About Valterra

Valterra is a Manex Resource Group Company whose primary focus is the Bobcaygeon Graphite Project in southern Ontario, where drilling is in progress. The project area covers over 150 sq kms and is located near roads, power, and skilled labour force. Geologically the property package is favourably situated on the border of the Precambrian Grenville Province and the Paleozoic Lowlands forming a prospective locale for potential graphitic deposits.

Graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon with wide-ranging and unique physical properties. Graphene is derived from graphite and is one of the strongest known substances with a tensile strength 200 times the strength of steel. The industrial development of graphene is at an early stage but is expected to become a key component of integrated circuits and transparent conducting electrodes, required for such applications as touchscreens, liquid crystal displays, organic photovoltaic cells and organic light-emitting diodes. Recent pricing and demand increases have accelerated numerous exploration and investment opportunities in the graphite market.

Ontario in particular offers superior geology, geoscience knowledge, infrastructure, political stability and tax incentives. Projects similarly advancing along the Grenville geological province, which hosts most of the known significant graphite deposits in Canada, include Northern Graphite Corporation, Zenyatta Ventures Inc. and Ontario Graphite Ltd.
