Lake Johnston - Summary

  • Multiple EM conductors

similar to Nova conductors

  • Drilling first 6 EM conductors

– Q4 2012 – 2000 metres

  • Two operating nickel mines in

entire belt- More to be found!

  • Highly leveraged to

exploration success

Chanach 2012 Exploration Program

  • Objective 1: Double size of mineralised footprint

– Extend main mineralised zone (500-1000m RC drilling) – Test Porphyry - limestone contact (Skarn) – Test gold zones

  • Objective 2: Identify core of Porphyry system

– Extensive soil sampling program over alteration targets (1000 samples) – Ground or helicopter magnetic survey (possible)

  • More Copper - More Gold - More Tonnes
