The interval is also located at the mid-point, some 40 to 70 metres from (and between) historical 1970's vintage Falconbridge drill holes BU-38 (3.11% nickel over 7.0 metres), BU-56 (2.02% nickel over 6.1 metres), M77-09 (1.11% nickel over 1.5 metres) and M77-26A (1.70% nickel over 1.5 metre) along the south limb. Wedged metallurgical and in-fill holes N-05-12B and N-05-12C intersected 5% to 8% sulphides over 22 metres and 55 metres of 1% to 3% sulphides including 4 metres of more semi-massive and net-textured sulphides, respectively. The original drill hole N-12 gave three separate intersections of 3.29% nickel over 8.3 metres, 2.36% nickel over 7.3 metres and 2.01% nickel over 10.6 metres, respectively; whereas the first wedged diamond drill hole N05-12A (as reported in the press release issued March 3, 2005) intersected two intervals of high-grade nickel mineralization grading 2.23% nickel over 20.3 metres (including 11.06% nickel, 1.39% copper and 1.30 g/t palladium over 3.0 metres) and 1.84% nickel over 12.2 metres (including 2.69% nickel over 8.4 metres). Wedged metallurgical holes N-05-15A and N-05-15B each intersected 2% to 3% sulphides over 50 metres. The original drill hole N-15 intersected three separate intervals grading 3.70% nickel over 1.4 metres, 2.90% nickel over 5.0 metres and 1.50% nickel over 1.7 metres. N-05-15A is located 20 metres above N-14 (1.72% nickel over 8.8 metres); 50 metres north of N-18 (1.22% nickel over 4.4 metres); 40 metres south of N-20 (1.10% nickel over 4.9 metres); and 50 metres below M77-B (1.54% nickel over 6.34 metres). A number of assays are pending as part of a 20,000 metre diamond drill campaign on numerous targets across the TNB TNB Tenaga Nasional Berhad (electric power utility in Malaysia) TNB Tacoma Narrows Bridge TNB Thomas and Betts TNB Trinitrobenzene TNB Télévision Nationale du Burkina (Burkina Faso) on several Thompson/Birchtree-type targets.
