ROCHER DEBOULE Minerals Corp. (TSX.V: RD) is a mineral resources company actively engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper and molybdenum properties principally in British Columbia. Originally incorporated as Ameridex Minerals Corp., since changing its name in September 2006 Rocher Deboule has developed into a multi mineral resources company, expanding from its namesake Rocher Deboule property in British Columbia with the addition of Manganese properties in Arizona and British Columbia as well as 2 Niobium properties in B.C.
IOCG (Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold) mineralization has become a focus of attention in mineral commodities since the discovery and development of enormous IOCG resources such as Olympic Dam (Australia), Candelaria (Chile) and Kiruna (Finland). The IOCG Target on the Rocher Deboule Property brings tremendous market potential into the company's portfolio of mineral resource holdings, and exploration is underway to confirm and define the scope of the IOCG resource.
Manganese is a commodity in demand, with the price per ton having seen a rise from $1,225 to over $4,000 since 2006 year-end. Rocher Deboule is poised to capitalize on the potential of this market with the acquisition on June 2007 0f the Artillery Peak Manganese Properties in Arizona, and the addition of the 3 Manganese properties (Black Prince/ Junction Creeek/ Olson) in B.C.
