Bankable Feasibility Study in The Cards for Mont Sorcier Iron Deposit
December 04 2024 - 1:49PM
Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. (CBG-TSX-V in Canada,
CLL1-Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Lang & Schwarz Stock Exchanges in
Germany, CMAUF-OTC in the US) and GLOBEX MINING
ENTERPRISES INC. (GMX – Toronto Stock Exchange, G1MN – Frankfurt,
Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Tradegate, Lang &
Schwarz, L&S Exchange, TTMzero, Düsseldorf, Quotrix
Düsseldorf Stock Exchanges and
GLBXF – OTCQX International in the US) are pleased to
provide an update as regards the Mont Sorcier Iron Project near
Chibougamau Quebec.
Chibougamau maintains a 2% Gross Metal
Royalty on all mineral production from the property and Globex
maintains a 1% Gross Metal Royalty on iron produced from the
property.
As a reminder, the Mont Sorcier Iron Deposit is
a 678.5 Mt Indicated Resources and 546.6 Mt Inferred Resources
Deposit which will produce a ±67% iron concentrate with less than
2.5% silica and alumina combined. Source: NI 43-101
Technical Report, Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the
Mont Sorcier Project – Quebec, Canada dated September 8, 2022 and
June 9, 2022 for the Effective Date of Resource. Prepared by
Qualified Persons Simon Boudreau, P.Eng., Tim Fletcher, P.Eng.,
Daniel Gagnon, P.Eng., Mathieu Girard, P.Eng., Marina Lund, P.Geo.,

Cerrado Gold Inc. (CERT-TSXV, CRDOF-OTCQX) has
reported (see Cerrado’s press release dated December 4, 2024) that
metallurgical test work is ongoing as part of a NI 43-101 Bankable
Feasibility Study (BFS) targeted to be completed by the end of Q1,
2026. The BFS will include an updated Mineral Resource Estimate,
mine design and planning, Geotech and hydrogeology among other
things. Per Cerrado, “The Bankable Feasibility Study will look to
provide greater detail into the potential of the project that was
highlighted in the previous 2022 NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic
Assessment (“PEA”) that delivered a project NPV 8% of US$1.6
Billion ($2.25 Billion CDN). With a higher quality, 67%+ iron
concentrate product now expected, we anticipate any cost inflation
to be largely offset by premium pricing. The PEA outlined a project
producing 5.0 million tonnes of high-grade iron concentrates per
annum (equivalent to producing 300,000 Au ounces per year at long
term consensus prices) over a 21-year mine life. This material
would then be rail hauled on existing railways to the Port of
Saguenay for export to global markets. Given the scale of the
existing resource, future expansion remains a likely
possibility.”
Cerrado also reported that “TD Bank and UKEF
have agreed to sponsor 70% of project capital required, subject to
customary conditions of Expert Credit Agency Funding.”
Chibougamau and Globex are pleased that the Mont
Sorcier is advancing and are looking forward to the updated
Feasibility Study which is a major step toward production.
