Nickel / PGM Project
This Project is Different
We hear a lot these days about how difficult it is to put new critical minerals projects into production in Canada, with regulatory red tape to deal with, mining resistant First Nations, and often a shortage of critical infrastructure. The Minago Ni/PGM Project is different. Environmental permitting is almost complete. The project not only has First Nation support but is 100% owned by the Norway House Cree Nation (NHCN).
NHCN seeks a senior mining company partner that shares our vision to advance the project.
Welcome to a New Age of Mine Development in Canada.
Our Vision
NHCN acquired 100% ownership of the Minago Ni/PGM Project on November 1, 2024. The Nation did this so they could advance the project into production in a manner that directly benefits their members, as well as other Nations in the project vicinity, with jobs and business opportunities.
NHCN also wants to ensure the project is developed in the most environmentally sustainable manner possible, as a leading low carbon mine site that maximizes the extraction of value from the mineral deposit and from the waste products with an absolute minimum of emissions to air, water, and land.
Well Located
The Project site is in the Central region of the Thompson Nickel Belt. Minago is the most advanced project in this underexplored section of the Belt. The Project is well-located to existing infrastructure - adjacent to PTH 6 and a 230 kV hydro power line, 60 km south of the Bay Line rail at Ponton, and a 4.5 hr drive north of Winnipeg.
NHCN is positioning the Minago Project to become a Ni mining and processing hub for the central region of the nickel belt.
Located close to Highway 6 and 230kV power line.
The Thompson Nickel Belt
Development Ready with Exploration Upside
The property currently comprises 94 mineral claims and 2 mining leases covering 19,661 ha.
The current Minago mineral resource and Project plan is primarily based on open pit mining of the Nose Deposit. with possible future expansion to include the North Limb deposit, which has not yet been fully drilled off.
The Nose deposit remains open at depth, and the North Limb is open along strike and at depth.
Permitting Status
The project has a Manitoba Environment Act Licence (. ) and NHCN is in the process of completing a Notice of Alteration to implement improvements to Tailings Storage Facility design and water management/ treatment plans. The NOA review is in the final stages of Section 35 Consultation with First Nations, with completion expected in Q1 2025.
