CIM LUNCHEON & GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING Tuesday, February 9, 2010 The Davedi Club 313 Airport Road, North Bay Doors open at 11:30 a.m. Lunch & Meeting at Noon
Guest Speaker: Paul Semple, Noront Resources His Topic: The Ring of Fire
In August 2007, Noront Resources discovered high-grade nickel-copper-platinumpalladium. 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.
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.
