The Nemegosenda Project
The Patented Property
The Nemegosenda Property (the “Property”) hosts a disseminated-type niobium deposit of approximately 3,478 hectares on the Chewett-Collins township boundary, 30km northeast of Chapleau, Ontario. This includes 750 hectares of patented claims (e.g. established before the 1985 Patent Act).​
Several advanced exploration programs have occurred, including Dominion Gulf Company, an exploration arm of Gulf Oil as well as a 500 meter adit directly into the targeted D Zone and a 1000 ton pilot plant completed by SGS in Colorado in the 1960s.
Mineral Estimates & Ongoing Exploration
Dates of significant research programs and exploration drilling, metallurgy and processing have occurred during the periods of 1956, 1988, 1999, 2009, 2014, and 2024.
At various points of exploration, insight into the viability of mining and on-site processing has been investigated at great length. Reports on the property have been completed by Colorado School of Mines Research Foundation Inc. in 1961, by Dominion Gulf in 1988, SGS in 2009, as well as further research efforts from several other companies to delineate the resource.
An additional zone of of interest, the CML Zone, is essentially unexplored due to thicker glacial sediment cover. As a preliminary investigation, NioShield has recently performed an MMI orientation soil survey over the target with assay results. In addition, four other geophysical anomalies, similar to those that host known mineralized zones have been identified for preliminary drill testing in 2025.

The Nemegosenda Complex is an uncommonly large carbonatite intrusion isolated within an igneous province of gabbroic anorthosite. The containment of this magmatic intrusion is reflected by the large scale, indications of significant high pressure somatization and brecciation, as well as the extensive fenitization zone. These near-surface niobium-hosted zones offer several additional unique targets easily accessible on-site for further exploration.
