Aug 26, 2009 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling by Mining Corporation intersected peridotite. A diamond drill hole completed by Canex Aerial approximately 250 m northeast of Mining Corporation's drill hole, intersected serpentinized peridotite. This occurrence consists of asbestos and nickeliferous sulphides in a crescent shaped mafic to ultramafic intrusion in undifferentiated mafic volcanics. The intrusion is mostly sepentinized peridotite. The crescent shape of the intrusion is apparently due to folding.

Aug 26, 2009 (A Wilson) - Assays from Mining Corporations DDH 2 ranged from 0.20% Ni over 5 feet to 0.41% Ni over 10 feet. Asbestos fibres were reported to depths of approximately 425 feet in drill core. The asbestos ranges in width from 1/16 inch to ¼ inch. Assays from diamond drilling completed by SEDEX Mining returned assays up to 6073 ppm Ni, 2912 ppm Cu and 204 ppb Pt from drill hole SDS-08-01
