“I was very pleased by the quality of the content, thanks for creating this event”

Rick Rule, CEO, Sprott Global Resource Investments

Dear colleagues,

We’ve arrived! We’ve always held a special place in our hearts for Canada and, as the centre for the mining industry we’ve appropriately decided on Toronto as the home for our first of many Mines and Money Americas events.

The last four years have been difficult for the mining industry, with commodity prices at historic lows. However, we’ve been here before. Do you remember the last mining downturn 2000 to 2003? That was just as bad. Just as the industry recovered then, it will start to recover in 2016 or if not 2017.

If you are serious about the mining industry, this is the time to be seizing opportunities. Mines and Money Americas provides you with the platform to do this.

Through a series of leading keynotes, interactive panels, roundtables and fireside chats with industry leaders you will learn how mining companies can adjust to the current market conditions and the exciting new investment opportunities spanning the Americas.

As an industry leader offering support to deal making and networking, we will also be offering a tailored one to one meeting planner for investors and mining companies. Please enquire upon booking. We would also like to welcome you to join us at the Gala and Awards Dinner to be hosted on September 27th, a real treat for mining and investment enthusiasts!

We look forward to seeing you in Toronto in September.

Kind regards,

Leon Walton Event Director Mines and Money

P.S. Mines and Money Americas also coincides with the relaunch of the Hockey World Cup www.nhl.com. Don’t forget to reserve your accommodation early!

Main Conference Day 1 – Tuesday, September 27th

See pages 22 & 23 for more details

14.50 Presentation: New Approaches to Project Financing – Putting some skin in the game; a model for engineering firms to partner with their clients and create alignment in achieving project objectives Many projects that have high potential fail to get off the ground or take very long to realize their value due to project facilitation funding constraints, particularly at the early stages. To address this market, DRA has, with strategic partners, jointly established an independent investment fund, Concentrate Capital Partners, aimed at early stage projects which meet the fund’s selection criteria. The fund will finance PEA, PFS and FS level projects and is intended as a vehicle through which DRA may participate in projects as a member of a financing consortium or minority equity partner, and as a technical and engineering partner. Concentrate Capital Partners will offer project and corporate finance, principal investment and technical consulting services to DRA’s client base. Andrew Naude, CFO, DRA Group Holdings

15.10 Presentation: Evaluating the potential benefits of adopting a crowd-sourced model for Valuing Exploration Projects and creating greater market efficiency through better price discovery • Understanding the potential pay out for success when there is no resource estimate or 43-101 economic study because of the restrictions securities regulators impose on companies with regard to “forward looking statements” • New approaches to overcoming the aversion of the financial advisory system to high risk high reward securities such as exploration juniors, created by regulatory efforts to “protect” investors by imposing “suitability” criteria • Understanding the implications of the regulatory attack on the “accredited investor” exemption which allows well-healed investors to fund juniors through private placements. • Creating a crowd-sourced outcome visualization system that generates a dynamic consensus potential outcome completely based on numerical assumptions – how would it work in practice? John Kaiser, CEO, Kaiser Research Online
