Shares of Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (TSX and NASDAQ: MPVD) surged on Thursday after releasing its latest mineral resource estimates at the Faraday 2 kimberlite, located within the Kennady North Project, NWT, Canada. The stock rebounded by more than 12% at the open in Toronto, lifting the company's market capitalization to over C$256 million.

The updated inferred mineral resource at Faraday 2 highlights 5.45 million carats of diamonds, a hefty 74% increase over its 2017 estimate of 3.13 million carats. In addition, a total of 2.07 million tonnes of kimberlite was reported, a 49% increase from the previous estimate. This results in an overall grade of 2.63 carats per tonne, compared with 2.24 carats per tonne in 2017.

The company reports the attributed average value per carat at Faraday 2 has increased to $140, a 25% improvement from the 2017 value of $112 per carat. The average value is derived by applying a base case value distribution model to models of recoverable (+1 mm) diamond size frequency distribution for each geological domain.

"The Faraday 2 project is one of three known kimberlites within our wholly-owned exploration properties adjacent to the Gahcho Kué Mine," president and CEO Stuart Brown said. "As anticipated from our microdiamond results reported earlier this year, the inclusion of the northwest extension at Faraday 2 has greatly increased the value of this resource and at an average diamond value of $140 per carat offers significant potential."

The agency cited particular risks from the practice of borrowing short-term and lending long-term, a practice called "maturity intermediation" that helped doom Lehman Brothers and shook Wall Street to its core. In addition, it identified issues with liquidity, leverage and credit transformation, or investing in high-risk high-return vehicles, which can include leveraged loans^[1].

"The exposure of the global financial system to risk from shadow banking is growing," DBRS said. "Weaknesses in these shadow banks arising from these activities could result in runs that could instigate or exacerbate financial market stress."

To be sure, industry advocates stress that its institutions still face substantial regulation and have become better capitalized in the days since the crisis. They cite the importance of the industry in providing financing to borrowers who can't go to traditional banks.

In its analysis, DBRS noted as well that the collective investment vehicles actually help provide buffers against market stress so long as outflows are contained. Moreover, the low interest rate climate that has pervaded the world as central banks look to keep financial conditions accommodative has helped mitigate downside risks.

Still, the sheer size of shadow banking and its peers in the nonbank financial industry poses potential risks should those ideal conditions change.

Nonbank financials, which also include insurance companies, pension funds and the like, have grown 61% to $185 trillion. Traditional bank assets have increased 35% to $148 trillion during the same period.

DBRS identified three specific risks that shadow banks pose under times of market stress: That they are "not structured" to deal with periods of low liquidity and heavy withdrawals; a lack of experience in dealing with periods of weakening credit conditions, and a lack of earnings diversification that would hurt them when parts...
