Projects being Acquired by PCNC
The Wellgreen PGM Ni-Cu Project
The Wellgreen PGM Ni-Cu property covers an area of approximately 22 square miles in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The property has easy road access, located approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Burwash Landing, Yukon, 15 km from the paved 2 lane Alaska Highway and 402 km from Alaska’s Haines deep sea port. Wellgreen is part of Kluane Ultramafic Nickel belt, which is second largest behind the Thompson Belt in Canada and remains vastly unexplored. In 1972, Hudbay milled 171,652 tons grading 2.23% Copper and 1.39% Nickel. A total of 701 holes (182 surface, 519 underground) totalling 53,222 meters (28,303 meter surface, 24,919 meters underground) by previous operators. A historic, non 43-101 compliant geological resource (1989) estimated 55 million tonnes of 0.36% Ni, 0.35% Cu, 0.78 g/t PGM at Wellgreen. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources but as a historical estimate that should not be relied upon.
The current approach at Wellgreen has been to define the project’s full potential as a large, bulk tonnage, open pit operation. An independent NI 43-101 report prepared for Prophecy by Wardrop Engineering ("Wardrop") dated July 2010 indicates that the potential of the Wellgreen property ranges between 77 to 254 million tonnes at 0.26 to 0.38% Nickel, 0.26% to 0.36% Copper, 0.55 to 0.85 g/t Platinum and Palladium, based on a strike length range of 4,000 to 7,000m and a width of 30 to 35m. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in any discovery of a mineral resource. Subsequent to Wardrop’s Wellgreen Report Prophecy intercepted encouraging mineralization at Wellgreen including 496.06 meters of 0.596 g/t PGM+Au, 0.27% Ni, 0.18% Cu, 0.02% Co from Surface. (Please refer to Prophecy September 27th news). Prophecy currently is assaying past drill cores for Iridium, Osmium, Ruthenium, and Rhodium to obtain the full PGM grades at Wellgreen, and Prophecy intends to start drilling in April when weather permit.
The Lynn Lake Nickel Project
In October 2009, Prophecy entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in The Lynn Lake Nickel Project from Victory Nickel Inc. (TSX: NI). The deposit is in Manitoba, Canada, which is mining friendly and also adjacent to a power line, rail line, and airport. Lynn Lake contains Measured and indicated mineral resources of 22.9 million tons of grading, of 0.57% nickel and 0.30% copper and 8.1 million tonnes of Inferred Resource at 0.51% Nickel & 0.28% Copper (Wardrop Technical Report May, 2010). Approximately 50% of the host rock remains unexplored. An exciting 2008 discovery, the Disco Zone, includes intercepts of 47 meters of 0.7% nickel located 1.5km away from the outlined resource. A 3,000m 2010 drill program intercepted an additional discovery zone, the Tango Zone, details of which are outlined in Prophecy news release, December 6, 2010. The aforementioned Wardrop resource estimate does not include either the Disco Zone or Tango Zone discoveries. Prophecy recently completed extensive induced polarization (geophysics) programs and has initiated bulk tonnage metallurgical testing at Lynn Lake in preparation for a combination of infill and exploratory drill programs and a forthcoming feasibility study at Lynn Lake.
The information concerning the current mineral properties controlled by Prophecy, as described in this news release, has been reviewed and approved by Danniel Oosterman, P.Geo., a Prophecy Geologist and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
In accordance with Exchange policies, the shares of PCNC are currently halted from trading and will remain so until the documentation required by the Exchange for the Transaction can be provided to the Exchange.
