ARGEX ENGAGES BAA INC. TO COMPLETE A SCOPING STUDY ON ITS LA BLACHE PROPERTY
Argex Mining Inc. has engaged BBA Inc., one of Canada's leading firms of independent
engineering professionals in the mining and metals sector, to complete
a scoping study compliant with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects for the La Blache property. The scoping study will comprise the
evaluation of the mining and milling operations, and metallurgical
processing facility, accompanied by all necessary infrastructures
needed for the development of the La Blache property. It is expected
that a cost estimate and financial analysis should be completed by
March 31, 2011.
The major areas to be covered by the scoping study of BBA include mine
design, general infrastructure, integration of the contributions of
third parties (metallurgy, environmental study, market study,
transportation study and others), capital and operating cost estimates,
cash flow model and financial analysis, and a project implementation
schedule.
Argex's objective is to develop a world-class titanium mining operation
with a hydrometallurgical processing facility treating upward of three
million tonnes per year of ore, producing high-grade titanium
dioxide, iron oxide and vanadium products. The chemical purity of all
products is expected to be excellent.
"BBA has put together a highly qualified team of experienced
professionals," said Michael Dehn, Argex's president and chief executive
officer. "BBA's multidisciplinary mines and metals group has completed
numerous projects related to iron ore, gold and base metals in Northern
Quebec. We are confident that their involvement in the project is a
value added for our shareholders."
