2.95% Copper and 0.355% Nickel --------------
2.95% Copper and 0.355% Nickel -------------- In Mexico, on Noront’s optioned El Volcan copper-nickel property near Todos Santos on the Baja Mexico, a detailed ground magnetometer survey was recently completed and several strong anomalies have been located along a north-south trend where previous trenching in 1968 discovered significant copper-nickel sulphide mineralization across widths up to 16 meters in a series of trenches along a 400 meter strike length. In 2005 check chip channel samples were taken from the 50 foot trench averaged 2.95% Copper and 0.355% Nickel across 50 feet. Cobalt assays gave values ranging from 230 parts per million (ppm) to 950 ppm (0.095% Cobalt) while Precious Metals (Au, Pt, Pd) assay results gave values up to 0.504 grams per ton. (See press release dated December 19, 2005). No diamond drilling, to the Company’s knowledge, has ever been completed on the project. Before drill testing of the magnetic anomalies is considered, further trenching including resurrection of the old trenches and sampling will be completed as soon as equipment becomes available.
