INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Raytec Metals Corp. is poised to meet the growing needs of the developing Asian nations:
-
Potash to meet strong demand for more food and improved diets among a growing global population;
-
Iron Ore to meet huge demand for steel used in construction in China and India; and
-
Uranium to meet increasing need for cleaner, more efficient energy.
Strong Projects
Raytec's potash claims are located in close proximity to producing potash mines in central Saskatchewan. The claims have been found to contain the same potash sequencesa s Potash Corporation of Saskatchwan's Corey Mine and Agrium Inc.'s Vanscoy Mine. Other highlights include:
-
Excellent infrastructure - the claims are located approximately 25 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon and is crossed by both highways and railroads and has access to gas and electric power.
-
The claims are located in the shallowest area of the Prairie Evaporite formation at approximately 920 metres depth. The comparable Vanscoy mine operated by Agrium located to the south is mining at 1,075 metres. The 155-metre different may represent approximately 14% less in CapEx for mine shaft development and 14% less OpEx associated with moving potash ore material to surface.
-
Claims are immediately adjacent to claims held by BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc.
-
Six holes were historically drilled, two of which lie on Raytec ground and the other four on BHP Billiton ground and may contain sufficient data to fast track work in the area.
Rayec's El Sol iron ore project contains a historical non-NI43-101-compliant resource estimate of 315 million tons grading 32% Fe (iron) and its Gunflint project contains a non-NI43-101-compliant resource estimate of 270 million tons averaging 26.29% Fe.
