Some recent "co-operative" work has been undertaken with Noront on samples selected from the Freewest Option property. The work was done at University of Toronto, under the direction of Dr. James Mungall, his research assistant provided the analysis.

Interesting tidbit.

With several intersections of massive chromitite encountered in this recent drilling, the drill results can now be modelled three dimensionally and analyzed to determine section to section, as well as, hole to hole continuity. Lithogeochemical analysis will also be undertaken in order to join up the various chromitite layers to determine continuity. New drilling is currently being planned to infill the area between Section 10NE (Holes 3 and 5) as well as 11NE and 12NE on 50 metre centers. In order to understand more fully the chemical characteristics of the rock and how this impacts chrome valuation, whole rock analysis of the chrome enriched core must be undertaken.

It will be interesting to see whether there will be 3D model graphics at the Spider AGM. Isn't it Rockaur who does the independent modeling on the Noront Board? Does anyone have a map with the Sections? Maybe we could put it in the photos section for reference.

All drill holes were logged and samples referred to herein were completed and selected by Howard Lahti Ph.D., P.Geo, of Fredericton New Brunswick. The samples were sawn in half, with half of the core retained for further work and/or storage at the main base camp. The split samples were placed into individual plastic bags, clearly labelled and tagged and then sealed in rice bags where a numbered seal lock was closed by Dr. Lahti. The sealed rice bags were placed in plastic sealed pails and shipped via bonded carrier to Activation Laboratory’s (ActLab) new facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The samples were then entered into ActLab’s system for preparation, processing and analyzing. After initial processing at the Thunder Bay facility of ActLab the samples were shipped via lab – lab bonded courier to ActLab’s main laboratory in Ancaster, Ontario.

Both ActLab's facilities were used for these samples. Anyone have any idea whether the Thunderbay facility is now doing the whole "enchillada"?
