Corporate Strategy
Multi-Commodity Approach Focusing on Uranium, Precious & Base Metals, and Diamonds
2006 was a very successful transformation year for Majescor. In 2006, the Company implemented a new business model aimed at expanding the scope of its operations to include uranium, and gold and base metals, as well as diamonds. These commodities are all highly desired around the world and are particularly sought-after in the countries where the Company is engaged in mineral exploration.
Today, Majescor Resources is a dynamic and well funded exploration company with uranium properties in the Otish mountains, in the Ungava and in the west Nunavik regions of northern Quebec, as well as a significant uranium interest in the Thelon Basin of Nunavut, through its ownership position in Uranium World Energy.
In addition to uranium, Majescor has the largest portfolio of diamond properties in Quebec, as well as diamond projects in the Northwest Territories, in Nunavut, and in Madagascar.
Majescor has further diversified its property portfolio by recently acquiring gold and base metal properties in Quebec and in Madagascar.
Majescor Resources reduces exploration risk through the development of strategic alliances with:
- Azimut Exploration Inc.
- De Beers Exploration Canada Inc.
- Diamonds North Resources Ltd.
- Santoy Resources Ltd. / Melkior Resources Inc.
- Superior Diamonds Inc.
- Madagascar Mining and Development SARL
