Generation Mining Limited (TSX:GENM, OTCQB: GENMF) (“Gen
Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that
Generation PGM Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary developing the
Marathon Copper-Palladium Project, has been awarded up to $771,000
from the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund (CMIF) pending final
due diligence. The CMIF is a key program under the Canadian
Critical Minerals Strategy to address infrastructure gaps, enable
critical minerals production and connect resources to markets
through various clean energy, electrification and transportation
infrastructure projects.
Jamie Levy, President and CEO says, “Our Marathon
Copper-Palladium Project is one of the most advanced projects in
Canada. Support from the Government of Canada’s Critical Minerals
Infrastructure Fund will be used to advance work on transportation
infrastructure while we continue to work towards securing
construction financing. With all federal approvals for construction
having been obtained, and only 3 outstanding provincial permits
expected to be granted by year-end, the work undertaken with this
funding could support construction activities in 2025.”
Generation PGM Inc. is planning to complete engineering and
design work and feasibility studies for road and rail links to
support the movement of copper concentrates from their mining
project located near Marathon, Ontario to smelters in Canada and
Europe. As part of this work, we intend to upgrade the 5-kilometre
site access road, and develop a new 4-kilometre access road and a
transload facility to transfer concentrates.
About Generation Mining Limited
Gen Mining’s focus is the development of the Marathon Project, a
large undeveloped copper-palladium deposit in Northwestern Ontario,
Canada. On May 31, 2024, the Company filed an Amended Feasibility
Study Update for the Marathon Project with an effective date of
December 31, 2022 (the “Feasibility Study”).
The Feasibility Study estimates a Net Present Value (using a 6%
discount rate) of C$1.16 billion, an Internal Rate of Return of
25.8%, and a 2.3-year payback. The mine is expected to produce an
average of 166,000 ounces of payable palladium and 41 million
pounds of payable copper per year over a 13-year mine life (“LOM”).
Over the LOM, the Marathon Project is anticipated to produce
2,122,000 ounces of palladium, 517 million lbs of copper, 485,000
ounces of platinum, 158,000 ounces of gold and 3,156,000 ounces of
silver in payable metals. For more information, please review the
