Optical Calcite
NMG is pleased to announce the discovery and acquisition of another new
special material: Optical Calcite. The original claim was not found by
NMG explorers. NMG explorers are working with the original mine owner
to secure and develop a successful path to production, and exclusivity
options. Although material is easily mined on location, the transport
of material outside of the mine poses to be the real challenge. There
are no access roads, and material is currently hand carried by
knapsack, or on head, for 48 hours up and down treacherous mountain
terrain. 60% of material carried out is lost along the way. NMG
explorers have secured 40km2 around the original claim, and have
verified material in NMG claimed areas.? It will take at least 1 year
to finalize the size of the claim. Theft of material is another big
concern, which led the original owner to partner up with NMG to help
secure the area. NMG will be showing the material this coming January
at the 2009 Madagascar Mineral's Gem Show, in Tucson AZ.
