The Anita project in Lac Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada is a niobium and tantalum mining project. The project is currently in the metallurgy testing stage as MSloane Consulting continues to provide used mining equipment for sale to mining projects worldwide. The potential to operate the mine as an open pit mine for 18 years is also being assessed. Preliminary ore flow sheet designs for the open pit, flotation plant, lixiviation processes and other mining infrastructure have been completed.
The mine contains approximately 25.75mt of indicated reserves to a depth of 250m. An additional 16.88mt of inferred resources are estimated between 250m and 350m. The reserves stated at an assumed cut-off grade of 1,000g/t Nb.
