Snowbird Project (Nickel, Copper, Gold)

       • Project area 214 km²
       • In 2005, BHP Billiton identified high grade zinc, copper, lead,silver and gold mineralisation in the Snowbird Project area.

       • Located within the Snowbird Tectonic Zone, North West Territories, Canada. This zone hosts several world class nickel,
         copper, platinum and gold deposits (in which the Company does not hold an interest), including Ferguson Lake, Nickel
         King, Meliadine and Meadowbank.
       • Drilling programme (12 holes) and imaging survey programmes planned to test for (i) nickel and copper deposits at KB-1
          and KB-4, and (ii) gold deposits at Wendy targets.

The Snowbird Project consists of two blocks of claims (Kasba and Wendy) comprising 214 km² within the Snowbird Tectonic Zone, located 625 km northwest of the city of Thompson, Manitoba, Canada.  Known nickel and gold deposits such as Nickel King (Ni), Ferguson Lake (Ni-Cu), and Meadowbank (Au) occur within or near the Snowbird Tectonic Zone, interpreted to be a suture between two Archaean crustal blocks, Rae and Hearne, which form part of the Churchill craton.

The primary exploration targets are magmatic nickel-copper ± platinum group element (PGE) sulphide deposits and shear-zone-hosted gold deposits.  The geology of the project area is folded and contorted amphibolite to granulite- grade Archaean gneisses, granitoids and minor amphibolites. Gabbros and rare ultramafic bodies of unknown age intrude the Archaean rocks.

Mid Continent Project (Nickel)

       • Project area of 17.8 km², located approximately 150 km west of Minneapolis – St Paul, USA
       • High quality nickel sulphide targets identified by BHP Billiton and WMC Resources Ltd with modern technology in their
         2005 and 2006 nickel exploration programmes
       • Located within the “Superior Craton”. This craton hosts world class nickel sulphide discoveries including Eagle, Lakeview,
         Thompson, Raglan, Duluth and Sudbury
       • Core drilling programme planned to test for magmatic sulphide (nickel) in the Cottonwood target and to test the bedrock
         conductor at the Renville West target.

The Mid-Continent Project is located in south western Minnesota, USA, and consists of two target areas, Cottonwood and Renville West, totalling 17.8 km², which are held by exploration agreements (in respect of 29 tenements) and mining leases (in respect of two tenements) with 31 private mineral and surface owners.
