About MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd.
MacDonald Mines has steadily moved its exploration forward for 10 years in James Bay's Ring of Fire. The company, under the direction of Hadyn Butler, P.Geo, located and staked what has proven to be highly prospective ground for potential discovery.
This area of James Bay presents a unique opportunity in that the Ring of Fire contains the entire suite of minerals including VMS, nickel, chrome, vanadium, titanium and gold potential. The only other similar region is in the Bushveld in South Africa but this region lacks the copper, zinc and nickel content of James Bay.
MacDonald's exploration team is led by Quentin Yarie, P.Geo and Craig Scherba, P.Geo and supported by key renowned consultants in their respective fields. They include, Jim Franklin, PHD, P.Geo, for VMS, and Larry Hulbert, PHD, P.Geo, for nickel, chrome and vanadium.
