| The basal layer of the intrusion has many of the classic characteristics of and appears identical to Noril'sk mineralization. The significance of this feature is that where one finds higher levels of sulphide , one would expect much higher levels of PGE, Ni and Cu mineralization. This discovery led to our winning the "Discovery of the Year Award" from the Northwestern Ontario Prospector's Association in 2002 and the initiation of a $7m government exploration program on the Nipigon plate.
In 2004 two upper layers of different PGE-Ni-Cu mineralization were detected in previously drilled core. These almost flat-lying layers stretch for 750m in an east west direction. Hole WM01-08 where the mineralized layers are 4m in thickness with two of those meters more heavily mineralized is not atypical. These two features would be amenable to trackless mining. This discovery resulted in another Discovery of the Year Award.
Recently the companies completed a series of three holes to probe for massive sulphides at depth and to confirm the extent of the mineralized layers in a north south direction.
