Geophysics have yeilded some targets, Deep deep targets identified by geophysics. As Noronts the operator can we expect drilling here in the near future? Perhaps NOTs waiting for Bold and Melkior to drill the close by West Nickel project, 10 first priortity conductors and 8 second priority conductors identified by Megatem survey, one priorty target on 50/50 Melkior/BMK claim. VTEM was solicited to follow up the Megatem on the West project. NOT may be privy to these geophysics and may elect to let it ride and wait and see what comes to surface once and when the drills turn here. Guess this may be another wait and see situation.
" This type of anomaly could be caused by a mafic/ultramafic intrusive which could be the source of nickel mineralization in the surrounding Ring of Fire. "
The Company's main emphasis is on two Copper-Nickel exploration properties located in the McFaulds Lake "Ring of Fire" area of Northern Ontario. Bold has an option agreement with Noront Resources to acquire a 50% in the RING STAR NICKEL Project, and has earned a 50% interest in the WEST NICKEL project with Melkior Resources.
