Being an advocate for change. All thanks to Gosia P. I have celebrated the trending desire to reduce carbon footprint generated from our mines globally. The capacity of the mines (tonnes produced per hour) has a significant correlation with the emissions in our conventional mines system. I had used Lego Serious play to critically think. Diverging to gather information and then converging into one most logically, innovative outcome. Electric mines will reduce carbon footprint in mines but the questions from my critical thinking are: 1. How will the electricity be generated will it be the same carbon emission process? 2. Will there be energy looses along the process, from generation units till it gets to the mines for use? 3. How sustainable is the process? If we have a clean process in mining operations but generate more emissions at the electricity generation aspect of the supply chain. We have not solved the problem but shifted the blame from mines to others. We have also added to the amount of energy produced for handling a tonne from our mines as systems always have losses or leakages as the case may be. My conclusion in my divergent process is to have a system that is driven from generated clean energy sources. I am not talking of wind it’s not sufficient and not sustainable. I am talking of hydrogen fusion. We will not get it right in our fight to address global carbon emissions if we don’t invest at solve the root cause. Thanks to teams in the UK, Europe, USA working in this light. We can do more. I think the move for electrically driven mines operation is the way forward and I is a step to take but true global success will come when we fuse this move in our mines with clean electricity generation. I hope we get our global breakthrough in hydrogen fusion. Kudos to International mining.

Harfang has exercised its option to earn 100% interest in the Egan Property in exchange for a combination of cash and shares. The Egan Property is centrally located in the heart of Ontario’s prolific Abitibi gold camp, proximal to mining operations in Timmins, Kirkland Lake, and Matachewan. Recall on August 31, 2022, Harfang had announced preliminary results from a completed soil geochemical survey.   The Egan Gold Property is strategically located in the heart of Ontario's Abitibi gold camp near Matheson and was initially optioned by LaSalle Exploration Corp. (amalgamated into Harfang), based on the discovery of the E1 Zone during logging activities. Exploration work to date has generated several high priority targets that validate the 2021 soil geochemistry results.   Previously, Lasalle had acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Egan Property by making in total $350,000 in cash payments, issuing 700,000 shares, and incurring $400,000 in exploration expenditures. Harfang following a cash payment of $27,554 and the issuance of 510,670 common shares, shall earn 100% interest in the Egan Property, subject to a 2% NSR royalty in favour of the vendors.   We highlight that Harfang has developed a solid portfolio of projects favorable for precious and critical metals in Québec and Ontario.   See end: https://lnkd.in/etkAwyJ3   https://lnkd.in/evCXr96k #ontario #matachewan #egan #gold

⚒️ Title: 3 Considerations Beyond Grade When Finding Opportunity in Mining 1. Understanding #Deposit Type: In mining investment decisions, understanding the deposit type is fundamental. Different deposit types, such as skarns and porphyries, present unique challenges and opportunities that significantly influence project feasibility and economic viability. For example, scarns like Antamina, are truly impressive deposits including in size, however this is atypical. Skarn deposits are more complex systems and more often than not can encounter challenges in the exploration and development stages related to continuity and grade, and often can shrink in size during the resource drilling. Porphyry deposits, on the other hand, often reveal more ore potential as exploration progresses. Understanding these nuances is crucial, primarily since investment communities rarely discuss such complexities. 2. #Infrastructure's Impact on Project Viability: The role of infrastructure in mining investments is critical and full value often os underappreciated. The presence and quality of infrastructure, including roads, power, and industrial transportation corridors such as ports or intermodal transportation (rail), often determine whether mines can weather economic cycles and keep construction costs on budget. Quality infrastructure investments enhance productivity and ensure project sustainability. Moreover, cost overruns in mining projects are frequently linked to challenges related to infrastructure, particularly in areas with rugged elevations and logistics, highlighting the importance of robust infrastructure planning. 3. #Elevation: The High-Altitude (3500 m +) Challenge: Elevation is a crucial factor in mining operations. Mines at high altitudes, such as those in the Andes, encounter unique challenges, including health risks like altitude sickness, equipment functionality issues in thin air, and logistical complexities. These factors can significantly impact workforce efficiency, safety, and operational costs. Mining companies need to adapt their strategies to manage these challenges effectively. 4. The McClintock Group Approach: Mining with Foresight: The McClintock Group considers these aspects vital in uncovering opportunities in the mining sector. We focus on unlocking value by understanding geological nuances, the pivotal role of infrastructure, and the unique challenges of different mining environments. This approach helps identify and capitalize on sustainable and profitable mining opportunities. We invite stakeholders to learn more about how we represent and assist investors and provide technical advice and strategic oversight to ensure quality projects advance with capital efficiency in mind. #MiningInvestment #McClintockGroup #MiningInsights #Evaluations #AddingValue #Execution #ResourceOpportunities #CriticalMinerals #VRIC #AMECRoundup2024 #TSXV

📍Mining Insight: 3 Factors that Matter When Developing a Mineral Project Often projects are promoted and compared on grade and interceptions. I've notice this more and more in the industry. Though this is important information it seems far to often be the main criteria accessing opportunity for investors. Mining and exploration sucess is often much more nuanced in which success of a project is dependent on a range of factors and advantages that often are over looked or not fully appreciated. Here are three additional considerations that are important to keep in mind with any project evaluation. #ProjectValuation #Mining #Roundup #VRIC #Exploration
