RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Summation of project.
The area has been an exploration target since 1960 when mineralization was first discovered by Bankeno Ltd. while conducting oil and gas exploration in the region. Bankeno entered into a 25% joint venture with Cominco Ltd. in 1964 to explore properties in the Cornwallis Zn-Pb district, including the area of the Storm showings. From early 1964 until 2007, Cominco was actively conducting exploration within the Storm Property. A joint venture agreement with Noranda Inc. covered exploration from 1999 to 2001. Commander Resources acquired Prospecting Permits in the area after the land package held by Cominco had substantially lapsed in 2007. In writing this report the authors relied upon government research, personal communications, assessment reports and historical internal reports summarized by and on behalf of Cominco, Noranda and Commander. The author also utilized information from Cominco, later Teck-Cominco Ltd. (Teck), who had maintained mineral tenure in the region since 1964.
