On the 29th of June, 2016, Heddle Marine Service Inc. (Heddle) reached an agreement to acquire the Thunder Bay Shipyard from Hagoth Inc.

After purchasing the Thunder Bay Shipyard, Rick Heddle, President of Heddle Marine, set into motion the formation of a local Thunder Bay start-up company that will be known as Current River Holdings Inc.

Current River Holdings Inc., in collaboration with local partner Fabmar Metals Inc. (Fabmar), will operate the Thunder Bay Shipyard once it becomes operational sometime in the spring of 2017.

A major factor in Heddle’s final investment decision was the proactive support of the Thunder Bay Community Economic Development Commission as well as the Thunder Bay Port Authority.

Mining Readiness Strategy (MRS)

Supply Chain

CEDC worked successfully with New Gold Inc’s Business Development Manager to assist Thunder Bay companies to prequalify and bid on mine/mill construction of New Gold – Rainy River Mine project, located at EMO.

*Approximately 35 Thunder Bay companies have secured contracts with New Gold Inc. on the construction of the Rainy River Project, totalling over $80 million. EKT90, a Thunder Bay mechanical firm have secured the largest contract, and is building the mill circuit, scheduled for production in November 2017. EKT90 has 135-150 Thunder Bay union trades personnel on site (10-12 months)

CEDC worked directly with Ledcor Construction to identify 48 temporary heavy equipment operators (6 months) to rebuild North American Palladium’s Lac des Iles mine tailings pond containment areas.

The biggest success has been the attraction of two films to Thunder Bay with a value of $2.3million in production - Angelique’s Isle and Poor Agnes.

We also have the potential for two more films to come in 2017 and 2018. One will be $1.5 million and the other is a pilot for a TV series with an estimated $300,000 pilot project. The potential if the pilot is picked up is for 12 episodes.

Thunder Bay Training and Educational Community

CEDC hosted a café-style workshop entitled “Economic Trends and Career Paths” on November 10, 2016, for city high school teachers, co-op teachers and guidance counsellors.

The Local Employment Planning Council delivered a presentation illustrating key employment needs in the community and region in coming years.

Café style ensued, with 21 businesses delivering repeated 15 minute presentations, describing career opportunities with their organization, within the confines of their respective trade show booth.

Therefore several simultaneous talks were underway at any time; teachers therefore had the opportunity to partake in 8 interactive presentations, of their choosing!

CEDC spoke to future trades students in Thunder Bay about mining opportunities at the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Conference, “Pathways to a Career in Skilled Trades”, November 9.

Training and Educational Community Priorities 1 and 3 1) We need to generate skills locally to retain and expand this community. 3) Understand and support the growth of ‘shops’ in our education system. CEDC will assist through our partners in helping to increase this section of our education system to increase the Thunder Bay Labour force, trade availability and supply.

Prospectors and Developers Convention and MINExpo

Thunder Bay successfully constructed and hosted a trade show exhibit at the Prospectors and Developers Convention in Toronto in March 2016 and 2017.

CEDC partnered with Lakehead University and Confederation College. The “Thunder Bay Booth” was designed to promote Thunder Bay as a mining service hub, a mining research, education and training hub and it allowed CEDC to meet walk up leads and contacts.

CEDC and ONEDC partnered at MINExpo, in Nevada in September 2016 with a large display featuring Northern Ontario supply and services capability. Results include mine service and supply companies from locations outside of the region investigating partnership or business establishment in Thunder Bay.



Mining Readiness Strategy - Electrical Infrastructure

On November 2,2016, Greenstone Gold released a Feasibility Study for the Hardrock Gold Deposit, Geraldton.

Open-pit LOM(Life of Mine) gold production of 4.2 million ounces and 14.5 years of operations;

Average LOM annual gold production of 288,000 ounces;

Initial capital cost of $1.25 Billion (US$962 million);

Electrical transmission deficiencies into the region (and the project) remains a huge constraint to development (CEDC and the Energy Task Force have been working to explore solutions with Ontario).

Ontario Exploration Expenditures (CDN $Millions)

Investment capital in early 2017 has become more available for the exploration industry

Exploration investment in Ontario, Canada, and the world had decreased over the past few years (2012-2016)

Goldcorp Inc - Musselwhite Mine established the Thunder Bay mine office (977 Alloy Drive) in March 2017. Staffing will initially include 15-20 personnel, scaling up in three phases to 40+. The Mine is undertaking a $90 million underground development project designed to speed the movement of gold ore to surface. The goal is reach 300,000 ounces of annual gold production. All new hires will be Thunder Bay based personnel (currently 215 Thunder Bay housed personnel work at the mine).

Barrick Gold-Hemlo have invested significantly in exploration in the last 2 years, resulting in a key discovery northwest of the Williams Mine headframe and a forecast mine life increase from 4 to 9 years.

North American Palladium have invested in mineral exploration, increasing reserves at Lac des Iles Mine. The palladium price has risen from sub $600 per ounce to the $800 range during 2016 into 2017.

Thunder Bay CEDC is connected to all 3 mines at the mine manager, service and supply, and workforce/human resources levels.
