Historic Drilling
Considerable surface and underground drilling was completed in the 1950s by Hudson Yukon
Mining, an operating subsidiary of HudBay. Additional drilling was completed under the auspices of the Kluane JV (All-North, Chevron and Galactic Resources )

2006-2008 Coronation Minerals Drilling
The holes drilled on the Property by Coronation Minerals in 2006 were for the purpose of validating the historical drilling done by the Kluane JV in 1987 and 1988. The program was designed by WGM with a total of 24 holes proposed.
Coronation Minerals engaged E. Caron Diamond Drilling Ltd. of Whitehorse, Yukon as the drill contractor. All of the surface drilling was HQ, and holes were reduced to NQ as the depth increased and ground conditions became unfavourable. The underground drilling was all BTW core size. The drilling began in late July 2006 and a total of 11 holes were completed for 2,016.87 m.
Ten of the holes drilled in 2006 were drilled in order to “twin” historical holes
drilled by the Kluane JV.
In 2007, three underground holes were completed totalling 576.99 m. Two of the holes were
designed to “twin” historical holes.
In 2008, 13 additional surface diamond drill holes were drilled by Coronation Minerals.

Interesting to read, Chevron, All North, Galactic had a JV with Kluane.
Fastforward - does the current map of 2023 pfs show there's no Kluane
conditions over the Wellgreen ?
None.
Do take note how close the Kluane A,B colors are to Quill.

Thought ?
Might suggest - New Gov't agreements established new land
perimeters and going forward, only burwash A or B conditions apply.
Page 68 ( back track )
Between 1987 and 1988 during the Kluane JV, 16,648 m of drilling was completed in 83 surface and 34 underground holes with some rehabilitation of the underground workings and slashing of new drill stations.
Wango -
This language sounds like ( Kluane JV was limited in duration ? )
Which would coinside with, 2015 map showing no A,B conditions.
In the 1989 report -
Wellgreen claims were defined as - WG
In the 2015 report i'm not seeing WG
There are other names - but the map that's shown on page 58
does not give a breakdown on where these other names like,
jeep, rub, etc are located.

1.7.2 Geological Models
Lithologic wireframe models were created by Wellgreen Platinum geologic staff
For the resource modeling, the dunite, peridotite, pyroxenite and clinopyroxenite
were treated as a single domain for geostatistics with the gabbro/massive
sulphide material confined to a separate domain.
The dunite material
had 0.1% nickel deducted from the grade as an estimate of potential nickel silicate content
which eliminated nearly all of this material from the resource estimate
Wango -
What should they've done ?
Tested the dunite, peridotite, pyroxine,clinopyroxine on own.
Mill pull metallics
Then, acid to extract solid solution
= then formulate a combined grade
Since dunite was apart of the group of 4 minerals what happened ?
0.10% was deducted
Which eliminated nearly all this material.
OMG.
Does it make sense why 2014's ( measured, indicated, inferred )
seen a drastic reduction compared to this 2015 report.... hello.
Which might explain why many of the drill intercepts used in, 2015 pea
seem short on, meterage.
Could this be a cause of, only measuring sulphides and gabbs ?
In this same report they said they wouldn't use any drills before 2006.
WHY ???
This points right back to, Trio + Kluane JV years.
And Coronation years.
= underground drilling inside of mine....lol
The 2006, 2007 and 2008 diamond drill programs were carried out to twin historical holes and to upgrade the property’s resources to NI 43-101 standards. One diamond drill hole (WS-06-153) was drilled to test the thickness of the ultramafic body. It reached a final depth of 561.14 m, far deeper than historical records indicated.

Was drill hole (WS-06-153 used in..... 2015 pea ?
I don't see it .
What would 550+m deep holes do to a resource size if not included ?
How about eliminating all the silicated based on, 0.10% deduction ss.
0.26% Ni minus 0.10%
0.15% = low grade ( justifies / supports axing significant tonnage )
Let's ask what would happen
if a newer report used a 0.20% Ni cut off ?
2012 shows 2 nickels ( in peridotites )
Ni Sulphies + Ni other ( silicates or peridotite )
remember what 2015 pea stated ( prior to 2015 resource only had 2 geologies )
I'm seeing 0.40% Ni in peridotites + 0.33% Ni metallics )

Compare 2015 resource middle chart with 2014 ( top + bottom )

It's becomming quite clear as to how 2015 resource shrunk,
compared to, 2014.
- potential missing deep drills ( ug mine )
- only sulphides,gabbs saught
- never pulled plats out from magnetite
- no exotics
- forgot about 2012' MET study ( 80% peridotite blend )
- 2015 grouped dunite, perio, clino,, pyroxine together
- deducted 0.10% without proper validation
- eliminated majority of, resource
What would wellgreen look like if. ..
proper lab assaying ( fusion ) applied to silicates
it would look like 2012's lab assays
MET ?
Silicates saw fine milling
pull metallics
then acid
= proper assesment for mineral grades in silicates

In 2013, Wellgreen Platinum extensively re-logged historic core totaling
21,784 m from the Property to update the geologic model with new information. The Company
assayed all available ultramafic intervals that had not been previously sampled.
Where samples were available, Wellgreen re-assayed the historic intervals that had been previously analyzed, particularly from the 1987-1988 era drilling.
Question....
What if specific drill holes for the UG Mine
= were not avail or made avail ...?
There are many nickel juniors that have nickel
laterite, dunite, peridotite resources.
Some have grades of, 0.17% - 0.22%
Would they assume and deduct 010% nickel grades ?
lol
I figure.... our dunite, peridotite, pyroxine,clinopyroxine
should see 2012 fusion grades
Different MET as mentioned about
fine grind pull metallics from silicates
then acid
Yeah.... bring back our larger resource figures.
Please and thank you.
Even in the 2015 report speaks about mining inside the, UG mine,
BUT open pit models would affect the UG mine.
Then says, UG mine wouldn't come into play till phase 4 pit.....lol
That would certainly exclude a UG mine resource - deeper depths.
Cheers....
