1969: First zone of mineralization discovered by A. Glatz in the fall of 1969. 1970: A second zone was found in the spring of 1970. Property was optioned by Lynx-Canada Explorations Ltd. and subsequently carried out magnetic surveys on the property. (Kenora Property Visit File, F10SE00053, Glatz-Kozowy) 1977: Beth-Canada Mining Co. did an orientation survey over the known mineralized zones. This survey work consisted of chip sampling of the trenches and a soil sampling program. 1987: St.Joe Canada carried out a magnetometer survey and concluded the survey was useful in the geological interpretation of the survey. An Induced Polarization Survey was recommended to detect concentrations of disseminated sulphides prior to diamond drilling. 1992: In September, Bernard Barton (prospector) sampled and sketched the Korway Glatz Occurrence (Prig Showing). Chips from the pits and the trenches returned 0.8% nickel and 0.4% copper. 2008: An exploration program consisting of airborne VTEM-MAG, geological mapping, prospecting, and ground geophysics, were completed by Canadian Arrow Mines Ltd., on the Prig Property. The work was designed as a preliminary evaluation of the property prior to a diamond drill program. (Kenora AF 52F/10SE AA-6, Canadian Arrow Mines Ltd. - Prig Property)

Province: Superior
Geological Age: Precambrian
Mar 08, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The main showing occurs on the top of a north-south trending ridge and the mineralization found within a fractured and somewhat sheared gabbro and at the contact with the light grey volcanics. The contact appears to strike at 160º and dip east at about 60º. The exposed zone of mineralization is about 15' wide and about 70 feet long. The chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite within the gabbro is mainly disseminated but locally concentrated along fractures and shears. Grab samples ran as high as 2.05% Ni and 1.47% Cu. The second zone of mineralization is about 500 feet northwest of the main showing and has been exposed over a length about 20 feet and width of 10 feet. The main mineralized shear strikes at 140º and dips 65º north. The nature of the mineralization is similar to the first-mentioned showing but a contact with volcanic rocks is not evident although volcanic rocks (possibly andesite) were noted.

Mar 08, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - During the summer of 2008, thirty-six (36) grab samples were collected in four main areas. Of the 36 grab samples seven samples returned assay values greater than 0.2% combined nickel and copper. Also, copper assayed >0.1% (0.033% and 0.035%) at the East Showing. 1) East Showing: Six samples were collected over the five-meter wide, main mineralized zone. The East Showing is approximately 30m by 5m wide and trends northwest. Mineralization varies up to 15-20% combined pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. The nickel assay values range between: 0.12% Ni to 0.86% Ni. The copper assay values range between 0.16% Cu and 0.61% Cu. Grade cobalt assay values are 0.033% and 0.035%. The platinum group elements assay values range from 0.17 glt PGM to 0.47 glt PGM. 2) Pits north of East Showing: During the 2008 program, a series of pits from work reported by Bernard Barton were relocated 100m northwest of the East Showing. Three samples were collected in three pits and returned anomalous assay results; 0.277% Ni and 0.363 % Cu. 3) West Showing: Two small pits and one small trench were relocated 150m west of the East Showing. Six samples were collected in the old works, two samples retuned anomalous assay values; 0.615% Ni and 0.695% Cu.
