(TSXV-GIT) is pleased to provide the following update:\nFurther to its news release of July 7, 2010 the Company has staked additional property in north-eastern Quebec, increasing the size of the Blue Ice option to 975 hectares. The property is located 100 km northeast of Sept-Îles, accessible by rail and four-wheel drive bush roads. There has been little exploration on the property, however a major forest fire four years ago has resulted in both easier access and new exposures of bedrock, including an interesting gemstone discovery.\nThe Blue Ice Property covers new occurrences of pegmatite that intrude gabbro and norite. One of the pegmatite dykes contained a large gem-quality crystal of aquamarine, a form of beryl. This is a new discovery of beryllium and opens the possibility for additional metals of interest to be present including lithium and rare earth elements that are often associated with beryl. Rare earth minerals are present in outcrop at several locations on the property as well as in the discovery area, now a small pit that was dug to extract the original gem. The original discovery is in a vertical dyke that is up to 7 metres wide, has been traced for 100 metres and is open along strike.\nA secondary target at Blue Ice is its base metal potential. The host rocks in the region are being actively explored for nickel and copper and during the initial property examination several occurrences of copper mineralization were noted associated with pyrrhotite. The host rocks are stocks and sills of norite and gabbro in a larger domain of mafic and granitic gneiss. Several electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies were detected over the property by a government-funded airborne geophysical survey, several of which are in close proximity to areas of sulphide-bearing gabbro breccia.\nThe Blue Ice option agreement re...
