that the first mineral-
bearing indications in the Chibougamau
area were observed in 1870?
Did you know
that CBay has the most
prominent position in the Chibougamau
mining camp?
Did you know
that Chibougamau qualifies
for Plan Nord, launched in the spring of
2011 as the Quebec government’s plan for
development of territory north of the 49th
parallel, involving $80-billion in public and
private investment over the next 25 years?

“The CBay assets are a unique mix of
exploration, development and production projects
that require a similarly unique skill set to realize
their value,” said Mr. Galipeau. “With a career
that encompasses exploration, development,
production, M&A and project finance, Roland is
the ideal person to structure and finance these
mining and exploration projects within a new
public company and take them forward to benefit
all stakeholders.”
CBay’s land position covers 96,000 acres,
making it a dominant player in the Chibougamau
mining camp. Chibougamau is located about
500km north of Montreal. Copper and gold
production in the camp dates back to the early
1900s. The following table summarizes the past

CBay’s objectives are to:
• Put three mines back into production by 2016;
• Develop sufficient resources to feed, partially
or fully, the 3,000 TPD mill, possibly including
custom milling;
• Embark on exploration programs to evaluate
the camp’s full potential, and;
• Create employment and growth in the
Chibougamau mining camp.
The most advanced project is the Corner
Bay copper deposit located approximately 20
kilometres from CBay’s Copper Rand mill.
Development of the high-grade Corner Bay
copper deposit began in 2007 for extraction of a
50,000 tonne bulk sample. Development ceased in
2008 due to the previous operator’s deteriorating
financial situation as a result of the worldwide
financial crisis and a significant drop in the price
of copper. A National Instrument 43-101-compliant
estimate of resources at Corner Bay, dated July 12,
2006, is available under the Campbell Resources
Inc. profile at www.sedar.com.
Corner Bay will likely be the first asset
developed for production, at a rate of about 500
TPD-650 TPD. Ideally copper production would
begin next year. Subsequently, the goal is to get
two additional mines up and running and operating
the mill at a rate in the neighbourhood of
2,500TPD-3,000TPD during 2016.
“CBay has a suite of assets that provide a
tremendous base to create a new, revitalized
copper/gold producer,” said Mr. Horst. “As the
value of these assets gets uncovered and becomes
recognized by the market this should be reflected
in the value of Nuinsco shares.”
The Lac Doré Complex has
produced 47.6 million tons
of ore containing 1.6 billion
pounds of copper and 3.2
million ounces of gold.
