International Tower Hill Mines Comments on Recent Gold Market Activity
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 24, 2013) - International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. ("ITH" or the "Company") - (TSX:ITH)(NYSE MKT:THM)(FRANKFURT:IW9) wishes to comment on the recent activity in the gold market.
Despite the recent turmoil in the gold market, ITH will continue to strive to bring value to its shareholders by optimizing its world class Livengood Gold Project, which currently has estimated measured and indicated resources of 933 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.55 g/t gold (16.5 million contained ounces) at a 0.22 g/t gold cut-off (see NR11-13, August 23, 2011).
The Company completed drilling for condemnation, geo-hydrological and geotechnical support of the Feasibility Study (FS) for Livengood in 2012. The Company has prepared for the potential of a continuing lower gold price and has developed an alternate work program under which ITH will continue to fund its corporate activities, compliance matters and essential environmental baseline activities to support the permitting process with the capital currently on hand. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate raising additional capital in the near term and will continue to seek strategic alliances to fund the future development of this project upon the completion of the FS currently underway.
Don Ewigleben, President and CEO, stated, "We recognize that we are entrusted by our shareholders to protect the asset value of the Livengood Gold Project and will continue the development process while limiting the expenditures. ITH has structured its budget and corporate initiatives to bring the highest value to its shareholders and we believe it still remains an attractive long-term investment. The Livengood Project hosts a very large gold resource in a favorable mining jurisdiction. Our current strategies remain the same with completing further development of the project while attracting a strategic alliance partner. Despite the recent drop in gold price, the value of the long life Livengood asset will be judged by factors in addition to today's gold price, including the existing infrastructure, favorable geo-political setting and highly qualified development team."

Low gold price hurts ITH's Livengood project
2013-07-24
It doesn’t look like International Tower Hill’s (TSX: ITH; NYSE: THM) Livengood project will be meeting the construction crew anytime soon.
The company released a feasibility study that shows a future mine would only reach a positive net present value (NPV) if gold climbs back above the US$1,600 per oz. mark.
Until then, investors will have to hope that the company can find a strategic partner that believes in the notion that large scale, low grade deposits will once again come back into favor.
The single most damaging metric to the NPV was rising capex. The company’s preliminary economic assessment (PEA), which was largely done in 2010 and reported in 2011 pegged capex at US$1.6 billion.
The new feasibility study, however, estimates it would cost US$2.7 billion just to build the project. Sustaining capex would add another US$667 million to the tab and reclamation and closure costs are estimated to be another US$353 million.
Two of the main reasons for the jump in initial capex was the realization that a tailing facility would need to be lined and that a camp would have to be built. The original PEA did not outline either of those two relatively sizable costs.
With capex rising and the price of gold falling the poor metrics of the study aren’t surprising, but just how bad things look at current gold prices do come as a bit of a shock.
On July 24th the price of gold was sitting at US$1,319.90 per oz. That is awfully close to the US$1,300 per oz. price that the study says would generate a NPV of negative US$1.336 billion and an internal rate of return of -7.2%. The NPV was calculated using a discount rate of 5%.
Even at a gold price of US$1,600 per oz. the NPV remains underwater at negative US$50 million while the IRR rises to a paltry 4.6%. It isn’t until a gold price of US$1,700 per oz. is used that both NPV and IRR are positive with the NPV rising to US$336 million and the IRR coming in at 7.3%.
With numbers like that, Tower Hill’s CEO and president Donald Ewigleben could do little else but concede that the project is not economic in the current environment. Instead he emphasized the project’s proximity to good infrastructure, its location in a mining friendly region and the scale of the project would be the keys to attracting a strategic partner and one day getting the mine into production.
In the near term, Ewigleben said the company will look to protect its $19.9 million treasury as it looks at ways to drive down the costs of a future mine.
When a questioner on a conference call related to the release asked why the company would not simply sit on the report until it did find a way to drive costs down, Ewigleben said the company felt it owed it to investors to be as transparent as possible.
“We all know in this industry that for years several companies have underestimated the cost of projects,” he said. “We made sure, to the best of our ability, that we have defined every potential cost and used those conservative numbers to avoid that trap.”
As for possible ways that costs could be cut, the most obvious place to start would be scale. The current feasibility study considered a mine that would process 100,000 tonnes of ore per day with gold recoveries of over 80%. Through the first five years the annual production would be 700,000 oz. of gold.
Tower Hill decided to outline such a big project in order to generate economies of scale that could make up for the relatively low grade of the deposit. It will likely now consider a more modest facility.
Livengood has measured resources of 731 million tonne grading 0.61 grams gold for 14.4 million oz; 71 million indicated tonnes grading 0.56 grams gold for 1.3 million oz. and 266 million inferred tonnes grading 0.52 grams for 4.4 million oz.
And while the headgrade at the mill is estimated to average 1.08 grams per tonne in the first year, the number falls to a staggeringly low 0.39 grams per tonne in years 13 and 14.
Livengood, which was acquired from AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) in 2006, sits 125-km northwest of Fairbanks in Alaska.
Shortly after the acquisition the company began an aggressive drill campaign that had investors believing in a large scale, world class deposit. Those early results turned Tower Hill into a market darling as its stock went from trading in the $1.25 range at the end of 2008 all the way up to $9.98 by the end of 2010. By early 2011, after its PEA was released, the decline had begun. A decline that has now culminated with the release of the feasibility study as the stock dropped 54% or 50¢ in Toronto on July 24th, finishing the day at just 42.5¢ on 2.42 million shares traded.

Livengood
Another significant gold project in development is the Livengood gold project on the Elliot Highway 70 miles north of Fairbanks. It is in an advanced stage of planning and yet not yet finalized its mine plan, or filed for development permits.
International Tower Hills Mines, the owner, said that its preliminary feasibility study indicates the mine may not be economic, at least at current gold prices of about $1,340 per ounce. A break-even gold price of about $1,500 per ounce is need, the study said.
Project manager Tom Irwin said high energy costs, environmental protection measures and the need to build a worker housing complex at the mine contributed to problems. The capital cost was estimated at $2.79 billion in the study.
The company will continue work on permitting and engineering, Irwin said. International Tower Hills has spent about $250 million to date in exploration, environmental work and pre-development planning.
The latest resource estimate for the project, published in an August 2011 preliminary economic assessment, is 16.5 million ounces in measured and indicated resources with an additional 4.1 million ounces in inferred resources.
In March, ITH said that it has completed a mine design and production schedule and alternatives, with equipment specifications and bids from suppliers.
The mill process design has also been completed and would be similar to that used at the Fort Knox mine, an operating mine northeast of Fairbanks on the Steese Highway.
An important aspect of the Livengood project is that it is located on an all-weather paved highway, which makes the area very accessible. However, infrastructure for power would have to be built. The company’s current plan is to purchase power from Golden Valley Electric Association, the regional utility. Power transmission lines would have to be built to the mine from the Fairbanks area.

Kinross mit noch geringeren Grades als ITH betreibt 55 KM nördlich eine Mine, die
nach dem gleichen Prinzip der Goldverwertung wie ITH arbeitet! Es ist vorstellbar
ein Förderband zur Mine zu führen paralell zur Öl Leitung, oder wenn Kinross erschöpft ist das Equipment dort aufzubauen!
