Generation Mining Receives Senior Lender Credit Approval for US$310 Million from EDC, ING Capital, and Société GénéraleJune 17, 2026 6:00 AM
Business Wire Generation Mining Limited (TSX: GENM) (OTCQB: GENMF) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Export Development Canada (“EDC”), ING Capital LLC (“ING”), and Société Générale S.A. (“Société Générale”), collectively the Mandated Lead Arrangers (“MLAs”), have each received internal credit approval for a senior secured project finance facility for US$310 million, or approximately CAD $424 million (the “Senior Facility”) to fund the construction and development of the Marathon Copper-Palladium Project (“Marathon Project”), located on the north shore of Lake Superior in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. With the Senior Facility, an existing undrawn metals streaming agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals of CAD $200 million, and equipment leasing facilities totaling approximately CAD $145 million, Generation Mining has secured approximately CAD $769 million of the funding required to bring the Marathon Project into production. The receipt of credit approval from the MLAs represents a critical milestone in the project financing process and reflects the lenders' confidence in the Marathon Project's economics, permitting status, and strategic importance as a North American critical mineral’s producer. The Company continues to advance negotiations with subordinate debt lenders, surety providers and equity investors with a view of finalizing, and subject to definitive documentation, a fully financed project construction package. Jamie Levy, President and Chief Executive Officer states, “Receiving credit approvals from EDC, ING, and Société Générale is a landmark moment for Generation Mining and a powerful endorsement of the Marathon Project. These institutions bring deep expertise in mining finance and conducted extensive due diligence into the project. Their commitment signals strong confidence in our asset's economics and long-term value. With approximately CAD $769 million of funding approved to date and all permits in hand, we are firmly on the path to a construction decision and to becoming Canada's next major producer of copper and palladium — two metals critical to the global energy transition.” Mr. Levy also noted that, in the course of negotiations with the MLAs and prospective subordinate debt and equity investors, the Company determined that a portion of the previously announced senior debt commitment could be replaced with alternative sources of capital elsewhere in the capital structure, allowing the Senior Facility to be optimally sized. These discussions reflect interest from cornerstone investors in providing additional capital on terms the Company believes to be more efficient. If these arrangements are successfully finalized, the Company expects to provide a further update in due course. The Senior Facility is subject to final documentation including export credit agencies and a comprehensive intercreditor agreement. Final documentation will include customary project finance terms and conditions including satisfaction of a fully funded project construction package. The Company will now move forward with final documentation for the Senior Facility and in parallel finalize negotiations with subordinate debt lenders, surety providers, and equity investors. Assuming project financing is successful, construction is expected to commence in the second half of 2026. Advisors Endeavour Financial is acting as the financing advisor and A&O Shearman as legal advisor to the Company for the project financing of the Marathon Project.

GENM.TO THIS MINI MONSTER PALLADIUM PLAY IS READY TO SOAR

Generation Mining Delivers Updated Feasibility Study for Canada's Next Critical Mineral Mine - the Marathon Palladium-Copper Project
6:31 am ET March 31, 2023 (BusinessWire) Print
Generation Mining Limited (TSX: GENM; OTCQB: GENMF) ("Gen Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive results on the updated Feasibility Study ("2023 FS" or the "Feasibility Study") for the Marathon Palladium-Copper Project (the "Project") located near the Town of Marathon in Northwestern Ontario. The 2023 FS presents an optimized design for the Project with improved clarity on anticipated capital and operating costs in the current inflationary environment. The 2023 FS outlines the operation of an open pit mine and process plant over a mine life of 12.5 years and replaces the Company's March 2021 Feasibility Study (the "2021 FS").

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230330005863/en/

All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. All references to Mlbs are to millions of pounds and Moz are to millions of ounces and koz are to thousands of ounces.

Highlights:

Robust economics(1): An after-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") at a 6% discount rate of $1.16 billion and Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 25.8% based on a long-term price of US$1,800/oz for palladium and US$3.70/lb for copper Quick payback period on Initial Capital(2,3): 2.3 years Initial Capital: $1,112 million ($898 million net of equipment financing and pre-commercial production revenue), an increase of 25% from the 2021 FS Low Operating Costs and attractive AISC: Life of mine ("LOM") average operating costs of US$709/PdEq ozand all-in sustaining costs ("AISC") of US$813/PdEq oz (3). Operating costs have increased 14% compared with the 2021 FS. Increased Mineral Reserve Estimate: an increase of 8.5% in Mineral Reserves tonnages and a decreased open pit strip ratio Optimized operation: increased process plant throughput and improved metallurgical recoveries over LOM Average annual payable metals: 166 koz palladium, 41 Mlbs copper, 38 koz platinum, 12 koz gold and 248 koz silver LOM payable metals: 2.1 Moz palladium, 517 Mlbs copper, 485 koz platinum, 158 koz gold and 3.2 Moz silver Strong cash flows in first three years of production following commercial production: $851 million of free cash flow (3), 580 koz of payable palladium and 132 Mlbs of payable copper Jobs: Creation of over 800 jobs during construction jobs and over 400 direct permanent jobs during operations

Jamie Levy, President and CEO of the Company, commented, "This updated Feasibility Study underscores just how robust the Marathon Project is, even in the current inflationary environment. This, combined with strong demand for critical minerals, makes the rationale for the Project becoming Canada's next critical minerals mine more compelling than ever before. With the receipt of our Environmental Assessment approvals and our recently announced indicative offtake term sheets, we are advancing to arrange Project financing and working hard to obtain the permits necessary to start construction. The Project promises to be a near-term sustainable, environmentally sensitive, low-cost producer of critical metals that Canada and the rest of the world desperately need. On a copper equivalent basis, the Marathon Project, once in production, is expected to be one of the lowest CO2 equivalent intensity mines in the world. The metals we plan to produce will not only support emissions controls and the transition to a greener economy in Ontario and Canada, but they will also support job creation and economic prosperity for local, regional, and national stakeholders, in particular the First Nation community of Biigtigong Nishnaabeg and the Town of Marathon."

Following the 2021 Feasibility Study, the Company undertook considerable work to optimize and de-risk the Project, including:

Detailed engineering on the process plant, Tailing Storage Facility ("TSF"), and site infrastructure designs. Additional metallurgical test program to optimize the flowsheet and plant design and improve confidence in metallurgical recoveries. Results allowed the Company to remove the PGM-Scavenger circuit from the process plant design and lower the process plant unit-operating costs. Geotechnical investigations completed in areas of key infrastructure location and confirmed the locations chosen in the construction design. Additional diamond drilling of 18,995 m within the Marathon Deposit targeting key areas within the open pit Mineral Reserves in the first three years of planned production, and areas within and proximal to the overall Mineral Resources. Agreement finalized with Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation ("Hycroft") for the purchase of an unused, surplus SAG mill and an unused, surplus ball mill(4), which together with ancillary equipment allows the Company to increase throughput by 10% in the second full year of production. Community Benefits Agreement ("CBA") signed and ratified with the Biigtigong Nishnaabeg ("BN"), on November 12, 2022. Federal and Provincial Environmental Assessment approvals received on November 30, 2022. Initiated the process of obtaining various federal and provincial permits and approvals required to construct and operate the project.

Drew Anwyll, P.Eng, Chief Operating Officer, said, "Our team has been working hard to develop the Marathon Project and has successfully optimized and improved confidence in the designs of the process plant, the open pits and the necessary infrastructure for the Project. Detailed design will advance, and we will continue to de-risk the Project in anticipation of finalizing the Project financing and receiving approval of the required permits to commence construction later in 2023."

Upcoming Webinar:

For more information on the updated Feasibility Study please join Jamie Levy, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Kerry Knoll, Chairman and Director, and Drew Anwyll, Chief Operating Officer for a live event on Monday, April 3, 2023 at 10 am ET / 7 am PT.

Mining

The Company will mine using conventional open pit, truck and shovel operating methods. Three open pits will be mined over the 12.5-year operating mine life, with an additional two years of pre-production mining to be undertaken where waste material is being mined for construction and ore stockpiling ahead of process plant commissioning. The mining equipment fleet is to be owner-operated and will include outsourcing of certain support activities such as explosives manufacturing and blasting. Production drilling and mining operations will take place on a 10 m bench height. The primary loading equipment will consist of 660 tonne hydraulic face shovels (29 m(3) bucket size) and large front-end wheel loader (19 m(3) bucket size). The loading fleet is matched with a fleet of 246 tonne haulage trucks. A fleet of 90 and 45 tonne excavators will be used to excavate the limited volume of overburden material and will also be allocated to mining the narrow-thickness ore zones, mainly associated with the W-Horizon in the South Pit, to mitigate additional dilution.

Peak mining production will be 43 Mt per year (118,000 tonnes per day ("t/d")). Total material moved over the LOM is expected to be 460 Mt of which 128 Mt is ore.

The Marathon Deposit is well defined and characterized by ore outcropping on surface, with wide and moderately dipping mineralized zones.

The open pit operation includes a waste rock dump immediately to the east of the open pits and an ore stockpile (peak capacity of approximately 10 Mt) to the west of the pits, proximal to the crusher location.

Processing

The 2023 FS outlines the process plant throughput starting at 9.2 Mt per year (25,200 t/d) and increasing to 10.1 Mt per year (27,700 t/d) following the completion of the powerline upgrade scheduled year two of operations. The increase in process plant throughput is possible with the inclusion of the Hycroft mills in the plant design. The process plant will produce a copper-palladium concentrate ("Cu-PGM concentrate").

The process plant flowsheet includes a conventional comminution circuit consisting of a SAG mill, followed by a ball mill (an "SAB" circuit). With the added capacity of the Hycroft mills, the pebble crusher (included in the 2021 FS) is no longer required. The flotation portion of the process plant includes rougher flotation, concentrate regrind and three stages of cleaning.

The process plant metallurgical recovery (at the average head grade) is estimated at an average of 88.0% palladium, 93.5% copper, 75.3% platinum, 71.5% gold and 66.4% silver. The phase 3 metallurgical test program demonstrated the PGM-Scavenger circuit outlined in the 2021 FS is no longer required.

The flotation circuit design was revised to replace the Direct Flotation Reactors previously included in the 2021 FS with conventional open tank cells for the roughers followed by Woodgrove Staged Flotation Reactors(TM) for the cleaning circuit. Concentrate thickening, concentrate filtering, tailings thickening, water management and a TSF complete the flowsheet.

Site Infrastructure

The existing regional infrastructure in the area of the Project is well established and will allow for the efficient logistics associated with Project execution and operations, including the movement of the Cu-PGM concentrate to a third-party off-site smelter.

All site infrastructure facilities, including the roads and access, process plant buildings, workshops, warehouse, administrative buildings, water treatment plants, explosives plant, communication systems, power and power transmission line required for the Project during construction and operation have been considered in the Project design. Off-site infrastructure (including transload concentrate facility, assay lab and accommodation units) required to support the operation have also been included.

The TSF design includes downstream constructed embankments using run-of-mine waste rockfill with embankments founded directly on bedrock. The majority of the TSF area consists of exposed bedrock with a thin intermittent layer of sand and gravel. The upstream face of the embankments includes an HDPE Geomembrane to minimize seepage. The construction methodology includes bulk material placement with the mining fleet. Associated with the TSF are separate water management facilities which will ensure the protection of the environment.

Between 2007 and 2022, there have been 10 geotechnical site investigation ("SI") programs completed. The SI programs have focused on TSF foundation conditions and location of key site infrastructure, including the most recent drilling which focused on the process plant site, crusher, mine rock storage area and water management structures foundations. The recent and historical SI programs along with the 2021 detailed LiDAR(TM) topography and imagery survey have resulted in a good understanding of the geotechnical conditions for the Project.

Capital and Operating Cost Summary

The Initial Capital cost considers a construction timeframe of approximately 24 months followed by commissioning and ramp-up to commercial production(5) over a period of approximately six months. During the pre-commercial production, the costs and revenue associated with operations will be capitalized and are included in the capital costs.

Construction Indirect costs and General and Owner's costs are related to the expenses other than direct equipment purchases and direct construction costs.

Sustaining Capital items include future equipment purchases and replacements for the mining fleet and other site support equipment, the progressive build of the TSF over the LOM, and on and off-site infrastructure development to support the growth and contribute to operational improvements following initial construction.

The current capital cost estimate for the initial construction and the sustaining capital required during the LOM are shown in the table below. As noted above, this estimate represents a 25% ($224 million) increase to the initial construction capex reported in the 2021 FS. Within this increased capital cost, approximately 19% ($43 million) is due to scope changes, 71% ($160 million) is due to cost escalation and 10% ($22 million) with increased contingency.

About the Company

Gen Mining's focus is the development of the Marathon Project, a large undeveloped palladium-copper deposit in Northwestern Ontario. The Marathon Property covers a land package of approximately 22,000 hectares, or 220 square kilometers. Gen Mining owns a 100% interest in the Marathon Project and once constructed, it is expected to have a low carbon footprint.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company has included certain non-IFRS financial measures in this news release such as initial capital cost, cash operating costs and AISC per palladium equivalent ounce ("PdEq"), unit operating costs, and Free Cash Flow, which are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. For the reconciliation of cash costs and AISC, on both a per tonne and PdEq basis, please see the table set forth in the Capital and Operating Cost Summary above. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore, they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data presented is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.

Initial Capital includes all costs incurred from the Effective Date (excluding historical sunk costs) until the point where commercial production is achieved, including expenses related to engineering, equipment purchase and installation, process plant and mine infrastructure construction, and any other costs associated with putting the Project into operations. Initial Capital (Adjusted) includes all costs mentioned above in addition to adjustments for pre-commercial production revenue and equipment financing (net of payments, interest and fees incurred prior to commercial production). Operating Costs include mining, processing, general and administrative and other, concentrate transportation costs, treatment and refining charges, and royalties. Costs related to the Wheaton PMPA are excluded. AISC include Operating Costs, closure, and reclamation and sustaining capital. For the full reconciliation of cash costs and AISC, please see the Capital and Operating Cost Summary set out above. LOM Average AISC includes LOM AISC divided by LOM PdEq. LOM Average Operating Cost includes LOM Operating Costs divided by LOM PdEq. Free Cash Flow includes total revenue less Operating Costs, working capital adjustments, equipment financing, initial capital, sustaining capital and closure costs Palladium Equivalent ounces uses the formula PdEq oz = Pd oz +(Cu lb x 3.7 US$/lb + Pt oz x US$1000/oz + Au oz x US$1800/oz + Ag oz x US$22.5/oz) / US$1800 Pd/oz. The grades used are the average grades of the respective metals over the LOM.

Information Concerning Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources

The Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates in this press release have been disclosed in accordance with NI 43-101, which differs from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and information with respect to mineralization and Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources contained herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.

The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the "SEC Modernization Rules") with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. Under the SEC Modernization Rules, the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants included in Industry Guide 7 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will be rescinded and replaced with disclosure requirements in subpart 1300 of SEC Regulation S-K. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources." In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "Proven Mineral Reserves" and "Probable Mineral Reserves" to be "substantially similar" to the corresponding standards under NI 43-101. While the SEC will now recognize "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources", U.S. investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of Mineral Resources or into Mineral Reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources, or Inferred Mineral Resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the "Inferred Mineral Resources" exist. There is no assurance that any Mineral Reserves or Mineral Resources that the Company may report as "Proven Mineral Reserves", "Probable Mineral Reserves", "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the Reserve or Resource Estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves, and do not have demonstrated economic viability, but do have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are sufficiently well defined to allow geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed and permit the application of technical and economic parameters in assessing the economic viability of the Mineral Resource. Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied. Inferred Mineral Resources are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that Mineral Resources of any classification can be upgraded to Mineral Reserves through continued exploration.

The Company's Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource figures are estimates and the Company can provide no assurances that the indicated levels of mineral will be produced or that the Company will receive the price assumed in determining its Mineral Reserves. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. While the Company believes that these Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates are well established and the best estimates of the Company's management, by their nature Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates are imprecise and depend, to a certain extent, upon analysis of drilling results and statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. If the Company's Mineral Reserve or Mineral Reserve Estimates are inaccurate or are reduced in the future, this could have an adverse impact on the Company's future cash flows, earnings, results or operations and financial condition.

The Company estimates the future mine life of the Marathon Project. The Company can give no assurance that its mine life estimate will be achieved. Failure to achieve this estimate could have an adverse impact on the Company's future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Forward-looking statements reflect current expectations or beliefs regarding future events or the Company's future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "continues", "forecasts", "Projects", "predicts", "intends", "anticipates", "targets" or "believes", or variations of, or the negatives of, such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved, including statements related to mineral resource and reserve estimates, proposed mine production plans, projected mining and process recovery rates (including mining dilution), estimates related closure costs and requirements, metal price and other economic assumptions (including currency exchange rates), projected capital and operating costs, and AISC, economic analysis estimates (including cash flow forecasts, IRRs and NPVs) and mine life.

Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the statements. There are certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking information. These include the timing for a construction decision; the progress of development at the Marathon Project, including progress of project expenditures and contracting processes, the Company's plans and expectations with respect to liquidity management, continued availability of capital and financing, the future price of palladium and other commodities, permitting timelines, exchange rates and currency fluctuations, increases in costs, requirements for additional capital, and the Company's decisions with respect to capital allocation, and the impact of COVID-19, inflation, global supply chain disruptions and the war in Ukraine on the Company, the project schedule for the Marathon Project, key inputs, staffing and contractors, commodity price volatility, continued availability of capital and financing, uncertainties involved in interpreting geological data, environmental compliance and changes in environmental legislation and regulation, the Company's relationships with First Nations communities, exploration successes, and general economic, market or business conditions, as well as those risk factors set out in the Company's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in the continuous disclosure documents filed by the Company on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this news release speak only as of the date of this news release or as of the date or dates specified in such statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions relating to: the availability of financing for the Company's operations; operating and capital costs; results of operations; the mine development and production schedule and related costs; the supply and demand for, and the level and volatility of commodity prices; timing of the receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals for development Projects and other operations; the accuracy of Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates, production estimates and capital and operating cost estimates; and general business and economic conditions.

Yes...the Wheaton royalty agreement changed the entire picture

I've done well swing trading this one numerous times over the past year

Lost my most recent shares on this unexpected spike as I had a sell order just 15% above my last purchase.

I'm watching and hoping for a pullback

futr

Wonder whether maybe there was some news....

Yup https://genmining.com/news/2021/generation-mining-secures-240-million-stream-with-wheaton-precious-metals/

As detailed in the Marathon Feasibility Study released on March 4, 2021, over a 13-year mine life the Marathon Project is estimated to produce 1,905,000 ounces of palladium, 467 million lbs of copper, 537,000 ounces of platinum, 151,000 ounces of gold and 2,823,000 ounces of silver.


Hence, so it might seem that they own MORE than (just) ONE slam-dunk property ?


This might be a bullish chart.....Kinda looks like one (LONG term).....now
Would've been nice to have bought some last month.....But Lol....

Things may never be a slam-dunk until First Nations sign

I'm not selling here-

This company is in a great position SBSW will provide the capital,and the mine is a slam dunk.

Palladium took a hit today which is why this dropped today-
