Although the Levack Footwall Deposit remains the most advanced and potentially significant deposit, all of the high-grade mineralized zones are open in all directions and have excellent stand alone potential.

The Company continues to be very encouraged by the results obtained to date. The economic significance of the individual zones and how they might relate to each other are unknown at this time and extensive additional diamond drilling Diamond Drilling is a highly specialized industry used for mineral exploration around the world. Most commonly using wireline and core bits with diamond encrusted matrix. To drill holes to max depths of twelve thousand feet, for the recovery of core used in verifying mineral  is required to fully evaluate the four individual footwall zones and the overall potential of the large, very prospective, Levack footwall environment.

Pending similar encouraging drill results, the Company expects to initiate scoping studies in the first half of 2006 to evaluate possible underground access to the Levack Footwall Deposit to permit detailed close-spaced diamond drilling and the extraction of a bulk sample.

ROB'S FOOTWALL ZONE

Rob's Footwall Zone (formerly called #7 Footwall Zone) was previously tested by five historical boreholes, all of which intersected massive sulphides containing Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd-Au mineralization over significant widths (e.g. 2.0% Cu, 3.2% Ni and 2.5 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 47.3').

Although realized to have excellent potential, Rob's Footwall Zone, which is close to underground infrastructure at Levack Mine, cannot be readily drill tested from surface due to its location below mined out areas. However, the recently established drill platforms in Falconbridge's Craig Mine have facilitated drill testing Rob's Footwall Zone.

Recent FNX drilling 300 feet east of the historic drilling intersected high-grade Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd-Au mineralization over similar widths (e.g. 3.3% Cu, 3.7% Ni, 5.1 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 47.9' - C$768 per ton of ore) and has expanded Rob's Footwall Zone along strike and to depth. The zone is open in all directions and the possibility exists that it may join with the Levack Footwall Deposit.

Rob's Footwall Zone is hosted in thermally recrystallized Sudbury Breccia proximal proximal /prox·i·mal/ (-mil) nearest to a point of reference, as to a center or median line or to the point of attachment or origin.

prox·i·mal
adj.
 to the base of the Sudbury Igneous Complex The Sudbury Igneous Complex is a 1844 million year old impact melt sheet in Greater Sudbury, Northern Ontario, Canada. It is part of the Sudbury Basin impact structure, and is classified as a lopolith. . The mineralization is characterized by massive veins and semi-massive sulphide zones rich in nickel and copper with elevated amounts of Pt-Pd-Au relative to the pyrrhotite-rich, low Pt-Pd-Au, sulphide assemblages typical of Sudbury Contact Ni styles of mineralization.

The location and the high-grade Ni and Cu values with significant Pt-Pd-Au are typical of Transitional Deposit styles of mineralization in Sudbury and may represent a transition from the nickel-dominant Levack Contact Deposits to the Cu-Pt-Pd-Au dominant Levack Footwall Deposit. An example of a transitional deposit being connected to a footwall deposit occurs a few kilometers to the west at FNX's McCreedy West Mine, where the mined out transitional Middle Main Deposit connects to the Footwall Cu Deposit.

Drilling underground to further test the potential of Rob's Footwall Zone is ongoing from an historical exploration drift drift, deposit of mixed clay, gravel, sand, and boulders transported and laid down by glaciers. Stratified, or glaciofluvial, drift is carried by waters flowing from the melting ice of a glacier.  that extends from Falconbridge's Craig Mine onto FNX's Levack Mine Property. These boreholes are relatively short as the exploration drift is only a few hundred feet from Rob's Footwall Zone.

LOWER LEVACK FOOTWALL ZONE

The Levack Footwall Deposit boreholes are routinely extended through the deposit into the lower portion of the host Sudbury Breccia package, which is considered to have potential to host Low-Sulphide Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd-Au mineralization similar to the McCreedy West PM Deposit. The mineralization reported today is from boreholes whose primary target was the Levack Footwall Deposit but, which intersected the previously unknown Lower Levack Footwall Zone.

The Lower Levack Footwall Zone sulphide mineralization varies from massive chalcopyrite-rich veins with very high metal values (e.g. 31.8% Cu, 2.8% Ni and 48.2 g/t of Pt+Pd+Au over 2.0 ft., - C$2,783 per ton of ore) to stringer string·er

 sulphides with high Pt-Pd-Au tenors (3.45% Cu, 0.3% Ni, 9.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 20.9 ft - C$ 397 per ton of ore). This style of mineralization is similar to the 'Low Sulphide' type characteristic of FNX's McCreedy West PM Deposit which FNX brought into production earlier this year.

This type of low-sulphide mineralization tends to show weaker BH-UTEM responses, but responds very well to RIM surveys. RIM surveys were conducted using boreholes from both the Levack and Craig mines to better position the Levack Footwall Deposit and other possible mineral zones (Figures 3 and 4). The RIM surveys detected a very large, intense anomaly Abnormality or deviation.

KEEL FOOTWALL ZONE

In the January January: see month.  21, 2005 press release, FNX Mining announced high-grade footwall mineralization at approximately the 600 ft level and some 4,000 feet up plunge from the Levack Footwall Deposit (e.g. 20.6% Cu, 1.0% Ni, 5.1 Pt-Pd-Au over 27.9' - C$1,218 per ton of ore). This mineralization, referred to as the Keel Footwall Zone, occurs in the same Sudbury Breccia package as the other footwall deposits.

The 2004 FNX mineralized intersections range from inches to up to 27.9 ft in core length and, together with the results of historic drilling, indicate a strike length of 600 ft in the footwall behind the Levack Main Orebody. The Keel Footwall Zone is open in all directions and warrants extensive additional drilling. It has not been drill tested since the discovery of the Levack Footwall deposit early this year and no drilling is currently planned for the Keel Zone.
