The program is intended to confirm the historical Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) resource estimate for the property and to evaluate additional high-grade REE occurrences discovered by Quest crews in 2008. Preparatory work has also commenced to complete a diamond-drilling program over the Strange Lake deposit with the objective of undertaking a 43-101 Preliminary Resource Estimate of known mineralization. In addition, diamond drilling of new REE prospects at Strange Lake and on the Corporation's Misery Lake property, 120 km to the south, will be completed during the program. The program is well-financed, with the Corporation having recently completed a $1.5-million equity financing and a $600,000 flow-through share private placement.
