5.8 g/t gold and 3.6 meters grading 13.1 g/t gold; and, UG-MR22-114 intersected 0.8 meters grading 89.1 g/t gold and 192 g/t silver, marking the discovery of another new vein, and a second intercept of 3.0 meters grading 15.8 g/t gold and 151 g/t silver representing the extension, as projected, of a known vein. Additional drilling to test these veins will be conducted in February 2023 with the goal of defining ore for mining in 2024.
Bear Creek also announced a 2023 exploration budget of US$4.4 million exploration program at Mercedes, including 33,000 metres of drilling:
- 14,200 metres in 65 drill holes focusing on expansion of mineral resources, and conversion of mineral resources to mineral reserves
- 11,500 metres in 17 drill holes designed to identify new resources in structurally offset targets near current operating zones
- 7,000 metres in 12 drill holes exploring the projections of two important highly mineralized trends in the Mercedes district; the poorly-explored Margarita East structural zone, and the northwest projection of the Mercedes structural trend from Marianas to the concession boundary, a distance in excess of five kilometres

Following the announcement of the updated MRE, Future Metals noted that in addition to ongoing drilling of both the known mineralised area and exploration targets further afield, scoping development studies are to commence, assessing optimal development pathways for Panton assessing both high-grade and bulk tonnage scenarios and a combination of both, leading into a planned Pre-Feasibility Study, in parallel with further exploration and metallurgical work.
Diamond drilling has also intersected near-surface sulphide mineralisation, providing further evidence for a large new Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide system at Panton. Intersections demonstrate a prospective new mineralised zone, 4km south-west of the known high-grade chromite reef-hosted mineralisation.
Future Metals are targeting a further update of the MRE as their geological model continues to be refined and intend to use that to inform a Scoping Study to be completed during the second half of 2023.

Hope Brook Gold Project: Big Ridge Gold increased the size of the Mineral Resource Estimate at
On February 21, 2023 Big Ridge Gold Corp (“
Big Ridge“) announced an update to the Hope Brook Au (+Cu) Project NI 43-101 MRE, for a total of 1.437MOz at 2.43 g/t incorporating a total of 1.21MOz at 2.32 g/t Indicated gold ounces increasing 43%, and a total of 0.23MOz @ 3.25 g/t Inferred gold ounces increasing 110%, after the recently completed drill program extending both the Main Zone and the 240 Zones.
The project operated as both an open pit and underground operation from 1987-1997, reportedly producing ~750kOz gold.
Big Ridge have for the first time also estimated copper content. Copper was successfully recovered during the latter stages of earlier operation, but copper assaying has not been completed on all historic sampling, so it is all classified as Inferred Resource; and it is only based on the volumes defined by the current gold MRE process.

Ballarat Gold Mine: Shen Yao Holdings update on mining and receipt of demand
While mining continued uninterrupted, the Ballarat Gold Mine in Australia voluntarily halted processing of ore from November 30
th to January 11
th due to environmental issues which have now been resolved. Mining continued through the period and high-grade ore that was stockpiled is now being prioritised for processing.
Shen Yao Holdings’ (“
Shen Yao“) Australian subsidiary, Balmaine Gold, subsequently received statutory demands from lenders in February in relation to existing loans and accrued interest. Shen Yao has acknowledged the notice and is engaging with the parties to resolve the matter while operations continue.
Elemental Altus holds a 1.25% NSR royalty over the Ballarat Gold Mine.
Caserones Copper-Molybdenum Mine: Site visit by Elemental Altus
The Company undertook a maiden site visit to JX Nippon’s Caserones Copper-molybdenum mine in the Atacama Region of the northern Chilean Andean Cordillera in December 2022. The trip provided a detailed insight into operations at the mine, which produced over 90,000 tonnes of fine copper in concentrate, over 14,000 tonnes of fine copper in cathodes and over 2,000 tonnes of fine molybdenum in concentrate in 2021.
2 In Q3 the mine experienced unusually heavy weather conditions, which subsequently impacted production and the Company’s royalty.
Elemental Altus holds an effective 0.418% NSR royalty over the Caserones Copper-Molybdenum Mine.

Crawford Gold Project: Cavalier report MRE
After an Initial Public Offering in June 2022 Cavalier Resources have reported a 17% increase in the MRE at their Crawford Project in Western Australia, with an Indicated Resource of 37,000 ounces @ 1.0 g/t and Inferred Resource of 81,000 ounces @ 1.0 g/t at a 0.5 g/t cut-off.
Crawford is to date defined as a shallow flat-lying supergene deposit which remains open along strike and at depth. The deposit currently has a strike length of more than 1km. However, the MRE process has highlighted a sub-vertical component and a fresh rock zone. As a result Cavalier have paused their previously announced PFS work to investigate these new zones and test further extension of mineralisation along strike and at depth.
Q4 2022 drill results included:
- 9m at 3.84 g/t Au from 7m, including 4m at 5.57 g/t Au from 12m; and, end of hole 1m at 1.93 g/t Au from 59m (22CFRC0001)
- 1m at 14.85 g/t Au from 25m; and, 13m at 2.08 g/t Au from 37 m, including 2m at 6.99 g/t Au from 42m (22CFRC0005)
- 2m at 11.80 g/t Au from 33m; 6m at 2.34 g/t Au from 54m; 3m at 3.10 g/t Au from 70m; 1m at 6.90 g/t from 75m; and, 7m at 4.45 g/t Au from 81m (22CFRC0012)
