First Explorer at the "Ring of Fire" and presently drilling on the "BIG DADDY" Chromite/Pge's jv'd property...yet we were robbed
…Massive chromitite layers in a peridotite sill returned Cr2O3 grades as high as 35.6% over 7.5 metres, other layers show enrichment in Platinum and Palladium as high as 1.0 g/t (Pt + Pd) over 4.3 metres as well as enrichment in……
……As stated in an earlier release (dated April 8, 2008) Hole FW-08-05 was designed to undercut hole the 2006 drill hole numbered FW-06-03, hole 5 was drilled at an inclination of -50, with an azimuth of 150 degrees, for a total depth of 327 meters. Nickel as high as 0.25% Nickel over 3 meters…..

The winter drilling program completed by Spider and KWG resulted in the discovery of two massive chromitite layers hosted within peridotite, while drilling ground geophysical anomalies targeting volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposits (drill hole FW-06-03). The drilling returned the following assays (see news release of March 7, 2006).

22.70% chrome, 0.17 g/t platinum, 23.70% chrome, 0.21 g/t platinum,
0.24 g/t palladium over 0.46 g/t palladium over

acid ICP techniques for low and higher grades
Subsequent re-analyses of selected samples and some additional assaying of the drill core from the 2 chromitite layers and intervening wall rock in the peridotite was recently completed by Actlabs. The analyses yielded the following results.
Upper Chromitite Layer Lower Chromitite Layer
---------------------------------------------------------------------
23.40% chrome, 0.19 g/t platinum, 18.60% chrome, 0.23 g/t platinum,
0.21 g/t palladium, 0.32 0.48 g/t palladium, 0.30
g/t ruthenium, 0.05 g/t rhodium, g/t ruthenium, 0.05 g/t rhodium,
0.12% nickel over 1.03 0.13% nickel over 0.85

(2)Assays performed by Actlabs of Ancaster, Ontario, utilizing INAA for chrome, sodium peroxide fusion and ICP analysis for nickel and nickel sulphide fire assay technique for platinum-group-elements
The additional assaying completed on the entire mineralized zone in peridotite, including the upper and lower chromitite layers yields 4.05% chrome and 0.17% nickel over a core length of 16.85 metres.
