Rambler Metals and Mining is Junior Mining Company that has 100% ownership of the Ming Copper-Gold Mine in Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Rambler is well on the way to becoming a mid-tier mining company through production from Ming Mine, discovering new deposits and through M&A’s. Rambler listed on the London AIM in 2005 and Toronto TSX-V in 2007.
The Ming property had been a former underground copper and gold producing mine that ceased production when the deposit reached a then third party property boundary. This neighbouring property was subsequently consolidated before being brought into Rambler’s portfolio. Rambler now owns a 100% interest in the property.
The area where the mine is located is a former mining centre and subsequently good infrastructure exists including roads, fresh water, hydro, access to a working port while the town of Baie Verte, population 1,300 is located 17km away.
Over the last several years Rambler has been exploring on the property leading to the publication of three NI43-101 resource statements, a newly published reserve statement, the discovery of new mineralized lenses and the extension of pre-existing lenses. Today all mineralization remains open in multiple directions while, importantly, the deposit has not been cut-off at depth. With production now underway all underground workings have been dewatered and services including air, water and electrical re-installed.
In October 2009, Rambler purchased an operational gold hydrometallurgical mill, Nugget Pond, which is situated approximately 40km from the Ming Mine. Rambler has expanded the mill so that it is capable of handling massive sulphides from the Ming Mine to produce a copper concentrate with gold and silver as by-products. By utilizing the hydrometallurgical facility, in conjunction with the concentrator, the Company anticipates increased gold recovery as well as recovering any free gold.
Rambler Metals and Mining plc currently trades on London's AIM market under symbol RMM and on the TSX:V under symbol RAB.
