About the Company
Firesteel is an exploration-stage junior mining company
engaged in the acquisition and exploration of prospective precious and base metal properties in Canada and stable jurisdictions
around the world.
On 7 th April 2017, Firesteel announced the signing of heads of agreement for an option to
acquire 100% of Nordic Mines Marnad, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordic Mines AB. Nordic Mines Marknad owns 100% of Nordic Mines
OY, the operator of the fully permitted and past producing Laiva Mine near Raahe in Finland.
*This work was based on a technical report by SRK (UK) Limited, issued in Nov 2013, in a technical
report dated March 2015 conforming to JORC (2012) reporting standards for resource estimates. As Nordic Mines resources uses
JORC categories, it should be noted that the confidence in the estimate of JORC inferred mineral resources is usually not
sufficient to allow the results of the application of technical and economic parameters to be used for detailed planning. For
this reason, there is no direct link from an inferred resource to inferred resource as defined under NI43-10. However, the Company
deems this resource still relevant because economic parameters have not changes significantly since the most recent update and the
Company has confidence in the estimate based on review of technical data.
Inferred - 4.37 Mt grading 1.64 g/t Au;
There are no more recent estimates or data available. To upgrade this work from an historical
estimate to a current mineral resource, the Company will review the data set and complete additional modeling work to verify
the historic estimate as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to
classify the historical estimate, as current mineral resources or reserves, and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate
has current mineral resources or reserves you.
In addition Firesteel currently has one highly prospective property in British Colombia.
The Star property is currently
operated under a Joint Venture agreement between Firesteel (49%) and Prosper Gold. (TSX-V: PGX) (51%).
