From Sudbury,

You are still able to go on Sedar and look up NR's from Freewest Resources even though they were taken out Cliffs. And now, Noront owns it.

Start looking around the Year 2009 and you will find that there was precious metals found with the chromite.

A couple of examples below

FREEWEST REPORTS ADDITIONAL EXCELLENT DRILL RESULTS FROM ITS 100%-OWNED McFAULDS PROPERTY, NORTHERN ONTARIO AND ON OTHER EXPLORATION DEVELOPMENTS HIGHLIGHTS: • Phase 2 drilling at the Black Thor chromite zone returns intercepts of 41.3% Cr2O3 over 44.0 metres as well as 42.5% Cr2O3 over 26.0 metres •

The AT12 Extension nickel-copper zone yields 1.62% nickel, 1.24% copper, 1.17 grams/tonne platinum, 3.91 grams/tonne palladium and 0.15 g/t gold (5.22 grams/tonne TPM – total precious metals) over 1.77 metres

Montreal, Quebec, Canada, September 17, 2009 - Freewest Resources Canada Inc. (FWR-TSX:V) (the “Company) is pleased to announce partial assays results obtained from recently completed diamond drilling (Phase 2) on its wholly-owned McFaulds property (the “Property”). The Property, consisting of 1,036 hectares, comprises one of three properties in which the Company is exploring on its own and in joint-venture agreements in the “Ring of Fire” metals district. In all, the Phase 2 diamond drilling program consisted of 10,663 metres comprising 29 holes. To date, complete assays have been received from 8 of the 29 holes drilled. This news release details and comments on the results of these 8 drill holes. Results from the remaining 21 drill holes will be released as they become available

===========================================================

Drilling Program Drilling commenced September 23, 2009 on hole FW-09-24 located on Line 1400E @ 1700N; drilling at 135o azimuth, with an initial dip of -50o . Intermittent chromite beds in a serpentinized dunite were intersected between 64.6 and 86.0 metres downhole. Chromitite was intersected between 101.9 and 132.2 metres downhole (30.3 metres of massive chromite). The hole was stopped at 136.4 metres in pyroxenite on September 26th. Assay results are pending.

This hole compares favorably with holes FW-08-22 and FW-08-23, both of which are located 100 metres to the southwest on Section 1300E.

As previously announced on January 14, 2009, Hole FW-08-22 encountered 42.08% Cr2O3 over 34.8 metres, and FW08-23 encountered 34.96% Cr2O3 over 42.0 metres.

These two holes also encountered intriguing platinum and palladium mineralization grading as high as 1.08 g/t Pt and 1.5 g/t Pd over 4 metres (in hole FW-08-23). True width of the chromitite and the platinum and palladium zone is not yet determined
