Point Location Description: centre of cluster of drill holes on fig 11 in Ni 43-101 rpt
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: The property is accessed by motor vehicle from south of the village of South Porcupine by a gravel road known as Stringers Road. This road cuts through the central western portion of the property. Approximately thirty kilometres southeast of Timmins on Stringers Road, a drill trail (all terrain vehicle/snowmobile accessible) branches off north-eastward. Approximately three kilometres along this trail, the Langmuir W4 location can be reached.

Jan 21, 2013 (A Wilson) - The east-west trending peridotite flows have good spinifex flow tops and associated thin graphitic argillite interflow units. The peridotite flows are typically black, fine-grained, soft, weak to moderately serpentinized and typically have adcumulate to mesocumulate textures. Detailed examinations of the spinifex flow top sequences and flow morphologies indicate the flows have a southward younging direction. The peridotite flows range from five to 50 metres thick and are near vertical to steeply dipping 80º to the north. The peridotite flows in the vicinity of the granodiorite are strongly brecciated and often contain graphite. Smaller felsic to intermediate, feldspar porphyry, mafic, and gabbro dykes or sills intrude the peridotite flows locally.

Jan 21, 2013 (A Wilson) - The three interpreted sub-parallel nickel mineralized zones occur within specific komatiitic peridotite flow units. They are vertical to steeply north dipping at 70 to 75 degrees. The so called ‘C zone’ is the deepest occurring zone which is locally steeply south dipping. The east-west strike extent of the zones has been defined for at least 200 metres to date. They are open below the granodiorite dyke and/or a vertical depth of 400 metres. The interpreted sub-parallel nickel mineralized zones have an average true thickness of 5.5 to seven metres. Langmuir W4 nickel zones usually comprise of a lower horizon of stringer/fracture-filling sulphides to semi-massive-massive sulphides which are stratigraphically overlain by disseminated to blebby sulphide zones. Locally massive sulphide veinlets occur mainly in the basal lower horizon.
