![]() | The Alaska magnetite project includes approximately three million tons of | |
| good quality magnetite with small but recoverable amounts of copper and gold. The project includes patented mining claims, and we are negotiating discussing access and land use issues with the surrounding land owner. The permitting process has begun and we hope to being production in 18- 24 months. The Company expects this magnetite will be exported to the Far East as iron ore. |
![]() | The Vancouver Island magnetite project consists of several small reserves | |
| of relatively high-grade magnetite near Sayward and a larger reserve near Campbell River. A bulk sample was produced in 2005 and the permitting process is progressing. The project is in continuing discussions with the owner of a nearby ship-loading facility to enable loading of ocean going ships. These magnetite resources will be developed as sources of iron ore for export to the Far East and possibly a source of media iron for US and Canadian coal mines. |
![]() | The Whitehorse project involves reprocessing tailings from a closed copper | |
| mine (Whitehorse Copper Mine) to extract magnetite and reclaim the site. The project has completed a land lease with the Yukon government and has started the permitting process which is expected to take 12-18 months. The magnetite will be shipped as iron ore to Far East steel makers through the ore terminal in Skagway, Alaska. |
