East Kemptville tin mine could resume production in a few years

  • Company granted a special licence by the province in March of this year for the East Kemptville Mine formerly owned by Rio Algom.
  • If all goes as planned, the mine could resume operation within 3 to 4 years

Avalon Rare Metals Inc. plans to invest $1.3 million into preliminary work to determine the feasibility of re-starting the East Kemptville Mine.Avalon Rare Metals Inc. plans to invest $1.3 million into preliminary work to determine the feasibility of re-starting the East Kemptville Mine.

A Canadian mining company and politicians in southwest Nova Scotia are hoping an idle tin mine in the area will help the economy rebound.

Toronto-based Avalon Rare Metals Inc. was granted a special licence by the province in March of this year for the East Kemptville Mine formerly owned by Rio Algom.

Avalon plans to invest $1.3 million into preliminary work to determine the feasibility of re-starting the mine.

The site is located about 45 kilometres northeast of Yarmouth.

Rio Algom closed the mine in 1992 because of falling tin prices, but Avalon president and CEO Don Bubar says a lot has changed since then, including a recovery in the price of tin and potentially higher prices in the future.

“There’s [also] lots of new demand for tin from its new application in the use of lead-free solders and electronics,” says Bubar.

He says the mine also contains the rare metal indium which was not previously mined at the site. Mining it could make the mine even more viable.

“In the past it had limited commercial use, but now it’s got growing application in electronics, is in demand,” said Bubar.

He expects a dozen people to be employed at the remote site this summer, the majority of them Nova Scotians.

If the project moves forward, he said as many as 200 people could be employed there.

“We know that part of the province suffers from high unemployment,” he said. “There’s a good skilled labour force there that would love the opportunity to work in an operation like that close to home, so we think we can fill most of our employment needs in Nova Scotia,” said Bubar.

An economic boon for the area

All of this is music to the ears of politicians in the nearby town of Shelburne. Mayor Karen Harris-Matattall says the prospect of that many jobs is exciting in an area that has been struggling.

“Like most rural communities, we’re losing people because they need employment and it’s a struggle to get employment in rural Nova Scotia, so this may well be something that’s going to work out very well and be very positive for this community,” she said.

The mayor said the town is also hoping to convince the company to use the port of Shelburne to ship its product.

Bubar says if all goes as planned, it will be three or four years before the mine is operating.

Metals Company CEO Hopeful Tin Mine Could Once Again Make NS Tin Capital Of North America

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:24 PM on Thursday, June 18th, 2015

 

Metals Company CEO Hopeful Tin Mine Could Once Again Make NS Tin Capital Of North America.

A Toronto-based company has begun a $1.3 million work project at the site of the former East Kemptville tin mine in Yarmouth County.

And the CEO of Avalon Rare Metals tells CJLS, that if the demand and the price for tin remain stable, there could be 200 full-time jobs at the site once it’s into full production.

The work by Avalon Rare Metals Inc. involves 2,000 metres of diamond drilling, metallurgical process test work and preliminary environmental studies.

Don Bubar, President and CEO tells CJLS, that this summer’s East Kemptville Tin-Indium Project will move the company one step closer to realizing its goal of re-establishing Nova Scotia as the Tin Capital of North America.

In 1992 Rio Algom closed its tin mine in East Kemptville after demand and prices for the metal plummeted after the international cartel that controlled the product folded.

But Bubar says the whole supply and demand picture has changed since then.

Bubar tells CJLS that once the operation is in full production, he expects a similar operation as was the case in the mid-80’s.

Bubar cautions there is still a lot of work to be done before the mine is at full capacity.

Approximately twelve people will be employed at the site during this summer’s project.

Mining company testing for possible lucrative future in East Kemptville

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:13 PM on Thursday, June 18th, 2015

 

YARMOUTH – Avalon Rare Metals Inc. is proceeding with a $1.3 million work program on an East Kemptville tin-indium project. At least 12-13 positions will be created, of which Avalon expects to fill seven with locally based people.

The Rio Algom tin mine formerly operated in the area from the mid-1980s to 1992, employing 200 people in Yarmouth and Shelburne counties. It closed after tin prices dropped to levels reaching well below $3 (US) per pound. Tin is now selling for double that price.

Don Bubar, Avalon Rare Metals president and CEO, says a new mine could generate 200 jobs if findings warrant production.

The exploratory work will involve 2,000 metres of diamond drilling, metallurgical process test work and preliminary environmental studies.

The work will generate the data required to complete a preliminary economic assessment by November.

Drilling is scheduled to commence in early July and be completed in September with initial results expected in late August.

The drilling program will increase confidence in mineral resources in two zones on the property, collect fresh sample material for bench-scale metallurgical process testwork and test two exploration targets (Duck Pond and South Grid) where there are encouraging results from historical drilling.

It is anticipated that advances in process technology achieved since the 1980s will result in improved recoveries and also confirm the presence of significant indium in the zinc concentrate.

Feasibility study work is expected to begin in early 2016.

Bubar says he is delighted with the significant progress made on the East Kemptville project over the past year.

“This summer’s work program will allow us to complete a preliminary economic assessment by the end of 2015 and move us one step closer to realizing our goal of re-establishing Nova Scotia as the Tin Capital of North America,” he said.

In March 2015, Avalon was granted a new special licence by the Province of Nova Scotia covering the whole East Kemptville mine area and encompassing all the known tin deposits. The licence has a three year term expiring Jan. 31, 2018, renewable for two additional terms of one year each and requires the company to spend $5,250,000, over three years including $750,000 in the first year.

Discussions continue towards reaching an agreement to transition the property to Avalon. The parties expect to conclude an agreement later in 2015.

In addition to East Kemtpville, Avalon Rare Metals has projects underway in Separation Rapids near Kenora, Ontario and Nechalacho, Thor Lake, NWT.
