Trevali Mining Corporation
Trevali is advancing two polymetallic deposits to production in Canada and Peru -- the Halfmile and Santander projects respectively. In Canada, Trevali has the Halfmile and Stratmat polymetallic deposits near Bathurst, New Brunswick, and the Ruttan copper-zinc deposit in northern Manitoba. Mine development is underway at Halfmile with a proposed production at a rate of 2,000-tonnes-per-day anticipated to commence in Q4-2011. In Peru, the Company has the Santander zinc-lead-silver mine project and the former-producing Huampar silver mine both located in the Central Peruvian Polymetallic Belt.
At Santander, in conjunction with Glencore International A.G., development is underway with mine commissioning expected to commence in early 2012 with ramp up to full 2,000-tonnes-per-day production following immediately thereafter.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary Trevali Renewable Energy Inc., the Company is also undertaking a significant upgrade of its Tingo run-of-river hydroelectric generating facility along with transmission line upgrades and extensions to allow, in addition to supplying power to the mining operation on the property, the potential sale of surplus power into the Peruvian National Energy Grid.
