GREENLAND
 100% interest in a giant property
covering 4,983 km2 of the highly
prospective, but underexplored,
Maniitsoq Impact structure.
 Located on tide water (navigable year-
round) on the southwest coast of
Greenland, near the village of
Maniitsoq.
Slide 19

20. MANIITSOQ SUMMARY
Deposit Type: Magmatic Ni+Cu+Co+PGE sulphide
Minimum size: 10 to 15 Mt @ 1.0% Ni equivalent
Location: Southwest Greenland
Property status: 4,983 km2 in two exclusive mineral exploration licences.
Infrastructure: None, but most targets are <50 km from ice-free tide water.
Previous work: Prospecting and shallow drilling (average hole length <55 m)
discovered numerous high grade Ni showings in 1960’s and
70’s. Airborne and surface geophysical surveys in the1990s
failed to identify any drill targets.
Exploration rational: Very possible that economic deposits were missed as
historical geophysical technology had difficulty in the rugged
terrain that characterizes the project area. Modern helicopter
TEM flown perpendicular to strike at low altitude will have a
much better chance of locating Ni+Cu+Co+PGE deposits.
Slide 20

21. MANIITSOQ MILESTONES
2011
 Identified Maniitsoq area as favourable for nickel sulphide deposits and acquired ground.
 Compiled all available geological and historical exploration data in digital GIS format.
 Located key historical showings and drill holes in the field.
 Confirmed effectiveness of helicopter TEM by flying test survey over selected areas.
2012
 Acquired additional ground based on positive 2011 results.
 Completed helicopter TEM and magnetic surveys over high priority areas (totaling 860 km2) and
identified over 75 conductors.
 Commenced checking conductors on the ground.
 Drilled nine holes totaling 1,551 m in three target areas; made significant multi-element
intersections at two areas and encountered anomalous mineralization at the third.
Planned for 2013
 Drilling to expand 2012 successes and to test new conductors identified by helicopter geophysics.
 Surface mapping, prospecting and sampling over selected conductors and throughout the project
area to identify additional drill targets.
 Mineralogical and petrographic studies of the mineralization and host rocks.

POTENTIAL
• High-grade, multi-element diamond drill intersections over long intervals.
e.g. 123.94 m @ 0.81% Ni, 0.21%Cu, 0.03% Co and 0.26 g/t PGM
incl. 24.20 m @ 1.75% Ni, 0.34% Cu, 0.06% Co and 0.52 g/t PGM
(NAN 2012 DDH: MQ-12-005)
• Underexplored (previous hole lengths averaged < 55 m) but lots of high-grade
historical assays with consistent high sulphide Ni tenor (6-8%).
• Mafic intrusions hosting the mineralization are contaminated mantle melts and
appear to have been part of a long-lived, dynamic magma conduit system
triggered by a large impact (possibly the largest yet recognized on Earth).
• Centred on major, long-lived, deep seated structures that were active from the
Archean to the Jurassic (2.8 billion years).
• New helicopter geophysical technology is proving far more effective than
techniques used in the past; over 75 conductive zones identified to date.

of monoclinic
pyrrhotite, pyrite,
pentlandite and
chalcopyrite.
Imiak Hill
• Often coarse-grained.
• Likely to produce a
clean concentrate. Pingo
• Inclusion-bearing
sulphide (i.e. sulphide

CONDUCTIVE TARGETS
Cominco 1995 – 1996
• 20,446 line-km of airborne GeoTEM EM and
magnetic surveying.
– Lines 200-400 m apart oriented 080° (i.e.
subparallel to orientation of norites resulting in
poor coupling).
– Large fixed wing aircraft had difficulty hugging the
rugged terrain resulting in noisy data.
– Very few anomalies associated with norites.
– Ground follow-up prospecting, minor surface
geophysics (<30 line-km) but no drilling.
Falconbridge 1993 & 2000
• 100 line-km of UTEM over Imiak Hill and part of
Fossilik.
– Lines 200 to 400 m apart.
– No conductors detected and no drilling done.
