Water has become a strategic issue for the industry as it can be both a threat and an opportunity. As decisions about water have grown increasingly complex, new tools are being applied to enable holistic assessments of water management in mineral processing aimed at improving the performance of projects and reducing multi-hazard risks from early project stages. The course will draw on examples of existing and/or historic operations to explain the benefit of adopting modern best practices in water treatment, tailings management and risk informed decision making based on quantitative assessments.

BQE Water will be hosting its Annual General and Special Meeting for shareholders as noted below.

At the Annual General and Special Meeting for shareholders, the Board of Directors are seeking shareholder approval for the consolidation of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (the “Share Consolidation”) on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for each 100 pre-consolidation Common Shares. If the proposed Share Consolidation is implemented, the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding will be reduced from approximately 93,966,672 (as of the date hereof) to approximately 939,667. The Board of Directors believes the Share Consolidation will provide a capital structure that will better attract equity financing and enhance future growth opportunities.

Completion of the Share Consolidation is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Mine lives are getting longer and water plays an important part of the project life cycle cost. Net Present Value (NPV) is a standard metric for the financial evaluation of long-term projects but it does not include any potential uncertainties or risks in an explicit way. Often, discount rates are increased or special discount factors are introduced to “cover risks” which generates confusion and reduces the credibility and/or confidence in the outcome of the evaluation. This webinar discusses the pitfalls of traditional NPV and risk assessments, and presents examples of overcoming these issues with a Risk Adjusted Life Cycle Cost (RALCC) analysis approach that can be adopted during all projects stages.
