[url]Niobium (Columbium) deposits are documented at "James Bay Pyrochlore." Niobium Columbium is present at a grade sufficient to have a strong effect on the economics of an excavation project. It may even be viable as the only commodity mined.

A surface operation is at this site or proposed for it. Open Pit was the predominant mining method used at "James Bay Pyrochlore". Flotation was the predominant milling method used. Ore was processed in a flotation beneficiation (mill) plant.

1 Deposit THERE ARE NO EXISTING FACILITIES AT THE SITE. BEFORE OPERATIONS COULD START, AN ACCESS ROAD OF 40KM TO THE RAIL- STATION AT MOOSE RIVER WOULD HAVE TO BE CONSTRUCTED ALONG WITH A 25KV TRANSMISSION LINE OF 40KM AND TRUCK LOADING AND UNLOADING FACILITES ALSO AT THE RAIL STATION AT MOOSE RIVER.
1 Geology THE JAMES BAY PYROCHLORE COMPLEX APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF A MULTIPLE INTRUSION OF SEGREGATED PYROXENITE- CARBONATITE MAGMA INJECTED IN A SERIES OF PULSES INTO AN EXISTING FAULT ZONE. THE FIRST PULSE IS REPRESENTED BY PYROXENITE, FOLLOWED BY A SECOND, OF CALCITIC CARBONATITE, CONTAINING PHLOGOPITE, SODA AMPHIBOLE AND PYROCHLORE. THE OREBODY OCCURS AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE RIFT WITH A NORTH-SOUTH FAULT THAT MODIFIES THE STRIKE OF THE RIFT.
