Chibougamau has a resource of 10.8 million tonnes at 3.5 percent copper equivalent, while the James Bay-based Pontax project has a resource of 10.1 million tonnes at 1.04 percent lithium oxide.<\/p>\n<p>The Chibougamau project has the only processing facility within a 250 kilometre radius. The plan is to implement a \u201chub-and-spoke\u201d strategy where this facility will be used to process material from various nearby deposits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Dor\u00e9 team is delighted at the thought of working with the Cygnus team to create a critical metals company and to maximise the value of what we know is an outstanding asset at Chibougamau,\u201d said Dor\u00e9 President and CEO Ernest Mast. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis merger will provide the funding, additional expertise and the strategy to hopefully generate superior shareholder returns through brownfields exploration at Chibougamau,\u2019 he added. <\/p>\n<p>Cygnus said it intends to raise AU$11 million through a placement with two tranches. It will use the funds for resource and production advancement at Chibougamau, and development of the lithium exploration pipeline at James Bay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe intend to devise and implement an aggressive exploration programme, utilising highly experienced geologists and the latest technology, with the aim of driving strong resource growth at a time when the world desperately wants more copper from tier-one locations,\u201d explained Cygnus Executive Chair David Southam. <\/p>\n<p>The transaction is expected to close at the end of December. It is subject to various conditions, including the receipt of conditional approval from the TSXV for the listing of Cygnus\u2019 shares. Once complete, Cygnus shareholders will own 55 percent of the merged group, while Dor\u00e9 shareholders will hold 45 percent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Securities Disclosure: I, Gabrielle de la Cruz, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>This post appeared first on investingnews.com<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cygnus Metals (ASX:CY5) announced plans to merge with Dor\u00e9 Copper Mining (TSXV:DCMC,OTCQB:DRCMF), saying it will acquire 100 percent of Dor\u00e9\u2019s issued and outstanding common shares via a definitive arrangement.
