A Near-Term Development Opportunity
- Dominant land package in the prolific Lac Dore (Chibougamau) camp
- Excellent infrastructure (past permitted mill and tailings)
- Numerous deposits with substantial upside:
- Corner Bay – First drilling program successfully expanded ore resources by 97%
- Cedar Bay – First drilling establishes maiden resource 1.9% Cu, 8.61g/t Au
- Devlin Deposit – near surface deposit grading ~2.5% Cu
- Dore Lake Ramp – high-grade gold/copper zone close to Copper Rand (mill)
- Opportunity to further consolidate the camp through acquisition –
numerous prospective gold and base metal in area.
- Unique Copper/Gold deposits that provide commodity diversification
- Quebec is one of the world’s most favourable mining jurisdictions with
an attractive flow-through structure, experienced contractors and workers
- AmAuCu to acquire up to an initial 80% interest through an earn-in
arrangement from Ocean Partners by spending $10 million over 5.5 years and then one payment of $5 million in subsequent 2 years. Ocean Partners will represent a significant development partner for future production and have 100% off take of Chibougamau production AuCu
