•  Запасы Мангазейского месторождения серебра компании Silver Bear

Resources, по российской классификации P1+P2,составляют 900М унций и по канадской классификации NI 43-101,62М унций.

•  Дополнительные извлекаемые запасы на лицензионном участке путём перевода 40% категории Р1 в извлекаемые запасы составляет 170М унций. Максимальный потенциал извлекаемых ресурсов приближается к 300М унций.

•  Руководство SBR разработало своё собственное ТЭО, которое показывает, что компания способна производить до 8М унций в год на протяжении более чем 25 лет, при стоимости производства менее $10/унцию, что позволит компании стать одним из ведущих производителей серебра в мире. Дисконтированная оценка NPV проекта равна $638 миллионов (8%,$30/унцию).

•  Сильная техническая команда менеджеров с большим опытом работы в России.

•  Мощная поддержка акционеров, включая российских стратегических партнёров.

•  Получен сертификат, устанавливающий факт открытия месторождения в 2012 году по результатам успешного выполнения программы бурения командой F&M.

•  Предложен вариант программы развития проекта для достижения положительного денежного потока от производства в короткий срок и сведения к минимуму требований к капиталу. Инвестиционный капитал в размере всего $50М позволит достичь производства серебра в объёме 2 М унций в год путём открытой карьерной добычи руды.

•  SBR ищет $50М для финансирования своего проекта и запуска производства; Инвестиционное предложение (Term Sheet) включено в Приложение 1.

Silver Bear’s property in Yakutia, Russia represents one of the world’s greatest undeveloped Silver plays. World class grades in the range of 500 g/t to 600 g/t of Ag on average. Some higher grade near surface ore lenses (800 g/t to 1500 g/t Ag) have been identified, and present a unique opportunity for Silver Bear to initiate the project. Exploitation of these near surface lenses greatly reduces mining capital while supporting robust cash flows for quick payback and funding future development. The property hosts a 35 km North/South mineralized Structural corridor. Over 160 mineralized anomalies have been researched along the mineralized corridor.

Лицензионный блок компании Silver Bear Resources в Якутии, Россия, является одним из самых больших неразработанных месторождений серебра в мире. Содержание серебра варьируется в диапазоне от 500 г/т до 600 г/т Ag в среднем, достигая высших показателей в мире. Залежи руды вблизи поверхности содержат 800 г/т - 1500 г/т Ag и представляют собой уникальную возможность инициировать проект. Первоначальная эксплуатация залежей руды вблизи поверхности значительно сокращает необходимые начальные инвестиции, генерирует положительные денежные потоки при быстрой окупаемости и позволяет финансировать будущее развитие проекта. На территории лицензированного участка располагается 35 км коридор минерализованных структур, проходящий с севера на юг. Вдоль этого коридора были проведены исследования более чем 160 минерализованных аномалий.
