The Bathurst Camp ranks top three VMS (Volcanogenic massive sulfide) mining districts in the world.

• There are more than 46 VMS deposits, greater than 475M tonnes;

• Excellent infrastructure including modern roads, highway networks, railways, and a deep-water port;

• Bathurst #12 Mine was in production for more than 5 decades and produced 136.6M tonnes of ore.

As a result, the region has a well-establish permitting framework and a clear regulatory environment in addition to a skilled local workforce.

• Exploration permits are approved within three weeks of submittal;
  
  
• Ongoing regulatory support and advice is available as an “open door” approach;
  
  
• The permitting pathway to development decision is well defined;
  
  
• New Brunswick has largely flat topography enabling cost-effective pit development versus steep mountain ranges found in western Canada or other prolific base metal mineral districts throughout North and South America.
