PDAC 2014 Ferrobamba was present at this year’s PDAC mining convention with a booth and drill core from the Aymaraes Project. Ferrobamba received praise for its very succesful initial drilling campaign. Visitors were able to learn details of the conceptual study for developing a mining operation.

Agreement Signed with Tenova Ferrobamba has signed a cooperation agreement with Tenova to develop its iron ore mine in the Aymaraes region of Peru.

Toward Pre-feasibility

Ferrobamba is motivated by the initial positive technical and financial results of the Conceptual Study to advance the Project through the next stages of work towards a Pre-feasibility study. To support this decision, WGM and BBA, in consultation with Ferrobamba, have developed a program and budget to advance the Project. This schedule anticipates completion of a Pre-feasibility Study during the next 18 to 24 months for a total estimated cost of approximately US $16 million, including exploration drilling.

After the additional definition-drilling program is carried out, a new NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate will be completed. Additional metallurgical testwork, environmental and social impact studies and transportation and marketing options will also form part of this study.
