Lomiko has an option for 100% of the high-grade La Loutre graphite Property, Lac Des Iles Graphite Property and the 100% owned Quatre Milles Graphite Property. Lomiko is uniquely poised to supply the growing EV battery market. Click Here For More Information
One of the biggest challenges for automakers is building electric vehicles that can deliver ranges of over 400 miles with batteries that last the lifetime of the vehicle. Unlike gas-powered vehicles with mechanical engines, electric cars equipped with more reliable electric motors can travel a million miles or more, given that their batteries can last just as long.
Now Chinese battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL), says its ready to build an EV battery with an expected lifespan of 1.2 million miles or 16 years before its needs replacement, Bloomberg reported this week.
In an interview at the company’s headquarters in Ningde, southeastern China, CATL Chairman Zeng Yuqun says that the company is ready to build it.
“If someone places an order, we are ready to produce,” said Zeng to Bloomberg, without disclosing if any contracts for the long-life battery have been signed. The longer life battery is expected to cost around 10% more than the EV batteries being used today, said Zeng.
CATL is one of the biggest suppliers of batteries to the auto industry. The company has already formed a strategic partnership with German automaker Volkswagen to supply the batteries for millions of EVs the automaker plans to build over the next decade.
In addition, an EV battery with a million mile plus warranty could be a big selling point for automakers, luring new customers to switch to fully-electric vehicles that might last much longer than their fossil fuel counterparts.
Electric automakers Tesla for example, the company considered to be the world’s leader in the electric vehicle segment, currently offers just an 8 year or 150,000 mile battery warranty for the Model S and Model X, with a minimum of 70% retention of the battery capacity during the warranty period, so CATL’s battery can offer much better long-term performance.
In addition, the long-life EV batteries can be used for second life purposes, including being installed in another electric vehicle, or connected to the grid.
Concerns about expensive to replace batteries losing charge retention is one factor holding back consumer adoption of EVs. Last year, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said that replacing the Model 3 battery will cost between $5,000 and $7,000. However, Tesla has steadily improved its battery technology since the Model S was introduced in 2012.
In a Twitter post on April 13, 2019, Musk wrote about the Model 3, “Model 3 drive unit & body is designed like a commercial truck for a million mile life. Current battery modules should last 300k to 500k miles.”
Rival General Motors last month said it is nearing the million mile mark with its new batteries.
CATL is Positioning Itself to Become a Major EV Battery Supplier
As the auto industry transitions to electrification, CATL is positioning itself to be a leading global supplier of batteries. The company is pouring money into research-and-development to improve battery technology.
CATL inked a two-year deal in February to supply batteries to Tesla. Previously, Tesla primarily mainly worked with Japan’s Panasonic Corp. and South Korea’s LG Chem to produce EV batteries. The lucrative deal with CATL followed months of negotiations, with Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk traveling to Shanghai to meet with CATL’s Chairman Zeng.
The CATL batteries will be installed in Model 3 sedans produced at Tesla’s new Shanghai factory. The first Model 3s made in China were delivered to customers in January of this year.
Although the coronavirus pandemic is putting a dent in EV sales, demand is expected to rebound in early 2021, said Zeng.
Car buyers holding back during the pandemic is creating pent-up demand that will be “unleashed” starting next year, led by premium electric vehicle models, he said. CATL’s other automotive customers include BMW and Toyota.
CATL is building a factory in Germany, which is expected to make more than 70% of BMW’s batteries, Zeng told Bloomberg. CATL also works with Volkswagen’s Audi unit. Zeng didn’t rule out building a plant in the U.S., although CATL has no specific plans for now.
“Our team has made achievements in competing with our global rivals in overseas markets,” Zeng said.
According to the 2020 Electric Vehicle Outlook report published by Bloomberg NEF (BNEF), electric vehicles are expected to rebound more from the economic slowdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic than combustion engine vehicles.
Battery-powered cars will grow to be 8.1% of all vehicle sales in China next year, which accounts for the largest share of global EV sales, and to 5% in Europe, BNEF predicts.
“The pandemic may have a lasting effect throughout 2020, but won’t be a major factor next year,” Zeng said to Bloomberg. “We have great confidence for the long run.”
Batteries are the most expensive component of electric vehicles. If CATL becomes a major supplier to the auto industry, the batteries might make up a significant portion of the company’s future profits.
Shares of CATL have advanced about six-fold in Shenzhen since its IPO in 2018, giving the company a market value of about $47 billion. Tesla’s market cap topped $187 billion this week after its stock price exceeded $1,000 for the first time in company history. The surge in Tesla’s shares makes it the one of the world’s most valuable automakers, right behind Toyota.
Zang said a “trigger point” for electric cars will occur once they overtake gasoline-powered vehicles around 2030-2035.
By that time, CATL might become the world’s leading battery supplier.

These trials will help steer business investment decisions in future years
The benefits from trials so far include:
Health and safety improvements for employees underground: EVs are much quieter than diesel vehicles and produce less heat and zero exhaust emissions. “From an operator comfort perspective, EVs are certainly an improvement,â€
Cost savings: EVs can reduce underground ventilation demands and the associated operating and capital expenditure
Environmental benefits: EVs contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
By the end of 2020, Vale hopes to have upward of 20 battery-powered vehicles operating within its North Atlantic operations, according to Alex Mulloy, Mining Engineer within Vale’s Base Metals Technology and Innovation division.
The plan is for the electric vehicles (EVs) to be operating on a trial basis at its Creighton, Coleman, Copper Cliff, Garson and Thompson mines by the end of the year, with the company having already made significant headway on achieving this goal.
Mulloy said the green vehicles are going to be evaluated with feedback from operations, as well as operating data, to help Vale understand how they perform in terms of reliability, functionality and the benefits they can offer our people and the business.
The benefits from trials so far include:
Health and safety improvements for our employees underground: EVs are much quieter than diesel vehicles and produce less heat and zero exhaust emissions. “From an operator comfort perspective, EVs are certainly an improvement,†Mulloy said;
Cost savings: EVs can reduce underground ventilation demands and the associated operating and capital expenditure; and
Environmental benefits: EVs contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
“EVs certainly complement the efforts of the business in terms of greenhouse gas and carbon reduction,†Mulloy said. “It’s a great technology. Not only does it enable operational benefit and improvement, it also contributes to our greater goals of reducing our emissions and the impact on the environment.â€
Natalie Kari, Principal Engineer, Strategic Electric Vehicle Implementation, said: “Exhaust emissions from diesel engines are one of the larger contributors to environmental pollution. EVs are an opportunity to increase safety by improving operating conditions and creating a safe work environment. Reducing noise, vibrations, heat, greenhouse gas emissions, and diesel particulate matter, while improving air quality, contributes to creating an attractive work environment for top talent.
“With increased challenging mine conditions at depth, EVs also provide an opportunity to sustain productivity by enabling mines to produce in areas that otherwise may not be feasible without these benefits, contributing towards mining for years to come.â€
These trials will help steer business investment decisions in future years, according to Mulloy.
“Over the coming months, a number of large prime mover vehicles will be delivered,†he said. “When those vehicles arrive, it will be an exciting step in the journey because most of the question marks around the performance of EVs relate to the large vehicles, so that’ll be a chance for us to really put this technology to the test.â€
Kari added: “Our company’s next major steps include collaborating with internal and external industry stakeholders towards safe implementation, comprehensive trial data collection and validation of a robust model towards a final approved five-year implementation strategy. With any new technology, investment in our people will be a priority to ensure they are equipped with the tools necessary for successful operation and maintenance.
“It is thrilling to be a part of leading this effort in a time of increased innovation and environmental awareness,†she continued. “The movement from traditional diesel to electric vehicle brings a feeling of social pride in creating a healthier workplace.â€

The Imbo inferred mineral resource increased by 49% to 2.5 million ounces (30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au). 76.29% of this gold resource is attributable to Loncor via its 76.29% interest in the Imbo Project.
76.29% of this gold resource is attributable to Loncor via its 76.29% interest in the Imbo Project.
A planned drill program will look to add to the Adumbi resource over the next twelve months.
TORONTO, June 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor” or the “Company“) (TSX: “LN”; OTCQB: “LONCF”) announces that it has filed on SEDAR an independent National Instrument 43-101 technical report (the “Technical Reportâ€) relating to the Company’s Imbo Project, in particular, the updated gold mineral resource estimates for the Imbo Project reported in the Company’s April 17, 2020 press release. The Technical Report, which was prepared by Minecon Resources and Services Limited, has an effective date of April 17, 2020 and is entitled “Independent National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Imbo Project, Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo”.
Highlights from April 17, 2020 press release confirmed in Technical Report:
The Imbo Project inferred mineral resource increased by 49% to 2.5 million ounces of gold (30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au). 76.29% of this gold resource is attributable to Loncor via its 76.29% interest in the Imbo Project.
Within the Imbo Project, the Adumbi deposit inferred mineral resource increased by 61% to 2.19 million ounces of gold (28.97 million tonnes grading 2.35 g/t Au) (the Adumbi deposit is one of the three deposits at Imbo currently with a resource).
A planned drill program will look to add to the Adumbi resource over the next twelve months.
The Imbo mineral resources are in addition to Loncor’s resources at its Makapela Project (which is 100%-owned by Loncor) where there is an indicated mineral resource of 614,200 ounces of gold (2.20 million tonnes grading 8.66 g/t Au) and an inferred mineral resource of 549,600 ounces of gold (3.22 million tonnes grading 5.30 g/t Au).
Arnold Kondrat, CEO of Loncor, stated: “This filing of the 43-101 represents the culmination of many years of persistence by the Loncor team in the Ngayu greenstone belt. We believe this region is one of the few remaining areas around the world where Tier 1 gold deposits can still be discovered, built and mined profitably as shown by Barrick Gold at the Kibali mine. Over the next 12 months, Loncor will look to drive forward with a drill program at the Adumbi deposit, with the aim of significantly increasing the current resource, while simultaneously awaiting with interest news on the imminent drilling program at the drill targets defined by our Joint Venture partner Barrick Gold.â€
About Loncor Resources Inc. Loncor is a Canadian gold exploration company focussed on the Ngayu Greenstone Belt in the North East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRCâ€). The Loncor team has over two decades of experience of operating in the DRC. Ngayu has numerous positive indicators based on the geology, artisanal activity, encouraging drill results and an existing gold resource base. The area is 220 kilometres southwest of the Kibali gold mine, which is operated by Barrick Gold (Congo) SARL (“Barrickâ€). In 2019, Kibali produced record gold production of 814,000 ounces at “all-in sustaining costs†of US$693/oz. Barrick has highlighted the Ngayu Greenstone Belt as an area of particular exploration interest and is moving towards earning 65% of any discovery in 1,894 km2 of Loncor ground that they are exploring. As per the joint venture agreement signed in January 2016, Barrick manages and funds exploration on the said ground at the Ngayu project until the completion of a pre-feasibility study on any gold discovery meeting the investment criteria of Barrick. In a recent announcement Barrick highlighted six prospective drill targets and are moving towards confirmation drilling in 2020. Subject to the DRC’s free carried interest requirements, Barrick would earn 65% of any discovery with Loncor holding the balance of 35%. Loncor will be required, from that point forward, to fund its pro-rata share in respect of the discovery in order to maintain its 35% interest or be diluted.
In addition to the Barrick JV, certain parcels of land within the Ngayu project surrounding and including the Makapela and Adumbi deposits have been retained by Loncor and do not form part of the joint venture with Barrick. Barrick has certain pre-emptive rights over the Makapela deposit. Loncor’s Makapela deposit (which is 100%-owned by Loncor) has an indicated mineral resource of 614,200 ounces of gold (2.20 million tonnes grading 8.66 g/t Au) and an inferred mineral resource of 549,600 ounces of gold (3.22 million tonnes grading 5.30 g/t Au). Adumbi and two neighbouring deposits hold an inferred mineral resource of 2.5 million ounces of gold (30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au), with 76.29% of this resource being attributable to Loncor via its 76.29% interest in the project.
Resolute Mining Limited (ASX/LSE: “RSG”) owns 26% of the outstanding shares of Loncor and holds a pre-emptive right to maintain its pro rata equity ownership interest in Loncor following the completion by Loncor of any proposed equity offering.
Additional information with respect to Loncor and its projects can be found on Loncor’s website at www.loncor.com.
Qualified Person Peter N. Cowley, who is President of Loncor and a “qualified person” as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this press release.
Technical Reports Additional information with respect to the Company’s Imbo Project is contained in the technical report of Minecon Resources and Services Limited dated April 17, 2020 and entitled “Independent National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Imbo Project, Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo”.

In a new study, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers analyzed the brain scans of people after they took psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic (magic) mushrooms, to see what happens in the brain when people are on psychedelics.
The team focused on a part of the brain known as the claustrum, taken from the Latin word for “hidden or shut away.†The claustrum is an extremely thin sheet of neurons deep within the cortex, yet it reaches out to every other region of the brain.
Its true purpose remains “hidden away†as well, with researchers speculating about its functions. For example, Dr. Francis Crick, the British biologist and neuroscientist who proposed the double helix structure of the DNA molecule, believed that the claustrum was the seat of consciousness, responsible for awareness and sense of self.
What is known is that this region contains a large number of receptors targeted by psychedelic drugs such as LSD or psilocybin.
To see what happens in the claustrum when people are on psychedelics, the researchers compared the brain scans of people after they took psilocybin with their scans after taking a placebo.
The scans after psilocybin use showed that the claustrum was less active, meaning the area of the brain believed responsible for setting attention and switching tasks is turned down when on the drug.
The researchers say that this ties in with what people report as typical effects of psychedelic drugs, including feelings of being connected to everything and reduced senses of self or ego.
“Our findings move us one step closer to understanding mechanisms underlying how psilocybin works in the brain,†says Frederick Barrett, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a member of the school’s Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research.
“This will hopefully enable us to better understand why it’s an effective therapy for certain psychiatric disorders, which might help us tailor therapies to help people more.â€
Because of its deep-rooted location in the brain, the claustrum has been difficult to access and study. Last year, Barrett and his colleagues at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, developed a method to detect brain activity in the claustrum using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
In this study, the researchers used fMRI with 15 people and observed the claustrum brain region after the participants took either psilocybin or a placebo. They found that psilocybin reduced neural activity in the claustrum by 15% to 30%.
This reduced activity also appeared to be linked to the stronger subjective effects of the drug, such as emotional and mystical experiences. The team also found that psilocybin changed the way that the claustrum communicated with brain regions involved in hearing, attention, decision-making and remembering.
With the highly detailed imaging of the claustrum provided by fMRI, the researchers hope to look at this mysterious brain region in people with certain psychiatric disorders such as depression and substance use disorder.
The aim of this research would be to see what roles, if any, the claustrum plays in these conditions. The team also plans to observe the claustrum’s activity when under the influence of other psychedelics, such as salvinorin A, a hallucinogen derived from a Mexican plant.
The findings are published online in the journal NeuroImage.

SPONSOR: American Creek owns a 20% Carried Interest to Production at the Treaty Creek Project in the Golden Triangle. 2019’s first hole averaged 0.683 g/t Au over 780m in a vertical intercept. 2020 drilling has started, with 18,000 to 20,000 metres from 7-10 drill platforms with four diamond drill rigs. The Treaty Creek property is located in the same hydrothermal system as the Pretivm and Seabridge’s KSM deposits and is fully funded for exploration in 2020. Click Here For More Info
Located next to the world’s largest undeveloped gold deposit by reserves in B.C.’s Golden Triangle (KSM)
Drilling has started 1 month early
There are already holes shipped off to the lab for assays.
American Creek has a Fully Carried 20% Interest in the Treaty Creek Project
The currently known length of the northeast axis of the Goldstorm system is 850 meters and the southeast axis is 600 meters by 700m depth.
Mineralization depth in the north continues to 1,200m when the drills gave out
The system remains open in both directions and in depth
The total size of this mighty gold system has expanded significantly with each step-out borehole
AMK Partner Tudor is planning a step-out of 150 meters to the east and the north in 2020.
The richest mineralization at ‘Treaty Creek’ starts near the surface extending to a 300m depth, which clearly speaks for a future open pit mine.
The gold system is open on all sides and the geology and geophysics indicate a much larger system than has been defined.
The Treaty Creek Project is a Joint Venture with Tudor Gold owning 3/5th and acting as operator. American Creek and Teuton Resources each have a 1/5th interest in the project creating a 3:1 ownership relationship between Tudor Gold and American Creek. American Creek and Teuton are both fully carried until such time as a Production Notice is issued, at which time they are required to contribute their respective 20% share of development costs. Until such time, Tudor is required to fund all exploration and development costs while both American Creek and Teuton have “free rides”.
Demand for world-class projects in politically stable regions such as Canada and Australia will increase significantly. Projects such as’ Treaty Creek ‘by Tudor Gold should be at the top of the big producers’ shopping list
JS Research from Germany just came out with a report on Treaty Creek and American Creek’s JV partner Tudor Gold, which includes projections for the size and value of the project. Below is the English translation:

This means that this year’s drilling program is more than twice as large as last year when 9,781 meters were drilled in 14 holes.
TOP NEWS 2:
100% hit rate for the 2019 drilling program – all 14 holes have hit gold-bearing mineralization! Chapeau to the management team around the experienced CEO Walter Storm, who, as a co-founder of Osisko Mining (market capitalization then rose from under 10 million to over 4.5 billion CAD), had a real golden hand in exploration in Canada!
TOP NEWS 3:
The legendary star investor Eric Sprott has massively expanded his strategic stake in Tudor Gold! The billionaire announced on May 15, 20 that he had exercised two purchase warrants ahead of time and has thus transferred CAD 2.9 million to Tudor. (Read the German press release here: LINK) The smart Eric Sprott knows exactly how to make a lot of money in the raw materials sector! This further investment is a special seal of approval and strong proof of trust in the world-class Explorer Tudor Gold!!! Follow the ‘smart money’ and be there when Tudor Gold writes exploration history!
TOP NEWS 4:
Tudor Gold is one of the few exploration companies that are sufficiently funded to run such a mega exploration program! So there will be a lot of news flow in the next few months, which should cause extreme (positive) share price fantasy!
TOP NEWS 5:
The exploration team around Tudor Gold’s award-winning star geologist and VP Project Development, Ken Konkin , has even managed to start drilling four weeks earlier! This is top news, because the publication of the first drilling results can now be expected much earlier! Ken Konkin was instrumental in the discovery of Pretium Resources’ The Valley of Kings deposit. The very experienced Ken Konkin knows exactly what he is doing – we are expecting another successful exploration program this year!
TOP NEWS 6:
The company has big plans: On April 22, 20, Tudor announced that the metallurgical test work and preliminary basic studies on ‘Treaty Creek’ have started. For us, this is a strong sign that Tudor will continue to develop the project until it is ready for production after the release of a first resource (towards the end of this year?)!

LINK TOP NEWS 7:
The gold price marked a new multi-year high of $ 1,765 in May and is still in a long-term cyclical uptrend. Many experts expect the nominal all-time high of around USD 1,920 to be exceeded in the next few months.
In April, the renowned American Bank of America made a forecast that gold could rise to up to USD 3,000 per troy ounce within 18 months! One of the reasons for the gold price rise is the launch of global economic stimulus programs and the massive expansion of money supply by the major central banks. It is estimated that the staggering $ 10 trillion in new money will be printed or launched on government programs.
These measures are designed to avert a severe recession / depression triggered by COVID-19. It is expected that we will see rapidly increasing inflation rates or even stagflation in the next few years! Gold is and remains one of the safest investments (a so-called ‘safe haven’) for investors in such an environment and offers the ultimate protection against inflation-related devaluation.
Gold stocks traditionally have significant leverage against gold. This means that if the gold price trend is positive, they will increase significantly more in percentage terms. Experience has shown that the typical leverage effect of a gold share is 1.5 to 4x. (A 1% price increase in gold usually means an increase of 1.5 to 4% for shares in the gold sector). Not so with Tudor Gold: the exploration company even had a much stronger lever on the gold price in 2019! It was a strong 12.6x in 2019! The stock increased from $ 0.24 to $ 0.79 from January 2, 2019 to December 31, 2018. This corresponds to a percentage increase of 229.2%. The gold price rose by only 18.1% over the same period. Tudor Gold’s leverage was 12.6x (calculation formula: 229.2: 18.1 = 20.5). [Gold lever Tudor gold]
TOP NEWS 8: Tudor Gold’s drilling results in 2019 are world class! We have listed a few of the most spectacular drill results to date:
Drill hole GS19-42: 0.849 g / t Gold Eq over 780 meters including 1.275 g / t Gold Eq over 370.5 meters in the 300 Horizon section;
Hole GS19-47: 0.697 g / t Gold Eq over 1,081.5 meters including 0.867 g / t Gold Eq over 301.5 meters in the 300 Horizon section;
Drill hole GS19-52: 0.783 g / t gold Eq over 601.5 meters incl. 1.062 g / t gold over 336.0 meters in the 300 Horizon section;
Hole GS19-48: 0.793 g / t Gold Eq over 927.0 meters;
Hole GS19-49: 0.800 g / t gold Eq over 826.5 meters including 1.080 g / t gold over 249 meters;
Hole GS19-50: 0.681 g / t Gold Eq over 577.5 meters; Hole CB-18-39: 1,086 g / t Gold Eq over 563.8 meters
Tudor Gold has already managed to define a significant mineralization corridor on Treaty Creek. The currently known length of the northeast axis of the Goldstorm system is over 850 meters and the southeast axis is at least 600 meters. The system remains open in both directions and in depth!
The total size of this mighty gold system has expanded significantly with each step-out borehole! As can be seen in the recently released press release, Tudor is planning another step-out well 150 meters away in 2020. Not to be painted if a long gold mineralization section is found again! And the best thing is that mineralization at ‘Treaty Creek’ starts near the surface, which clearly speaks for a future open pit mine!
Tudor Gold has therefore defined the so-called ‘Horizon 300 Zone’. This means the area of the first 300 meters from the ground. As you can see in the above results, the ore grades are often even over 1.00 grams of gold per ton! This increases the economy of this world-class project enormously. The gold system is open on all sides and the overall size has not yet been fully defined. Thus, Tudor Gold’s flagship project still has enormous exploration potential!
The company plans to begin producing an initial resource estimate for Treaty Creek immediately after the 2020 drilling season is completed. We took the trouble to simulate a potential resource based on the conceptual exploration target for Treaty Creek of 1 billion tons of rock and various assumptions of ore grades (grams of gold per ton). We would like to emphasize that this simulation is based on an interview by Ken Konkin with Swiss Resource Capital AG in November 2019 and various variable assumptions!
Tudor Gold’s star geologist Ken Konkin, Vice President Project Development, gave an impressive interview in November 2019.
Tudor Gold’s ‘Treaty Creek’ – the next significant world-class project in stable and mining-friendly Canada (BC) [Conceptual exploration target Treaty Creek]
As more and more gold producers have to replace their mined gold resources in order to maintain constant gold production, we believe that demand for world-class projects in politically stable regions such as Canada and Australia will increase significantly. Projects such as’ Treaty Creek ‘by Tudor Gold should be at the top of the big producers’ shopping list. Because the flagship project ‘Treaty Creek’ is close to the infrastructure of roads and electricity in mining-friendly western Canada.
Should Tudor Gold actually manage to prove an initial gold resource of 22-32 million ounces by the end of the year, there would be a highly explosive revaluation of the share! Currently, the market capitalization is only around CAD 137 million. As I said, Tudor Gold has not released a proven resource yet, but the spectacular drill results from 2019 show that the company may be controlling a world-class ore body on Treaty Creek!
We have created a hypothetical valuation matrix for Tudor Gold. If a producer were willing to pay, for example, USD 65 for each ounce of gold after the publication of a gold resource, the value of the gold treasure (eg 20 million ounces) at Treaty Creek would be CAD 1.98 billion. Tudor Gold’s 60% stake in Treaty Creek would have a value of $ 1.19 billion or $ 7.80 per share. This corresponds to a price potential of an incredible 748%!
[Hypothetical assessment of Treaty Creek]
Since Tudor Gold’s Treaty Creek project is located in politically safe Canada, a substantial takeover premium should be extremely realistic if a major is taken over by M&A.
$ 90 per ounce of gold is also easy in the realm of possibility. The takeover value for Tudor Gold would of course be correspondingly higher – in theory it would be approx. 10.80 CAD per share! That is why in previous articles we allowed Tudor Gold a clear potential for excavators. We expect huge news flow from Tudor Gold in 2020, especially for the upcoming drilling season, which will be a combination of ‘infill’ drilling and ‘step-out’ drilling.
In addition, the mineralization zones begin near the surface, which strongly suggests that a large open open- cast mine may develop here. And it is known that Tudor Gold’s flagship project can be connected to a few kilometers away infrastructure (electricity and road).
‘Wild Card’:
Seabridge Gold is the adjacent neighbor to Tudor Gold’s Treaty Creek project and plans to bring the “KSM project” into production. Should this extremely costly mine project, with an initial cost of capital of $ 5.4 billion estimated, ever be financed and go into production, Seabridge plans to build a tunnel directly through Treaty Creek. As can be seen from various company presentations and on the Seabridge website, this so-called ‘ Mitchell Treaty’ tunnel (‘MTT’) is to be used to design an underground train system via which not only ore but also personnel and consumables are to be transported. As we can assess the situation from a distance, the possible tunnel is quite close to the potential Goldstorm gold system on ‘Treaty Creek’ – Tudor Gold will definitely not allow sterilization of your future resource!
In our opinion, this tunnel will only be possible, if at all, under very mutually acceptable conditions and at eye level with Tudor Gold! Otherwise, it would be hard for us to imagine how Seabridge would survive a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit if the planned tunnel ran straight through Tudor Gold’s future (potential) open pit mine.
Tudor’s Treaty Creek project is significantly closer to key infrastructure such as highway and electricity than its neighbor Seabridge Gold. Therefore, gold producers’ interest in Tudor Gold should also be greater. We also expect significantly lower capital costs to build a mine at Treaty Creek.

Summary of Highlights:
Prime location: Huge land package in the world-famous Canadian ‘Golden Triangle’ – more than 72 million ounces of gold have already been discovered within a few kilometers.
The Treaty Creek flagship project is adjacent to the largest world-class deposits and mines. (Seabridge Gold and Pretium Resources)
Top Management – Very experienced and successful team under the leadership of the renowned Walter Storm , co-founder of the Canadian mining company Osisko Mining . Ken Konkin , a multi-award winning geologist, has led the drilling program since 2019. He was instrumental in the discovery of Pretium Resources’ The Valley of Kings deposit. (8 million ounces of gold)
World-Class Drill Results at Treaty Creek Project:
The 2019 drilling program resulted in first-class continuous mineralization sections, for example Drill hole GS19-42: 0.849 g / t Gold Eq over 780 meters including 1.275 g / t Gold Eq over 370.5 meters in the 300 Horizon section;
Hole GS19-47: 0.697 g / t Gold Eq over 1,081.5 meters including 0.867 g / t Gold Eq over 301.5 meters in the 300 Horizon section;
Drill hole GS19-52: 0.783 g / t gold Eq over 601.5 meters incl. 1.062 g / t gold over 336.0 meters in the 300 Horizon section;
Hole GS19-48: 0.793 g / t Gold Eq over 927.0 meters; Hole GS19-49: 0.800 g / t gold Eq over 826.5 meters including 1.080 g / t gold over 249 meters;
Hole GS19-50: 0.681 g / t Gold Eq over 577.5 meters; Hole CB-18-39: 1,086 g / t Gold Eq over 563.8 meters
Enormous exploration potential – large parts of the exploration projects are still largely unexplored.
