Mineralization Comments

Mar 13, 2008 (Mark Puumala) - Boleantu (1961) reported two occurrence-grade nickel assays of 0.16% and 0.18% Ni in grab samples collected from peridotite sills on a Rio Tinto Canadian Exploration claim group in the western Forester Lake area. The exact locations of these samples are unknown (i.e., due to quality of map in assessment file). Therefore the occurrence is centred upon this former claim group.
