Gold Mountain Mining Corp. Signs Mining Contract With Nhwelmen-Lake LP

Gold Mountain Mining Corp. (TSXV:GMTN) ("Gold Mountain" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a signed definitive agreement with Nhwelmen-Lake LP ("Nhwelmen-Lake"), for contract mining services (the "Mining Contract") at the Elk Gold Project

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Gold Mountain will leverage the experience and expertise of Nhwelmen-Lake for mining and ore hauling services at the Elk Gold Property.
  • Nhwelmen-Lake will be paid a fixed price per tonne mined at a price that's in line with the Company's Preliminary Economic Assessment (the "PEA") metrics over the first three years, which is determined based on the planned production rate, mined volumes, haulage distances and equipment productivity.
  • The Mining Contract is for the life of mine while the price schedule carries a three-year term and gives Gold Mountain confidence in its forecast and cash flow to scale the business efficiently.

Kevin Smith, CEO of Gold Mountain further elaborates, "We started this company with an early commitment to transparent and inclusiveconversations with the Indigenous communities in the surrounding regions of our project. This contract is a result of those commitments and shows management's ability to deliver key partnerships in order to not only put the Elk Gold Project back into production, but also provide local communities an opportunity to participate. The Nhwelmen-Lake partnership is a major milestone for Gold Mountain and its shareholders. Having an established mining contractor and solidifying a well-defined cost structure, is one of the key pieces necessary in order to confidently go into production. Creating thirty full time job opportunities to the various communities in our region allows us to root ourselves in the long-term development of the local economy".

MINING CONTRACT
The Mining Contract lays out a partnership that gives Gold Mountain certainty in its mining and ore haulage capital and operating costs. Nhwelmen-Lake will leverage its experience in mining operations to ensure that the Elk Gold Project is operated in a safe, efficient manner while protecting environmental and cultural resources.

Nhwelmen-Lake will be paid a fixed price per tonne mined at a price that's in line with the PEA metrics over the first three years which is determined based on the planned production rate, mined volumes, haulage distances and equipment productivity. The scope of the Mining Contract includes mining of ore at a rate of 70,000 tonnes per annum (200 tonnes per day), waste mining, drilling, blasting, hauling, site supervision, supply of operating personnel, road maintenance, dust suppression as well as all the site preparation activities required prior to commencing mine operations, including topsoil stockpiling and preparing surface water management structures. Nhewelmen-Lake will also provide the haulage of plant feed material from the mine to the toll milling location at a fixed unit cost which aligns with the PEA.

The Mining Contract is for the life of mine while the price schedule carries a three-year term and gives Gold Mountain confidence in its forecast and cash flow to scale the business efficiently. The obligations of Gold Mountain under the Mining Contract begin upon Gold Mountain delivering a notice of commencement to Nhwelmen-Lake which the Company anticipates being in a position to deliver following its receipt of the Permit (see update below) and additional financing.

Mining Permit Update
Gold Mountain is pleased to provide an update on the progress of the Joint Permit Amendment Application that was submitted in May 2020 (the "Permit"). The Permit was accepted through the application screening phase of the application review and Gold Mountain has responded to the first round of technical review questions that were provided by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resources and Rural Development. Gold Mountain is anticipating a second (final) round of technical review questions from the regulators in the coming months prior to completing the Permit review process. The commencement of production at the Elk Gold Project is subject to Gold Mountain's receipt of this Permit.

Top Stories This Week: Gold Above US$2,500 as Powell Signals Rate Cuts, Kazatomprom Lowers Guidance

Gold reached yet another record high at the end of last week, crossing US$2,500 per ounce for the first time.

The yellow metal stayed above that key level until experiencing a pullback on Thursday (August 22), but breached US$2,500 again on Friday (August 23) morning. Gold is seeing support from quickly increasing confidence that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its next gathering, which is scheduled for September.

The central bank's July meeting minutes, released on Wednesday (August 21), show the "vast majority" of participants believe it will be appropriate to do so if economic data continues to show inflation is declining.

Gold Price Rises as Powell Signals "Time Has Come" for Rate Cuts

In a Friday (August 23) speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that adjustments to the central bank's benchmark rate are on the way.

“The time has come for policy to adjust. The direction of travel is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data, the evolving outlook and the balance of risks,” he said.

Powell noted that the 2.5 percent rise in inflation over the past 12 months has provided greater confidence that inflation is on a sustainable path toward the Fed's target level of 2 percent.

John Rubino: Gold, Silver, Miners — How to Invest with Global Financial System in Crisis

Speaking to the Investing News Network, John Rubino, who writes a newsletter on Substack, shared his thoughts on gold and silver, explaining their value as the global financial system reaches a crisis point.

"Gold is a big deal and it's becoming a bigger deal — and that's because it is real money," he said, noting that the yellow metal has been used as a store of value and a currency for thousands of years.

"With that kind of history, you can say with some degree of certainty that the next time we screw up the financial system, gold will behave the way it's always behaved — a lot of capital will flow into it, its price in local currency terms will go up and it'll protect people's purchasing power," Rubino explained during the conversation.
