Message: Noront Visits Waabizheshibaawitig – Marten Falls First Nation
To date no significant deposits have been identified on the property, however there is a significant magnetic anomaly (the Pinay target) in the footwall to the Big Mac intrusion which has never been tested and which Noront believes represents a large ultramafic intrusion similar in scale to the Black Thor Intrusive Complex (BTIC). Should our assumption prove correct, the Pinay target would represent the largest untested ultramafic intrusion in the ROF a high priority target for Ni-Cu-PGE exploration.

Noront Visits Waabizheshibaawitig – Marten Falls First Nation
Posted On February 26, 2018
By guest contributor Maria Baxter, Community Communication Liaison Officer for Marten Falls First Nation
In November 2017, a team from Noront Resources visited Marten Falls to meet with community members, Chief and Council, Band Advisor Qasim Saddique and Advisor Lawrence Baxter.
The meeting took place at the Henry Coaster Memorial School gym where we all gathered for an update on development in the Ring of Fire from the asin inini ogima (Rock man boss). The meeting was led by Noront Chief Development Officer Steve Flewelling who highlighted the company’s current recent activities and explained how important it is for them to involve First Nation people in the work they are doing.

This opened a dialogue with community members who asked about the type of work that is available and how they could gain employment with the company. Steve said Noront had filled roles like geophysical field assistant, camp support staff, line-cutter, drill helper and cook/ medic with workers from the Marten Falls and Webequie communities who are identified as “tier one” applicants. When a position cannot be filled by these priority communities, qualified workers are hired from other communities.
One of the elders asked why Noront was not re-building an old air strip near the site. It was explained that this would be too expensive due to the amount of work required to make it safe for planes to land for the exploration program.
Noront VP Exploration Ryan Weston gave a presentation on geo mapping and minerals highlighting the Partridge Project (Pinay) and McFaulds No.8, which he described it as a significant new discovery that could represent a potential new zone of mineralization and a VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) deposit once drilled. He talked about Noront’s plans to further explore the McFauld’s property and said that any new discoveries will be named after a local bird. Following our meeting, Noront also held an off-reserve meeting in Thunder Bay on December 14, 2017.
