ABOUT RAMBLER METALS AND MINING
Rambler is a mining and development Company that in 2012 brought its first mine into commercial production. The group has a 100% ownership in the Ming Copper-Gold Mine, a fully operational copper and gold processing mill and year round bulk storage and shipping facility all located on the Baie Verte peninsula, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Our Company Vision is to be Atlantic Canada's leading mine operator and resource developer through the expansion of the Ming Mine, discovering new deposits and through mergers and acquisitions. Rambler listed on the London AIM in 2005 and Toronto TSX-V in 2007.
ABOUT Maritime Resources Corp.
Maritime Resources holds a 100% interest in the Green Bay property group which hosts the past producing Hammerdown gold mine, the Orion gold deposit, separated by a 1.5 km distance, and the Lochinvar base / precious metals deposit.
Hammerdown itself was successfully mined by Richmont Mines between 2000 and 2004 with gold prices averaging $325 US per ounce. During its operation a total of 291,400 tonnes of ore were mined and milled, at an average head grade of 15.83 g/t gold, recovering a total of 143,000 ounces during its life. All ore was processed at the Nugget Pond mill, now owned and operated by Rambler Metals and Mining, with an average gold recovery of 97.1%. Mining concluded in 2004 due to low gold prices with mineralization remaining, although uneconomic at that time. The Orion gold deposit consists of two main vein systems, both of which are open along strike, up and down plunge.
