Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. reported on progress on pre-construction activities for its proposed Goose Mine on the 100%-owned Back River Gold Project (Back River or the Project) in Nunavut, Canada. Back River camps are working safely under Sabina’s COVID-19 Protocol Operational Framework. Sabina continues to engage with relevant authorities to modify protocols based on new information to ensure company's measures are protective. Testing remains in place for all upon deployment and once on site. To date there have been zero cases of COVID-19 or any variants at camp. Over the last 17 months, as a result of Territorial regulation, Sabina has been unable to utilize any of company's Inuit employees. For those long-term employees, company's have maintained a food support program during this time. The Company is now in discussions with the Government of Nunavut and the Government of Northwest Territories on a back to work program that will safely see company's Inuit employees back at work at Back River in the near future. Sabina has continued to advance engineering activities for the plant process component and has now finalized these issued for construction (IFC) packages with Sacre Davey. The company has also progressed detailed engineering on the balance of the plant and ancillary facilities. Additionally, detailed engineering design for the Goose fuel farm is complete. Detailed design of site-wide water management structures such as the plant site pond, emergency discharge pond and creek crossings are anticipated by the end of 2021. Sabina has also advanced vendor certified engineering drawings (CE) packages with FLSmidth for all process plant equipment, Toromont for the main power generation and Industrial Equipment Manufacturing for conveyor and tower packages. A contract to provide drawings for the recently purchased permanent accommodation complex is also underway. Armtec Inc. has been contracted to design and supply a multiplate tunnel feature below the fine ore stockpile. In addition to the CE drawings FLSmidth is providing, Sabina has procured several long lead items for the crushing plant, all enroute to the Port Facility via the current sealift program. The Company has submitted all IFC packages to CGT Industrial, a prominent Arctic constructor, who are completing their scope and constructability review which will culminate in a fixed price lump sum bid with price certainty on all direct & indirect manhours with a commodity rise & fall mechanism. The rise and fall mechanism is required at this time due to current market volatility, remaining vendor pricing validity and timing of project financing. Tentative submission of this proposal is expected at the end of Third Quarter 2021. Sabina has purchased the design packages for the process plant and truck shop structures along with associated cranes and materials, which are enroute to the Port facility via the sealift program. Sabina has also procured the phase 1 open pit mining equipment required for early stripping which has the first pieces have now arrived at company's Port facility. Sabina’s procurement strategy in 2021 has focused on supporting the following critical path activities, which are targeted to be completed in 2022: Have sufficient civil works completed such that concrete foundations can be commenced for the process plant and truck shop, and that the permanent camp laydown area is of sufficient size to install the permanent camp complex; Have all equipment in place by YE 2021, in preparation for a decision to commence construction of a winter ice road, working from both the Goose and Port sites; and Ensure the open pit mining fleet is available to begin work in Second Quarter 2022.
