Exploration Programs: The first phase of exploration
at the joint venture property will include surface exploration
guided by the results of a recent airborne geophysical
survey. The goal is to discover mineralization similar
to that discovered in 2007 by Noront Resources at its
Double Eagle Property, which is widely considered to
be one of the most significant grassroots discoveries
made in Canada in recent years. Noront drilled 27 holes
totaling 5,047 meters during its first full exploration
season, with one of the best holes returning 117 meters
grading 4.1% nickel, 2.2% copper, 2.1 grams platinum
and 7.1 grams palladium per tonne, starting at 7 meters
below surface. In order to direct its resources to in-the-ground
exploration programs in the highly prospective Ring
of Fire district of Ontario, Lund Gold has terminated
its option and related payments to maintain the Carneirinho
gold project in Brazil.
