Mapping program at Awacha. In 2024, an Anaconda-style mapping program was completed over a 17-square kilometer area at the Awacha porphyry copper target in Ecuador. A total of more than 2,200 outcrops were studied and described by field geologists and subsequently compiled into a database. Interpretation of the data was finalized in early June, and the company engaged porphyry copper expert Dr. Steve Garwin to review the mapping data and identify the most promising porphyry targets in the Awacha area. Dr. Garwin has been associated with several major discoveries, including the Alpala porphyry copper-gold deposit at the Cascabel project in Ecuador.

Large zone of interest. Following the mapping program, a large zone of hydrothermal alteration that is greater than six kilometers by four kilometers was revealed during a review and interpretation of the data. The area of interest, coincident with magnetic and conductive anomalies that indicate the potential for porphyry mineralization, warrants additional field work to refine hole locations for a future drill program.

Aurania Resources (AUIAF) – Not the Best Way to Stimulate Mining Investment in Ecuador

New mining service fee. Ecuador implemented a new mining service fee, Tasa de Fiscalizacion Minera (TASA), on the resource sector. Aurania received notice of the fee associated with its project in Ecuador. The Ecuadorian Control and Regulation Agency (ARCOM) has requested payment of US$2,012,618 by July 31, 2025, representing one month of the total annual fee of US$24,151,420, to help fund ARCOM’s efforts. Because we do not anticipate significant negative repercussions associated with deferring payment, we think Aurania will withhold payment until it becomes clear whether TASA will stand in its current form.

TASA is being challenged. The new fee represents a significant cost burden for junior exploration companies. Multiple constitutional challenges have been filed in Ecuador and are being analyzed by the Court to determine if the claims will be accepted, which could take several months. If accepted, the constitutional challenges could take several years, and ARCOM may or may not be directed to suspend the collection of fees until claims are resolved. Reasonable accommodations will likely need to be made.

Aura Minerals’ Strategic Bet: Acquiring Serra Grande Gold Mine to Boost Growth in Brazil

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com
Key Points:
– Aura Minerals to buy Serra Grande gold mine from AngloGold for $76M plus royalties.
– The mine has produced 3M+ oz of gold, with Aura aiming to boost output and cut costs.
– Deal set to close by late 2025, pending regulatory and operational approvals.

Aura Minerals Inc. has announced a major step in its growth trajectory with the acquisition of the Mineração Serra Grande (MSG) gold mine from AngloGold Ashanti, in a deal that could significantly reshape the company’s position in Brazil’s mining sector. The transaction, valued at an upfront $76 million plus a 3% net smelter return on existing resources, reflects Aura’s confidence in the long-term potential of this historically productive asset.

Located near Crixás in the northwest of Goiás, Brazil, Serra Grande has been a cornerstone of AngloGold’s Brazilian portfolio, producing over 3 million ounces of gold since 1998. With three underground mines, an open-pit operation, and a metallurgical plant boasting a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year, the site is well-established. The acquisition marks Aura’s strategic return to a familiar asset – several team members have prior experience with Serra Grande, positioning them to optimize its future operations.

Rodrigo Barbosa, Aura’s President and CEO, emphasized the transformative potential of the deal. “Through our disciplined capital allocation, Aura 360 culture, and a targeted exploration program, we believe we can significantly enhance performance, boost production, reduce costs, and extend the Life of Mine at Serra Grande,” Barbosa said. He also hinted at ambitions to make Serra Grande a new cornerstone in Aura’s diversified portfolio, which already includes operations across Brazil, Mexico, and Central America.

However, the acquisition comes with conditions. It is contingent upon antitrust approval from Brazilian authorities (CADE), the completion of a legacy tailings dam decommissioning, and a corporate restructuring to spin off certain non-core subsidiaries of MSG. Barring unforeseen delays, Aura expects to finalize the deal by the third or fourth quarter of 2025.

From a technical standpoint, AngloGold’s last reported resource statement (Dec. 2024) estimated over 1 million ounces of Measured and Indicated gold resources, with an additional 1.4 million ounces classified as Inferred. While Aura considers these numbers as “historical estimates” and not compliant with Canadian NI 43-101 reporting standards, they highlight the untapped potential of the site. Aura plans to verify and potentially expand these resources through further exploration and technical work.

This acquisition reflects broader trends in the gold mining industry: mid-tier players like Aura are increasingly seizing opportunities to acquire under-optimized assets from global majors. The shift also demonstrates growing investor appetite for junior and mid-cap miners with clear value creation plans.

By reinvigorating a legacy operation with fresh capital, experienced leadership, and its unique Aura 360 philosophy—which balances profitability with environmental and social responsibility—Aura is making a bold statement. If successful, Serra Grande could represent not just an increase in output, but a model for revitalizing aging mining assets across Latin America.

As global gold demand remains resilient and macroeconomic uncertainty supports strong prices, Aura’s calculated risk may well pay off, cementing its role as a nimble and forward-looking player in the mining industry.

Investor webinar. Century Lithium recently discussed the Angel Island Lithium project during an insightful investor webinar. Key highlights included: 1) Angel Island is an advanced project with one of the largest lithium deposits in the United States, 2) the project employs a proven patent-pending process for chloride leaching, along with direct lithium extraction to produce lithium carbonate, 3) Century has a secured a 1,770 acre-feet per year water rights permit, and 4) the company has demonstrated its ability to consistently produce battery grade lithium carbonate on-site at its pilot plant in Amargosa Valley, Nevada.

Nearing completion of a Plan of Operations. Management expects to submit a Plan of Operations to the Bureau of Land Management within the next few months, which would enable the company to initiate the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) permitting process. We anticipate the NEPA permitting process could take between 12 and 24 months, depending on whether an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement is required. An environmental impact statement generally takes longer.

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Research News and Market Data on Alliance Resource Partners

April 28, 2025

2025 Quarter Highlights

  • Total revenue of $540.5 million, net income of $74.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $159.9 million
  • $57.7 million increase in net income and $36.0 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the Sequential Quarter
  • Added 17.7 million tons of contract commitments over the 2025 – 2028 time period
  • 2025 expected coal sales volumes over 96% committed and priced
  • Declares quarterly cash distribution of $0.70 per unit, or $2.80 per unit annualized

TULSA, Okla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: ARLP) (“ARLP” or the “Partnership”) today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the “2025 Quarter”). This release includes comparisons of results to the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “2024 Quarter”), and to the quarter ended December 31, 2024 (the “Sequential Quarter”). All references in the text of this release to “net income” refer to “net income attributable to ARLP.” For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and related reconciliation to its comparable GAAP financial measure, please see the end of this release.

Total revenues in the 2025 Quarter decreased 17.1% to $540.5 million compared to $651.7 million for the 2024 Quarter primarily as a result of reduced coal sales volumes and prices as well as lower transportation revenues. Net income for the 2025 Quarter was $74.0 million, or $0.57 per basic and diluted limited partner unit, compared to $158.1 million, or $1.21 per basic and diluted limited partner unit, for the 2024 Quarter as a result of lower revenues and a decrease in the fair value of our digital assets, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for the 2025 Quarter was $159.9 million compared to $238.4 million in the 2024 Quarter.

Compared to the Sequential Quarter, net income in the 2025 Quarter increased by $57.7 million as a result of higher oil & gas royalty revenues, which increased 18.7%, improved per ton costs at our coal operations, lower depreciation, and an asset impairment charge in the Sequential Quarter. Partially offsetting these increases, coal sales volumes declined 7.7% and the fair value of our digital assets decreased compared to the Sequential Quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the 2025 Quarter increased 29.0% compared to the Sequential Quarter.

CEO Commentary

“Our overall operations performed as anticipated during the quarter, delivering sequential and year-over-year cost improvements in the Illinois Basin,” commented Joseph W. Craft III, Chairman, President and CEO. “In Appalachia, we expect meaningful improvement in mining conditions for the rest of the year, leading to increased production and lower costs to fall within our 2025 full year guidance range.”

Mr. Craft continued, “We were active on the contracting front, securing 17.7 million tons of additional contract commitments over the 2025-2028 time period. For 2025, we now have over 96% of our projected midpoint coal sales volumes contractually committed. The domestic market strengthened considerably in early 2025 due to the cold winter season, higher natural gas prices, diminishing coal inventories, and upward revisions in electricity demand forecasts from our customers, who continue to recognize ARLP as a trusted partner for their critical baseload fuel requirements.”

Mr. Craft concluded, “On April 8, 2025, President Trump signed four Executive Orders to expand domestic coal-fired generation, seeking affordable electricity for the American people and grid stability in anticipation of growing energy demand which is critical for our country’s national security interests. The Executive Order addressing grid reliability cited that rapid technological advancements, an expansion of AI data centers, and increased domestic manufacturing are driving an unprecedented surge in electricity demand and placing a significant strain on our nation’s electric grid. The White House now forecasts that U.S. electricity demand is expected to rise 16% over the next five years, three times the growth forecasted just a year ago.”

Alpayana’s All-Cash Offer for Sierra Metals

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com
Key Points:
– Alpayana offers $1.15/share cash for Sierra Metals in a board-supported bid.
– Sierra Metals’ board recommends shareholders accept the premium offer.
– Experienced Alpayana extends bid deadline to May 12, 2025.

In a development that could significantly impact small and micro-cap mining investors, Sierra Metals Inc. (TSX: SMT) has announced an agreement in principle for an all-cash takeover bid from Alpayana S.A.C. and its Canadian subsidiary, Alpayana Canada Ltd. The offer, priced at CDN $1.15 per common share, represents a board-supported initiative that aims to bring Sierra Metals under the ownership of the experienced Peruvian mining firm.

This agreement marks a potential turning point for Sierra Metals, a Canadian company focused on copper production with additional base and precious metals by-products from its Yauricocha Mine in Peru and Bolivar Mine in Mexico. The all-cash offer provides a clear exit strategy for current shareholders at a defined premium, pending the finalization of a support agreement expected by April 30, 2025.

The CDN $1.15 per share bid has garnered the unanimous support of Sierra Metals’ Board of Directors and a special committee of independent directors. This endorsement is further strengthened by an oral fairness opinion from BMO Capital Markets, Sierra Metals’ financial advisor, which suggests the offer is fair from a financial perspective to the company’s shareholders, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Consequently, the Sierra Metals board will unanimously recommend that shareholders tender their shares to the Supported Bid.

Alpayana’s interest in Sierra Metals comes from a position of financial strength and extensive operational experience. Alpayana is a family-owned, private mining company with over 38 years of experience operating in Peru. Notably, the company boasts annual revenues exceeding US$500 million and is currently debt-free, indicating a robust financial foundation to support this acquisition. Alpayana emphasizes a commitment to sustainable and responsible mining practices, focusing on the well-being of employees, communities, and the environment. Their track record includes successful mergers and acquisitions and a long-term investment perspective.

To facilitate the transaction and provide Sierra Metals shareholders ample time to consider the offer, Alpayana Canada has extended the expiry time of its existing takeover bid to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 12, 2025. This extension suggests a commitment from Alpayana to ensure a smooth and considered process for shareholders.

For investors in the small and micro-cap space, this acquisition presents a potential opportunity to realize immediate value on their Sierra Metals holdings. The all-cash nature of the offer removes future market risk associated with the company’s stock. However, for those who believe in Sierra Metals’ long-term growth potential, particularly given its recent discoveries and exploration opportunities in Peru and Mexico, the offer might represent a premature exit.

The coming weeks will be crucial as the support agreement is finalized and Sierra Metals issues an amended Directors’ Circular with further details and its formal recommendation. Investors should carefully review these documents and assess their investment objectives in light of this developing acquisition.

Endeavour Silver Expands into Peru with Strategic Acquisition

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com
Key Points:
– Endeavour Silver enters Peru with a new silver-gold project, expanding beyond Mexico.
– Diversifies operations in a top silver-producing country for long-term growth.
– Strong exploration potential with high-grade mineralization and existing infrastructure.

Endeavour Silver, a mid-tier silver producer with operations primarily in Mexico, has signed an agreement to acquire a high-potential project in Peru. The acquisition aligns with the company’s long-term goal of diversifying its portfolio beyond Mexico while increasing its production pipeline.

The newly acquired project is located in a historically prolific mining district known for its high-grade silver and gold deposits. With existing infrastructure and promising exploration potential, the site offers Endeavour an opportunity to accelerate development while leveraging its operational expertise in underground silver mining.

For Endeavour Silver, expanding into Peru is a natural progression. The company has successfully built and operated several silver mines in Mexico, including its flagship Guanaceví and Bolañitos operations. By entering Peru, one of the world’s top silver-producing nations, Endeavour is positioning itself for sustainable growth amid rising global demand for silver and gold.

The deal also reduces the company’s reliance on a single jurisdiction, a move that could mitigate geopolitical risks associated with operating exclusively in Mexico. With silver prices showing strength due to increasing industrial and investment demand, Endeavour Silver’s expansion comes at an opportune time.

The newly acquired project boasts a combination of historical high-grade production and strong exploration upside. Preliminary geological assessments indicate the presence of high-quality silver and gold mineralization, suggesting strong resource expansion potential.

Endeavour Silver plans to commence a detailed exploration program, including drilling and metallurgical testing, to assess the project’s full potential. Depending on results, the company aims to advance toward development and production in the coming years.

For investors, Endeavour Silver’s move into Peru signals a commitment to long-term growth and value creation. Expanding into a new mining-friendly jurisdiction with a high-potential project could enhance the company’s production profile and profitability.

The announcement also underscores the broader trend of small and mid-cap miners looking beyond their traditional operating regions to capitalize on attractive, underdeveloped assets. As silver demand remains strong due to its industrial applications (such as in solar panels and electronics) and investment appeal, Endeavour’s strategic expansion could position it as a key player in the evolving market.

Endeavour Silver’s acquisition in Peru is a bold step that could redefine its future. By entering a world-class mining jurisdiction with a high-grade project, the company is strengthening its asset base while de-risking its geographic exposure. With exploration efforts set to begin, investors will be watching closely to see how the company unlocks value from this newly acquired asset.
