Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - The mineralization is hosted in a differentiated mafic intrusion. Based upon the airborne magnetic survey this intrusion measures 3 to 4km long and about 1km wide. The reported lithologies include peridotite, gabbro, and 'granite' with abundant mafic minerals including magnetite. (OFR 5912).

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - The description reported for the mineralization indicates that minor millerite occurs in aggregates and along joint planes. (OFR 5912) Hole was drilled to depth of 502ft, dipping 50 deg southeast, intersecting mineralized peridotite at 326.3ft. Results of nickel assays for this section: 0.2% / 4.4ft and 0.18% / 3.3ft (from 386.9 - 394.6ft); 0.13% / 6.5ft (419.3 - 425.8ft). (AF T-490).
