OTHER PROSPECTS:

DURETTE ZONE:

Durette is located 40 kilometres to the northeast of the Ridge Lake prospect. The prospect is underlain by a structurally complex sequence of psammites and pelites with lesser amphibolite, quartzite, iron formation, calc-silicates and thin massive sulphide horizons complexly folded about a broad synform axis which trends south-easterly.

An intense plumbing system was mapped carrying high-grade gold in a quartz + arsenopyrite stockwork system hosted by a highly silicified iron formation unit cut at depth by zones of quartz veining, silicification and variable amounts of pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite.

Limited drilling in 2006 intersected up to 17 metres of the iron formation with some narrow gold intervals. Grab samples from surface outcrops garde up to 59g/t gold and channel samples up to 29.8g/t gold over 2 metres identified a minimum 450 metre strike length target.

Six holes over a 465 metre strike length and a maximum depth of 278 metres have been drilled on the prospect. This is the first ever drill test of this target.

The silicified iron formation unit occurs stratigraphically above the iron formation horizons which host gold at Ridge Lake and it represents a third stratigraphic gold target on the property.

Peninsula to Qim5:

The Peninsula Prospect area extends eastward from the mineralized trend at Ridge Lake. Iron formation was mapped on several small islands and along a six kilometre long peninsula jutting into Ridges Lake. The iron formation is not well exposed as most occurs at the lake edge so it was not possible to get complete sample coverage in 2004. Grab samples assayed up to 8.46 g/t gold. Multiple (up to four) stacked horizons of iron formation were mapped and require detailed ground magnetic surveying to provide more structural detail.

The iron formation was mapped eastward from the Peninsula Prospect for a strike length of approximately 30 kilometres. Only preliminary prospecting was completed in this area of poorly exposed iron formation named Qim 4 and 5. High-grade gold results were received from several locations. The best results were from a 0.8 metre channel sample which assayed 42.91 g/t gold and a 0.40 metre channel sample assaying 103.1 g/t gold. An additional 20 samples from this area assayed >1 g/t gold up to 9.04 g/t gold.

FOX 2 Nickel-Cobalt:

In addition to the gold mineralization, a grab sample of sulphide bearing amphibolite/basalt assayed up to 1.27% nickel, 0.89% copper, 0.40% cobalt and 8.56 g/t silver. This showing was discovered at the end of the 2004 field season on the Margot-Tuktu block on the western end of the Bravo Lake property.
