Systematic assays will be taken for nickel, copper and PGE; the samples will be sent and processed at Actlabs in Geraldton, Ontario. Results are expected to be received by the end of the summer.The McFaulds East Rim property was staked in 2008 covering a major gravity high, as shown in regional data (Ontario Geological Survey, 1999, Geophysical Data Sets 1035 and 1036).  The regional gravity was further confirmed during the spring of 2011 using Fugro Airborne Surveys Airborne Gradient Gravity (AGG) survey.  The survey was flown with a 200 metre line spacing hence improving the resolution of the anomaly.  The gravity high is interpreted to be a mafic or ultramafic intrusion.  The interpreted intrusion is proximal to known nickel-copper sulphide mineralization in ultramafic rocks at Noront Resources Inc. Eagle Nest discovery.  Mafic/ultramafic intrusions on the property, if present, would thus be expected to have significant potential to host magmatic nickel-copper sulphide mineralizationDuring April 2008, a 1738 line kilometre MEGATEM magnetic and electromagnetic survey was flown by Fugro Airborne Surveys.  The survey delineated five areas which were then followed up by detailed VTEM airborne electrical and magnetic surveys in September 2008.  12 targets were interpreted and prioritized.  Priority 1 targets were indicated by a magnetic association and limited strike length electrical conductivity response.  Priority 2 targets were indicated by either a longer strike length electrical response, with possible formational and/or no magnetic assoc...
