About Nichromet

Nichromet is a private Canadian company controlled by Dundee Corporation that has developed patented precious and base metal extraction processes that are environmentally friendly in that the residues of mining operations are totally void of contaminants such as sulfur and arsenic. These new processes are based on chlorination and are particularly efficient for the treatment of polymetallic ores either in the form of sulfides, oxides or arsenides. These chloride based patented processes are a substitute to cyanidation, which is commonly used in the mining industry.

Nichromet was awarded a $5 million grant by the Government of Canada through Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) for the development of an innovative patented technology that will increase efficiency in processing gold while reducing the environmental impact and the construction of a demonstration plant of $27 million. The $5 million grant was part of a $61.8 million investment by the Government of Canada to support 23 clean technology projects across Canada.

Nichromet received a grant of $700,000 from the Québec Ministère du Développement économique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation.


About Creso

The Corporation's principal mining exploration holdings are located in the Shining Tree mining camp of Northern Ontario within 100 km of the Timmins and Kirkland Lake mining camps.
