Adex Mining Inc. is a Toronto, Canada-based mining exploration company engaged in the development of its wholly owned Mount Pleasant Mine property in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada. According to a Government of Canada report, Mount Pleasant is “North America’s largest tin deposit and the world’s largest reserve of indium.”〔Wright, Phillip. “Mineral and Metal Commodity Review: Tin.” Natural Resources Canada, 1996.〕 The company’s stock trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ADE. Adex holds 102 mineral claims at Mount Pleasant covering approximately 1,600 hectares (4,000 acres), as well as 405 hectares (1,000 acres) of surface rights.〔(Adex Mining Inc. - Company Profile | Natural Resources & Emerging Mining Company ) 〕 Mount Pleasant’s Fire Tower Zone contains tungsten-molybdenum mineralization, and is the site of a past-producing tungsten mine operated by BHP Billiton from 1983 to 1985.〔Truscott, Brian. “Adex in Redux Mode.” Dow Jones Newswires, reprinted in the National Post, November 21, 2007.〕 The property’s North Zone is the focus of tin, indium and zinc exploration. == Tin-Indium-Zinc at North Zone == Successive historical exploration drilling programs by previous owners of Mount Pleasant began the process of defining the property’s tin and indium mineralization centred on the North and Deep Tin zones. Adex acquired Mount Pleasant in 1995 and began conducting exploration and metallurgical tests on the tin-indium areas.〔Gowan, Derwin. “Mining company clears regulatory hurdle: Adex Mining moves ahead with Mount Pleasant mine. Telegraph-Journal (New Brunswick), December 4th, 2007.〕 In 1997, the property was placed in care and maintenance due to poor economic conditions in the mining industry. The tin-indium-zinc North Zone contains a National Instrument 43-101-compliant resource estimate of 10,882,000 tonnes in the “indicated” category at 0.43% tin, 67.8 grams per tonne indium, and 0.67% zinc, as well as 7,603,000 tonnes in the "inferred" category at 0.22% tin, 74.6 grams per tonne indium and 0.99% zinc.〔Dunbar, Paul, et al. “An Updated Technical Review of the Mount Pleasant Property, Including a Mineral Resource Estimate on the North Zone Southwestern New Brunswick for Adex Mining Inc.” Watt, Griffis and McOuat Ltd., April 13, 2012.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adex Mining」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
