www.nuinsco.ca Background
In early 2006, Nuinsco assisted in restructuring Campbell Resources Limited (“Campbell”), a gold and copper mining company with operations and exploration projects in Quebec’s prolific Chibougamau Mining Camp. The Chibougamau Mining Camp has produced more than 40 million tonnes of ore, 3 million ounces of gold and 1.5 billion pounds of copper. During 2008, Campbell experienced significant financial difficulties resulting from production delays and financing issues, and in January 2009 Campbell announced that it had entered CCAA protection. In July 2010 Nuinsco, along with Ocean Partners Holding Limited (Ocean Partners), both of which were secured creditors of Campbell, acquired the $24 million debt of Campbell they did not previously own. As a result, the two companies hold $40 million of debt and have effectively gained control over the Chibougamau Mining Camp. The Chibougamau Mining Camp includes 16 past producing gold and copper mines. Key exploration and development assets that form part of the Nuinsco/Ocean Partners holdings include:
Corner Bay: 1.9 million tons grading 6.48% Cu;
near-surface, exploration potential at depth
Cedar Bay: produced 3.8 million tons grading
1.57% Cu and 0.091 oz/tonne Au; shaft down to 3,100 feet; exploration potential at depth
Copper Rand Mill: permitted 3,000+ tpd mill and
tailings facility
Chibougamau Land Package Exploration Potential:
Factors that combine to shed new light on the Chibougamau Mining Camp’s exploration potential include:
An almost complete lack of exploration drilling by
the historic operators during the latter 20 years of production;
Long-term projections for high copper and gold
prices;
New geological insights gained since the 1980s.
As a result there are now several excellent exploration scenarios that present themselves to Nuinsco and Ocean Partners.
