The property offers exceptional exploration potential for critical minerals, particularly zinc and copper. The Matagami Mining Camp has produced nearly 60 million tons of ore over 60 years of continuous operation.
The property features a 3,000-ton-per-day concentrator, last operated by Glencore in 2022. This infrastructure not only reduces the capital requirements for reactivation but also accelerates the timeline for potential production. Extensive geological and operational data inherited from Glencore provides a strong foundation for efficient exploration and development.
