Message: Komatiites

This is significant and positive news. With a little patience this Butler property could be the next big "find" in the ROF.

Lifted from todays Press Release:

Of significance to the Property's Ni potential, Mr. Hulbert also identified unequivocal komatiites on the Property. Komatiites are extremely high temperature extrusive rocks that can host significant magmatic Ni deposits (eg. Thompson Ni Belt, Manitoba; Raglan, Quebec; Kambalda, Australia). According to Dr. Hulbert:

'One of the most striking observations was the abundance and widespread nature of gabbroic rocks and their extreme degree of differentiation. Of equal if not more importance was the recognition for the first time of komatiites. The presence of true komatiites raises the Ni-Cu-PGE prospectivity of the property to a new level not previously appreciated.'

Recently Mungall et. al presented a paper at the 11th International Platinum Symposium entitled "The Eagle's Nest Komatiite-Hosted Ni-Cu-PGE Sulphide Deposit in the James Bay Lowlands, Ontario" describing Noront Resources Ltd.'s recent Ni-Cu-PGE discovery, and speculating on its komatiitic origin. Although komatiites have yet to be discovered on the Noront property, the discovery of true komatiites on the Butler Property not only confirms Mungall et. al's hypothesis for the origin of the Eagle's nest Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide deposit, but also increases the prospectivity for similar Ni-Cu-PGE discoveries on the Butler Property.

We will see if the addition of these two fine geo's leads to anything.....

Best of luck,
