For the past 100 years Manitoba has been one of the most productive mining regions in the world for nickel, copper, zinc, gold, lithium and cesium. Currently Manitoba is home to 9 operating mines which includes mines in the productive Thompson, Lynn Lake, Leaf Rapids, Snow Lake and Flin Flon areas.
In Particular, the Flin Flon VMS district is the largest Paleoproterozoic VMS district in the world and hosts 27 significant deposits that originally contained over 154 Mt of Cu-Zn ore, including the Trout Lake and 777 mines.1
Quantum Minerals Corp. owns 100% working interest in the Rocky Lake Project, located within the Flin Flon VMS district, as well as 100% working interest in the Carrot River and Namew Lake Projects also located in mining friendly Manitoba.
Canada is the worlds' largest Zinc producer, and second largest nickel and lead producer.2 Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide deposits account for roughly 27% of Canada's copper production, 49% of its zinc production, and 40% of its silver production.3
With the resource sector rallying, QMC management feels confident in its ability to create shareholder value through discovering and developing world-class Ni, Cu, Zn, Au, deposits in Manitoba, Canada.
