Noront's Blackbird #1 and #2 chromite occurrences and those of Freewest's

Black Thor Chromite discovery, plus Spiders Big Daddy could collectively

represent the most significant chromite discovery ever made in North America.

The magnitude of these new chromite discoveries has yet to be fully evaluated,

however the fact that the occurrences are in the same peridotite body and are

found over a strike length of 14 kilometers and in some locations to have a

thickness of 100 meters, infers that the McFaulds Lake Chromite deposits could

be significantly large, perhaps comparable to some of the largest and richest

chromite deposits in the world.

Where there is Chromite there is a potential for Platinum group metals.

Where there is Massive amounts of Chromite there is a potential for Massive PGM's

Hoping that we will have lots of HALTS for Pending News in 2009
