LOCATION

Located on the southwest coast of Greenland, which is pack ice free year-round.

Mild climate allows for year round mining & shipping of concentrate.

Modern, well serviced container ports and European standard logistical support and coastal re-supply services.

Greenland is a democratic, pro-mining country with a transparent regulatory system, competitive mining tax regime and no land claims issues.

OVERVIEW

District scale property covering 2,954 sq km in SW

Greenland. 100% Owned.

Property covers 75km x 15km Greenland Norite Belt

(GNB) hosting numerous mineralized intrusions

Imiak Hill Complex (IHC) comprises three norite bodies

within a 2km radius hosting high grade Ni-Cu sulphides

(locally > 7% Ni):

Imiak Hill

Spotty Hill

Mikissoq

Significant new Ni-Cu sulphide intersections at regional

targets

Over 200 conductive targets identified through helicopter

EM (VTEM) geophysical surveys

9

GEOLOGY

Nickeliferous Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusions

Concentrated in a 75 x 15km curvilinear belt known asthe Greenland Norite Belt

Norites, leuco-norites, pyroxenites & peridotites with surface gossans

Range in size from small dykes and plugs to elongatedbodies covering up to 8 km2

Hybridized margins and xenoliths of partially resorbed country rock are common

Age dates of ~ 3.0 Ga

Country Rocks

Mesoarchean gneisses of the North Atlantic Craton

Mainly trondhjemitic-tonalitic-granodioritic (TTG) and granitic gneisses

Amphibolite and meta-sedimentary supracrustal rocks

Strongly deformed & metamorphosed

EXPLORATION HISTORY 1959 - 1973

Kryolitselskabet Øresund (“KØ”)

Systematic prospecting from the air

Shallow-looking surface geophysics (< 50m)

Shallow diamond drilling (avg. <55 m)

Surface nickel occurrences and nickel intersections

in drilling:

Fossilik II: 12.89m @ 2.24% Ni & 0.63% Cu

Imiak Hill: 9.85m @ 2.67% Ni & 0.60% Cu

Quagssuk: 4.95m @ 1.97% Ni & 0.43% Cu

= Selected Ni-Cu occurrence= Ni-Cu occurrence

No airborne geophysics, modern

ground EM or borehole EM surveys

11

EXPLORATION HISTORY 1995 - 2000

1995: GEUS

Commissioned Geoterrex to fly fixed wing GeoTEM survey

1995 – 1996: Cominco

Ground follow-up of airborne EM picks

Limited ground geophysics

1996 – 1998: Platinova and Monopros

Diamond exploration incl. DIGHEM survey

1999 – 2000: Falconbridge Limited

Prospecting & re-analysis of historical drill core to confirm

high grade assays and establish nickel tenors

Limited ground geophysics

No drilling by either Cominco or Falconbridge

12

New Technology Helicopter-borne TDEM

Borehole TDEM

Surface EM & Gravity

The Past

Prospecting, fixed wing airborne EM and shallow surface geophysical surveys

Successful at locating outcropping mineralization but airborne EM surveys hampered by rugged terrain

Historical drilling was shallow and did not include borehole EM

The Present

Helicopter-borne EM surveys mantle the terrain and can detect conductors not seen by historical airborne EM surveys ~260 EM anomalies (23 tested)

Surface gravity surveys potentially outline mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the sub-surface

Borehole EM increases “search radius” of drill holes and helps target follow-up drilling

14,589m of drilling: 2/3 at Imiak Hill 1/3 Regional

~ 30% of property covered by Helicopter EM

Norite Intrusions

Distinct Appearance

Rounded hills covered with brownish-grey, often rusty, rock and coarsegravel.

Multi-phase: compositions range fromquartz diorite through norite topyroxenite to lherzolite.

Locally pyroxenes are partially orcompletely replaced by hornblende.

Field and Drill Core Observations

Centre of bodies are massive to weaklyfoliated.

Strain localized near contacts which canbe mylonitized.

Magmatic textures as well as apparentremobilization and recrystallization.

Evidence of interaction with countryrocks; chaotic rock assemblages withbreccia-like textures

37

Sulphide Mineralization

Consists of monoclinic pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite and pyrite

Often coarse-grained

Nickel primarily in pentlanditeand likely to produce a clean concentrate

Inclusion-bearing sulphides (i.e. massive sulphide matrix with fragments of host rock) is a common texture

Disseminated, blebby, net textured and vein sulphides are also common
