What is North Arrow

• North Arrow is a public junior exploration

North Arrow is a public junior exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (Symbol -NAR)

• Junior exploration companies have no revenue

and all money for operations and exploration is raised by issuing shares in the company for money

Lac de Gras Regional Location

Detailed Lac de Gras Project Location

Lac de Gras Project (Diamonds)

• Property is located within the Lac de Gras Kimberlite field which includes

the world class Ekati and Diavik diamond mines the world class Ekati and Diavik diamond mines

• Diavik and Ekati have provided huge benefits to the Northwest Territories

and to both its non aboriginal and aboriginal inhabitants For aboriginals and to both its non aboriginal and aboriginal inhabitants. For aboriginals there have been impact and benefit agreements, significant aboriginal training and employment and the formation of numerous aboriginal owned companies that rely on the business opportunities provided by the mines

• Both Diavik and Ekati are nearing the end of their mine lives and without

exploration there will be no possibility of discovery of new resources to t d th i i li Thi ill lt i i ifi t j b l d l k f extend their mine lives. This will result in significant job loss and a lack of demand for the services currently being supplied by aboriginal businesses

Kimberlite Pipe

Exploration for Kimberlites p

• Airborne geophysical survey over prospective area
• Till Sampling for indicator minerals
• Ground Geophysics
• Diamond Drilling

Typical Program Duration

Geophysical Program

• 2 to 3 weeks, 4 person crew

Drilling Program

• 3 to 4 weeks 7 person crew (4 drillers, 1 geo, 1 camp

man 1 cook) man, 1 cook)

Note: It is favourable to complete all geophysics before drilling but sometimes it is necessary to start drilling before all surveys are completed This would create an necessary to start drilling before all surveys are completed. This would create an

• verlap and one program of approximately 5 weeks.
