QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) engages
in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties.
All of the company’s projects are located in the Province of Manitoba, one of
Canada’s most mining-friendly, productive and centrally located mining regions.
Focusing on spodumene-bearing (lithium) rare-element pegmatites, precious and
base metal properties, QMC’s projects include the Irgon lithium mine project
and two volcanic massive sulphide (“VMS”) properties — the Rocky Lake and
Rocky-Namew — known collectively as the Namew Lake District Project. QMC’s goal
is to locate and develop economic precious, base and rare-metal resource
properties of merit.
The flagship Irgon lithium mine project consists of the
Irgon Dike and several other known spodumene-bearing pegmatite dikes that have
been identified within the property. The Irgon project is comprised of 22
contiguous mineral claims that encompass a total of 11,325 acres. The Irgon
lithium mine is positioned only 20 kilometers north of the TANCO mine. To date,
this mine has been one of North America’s most successful lithium producing
operations. As QMC moves forward, it is aggressively working toward having its
Irgon lithium mine project be the company’s first property to reach full
production (http://ibn.fm/ctIvw).
During the recent Irgon drill program, the company announced
that Cabot Corp., the owners of the nearby Tantalum Mining Corporation of
Canada’s (TANCO) mine, had provided QMC with the opportunity to evaluate and
re-sample the drill core that TANCO retained in storage from its 1978 drill
program. This historical drilling was undertaken on the Central and Mapetre
pegmatite dikes, which are also situated within the Irgon property. QMC has
confirmed the presence of significant spodumene mineralization in the
historical drill core (http://ibn.fm/5K8h1).
In the 1978 logs, visual spodumene was reported. QMC has
confirmed, on resampling, that pegmatite was intersected in all drill holes.
QMC sawed the half core left in the core box, leaving a quarter of the original
core in the TANCO inventory. SGS Labs analyzed the samples obtained from the
core for 56 elements, including lithium, tantalum, niobium, rubidium and
cesium. Analysis was by sodium peroxide fusion followed by inductively coupled
plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES/ICP-MS).
Lithium-ion batteries are used in electric vehicles (EVs),
laptops, notebooks, cell phones, power tools and more. Energy &
Capital noted (http://ibn.fm/O9WPD)
that “even though the EV business has grown significantly over the past several
years, the market is just now prepared to really take off. Global electric
vehicle production is expected to increase by more than 30x in the next 15
years alone! And as a result, lithium demand is expected to follow.” This is
excellent news for QMC, with the Irgon lithium project moving quickly toward
production.
QMC’s 100 percent owned Namew Lake District Property covers
the Rocky Lake Discovery, which lies within the world-class Flin Flon/Snow Lake
VMS mining district of Northwestern Manitoba. The property encompasses roughly
23,000 hectares. The formerly producing Namew Lake mine, located within the
same greenstone belt, is 11 kilometers away and produced 2.57 million tonnes of
copper, nickel, gold, silver, palladium and platinum during its five-year mine
life. QMC’s initial emphasis is on bringing the Irgon lithium mine property
into production. However, the Namew Lake District property remains a very prospective,
yet largely untested, project with excellent potential to bring a strong future
to QMC.
Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, QMC is at the
vanguard in North America to meet the increasing demand in the lithium market.
The company is also leveraging opportunities and diversification across the
precious and base-metals sectors. With significant historical exploration and
development having now been enhanced by recent drilling and sampling results,
QMC offers investors the potential for ROI as it focuses on its Irgon and two
VMS projects.
