This coincident geophysical anomaly extends from 7400 West to 8800 West (1400 meters). ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hole No Inclination Location Interval Length Cu Ni (m) (m) ( % ) ( % ) ----------------------------------------------------------------- FL02-119 -76.5 degrees L76-00W, 5 - 55N 1029.08- 1030.68 1.60 0.59 1.84 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1068.68- 1080.06 11.38 1.86 0.86 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Including 068.68- 1075.05 6.37 2.07 0.94 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Including 1075.65- 1080.06 4.41 1.78 0.86 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Including 1078.65- 1080.06 1.41 2.40 1.27 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hole No Inclination Location Interval Co Pd Pt (m) ( % ) g/t g/t ----------------------------------------------------------------- FL02-119 -76.5 degrees L76-00W, 5 - 55N 1029.08- 1030.68 0.206 3.73 0.11 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1068.68- 1080.06 0.102 2.45 0.27 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Including 068.68- 1075.05 0.110 2.48 0.16 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Including 1075.65- 1080.06 0.102 2.72 0.45 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Including 1078.65- 1080.06 0.148 4.29 1.23 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Drill hole 02-112 passed underneath the coincident anomalies due to either a dip change or faulting. Hole 02-112 is characterized by disseminated and stringer mineralization over an interval of 226 meters. Drill hole 02-119 drilled updip 300 meters from 02-112 intersected the lower edge of the magnetic high, and is characterized by two mineralized horizons (see table) An 11.38 meter section of massive sulphide graded 1.86% Copper, 0.86% Nickel, 2.45 grams/tonne Palladium and 0.27 grams/tonne Platinum and 0.102% Cobalt. Over 30 meters above the massive sulphide intercept a 15 meter interval of stringer and minor massive sulphide was encountered which yielded a section of 1.6 meters grading 0.59% Copper, 1.84 % Nickel, 3.73 grams/tonne Palladium and 0.11 grams/tonne Platinum and 0.206 % Cobalt. Of interest, at the base of the 11. 3 meters of massive sulphide an intersection of 1.41 meters exists grading 2.4% Copper, 1.27% Nickel, 4.29 grams/tonne Palladium and 1.23 grams/tonne Platinum and 0.148% Cobalt. Currently 02-132 is drilling 120 meters updip of 02-119. A second drill rig has been mobilized to line 80 +00W, a further 400 meter step out to aid in the evaluation of this important development.
