Ownership information

  • Type Owner-Operator
    Owner Laurentian Titanium Mines Ltd.
    Interest 100
    Year 1982

Comments on the production information

  • THE MOST LIKELY USE FOR THE ILMENITE CONCENTRATE WOULD BE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SORELSLAG, WHICH HAS A MINIMUM SPECIFICATION OF 70% TIO2. THE ANNUAL AVERAGE PRODUCTION OF CONCENTRATE AFTER 1985 IS ESTIMATED AT 400,000 TONS OF CONCENTRATE, AVERAGING 34% OF TIO2 AND 43% OF FE.

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • INCLUDES A PROPOSED SLAG SMELTER.
  • M1C1=M9C4. ORE RESOURCES ARE FOR THE HEOMO-ILMENITE ZONE ONLY RESERVES ARE FOR THE LARGER TITANIFEROUS MAGNETITE DEPOSIT SURROUNDING THE HEMO ILMENITE DEPOSIT.

Comments on other economic factors

  • BY ASSUMING THAT THE DEPOSITS ARE FEASIBLE, AND THAT CONSTRUCTION STARTS IN 1981, FULL PRODUCTION OF THE PROPERTY COULD BE EXPECTED IN 1985. AS OF 1992 PROPERTY WAS NOT IN PRODUCTION. ON THE BASIS OF TOTAL MINABLE RESERVES, ORE (IN SITU RESERVES AND MINE RECOVERY) OF 30,020,000 METRIC TONS AND A PRODUCTION RATE OF 1,000,000 METRIC TONS OF ORE PER YEAR, THE PROPERTY WILL HAVE A LIFE OF 30 YEARS. ORE WILL PROBABLY BE MILLED ON SITE AND THEN SHIPPED TO THE SOREL SMELTER FOR PRODUCTION OF TITANIA SLAG.

Subject category Comment text
Deposit THE VISUALIZED MINING PLANS FOR THE PIN-ROUGE LAKE MINERAL BODIES WILL CONSIST OF THREE OPEN PIT MINES; TWO OPEN PITS LOCATED AT THE MAIN ORE BODY, ONE NORTH OF THE PIN-ROUGE LAKE, THE OTHER SOUTH OF THE LAKE. AT THE PRESENT TIME, ALURENTIAN TITANIUM MINES IS LOOKING FOR A PARTNER TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED CAPITAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY.
