On December 12, 2008, the Corporation announced the discontinuation of all mining operations at its Copper Rand mine. The decision to terminate operations at the Copper Rand mine was originally announced on September 9, 2008. Campbell also suspended its bulk sample exploration program at the Corner Bay property in October 2008 because of extreme difficulties in securing financing in the current marketplace and the decline in copper prices.
As a result of current economic circumstances, the Corporation's board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of its shareholders, employees and creditors to seek protection pursuant to the CCAA. The Corporation's board of directors is now composed of four members: MMssrs. Louis Archambault, Alain Blais, André Y. Fortier and Réal Savoie.
