The Company has two properties at present and includes the Burwash property which is adjacent to the Wellgreen Mine, also a former nickel and copper producer. The Burwash property is 8 km from the Alaska Highway near Burwash, Yukon Territory. The Company has also established a wholly owned subsidiary in Uruguay where we have identified a number of prospective targets in addition the Company has expanded its scope to include precious metals and is currently reviewing a number of opportunities.

It is located in the Kluane Ranges of southwest Yukon, 8 km by all weather road from the Alaska Highway. All areas of exploration interest on the property are served by a network of four-wheel-drive roads. The exploration target is nickel-copper-platinum group element (PGE) mineralization related to intrusions of the Late Triassic Kluane Mafic-Ultramafic Suite that were emplaced during a period of uplift and extension related to widespread basaltic volcanism. A 1989 pre-feasibility study outlined a combined proven and probable reserve of 50 million tonnes grading 0.36% nickel, 0.35% copper, 0.54 g/t platinum and 0.34 g/t palladium (note: this calculation pre-dates the implementation of NI 43-101 and should not be relied upon). A unique characteristic of the Wellgreen deposit and other occurrences associated with the Quill Creek Mafic-Ultramafic Complex is the unusually high proportion of the rare PGEs. For example, a 9.8 m chip sample across the discovery showing at Wellgreen assayed 2.44% nickel, 2.07% copper, 0.94% cobalt, 2400 ppb platinum, 2200 ppb palladium, 1020 ppb gold, 560 ppb rhodium, 650 ppb ruthenium, 440 ppb osmium and 550 ppb iridium. A development Wellgreen property is the discovery of shear zone hosted mineralization in the footwall of the mafic- ultramafic complex that is distinguished by its exceptionally high PGE grades. For example a chip sample taken in 2004 from an excavator trench across a 1.2 m wide zone returned assays of 35.8 g/t platinum, 64.3 g/t palladium, 1.37 g/t rhodium and 3.4 g/t gold with only 0.10% nickel and 0.14% copper.
