Mont Sorcier Project Update
At the Mont Sorcier high-purity iron project, detailed metallurgical test work and flow sheet design continued during the quarter. All key workstreams are now engaged and the Company has commenced an infill drill program to update sufficient resources to the Proven and Probable categories as required to support the ongoing feasibility. Assay results remain pending at this time.
The Bankable Feasibility Study will look to provide greater detail of the potential for the project that was highlighted in the previous 2022 NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") that delivered a project NPV 8% of US$1.6 Billion based upon iron concentrates grading 65% iron. With the improved metallurgical results received to date the Company is confident it can deliver a high purity DRI grade Iron ore concentrate product of over 67% iron, enhancing the project value and delivering a highly desired product to support the Green Steel transition.
Chibougamau Independent Mines holds a 2% Gross Metal Royalty on iron and vanadium production from the Mont Sorcier property.
