The Matagami Project: Donner Metals is a junior mining exploration company that has made high grade zinc and copper discoveries in the prolific Matagami camp of Quebec - right beside Xstrata's producing Perseverance mine. Joint Venture partner Xstrata Zinc Canada is nearing completion of a scoping study on the Bracemac-McLeod discovery that the Donner / Xstrata team made in 2007 and further delineated in 2008. With a positive feasibility study, this discovery has the potential to be fast tracked into near-term production.

Donner and Xstrata have a joint venture agreement and are actively searching for additional feed for the Matagami Lake Mill on the 801 square kilometre Matagami Project Area. Capital costs are quite low due to the proximity of Xstrata's 2,600 tonnes / day mill and the established infrastructure at the Matagami Camp, including an airport, railway, paved road, and access to power.
