Alexco Resources Corp.Overview

Alexco Resource Corp. is an environmental services/junior exploration company nearing production at its wholly owned Keno Hill silver district. Alexco is also receiving revenue for cleanup of the district and has unfettered access to develop the district indemnified from all prior environmental liability. The district has historically produced over 200 million ounces of silver and may be among the highest grade silver districts in the world with potential reminiscent of the Silver Valley in northern Idaho. Catalysts for appreciation in the next 12 months include:

  • Type A Water License and initiating production at Bellekeno

  • Drill Results at Bellekeno, Silver King, Lucky Queen and Onek

  • Cash flow generation from Bellekeno mill and environmental business

Silver Wheaton (NYSE: SLW) has agreed to fund C$50 million of the capital costs of the Bellekeno mine in order to purchase 25% of the silver to be produced at Keno Hill. Both Alexco and Silver Wheaton anticipate significant expansion of the resource, extension of the mine life at Bellekeno, and development of additional mine operations in the district. The high level of infrastructure at Keno Hill, the Development Plan for the Bellekeno mine and mill, suggests a highly profitable, low-cost, low-risk mine operation.

 

Investment Thesis

Alexco has significant upside potential in 2010 from initiating production, exploration success, and exposure to metal prices. As Bellekeno is potentially one of the highest grade silver mines in the world, even at modest production levels, should be surprisingly profitable.. Alexco has assimilated prior operating and exploration data with an abundance of exploration targets. Alexco is adequately funded to complete the exploration and advance to production in 2010 upon receiving the Type A Water License.

Beacon Rock Research

Alexco Resource Corp. (AMEX: AXU, TSX: AXR) is a junior exploration resource company with world-class assets and a unique business model that is not yet fully appreciated. Alexco has 100% ownership of the world-class high-grade Keno Hill silver district in the Yukon Territory, Canada (Figure 1). They also operate a niche environmental business with important proprietary patents and processes, providing cash flow as well as in-house environmental permitting and management expertise. The combination of these two fully symbiotic assets creates an entirely unique dimension of value uncommon in the mining or environmental remediation industries.

We attended the recent Silver Summit Investor Conference in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. We looked forward to taking the pulse of silver enthusiasts following the spring-summer long retreat in the metal’s price..

The development of Alexco’s mine and mill at Bellekeno is on schedule for completion for commissioning and start-up of the mill in the third quarter of 2010. The issuance of the Type A Water Use License is the last major step after completion of the mill and mine to commence operation. The Type A Water License has been submitted in a form and substance adequate for the Yukon Water Board to render a decision.

 Alexco Resources (NYSE Amex: AXU, TSX: AXR) provided an update on the construction of its Bellekeno mine and mill on July 6, 2010.  The inadvertent discovery of high-grades (samples of 1,428 g/t silver or 45.8 opt over 2.0 meters) at Flame and Moth uncovered during construction are an indication of the potential for locating mineralized material covered by thin layers of overburden and further positive exploration surprises at Keno Hill.  Other indicators of further mineralization have been encountered in post holes when hanging power lines.  Alexco has initiated surface drilling at Flame and Moth and has several surface and underground drills which may provide a pipeline of positive news releases over 2010.
