    Project Cash Flow (After-Tax) (Graphic: Business Wire)


    TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Generation Mining Limited (TSX: GENM; OTCQB: GENMF) (“Gen Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce positive results on the updated Feasibility Study (“2023 FS” or the “Feasibility Study”) for the Marathon Palladium-Copper Project (the “Project”) located near the Town of Marathon in Northwestern Ontario. The 2023 FS presents an optimized design for the Project with improved clarity on anticipated capital and operating costs in the current inflationary environment. The 2023 FS outlines the operation of an open pit mine and process plant over a mine life of 12.5 years and replaces the Company’s March 2021 Feasibility Study (the “2021 FS”).
    All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. All references to Mlbs are to millions of pounds and Moz are to millions of ounces and koz are to thousands of ounces.
    Highlights:

    • Robust economics1: An after-tax Net Present Value (“NPV”) at a 6% discount rate of $1.16 billion and Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 25.8% based on a long-term price of US$1,800/oz for palladium and US$3.70/lb for copper
    • Quick payback period on Initial Capital2,3: 2.3 years
    • Initial Capital: $1,112 million ($898 million net of equipment financing and pre-commercial production revenue), an increase of 25% from the 2021 FS
    • Low Operating Costs and attractive AISC: Life of mine (“LOM”) average operating costs of US$709/PdEq oz and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of US$813/PdEq oz 3 . Operating costs have increased 14% compared with the 2021 FS.
    • Increased Mineral Reserve Estimate: an increase of 8.5% in Mineral Reserves tonnages and a decreased open pit strip ratio
    • Optimized operation: increased process plant throughput and improved metallurgical recoveries over LOM
    • Average annual payable metals: 166 koz palladium, 41 Mlbs copper, 38 koz platinum, 12 koz gold and 248 koz silver
    • LOM payable metals: 2.1 Moz palladium, 517 Mlbs copper, 485 koz platinum, 158 koz gold and 3.2 Moz silver
    • Strong cash flows in first three years of production following commercial production: $851 million of free cash flow 3 , 580 koz of payable palladium and 132 Mlbs of payable copper
    • Jobs: Creation of over 800 jobs during construction jobs and over 400 direct permanent jobs during operations

    Jamie Levy, President and CEO of the Company, commented,
    “This updated Feasibility Study underscores just how robust the Marathon Project is, even in the current inflationary environment. This, combined with strong demand for critical minerals, makes the rationale for the Project becoming Canada’s next critical minerals mine more compelling than ever before. With the receipt of our Environmental Assessment approvals and our recently announced indicative offtake term sheets, we are advancing to arrange Project financing and working hard to obtain the permits necessary to start construction. The Project promises to be a near-term sustainable, environmentally sensitive, low-cost producer of critical metals that Canada and the rest of the world desperately need. On a copper equivalent basis, the Marathon Project, once in production, is expected to be one of the lowest CO2 equivalent intensity mines in the world. The metals we plan to produce will not only support emissions controls and the transition to a greener economy in Ontario and Canada, but they will also support job creation and economic prosperity for local, regional, and national stakeholders, in particular the First Nation community of Biigtigong Nishnaabeg and the Town of Marathon.”

Orogen now holds 44 royalty and mineral property interests including 23 royalties, 14 projects under option, two alliances, and five projects available for option or sale. Finally, we are very encouraged by the recent developments on AngloGold Ashanti's Silicon project in Nevada, where Orogen holds a 1% NSR royalty.

    Carbon Streaming Announces Financial Results for the Six Month Period Ended December 31, 2022

    https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230329005425/en/
    Carbon Streaming Founder and CEO Justin Cochrane stated: “As we build our high-quality, diverse portfolio, we are also excited to see several of our projects contributing positive sustainable impacts and advancing toward delivering carbon credits in 2023. We are particularly encouraged by Rimba Raya’s validation on the SRN under Reg 21 in December 2022 and look forward to the project meeting the milestones required to achieve verification. We expect 2023 to be a transformative year for Carbon Streaming as we anticipate receiving carbon credits or royalties from 10 or more projects with cash flow growth potential to follow.”
    Mr. Cochrane added: “This year is also expected to bring improved transparency to the voluntary carbon markets through several key industry initiatives, such as the publication of the Core Carbon Principles and the ISSB’s Climate-related Disclosures standards. Finally, we expect the number of companies with climate commitments to continue to rise. With these developing catalysts in the voluntary carbon market as our backdrop, we believe that demand for the carbon credits in our portfolio will only strengthen.”
