About Matamec
Matamec Explorations Inc. is a junior mining exploration company
whose main focus is in developing the Kipawa HREE deposit with
TRECan. Following the positive conclusion of the PEA study filed on
SEDAR in March 2012 (resources that are not mineral reserves do not
have demonstrated economic viability), Matamec and TRECan, JV
partners, decided to move directly to the feasibility study.
In parallel, the Company is exploring more than 35 km of strike
length in the Kipawa Alkalic Complex for rare
earths-yttrium-zirconium-niobium-tantalum mineralization on its
Zeus property. Since 2008, Matamec discovered many potential
showings. Particularly, it drilled the PB-PS Zone in the fall of
2012 and identified similar
Eudialyte-Mosandrite/Yttro-Tantanite/Britholite associated
mineralization founded at the HREE Kipawa Deposit. This type of
mineralization is presently known over 200 metres long and it opens
laterally and at depth. The Company plans to drill these extensions
later this year.
The Company is also exploring for gold, base metals and platinum
group metals. Its gold portfolio includes the Matheson JV property
located along strike and in close proximity to the Hoyle Pond Mine
in the prolific mining camp of Timmins, Ontario. In Quebec, the
Company is exploring for lithium and tantalum on its Tansim
property and for precious and base metals on its Sakami, Valmont
and Vulcain properties.
