McFauld's Lake Project

Jeremy Niemi, Vice President, Geology for Noront Resources is the qualified person who prepared or supervised the preparation of the scientific and technical information disclosed herein.

Project Summary

In August 2007, Noront Resources discovered high-grade nickel-copper-platinum-palladium. The discovery, dubbed Eagle One, led to an unprecedented staking rush surrounding a geological structure that became known as the Ring of Fire in the James Bay Lowlands, Ontario.

Ring Of Fire Location Map

Noront now controls 100% of approximately 48,600 hectares (120,000 acres) and has joint ventures comprising another 68,000 hectares (168,000 acres).

Since the discovery of Eagle One, Noront has had tremendous exploration success in the Ring of Fire. In under a year, Noront has completed an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate at Eagle One, discovered the Eagle Two nickel-copper deposit, and made two high-grade chromite discoveries known as Blackbird One and Blackbird Two.

While Noront remains focused on further exploration of these discoveries, resources will also be deployed to a number of nickel-copper and chromite targets that remain unexplored at this time.
