The positioning of the drill holes is based upon ground geophysical surveying during 2004 where ground geophysical surveys were completed including magnetic and horizontal loop electromagnetics. The anomaly being tested has a magnetically inferred strike length in the order of 500 metres, the electromagnetic anomaly is evident on three lines spaced 200 meters apart.

The Double Eagle project consists of 34 claims comprising 533 units encompassing an area of 8,528 hectares (21,320 acres) in the James Bay Lowlands in northeastern Ontario adjacent to Spider Resources / KWG joint venture where three significant volcanogenic base metal massive sulphides have been discovered.

On May 3rd 2007, (previously announced) The Company entered into an option agreement with Condor Diamond Corp. and Greenstone Exploration Company Ltd. (Condor/Greenstone) to acquire two claims consisting of 8 units adjoining the Company's Double Eagle. (See Press Release dated May 17th, 2007 for terms) www.norontresources.com.

The Company had originally budgeted $400,000 for this diamond drill program to test two separate magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies identified on the newly acquired "Condor" claims. Director of Noront, Mr. Neil Novak, P.Geo., along with Mr. Richard Nemis (President and Chairman of Noront) and Mr. John Harvey, P.Eng. (Senior Consultant to Noront) plan to visit the project area in the near future, to review the project and make additional plans for follow-up exploration. Mr. Novak states: "The geological setting as described by Dr. Lahti, is an ideal setting for copper / nickel mineralization, with the potential for platinum group elements. Peridotites are known to exist elsewhere in the Sachigo Greenstone Belt of Northern Ontario. The discovery by Noront is located approximately 4 kilometers to the west of a layered chromitite bearing peridotite, that was recently discovered by others exploring in the McFauld's Lake area for massive sulphides, and is in the same magnetically rendered system (as interpreted from airborne geophysical surveying completed in 2004 and 2005). The Noront discovery is a cumulate settling type occurrence, and as such, the possibility of the pyrrhotite containing nickel is considered high. While the Noront discovery bears geological similarities, the Noront mineralized zone does not have the chrome layering present in the other nearby occurrence. Olivine crystals are well formed, ranging in size from 5 mm to 10 mm, the chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite sulphides occur interstitially around the olivine phenocrysts. The percentage of sulphide mineralization as well as olivine crystal size is gradational between 56 meters and 125 meters, decreasing with down-hole depth, suggesting that the rock unit is structurally overturned."
