About Rambler Rambler was founded in 2004 when Altius Minerals Corporation ("Altius"), a Newfoundland and Labrador resource company, contributed to Rambler's asset base with an option to acquire and develop the Ming Mine.

Following the acquisition of the Ming Mine, Rambler, listed on London AIM in 2005 and Toronto TSX-V in 2007. The Ming property had been a former underground copper and gold producing mine that ceased production when the deposit reached a then third party property boundary.

This neighbouring property was subsequently consolidated before being brought into Rambler�s portfolio.

Rambler now owns a 100% interest in the property. The area where the mine is located is a former mining centre and subsequently good existing infrastructure including roads, fresh water, hydro, access to a working port while the town of Baie Verte, population 1,300 is located 17km away. Over the last several years Rambler has been exploring on the property leading to the publication of two NI431-101 resource statements, the discovery of mineralized lenses and the extension of pre-existing mineralized lenses.

Today all mineralized lenses remain open in multiple directions while, importantly, the deposit has not been cut-off at depth. The underground workings have been dewatered and services including air, water and electrical re-installed. In October 2009, Rambler purchased an operational gold hydrometallurgical mill, Nugget Pond, which is situated approximately 40km from the Ming Mine. Rambler intends to expand the mill so that is capable of handling massive sulphides from the mine to produce a copper concentrate with gold and silver as by-products as well as recover any free gold. Rambler is about to embark on the construction phase of the project with the intention of bringing the Ming Mine into production in 2011.
