Jul 28, 2016 (R Degagne) - Mining Corporation of Canada Ltd. (now Noranda Inc.) diamond drill hole no. 9 intersected a 7 foot core length of red, jaspilitic iron formation which was classified as an iron occurrence. The iron formation is reported in the assessment file diamond drill log to be hosted by weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic grade) according to green carbonate breccia and green carbonate altered greywacke within the east striking Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone. .
