Matawinie: A Large Near-Surface Resource
On March 19, 2020, Nouveau Monde announced an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and increases combined Measured & Indicated resources by 25 % to 120.3 Mt @ 4.26 % Cg, for its West Zone Deposit, located in the Tony Claim Block, which is part of its Matawinie graphite property. Mineralization remains open at depth and both to the north and south. The current size and possibility to grow the resource beyond this is important in light of the coming growth in the EV and renewable energy sectors.
Mineral Resource
- Measured : 24.5 Mt @ 4.27% Cg
- Indicated: 95.8 Mt @ 4.26% Cg
- Measured & Indicated: 120.3 Mt @ 4.26% Cg
- Current planned mineral reserve: 59.8 Mt
