[Alteration of buck1.] Lake Nickel Project Wabowden, Manitoba, recently completed by Micon International. The Study indicates the ability of the project to deliver a 23.9% rate of return and a net present value at a 10% discount rate of C$22.6 million at an average life-of-mine nickel price of US$5.00 per pound. At a US$6.00 per pound nickel price (average 2005 nickel price averaged about US$6.75 per pound), the rate of return increases to 41.6% and the net present value increases to C$53.1 million at a 10% discount rate (all currencies, unless otherwise stated are in Canadian dollars). The feasibility study employed the services of engineering specialists in a number of disciplines and was coordinated and written by Micon (refer to press release dated December 16, 2005). Crowflight plans additional work to take the project to a Bankable bank·a·ble adj. 1. Acceptable to or at a bank: bankable funds. 2. Guaranteed to bring profit: a bankable movie star. Feasibility Stage. Activities intended for this Stage, include: - Full project permitting - the project is currently permitted to discharge mine water, rehabilitate the underground workings and to extract a bulk sample. With the completion of the project feasibility study the Company now has sufficient information to apply for full project permitting. - Further resource definition drilling - based on the results of the Summer 2005 program Crowflight believes it can add as much as 500,000 to 1,000,000 additional tonnes of Indicated Resources down to the 2000 Level (approximately 600 metres below surface) in close proximity to planned mine infrastructure. - Sourcing of used plant buildings and equipment - a number of opportunities have been identified where suitable used buildings and equipment are available which following refurbishment could reduce the capital cost of the project. - Reduce Operating Costs/Increase Revenues- based on the detailed information available from the feasibility study, further pursue a number of additional operating improvements and revenue enhancing activities which will positively impact project economics. Crowflight intends to complete the various Bankable Feasibility activities in the second quarter of 2006 and coincident with these activities seek project financing Project financing A form of asset-based financing in which a firm finances a discrete set of assets on a stand-alone basis. . Crowflight believes that if successful in achieving the sought after enhancements through the aforementioned Bankable Feasibility activities, the Bucko Deposit will have the potential to be within the second quartile Quartile A statistical term describing a division of observations into four defined intervals based upon the values of the data and how they compare to the entire set of observations. Notes: Each quartile contains 25% of the total observations. of average nickel industry costs and will have sufficiently robust economics to ensure an attractive rate of return and net present value at a life-of-mine average nickel price of US$4.00 per pound. If successful in financing the project and developing the mine, Crowflight plans to be producing a nickel concentrate by the third quarter 2007. The costs of the Advanced Feasibility activities are estimated at from C$2.0 to C$3.0 million.
