Arimetco, Breakwater settle accounts

The recent settlement of all amounts owed to Arimetco International (TSE) by Breakwater Resources (TSE) will result in the cancellation of receivables totaling about $5 million.

In return for canceling the obligations, Arimetco will receive all of Breakwater’s 70% interest in the Estrades mine in Quebec and a 100% interest in Barbados-based Trans-Oceanic Trading. As well, Breakwater will be responsible for resolving all debt issues with Westpac Bank pertaining to East West Caribou.

Breakwater retains a 2% net smelter return on the first 450,000 tonnes of production from Estrades, increasing to 3% thereafter.

Estrades contains proven reserves of about 450,000 tonnes grading 11.8% zinc, 0.8% copper and 6.8 grams gold per tonne.

The mine, 30% owned by Brookline Minerals (VSE), originally went into production in July, 1990, at 700 tonnes per day. Ore was custom-milled in the Abitibi area.

However, a shutdown occurred in June, 1991.
