TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2019 /CNW/ - Aquila Resources Inc. (TSX: AQA, OTCQB: AQARF) ("Aquila" or the "Company") announced that the environmental review panel ("Panel") for the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy ("EGLE") has upheld the Final Decision and Order previously made by an Administrative Law Judge ("Judge") in support of the Michigan Nonferrous Metallic Mineral Mining Permit ("Mining Permit") for its Back Forty Project in Michigan. By way of background, following the Judge's ruling in May 2019, the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin appealed the decision to the Panel, which is made up of technical experts from various fields. The Panel's decision marks the final step in the contested case challenge to the Mining Permit that began in April 2018 and represents EGLE's final decision.

In its unanimous decision, the three-person Panel adopted the Judge's May 3, 2019 decision, which found "that the proposed mining operation will not pollute, impair, or destroy the air, water and other natural resources, or the public trust in those resources," in compliance with Michigan's Nonferrous Metallic Mining Statute.

Barry Hildred, President & CEO of Aquila, commented, "We are pleased that the Panel ruled in our favor and adopted the Judge's comprehensive decision that followed an exhaustive review process and lengthy contested case hearing. Michigan's environmental standards for mining are among the strictest in the world, and we look forward to continuing to demonstrate our commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable resource development that benefits all stakeholders. The Back Forty Mine will be a safe, disciplined operation that promotes and supports local community socio-economic development and is protective of the environment."

The Company is awaiting issuance by EGLE of its amended Mining Permit and Air Permit. Testimony related to the Wetlands Permit contested case was completed on October 25, 2019.

TORONTO, Nov. 8, 2019 /CNW/ - Aquila Resources Inc. (TSX: AQA, OTCQB: AQARF) ("Aquila" or the "Company") announced the filing of its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. All amounts, unless indicated, are reported in US dollars.

Barry Hildred, President & CEO of Aquila, commented, "During the quarter, we continued to focus on advancing certain permit amendments for Back Forty while completing site-specific work to satisfy conditions in compliance with existing permits. As we move into 2020, our focus is to clear remaining legal hurdles and to get Back Forty shovel-ready. In order to fund these activities, we continue to evaluate interim and long-term funding options, including certain strategic opportunities with a variety of partners."

THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

The Company is progressing certain Back Forty Project pre-construction activities including environmental fieldwork and site data collection. The Company also completed a geotechnical site investigation program including 1,200 meters of geotechnical drilling and hydrogeological testing in preparation for additional engineering activities.
The Company is continuing with its evaluation of underground mining following an open pit operation at Back Forty as outlined in the August 2018 Feasibility Study. The Company is also assessing various alternatives for downsizing the processing plant that better aligns open pit plant and potential future underground throughputs. This analysis will form the basis of an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment, the results of which Aquila expects to announce in the coming months.
The Company advanced the legal process related to the contested case challenge to its Mining Permit for its Back Forty Project in Michigan. In the second quarter, the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules issued a Final Decision and Order upholding the Michigan Nonferrous Metallic Mineral Mining Permit for its Back Forty Project in Michigan. Following 30 days of cumulative testimony, the administrative law judge issued a final decision finding "that the proposed mining operation will not pollute, impair, or destroy the air, water and other natural resources, or the public trust in those resources," in compliance with Michigan's Nonferrous Metallic Mining Statute. On May 28, 2019, the Petitioners filed a request for review by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy ("EGLE") internal review board. Hearings and briefings were held during the months of August, September and October. The Company does not expect the review board to reach a different conclusion than the Judge.
The Company continued to work with EGLE regarding the Company's application to amend its Mining Permit and Air Permit. Aquila expects the amended permits to be issued in the coming months.
The Company advanced the legal process related to the contested case challenge to its Wetlands Permit. Rebuttal testimony was completed on October 25, 2019. The Company expects briefings and a final decision to follow mid-2020.
The Company is in active discussions with existing partners, advisors and outside investors to secure both long-term project funding, and to secure interim financing to complete pre-construction activities. As part of its funding solution, the Company is reviewing certain strategic transactions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to execute and close on any funding solution.
As at September 30, 2019, Aquila had cash of $6.3 million and working capital of $3.9 million. This compared to cash of $14.4 million and working capital of $12.1 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to the funding of the Company's pre-construction activities.

POST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

On October 21, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin dismissed the lawsuit filed by Coalition to SAVE the Menominee River, Inc. (the "Coalition"). In November of 2018, the Coalition filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin challenging the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' failure to exercise jurisdiction over Aquila's Wetlands Permit for its Back Forty Project. The Court dismissed the lawsuit, holding that the Coalition could not challenge the federal government's refusal to exercise jurisdiction over the Wetlands Permit under the Administrative Procedures Act or the Clean Water Act.
The Company continues to work with EGLE to secure issue of amendments to its Mining Permit and its Air Permit that reflect project optimizations, as well as a new Dam Safety Permit. The Company anticipates EGLE will approve the Mine and Air Permit amendments in the coming months. EGLE has informed the Company of EGLE's intention to defer review and processing of the Dam Safety Permit until 2020, in order to incorporate hydrogeological information currently being gathered under the Wetlands Permit into the Dam Safety Permit review. EGLE has encouraged the Company to withdraw its Dam Safety Permit application and resubmit the application in order to facilitate EGLE's preferred approach. At this point, the Company does not see this development as impacting preconstruction activities or the start date of construction.

OUTLOOK

Pre-construction activities including engineering and construction readiness will continue to advance at Back Forty.
Operational readiness activities including advancing plans with respect to roads, power, and concentrate logistics are underway.
In addition to recently filled positions, the Company will continue to add resources to its owners' team to prepare for the construction and operational readiness phases at Back Forty.
The Company will continue discussions with prospective financial partners to secure the required capital to construct the Back Forty Project. Aquila, with the assistance from its advisors, will consider all strategic and financial options available to the Company and the Project.
The Company is also evaluating its strategy and funding alternatives with respect to its exploration projects in Wisconsin in light of the recent repeal of the decades-old moratorium on non-ferrous mining in the state.

TORONTO, June 28, 2019 /CNW/ - Aquila Resources Inc. (TSX: AQA, OTCQB: AQARF) ("Aquila" or the "Company") announces that its two largest shareholders, Orion Mine Finance (and its affiliated funds) ("Orion") and Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. ("Osisko") have completed a transaction whereby Orion purchased from Osisko all 49,651,857 common shares of the Company owned by Osisko (the "Transaction"). The Transaction is a small component of the share repurchase and secondary offering transaction first announced by Osisko on June 25, 2019. Orion now owns 97,030,609 common shares of Aquila representing approximately 28.7% of the outstanding common shares.

Osisko remains a significant financial partner to Aquila as the holder of gold and silver streams on the Company's Back Forty Project in Michigan as well as 12,293,269 common share purchase warrants that are exercisable until May 10, 2020 at a price of C$0.34. Under its gold streaming agreement with the Company, Osisko remains committed to funding an additional US$40 million in staged payments to continue the development of the Back Forty Project.

Sean Roosen, Chair and CEO of Osisko, stated, "We have been and continue to be strong supporters of the Back Forty Project and the Aquila board and management team. The Back Forty Project will be a significant contributor to Osisko's near-term growth, and therefore we remain committed to making Back Forty an investment priority for Osisko for many years to come."

Tribe intends to sue over mine project.

The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin has put the federal government on alert in regards to Aquila’s Back Forty Mine project: It intends to sue.

Janette Brimmer, the attorney with Earthjustice who is representing the tribe on violations under the Clean Water Act, said a 60-day notice is required with a citizen suit. The Notice of Intent to Sue was filed on Monday with the U.S Environmental Protection Agency and U.S Army Corps of Engineers.

Earthjustice is a nonprofit environmental law organization with attorneys representing cases throughout the country; they represented the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

There are certain treaty and trust protections that are made available to the tribe through federal law, said tribal chairman Gary Besaw. Those protections aren’t being met while the proposed mine application goes through the State of Michigan.

“If this stays as delegated to the state action, then none of these treaty and trust responsibilities and protections are afforded to us,” Besaw said.

More lawsuits, but, the mine is coming.

Oh yes, I have no concerns, on if it will be done. Having been to the site, I know it's for real. I have been buying for years. Financing, is my concern though. Having Hudbay, get out, in the early years,was not good. (IMO). I'm not going to pump this stock, even though, I've been in for years. The gold is there, but, what will the cost be to get it out? And by that I mean shares sold, dumped, or given away to a new investor. I really think, we may need Hudbay back. Good luck to you

TORONTO, Sept. 2, 2016 /CNW/ - Aquila Resources Inc. (TSX: AQA) ("Aquila"), a development-stage company advancing the gold- and zinc-rich Back Forty Project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, announced today that the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ("MDEQ") has provided public notice on its Proposed Decision to issue a draft Nonferrous Metallic Mineral Mining Permit ("Mining Permit") to Aquila for its Back Forty Project. In addition to the proposed Mining Permit, Aquila has also received draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") and Air Pollution Control permits.

"The MDEQ's proposed decision to approve our Mine Permit Application represents a significant milestone for our Back Forty Project," said Mr. Barry Hildred, President and CEO of Aquila Resources. "The draft Mining Permit is a significant step in allowing us to advance with the development of a mine that will bring economic benefit to the Upper Peninsula while adhering to high environmental standards. The MDEQ's proposed decision also underscores Michigan's commitment to responsible and sustainable resource development that benefits all stakeholders."

The MDEQ's draft Mining Permit as well as the NPDES Permit and Air Pollution Control Permit, will now be the subject of a public hearing to be administered by the MDEQ prior to issuance of final permits. The MDEQ is holding a 64 day consolidated public comment period, from September 1, 2016, through November 3, 2016, and a consolidated public hearing, on October 6, 2016.

The Mining Permit Application ("MPA") review process, proposed decision and permit are being completed in conformance with Part 632 of Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act which regulates nonferrous metallic mineral mining in the state of Michigan. In November 2015, Aquila filed an MPA with the MDEQ. The MDEQ held public meetings in January 2016 soliciting public comments on the application as part of their review of the MPA. In May 2016, the MDEQ issued to Aquila technical review comments on the MPA and the Company responded in June 2016.

Aquila continues to work with the MDEQ on the review of its Wetlands Permit for the Back Forty Project. The Wetlands permit is the last of four permits required to build and operate the Back Forty mine. On August 26, 2016, Aquila received correspondence from the MDEQ on its Wetlands permit application that includes comments from the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The agencies' comments are in accordance with established MDEQ administrative review procedures. Aquila is currently working on its response to the MDEQ.

Economic Impact of the Back Forty Mine:
According to a study completed by the Labovitz School of Business of the University of Minnesota Duluth, the Back Forty Mine is anticipated to generate a significant economic impact to the community, including but not limited to:

$20 million in total annual tax revenue for federal, state and local governments
$11.7 million in annual revenue for state and local governments to support local schools, hospitals, roads, etc.
Approximately $13 million in additional royalty based revenue to the State of Michigan
The creation of ~250 good paying jobs directly and indirectly associated with the mine operation

TORONTO, May 15, 2014 /CNW/ - Aquila Resources Inc. (TSX: AQA) (OTCQX: AQARF) (FKT: JM4A) ("Aquila"), a development-stage company advancing the gold- and zinc-rich Back Forty Project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, reported its first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2014. Aquila's Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and Financial Statements for the quarter are available on the Company's website and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Aquila's focus in Q1 2014 was on recommencing development at Back Forty following the acquisition of 100% Project interest and corporate re-capitalization in January 2014.

Outlook

Aquila's focus in 2014 remains on:

-- Completing a series of trade-off studies, which will determine the

optimal development path for Back Forty, and developing a NI 43-101

updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for the Project in Q2 2014;

-- Evaluating a small exploration program on previously identified near-mine

targets in Q3 2014; and,

-- Subject to market conditions and available capital, ramping-up activities

related to its permit application for Back Forty with the Michigan

Department of Environmental Quality in H2 2014.

About the Back Forty Project

The Back Forty Project is a high-grade, poly-metallic deposit located in the Penokean Volcanic Belt in the Great Lakes Region. A 2012 preliminary economic assessment, based on a 2010 resource estimate, provided encouraging project economics, including a $73.6M NPV(8%) and an internal rate of return of 18.2%. Results from the 2012 drilling program demonstrate potential for continued resource expansion at Back Forty. A 2013 updated resource estimate delineated a Measured and Indicated (M+I) resource of 15.1 million tonnes (Mt) and an Inferred Resource of 2.3Mt. The updated M+I resource estimate contains 987,236oz Au, 11.91Moz Ag, 1.02Blbs Zn, 74.3Mlbs Pb and 110.4Mlbs Cu. An additional 155,885oz Au, 1.99Moz Ag, 113.3Mlbs Zn, 17.2Mlbs Pb and 18.6Mlbs Cu are included in the Inferred category.

Wow, you've spent the last few years, saying what a crook the man is, and now you're on the bandwagon? Look out people. You actually save me some money, with you posts, and I thank you. This will be another BS pothead stock. IMO

Take care of shareholders? I was in this game, when Hollis dumped a pile of share before Christmas, a few years back. I was lucky enough to be on the market when he did. Many people lost a pile. I really wish you well, but the man has a record for all to see. The man is lining his pockets, that's it. IMO

Oh, you people are going to be so screwed. Get out now. I've been watching this for years. The man is a crook. JMO

Aquila Resources Files 2013 Year-End Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Shares Outstanding: 183,201,174

TORONTO , March 31, 2014 /CNW/ - Aquila Resources Inc. (TSX: AQA) (OTCQX: AQARF) (FKT: JM4A) ("Aquila"), a development-stage company advancing the gold and zinc-rich Back Forty Project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, reported its fourth quarter and year-end corporate and financial results for the periods ended December 31, 2013. A full copy of Aquila's Management Discussion and Analysis, and Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 are available on the Company's website and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Unless otherwise noted, all figures in this news release are reported in Canadian dollars.

"Our focus in 2013 was to regain control of the Back Forty project while re-capitalizing the company in order to fund future development. In 2014, we will look to optimize the project's potential, by completing a revised PEA to better define the significant upside potential of the deposit, and ramp-up our permitting activities," said Barry Hildred , CEO of Aquila Resources. "Today, armed with a 100% interest in Back Forty, an infusion of capital and a strengthened leadership team, we are well-positioned to re-start Back Forty's development," said Mark Burridge , Aquila's Chairman.

2013 Corporate Highlights

On November 7, 2013 , Aquila announced several proposed transactions, which were subsequently closed on January 16, 2014. The transactions consisted of:
a business combination whereby Aquila acquired all of the outstanding shares of REBgold Corporation ("REBgold") (RBG.V) in exchange for the Company's shares on a 1-for-1 basis;
an agreement with Baker Steel Capital Managers LLP, on behalf of investment funds managed or controlled by it ("Baker Steel", REBgold's largest shareholder), whereby Baker Steel invested CAD $4.5 million in the combined entity as part of a CAD $4.85 million private placement financing; and,
a binding agreement with Hudbay that resulted in Aquila acquiring its 51% interest in the Back Forty Project, effectively giving the Company 100% ownership of the Project.
In February 2013 , an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Back Forty Project was completed. The updated mineral resource expanded on and incorporated parameters derived from a 2012 PEA that utilized the 2010 mineral resource estimate. The updated resource estimate, which will provide the basis for future economic evaluations of Back Forty, delineated an:
open pit M&I resource of 9.65Mt, at 2.07 g/t Au and 2.47% Zn, an increase of 28% and,
underground M&I resource of 5.49Mt at 1.97 g/t Au and 4.1% Zn
underground Inferred resource of 2.18Mt at 2.03 g/t Au and 2.15% Zn.
On June 26, 2013 , Aquila completed a private placement for net proceeds of $579,752 by issuing 5,890,000 units consisting of a common share and a half warrant at a price per unit of CAD $0.10 ;
In 2013, Aquila suspended funding on non-core projects and focused on cost containment. The Company retained ownership of three projects in the Great Lakes Region, including: the now 100% owned flagship Back Forty Project, a development stage, high-grade, poly-metallic, VMS deposit located in the state of Michigan and, the Reef Gold Project and the Bend Copper-Gold Project; and,
In March 2013 , Aquila strengthened its management team by appointing Barry Hildred to Chief Executive Officer of the Company, an experienced capital markets executive able to guide Aquila through the next phase of development at Back Forty.

Outlook

Aquila's focus in 2014 will be on re-commencing development of the Back Forty Project. Key milestones for 2014 include:

Completing a series of trade-off studies and developing a NI 43-101 updated PEA for the Back Forty project with Tetra Tech WEI Inc. The trade-off studies will look at a number of mine-plan scenarios and will choose the optimal development path for Back Forty. The Company expects that the results of this study will be available in Q2 2014;
Commencing a small exploration program on previously identified near-mine targets in Q3 2014. A number of geophysical anomalies have been identified peripheral to the known mineralization at Back Forty, and detailed ground geophysics and diamond drilling are planned to test these high priority targets; and,
Subject to market conditions and available Capital, ramp-up activities related to its permit application for Back Forty with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in H2 2014.
To date, the Company has completed a number of the required test programs and background studies necessary to support its permit submission. Aquila continues to use the services of Foth Infrastructure and Environment, LLC based in Green Bay and is targeting a submission date in the first half of 2015.

Calgary, AB - February 3, 2014 - CanAm Coal Corp. (TSXV: COE), (OTCQX: COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to report full year 2013 coal sales of 682,000 tons. This compares to sales of 560,000 tons in the prior year, an increase of 122,000 tons or 22%. This increase is a result of the strength of our long term customer base and the addition of new contracts that the Company obtained in 2013.


Company President and CEO, Jos De Smedt commented: "We are extremely pleased at our ability to grow sales by 22 percent in a very difficult environment for coal producers around the world. We attribute our record success to three important variables, the high quality of our coal, the expansion and loyalty of our great customers, and the dedication of our entire Team. This record growth includes a Q4 that was only up 10% year over year largely due to extended plant maintenance and year-end inventory management with a few of our key customers.

As we enter 2014 we feel very confident that our pattern of record sales and double digit growth will continue into 2014 and beyond. Recent record cold temperatures in our sales market, and pending EPA changes affecting the US power sector bode well for future demand for Canam's high quality coal."

Calgary, AB - January 7, 2014 - CanAm Coal Corp. (TSXV: COE) (OTCQX: COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has renewed two customer contracts that expired on December 31, 2013. Both contracts are with industrial users and total contracted volume for 2014 is 96,000 to 120,000 tons at pricing which is either the same or slightly up from 2013. One of the customers increased its volume commitment for 2014 by 50%. Also, one contract extends into 2017 which include price escalation provisions for each of the contract years.

"We are very excited about this renewed commitment from our customers," said Jos De Smedt, President & CEO of the Company. "This is further evidence of the quality of our coals and the outstanding service that our team delivers on a day-to-day basis to our customers and this has certainly paid off with increased volumes and a commitment into 2017 from one of our customers."

Calgary, AB -- November 28, 2013 -- CanAm Coal Corp. (TSXV: COE) (OTCQX: COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") has filed its condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the period ended September 30, 2013. These Q3 2013 financial statements include a restatement of the comparative Q3 2012 financials which is discussed in detail in the Q3 Management & Discussion Analysis ("MD&A"). Definitions of commonly used non-IFRS financial measures (EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow) are included at the end of this press release.

The Company announced today its third quarter 2013 financial results for the period ending September 30, 2013. Revenue, EBITDA from operations and loss for the quarter were $17.9 million, $3.4 million and ($0.9) million respectively as compared to $14.7 million, $3.3 million and ($1.0) million in the prior year. Sales for the quarter were 195,750 tons as compared to 157,900 tons in Q3 2012 or an increase of 24%.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, revenue, EBITDA from operations and loss were $47.3 million, $7.9 million and ($4.3) million respectively as compared to $40.8 million, $7.1 million and ($3.8) million in the prior year. Sales for the six month period were 513,691 tons compared to 405,609 tons in the prior year, an increase of 27%.

As previously discussed, our first and second quarter were mainly considered transition quarters as we migrated the majority of our operations into a new mine complement: Knight, Posey Mill 2 and Old Union 2. Together with our existing Powhatan mine, the productive capacity of this new mine complement is expected to consistently be in the range of 60,000 to 80,000 tons per month. Our mine transition was completed towards the end of Q2 and therefore we were able to run steady state level production at all of our mines during this quarter. As a result, the Company was able to deliver a record quarter of production, revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow. We achieved records at all levels of our operations:


Note: Refer to the definition of EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow on the last page of this press release.

With steady state and consistent production at our mines, we are now looking to optimize our cost structure and drive operational efficiencies across all of our mines. In this context, we are also targeting to closely match our production to our projected monthly and quarterly sales in order to minimize coal inventories. Although our costs have been coming down over the last couple of quarters, from $56/ton in Q1 to $51/ton in Q3, we are targeting to bring the average production cost per ton at or below $50/ton.

Third Quarter and YTD 2013 Financial Results


Key quarterly statistics for 2013 and Q3 2012 are as follows:


Note: Operating cash flow is before changes in non-cash working capital

Sales for the quarter were 195,750 tons, an increase of 16% over Q2 2013 sales and 31% over Q1 2013 sales. Record sales of 67,500 tons were achieved in July.
Long term off-take contracts continue to enable the Company to achieve better than market pricing for our high quality coals. Average sales price per ton for Q3 was consistent with prior 2013 quarters. The slightly lower average price as compared to last year is a result of our changing coal mix (i.e. a higher ratio of thermal coal versus metallurgical coal) and the termination of a met coal contract in early 2013.
All of our production is currently committed into our off-take contracts with our customers and we are fully contracted for the remainder of the year.
Average production cost per ton continues to trend down and was $51/ton as compared to $56/ton in Q1 of 2013 or a decrease of 9%. With all mines at steady state production now and with an ongoing focus on operational efficiencies, we are targeting to achieve an average cost per ton of at or below $50/ton. Q3 production costs were unfavorably impacted primarily by higher than anticipated fuel costs, mainly as a result of the spike of WTI oil prices during the third quarter, and higher than anticipated equipment repairs.
Operating cash flow of $2.0 million was double the cash flow achieved in the comparable quarter of 2012.
Investment in equipment and mine development was $1.7 million as compared to $5.2 million in the comparable period last year. On a year to date basis, capital expenditures were $6.6 million through the end of September or less than half of the $14.5 million in expenditures in the comparable prior year period. The Company does not anticipate any significant new equipment purchases for the remainder of the year.
Free cash flow at $1.7 million is significantly up from ($1.9) million in Q3 2012 and from ($0.6) million and $0.2 million in Q1 and Q2 of 2013 and has turned positive following increased EBITDA performance and significantly reduced capital expenditures.
Repayment of equipment financing obligations continues at a healthy pace and through September 30, 2013, the Company repaid $5.7 million of these obligations.
Repaid $0.5 million of our August 2013 debenture and refinanced $0.6 million with a maturity date of May 8, 2014.
Improved our financial flexibility with approximately $3.1 million of undrawn credit facilities.
Reviewing options with respect to the repayment and/or refinancing of all or a portion of the May 2014 debentures.

Company President and CEO, Jos De Smedt commented: "We are extremely pleased with our quarterly results as the hard work of our team to transition from mine development to steady state production at all of our mines is now paying off for our Company. From an operational perspective, record production and sales is certainly evidence that we can operate at these levels at our new mines and, from a financial perspective, our metrics continue to improve. Record EBITDA of $3.4 million and especially record free cash flow of $1.7 million are additional indicators that we will be able to start building our cash position going forward. Also, recently obtained additional credit facility has improved our financial flexibility. We need to continue to build upon this Q3 momentum as we close out 2013 and position ourselves for 2014. With 85+% of our business contracted for in 2014, we are well positioned for a successful 2014. "

Outlook for the remainder of 2013

Although all of our mines are now positioned to produce at optimum levels and all of our 2013 production is committed into our off-take contracts, we anticipate sales for Q4 to be below Q3 levels due to plant maintenance and other factors at three main customers and overall reduced shipping days during the year-end holiday season. These factors are temporary and sales at these customers are expected to revert to normal quarterly levels in January. In this context, for November and December, the Company has taken a decision to scale back production in order to monetize existing inventory levels and match our production to our anticipated sales levels and thus realize production cost savings. Full scale production is expected to resume in January. October production exceeded 70,000 tons.

The Company continues to believe its existing equipment fleet is sufficient for the foreseeable future with its existing mine plan. On this basis, no significant new equipment purchases are planned for the rest of 2013 and possibly all of 2014.

On the basis of the forgoing and the fact that all of 2013 production and the majority of 2014 production has been sold into off-take contracts with our customers, the Company expects to consistently generate free cash flow for the remainder of 2013 and 2014.

EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow

Statements throughout this MD&A make reference to EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow which are non-IFRS financial measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating financial performance of companies, including companies in the mining industry. Accordingly, management believes EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow may be a useful metric for evaluating the Company's performance as it is a measure management uses internally to assess performance, in addition to IFRS measures. As there is no generally accepted method of calculating EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow, the terms used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The items excluded from EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow are significant in assessing the Company's operating results and liquidity. EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income or other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA from operations is calculated as income from mining operations plus depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization less general and administrative costs. Free Cash Flow is calculated as EBITDA from operations less financed and non-financed capital expenditures. Other financial data has been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Pursuant to the REBgold Financing, REBgold issued a total of 37,300,385 shares at a price of $0.13 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $4.85 million. All of these shares were immediately exchanged for 37,300,385 Aquila shares pursuant to the Arrangement. In connection with the issuance of 2,285,000 REBgold shares for gross proceeds of $297,050 as part of the REBgold private placement, REBgold paid broker compensation consisting of (i) a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds related to such subscriptions, and (ii) non-transferable broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 159,950 REBgold shares (representing 7% of the REBgold shares related to such subscriptions) at a price of $0.15 per share for two years from the closing of the REBgold Financing. As a result of completion of the Arrangement, each Broker Warrant became exercisable for one Aquila share at a price $0.15 per share.

Looks good, wonder why it has dropped since? GLTY

Thanks for the input. I'm glad to see that. GLTY

Thanks

The last part of that article is interesting, as I've wondered about the people around the site. When I went to a mine in the UP of Michigan, there were signs all over, split about 50/50, for and against. Do you know what is going on down there? Thanks

Yes, I initially thought not so good, but there are some big hitters there. I should have redid that Romarco post, it came out of SEDAR a little messed up. GLTY
