Falco Reaches Another Major Milestone and Confirms Admissibility of Its Horne 5 Project’s Environmental Impact Assessment

Falco Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: FPC) (“Falco” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the receipt of confirmation of the admissibility of its Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) for the Horne 5 Project located in Rouyn-Noranda (the “Admissibility”) from the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight Against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (“MEFCCWP”).

Since the initial EIA filing in 2018, Falco has completed extensive field work and studies, in addition to providing the documentation in order to respond to questions and requests for information raised by the MEFCCWP. Driven by ESG principles, the EIA was conducted by a multidisciplinary team comprised of Falco’s employees, experts and partners, and highlights the Horne 5 Project’s benefits and impacts on its physical, biological and human environments. The EIA includes various measures to avoid, mitigate or compensate for these impacts, and to enhance the project’s overall benefits, in a strong corporate governance environment. The EIA and all related documentation are publicly available on the Environmental Assessment Register of the MEFCCWP.

Luc Lessard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Falco noted: “In addition to the recent conclusion of the Operating License and Indemnity Agreement with Glencore Canada Corporation on January 23, 2024, the Horne 5 Project’s EIA Admissibility from the MEFCCWP constitutes another significant milestone in advancing closer to the development and realization of the Horne 5 Project. Falco’s team has been working extremely hard on the environmental permitting process, and the EIA Admissibility provides the path forward for the advancement of the Project. Although important steps remain, we strongly believe in the Horne 5 Project as a green and world-class polymetallic project that will benefit the surrounding communities. We would like to thank everyone involved at the MEFCCWP for their work and continued assistance throughout this process. Falco would also like to thank the communities of Rouyn-Noranda for their engaged and active participation and continuous support.”

Public Hearing Process

The EIA Admissibility allows Falco to progress towards the public hearing process to be hosted by the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement (“BAPE”) following the issuance by the MEFCCWP of a BAPE mandate to conduct such public hearing process, which notably involves a 45-day public information period, beginning April 24, 2024, in addition to a 4-month public hearing process. Falco’s stakeholders will be invited to this public information period which will allow them to meet Falco’s team, ask questions and obtain information on the Horne 5 Project. For more information, please refer to the following MEFCCWP link: https://www.ree.environnement.gouv.qc.ca/index.asp

Since 2019, Falco has been interacting and working with its host milieu and stakeholders, including its Consultation Committee. The comments, questions and ideas collected during these discussions have helped Falco gain a better understanding of the challenges and concerns of our stakeholders in order to develop a proposal for the Horne 5 Project that fosters the harmonious cohabitation of all stakeholders in the region with this mining project of a new generation.

Hélène Cartier, Vice President, Environment, Sustainable Development and Community Relations added: “We are extremely grateful to our stakeholders and host communities, who participate in our consultation activities and initiatives, allowing us to develop a great project for the Rouyn-Noranda region. We remain committed to continuing to develop a collaborative project and making it a source of pride for our communities. Our team is ready and proud to initiate the BAPE process.”

Falco Begins 2018 Donalda – Quemont East Drilling Program

Falco Resources Ltd. (TSXV:FPC) (“Falco” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced its 2018 exploration program on the Donalda – Quemont East target. An initial program of 20 holes for a total of 20,000 metres is planned to be completed.

In 2017, about 4,700 metres were drilled on the Donalda property. The drilling consisted of testing the extensions of the known mineralization and confirming historical results. Given its close proximity to the Horne 5 deposit, potential underground mineralization would be accessible from the Horne 5 future underground infrastructure. The 2017 Donalda targets consisted of a gold quartz vein system.

Falco Updates on Horne 5 Project Development and Exploration Activities

Falco Resources Ltd. (TSXV:FPC) (“Falco” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following update on its development of the Horne 5 Project (the “Project”), exploration and corporate activities.
HORNE 5 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT:
Community Relations and Permitting
The Company has continued its community outreach program and held on November 16, 2017 its initial project presentation and session in Rouyn-Noranda. Approximately 140 individuals attended the meeting and heard Company representatives outline the various aspects of the Project, and respond to their observations and questions.
The Company has also been advised by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (Government of Canada) on December 6, 2017 that the Project is not a designated activity under the Regulations Designating Physical Activities pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012. Therefore, the Project is not subject to the federal environmental assessment; however, there will be other federal authorizations to be obtained.
Pavillon Quemont School Construction
The Pavillon Quemont School (“Pavillon”) construction program is advancing very well. The building was erected, closed off and winterized prior to year-end. The Pavillon construction program is 30% complete and Falco is on schedule to deliver the Pavillon to the local school board of Rouyn-Noranda for September 2018. The relocation and construction costs of the Pavillon are estimated at $22.5 million.
Hoisting System Construction and Delivery of Key Components
Construction of the hoist building that will host the auxiliary and service hoists commenced in December 2017 and is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2018. The hoist building construction will enable the Company to start the mine dewatering and Quemont shaft rehabilitation efforts efficiently and safely.
Key auxiliary and service hoisting system components were shipped to site on December 22, 2017. The Company anticipates assembling the two hoists following the completion of the hoist building.
Acquisition Program
The Company also acquired land, surface rights and strategic buildings near the Project footprint. As such, the Company acquired specific infrastructure and buildings from third parties, exercised its existing option to acquire land from the city of Rouyn-Noranda, and signed several other agreements. The total purchase price of these acquisitions was $9.0 million.
Dewatering Program
Major equipment for the water treatment facility and pumping system were ordered. The water treatment facility components are expected to be received during the first quarter of 2018. The treatment facility and pumping system will have a capacity of 600 cubic metres per hour. The certificate of authorization required for the dewatering is still under review with the Québec Government. Other authorizations from a third party are also required to proceed with the dewatering program.
Detailed Engineering
The Company has commenced the detailed engineering and procurement of equipment shop drawings in relation to the Project. The current focus is the water treatment plant, the electrical sub-station and hoisting facilities. During most of 2018, detailed engineering will focus on the processing and mining sectors. The Company intends to have advanced and nearly completed the entire detailed engineering work program ahead of the start of surface construction.
EXPLORATION PROGRAM:
2017 Regional Exploration Program
The Company drilled about 54,500 meters, completed 77 drill holes, with three holes remaining to complete the 2017 program. A total of 25 targets were worked on during the 2017 regional exploration program. As of today, 13,250 out of 26,250 or 50 % of the samples analyzed have yet to be received from the assay lab. Thus far, the best intercepts included a shallow intercept at Lac Clericy (1.2 g/t Au over 9.1 m from 124.4 to 133.5 m), a deeper intercept at Noralex (1.4 g/t Au over 22.4 m from 407.6 to 430.0 m) and another intercept at Flavrian (1.3 g/t Au over 13.5 m from 325 to 338.5 m). Several targets of the 2017 program will require follow up with further drill holes and geophysical work in 2018.
2018 Donalda Exploration Program
On December 21, 2017, the Company closed a $8.5 million private placement financing to fund its 2018 exploration program. The bulk of the placement proceeds will be spent on the Donalda property and surrounding properties located near Horne and Quemont. The Donalda property is located 800 metres east of the Horne 5 deposit. In 2017, about 4,700 metres were drilled on the Donalda property, results are pending. The drilling consisted of testing the extensions of the known mineralization and confirming historical results. Following the reception of results, a preliminary NI 43-101 resources calculation will be initiated. Given its close proximity to the Horne 5 deposit, potential underground mineralization would be accessible from the Horne 5 future underground infrastructure. The Donalda targets consists of a gold quartz vein system, however the volcanogenic massive sulfide potential remains to be tested.
Luc Lessard, President & CEO, commented, “Over the past 3 years, the Falco team has been extremely active advancing the Horne 5 Project to its current state. In 2018, the team’s efforts will continue to intensify as we strive to replicate the development success of the world-class Canadian Malartic mine which was discovered, defined, financed, built and put in production, from first drill hole to first gold pour, in a little over six years, which several members of the Falco team were instrumental in achieving.”

Lawrence Lepard: "Big Print" Coming — Fully Expect US$5,000 Gold, US$200,000 Bitcoin

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Lawrence Lepard, managing director at EMA, voiced his thoughts on the outlook for gold and Bitcoin as the debt doom loop intensifies in the US.

"I call it a doom loop — it's a vicious circle in the wrong direction, which I believe will ultimately lead to the government having to say, 'Okay, this isn't going to work. We are going to institute yield curve control or QE, or we're going to buy the bonds,'" he explained on the sidelines of the New Orleans Investment Conference.

Lepard believes it's important to hold both gold and Bitcoin, noting that the only wrong allocation is zero.

Chris Temple: Gold's Next Leg Higher, Plus Uranium and Natural Gas in 2025

Chris Temple, founder, editor and publisher of the National Investor, outlined the main factors he sees impacting the gold price heading into 2025, saying the yellow metal will undoubtedly move higher.

In his view, its rise will come as market participants realize how many problems the US economy is facing.

"I think that once that reality sets in, gold will get its next big lease on life and the stock market is going to bog down. I think we're going to see a lot of rotation in the market that will start to favor real assets and real value — away from everybody chasing the same relative handful of stocks as we've seen," Temple explained.

WGC: Gold to Face Complex Drivers in 2025, Price Likely to Cool After Record-Breaking Year

The World Gold Council (WGC) has released its 2025 gold outlook, highlighting various macroeconomic factors, geopolitical risks and central bank activity as pivotal forces influencing demand and prices.

While 2024 saw gold achieve a stellar performance with a 28 percent annual increase, the outlook for 2025 is characterized by a mix of opportunities and challenges stemming from both global and regional developments.

The yellow metal has benefited from its historical role as a hedge against uncertainty, but the WGC forecasts that its performance next year will depend on other key variables as well.
