Shawmere Project - Bulk Sampling

Proposal details:

The Proponent is a privately held exploration stage mineral company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of anorthosite mineral properties located near the town of Foleyet in Northern Ontario, Canada. The company holds a 100% interest in 614 single cell mining claims within in the Shawmere Anorthosite Complex covering 13,198.45 hectares.

The bulk sampling could be carried out in a variety of ways with the first being the preferred method:

• Bring in track mounted drilling rigs to drill holes for blasting materials. A blast contractor would be brought in and the area would be blasted. This would be the fastest and easiest method from a labour perspective and would also allow for a small footprint.
• Areas would be selected and mechanically stripped (if required) and then personnel would run channel samples approximately 6 inches to 8 inches deep and 3 inches wide and chip out materials until sufficient quantity has been obtained. This would be less cost effective and more labor intensive.

Once the material has been extracted the company plans on utilizing in a small crusher and crush the rock on site prior to it being shipped to the lab for processing.
