MANIITSOQ PROJECT, GREENLAND

100% interest in a giant property covering 4,983 km2 of the highly prospective, but underexplored, Greenland Norite Belt.

Located on tide water (navigable year-round) on the southwest coast of Greenland, near the village of Maniitsoq.

THE GREENLAND NORITE BELT- PLENTY OF ROOM FOR WORLD CLASS

NICKEL DEPOSIT(S)Belt is J-shaped, 75 km

long by 15 km wide and characterised by nickel-bearing noritic intrusions.

Numerous significant nickel showings with consistently high nickel tenor.

Slide 15

Nickel Tenor

• Maniitsoq sulphides have a relatively consistent nickel tenor of 6 to 8% Ni recalculated to 100% sulphide.

• Presence of pyrite means there is more S for a given amount of sulphide than in typical magmatic sulphide deposits consisting mainly of pyrrhotite-pentlandite and chalcopyrite.

Typical 100% sulphide mixtureof Po+Cp+Pn contains 35.7% S

MANIITSOQ PROJECT2011 SKYTEM RESULTS

NAN WORK (2011)

Helicopter EM surveys by NAN in 2011 over two small areas (<8% of the project area) successfully delineated new targets.

Additional helicopter EM surveys and drilling planned for 2012.

HISTORICAL WORK

Almost all showings were discovered in the 1960’s and early 70’s.

Average hole length less than 55 meters.

Slide 17

3D EM Modeling Target B1-B

700 m long, near surface conductive zone.

No previous drilling.

Characteristics and orientation of the conductor vary considerably along strike suggesting it is not formational.

Magnetic data suggests that it is hosted in a large (2.5 x 1.0 km) norite body (shown in light purple).

InterpretedNorite

1 km

Slide 18

3D EM Modeling Target B1-J

170 m long by 16 m wide conductor that comes to surface and is directly coincident with the Imiak Hill showing.

The model shows that the mineralization strikes parallel to most of the historical drilling and therefore has not been properly tested.

The model has very limited dip extent (21 m) but the best intersection on the showing (9.85 m averaging 2.67% Ni and 0.60% Cu) occurs 130 m below surface indicating that strong mineralization at surface is masking the EM response from mineralization at depth. FOOTWALL

3D EM Modeling Target B1-L

Modeled as a 330 x 100 m flat-lying conductor located 160 m below surface within a norite intrusion.

The conductor is untested but shallow, historical drilling 100 m above intersected weakly disseminated, nickeliferous sulphides grading up to 0.52% Ni and 0.26% Cu over 12.94 m.

Clearly, mineralizing processes were at work here as indicated by the disseminated near-surface mineralization and the most logical location to look for massive sulphides is at depth.

Plans for 2012 & Beyond

2012• Ground truth all 25 conductive target zones

identified by SkyTEM with emphasis on 3 highest priority zones (B1-B, B1-J and B1-L).

• Minimum 2,000 m of drilling to the three highest priority targets.

• 3,000 line-km of helicopter TEM over prospective norites in southern part of the norite belt.

• Prospecting outside of main norite belt looking for new showings and norites.

• Estimated cost $3.0 million

2013

• Minimum 6,000 m of follow-up drilling on targets derived from 2012 work

• 3,000 line-km of helicopter TEM

• Estimated cost $ 7.5 million.
