The Bloom Lake Iron Ore Project
The Bloom Lake Iron Ore Deposit is a 640 million tonne ore body grading approximately 30% Fe. Bloom Lake is a world class development stage iron ore project, with a high recovery and 34 year mine life based on a Feasibility Study completed in April 2007. Bloom Lake is expected to be producing 7 million tonnes of 66.5% iron ore concentrate per year starting mid-2009. The Bloom Lake deposit sits in a unique location, with ready infrastructure: close proximity to rail, power, road, port, housing for employees, etc. due to it being located in the heart of an existing iron ore camp which currently produces 36.5 million tonnes per year. Consolidated Thompson has secured an off-take agreement of 7 million tonnes per year for a minimum of 7 years, and has received approval to operate the mine.
 
April 2007 Feasibility Study
In April 2007 Consolidated Thompson released its feasibility study with a 7 Million Tonnes / Year of Iron Ore Concentrate Scenaio, which was conducted by BBA Engineering, Montreal.
Bloom Lake: Corporate Presentation
The Bloom Lake Iron Ore Property, is located in Normanville Township, Duplessis County, Province of Quebec, on the south end of the Labrador Trough, approximately 400 km north of Sept-Iles.

 

Peppler Lake & Lamalee Iron Ore Deposits, QUEBEC
The 5,434-acre Peppler Lake iron property 100% owned by Consolidated Thompson was acquired via Consolidated Thompson’s friendly acquisition of Quinto Mining Corp., which was
completed in June 2008.  A scoping study by Bumigeme Engineering in spring 2006 indicated 250,000,000 tonnes grading 28.2% Fe with an NPV of $630,000,000. Quinto subsequently
staked surrounding strategic claims (known as the satellite properties), with the intention of substantially increasing the resource. In summer 2006, Quinto embarked on a
two-phase confirmation drilling program to confirm the tonnage outlined in the Bumigeme study. An updated resource estimate for Peppler Lake shows an indicated resource of 302
million tones grading 28.4% Fe, with 17 additional holes expected to increase tonnage.
 
The Lamalee Iron Ore Deposit is located approximately 10km north of Peppler Lake. The Lamalee deposit has shown intersections of 250 -350 m grading 30%+ Fe starting 3m from
surface. There have been 27 holes already drilled. The tonnage at Lamalee could exceed that at Peppler Lake.
Peppler Lake and Lamalee are located in the immediate vicinity of the Bloom Lake Project as well as several iron ore producers, thus the potential to add to the resource is
likely. They also lie within 13 km of a railway linking the Mount Wright iron ore mine to the year-round deep sea port at Port Cartier. The railway runs parallel to
Hydro-Quebec's Hart Jaune/Mount Wright high tension power transmission line.
 
 
 
 
Mont Gueret North Graphite Project, QUEBEC
This world-class Cg (graphite) property covering 5,500 acres is 100% owned by Consolidated Thompson. It is located in the Cote-Nord region of northeastern Quebec extending south from the southwestern shore of Reservoir Manicouagan. Lac Gueret's surface mining property is in an excellent location within close proximity to existing infrastructure including hydro, roads, rail and deep sea ports.
The project was acquired by Consolidated Thompson via its acquisition of Quinto Mining Corp. completed in June 2008. Following a successful exploration program in 2003 the project was joint-ventured with SOQUEM, the mining arm of the Quebec Government. SOQUEM's 50% interest was later reacquired, with repayment over a four-year period.
There has been approximately $3 million spent on exploration at Lac Gueret. This work has produced assays in excess of 15% Cg and up to 40% Cg. The average grade of existing mines worldwide does not exceed 10%. Consolidated Thompson is presently awaiting an NI 43-101 report and resource calculation. The report is based on the 2006 summer program. Metallurgy testing is underway as well as a preliminary marketing program. A feasibility study to be completed is the current focus of the project.
