Preliminary economic assessment of the Montviel lanthanides/niobium deposit
The Montviel project benefits from permanent access, public infrastructure and available labour in the immediate area. The mine design uses an underground approach via ramp access with paste backfill minimizing the environmental impacts. An initial annual production in the range of 2,000 tonnes of neodymium oxides is targeted. Anticipated project energy would be provided by the Hydro-Québec distribution grid using an average power line. A preliminary economic assessment by G Mining Services Inc. is expected by the end of calendar 2013.
