Hi Coop, I can answer # 3. See below at the end of the paragraph, in today's NR, by FWR.

FREEWEST-SPIDER-KWG JV PROPERTY AND FREEWEST-NORONT JV PROPERTY:
A recent diamond drilling program completed by Spider Resources and KWG Resources on the Freewest-Spider-KWG joint-venture resulted in the expansion of a new chromite zone hosted in peridotite. To date, high-grade chromite mineralization has been traced over a strike length of 250 metres and to a vertical depth of close to 300 metres. Hole FW-08-07 yielded 30.73% CR2O3 over 14.4 metres while FW-08-05 cut 35.6% CR2O3 over 7.5 metres. One of the more recent drill holes completed on the zone cut 45.6 metres of massive chromite in FW-08-14. (see Freewest News Release dated August 20, 2008). The chromite zone remains open-ended along strike and to depth. Drilling continues on the chromite zone in efforts to expand the area of mineralization with the near-term objective of completing a 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate on the chromite before year-end.
In addition to further drilling on the chromite zone, several other quality geophysical targets will be drill-tested for their nickel-copper-platinum group element potential.
Spider and KWG may earn a 50% interest in the property by spending $3.0 million on exploration over a 4-year period. They may earn a 60% interest by delivering a bankable feasible study on any mineralization found and a cumulative 65% interest, by arranging project financing on behalf of Freewest to put such mineralization into commercial production.
Freewest and Noront recently agreed to jointly explore a key airborne geophysical anomaly situated near the common boundary of the FWR Property and adjacent land owned by Noront Resources Ltd. Under the agreement terms, Freewest and Noront contributed 68 and 70 acres of their properties respectively, to form the joint-venture (Freewest-Noront JV Property).
The joint-venture property covers a prominent bulls-eye shaped magnetic anomaly resembling the magnetic signature associated with the Eagle One deposit. Deep-penetrating electromagnetic surveys (TDEM) will be completed over the magnetic anomaly to help prepare this target for diamond drilling, anticipated to occur in the late fall of 2008.
