FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
This presentation includes certain “forward-looking statements’ within the
meaning of section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include without limitation,
statements regarding future production, potential mineralization and
reserves, exploration results and future plans and objectives of Taiga Gold
Corp. (Taiga Gold). Forward-looking statements can generally be identified
by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” will,” “expect,”
“intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” or “continue” or the negative
thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. There can be no
assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results
and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements.
At the beginning of the mining
industry downturn in 2012 Eagle
Plains Resources (EPL:TSX-V),
seeing an opportunity, focused on
acquisition of excellent gold
exploration projects in western
Canada
Eagle Plains had an advantage; its
expert in-house technical team
and healthy treasury were
available to make an opportunity
of this industry-wide crisis: a new
round of research and acquisition
of quality exploration projects
was initiated.
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 Seabee
Gold Operation in
March 2016 for a
$337m share deal
and becoming our
new neighbor
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
new shares on a 1 for 2 share basis:
Taiga Gold Corp
lists on the Canadian Stock Exchange
(CSE) 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 discoveries, some highlights
are:
• 2020 Winter drill program underway ~ 12,000m
• Exploration has focused along the Santoy Shear Zone
• 21,000m drilled 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 42-
person camp for 2020 winter drilling
• 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
