Exploration Targets - click for larger view

A number of anomalous mineralised targets occur over the Company's 150 sq. km concession. Surface sampling, geochemical, geophysical, and limited drilling has been undertaken over some of these areas over the last 10 years.

The significant target areas and material results are:

1. Ban Trang - (located 2.5 km from Ban Phuc) 17 trenches and 5 drill holes have tested this 600m long target zone. Historical drilling (LK4) intersected 8.0m grading 0.5% Ni and 1.0% Cu, and LK2 reported 1.0m grading 2.7% Ni.

2. Ban Trang South - Airborne and ground geo-physical surveys have been undertaken and identified anomalous trends. Surface grab sampling has reported grades averaging 1.6%Ni, 0.5% Cu, 1.6 g/t Pt, and 0.4 g/t Pd.

3. Ban Khoa - (located 1.5 km from Ban Phuc) Some trenching, surface sampling, and one historical hole (LK2) intersected 10.0m grading 1.2%Ni.

4. Ban Tao - (located on eastern flank of Ban Phuc) Grab sampling of surface mineralized material has returned average grades of 1.1% Ni, 1.2% Cu, 2.0 g/t PGE.

5. King Snake - (located 1.0 km from Ban Phuc) Some drilling completed over this trend warrants follow-up work. Sampling of the massive sulphide outcrop returned grades of 4.0% Ni, 1.5% Cu, 0.12% Co, 1.7 g/t Pt, and 2.0g/t Pd.

6. Hong Ngai, Ban Nguon, Ban Bo - Airborne and ground geo-physics have identified strong anomalous trends. A grid programme of soil samples have been systematically collected and are currently being assayed - results pending.

7. Ban Mong - Historical work has identified massive and disseminated mineralization in an excavated adit. Channel sampling has returned grades over a 5.0m interval of 0.8% Ni and 1.0m grading 6.6% Ni.
