NZC-TSX
NORZF-OTCQB
RCF to purchase 1% royalty on Prairie Creek Mine for C$8 million, subject to shareholder approval

in the interim
VANCOUVER, Sept. 30, 2019 /CNW/ -
NorZinc Ltd. (TSX: NZC; OTCQB: NORZF) (the "Company" or "NorZinc")
is pleased to announce that RCF VI CAD LLC ("RCF"), an affiliate of
Resource Capital Fund VI L.P., has agreed to purchase a
1% net smelter return royalty (the "Royalty") over the Company's
Prairie Creek zinc-lead-silver mine in the Northwest Territories
(the "Mine") for C$8 million.
The issuance of the Royalty will be subject to shareholder approval
as required by the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX").
It is anticipated that this new non-equity-dilutive royalty will
provide funding through the completion of permitting of the Mine.

NorZinc Announces New Financing (CNW Group/NorZinc Ltd.)
Don MacDonald, President & CEO of NorZinc Ltd. stated,
"The Royalty financing shows continuing support by our largest
shareholder for the Mine, the Company, and its management and it will
allow us to continue development of the Mine at full pace.
Upon receipt of the All Season Road permit, the Company intends to
complete the next stage of financing, allowing the Company to keep to
the development schedule outlined in August 2018."
Mr. MacDonald also said "Although the Mine will primarily produce
zinc and lead, it is anticipated to produce
significant silver as a by-product.
The heightened interest in silver producing assets in recent months
has greatly enhanced the importance of silver to
the Mine's revenue and financing opportunities".
RCF Royalty Financing and Interim Short Term Loan
(a) C$8 Million Royalty
The Company has agreed to sell a 1.0% Royalty on products from the Mine for C$8 million to RCF. Sandstorm Gold Ltd. ("Sandstorm") holds a right of first refusal ("Sandstorm ROFR") on the Royalty sale. If the Sandstorm ROFR is not exercised, the TSX will require that the Company hold a Special Shareholders Meeting to obtain disinterested shareholder approval for the sale of the Royalty to RCF. The Royalty calculation is essentially the same as used for the existing 1.2% royalty previously sold to Sandstorm in 2013 for US$10 million (at the time C$10.25 million).
(b) US$6 Million Short Term Loan
RCF has agreed to loan the Company (the "Loan") up to US$6 million (currently C$7.96 million) repayable on the earlier of (a) 120 days from first advance under the Loan and (b) the date on which either the Royalty is funded by RCF or by Sandstorm. The Loan bears an interest rate of 8% per annum payable on maturity. The Loan is secured over all of the assets comprising the Mine. The Loan agreement contains certain post-closing business commitments made by NorZinc to be completed over the remainder of 2019, including specific financing and construction preparations for the commencement of construction of the initial winter road (Phase 1 of the All Season Road) access to the Mine. The Loan proceeds are to be used for development of the Mine in accordance with an agreed budget.
Shareholder Approval and Royalty Closing
As RCF holds more than 10% of the Company's outstanding shares, the TSX requires the Company to obtain approval of the sale of the Royalty to RCF by a majority of the voting securities of the Company, on a disinterested basis. The Company is preparing a Management Information Circular for a Special Shareholder meeting to approve the sale of the Royalty. Subject to shareholder approval, NorZinc expects the Royalty transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Zinc and nickel price upside ‘imminent': Clarus
Peter Koven | January 20, 2015 | Last Updated: Jan 20 3:08 PM ET
http://business.financialpost.com/2015/01/20/zinc-and-nickel-upside-imminent-clarus/?__lsa=707e-3f56#__federated=1
There has been a lot of bullish talk in the metals community about zinc and nickel over the past couple of years, as many insiders believe those commodities are poised for a rally. You can include Clarus Securities analyst Mike Bandrowski in that group.
He published a detailed note on Tuesday that suggests zinc and nickel have “imminent” upside and will perform very strongly over the next two years as inventories disappear.
In the case of zinc, Mr. Bandrowski noted the market is already in deficit, and that deficit should get bigger following the closures of the Lisheen and Century mines this year. He said exchange inventories have fallen by more than half over the last two years and should be at “critical” levels later in 2015.
“We believe the lack of funding in zinc mine development and exploration has now caught up with the marketplace and zinc prices will respond in 2015,” he said in a note.
“Despite the broad commodity sell-off, zinc has held up quite well, likely an indication of the favourable supply/demand fundamentals.”
Nickel has received more attention than zinc due to an Indonesian export ban on raw ore that was imposed a year ago, which removed about 25% to 30% of global nickel supply. The nickel price spiked following the ban, but fell back to earth as inventories dramatically increased.
Mr. Bandrowski’s said the inventory spike was partly due to a well-publicized trading scandal in Qingdao, which created disruptions in Chinese nickel stockpiles. He expects inventories to trend lower in early 2015 as Indonesian stockpiles are exhausted in China, and thinks the market is heading toward deficit this year.
“We see a great opportunity for nickel in 2015,” he added.
Mr. Bandrowski sees the zinc price rising to US$1.10 a pound this year and US$1.25 in 2016, while nickel is expected to jump to US$11 a pound in 2015 and US$12 in 2016. His top picks among the miners in this space include Lundin Mining Corp., Scorpio Mining Corp, Aldridge Minerals Inc. and Royal Nickel Corp. He also highlighted a few names that he doesn’t cover: Talon Metals Corp., Sherritt International Corp., Tinka Resources Ltd. and Goldspike Exploration Inc.

2014 Winter Drill Program Commences at South Tally Pond, Newfoundland
- Drill testing of the newly discovered Northwest zone
http://web.tmxmoney.com/article.php?newsid=65376699&qm_symbol=CZN
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 29, 2014) - Canadian Zinc Corporation (TSX:CZN)(OTCQB:CZICF) ("the Company" or "Canadian Zinc") is pleased to announce the commencement of a winter diamond drill program at the Company's wholly-owned South Tally Pond zinc-lead-copper-silver-gold project in central Newfoundland. The planned drill program will consist of eight to ten drillholes, totaling 3,000 metres.
The 2014 winter drill program will follow up on favourable results from the 2013 drill programs, which totaled 8,300 metres in 26 drillholes at the Lemarchant deposit. Highlights of the 2013 drilling programs include the discovery of Northwest zone located 250 metres to the northwest of the Lemarchant deposit and further extensions to the Lemarchant deposit (see Company news release dated December 11, 2013 and April 17, 2013).
Priority drill targets for 2014 include testing for additional massive sulphide mineralization to expand the newly discovered Northwest zone and expanding the known Indicated and Inferred resources of the Lemarchant deposit. The 2014 program is fully supported by funds from the $4 million flow-through financing, which closed on August 20th, 2013.
South Tally Pond Project
The South Tally Pond Project, which includes the Lemarchant deposit, is located in a proven mining district in central Newfoundland. The project is located immediately southwest of Teck Resources Limited's Duck Pond Cu-Zn Mine and south of the world-class, historic Buchans deposits. The Lemarchant deposit is a significant precious metal-rich, copper-lead-zinc volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") discovery with the potential to develop into a viable economic resource.
A National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 mineral resource estimate on the Lemarchant deposit completed in 2012 includes an indicated resource of 1.24 million tonnes at an average grade of 5.38% Zn, 1.19% Pb, 0.58% Cu, 59.17 g/t Ag and 1.01 g/t Au; and an inferred resource of 1.34 million tonnes at an average grade of 3.70% Zn, 0.86% Pb, 0.41% Cu, 50.41 g/t Ag and 1.00 g/t Au.
Canadian Zinc also owns an extensive land package, in excess of 500 square kilometres in central Newfoundland, which includes three polymetallic (copper-lead-zinc-silver-gold) deposits with NI 43-101 compliant resources, numerous exploration targets and a detailed exploration database spanning several decades of previous work. The South Tally Pond project hosts the Lemarchant deposit and Northwest zone; the Tulks South project hosts the Boomerang-Domino deposits and Hurricane zone; and the Long Lake project which host the Main Zone deposit. Exploration programs are now being planned for key central Newfoundland properties during 2014.
