Where We Are In The Process

• Still in Exploration stage

• over $100M spent to date

• Consultation with FN’s

Overview• One of the most significant exploration

plays in Ontario’s history

• Significant discoveries of chromite, nickel, copper and platinum group elements

• Chromite potential emerging as the most significant development opportunity

Overview

• Development could include: mine, mill, smelter refinery

• Requires significant infrastructure development including rail, hydro transmission and port facilities

• An opportunity to think strategically and plan for development in an environmentally sustainable manner

Overview• Significant economic development driver for

Northern Ontario, supporting regional and community infrastructure development and value-added manufacturing

• Significant economic development opportunities for a number of First Nation communities

• Significant direct and indirect jobs during construction as well as permanent jobs once facilities are in production

What is NeededMine and Mill • Open pit…..• Construction of a concentrating mill (at mine site?); estimated 4000 tonnes

per day

Processing• $500M ferrochrome foundry/smelter; technology options studied• Sourcing coking coal for smelting process

Infrastructure• Construction of a new railway line (~350 km) to ship ore or concentrate• Significant electrical power:

– 25 to 35 MW for a mine/mill facility– 100 MW for a smelter

• Deep-water port locations for a possible smelter site

Our Strategic Approach

Perspective

• This is only one of the major activity areas in the Mining Exploration Field.
