RIU Explorers presentation summary
5 Jun, 2026Project portfolio and resource highlights
Focus on high-grade copper-gold at Chibougamau in Quebec, with M&I resources of 3.6Mt at 3.0% CuEq and inferred resources of 7.2Mt at 3.8% CuEq, among the highest on the ASX.
Pontax Central lithium project hosts an inferred resource of 10.1Mt at 1.04% Li₂O, with additional spodumene discoveries in James Bay.
Chibougamau district has produced 945,000t copper and 3.5Moz gold historically, with 16 historic mines over 18km of strike.
Corner Bay is the flagship asset, with indicated resources of 2.7Mt at 2.9% CuEq and inferred resources of 5.9Mt at 3.6% CuEq.
Significant exploration potential remains, with all deposits open at depth and near-surface opportunities identified.
Infrastructure and development
Existing 900ktpa processing facility, tailings storage, and site infrastructure valued at over C$150M, reducing restart capital intensity.
Regional infrastructure includes airport, railway, highways, and hydro power, with the site located 10km from Chibougamau town.
Only base metals processing infrastructure within 250km, providing strategic advantage for regional consolidation.
Positive flotation tests at Corner Bay show copper recoveries of 98.2% and 96.8%, with concentrate grades of 27.0% and 29.6%.
C$1.3M funding approved from Canada's Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund to advance pre-construction milestones.
Exploration and growth strategy
Two drill rigs on site targeting resource extensions and brownfield exploration, supported by modern geophysics.
Data compilation underway, with only 5% of historic data digitized and over 100,000 scanned images.
Near-surface and depth extension drilling prioritized, with significant high-grade intersections outside current resources.
Multi-pronged growth pathway includes resource drilling, brownfield exploration, and advancing development studies.
High news flow expected through 2025–2026 as exploration and development progress.
