Nagagami River – Hearst Area, Northern Ontario
677 claims through staking, to cover the Nagagami Carbonatite/Alkalic Complex, located about 65 kilometers Northwest of Hearst Ontario. The staked area is equivalent to about 14,600 hectares or 140 square kilometers. A study of the magnetic data for the Nagagami Complex and the Niobec Mine both indicate a donut shaped structure with syenitic rocks forming the circular magnetic high with carbonatitic rocks forming the central magnetic low. At Niobec, it is in the central magnetic low where the Niobium and Rare Earth mineralization is hosted.
19 contiguous patented mining claims covering approx. 304ha, 16 claims in S. Corbiere Township and 3 claims in N. Esquega Township. The Company owns 100% mineral rights subject to 1-5% NSR and 5-10% NPI subject to payback of all historic costs. A wholly-owned gold exploration property in the Wawa area of Ontario.

The claims extend from about 4 to 15km southwest of the town of Hearst. The staked area is equivalent to approximately 4,500 hectares.
A 140kg boulder was found in the area containing significant concentrations of base and precious metals, upon which an analysis, conducted in 2019 by the Ontario Geological Survey, determined that the boulder contained; 71.8% copper, 3.5% lead, 1.09% zinc, 252 g/T of silver, 3.79 g/T of gold, 4.43 g/T of palladium, and 2.22 g/T of platinum and consisted primarily of the mineral cuprite. The significant discovery of the highly mineralized boulder was in an area that has not seen much past exploration. The discovery of the source of the boulder would be an important mineral find.
