Noront expands Eagle One with polymetallic finds

摘要

The story of the Ring of Fire, one of the hottest exploration camps in Canada, started in August 2007, when Noront Resources (NOT-V, NOSOF-O) made a surprise discovery of high-grade nickel-copper-platinum group element (PGE) mineralization on the Double Eagle project, which covers 1,100 sq. km in the James Bay lowlands of northern Ontario. That fateful discovery, named Eagle One, drew explorers' attention to the remote region and sparked a staking rush focusing on a crescent-shaped horizon of silicate iron formation, overlain to the outside by metasediments and metavolcanics, and underlain on the inside by older arc rocks, including some metasediments, metavolcanics, and abundant felsic-to-intermediate intrusions. (This geology is similar to that of the Shaw Dome near Timmins, Ont.)
