Noront Discoveries

posted on Mar 21, 2009 08:13AM

Company Overview

Noront Resources is an exploration-stage resource company focused on its significant nickel-copper-platinum-palladium-chrome discovery at the Double Eagle project in the "Ring of Fire", an emerging metal district in the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario, Canada.

Ring of Fire - Multiple discoveries have been made since initial discovery of August 2007.

Eagle One Discovery

High grade near surface base and precious metal discovery that now boasts a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate:

  • Drill highlights include up to 117.4 metres grading 4.1% Ni, 2.2% Cu, 2.1 g/t Pt and 7.1 g/t Pd.
  • Indicated resource of 1.8 million tonnes grading 1.96% Ni, 1.18% Cu, 1.12 g/t Pt and 3.91 g/t Pd.
  • Inferred resource of 1.1 tonnes grading 2.39% Ni, 1.27% Cu, 1.37 g/t Pt and 4.50 g/t Pd.
  • High nickel grades in the massive sulphide zone make it possible for Noront to consider the option of direct shipment of ore to an existing concentrator/smelter facility outside the project area.
  • The deposit remains open at depth and along strike.

Eagle Two Discovery

Near surface nickel-copper-pge target being delineated to depth in search of a sulphide rich feeder:

  • Eagle Two is located two kilometers southwest of the Eagle One deposit.
  • Shallow mineralization was encountered 39 metres below surface.
  • Drill highlights include 34 metres of 0.6% Ni, and 6 metres of 2.2% Ni.
  • Using Eagle One as a model, Noront continues to track Eagle Two in two directions, scoping for the feeder system.

Blackbird One Discovery

Drilling unexpectedly intersected massive chromite (Cr2O3) mineralization below the Eagle Two deposit:

  • Blackbird One's main mineralized zone runs above 40% Cr2O3 with a favourable chrome/iron ratio or over 2.0.
  • This chromite discovery is relatively high grade compared to other global deposits, has a favourable chrome/iron ratio and a desirable lumpy consistency.

Blackbird Two Discovery

Early drilling has identified massive chromite beds:

  • The anomaly is one kilometre long, along strike from Blackbird One.
  • Potential exists for a multimillion tonne resource

AT-12 Anomaly

Drilling to date has encountered encouraging widths of visually observed mineralization 9.5 kilometers northeast of Eagle One:

  • Two drill holes encountered widths of up to 66 metres of visually observed disseminated and semi-massive copper-nickel-iron sulphides.
  • The company continues to drill this target.
