...........................................................
[a] mount kakoulima:
the following is a mixture of information derived from
...comments by mr. middleton
...maple's news release of feb 10, 2004
...fort knox news release of feb 4, 2004
...and afcan's website.
a nickel-copper-cobalt and platinum-bearing mineralized horizontal layer of massive sulphides was discovered by SEMAFO-AFCAN in 1997.....on the mount kakoulima intrusive complex in guinea.
the complex is similar in many aspects to the sudbury, ontario geological environment...
and is also similar to labrador's voisey's bay
and south africa's bushveld intrusive!!
1997 surface drilling:
narrow high grade ni-cu-co-pt-pd massive sulphide veins.
best historic drill intersections....
ni...4.72%
cu...1.51%
co...0.22% [over 4 lbs/t per mr. middleton's calculations]
pt-pd...3.0 g/t over 0.51 meters
maples....option/joint venture agreement with fort knox mining to earn a 50% interest in the mount kakoulima 295.5 km[2] property....located 30 km from conakry, the capital.

...............................................................
[c] lang lake:
a 151 claim property that targets au, cu.
property remains to be drilled.....could be some time this year.
a recent forest fire has covered the old drill cores with soot, making it very awkward/dirty to handle them.
[d] shebandowan belt [target gold]:
mr middleton hopes to establish drill targets on deaty, hamlin, powell, clay....and then line them up like "ducks in a row" for a drill program.
[e] just a note:
it is unfortunate that a maple website is not available as it would allow potential shareholders to perform their necessary DD [due diligence]!!!!
