Project Overview
Located approximately 275 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay.
Premier acquired Hardrock claims in December 2008 from Lac Properties.
The Property is a Brownfield site, actively mined (underground) from the 1930’s – 1990’s.
Premier proposes to construct, operate and ultimately close/rehabilitate a new open pit gold mine, collectively known as the Hardrock Project.

5. Key Project Components

Key Project Components
Realignment of Highway 11
Highway 11 and Michael Powers Boulevard (MPB) traverse a portion of the Hardrock gold deposit.
Re-routing of approximately 5 to 7 km of Highway 11 is anticipated, bypassing the Project.
Open Pit Mining
Life of Mine will be 15 years

7. Transportation Design Considerations
PG:TSX
Transportation Design Considerations
Re-alignment alternatives developed to meet 110 km/h design speed.
Horizontal curves designed to have a minimum radius of 525 m.
Vertical curves - Minimum crest curve K > 90
Minimum sage curve K > 50
Corridor width = 60 m (min.)
Minimum offset from open pit of 500 m.
New at-grade intersection required at MPB.
Construction over/across historical tailings

Existing Conditions
The existing highway has a posted speed of 90 km/h, reduced to 70 km/h approaching the junction of Highway 11 and MPB.
The existing highway and ROW constructed over historical mine tailings.
Realignment options traverse low to moderate bedrock controlled terrain with approximately 20 – 30 % of length occupied by 1-2 m thick organic deposits.
All options cross a portion of the McLeod High Tailings (MHT) for a length of approximately 1.2 km.
All options cross MPB and hydroelectric power lines.
