The Restigouche massive sulfide deposit is located in the northwrestern part of the Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC), 60 km west of the city of Bathurst, northern New Brunswick. The property is currently controlled by Blue Note Mining and the company reports show that the deposit has an estimated reserve of 1.3 Mt grading 6.53% Zn, 5.05% Pb, and 99.6g/t Ag as of 2007 (Art Hamilton, pers. communication). 

Compositional mass change calculations confirmed that both the hanging wall and footwall volcanic rocks that host the
