Donner Metals Ltd. - Base Metal Exploration
Donner Metals Ltd. has made high grade zinc and copper discoveries in the prolific Matagami camp of Quebec - right beside Xstrata's producing Perseverance mine. Xstrata has commenced a scoping study on 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.
The Donner / Xstrata team won Explorer of the Year in Quebec for 2007 because of the Bracemac-McLeod discovery. Now, with support from SIDEX, Donner Metals and Xstrata Zinc have been nominated for the international Outstanding Achievement Exploration Award by the Mines and Money World Congress in London. Thank you for your voting support! Winners will be announced after December 3rd, 2008.
Donner Metals Ltd. is a Canadian base metal exploration company based in Vancouver. Donner has advanced exploration projects in the mining-friendly Canadian jurisdictions of Quebec and Labrador. These projects focus on exploration for zinc, copper, and nickel deposits.
