MAG SILVER CORP.

C$10.25 Per Offered Share

7,320,000 Common Shares

 

This short form prospectus qualifies the distribution (the “Offering”) of 7,320,000 Common Shares (the “Offered Shares”) of MAG Silver Corp. (the “Company” or “MAG”) at a price of C$10.25 per Offered Share (the “Offering Price”). The Offered Shares will be sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated June 27, 2014, as amended, between the Company and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Raymond James Ltd., Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd., Scotia Capital Inc., H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC, National Bank Financial Inc., TD Securities Inc. and PI Financial Corp. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC is not registered as a dealer in any Canadian jurisdiction and, accordingly, will only sell Common Shares into the United States and will not, directly or indirectly, solicit offers to purchase or sell the Common Shares in Canada. The Offering Price has been determined by negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters. See “Plan of Distribution”.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE COMMON SHARES NOR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS SHORT FORM PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

This offering is made by a foreign private issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this short form prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included or incorporated herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the Common Shares described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and Canada, including the Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a foreign controlled Canadian corporation that acquires Offered Shares. This short form prospectus may not fully describe such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, that some or all of its officers and directors are Canadian residents, that some or all of the experts named in the registration statement are Canadian residents, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and said persons may be located outside the United States.

The outstanding Common Shares of the Company are listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “MAG” and on the NYSE Market LLC (the “NYSE MKT”) under the symbol “MVG”. On June 25, 2014, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offering, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX and NYSE MKT was C$11.15 and US$10.44, respectively.

Notes:

(1)

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay to the Underwriters a fee equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (the “Underwriters’ Fee”). See “Plan of Distribution” for a description of all compensation payable to the Underwriters.

(2)

After deducting the Underwriters’ Fee, but before deducting expenses of the Offering, estimated to be C$500,000, which will be paid from the proceeds of the Offering.

(3)

The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters at any time until the date which is 30 days following the Closing Date, to purchase up to an additional 1,098,000 Common Shares of the Company at a price of C$10.25 per Common Share (the “Over-Allotment Shares”), to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total price to the public, the Underwriters’ Fee and the net proceeds to the Company (before deducting expenses of the Offering), will be C$86,284,500, C$4,314,225 and C$81,970,275, respectively. This short form prospectus also qualifies the distribution of the Over-Allotment Shares to be issued or sold upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. A purchaser who acquires Over-Allotment Shares forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires those Over-Allotment Shares under this short form prospectus, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Offered Shares” includes any Over-Allotment Shares issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. See “Plan of Distribution”.

The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Offered Shares, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Company and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement referred to under “Plan of Distribution” and subject to approval of certain Canadian legal matters on behalf of the Company by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, certain United States legal matters on behalf of the Company by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, certain Canadian legal matters on behalf of the Underwriters by Stikeman Elliott LLP and certain United States legal matters on behalf of the Underwriters by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. In connection with the Offering and subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Offered Shares at levels other than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time and must be brought to an end after a limited period. See “Plan of Distribution”. The Underwriters may offer the Offered Shares at prices lower than the Offering Price. Notwithstanding any reduction by the Underwriters on the Offering Price, the Company will still receive net proceeds of C$9.7375 per Offered Share purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Subscriptions for the Offered Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. Closing is expected to take place on or about July 16, 2014, or such other date as may be agreed between the Company and the Underwriters but in any event not later than 42 days following the date of a final receipt for the final prospectus (the “Closing Date”). Certificates (in physical or electronic form) representing the Offered Shares will be issued on the Closing Date.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements and information. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements and information due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including without limitation, those referred to in this short form prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors” and documents incorporated by reference herein. The Company’s forward-looking statements and information are based on the reasonable beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made and, other than as required by applicable securities laws, the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements and information if circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions should change.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A registration statement on Form F-10 has been filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) in respect of the distribution of the Offered Shares. The registration statement, of which this short form prospectus constitutes a part, contains additional information not included in this short form prospectus, certain items of which are contained in the exhibits to such registration statement, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

In addition to the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations under the securities laws of the provinces of Canada, the Company is subject to the information requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”), and in accordance therewith the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC reports and other information. The reports and other information that the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC are prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada, which differ in certain respects from those of the United States. As a foreign private issuer, the Company is exempt from the rules under the U.S. Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the U.S. Exchange Act. In addition, the Company may not be required to publish financial statements as promptly as U.S. companies. Copies of any documents that the Company has filed with the SEC may be read at the SEC’s public reference room at Room 1500, 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C., 20549. Copies of the same documents may also be obtained from the public reference room of the SEC by paying a fee. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 or access its website at www.sec.gov for further information about the public reference room.

Additional information about the Company and its business activities is available under the Company’s profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) at www.sedar.com and on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) at www.sec.gov.

DOCUMENTS FILED AS PART OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents have been or will be filed with the SEC as part of the registration statement on Form F-10 of which this short form prospectus forms a part: (a) the documents referred to under the heading ‘‘Documents Incorporated by Reference’’; (b) consents of each of the following: Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Stikeman Elliott LLP, Deloitte LLP, Jason Cox, Holger Krutzelmann, Michael Thomas, Henrik Thalenhorst, Alan Riles, David Ross and Dr. Peter Megaw; (c) the Underwriting Agreement; and (d) powers of attorney from certain of the Company’s directors and officers (included on the signature pages of the registration statement).

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS

Technical disclosure regarding the Company’s properties included or incorporated by reference herein (the “Technical Disclosure”) has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of the United States securities laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the Technical Disclosure uses terms that comply with reporting standards in Canada and certain estimates are made in accordance with National

 

iv


Table of Contents

Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities administrators (“NI 43-101”). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral resource estimates contained in the Technical Disclosure have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Classification System. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, and resource information contained in the Technical Disclosure may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under U.S. federal securities laws.

The definitions of proven and probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in SEC Industry Guide 7. In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Additionally, disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws, however the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measurements. Accordingly, information contained in the Technical Disclosure may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Summary Description of Business

The Company is a Vancouver-based mineral exploration company that is focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral exploration properties, with its primary focus being grassroots district scale silver projects located in the Mexican Silver Belt in Mexico. The principal properties of the Company include the Company’s 44% interest in the Juanicipio Joint Venture, a primarily silver exploration and development project (the “Juanicipio Project”), and its 100% owned Cinco de Mayo property, a silver, gold, lead and zinc exploration project (the “Cinco de Mayo Property”). The Company currently considers the Juanicipio Project and the Cinco de Mayo Property to be its material properties for the purposes of NI 43-101.

The Company also owns or holds an interest in a number of other property assets in Mexico.

Principal Projects

Juanicipio Project

The Juanicipio Project is located in the Fresnillo District, Zacatecas State, Mexico, approximately 6 kilometres west of the mining town of Fresnillo, and covers approximately 7,679 hectares. The Company initially acquired a 100% interest in the Juanicipio Project in 2002. From 2005 to 2007, Peñoles earned a 56% interest in the Juanicipio Project by conducting US$5,000,000 of exploration on the property and purchasing US$1,000,000 worth of Common Shares of the Company at market price at the time of purchase. In December 2007, Lagartos and Peñoles established Minera Juanicipio to hold and operate all mineral and surface rights related to the Juanicipio Project. Minera Juanicipio is governed by a shareholders agreement dated October 10, 2005 (the “Shareholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, each shareholder is to provide funding pro rata to its interest in Minera Juanicipio, with Fresnillo contributing 56% and the Company, through Lagartos, contributing 44%, respectively.

The Juanicipio Project hosts, at this time, three significant high grade silver (gold, lead and zinc) veins: the Valdecañas Vein, with its footwall offshoot the Desprendido Vein and the Juanicipio Vein. In 2014, the Amended Technical Report was authored by RPA. Fresnillo prepares its own internal resource estimate annually. Fresnillo’s estimates are not prepared in compliance with NI 43-101, and were not used in the Amended Technical Report and are not relied upon by the Company.

Cinco de Mayo Property

The 100% owned Cinco de Mayo Property is located approximately 190 kilometres northwest of the city of Chihuahua, in northern Chihuahua State, Mexico, and covers approximately 25,113 hectares. The primary concessions of Cinco de Mayo Property were acquired by way of an option agreement dated February 26, 2004, and the property remains subject to a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty.

Other Exploration Properties

The Company also holds interests in various other early stage exploration properties located in Mexico. The Company continues to evaluate exploration opportunities both on currently owned properties and on new prospects.

Executive Summary

RPA was retained by MAG to update the mineral resource estimate and prepare an independent Technical Report on the Juanicipio Joint Venture in Zacatecas State, Mexico. This Technical Report conforms to NI 43-101. MAG requires this report to support the updated mineral resource estimate for the property prepared by RPA and disclosed in a press release. RPA has visited the property several times, most recently on May 27, 2014. This Technical Report was amended as of June 30, 2014, to include enhanced cautionary language.

The Juanicipio property is owned by Minera Juanicipio, a joint venture between Fresnillo plc (Fresnillo, 56%) and MAG (44%), with Fresnillo acting as the operator. The major asset associated with the Juanicipio Joint Venture is a silver-gold-lead-zinc epithermal vein deposit.

An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) was carried out by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. (“AMC”) in 2012 (the “2012 PEA”). The study defined Juanicipio as an economically robust, high-grade underground silver project exhibiting minimal financial or development risks that will produce an average of 15.1 million payable ounces of silver over the first full six years of commercial production and 10.3 million payable ounces per year over a 14.8 year total mine life. The 2012 PEA did not take into account any potential mining, processing, or infrastructure synergies from any association with the adjoining property owned by Fresnillo. The 2012 PEA was based on the resource estimate and model developed by Strathcona Mineral Services (“Strathcona”) dated November 2011.

The economic analysis in the PEA is preliminary in nature and is based, in part, on Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

On October 28, 2013, MAG announced that the Joint Venture had commenced underground development. The ramp advancement work is being conducted by a contractor using a conventional drill and blast method and a continuous miner where possible.

Conclusions

MAG and joint venture partner Fresnillo have made a major discovery of low-sulphidation epithermal vein mineralization, located in the southwest part of the world-class Fresnillo silver mining district. The discovery is located in the northeast corner of the property and consists of two silver-gold-lead-zinc epithermal structures known as the Valdecañas and Juanicipio vein systems. Most exploration on the property has focused on these two vein systems. There is good exploration potential remaining at the Juanicipio Vein and elsewhere on the property, which remains largely underexplored. A significant exploration budget is warranted.

The updated Mineral Resource estimate reflects the drill results available as of December 31, 2013 including 40 new infill diamond drill holes completed since the previous resource estimate. The new estimate demonstrates a conversion of previously classified Inferred Resources into the Indicated category and reports a deep lower grade resource separately. The Mineral Resources on the Juanicipio Property are contained within the Valdecañas Vein system and the Juanicipio Vein. The updated resource estimate uses a cut-off of US$70/tonne Net Smelter Return (“NSR”), which includes values for silver, gold and base metals.

The Valdecañas and Juanicipio Veins display the vertical grade transition from upper silver rich zones to deep gold and base metal dominant areas that is typical of Fresnillo District veins, and epithermal silver veins in general. Previous resource estimates were largely based on the upper silver rich zones with limited influence from the deep base metal dominant zone. The recent infill drilling has greatly improved discrimination of the vertical compositional zonations, allowing the updated Mineral Resource estimate reported here to be manually divided into the upper Bonanza Grade Silver Zone (“BGS Zone”) and the Deep Zone (Tables 1-1 and 1-2). This division highlights both the improved confidence in the BGS Zone, through conversion of previously categorized Inferred Resources into Indicated Resources, and the initial definition of the Deep Zone.

The increased drill density provides a better understanding of the vein geometry and indicates that the Valdecañas Vein comprises two overlapping “en-echelon” veins rather than a single vein offset by a fault. This reveals an area of overlap, with incrementally increased tonnage, especially in the BGS Zone. A number of new holes, targeted below the

limits of the previous resource estimate, intersected significant widths (10.5 m to 25.8 m true thickness) of lower grade mineralization, which combined with previous deep intercepts led to the definition of the new Deep Zone resource.

In RPA’s opinion the Juanicipio project has the potential to be developed into an economically robust, high-grade underground silver project. Further drilling and investigation work aimed at upgrading Inferred Mineral Resources and increasing the geotechnical and hydrogeological understanding of the deposit is required to form a firm base for the next stage of project design and evaluation.

RPA notes several changes since the 2012 PEA that would have an insignificant impact on the overall economic results:

 

  ·  

Updated Mineral Resource as described in this report

 

  ·  

Metal Prices

 

  ·  

Payment Terms for concentrate

 

  ·  

Cost Escalation

 

  ·  

New Gold and Silver Tax (0.5% Gross Revenue)

 

  ·  

New Mining Tax (7.5% on EBITDA)

 

  ·  

Increased Corporate Tax rate (30% from 28%)

 

  ·  

Increase in cut-off grade used to report Mineral Resources

RPA would expect an updated PEA to have similar economic results as the 2012 PEA.

Recommendations

The Juanicipio property hosts a significant silver-gold-lead-zinc deposit and merits considerable additional exploration and development work. RPA recommends a budget of US$22.6 million (Table 1-3) for 2014 to advance the access ramp to the Valdecañas vein system and to explore elsewhere on the property. Work should include:

 

  ·  

Continuing to advance the underground access ramp. The budget in the 2012 PEA estimates this work to be $11.4 million with MAG’s 44% share being $5 million.

 

  ·  

10,000 m of drilling at the Valdecañas vein system to obtain a drill hole spacing no greater than 100 m in both the along-strike and up- and down-dip directions.

 

  ·  

10,000 m of drilling for a property-wide exploration program including mapping, and drilling of new targets. Key criteria should be known mineralization, lineaments, and alteration.

In addition to the ramp advancement and continued drilling, RPA recommends the continuation of the environmental, engineering, and metallurgical studies as recommended in the 2012 PEA.

History

Silver mineralization in the Fresnillo area was discovered in 1554. Although no records exist prior to the 1970s, the Juanicipio property was likely prospected sporadically over the years because of its proximity to the Fresnillo mining area.

Industrias Peñoles S.A. de C.V. (“Peñoles”) drilled several holes to the northeast of the property in the 1970s and 1980s. Detailed exploration of the areas adjoining the Juanicipio property was initiated by Fresnillo in 2006 based on results from the Valdecañas Vein discovery.

From 1998 to 2001, Minera Sunshine S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Sunshine”) completed an exploration program consisting of property-wide geological mapping, preliminary rock chip sampling, and Landsat image and air photo analysis. This was followed by more detailed geological mapping in areas of interest, additional Landsat image analysis, detailed geochemical sampling, and a limited Natural Source Audio Magnetotelluric (“NSAMT”) geophysical survey. Drilling targets were identified, prioritized and fully permitted but never drilled due to Minera Sunshine’s bankruptcy.

In July 2002, Minera Lagartos S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Lagartos”) optioned the Juanicipio 1 concession. On August 8, 2002, MAG entered into an agreement whereby it could acquire 98% of the issued and outstanding shares of Minera Lagartos. This agreement was later amended such that MAG could acquire a 99% interest in Minera Lagartos and a beneficial ownership of the remaining 1% interest.

From May 2003 to June 2004, MAG completed 10 drill holes for a total of 7,595 m and during this exploration program, discovered the Juanicipio Vein and cut what would later be discovered to be the upper and deep parts of the Valdecañas Vein outside of the thick and high grade Bonanza Zone.

On April 4, 2005, MAG announced that it had entered into a joint venture agreement with Peñoles whereby Peñoles could earn a 56% interest in the property. Fresnillo, then Peñoles’ wholly-owned operating division, and MAG formed a new company, Minera Juanicipio, to operate the joint venture.

On July 25, 2008, MAG filed a technical report on the Juanicipio Project which included an initial Mineral Resource estimate. That report covered work on the property to December 31, 2007. The Mineral Resource estimate was then updated by RPA (then Scott Wilson RPA) in early 2009 based on drill hole results available to January 29, 2009. On September 14, 2009, MAG announced the results of the independent preliminary assessment by Tetra Tech WEI Inc. for development of the Valdecañas Vein as a potential stand-alone silver mine. On December 1, 2010, MAG announced a Juanicipio resource estimation and update prepared by RPA (then Scott Wilson RPA). A NI 43-101 technical report to support the resource update was filed on SEDAR on January 14, 2011. On November 10, 2011, MAG announced an updated Juanicipio resource estimate prepared by Strathcona on behalf of Minera Juanicipio. On December 19, 2011, MAG announced an updated resource estimate by RPA. On June 14, 2012, MAG announced an updated PEA study prepared by AMC on behalf of Minera Juanicipio. The 2012 PEA was based on the resource model prepared by Strathcona.

Geology

The Juanicipio property lies on the western flank of the Central Altiplano, just east of the Sierra Madre Occidental range. Basement rocks underlying the western Altiplano are a late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic assemblage of marine sedimentary and submarine volcanic rocks belonging to the Guerrero Terrane that were obducted onto older Palaeozoic and Precambrian continental rocks during the early Jurassic. These were then overlapped by a Jurassic-Cretaceous epi-continental marine and volcanic arc sequence that in the Fresnillo area is represented by the Proaño and Chilitos formations. The late Cretaceous to early Tertiary Laramide Orogeny folded and thrust faulted the basement rocks in the entire area and preceded the emplacement of mid-Tertiary plutons and related dykes and stocks.

On the Juanicipio property, the dominant structural features are: (i) 340° to 020°, or north-south structures; (ii) 290° to 310° trending, steeply dipping faults; and (iii) lesser 040° to 050° structures. From field observations, the north-south structures appear to be steeply dipping normal faults that cut and down-drop blocks of silicified tuff, especially in the vicinity of Linares Canyon. More important to the silicification appears to be the 290° to 310° trending, steeply to moderately dipping faults. These faults occur where silicification and advanced argillic alteration are most intense and may have served as major hydrothermal fluid pathways.

Table of Contents

The two significant silver-gold epithermal structures discovered to date on the Juanicipio property are known as the Valdecañas and Juanicipio vein systems. Both veins strike east-southeast and dip 35o to 55o southwest. The Valdecañas structure hosts the majority of the Mineral Resources currently estimated on the property.

Mineralization consists of precious metal rich, banded, or brecciated quartz-pyrargyrite-acanthite-polybasite-galena-sphalerite veins. The veins have undergone multiple mineralizing events as suggested by various stages of brecciation and quartz sealing, local rhythmic microcrystalline quartz-pyrargyrite banding, and open-space cocks-comb textures and vuggy silica. The vein exhibits the characteristic metal zoning of the principal veins in the Fresnillo district, observed as a change from silver and gold rich zones at the top to increased base metals in the deeper intersections.

Mineral Resources

A set of cross sections and plan views were interpreted to construct three-dimensional wireframe models of the mineralized veins using the descriptive logs, a minimum NSR value of approximately US$70 per tonne, and a minimum thickness of two metres. Prior to compositing to two metre lengths, high grades were cut to 6,000 g/t Ag, 16 g/t Au, and 15% for both lead and zinc. Classification into the Indicated and Inferred categories was guided by the drill hole density and the apparent continuity of the mineralized zones.

The updated Mineral Resource estimate dated December 31, 2013 is listed in Table 1-1.

The following summary sections are summarized from the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Juanicipio Property prepared by AMC dated July 1, 2012. In RPA’s opinion, these sections remain reasonable for this stage of study.

Geotechnical Considerations

Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, which host the veins, are overlain by Tertiary volcanic rocks across the majority of the project site, except for two surface outcrops located southwest of the Valdecañas Vein. Rock quality in moderate to slightly weathered Cretaceous sedimentary rocks typically consist of poor to fair quality rocks with localized zones of high fracture frequency. Rock quality within the Tertiary volcanic rocks varies greatly from extremely poor to good. Veins are characterized by typically good rock quality, but geotechnical data relating to the veins is extremely limited.

Hydrogeological information on the project area has not yet been collected. The study assumes that the rock mass in the project area will be generally dry except in fault zones, which have been assumed to produce medium inflows.

Mining Methods

AMC considered use of the following stoping methods at the project:

 

  ·  

Down-hole benching with uncemented rockfill (modified Avoca).

 

  ·  

Long-hole open stoping (“LHOS”) with cemented backfill.

 

  ·  

Cut-and-fill with uncemented backfill.

In AMC’s opinion, LHOS with cemented backfill is the most suitable method for the veins, mainly because of the higher recovery achievable using this method. LHOS with cemented backfill can be used in both steeply dipping and shallow dipping parts of the deposit. It is envisaged that some steeper dipping lower grade parts of the veins will be mined using the lower cost Avoca method.

Truck haulage, shaft hoisting, and conveying were considered for transferring ore and waste from the mine workings to surface. The trucking option was selected on the basis of its lower up-front capital cost and lower overall net present cost. However, there are relatively small cost differences between the options and the trucking option is sensitive to future increases in fuel and labour costs. In AMC’s opinion ongoing consideration is warranted on the option of constructing a hoisting shaft to a depth of about 450 m.

It is envisaged that access to the mine will be via a decline driven at a nominal gradient of 1:7. The access decline will connect to a number of internal declines providing access to stoping levels positioned at either 15 m or 20 m vertical

intervals, depending on the dip of the vein. It is envisaged that mining will be carried out using modern trackless mining equipment. The proposed mine ventilation circuit will include a number of ventilation shafts, raise bored from surface.

Mineral Processing

Two sets of metallurgical test work were carried out in 2008 and 2009, on metallurgical samples composited from drill holes samples taken from the Valdecañas Vein. No metallurgical test work has yet been carried out relating to the Juanicipio Vein.

The proposed process plant consists of a comminution circuit followed by the sequential flotation of a silver-rich lead concentrate, a zinc concentrate, and a gold-rich pyrite concentrate.

It is envisaged that the process plant will commence operation at a throughput rate of 850,000 tpa, which will be increased to 950,000 tpa when production from the Juanicipio Vein commences.

Estimated mill recoveries and concentrate grades are summarized in Table 1-4.

Project Infrastructure

A 9.8 km access road, mostly over hilly terrain, will be required to access the site. A two-lane unsealed road suitable for use by heavy vehicles hauling concentrates is proposed.

Power would be supplied to a main substation at the site via a 115 kV overhead power line from an existing power line and substation located to the north of the property. The line would have a length of approximately 5.2 km. The average power demand for the site is estimated at 11.9 MW.

Three water catchment dams are envisaged for the site. The dams would be used to store water from the mine dewatering system and from rainfall. A hydrogeological study will be carried out during further studies.

The Joint Venture has purchased 125 ha of relatively flat-lying land suitable and adequate for the proposed five million cubic metres tailings storage facility (“TSF”). This land lies to the northeast of the proposed mill site along the proposed access road from the JV area to the regional highway. The necessary detailed environmental and geotechnical studies for this TSF site have been outlined but not yet initiated.

Project Development and Production Schedule

Following satisfactory completion of further studies, and subject to the application for and grant of the necessary permits and licences, it is estimated that it will take approximately three and a half years to develop the project from the start of the box cut and portal to mill start-up.

Note: The tonnage and grades of the material mined and processed were derived from the 2011 Strathcona Mineral Resources. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability

The tonnages and grades shown in Table 1-5 do not reflect the 2014 updated Mineral Resource estimate that includes 40 new infill diamond drill holes completed since the previous resource estimate, but rather have been derived from the Mineral Resource estimate and vein model prepared in 2011 by Strathcona by applying a $65 NSR cut-off grade to the resource model and then allowing for dilution, and design and mining losses. Metal prices used in the NSR calculation were $1,210 per ounce gold, $22.10 per ounce silver, $0.94 per pound lead, and $0.90 per pound zinc and an exchange rate of 12.50 Mexican pesos to one US dollar. In developing the tonnage and grade estimates, stope blocks that were in contact with the property boundaries were excluded and zero grades have been assumed for the dilution material.

Capital and Operating Costs

Project capital is estimated at $302 million, inclusive of capitalized operating costs (costs usually related to the operation of the mine, but incurred prior to first concentrate production). Sustaining capital of $267 million results mainly from the need for ongoing mine development after concentrate production commences, including development of the Juanicipio Vein, and the need for mobile equipment replacements over the mine life.

Total site operating costs have been estimated at approximately $67/t milled. The unit costs are broken down as follows:

 

  ·  

Mining: $43.92/t milled.

 

  ·  

Milling: $19.18/t milled.

 

  ·  

General and Administration: $3.46/t milled.

Project Revenue

Project economics have been analyzed using the following metal prices (Base Case Prices), which are based on the three year trailing average prices to the year ending December 2011:

 

  ·  

Silver price = $23.39/oz

 

  ·  

Gold price = $1,257/oz

 

  ·  

Lead price = $0.95/lb

 

  ·  

Zinc price = $0.91/lb

It is envisaged that silver rich zinc concentrate will be sold primarily to smelters in the Asian region. Lead concentrate could potentially be sold to a smelter in Mexico or exported to offshore smelters. The gold-rich pyrite concentrate will be sold to a customer able to recover the gold and silver values.

Economic Analysis

The economic analysis in the PEA is preliminary in nature and is based, in part, on Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too spectulative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in the Offered Shares is highly speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business and the present stage of exploration and development of its mineral properties. There are a number of risks that may have a material and adverse impact on the future operating and financial performance of the Company and the value of its Common Shares. These include risks that are widespread risks associated with any form of business and specific risks associated with the Company’s business and its involvement in the exploration and mining industry. Most risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company. A prospective investor should carefully consider, in light of its own financial circumstances, the risk factors set out herein, as well as other information contained or incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus, including, in particular, the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Information Form and management’s discussion and analysis incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus.

Risks Relating to the Company’s Business Operations

Mineral exploration and development is a highly speculative business and most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits.

Exploration for minerals is a highly speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures made by the Company described herein may not result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals. The failure to find an economic mineral deposit on any of the Company’s exploration concessions will have a negative effect on the Company.

None of the properties in which the Company has an interest has any mineral reserves.

Currently, there are no mineral reserves (within the meaning of NI 43-101) on any of the properties in which the Company has an interest. Only those mineral deposits that the Company can economically and legally extract or produce, based on a comprehensive evaluation of cost, grade, recovery and other factors, are considered mineral

Table of Contents

reserves. The resource estimates contained in the Amended Technical Report are indicated and inferred resource estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of silver or other minerals from mineralized material will in fact be realized or that an identified mineralized deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) reserve. In particular, inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Further, the preliminary economic assessment contained in the Amended Technical Report is preliminary in nature, and actual capital costs, operating costs, production, economic returns and other estimates contained in studies or estimates prepared by or for the Company may differ from those described therein and herein, and there can be no assurance that actual costs will not be higher than anticipated. Substantial additional work, including mine design and mining schedules, metallurgical flow sheets and process plant designs, would be required in order to determine if any economic deposits exist on the Company’s properties. Substantial expenditures would be required to establish mineral reserves through drilling and metallurgical and other testing techniques. The costs, timing and complexities of upgrading the mineralized material to proven or probable reserves may be greater than the Company reserves on a mineral property will require the Company to write-off the costs capitalized for that property in its financial statements. The Company cannot provide any assurance that future feasibility studies will establish mineral reserves at its properties. The failure to establish mineral reserves could restrict the Company’s ability to successfully implement its strategies for long-term growth.

The properties in which the Company has an interest are primarily in the exploration stage, and most exploration projects do not result in commercially mineable deposits.

Other than the Juanicipio Project where development has commenced, all of the Company’s property interests are at the exploration stage. None of the Company’s properties have known commercial quantities of minerals. Development of mineral properties involves a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit is dependent upon a number of factors which are beyond the Company’s control, including the attributes of the deposit, commodity prices, government policies and regulation and environmental protection. Fluctuations in the market prices of minerals may render resources and deposits containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic. Further exploration or delineation will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of any of the Company’s properties is determined. Even if the Company completes its exploration programs and is successful in identifying mineral deposits, it will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before it will know if it has a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ores.

Estimates of reserves and resources, mineral deposits and production costs can be affected by such factors as environmental permit regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. As a result, there is a risk such estimates are inaccurate. The Amended Technical Report includes a resource estimate prepared by RPA in accordance with NI 43-101. The grade of precious and base metals ultimately discovered may differ from the indicated by drilling results. If the grade of the resource was lower, there would be a negative impact on the economics of the Juanicipio Project. There can be no assurance that precious metals recovered in small-scale tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale. The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. If a property does not contain any reserves, any funds spent on exploration of that property will be lost. The failure of the Company to find an economic mineral deposit on any of its exploration concessions will have a negative effect on the Company.

Estimates of mineral resources are based on interpretation and assumptions and are inherently imprecise.

The mineral resource figures referred to in the Amended Technical Report and this short form prospectus have been determined and valued based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades and operating costs. However, until mineral deposits are actually mined and processed, any mineral resources must be considered as estimates only. Fresnillo prepares its own internal resource estimates annually in respect of the Juanicipio Project and such estimates may be materially different than those used or relied upon by the Company. Any such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Estimates can be imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable. In addition, the grade and/or quantity of precious metals ultimately recovered may differ from that indicated by drilling results. There can be no assurance that precious and base metals recovered in small-scale tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale. The grade of the reported mineral

 

11


Table of Contents

resource estimates are uncertain in nature and it is uncertain whether further technical studies will result in an upgrade to them. Further drilling on the mineralized zones is required to complement the current bulk sample and add confidence in the continuity of mineralized zones in comparison to the current block model. Any material change in the quantity of mineralization, grade or ore to waste ratio or extended declines in market prices for silver and precious metals may render portions of the Company’s mineralization uneconomic and result in reduced reported mineralization. Any material reductions in estimates of mineralization, or of the Company’s ability to extract this mineralization, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Rights to use the surface of the Company’s mineral properties are not guaranteed.

The majority of the Company’s mineral properties are located in remote and relatively uninhabited areas. Some properties, like Juanicipio Project, are near towns and other habitations, but there are currently no areas of interest to the Company within its mineral concessions that are overlain by significant habitation or industrial users. However, there are potential overlapping surface usage issues in some areas. Some surface rights are owned by local communities or “Ejidos” and some surface rights are owned by private ranching or residential interests. The Company will be required to negotiate the acquisition of surface rights in those areas where it may wish to develop mining operations. Exploration activities are not typically materially impacted by competing surface rights issues, although in some areas the Company has been required or is in the process of negotiating compensation for surface rights holders in order to secure right of access. The Company’s interest in a property could be adversely affected by an inability to obtain Ejido surface access permissions. In the case of the Cinco de Mayo Property some members of the local Ejido are aligned against the Company having access to the surface rights, and the Company was asked to vacate the property on November 2012 at what the Company believes was an illegally constituted Ejido Assembly. A subsequent legal challenge to the legality of the Assembly was rejected and an appeal has been filed. Although the Company is currently in the process of negotiating surface access to the Cinco de Mayo Property with the Ejido, there is no assurance that a surface access agreement will be attained, in which case the Company’s interest in the property may be permanently impaired.

There is no guarantee that licenses and permits required by the Company to conduct its business will be obtained, which may result in the Company losing its interest in the subject property.

The Company’s current and anticipated future operations, including further exploration, development activities and commencement of production on the Company’s properties, require permits from various national, provincial, territorial and local governmental authorities. The Company may not be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at its projects. In addition, the grant of required licenses and permits may be delayed for reasons outside the Company’s control. For example, the Company has been prevented from obtaining the Soil Use Change Permit required for the Cinco de Mayo Property due to the opposition from certain members of the local Ejido described above. In addition, development permitting delays resulting from the recent Mexican government changeover delayed the start of the decline development at the Juanicipio Project. Failure to obtain such licenses and permits on a timely basis, or failure to comply with the terms of any such licenses and permits that the Company does obtain, may adversely affect the Company’s business as the Company would be unable to legally conduct its intended exploration, development or mining work, which may result in increased costs, delay in activities or the Company losing its interest in the subject property.

The properties in which the Company has an interest are in Mexico.

The Company’s operations are currently conducted in a foreign jurisdiction, Mexico, and, as such, the Company’s operations are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other such risks and uncertainties as extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; the risks of war or civil unrest; expropriation and nationalization; renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts; illegal mining; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. In addition, there have recently been reports of increased political unrest, police and military enforcement action against drug cartels and a corresponding increase in violent crime in Mexico.

In the past, Mexico has been subject to political instability, changes and uncertainties, which may cause changes to existing governmental regulations affecting mineral exploration and mining activities. Mexico’s status as a developing country may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain any required financing for its projects.

 

12


Table of Contents

Any changes in governmental laws, regulations, economic conditions or shifts in political attitudes or stability in Mexico are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business.

Economic and political instability may affect the Company’s business.

The volatile global economic environment has created market uncertainty and volatility in recent years. From mid-calendar 2008 until early 2009 there was a negative trend with regard to the market for metal commodities and related products as a result of global economic uncertainty, reduced confidence in financial markets, bank failures and credit availability concerns. Similar instability in the market for metal commodities has been experienced since April 2013. These macro-economic events negatively affected the mining and minerals sectors in general, and the Company’s market capitalization was significantly reduced during that period. Many industries, including the mining industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Global financial conditions remain subject to sudden and rapid destabilizations in response to economic shocks. A slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability. Future economic shocks may be precipitated by a number of causes, including the ongoing European debt situation, a continued rise in the price of oil and other commodities, the volatility of metal prices, geopolitical instability, terrorism, the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets and natural disasters. Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could impact the Company’s ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favorable to the Company or at all. In such an event, the Company’s operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

There are no assurances with respect to the relative strength and stability of future metal markets. Although the Company remains financially strong, its liquidity and long term ability to raise the capital required to execute its business plans may be affected by market volatilities.

The Company’s future profitability and the viability of development depends in part upon the world market price of silver. Prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The price of silver is influenced by factors including industrial and retail supply and demand, exchange rates, inflation rates, changes in global economies, confidence in the global monetary system, forward sales of silver and other metals by producers and speculators as well as other global or regional political, social or economic events. The supply of silver and other metals consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks held by governments, producers, speculators and consumers, which could increase due to improved mining and production methods.

Prices and availability of commodities consumed or used in connection with exploration and development and mining, such as natural gas, diesel, oil and electricity, also fluctuate, and these fluctuations affect the costs of production at various operations. These fluctuations can be unpredictable, can occur over short periods of time and may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating costs or the timing and costs of various projects.

The Company assesses on a quarterly basis the carrying values of its mineral properties. Based on current and expected metals prices and cost structures, management has determined that the values of the Company’s material mineral properties have not been impaired at this time. Should current market conditions and commodity prices worsen and persist in a worsened state for a prolonged period of time, an impairment of the Company’s mineral properties may be required.

Risks Relating to Financing the Company’s Business Operations

Substantial expenditures are required for commercial operations and if financing for such expenditures is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to justify commercial operations.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, resources may not be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or the funds required for development may not be obtained at all or on terms acceptable to the Company.

The Company’s expenditures are currently funded from its cash balances, which are the proceeds of previous equity financings. The Company will require significant additional capital in the future to meet its project-related

 

13


Table of Contents

expenditures, as it is unlikely that the Company will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet all of its future expenditure requirements.

The Company has a history of losses and values attributed to the Company’s assets may not be realizable.

The Company has a history of losses and has no revenues from operations. None of the Company’s properties is currently in production, and there is no certainty that the Company will succeed in placing any of its properties into production in the near future, if at all. The Company has no proven history of performance, revenues, earnings or success. The amounts attributed to the Company’s exploration concessions in its financial statements represent acquisition and exploration costs and should not be taken to represent realizable value with certainty. The Company anticipates continued losses for the foreseeable future until it can successfully place one or more of its properties into commercial production on a profitable basis. It could be years before the Company receives any revenues from any production of metals, if ever. If the Company is unable to generate significant revenues with respect to its properties, the Company will not be able to earn profits which would adversely affect its business and prospects.

The Company’s future liquidity will depend upon its ability to arrange significant additional debt or equity financing.

The Company’s future liquidity is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of its interests and future profitable production or, alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on a profitable basis. Given the Company has incurred losses from inception and does not have any operating cash flow, there can be no assurance that additional capital or financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financings will be acceptable to the Company. If the Company raises additional funds through the sale of equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, shareholders may have their equity interest in the Company diluted.

Adequate funding may not be available, resulting in the possible loss of the Company’s interests in its properties.

Sufficient funding may not be available to the Company for further exploration and development of its property interests. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company’s properties. If the Company becomes unable to meet its share of costs incurred under agreements to which it is a party, the Company may have its property interests subject to such agreements reduced as a result or even face termination of such agreements. The Company also has options to acquire interests in properties in Mexico and in order to obtain ownership of such properties it must make payments to the current owners and incur certain exploration expenditures on those properties. Accordingly, additional financing will be required to secure ownership of these properties. Failure of the Company to make the requisite payments in the prescribed time periods will result in the Company losing its entire interest in the subject property and the Company will no longer be able to conduct certain aspects of its business as described in this short form prospectus.

The Company may not have sufficient funds to: (a) make the minimum expenditures to maintain its properties in good standing under Mexican law; and (b) make the minimum expenditures to earn its interest in such properties. In such event, in respect of any of the properties, the Company may seek to enter into a joint venture or sell the subject property or elect to terminate its option.

The Company will require new capital to continue to operate its business and to continue with exploration on its properties, and additional capital may not be available when needed, if at all.

Risks Relating to the Development of the Juanicipio Project

Minera Juanicipio has not yet made a formal “Production Decision” at Juanicipio.

A feasibility study confirming the economic feasibility of the Minera Juanicipio project is contemplated as a condition precedent to the joint venture parties making a development decision. Minera Juanicipio has not completed a feasibility study on the Juanicipio Project and, accordingly, a formal “production decision” has not yet been considered by the Company and Fresnillo. The decision to commence the underground development and the access decline at the Juanicipio Project was made based on the results of the 2012 PEA. While the approval of an initial $25.4 million

 

14


Table of Contents

development budget consistent with the recommendations of the 2012 PEA was unanimously approved by both shareholders of Minera Juanicipio, further development budgets have yet to be prepared and considered. Although Fresnillo has indicated in its public presentations that it expects Minera Juanicipio to be in production by 2018, there are no assurances that a formal development decision will be made or that production will be achieved by that date.

The financial results and the contemplated development timeline to production may not be consistent with the Amended Technical Report.

Minera Juanicipio has not completed a pre-feasibility study or feasibility study on the Juanicipio Project and, accordingly, there is no estimate of mineral reserves. Rather, any decision to continue the development of the Juanicipio Project will be based upon the 2012 PEA set out in the Joint Venture-commissioned 2012 Technical Report, until, and if and when, further technical studies are completed by the Joint Venture.

The Amended Technical Report includes the same preliminary economic asssessment as the 2012 Technical Report, but the Amended Technical Report was commissioned independently by MAG, and not by the Minera Juanicipio Joint Venture. The preliminary economic assessment set out in the Amended Technical Report is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the estimates described in the Amended Technical Report will be realized. As a result, there are additional risks in commencing and completing construction based upon the Amended Technical Report including additional risks as to the size and grade of the resource, capital and operating costs, mineral recovery and financial viability. There is no guarantee that the construction will be completed or, if completed, that production will begin or that operating or financial results will be consistent with the Amended Technical Report.

The Juanicipio Project capital requirements and timeline to production contemplated in the Amended Technical Report are subject to uncertainty

The Amended Technical Report estimated total project capital of $302 million for the Juanicipio Project inclusive of capitalized operating costs (MAG’s share is US$133 million), over 3.5 years from the start of development. The Company has not completed a pre-feasibility study or feasibility study on the Juanicipio Project and, accordingly, these estimates are subject uncertainty. The Amended Technical Report is preliminary in nature and there is no certainty that the estimates described in the Amended Technical Report will be realized. As a result, there are additional risks in commencing and completing construction based upon the Amended Technical Report including that actual project capital costs may significantly exceed $302 million, and that the timeline to production may be longer than 3.5 years.

Risks Relating to the Company’s Property Titles

The Company’s mineral properties are subject to title risk and any challenge to the title to any of such properties may have a negative impact on the Company.

The Company’s mineral property rights may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers and claims and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. Title to, and the area of, the mineral interests held by the Company may be disputed. A full investigation of legal title to the Company’s property interests has not been carried out at this time. Accordingly, title to these property interests may be in doubt. Other parties may dispute title or access to the properties in which the Company has an interest. The Company’s property interests may also be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or land claims and title may be affected by such undetected defects. Any challenge to the title or access to any of the properties in which the Company has an interest may have a negative impact on the Company as the Company will incur delay and expenses in defending such challenge and, if the challenge is successful, the Company may lose any interest it may have in the subject property.

Title opinions provide no guarantee of title and any challenge to the title to any properties may have a negative impact on the Company.

Although the Company has or will receive title opinions for any concessions in which it has or will acquire a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to such concessions will not be challenged or impugned. In Mexico, a title opinion does not provide absolute comfort that the holder has unconditional or absolute title. Any challenge to the title

 

15


Table of Contents

or access to any of the properties in which the Company has an interest may have a negative impact on the Company as the Company will incur expenses in defending such challenge and, if the challenge is successful, the Company may lose any interest it may have in the subject property.

Titles to the properties in which the Company has an interest that are not registered in the name of the Company may result in potential title disputes having a negative impact on the Company.

All of the agreements under which the Company may earn interests in properties have either been registered or been submitted for registration with the Mexican Public Registry of Mining, but title relating to the properties in which the Company may earn its interests may be held in the names of parties other than the Company. Any of such properties may become the subject of an agreement which conflicts with the agreement pursuant to which the Company may earn its interest, in which case the Company may incur expenses in resolving any dispute relating to its interest in such property and such a dispute could result in the delay, indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of properties or the possible loss of such properties.

Risks Related to Minority Investment in the Juanicipio Property

The Company is a minority shareholder of Minera Juanicipio and therefore may be dependent on, and subject to, the decisions of the majority shareholder.

The terms of the Shareholders Agreement governing the operation of Minera Juanicipio provide effective control to Fresnillo over many of the activities of Minera Juanicipio since it holds a majority (56%) of the shares of Minera Juanicipio. While a limited number of decisions of the shareholders or the directors of Minera Juanicipio require a special majority of 60%, and in one instance 75%, giving the Company an effective veto over any such decisions, the Company is a minority shareholder of Minera Juanicipio and is dependent on Fresnillo to manage the affairs of Minera Juanicipio and to do so in compliance with the Shareholders Agreement, the by-laws of Minera Juanicipio and applicable law.

The Shareholders Agreement calls for adjustments to the interests of the shareholders in Minera Juanicipio where either shareholder fails to fund cash calls within certain specified periods. If the Company fails to fund cash calls, it risks having its interest reduced, may lose its effective veto power over certain decisions and ultimately could be diluted out of Minera Juanicipio altogether. Fresnillo is a much larger entity with far greater access to financial resources than the Company.

The Company holds its Juanicipio Project interest through a joint venture and therefore may be adversely impacted by disputes with its joint venture partner.

The Company’s interest in the Juanicipio Project is also subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of joint ventures. The existence or occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances and events, for example, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and financial condition or the viability of its interests held through joint ventures: disagreement with joint venture partners on how to conduct business efficiently; inability of joint venture partners to meet their obligations to the joint venture or third parties; or litigation arising between joint venture partners.

In 2010, MAG initiated arbitration proceedings with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”), and in May 2011, the Company announced that it had received a favourable unanimous ruling, dated April 28, 2011, of a three member arbitral panel of the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC with respect to the arbitration proceedings against its joint venture partner, Fresnillo. In its ruling, the arbitral tribunal awarded MAG $1.86 million in damages. Although this dispute between the Company and Fresnillo was ultimately determined in favour of the Company, there can be no guarantee that future disputes between the parties will not arise and lead to further litigation proceedings, the outcome of which is uncertain.

The Company has significant shareholders that may able to exert influence over the direction of the Company’s business.

Based upon the Company’s review of the insider reports filed with System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (“SEDI”), as at July 8, 2014, the Company believes that Fresnillo (and its affiliates) and Mason Hill Advisors LLC

 

16


Table of Contents

and its affiliates (“Mason Hill”) currently (prior to completion of the Offering) hold approximately 16.1% and 12.2%, respectively, of the Company’s Common Shares. Accordingly, Fresnillo and Mason Hill, either in unison and/or individually, may have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, including mergers and any proposed sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Unless full participation of shareholders takes place in such shareholder meetings, Fresnillo and/or Mason Hill may be able to approve on its own, or effectively prevent the approval, of any such significant corporate transactions.

Further, the significant ownership of Common Shares by Fresnillo and Mason Hill may affect the market price and liquidity of the Common Shares. The effect of these rights and Fresnillo and Mason Hill’s influence may impact the price that investors are willing to pay for Common Shares. If either party sells a substantial number of Common Shares in the public market, the market price of the shares could decrease.

The presence of a dominant shareholder like Fresnillo, that has: a) made a hostile bid attempt; b) is the operator of the Juanicipio Project; and c) has substantial property holdings surrounding the Juanicipio property, may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, as Fresnillo’s interests may differ from, or be adverse to, the interests of the Company’s other shareholders. Without the consent and cooperation of Fresnillo, Minera Juanicipio may be prevented from entering into transactions that would be beneficial to the Company and its other shareholders.

Other Business Risks

The Company may be subject to litigation, the disposition of which could negatively affect the Company’s profits to varying degrees.

All industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Due to the nature of its business, the Company may, in the future, be subject to claims (including class action claims and claims from government regulatory bodies) based on allegations of negligence, breach of statutory duty, public nuisance or private nuisance or otherwise in connection with its operations or investigations relating thereto. Defense and settlement costs can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the litigation process could take away from management time and effort and there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular legal proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial position. Results of litigation are inherently uncertain and there can be no assurances as to the final outcome. The Company’s liability insurance may not fully cover such claims. See also “The Company holds interests through joint ventures and therefore may be adversely impacted by disputes with joint venture partners.”

Environmental regulations are becoming more onerous to comply with, and the cost of compliance with environmental regulations and changes in such regulations may reduce the profitability of the Company’s operations.

Environmental legislation on a global basis is evolving in a manner that will ensure stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessment of proposed development and a higher level of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions of spills, release or emission of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailing disposal areas, which could result in environmental pollution. Failure to comply with such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require submissions to and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, and more stringent fines and penalties for non-compliance. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with environmental regulations and changes in such regulations may reduce the profitability of the Company’s operations. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations may require significant capital outlays on behalf of the Company and may cause material changes or delays in the Company’s intended activities.

Mineral exploration is a highly competitive industry.

The mineral exploration industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases and the Company must compete in all aspects of its operations with a substantial number of large established mining companies with greater liquidity, greater

Table of Contents

access to credit and other financial resources, newer or more efficient equipment, lower cost structures, more effective risk management policies and procedures and/or greater ability than the Company to withstand losses. The Company’s competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new laws or regulations or emerging technologies, or devote greater resources to the expansion of their operations, than the Company can. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties. Competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire suitable new producing properties or prospects for exploration in the future. Competition could also affect the Company’s ability to raise financing to fund the exploration and development of its properties or to hire qualified personnel. The Company may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company may face equipment shortages, access restrictions and a lack of infrastructure.

The majority of the Company’s mineral properties are located in remote and relatively uninhabited areas. The Company will require adequate infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and sources of power and water, for future exploration and development activities. The lack of availability of these items on terms acceptable to the Company or the delay in availability of these items could prevent or delay exploitation or development of the Company’s properties. In addition, unusual weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect our operations and profitability. Natural resource exploration, development, processing and mining activities are dependent on the availability of mining, drilling and related equipment in the particular areas where such activities are conducted. A limited supply of such equipment or access restrictions may affect the availability of such equipment to the Company and may delay exploration, development or extraction activities. Certain equipment may not be immediately available, or may require long lead time orders. A delay in obtaining necessary equipment could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

The Company is dependent on its key personnel, some of whom may not have entered into written agreements with the Company and none of whom are insured by the Company.

The Company is dependent upon the continued availability and commitment of its key management, employees and consultants, whose contributions to immediate and future operations of the Company are of central importance. The Company relies on its President & CEO, George Paspalas, and its other officers, who have entered into written employment agreements with the Company, for the day-to-day operation of the Company, its projects and the execution of the Company’s business plan. The Company has not obtained “key man” insurance for any of its management. The loss of any member of the senior management team could impair the Company’s ability to execute its business plan and could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The loss of George Paspalas may have a temporary negative impact on the Company until he is replaced.

The Company is dependent on Cascabel and IMDEX to oversee its operations in Mexico.

The Company is dependent upon the continued availability and commitment of Cascabel and IMDEX for the day-to-day supervision of the Company’s operations in Mexico. The Company also relies heavily on Dr. Peter Megaw, a principal of Cascabel and IMDEX, for the planning, execution and assessment of the Company’s exploration programs. Dr. Megaw and his team developed the geologic concepts and directed the acquisition of all the Company’s projects, including the Juanicipio Project and the Cinco de Mayo Property. Dr. Megaw, was a director of MAG from February 6, 2006 to June 23, 2014, and remains a consultant to MAG, and IMDEX is paid a fee for his consulting services based on fair market rates and his submission of invoices for services rendered. The Company has not obtained “key man” insurance for Dr. Megaw. The loss of Dr. Megaw, or the services of Cascabel and IMDEX, could impair the Company’s ability to execute its business plan in Mexico, and could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Conflicts of interest may arise among the Company’s directors as a result of their involvement with other natural resource companies.

Most of the Company’s directors do not devote their full time to the affairs of the Company. All of the directors and some of the officers of the Company are also directors, officers and shareholders of other natural resource or public

 

18


Table of Contents

companies, and as a result they may find themselves in a position where their duty to another company conflicts with their duty to the Company. Although the Company has policies which address such potential conflicts and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), has provisions governing directors in the event of such a conflict, none of the Company’s constating documents or any of its other agreements contains any provisions mandating a procedure for addressing such conflicts of interest. There is no assurance that any such conflicts will be resolved in favour of the Company. If any such conflicts are not resolved in favour of the Company, the Company may be adversely affected.

Foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures may have a negative impact on the Company’s financial position and results.

The Company’s property interests in Mexico make it subject to foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures which may adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results. Option agreements to acquire property interests in Mexico may result in option payments by the Company denominated in Mexican pesos, Canadian or US dollars over the next few years. Exploration and development programs to be conducted by the Company in Mexico will also be funded in Mexican pesos or in US dollars. As the Company maintains its accounts in Canadian and US dollars, any appreciation in Mexican currency against the Canadian or US dollar will increase the costs of carrying out operations in Mexico. The steps taken by management to address foreign currency fluctuations may not eliminate all adverse effects and, accordingly, the Company may suffer losses due to adverse foreign currency fluctuations. The Company also bears the risk of incurring losses occasioned as a result of inflation in Mexico.

Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk and potential liability and insurance coverage may not cover all potential risks associated with the Company’s operations.

Unusual or unexpected formations, power outages, labour disruptions, industrial accidents, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, seismic activity, rock bursts, landslides, pollution, inclement weather, fire, mechanical equipment failure and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are several of the hazards and risks involved in the conduct of exploration programs, any of which could result in personal injury or death, damage to property, environmental damage and possible legal liability for any or all damage. Safety measures implemented by the Company may not be successful in preventing or mitigating future accidents. The Company maintains insurance against risks in the operation of its business in amounts that it believes to be reasonable. Such insurance, however, contains exclusions and limitations on coverage and the Company’s insurance may not cover all potential risks associated with the Company’s operations. There can be no assurance that any such insurance will continue to be available, will be available at economically acceptable premiums or will be adequate to cover any resulting liability. In some cases, such as with respect to environmental risks, coverage is not available or considered too expensive relative to the perceived risk. Losses resulting from any uninsured events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition. In addition, from time to time the Company may be subject to governmental investigations and claims and litigation filed on behalf of persons who are harmed while at its properties or otherwise in connection with the Company’s operations. To the extent that the Company is subject to personal injury or other claims or lawsuits in the future, it may not be possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and lawsuits due to the nature of personal injury litigation. Similarly, if the Company is subject to governmental investigations or proceedings, the Company may incur significant penalties and fines, and enforcement actions against it could result in the closing of certain of the Company’s mining operations. If claims and lawsuits or governmental investigations or proceedings are finally resolved against the Company, the Company’s financial performance, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Mineral prices and marketability fluctuate and any decline in mineral prices may have a negative effect on the Company.

Mineral prices, including gold, silver, zinc and lead prices, have fluctuated widely in recent years. The marketability and price of any minerals that may be acquired by the Company may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include delivery uncertainties related to the proximity of potential reserves to processing facilities and extensive government regulation relating to price, taxes, royalties, allowable production land tenure, the import and export of minerals and many other aspects of the mining business.

Declines in mineral prices may have a negative effect on the Company.

Risks Relating to the Regulatory Environment

The Company is subject to anti-corruption laws.

The Company is subject to anti-corruption laws under the Canadian Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act, and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibit companies from bribing or making other prohibited payments to foreign public officials in order to obtain or retain an advantage in the course of business. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur in Mexico or any other jurisdiction in which the Company may conduct business. The Company cannot ensure that its employees or other agents will not engage in such prohibited practices, for which the Company could face severe penalties, reputational damage and other consequences that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to promote legal and ethical business conduct by its directors, officers and employees. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that this code, or other policies or procedures that it may adopt, will be sufficient to protect against corrupt activity. In particular, the Company may not be able to prevent or detect corrupt activity by employees or third parties, such as sub-contractors or joint venture partners, for which the Company might be held responsible.

The Company may be required by human rights laws to take actions that delay the advancement of its projects.

There are various international and national laws, codes, resolutions, conventions, guidelines and other materials that relate to human rights (including rights with respect to health and safety and the environment surrounding our operations). Many of these materials impose obligations on government and companies to respect human rights. Some mandate that government consult with communities surrounding our projects regarding government actions that may affect local stakeholders, including actions to approve or grant mining rights or permits. The obligations of government and private parties under the various international and national materials pertaining to human rights continue to evolve and be defined. One or more groups of people may oppose the Company’s current and future operations or further development or new development of its projects or operations. Such opposition may be directed through legal or administrative proceedings or expressed in manifestations such as protests, roadblocks or other forms of public expression against the Company’s activities, and may have a negative impact on its reputation. Opposition by such groups to the Company’s operations may require modification of, or preclude the operation or development of, its projects or may require the Company to enter into agreements with such groups or local governments with respect to its projects, in some cases causing considerable delays to the advancement of its projects.

Mexican Foreign Investment and Income Tax Laws apply to the Company.

Under the Foreign Investment Law of Mexico, there is presently no limitation on foreign capital participation in mining operations; however, the applicable laws may change in a way which may adversely impact the Company and its ability to repatriate profits. Under Mexican Income Tax Law, dividends paid out of “previously taxed net earnings” are not subject to Mexican taxes. Otherwise, dividends are subject to the Mexican income tax at the corporate level, which presently is 30% over a gross up basis (amount of the dividend times 1.4286), payable by the Mexican company as an advance of its annual income tax. As of January 1, 2014, there is a new withholding tax on dividends paid by a Mexican company to non-Mexican shareholders of 10%. This withholding tax rate may be reduced under the applicable Tax Treaties to Avoid Double Taxation entered by Mexico.

Corporations with their tax residence in Mexico are taxed on their worldwide income, which include all profits from operations, income from investments not relating to the regular business of the corporation and capital gains. The current corporate income tax rate in Mexico is 30%. As of January 1, 2014, a mining royalty fee is in effect in Mexico of 7.5% on income before tax, depreciation, and interest, as well as an extraordinary governmental fee on precious metals, including told and silver, of 0.5% of gross revenues.

Among the amendments for 2014, Mexican companies are no longer allowed to partially deduct certain expenses such as fringe benefits paid to its employees which in turn are tax exempted for the same employees (e.g. food coupons, pension and retirement funds additional to those provided for under the Mexican Security Law).

The IETU Flat Tax (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica) which was structured as an alternative minimum tax was repealed effective January 1, 2014.

The VAT is an indirect tax levied on the value added to goods and services, and is imposed on corporations that carry out activities within Mexican territory, including (i) the sale or other disposition of property; (ii) the rendering of independent services; (iii) the granting of temporary use of property; or (iv) the importation of goods and services. The standard value added tax rate is 16%.

The Company follows Canadian disclosure practices concerning its Mineral Resources which allow for more disclosure than is permitted for domestic U.S. reporting companies.

The Company’s mineral resource estimates are not directly comparable to those made by domestic U.S. reporting companies subject to the SEC’s reporting and disclosure requirements, as the Company reports resources in accordance with Canadian practices. These practices are different from the practices used to report resource estimates in reports and other materials filed by domestic U.S. reporting companies with the SEC in that the Canadian practice is to report measured, indicated and inferred resources. In the United States, mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Further, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Disclosure of “contained ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards only as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources contained in this short form prospectus may not be comparable to information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. See “Cautionary Note to United States Investors.”

The Company may fail to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

During the Company’s five most recent fiscal years, management has documented and tested its internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”). SOX requires an annual assessment by management of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and, for its fiscal years 2006 through 2011, SOX required an attestation report by the Company’s independent auditors addressing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. However, in April 2012 the requirement of auditor attestation was, with respect to “emerging growth companies,” repealed by the “Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act” (“JOBS Act”). Because the Company is presently an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act, it is now exempt from the SOX requirement of auditor attestation regarding its internal controls over financial reporting. The Company may fail to maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, and the Company may not be able to conclude, on an ongoing basis, that it has effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of SOX. The Company’s failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of SOX on an ongoing, timely basis could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of its financial statements, which in turn could harm the Company’s business and negatively impact the trading price or the market value of its securities. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Company’s operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. If the Company expands, the challenges involved in implementing appropriate internal control over financial reporting will increase and will require that the Company continues to monitor its internal control over financial reporting. Although the Company intends to expend time and incur costs, as necessary, to ensure ongoing compliance, it cannot be certain that it will be successful in complying with Section 404 of SOX.

Risks Relating to the Common Shares and the Offering

Funding and property commitments will result in dilution to the Company’s shareholders.

The Company may sell additional equity securities in subsequent offerings (including through the sale of securities convertible into equity securities) and may issue additional equity securities to finance operations, exploration, development, acquisitions or other projects. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of equity securities or the size and terms of future issuances of debt instruments or other securities convertible into equity securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of the Company’s securities will have on the market price

Table of Contents

of the Common Shares. Any transaction involving the issuance of previously authorized but unissued Common Shares, or securities convertible into Common Shares, would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to security holders. Exercises of presently outstanding share options may also result in dilution to security holders.

The board of directors of the Company has the authority to authorize certain offers and sales of additional securities without the vote of, or prior notice to, shareholders. Based on the need for additional capital to fund expected expenditures and growth, it is likely that the Company will issue additional securities to provide such capital. Such additional issuances may involve the issuance of a significant number of Common Shares at prices less than the current market price for the Common Shares.

Sales of substantial amounts of the Company’s securities, or the availability of such securities for sale, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for the Company’s securities and dilute investors’ earnings per share. A decline in the market prices of Company’s securities could impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities should the Company desire to do so.

The price of the Company’s Common Shares is volatile.

Publicly quoted securities are subject to a relatively high degree of price volatility. It should be expected that continued fluctuations in price will occur, and no assurances can be made as to whether the price per share will increase or decrease in the future. In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of many companies, particularly those considered exploration or development stage companies, have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. The factors influencing such volatility include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price of the Common Shares is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in precious metal prices or other mineral prices, currency exchange fluctuations and the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its earnings reports. Other factors unrelated to the performance of the Company that may have an effect on the price of the Common Shares include the following: the extent of analyst coverage available to investors concerning the business of the Company may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Company’s securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Company’s securities may affect an investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of securities of the Company; the size of the Company’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Company’s securities; and a substantial decline in the price of the securities of the Company that persists for a significant period of time could cause the Company’s securities to be delisted from an exchange, further reducing market liquidity.

Securities class-action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. The Company may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and damages and divert management’s attention and resources.

There is an absence of a liquid trading market for the Company’s Common Shares.

Shareholders of the Company may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange or the NYSE or achieve listing on any other public listing exchange.

The Company is a “passive foreign investment company”, which may have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. Holders of Offered Shares.

U.S. Holders of Offered Shares should be aware that the Company believes it was a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) during the tax year ended December 31, 2013, that it will be a PFIC for the current tax year and, based on current business plans and financial expectations, the Company may remain a PFIC in future tax years. If the Company is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period, then such U.S. Holder generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of Offered Shares, or any so-called “excess distribution” received on its Offered Shares, as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distributions,

 

22


Table of Contents

unless the U.S. Holder makes a timely and effective “qualified electing fund” election (“QEF Election”) or a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the Offered Shares. A U.S. Holder who makes a QEF Election generally must report on a current basis its share of the Company’s net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which the Company is a PFIC, whether or not the Company distributes any amounts to its shareholders. A U.S. Holder who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the Offered Shares over the shareholder’s basis therein. This paragraph is qualified in its entirety by the discussion below under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations – Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations.” Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding the PFIC rules and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Offered Shares.

The Company, its principals and assets are located outside of the United States, which makes it difficult for U.S. litigants to effect service of process, or enforce, any judgments obtained against the Company or its officers or directors.

All of the Company’s assets are located outside of the United States and the Company does not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, most of the directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. litigants to effect service of process or enforce any judgments obtained against the Company or its officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Canada, Mexico and other jurisdictions would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in Canada, Mexico or other jurisdictions against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Further, any payments as a result of judgments obtained in Mexico could be in pesos and service of process in Mexico must be effectuated personally and not by mail.

All of the Company’s mineral assets are located outside of Canada.

As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within Canada any judgments obtained against the Company or its officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable securities laws. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Mexico and other jurisdictions would recognize or enforce judgments of Canadian courts obtained against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of Canada, or be competent to hear original actions brought in Mexico or other jurisdictions against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the securities laws of Canada. Further, any payments as a result of judgments obtained in Mexico should be in pesos and service of process in Mexico must be effectuated personally and not by mail.

If the Company’s shareholders sell substantial amounts of Common Shares following the Offering, the market price of the Common Shares could decrease.

Upon the completion of the Offering, the Company will have 68,784,622 outstanding Common Shares (assuming the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full and there is no exercise of the Company’s outstanding stock options). Additionally, the Company may grant options to acquire Common Shares representing up to 10% of its issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis under the Company’s stock option plan. The Company has agreed not to issue any additional Common Shares for a period of 90 days following the closing of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions. See “Plan of Distribution”.

The Company has outstanding stock options which, if exercised, could cause dilution to existing shareholders.

At July 8, 2014, the Company had 4,409,066 stock options issued and outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $8.43 per share. Stock options are likely to be exercised when the market price of the Company’s Common Shares exceeds the exercise price of such stock options. The exercise of such stock options and the subsequent resale of such Common Shares in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price and the Company’s ability to raise equity capital in the future at a time and price which it deems appropriate. The Company may also enter into commitments in the future which would require the issuance of additional Common Shares and the

 

23


Table of Contents

Company may grant additional share purchase warrants and stock options. Any share issuances from the Company’s treasury will result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders’ percentage interest in the Company.

The Company has outstanding restricted share units and deferred share units which, if redeemed, could cause dilution to existing shareholders.

At July 8, 2014, the Company had 55,279 restricted share units and 89,641 deferred share units issued and outstanding. Subject to vesting terms and conditions, restricted share units can be redeemed by the holder at their discretion into Common Shares of the Company. Deferred share units are issued to directors of the Company, and are only redeemable into Common Shares upon the death or retirement from, or loss of office or employment with, the Company. The redemption of such restricted and deferred share units and the subsequent resale of such Common Shares in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price and the Company’s ability to raise equity capital in the future at a time and price which it deems appropriate. The Company may also enter into commitments in the future which would require the issuance of additional Common Shares and the Company may grant additional restricted and deferred share units. Any share issuances from the Company’s treasury will result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders’ percentage interest in the Company.

The Company has discretion in the use of the net proceeds from the Offering.

However, management will have discretion in the actual application of the net proceeds, and may elect to allocate net proceeds differently from that described under “Use of Proceeds” if management believes it would be in the Company’s best interests to do so. Shareholders of the Company may not agree with the manner in which management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company has not paid dividends and may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Payment of dividends on the Company’s Common Shares is within the discretion of the Company’s Board and will depend upon the Company’s future earnings, its capital requirements and financial condition, and other relevant factors. The Company anticipates that all available funds will be invested to finance the growth of its business for the foreseeable future.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to the Company of the Offering are estimated approximately to be C$70,778,500 (C$81,470,275 if the Over Allotment Option is exercised in full) after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee and estimated expenses of the Offering in the amount of C$500,000). The net proceeds of the Offering represent the total funds available to the Company from the Offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering as follows:

 

     Net Proceeds      Net Proceeds
(including  the
Over-Allotment Option
 
     ($ Millions)  

Exploration expenditures at the Juanicipio Project

   C$ 70.7785       C$ 81.470275   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

C$60,778,500 of the net proceeds of the Offering (C$71,470,275 if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) will be used to satisfy the Company’s obligations to fund its 44% pro rata interest in the development of the Juanicipio Project. Although no feasibility study has been prepared in respect of the Juanicipio Project, and no formal production decision has been made, underground development on the Juanicipio Project was commenced by the Company’s joint venture partner, Fresnillo, in October, 2013 and is ongoing as at the date of this prospectus. In addition, Fresnillo has publicly reported that it expects that the Juanicipio Project will be in production by approximately 2018. Given Minera Juanicipio’s decision to proceed with the initial project development, the proceeds of the Offering are needed to continue to maintain the Company’s 44% interest in the Company as the actual and expected development continues, and to avoid dilution.

The Amended Technical Report, which recommended the advancement of the Juanicipio Project, provides the framework to guide the continued advancement of the project. Key milestones relating to the initial project development were laid out in the Amended Technical Report as follows:

Project Development Milestones

 

Milestone

   Period

Start access box cut and portal

   Month 1

Start access decline

   Month 3

Vein development commences

   Month 33

Commission primary ventilation shafts

   Month 35

First stope production

   Month 36

Mill start-up

   Month 42

The Company believes the timetable laid out in the Amended Technical Report is reasonable and attainable, but the actual schedule to production is still under review by Minera Juanicipio.

The initial Juanicipio Project underground development work is being carried out under the previously approved US$25.4 million Initial Development Budget. To date, approximately US$12.6 million has been funded by the joint venture partners (MAG’s share funded to date is US$5.5 million). The balance of this budget is to be funded in 2014 and early 2015 (MAG’s share remaining to be funded is US$5.7 million), and will focus on the access decline ramp advancement.

Table of Contents

Because Minera Juanicipio only approves budgets annually, it has not yet evaluated and proposed a budget for 2015 and beyond. The Amended Technical Report estimated total project capital at US$302 million (MAG’s share is US$133 million), inclusive of capitalized operating costs:

Totals do not necessarily equal the sum of the components due to rounding adjustments

The first 32 months of development focuses primarily on ramp decline and, therefore, the majority of the capital costs are expected to be incurred in the latter part of the development schedule. However, there may be significant lead time on Mine and Mill capital expenditures, requiring advance payments and deposits. The Company estimates that it will have enough cash after giving effect to the Offering, to fund its 44% of development cash calls for approximately the next 24-30 months. The scale and scope of the complete development of the Juanicipio Project will require capital over the next 3.5 years exceeding the Company’s cash on hand resources even after giving effect to the Offering and any over allotment exercised. In addition, the PEA is preliminary in nature, and actual costs and development time may exceed those laid out in the PEA. It is unlikely that the Company will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet the total capital obligation in the proposed development time frame. Accordingly the Company will need to raise significant additional capital in the future over and above the current Offering, and it continues to evaluate financing alternatives.

The Company has not completed a pre-feasibility study or feasibility study on the Juanicipio Project and, accordingly, there is no estimate of mineral reserves. Until any further technical studies are undertaken by Minera Juanicipio, any decision to continue development of the Juanicipio Project will be based upon the results of the 2012 PEA which are included in the Amended Technical Report. The preliminary economic assessment set out in the Amended Technical Report is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment set out in the Amended Technical Report will be realized. As a result, there are additional risks in commencing and completing construction based upon the Amended Technical Report including additional risks as to capital and operating costs, mineral recovery and financial viability. There is no guarantee that the construction will be completed or, if completed, that production will begin or that financial results will be consistent with the Amended Technical Report. See “Risk Factors”.

C$3,000,000 of the net proceeds of the Offering (C$3,000,000 if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) will be used to satisfy the Company’s obligations to fund its 44% pro rata interest in the exploration of the Juanicipio Project in both 2014 and 2015. The costs of proposed exploration in 2014 are expected to be US$2.7 million (MAG’s 44% share is US$1.2 million) in 2014 and are anticipated to be at similar levels for 2015. During 2014, the exploration program will seek new veins and look to trace structures and veins in neighbouring parts of the district onto the Minera Juanicipio joint venture ground.

C$7,000,000 of the net proceeds of the Offering (C$7,000,000 if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) will be used primarily for working capital and general and administrative expenses and the evaluation of strategic growth opportunities.

Although the Company intends to spend the funds available to it as stated in this short form prospectus, there may be circumstances, where for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary. The actual use of available funds will vary depending on the Company’s operating and capital needs from time to time and will be subject to the discretion of the management of the Company.

As the Company currently has no revenues, it experienced a negative operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2013, and it expects to experience a negative operating cash flow for the 2014 financial year. As noted

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. As at the date of this short form prospectus, 60,366,622 Common Shares and no preferred shares are issued and outstanding.

The shareholders of the Company are entitled to one vote for each Common Share on all matters to be voted on by the shareholders. Each Common Share is equal to every other Common Share and all Common Shares participate equally on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding up our affairs after the Company has paid out its liabilities. The shareholders are entitled to receive pro rata such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors

Table of Contents

out of funds legally available therefore and to receive pro rata the remaining property of the Company upon dissolution. No shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights, and no provisions for redemption, retraction, purchase or cancellation, surrender, sinking fund or purchase fund. Provisions as to the creation, modification, amendment or variation of such rights or such provisions are contained in the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and the articles of the Company.

On January 18, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved a shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan was adopted to ensure the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for Common Shares of the Company. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any proposal to acquire control of the Company. The Rights Plan provides for expiry at the end of the third annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders following initial approval, unless renewed by the shareholders. On February 22, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved certain amendments (the “Amendments”) to the Rights Plan in the form of an amended and restated shareholder rights plan agreement. On March 24, 2009, the Amendments were approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual and special meeting of shareholders and by the TSX. On May 14, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the continuation of the Rights Plan. On June 22, 2010, the continuation was approved by the shareholders at the annual and special meeting of Shareholders and by the TSX. On May 13, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company again approved the continuation of the Rights Plan. On June 18, 2013, the continuation of the Rights Plan was approved at the annual and special meeting of shareholders and by the TSX.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated June 27, 2014, as amended, between the Company and the Underwriters, the Company has agreed to sell and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase on the Closing Date, the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, payable in cash to the Company, against delivery of the certificates representing the Offered Shares, subject to compliance with all necessary legal requirements and to the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement. The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several and may be terminated at their discretion upon the occurrence of certain stated events as set out in the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to take up and pay for all of the securities if any of the securities are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement.

The Company has also granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters at any time until the date which is 30 days following the Closing Date, to purchase up to 1,098,000 Over-Allotment Shares at a price of C$10.25 per Over-Allotment Share, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. This short form prospectus also qualifies the grant of the Over-Allotment Option and the distribution of the Over-Allotment Securities upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total price to the public, the Underwriters’ Fee and the net proceeds to the Company (before deducting expenses of the Offering), will be C$86,284,500, C$4,314,225 and C$81,970,275, respectively.

The Offering Price was determined by negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters in accordance with the policies of the TSX.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters, and certain of their related parties, insofar as any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses caused by or arising directly or indirectly by reason of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement, provided however that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any such person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses which have resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct.

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Underwriters’ Fee (5.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering) in consideration for the services rendered in connection with the Offering. The Company has agreed to reimburse the Underwriters for reasonable fees and expenses, including legal and certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Offering, not to exceed 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering when combined with the Underwriters’ Fee. The Underwriters will not receive any other fee or commission from the Company in connection with the completion of the Offering.

The Company has agreed for a period of 90 days following the Closing Date not to issue, authorize or agree to issue or approve for issuance any Common Shares of the Company or any securities convertible or exchangeable for or exercisable to acquire Common Shares of the Company, subject to certain limited exceptions. In addition, the Company has agreed to cause each of its directors and senior officers to enter into lock-up agreements with BMO

Nesbitt Burns Inc. and Raymond James Ltd. evidencing their agreement not to offer, sell or resell any Common Shares or financial instruments or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares held by them or agree to or announce any such offer or sale for a period of 90 days following the Closing Date, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Pursuant to policy statements of certain Canadian securities regulators, the Underwriters may not, throughout the period of distribution, bid for or purchase Common Shares. The policy statements allow certain exceptions to the foregoing prohibitions. The Underwriters may only avail themselves of such exceptions on the condition that the bid or purchase not be engaged in for the purpose of creating actual or apparent active trading in, or raising the price of the Common Shares. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted under the Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian Marketplaces of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, relating to market stabilization and passive market making activities and a bid or purchase made for and on behalf of a customer where the order was not solicited during the period of distribution. Pursuant to the first mentioned exception, in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC is not registered as a dealer in any Canadian jurisdiction and, accordingly, will only sell Common Shares into the United States and will not, directly or indirectly, solicit offers to purchase or sell the Common Shares in Canada.

The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price. After the Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, the offering price of the Offered Shares may be decreased and may be further changed from time to time to an amount not greater than the Offering Price, and the compensation realized by those Underwriters who sell their proportionate share of the Offered Shares at a reduced price will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for such Offered Shares is less than the price paid by the applicable Underwriters to the Company. Notwithstanding any reduction by the Underwriters in the offering price of the Offered Shares, the Company will still receive net proceeds of C$9.7375 per Offered Share after payment of the Underwriters’ Fee.

Subscriptions for the Offered Shares will be received, subject to rejection or allotment, in whole or in part, and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, counsel to the Company, and Stikeman Elliott LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, the following is, as of the date of this short form prospectus, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) generally applicable to an investor who acquires Offered Shares pursuant to the Offering and who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, deals at arm’s length with the Company and the Underwriters, is not affiliated with the Company or the Underwriters, and who acquires and holds the Offered Shares as capital property (a “Holder”). Generally, the Offered Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder thereof provided that the Holder does not use the Offered Shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and such Holder has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary does not apply to a Holder (i) that is a “financial institution” for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; (iii), an interest in which would be a “tax shelter investment” as defined in the Tax Act; (iv) that has made a functional currency reporting election under the Tax Act; or (v) that has or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement”, as that term is defined in the Tax Act, with respect to the Offered Shares. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in Offered Shares.

Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada, and is, or becomes as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of the Offered Shares, controlled by a non-resident corporation for purposes of the “foreign affiliate dumping” rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the consequences of acquiring Offered Shares.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”) in force as of the date hereof and counsel’s understanding of the current published administrative and assessing

practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”). This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, although no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account any changes in law or in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account or consider any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax considerations, which considerations may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed in this summary.

This summary is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Resident Holders

The following section of this summary applies to Holders (“Resident Holders”) who, for the purposes of the Tax Act, are or are deemed to be resident in Canada at all relevant times. Certain Resident Holders whose Offered Shares might not constitute capital property may make, in certain circumstances, an irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to deem the Offered Shares, and every other “Canadian security” as defined in the Tax Act, held by such persons, in the taxation year of the election and each subsequent taxation year to be capital property. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding this election.

Dividends

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the Offered Shares will be included in computing a Resident Holder’s income. In the case of an individual (other than certain trusts), such dividends will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable in respect of “taxable dividends” received from “taxable Canadian corporations” (as defined in the Tax Act). An enhanced dividend tax credit will be available to individuals in respect of “eligible dividends” designated by the Company to the Resident Holder in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act.

Dividends received or deemed to be received by a corporation that is a Resident Holder on the Offered Shares must be included in computing its income but generally will be deductible in computing its taxable income. A Resident Holder that is a “private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) and certain other corporations controlled by or for the benefit of an individual (other than a trust) or related group of individuals (other than trusts) generally will be liable to pay a 331/3% refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act on dividends received or deemed to be received on the Offered Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing taxable income. This refundable tax generally will be refunded to a corporate Resident Holder at the rate of $1.00 for $3.00 of taxable dividends paid while it is a private corporation.

Dispositions of Offered Shares

Upon a disposition (or a deemed disposition) of an Offered Share, a Resident Holder generally will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of such Offered Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, are greater (or are less) than the adjusted cost base of such Offered Share, to the Resident Holder. The tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed in greater detail below under the subheading “Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, a Resident Holder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized in the year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized in the year by such Resident Holder. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any following taxation year against taxable capital gains realized in such year to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

Table of Contents

The amount of any capital loss realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of Offered Shares by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to have been received by it on such shares or shares substituted for such shares to the extent and in the circumstance specified by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a Resident Holder that is a corporation is a member of a partnership or beneficiary of a trust that owns such shares or that itself is a member of a partnership of a beneficiary of a trust that owns such shares. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

A Resident Holder that is throughout the relevant taxation year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) also may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax of 6 2/3% on its “aggregate investment income” for the year which will include taxable capital gains. This refundable tax generally will be refunded to a corporate Resident Holder at the rate of $1.00 for $3.00 of taxable dividends paid while it is a private corporation.

Minimum Tax

Capital gains realized and dividends received by a Resident Holder that is an individual or a trust, other than certain specified trusts, may give rise to minimum tax under the Tax Act.

Non-Resident Holders

The following section of this summary is generally applicable to Holders (“Non-Resident Holders”) who (i) for the purposes of the Tax Act, have not been and will not be deemed to be resident in Canada at any time while they hold the Offered Shares; and (ii) do not use or hold the Offered Shares in carrying on a business in Canada. Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Dividends

Dividends paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder by the Company are subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% on the gross amount of the dividend unless such rate is reduced by the terms of an applicable tax treaty. Under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) (the “Treaty”) as amended, the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder who is resident in the U.S. for purposes of the Treaty and entitled to benefits under the Treaty (a “U.S. Holder”) is generally limited to 15% of the gross amount of the dividend (or 5% in the case of a U.S. Holder that is a company beneficially owning at least 10% of the Company’s voting shares). Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Dispositions of Offered Shares

A Non-Resident Holder generally will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of an Offered Share, nor will capital losses arising therefrom be recognized under the Tax Act, unless the Offered Share constitutes “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Holder thereof for purposes of the Tax Act, and the gain is not exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable tax treaty.

Provided the Offered Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange”, as defined in the Tax Act (which includes the TSX and NYSE MKT), at the time of disposition, the Offered Shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder at that time, unless at any time during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition the following two conditions are met concurrently: (i) the Non-Resident Holder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length holds a membership interest (either directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships), or the Non-Resident Holder together with all such persons, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of the Company; and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Offered Shares of the Company was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, Canadian resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act), timber resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act) or an option, an interest or right in such property, whether or not such property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Offered Share may otherwise be deemed to be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act.

A Non-Resident Holder’s capital gain (or capital loss) in respect of Offered Shares that constitute or are deemed to constitute taxable Canadian property (and are not “treaty-protected property” as defined in the Tax Act) will generally be computed in the manner described above under the subheading “Resident Holders – Dispositions of Offered Shares”.

Non-Resident Holders whose Offered Shares are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Treasury Department Circular 230. To ensure compliance with Treasury Department Circular 230, each holder and/or purchaser of Offered Shares is hereby notified that: (a) any discussion of tax issues herein is not intended or written to be relied upon, and cannot be relied upon, by a holder and/or purchaser for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on such holder and/or purchaser under applicable tax law; (b) such discussion is included herein in connection with the promotion or marketing (within the meaning of Circular 230) of the offer to sell Offered Shares by the Company; and (c) a holder and/or purchaser of any Offered Shares should seek advice based on its particular circumstances from an independent advisor.

General

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Offered Shares that are applicable to U.S. Holders, as defined below, that acquire Offered Shares pursuant to this offering. This discussion is not a complete analysis or listing of all of the possible tax consequences of such transactions and does not address all tax considerations that might be relevant to particular holders in light of their personal circumstances or to persons that are subject to special tax rules. In particular, the information set forth below deals only with U.S. Holders that will hold Offered Shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment) and that do not own, and are not treated as owning, at any time, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s stock entitled to vote. In addition, this description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences does not address the tax treatment of special classes of U.S. Holders, such as (i) financial institutions, (ii) regulated investment companies, (iii) real estate investment trusts, (iv) tax-exempt entities, (v) insurance companies, (vi) persons holding the Offered Shares as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, constructive sale or “straddle,” (vii) persons who acquired Offered Shares through the exercise or cancellation of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for their services, (viii) U.S. expatriates, (ix) persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, (x) dealers or traders in securities or currencies, (xi) holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. This summary does not address estate and gift tax consequences or tax consequences under any state, local or foreign laws.

For purposes of this section, a “U.S. Holder” is (1) an individual citizen of the United States or a resident alien of the United States; (2) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (4) a trust (A) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership or other pass-through entity is a beneficial owner of Offered Shares, the tax treatment of a partner or other owner will generally depend upon the status of the partner (or other owner) and the activities of the entity. Partners (or other owners) of a pass-through entity that acquire Offered Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of Offered Shares.

The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements, existing and proposed Treasury regulations, all as in effect as of the date hereof. All of the preceding authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. The Company has not requested, and will not request, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and as a result there can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions the Company has reached and describe herein.

The following discussion is for general information only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of Offered Shares and no opinion or representation with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Prospective purchasers are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them under U.S. federal, state and local, and applicable foreign, tax laws of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Offered Shares.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

Special and generally unfavourable U.S. federal income tax rules may apply to a U.S. Holder if its holding period in Offered Shares includes any period during a taxable year of the Company in which the Company is a PFIC. A non-United States corporation is a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for each taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the average value of its assets are assets that either produce or are held for the production of passive income. Special rules apply to corporations where at least 25% of the stock by value, is owned, directly or indirectly, by a non-United States corporation (“Lower-Tier Corporation”). For purposes of determining whether the Company is a PFIC, it will be treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of any Lower-Tier Corporation and received directly its proportionate share of the income of any Lower-Tier Corporation.

Based on the scope of its current and projected operations, the Company believes that it is currently a PFIC and may remain a PFIC in future years. The determination of the Company’s PFIC status for any year is very fact-specific, and there can be no assurance in this regard. If the Company is classified as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder holds Offered Shares, the Company will generally continue to be treated as a PFIC to such holder in all succeeding years, regardless of whether the Company continues to meet the income or asset test discussed above.

If the Company is a PFIC, and a U.S. Holder does not make a timely QEF or mark-to-market election (a “Non-Electing Holder”), then special taxation rules will apply to (i) gains realized on the disposition of such U.S. Holder’s Offered Shares and (ii) certain “excess distributions” (generally, distributions received in the current taxable year that are in excess of 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding years or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period) by the Company. Pursuant to these rules, a Non-Electing Holder generally would be required to pro rate all gains realized on the disposition of any of its Offered Shares and all excess distributions on its Offered Shares over its entire holding period. All gains or excess distributions allocated to prior years of a U.S. Holder (other than any year before the first taxable year of the Company during such U.S. Holder’s holding period for which it was a PFIC) would be taxed at the highest tax rate for each such prior year applicable to ordinary income. A Non-Electing Holder also would be liable for interest on the foregoing tax liability for each such prior year calculated as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year but had not been paid until the taxable year within which the gains or excess distributions have occurred. The balance of the gain or the excess distribution would be treated as ordinary income in the year of the disposition or distribution, and no interest charge would be incurred with respect to such balance.

Some of the companies in which the Company holds an interest likely will be treated as PFICs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, some of those companies may hold interests companies that are also treated as PFICs. U.S. Holders of Offered Shares will generally be treated as owning an indirect equity interest in any such PFICs (“Lower-Tier PFICs”) and could be subject to certain adverse tax consequences.

If the Company is a PFIC during any year and the Company owns an indirect interest in any Lower-Tier PFICs during such year, U.S. Holders will be treated as owning directly such proportionate amount (by value) of the Company’s direct or indirect interests in the Lower-Tier PFICs. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder will be subject to the adverse tax consequences described above with respect to any excess distributions made by such Lower-Tier PFIC, any gain on the disposition by the Company (or another Lower-Tier PFIC) of the Company’s (or its) equity interest in such Lower-Tier PFIC treated as indirectly realized by such U.S. Holder, and any gain treated as indirectly realized by such U.S. Holder on the disposition of its ownership of the Offered Shares which may arise even if such U.S. Holder realizes an overall net loss on such disposition. Such amount will not be reduced by the Company’s expenses or losses, but any income recognized may increase such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Offered Shares. Furthermore, any gain realized on the direct or indirect disposition by a U.S. Holder of an interest in a Lower-Tier PFIC will not be able to be offset by any loss realized on the direct or indirect disposition of other Lower-Tier PFICs.

Accordingly, U.S. Holders should be aware that such U.S. Holder could be subject to tax even if no distributions are received from the Company and no redemptions or other dispositions of Offered Shares are made. The Company may not be able to provide U.S. Holders with the information that would be necessary to calculate the amount, if any, of such tax that may be due.

Under the Code, a U.S. Holder of shares of a PFIC may make a QEF election with respect to shares of the PFIC. Upon request, the Company expects to provide U.S. Holders with the information that is necessary to make a QEF election. If

 

34


Table of Contents

a U.S. Holder were eligible for and timely made a QEF election, such U.S. Holder would include in income each year for which the Company is a PFIC (and be subject to current U.S. federal income tax on) such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of the Company’s ordinary earnings, as ordinary income, and net capital gains, as long-term capital gain, for the Company’s taxable year that ends with or within such U.S. Holder’s taxable year, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Offered Shares would be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions of earnings and profits that had been previously taxed would result in a corresponding reduction in a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Company’s Offered Shares and would not be taxed again. A U.S. Holder would not, however, be entitled to a deduction for such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of any losses that the Company incurred with respect to any year. In certain cases in which the Company did not distribute all of its earnings in a taxable year, a U.S. Holder might also be permitted to elect to defer payment of some or all of the taxes on the Company’s income, subject to an interest charge on the deferred amount. U.S. Holders would generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Offered Shares. U.S. Holders would generally make a QEF election with respect to the first year during which the Company were at any time a PFIC by filing the appropriate form with such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return. The QEF election is made on a shareholder by shareholder basis and can only be revoked with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences of making a QEF election.

If the Company is a PFIC and the Offered Shares are considered “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules, a U.S. Holder may avoid the imposition of the additional tax and interest described above by making a mark-to-market election in the first year of its holding period in such Offered Shares. The Offered Shares will be marketable stock if they are regularly traded on a qualifying exchange that is either (i) a national securities exchange which is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the national market system established pursuant to the Exchange Act, or (ii) any exchange or other market that the United States Treasury Department determines is adequate. The Company believes that the NYSE and TSX meet this test, and accordingly, provided that the Offered Shares are regularly traded on the NYSE or TSX, a U.S. Holder should be able to make a mark-to-market election with respect to the Offered Shares if the Company is classified as a PFIC. If a U.S. Holder chooses to make a mark-to-market election, such U.S. Holder must include in ordinary income for each taxable year for which the election is in effect, and during which the Company is a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Offered Shares as of the close of the taxable year over its adjusted tax basis in the Offered Shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder may claim an ordinary loss deduction for the excess, if any, of its adjusted tax basis in the Offered Shares over the fair market value of the Offered Shares at the close of the taxable year, but only to the extent of any prior net mark-to-market gains. U.S. Holders considering the mark-to-market election should note that although it generally avoids the interest charge associated with PFICs as described above, the application of the rules regarding indirect interests in Lower-Tier PFICs (as described above) to the mark-to-market election is not entirely clear under current law. Accordingly, it may well be that a mark-to-market election would not be effective with respect to interests in a Lower-Tier PFIC. If the mark-to-market election is not effective with respect to interests in a Lower-Tier PFIC, then U.S. Holders may be subject to the adverse tax consequences described above with respect to any interests in a Lower-Tier PFIC. A mark-to-market election is not available for shares of Lower-Tier PFICs because such shares are not marketable stock (as described above). U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences of making a mark-to-market election.

Notwithstanding any election made with respect to Offered Shares, dividends received with respect to the Company’s shares will not constitute qualified dividends if the Company is a PFIC in either the year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year. Dividends that do not constitute qualified dividends are not eligible for taxation at the reduced tax rate discussed below in “United States Income Tax Considerations – Distributions.” Instead, such dividends would be subject to tax at ordinary income rates.

If the Company is a PFIC, each U.S. Holder of Offered Shares may be required to file an annual report with the IRS and failure to file such report could result in the imposition of penalties on such U.S. Holder. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the requirement to file an annual report and the penalties that may apply for failing to file such annual report.

Distributions

Subject to the discussion of the PFIC rules discussed above, the gross amount of any distribution paid by the Company will generally be subject to United States federal income tax as foreign source dividend income to the extent paid out

 

35


Table of Contents

of its current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such amount will be includable in gross income by U.S. Holders as ordinary income on the date that the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives its distribution in accordance with its regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of any distribution made by the Company in property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of the distribution. Dividends paid by the Company will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations.

Subject to applicable exceptions with respect to short-term and hedged positions, certain dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders from a qualified foreign corporation (“QFC”) may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation (“qualified dividends”). A QFC includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that the U.S. Treasury Department determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and that includes an exchange of information provision. The U.S. Treasury has determined that the United States—Canada Income Tax Convention meets these requirements, and the Company believes that it is eligible for the benefits of the Tax Convention. A foreign corporation is also treated as a QFC with respect to dividends paid by that corporation on ordinary shares that are readily tradeable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that the Company’s Offered Shares are readily tradeable on an established securities market in the U.S.; however, there can be no assurance that the Offered Shares will be considered readily tradeable on an established securities market in future years. Dividends received by U.S. investors from a foreign corporation that was a PFIC in either the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year will not constitute qualified dividends (see “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations – Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations”).

To the extent a distribution exceeds the amount of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of a U.S. Holder’s Offered Shares (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing the amount of loss, to be recognized upon a subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares), with any amount that exceeds the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis being taxed as a capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange (as discussed below). However, the Company does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and U.S. Holders should therefore assume that any distribution with respect to Offered Shares will constitute ordinary dividend income.

Subject to certain limitations, any Canadian tax withheld with respect to distributions made on the Offered Shares will be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. Alternatively, U.S. Holders may, subject to applicable limitations, elect to deduct the otherwise creditable Canadian withholding taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and involve the application of rules that depend upon a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

The gross amount of distributions paid in any foreign currency will be included by U.S. Holders in income in a dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day the distributions are paid regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of the payment, U.S. Holders should not be required to recognize any foreign currency gain or loss with respect to the receipt of foreign currency as distributions. If, instead, the foreign currency is converted at a later date, any currency gains or losses resulting from the conversion of the foreign currency will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Offered Shares

Subject to the discussion of the PFIC rules discussed above, U.S. Holders generally will recognize gain or loss upon the taxable sale, exchange or other disposition of Offered Shares in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Offered Shares. Generally, such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, on the date of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition, the U.S. Holder has held the Offered Shares for more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax at preferred rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.

Table of Contents

A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the Offered Shares will be the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollar denominated purchase price determined on the date of purchase. If the Offered Shares are treated as traded on an “established securities market,” a cash basis U.S. Holder (or, if it elects, an accrual basis U.S. Holder) will determine the U.S. dollar value of the cost of such Offered Shares by translating the amount paid at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the purchase. The conversion of U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars and the immediate use of that currency to purchase common shares will generally not result in taxable gain or loss for a U.S. Holder.

Gain or loss, if any, that U.S. Holders realize upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Offered Shares will be treated as having a United States source for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Consequently, U.S. Holders may not be able to use any foreign tax credits arising from any Canadian tax imposed on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Offered Shares unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources or unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise.

If U.S. Holders receive any foreign currency on the sale of Offered Shares, U.S. Holders may recognize ordinary income or loss as a result of currency fluctuations between the date of the sale of Offered Shares and the date the sale proceeds are converted into U.S. dollars.

Additional Tax on Passive Income

An additional 3.8% tax will generally be imposed on the “net investment income” of individuals, estates and trusts whose income exceeds certain thresholds. “Net investment income” generally includes the following: (1) gross income from interest and dividends other than from the conduct of a non-passive trade or business; (2) other gross income from a passive trade or business; and (3) net gain attributable to the disposition of property other than property held in a non-passive trade or business. Therefore, dividends on, and capital gains from the sale or other taxable disposition of, the Offered Shares may be subject to this additional tax.

United States Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax

Under U.S. federal income tax law and regulations, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. In addition, new U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties for failure to disclose) have also been imposed on United States individuals that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of US$50,000. The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also may include the Offered Shares. U.S. Holders of Offered Shares should consult with their tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing any information returns.

Dividends on Offered Shares and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Offered Shares that are paid in the United States or by a United States-related financial intermediary will be subject to United States information reporting rules, unless a U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient. In addition, payments that are subject to information reporting may be subject to backup withholding (at a 28% rate) if a U.S. Holder does not provide its taxpayer identification number and otherwise comply with the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are available to be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may be refunded to the extent they exceed such liability, provided the required information is provided to the IRS in a timely manner.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, counsel to the Company, and Stikeman Elliott LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and the Regulations, an Offered Share, if issued on the date hereof, will be a “qualified investment” under the Tax Act and the Regulations for a trust governed by a “registered retirement savings plan” (“RRSP”), “registered retirement income fund” (“RRIF”), “tax-free savings account” (“TFSA”), “registered education savings plan”, “deferred profit sharing plan” or “registered disability savings plan” (as those terms are defined in the Tax Act).

 

38


Table of Contents

Notwithstanding that an Offered Share may be a qualified investment for a TFSA, RRSP or RRIF (a “Registered Plan”), if the Offered Share is a “prohibited investment” within the meaning of the Tax Act for a Registered Plan, the holder or annuitant of the Registered Plan, as the case may be, will be subject to penalty taxes as set out in the Tax Act. An Offered Share will generally not be a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan if the holder or annuitant, as the case may be, (i) deals at arm’s length with the Company for the purposes of the Tax Act, and (ii) does not have a “significant interest” (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Company. In addition, an Offered Share will not be a “prohibited investment” if the Offered Share is “excluded property” as defined in the Tax Act for a Registered Plan.

Purchasers of the Offered Shares should consult their own tax advisers with respect to whether Offered Shares would be prohibited investments having regard to their particular circumstances.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED

TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

Indemnification

The Registrant is subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Act”).

Under Section 160(a) of the Act, and subject to Section 163 of the Act, an individual who:

 

 

 

is or was a director or officer of the Registrant,

 

 

 

is or was a director or officer of another corporation (i) at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Registrant, or (ii) at the request of the Registrant, or

 

 

 

at the request of the Registrant, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity,

and includes, except in the definition of “eligible proceeding” and except in sections 163(1)(c) and (d) and 165 of the Act, the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual (collectively, an “eligible party”), may be indemnified by the Registrant against all eligible penalties (as defined herein) to which the eligible party is or may be liable. Section 160(b) of the Act permits the Registrant to pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party after the final disposition of the eligible proceeding (as defined herein).

Under Section 159 of the Act, an “eligible penalty” is defined as a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding. An “eligible proceeding” means a proceeding (as defined herein) in which an eligible party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the Registrant or an associated corporation, (a) is or may be joined as a party, or (b) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding. A “proceeding” includes any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed.

Under Section 161 of the Act, and subject to Section 163 of the Act, the Registrant must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party (a) has not been reimbursed for those expenses, and (b) is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of the proceeding or is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding.

Under Section 162 of the Act, and subject to Section 163 of the Act, the Registrant may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding; provided the Registrant must not make such payments unless it first receives from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited by Section 163, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.

Under Section 163(1) of the Act, the Registrant must not indemnify an eligible party under Section 160(a) of the Act, or pay the expenses of an eligible party in respect of that proceeding under Sections 160(b), 161 or 162 of the Act, as the case may be, if any of the following circumstances apply:

 

 

 

if the indemnity or payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the agreement to indemnify or pay expenses was made, the Registrant was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;

 

 

 

if the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the Registrant is prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;

 

 

 

if, in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or the associated corporation, as the case may be; or

 

 

 

in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party’s conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.

Under Section 163(2) of the Act, if an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf of the Registrant or by or on behalf of an associated corporation, the Registrant must neither indemnify the eligible party under Section

 

II-1


Table of Contents

160(a) of the Act in respect of the proceeding, nor pay the expenses of the eligible party under Sections 160, 161 or 162 of the Act in respect of the proceeding.

Under Section 164 of the Act, despite any other provision of Division 5—Indemnification of Directors and Officers and Payment of Expenses under the Act and whether or not payment of expenses or indemnification has been sought, authorized or declined under such Division, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may, on application of the Registrant or an eligible party, may:

 

 

 

order the Registrant to indemnify an eligible party against any liability incurred by the eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

 

 

 

order the Registrant to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

 

 

 

order the enforcement of, or any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by the Registrant;

 

 

 

order the Registrant to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any person in obtaining an order under this section; or

 

 

 

make any other order the Court considers appropriate.

The articles of a company may affect its power or obligation to give an indemnity or pay expenses. As indicated above, this is subject to the overriding power of the Court under Section 164 of the Act.

Under Article 21 of the articles of MAG Silver Corp. (the “Articles”), the Registrant must indemnify a director, former director or alternate director of the Registrant and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Registrant must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Each director and alternate director is deemed to have contracted with the Registrant on the terms of the indemnity contained in Article 21 of the Articles.

Subject to any restrictions in the Act, the Registrant may indemnify any person.

The failure of a director, alternate director or officer of the Registrant to comply with the Act or the Articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under the Article 21 of the Articles.

For the purposes of the Articles, an “eligible penalty” means a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding. An “eligible proceeding” means a legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed, in which a director, former director or alternate director of the Registrant (an “eligible party”) or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or alternate director of the Registrant, (a) is or may be joined as a party, or (b) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding. “Expenses” has the meaning set out in the Act.

Under the Articles, the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who:

 

 

 

is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant;

 

 

 

is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Registrant;

 

 

 

at the request of the Registrant, is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;

 

 

 

at the request of the Registrant, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director, alternate director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;

against any liability incurred by him or her as such director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Vancouver, BC

V6C 2V6

 

Attention:

  

Mr. George Paspalas

  

President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Mr. Paspalas:

BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. (“BMO Capital Markets”) and Raymond James Ltd. (together, the “Lead Underwriters”), and Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd., Scotia Capital Inc., H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“HCW”), National Bank Financial Inc., TD Securities Inc. and PI Financial Corp. (together with the Lead Underwriters, the “Underwriters” and each individually an “Underwriter”) hereby severally, and not jointly nor jointly and severally, offer to purchase from MAG Silver Corp. (the “Corporation”) in the respective percentages set forth in Section 22 hereof, and the Corporation hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriters, upon and subject to the terms hereof, an aggregate of 7,320,000 common shares of the Corporation (the “Firm Shares”) on an underwritten basis at a price of $10.25 per Firm Share (the “Offering Price”) for an aggregate purchase price of $75,030,000.

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Corporation hereby grants to the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase severally, and not jointly nor jointly and severally, in the respective percentages set forth in Section 22 hereof, up to an additional 1,098,000 common shares of the Corporation (the “Additional Shares”) at a price of $10.25 per Additional Share for the purposes of covering over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised in accordance with Section 16 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Offered Shares”. HCW will not, directly or indirectly, solicit offers to purchase or sell Offered Shares in Canada.

The Corporation has filed under and as required by Canadian Securities Laws (as hereinafter defined) a preliminary short form prospectus with each of the Canadian Securities Commissions (as hereinafter defined) relating to the distribution of the Offered Shares (such short form prospectus, including the Documents Incorporated by Reference (as hereinafter defined), the “Initial Canadian Preliminary Prospectus”) and has obtained a Dual Prospectus Receipt (as hereinafter defined) therefor. In addition, the Corporation has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-197044) registering the distribution of the Offered Shares under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, including the Initial Canadian Preliminary Prospectus (with such deletions therefrom and additions thereto as are permitted or required by Form F-10 and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC) (such registration statement, including the exhibits and any


schedules thereto, the Documents Incorporated by Reference and the documents otherwise deemed under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC to be a part thereof or included therein, the “Initial Registration Statement”).

The Corporation shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on June 27, 2014 and on a basis acceptable to the Underwriters, acting reasonably, prepare and file under and as required by Canadian Securities Laws with each of the Canadian Securities Commissions an amended and restated Initial Canadian Preliminary Prospectus (such short form prospectus, including the Documents Incorporated by Reference, the “Amended and Restated Canadian Preliminary Prospectus”) and all other required documents and obtain a Dual Prospectus Receipt therefor no later than 12:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on June 30, 2014. The Corporation shall also, immediately after the filing of the Amended and Restated Canadian Preliminary Prospectus and on a basis acceptable to the Underwriters, acting reasonably, prepare and file with the SEC a pre-effective amendment to the Initial Registration Statement, including the Amended and Restated Canadian Preliminary Prospectus (with such deletions therefrom and additions thereto as are permitted or required by Form F-10 and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC) (such amended registration statement, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto, the Documents Incorporated by Reference and the documents otherwise deemed under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC to be a part thereof or included therein, the “Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement”).

The Corporation shall prepare and file forthwith after clearance for the Offering has been obtained from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and any comments with respect to the Amended and Restated Canadian Preliminary Prospectus have been received from, and have been resolved with, the Commission (as hereinafter defined), and on a basis acceptable to the Underwriters, acting reasonably, and on the terms set out below, under and as required by Canadian Securities Laws with each of the Canadian Securities Commissions a (final) short form prospectus (such short form prospectus, including the Documents Incorporated by Reference, the “Canadian Final Prospectus”) and all other required documents, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not previously been filed, in order to qualify for distribution to the public the Offered Shares in each of the provinces of Canada other than the Province of Quebec (the “Qualifying Jurisdictions”) through the Underwriters or any other investment dealer or broker registered to transact such business in the applicable Qualifying Jurisdictions contracting with the Underwriters and obtain a Dual Prospectus Receipt therefor no later than July 9, 2014. The Corporation shall also, immediately after the filing of the Canadian Final Prospectus and on a basis acceptable to the Underwriters, acting reasonably, file with the SEC a pre-effective amendment to the Initial Registration Statement, including the Canadian Final Prospectus (with such deletions therefrom and additions thereto as are permitted or required by Form F-10 and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC) (such amended registration statement, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto, the Documents Incorporated by Reference and the documents otherwise deemed under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC to be a part thereof or included therein, the “Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement”) and cause the Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement to become effective under the U.S. Securities Act unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing (the Initial Registration Statement, as amended at the time it becomes effective, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto, the Documents Incorporated by Reference and the documents otherwise deemed under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC to be a part thereof or included therein, the “Registration Statement”).

any change in any material fact (which for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to include the disclosure of any previously undisclosed material fact) contained in the Canadian Offering Documents, as they exist immediately prior to such change, which fact or change is, or may reasonably be expected to be, of such a nature as to render any statement in such Canadian Offering Documents, as they exist taken together in their entirety immediately prior to such change, misleading or untrue in any material respect or which would result in the Canadian Offering Documents, as they exist immediately prior to such change, containing a misrepresentation or which would result in the Canadian Offering Documents, as they exist immediately prior to such change, not complying with the laws of any Qualifying Jurisdiction in which the Offered Shares are to be offered for sale or which change would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value of any securities of the Corporation; or

 

 

(d)

the occurrence of any event as a result of which (i) the Initial Registration Statement, the Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, the Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement or any U.S. Registration Statement Amendment, in each case as amended immediately prior to such occurrence, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make

Section 9 Indemnification

 

(1)

The Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless each of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents thereof (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and individually an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses (other than losses of profits), claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Parties’ counsel that may be incurred in advising with respect to or defending such claim), in any capacity under any statute or common law or otherwise insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities, suits, proceedings, costs or actions arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, upon the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by the Indemnified Parties or otherwise in connection with the matters referred to in this Agreement, including, whether performed before or after the execution of this Agreement by the Corporation without limitation, in any way caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from, or in consequence of:

 

 

(a)

(i) any information or statement, contained in any Canadian Offering Document, which at the time and in light of the circumstances under which it was made contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in an Offering Document or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act or (B) in any other materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Corporation in connection with the Offering, or (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Offering Document, in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act or in any other materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Corporation in connection with the Offering, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of any prospectus) not misleading; provided, however, that the Corporation will not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that any such expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities, suits, proceedings, costs or actions arise out of or are based upon any such misrepresentation, untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Lead Underwriters expressly for use therein;

 

 

(b)

the breach of, or default under, any term, condition, covenant or agreement of the Corporation made or contained herein or in any other document of the Corporation delivered pursuant hereto or made by the Corporation in connection with the sale of the Offered Shares or the breach of any representation or warranty of the Corporation made or contained herein or in any other document of the Corporation delivered pursuant hereto or in connection with the sale of the Offered Shares being or being alleged to be untrue, false or misleading;

 

29


 

(c)

any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceeding commenced or threatened by any securities regulatory authority, stock exchange or by any other competent authority or any change of law or the interpretation or administration thereof which prevents or restricts the trading in or the sale of the Corporation’s securities or the distribution of the Offered Shares in any jurisdiction; or

 

 

(d)

the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance by the Corporation with any of the Applicable Securities Laws relating to or connected with the distribution of the Offered Shares, including the Corporation’s non-compliance with any statutory requirement to make any document available for inspection, but excluding any non-compliance resulting from actions of an Underwriter not in compliance with Applicable Securities Laws;

provided that none of the foregoing indemnities apply if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal can be made or a regulatory authority in a final ruling from which no appeal can be made shall determine that the liabilities, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, costs, damages or expenses resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of an Indemnified Party claiming indemnity, in which case such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse to the Corporation any funds advanced to the Indemnified Party in respect of such Claim and the indemnity provided for in this Section 9 shall cease to apply to such Indemnified Party in respect of such Claim. For greater certainty, the Corporation and the Underwriters agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Underwriters to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Underwriters with reasonable grounds for believing the Offering Document contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “gross negligence” or “wilful misconduct” for the purposes of this Section 9 or otherwise disentitle the Underwriters from indemnification hereunder.

 

(2)

If any claim contemplated by this Section 9 shall be asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, or if any potential claim contemplated by this Section 9 shall come to the knowledge of any of the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Party concerned shall notify in writing the Corporation as soon as possible of the nature of such claim (provided that any failure to so notify in respect of any potential claim shall affect the liability of the Corporation under this Section 9 only to the extent that the Corporation is prejudiced by such failure). The Corporation shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence on behalf of the Indemnified Party of any suit brought to enforce such claim; provided that the defence shall be through legal counsel selected by the Corporation and acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, and no admission of liability shall be made by the Corporation or the Indemnified Party without, in each case, the prior written consent of all the Indemnified Parties affected and the Corporation. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:

 

 

(a)

the Corporation fails to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after receiving notice of such suit;

 

30


 

(b)

the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Corporation; or

 

 

(c)

the named parties to any such suit (including any added or third parties) include the Indemnified Party and the Corporation and the Indemnified Party and the Corporation shall have been advised in writing by counsel that representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel for the Corporation is inappropriate as a result of the potential or actual conflicting interests of those represented;

in each of cases (a), (b) or (c), the Corporation shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party, but the Corporation shall only be liable to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction. In no event shall the Corporation be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one set of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in respect of any particular claim or set of claims in one jurisdiction. No settlement may be made by an Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Corporation, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(3)

To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agreement, the Underwriters hold the right and benefit of this section in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

 

(4)

The Corporation shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened claim, investigation, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

Section 10 Contribution

 

(1)

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided in Section 9 hereof would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason not solely attributable to any one or more of the Indemnified Parties, held to be unavailable to or unenforceable by the Indemnified Parties or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the Underwriters and the Corporation shall contribute to the aggregate of all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses and all losses (other than losses of profits or consequential damages) of the nature contemplated in Section 9 hereof and suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties in proportions as is appropriate to reflect: (i) as between the Corporation and the Underwriters, the relative benefits received by the Underwriters, on the one hand (being the Underwriting Fee), and the relative benefits received by the Corporation, on the other hand (being the net proceeds of the Offering, before expenses) from the Offering; and (ii) as between the Corporation and the Underwriters, the relative fault of the Corporation, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand; provided that the Underwriters

 

31


shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the Underwriting Fee or any portion thereof actually received. However, no party who has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgement to have engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence shall be entitled to claim contribution from any person who has not been so determined to have engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

 

(2)

The rights to contribution provided in this Section 10 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Indemnified Parties may have by statute or otherwise at law provided that Section 10(1) of this Section 10 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, in respect of such other right.

 

(3)

Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of commencement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against the other party under this section, notify such party from whom contribution may be sought. In no case shall such party from whom contribution may be sought be liable under this Agreement unless such notice has been provided, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have otherwise than under this Section 10, except to the extent such party is materially prejudiced by the failure to receive such notice. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the number of Offered Shares to be purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.

Section 11 Covenants of the Corporation

 

(1)

The Corporation covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that:

 

 

(a)

the Corporation will advise the Underwriters, promptly after receiving notice thereof, of the time when each Offering Document or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been filed, when any Dual Prospectus Receipt has been obtained and when the Registration Statement becomes effective, and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Underwriters of each such filing and a copy of each such Dual Prospectus Receipt;

 

 

(b)

between the date hereof and the date of completion of the Distribution of the Offered Shares, the Corporation will advise the Underwriters, promptly after receiving notice or obtaining knowledge thereof, of:

 

 

(i)

the issuance by any Canadian Securities Commission or the SEC of any order suspending or preventing the use of any of the Offering Documents or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including without limitation the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or, to the knowledge of the Corporation, the threatening of any such order;

 

32


 

(ii)

the issuance by any Canadian Securities Commission, the SEC, the TSX or the NYSE MKT of any order having the effect of ceasing or suspending the Distribution of the Common Shares or the trading in any securities of the Corporation, or of the institution or, to the knowledge of the Corporation, threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose; or

 

 

(iii)

any requests made by any Canadian Securities Commission or the SEC for amending or supplementing any of the Offering Documents or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information;

and the Corporation will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order referred to in subparagraph (b)(i) above or subparagraph (b)(ii) above and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible time;

 

 

(c)

the Corporation will use its best efforts to obtain the conditional listing of the Offered Shares on the TSX by the Closing Time, subject only to the official notice of issuance, and the Corporation will use its best efforts to have the Offered Shares listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the NYSE MKT by the Closing Time;

 

 

(d)

as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the U.S. Securities Act), the Corporation will make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement or statements of the Corporation and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the U.S. Securities Act and Rule 158 under the U.S. Securities Act; and

 

 

(e)

the Corporation will use the net proceeds from the Offering as described in the Initial Canadian Preliminary Prospectus.

 

(2)

Prior to the completion of the Distribution of the Offered Shares, the Corporation will file all documents required to be filed with or furnished to the Canadian Securities Commissions and the SEC pursuant to Applicable Securities Laws.

 

(3)

Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Corporation will not, without the prior written consent of BMO Capital Markets (not to be unreasonably withheld) on behalf of the Underwriters, directly or indirectly issue, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, lend or dispose of directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or securities or other financial instruments convertible into or having the right to acquire Common Shares or enter into any agreement or arrangement under which the Corporation would acquire or transfer to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Shares, whether that agreement or arrangement may be settled by the delivery of Common Shares or other securities or cash, or agree to become bound to do so, or disclose to the public any intention to do so, during the period from the date hereof and ending 90 days following the Closing Date; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may (i) issue Common Shares or

 

33


securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares pursuant to any equity incentive plan, stock ownership or purchase plan, dividend reinvestment plan or other equity plan in effect on the date hereof and (ii) issue Common Shares issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of convertible or exchangeable securities or the exercise of warrants or options outstanding on the date hereof. In addition, the Corporation shall not file a prospectus under Canadian Securities Laws or a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act in connection with any transaction by the Corporation or any person that is prohibited pursuant to the foregoing, except as pursuant to the Offering and for registration statements on Form S-8 relating to employee benefit plans.

Section 12 All Terms to be Conditions

The Corporation agrees that the conditions contained in this Agreement will be complied with insofar as the same relate to acts to be performed or caused to be performed by the Corporation. Any breach or failure to comply with any of the conditions set out in this Agreement shall entitle the Underwriters to terminate their obligation to purchase the Offered Shares, by written notice to that effect given to the Corporation at or prior to the Time of Closing or the Option Closing Time, as applicable. It is understood that the Underwriters may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to the rights of the Underwriters in respect of any such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters any such waiver or extension must be in writing and signed by the Underwriters.

Section 13 Termination by Underwriters

 

(1)

Each Underwriter shall also be entitled to terminate its obligation to purchase the Offered Shares by written notice to that effect to the Corporation at or prior to the Closing Time or the Option Closing Time, as applicable, if:

 

 

(a)

there should occur any material change (actual, anticipated, contemplated or threatened, financial or otherwise) in the business, affairs, operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), capital or control of the Corporation or a change in any material fact (other than a material fact related solely to any of the Underwriters as provided by the Underwriters in connection with and solely for the purposes of inclusion in the Offering Documents), or the Underwriters become aware of any undisclosed material information (other than information related solely to any of the Underwriters as provided by the Underwriters in connection with and solely for the purposes of inclusion in the Offering Documents), which in the opinion of an Underwriter, acting reasonably, could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the Offered Shares;

 

 

(b)

there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence, or be announced, any event, action, state, condition or major financial occurrence, catastrophe, accident, natural disaster, public protest, war or act of terrorism of national or international consequence or any new law or regulation or a change thereof or other occurrence of any nature whatsoever which, in the opinion of an Underwriter, acting

 

34


reasonably, seriously adversely effects, or involves, or is expected to seriously adversely effect, or involve, financial markets in Canada or the United States generally or the business, operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), capital or control of the Corporation;

 

 

(c)

there should occur or commence or be announced or threatened any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether formal or informal) or any order or ruling is issued under or pursuant to any statute of Canada or the United States or of any province or territory of Canada, or state of the United States (including, without limitation, the Commission, the securities regulatory authority in each of the other Qualifying Jurisdictions, the TSX, NYSE MKT or the SEC) (other than any such inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding or order relating solely to any of the Underwriters), which in the reasonable opinion of an Underwriter would be expected to operate to prevent or materially restrict trading in or distribution of the Offered Shares or would have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the Offered Shares; or

 

 

(d)

the Corporation is in breach of any term, condition or covenant of this Agreement or any representation or warranty given by the Corporation in this Agreement becomes false in any material respect.

 

(2)

If this Agreement is terminated by any of the Underwriters pursuant to Section 13(1), there shall be no further liability on the part of such Underwriter or of the Corporation to such Underwriter, except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Section 9, Section 10 and Section 17.

 

(3)

The right of the Underwriters or any of them to terminate their respective obligations under this Agreement is in addition to such other remedies as they may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act of the Corporation in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement. A notice of termination given by one Underwriter under this Section 13 shall not be binding upon the other Underwriters.

Section 14 Closing

The closing of the purchase and sale of the Firm Shares herein provided for shall be completed at 8:00 a.m. (E.S.T.) on July 16, 2014, or such other date and/or time as may be agreed upon in writing by the Corporation and the Underwriters, but in any event not later than 42 days following the date of a final receipt for the Canadian Final Prospectus (respectively, the “Closing Time” and the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP. In the event that the Closing Time has not occurred on or before the date which is 42 days following the date of a final receipt for the Canadian Final Prospectus, this Agreement shall, subject to Section 13(2) hereof, terminate.

(1)

The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised by the Underwriters at any time, in whole or in part by delivering notice to the Corporation not later than 5:00 p.m. on the 30th day after the Closing Date, which notice will specify the number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date (the “Option Closing Date”) and time (the “Option Closing Time”) on and at which such Additional Shares are to be purchased. Such Option Closing Date may be the same as (but not earlier than) the Closing Date and will not be earlier than three Business Days nor later than five Business Days after the date of delivery of such notice (except to the extent a shorter or longer period shall be agreed to by the Corporation). Subject to the terms of this agreement, upon the Underwriters furnishing this notice, the Underwriters will be committed to purchase, in the respective percentages set forth in Section 22, and the Corporation will be committed to issue and sell in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the number of Additional Shares indicated in the notice. Additional Shares may be purchased by the Underwriters only for the purpose of satisfying over-allotments made in connection with the Offering.

 

(2)

In the event that the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in accordance with its terms, the closing of the issuance and sale of that number of Additional Shares in respect of which the Underwriters are exercising the Over-Allotment Option shall take place at the Option Closing Time at the offices of Stikeman Elliot LLP or at such other place as may be agreed to by the Underwriters and the Corporation.

(4)

Concurrently with the deliveries and payment under paragraph (3), the Corporation shall pay the Underwriting Fee applicable to the Additional Shares in the manner provided in the eighth paragraph of this letter against delivery of a receipt for that payment.

 

(5)

The obligation of the Underwriters to make any payment or delivery contemplated by this Section 16 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 15.

Section 20 Actions on Behalf of the Underwriters

All steps which must or may be taken by the Underwriters in connection with this Underwriting Agreement, with the exception of the matters contemplated by Section 9, Section 12 and Section 13, shall be taken by the Lead Underwriters on the Underwriters’ behalf and the execution of the Agreement by the Underwriters shall constitute the Corporation’s authority for accepting notification of any such steps from, and for giving notice to, and for delivering any definitive certificate(s) representing the Offered Shares to, or to the order of, the Lead Underwriters.

Section 21 Survival

The representations, warranties, obligations and agreements of the Corporation and of the Underwriters contained herein or delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the purchase by the Underwriters of the Offered Shares and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any subsequent disposition by the Underwriters of the Offered Shares and the Underwriters shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of the Corporation contained in or delivered pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any investigation which the Underwriters may undertake or which may be undertaken on the Underwriters’ behalf.

 

42


Section 22 Underwriters’ Obligations

 

(1)

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Underwriters’ obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Offered Shares shall be several and not joint and several and the liability of each of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Shares shall be limited to the following percentages of the purchase price paid for the Offered Shares:

 

BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc.

     29.0

Raymond James Ltd.

     29.0

Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd.

     14.5

Scotia Capital Inc.

     10.0

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC

     5.0

     5.0

TD Securities Inc.

     5.0

PI Financial Corp.

     2.5
  

 

 

 
     100.0
  

 

 

 

 

(2)

If any of the Underwriters fails to purchase its applicable percentage of the Offered Shares at the Closing Time or the Option Closing Time, as the case may be, (a “Defaulting Underwriter”) and the percentage of Offered Shares that have not been purchased by the Defaulting Underwriter represents 10% or less of the Offered Shares then the other Underwriters will be severally, and not jointly and severally, obligated to purchase, on a pro rata basis to their respective percentages as aforesaid, all but not less than all of the Offered Shares not purchased by the Defaulting Underwriter, and to receive the Defaulting Underwriter’s portion of the Underwriting Fee in respect thereof, and such non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right, by notice to the Corporation, to postpone the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, by not more than three Business Days to effect such purchase. In the event that the percentage of Offered Shares that have not been purchased by a Defaulting Underwriter represents more than 10% of the aggregate Offered Shares, the other Underwriters will have the right, but will not be obligated, to purchase all of the percentage of the Offered Shares which would otherwise have been purchased by the Defaulting Underwriter; the Underwriters exercising such right will purchase such Offered Shares, if applicable, pro rata to their respective percentages aforesaid or in such other proportions as they may otherwise agree. In the event that such right is not exercised, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be relieved of all obligations to the Corporation arising from such default. Nothing in this section shall oblige the Corporation to sell to the Underwriters less than all of the Offered Shares or relieve from liability to the Company any Underwriter which shall be so in default.

Section 23 Market Stabilization

In connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares, the Underwriters (or any of them) may effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail in the open market, but in each case as permitted by Applicable Securities Laws. Such stabilizing transactions, if any, may be discontinued by the Underwriters at any time.

 

43


Section 24 Entire Agreement

Any and all previous agreements with respect to the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares, whether written or oral, are terminated and this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Corporation and the Underwriters with respect to the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares.

Section 25 Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws in force in the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Section 26 Relationship with the TMX Group Limited

Certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates may own or control an equity interest in TMX Group Limited (“TMX Group”) and may have a nominee director serving on the TMX Group’s board of directors. As such, such investment dealer may be considered to have an economic interest in the listing of securities on any exchange owned or operated by TMX Group, including the TSX, the TSX Venture Exchange and the Alpha Exchange. No person or company is required to obtain products or services from TMX Group or its affiliates as a condition of any such dealer supplying or continuing to supply a product or service.

Section 27 Time of the Essence

Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

MATTERS TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE CORPORATION’S

U.S. COUNSEL OPINION

1. The statements in the U.S. Final Prospectus under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” to the extent that they constitute summaries of United States federal law or regulation or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by such counsel and fairly summarize the matters described under that heading in all material respects.

2. The Registration Statement and the U.S. Final Prospectus, as of their respective effective or issue times, appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act, except for the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from either of them, as to which such counsel need not express an opinion; and the Form F-X, as of its date, appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act.

3. The issuance and sale of the Shares by the Corporation, the execution and delivery by the Corporation of the Agreement and the performance by the Corporation of its obligations thereunder will not violate those laws, rules and regulations of the United States of America and the State of New York, in each case which in such counsel’s experience are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Agreement (“Applicable Law”). For purposes of such counsel’s opinion, the term “Applicable Law” will not include federal securities laws (except for the purposes of the opinion expressed in paragraph 4 below) or state securities laws, anti-fraud laws, or any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Corporation, the Shares, the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to the Agreement or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.

4. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, which has not been obtained, taken or made, is required by the Corporation under any Applicable Law for the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Corporation, the execution and delivery by the Corporation of the Agreement and the performance by the Corporation of its obligations thereunder. For purposes of such counsel’s opinion, the term “Governmental Authority” means any executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America.

5. The Corporation is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and the application of their proceeds as described in the U.S. Final Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds,” will not be required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.
