Dolomite extraction from a new quarry North-East of Quebec province, Canada
July 2013

DOLOMITE
CaMg(CO3)2
Calcium, magnesium & carbonate source.
Dolomite differs from Limestone CaCO3 in that it contains magnesium as well as calcium.

Dolomite specifications from our new quarry Test results as of July 2013
Low SiO2 HSP2
As a reference, pure dolomite has the following chemical composition: 31,3% CaO + 21,1% Mg0 + 47,2% CO2 (LOI) for a total of 99,8% of the mineral.

Quarry & size reduction operations
Operations
Typical quarrying methods to extract the dolomite will be used. Operation will include drilling and blasting, loading and hauling from the quarry to the stockyard adjacent to where the dolomite will be crushed. Waste rock generated during quarrying will be stored adjacent to overburden stockpiles and will be used for future rehabilitation of the quarry site. All operating equipment will be supplied by the contractor and will include drills, loaders or excavators, haulage trucks, and de-watering equipment.

University research results
Rosa Galvez, director of the department of civil engineering and water engineering at Laval University has a mission: restore the most polluted lakes in Quebec, one of them being Lac St-Augustin, near Quebec City contaminated by phosphate which induces the proliferation of Blue-green algaes: A unique pilot project in the province.
http://www.radio-canada.ca/util/postier/suggerer-go.asp?nID=1022480PS: Rosa Galvez just confirmed after extensive studies that dolomite is a great mineral to dramatically alleviate the phosphate problem in contaminated lakes, rivers, etc.

Advantages of doing business with us
• No quality dolomite shortage expected (> 700 000 000 mt reserves)• Our dolomite is widespread and is part of a uniform deposit• Easy site access to ocean shipping: ease of moving equipment and
workforce in and getting our mined product out to market
• Low extraction costs, the dolomite deposit being horizontal: ease of extraction (open cast sites / quarrying in softer rocks typically easer and hence cheaper than deep hard rock mining).
• Supply capacity: 500 000 – 1 000 000MT/year • Purity of our dolomite (low iron and silica) : can be used in almost all
applications• Quarry : ready to ship dolomite• Mainline railway and national highway are adjacent to the quarry.• Size reduction to dolomite mesh powders• Access to skilled subcontractors
