AT4 ANOMALY

A total of 951 meters in three holes were completed to test airborne anomaly AT4 and its southwestern extension, located 5.5 kilometers southwest of Eagle One. Two holes encountered volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") style mineralization in intermediate to felsic volcanic assemblages and the third hole was lost. The holes returned several large widths of barren sulphide mineralization in favourable volcanic rocks uncomformably overlying the Ring of Fire. Minor visible copper - zinc mineralization observed here justifies continued exploration along this favorable north-east to south-west trending stratigraphy. All samples selected will be reported upon once assays have been received. The following table lists the holes drilled in this anomaly area; all assays for these holes are pending.

AT8 ANOMALY

Only one hole tested this anomaly located 6.3 kilometers to the southwest of Eagle One and 2.0 kilometers east of AT3 anomaly. Hole NOT-08-1G29 tested airborne anomaly labeled AT8. The hole encountered altered peridotite with little sulphide mineralization. The peridotite exhibited strong chlorite alteration and only minor sulphide mineralization was observed. No sampling was done on this hole. Deeper penetrating geophysical surveying is required here to further explain the cause of the airborne anomaly.

ON SITE QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES

The aforementioned assay and sample information, as well as geological descriptions are taken from drill logs as prepared by the Project geologists for the drill program onsite. Billiken Management Services Inc. is providing all services on site for the Noront Double Eagle Project., Billiken is a holder of Certificate of Authorization issued by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario. All samples from the early part of the 2008 exploration program were submitted to SGS Mineral Services in Toronto, Ontario. Samples were selected in the field under the supervision of the site geologist, then were cut by diamond saw. One half of the sample is retained for record at the base camp, the other half of the sample was placed in a plastic bag and individually sealed. The sealed bags are then placed in durable rice bags in batches of 5 and a numbered security tag seals each rice bag. The rice bags are placed in plastic pails and batches of 40 samples were sent by bonded courier to SGS Mineral Services in Toronto, Ontario.

INDEPENDENT QUALITY CONTROL AND ANALYTICAL PROTOCOL

A thorough quality control program was implemented for the Double Eagle project which included grouping samples into batches of 35 into which was added 2 certified reference material standards, 2 field blanks comprised of sterile drill core, and a field duplicate. It can be said with confidence that all assays as reported in this Press Release have passed the strict quality control guidelines as set out by an Independent Qualified Person ("IQP").

All samples reported upon herein were completed by SGS Mineral Services (SGS) at Toronto, Ontario or Activation Labs (Actlabs) of Ancaster, Ontario. The samples submitted to SGS were analyzed using four acid digestion followed by multi-element analysis ICP40B. The samples that received base metal analyses greater than the detection limit using the multi-element analysis underwent further analysis using FAI323 (Fire Assay) for precious metals and ICP90Q for copper and nickel.
