Dunlop Nickel Copper Project
About the Project
The Nemeiben Lake ultramafic pluton, which hosts the Dunlop deposit, in the Churchill Province of the Canadian Shield in central Saskatchewan, is a small 1.6 km circular plug largely composed of concentric layers of clinopyroxenite, websterite, and wehrlite. Minor dunite and gabbro is present in the northwestern reaches of the pluton. Disseminated primary magmatic pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, and chromite occur throughout the deposit and reach proportions of further interest in the northern outcrops. A secondary assemblage, considered low-grade Ni-Cu of fine-grained oxides, sulphides, and native metals occurs in serpentinized and uralitized peridotites and pyroxenites and has not been fully evaluated The Dunlop Ni-Cu historical deposit is accessible by an all-weather provincial highway. • Previous drilling (16,700 meters) in 1960-1980 identified a historical deposit totalling 18.11 million tonnes of Ni, and Cu mineralization of which 12.83 million tonnes were considered able to be mined as an open pit and the balance by underground mining. Grades ranged from 0.55 Ni – 1.46% Ni and 0.15% Cu - 0.39% Cu with assays of up to 0.35% Cr and 0.15% Co (Source Reference: SMDI#0749 Saskatchewan Mineral Database Identification Number). • Previous economic valuations proposed that the property be mined at 900 tonnes per day and the ore refined at the Anglo Rouyn mill. However, once the Anglo Rouyn property ceased production the mill was dismantled and the plans for mining this deposit were dropped. Prices in 1966 for Nickel were $0.84 US/lb and for Copper were $0.45 US/lb vs the much higher current day prices for Nickel of $11.17 US/lb and Copper at $4.03 US/lb. No precious metals i.e. gold, silver, platinum and palladium values were included in the economic valuations at that time. • There is the potential to lower the carbon footprint based on CO2 sequestration in tailings. A Net Carbon Negative or Carbon Neutral potential exists at this project
