It includes most of subarctic Ontario. . Exploration at Alliance is funded and operated by Trigon Exploration Canada Ltd. ("Trigon") (TSX Venture:TEL TEL Telephone

A program of airborne geophysics, targeted till sampling, and geochemical sampling, led to the identification and staking of three new kimberlite kimberlite: see diamond.

 targets. There are now 58 staked targets at Alliance. The resulting data will assist in prioritizing the kimberlite targets for an early 2006 drilling program.

A 4,680 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey Geophysical survey refers to the systematic collection of geophysical data for spatial studies. Geophysical surveys may use a great variety of sensing instruments, and data may be collected from above or below the Earth's surface or from aerial or marine platforms.  was flown by Trigon using a proprietary high resolution airborne magnetic system over two separate blocks within the Alliance project area. The first block was flown to characterize and better resolve several previously staked magnetic targets. The second block was flown to identify pipe-like targets in an area given the highest exploration priority based on regional indicator mineral results.

Upon completion of the geophysical survey, Trigon performed fieldwork that included prospecting, ground checking of identified airborne magnetic targets, target-specific heavy mineral sampling and mobile metal ion ("MMI (Man Machine Interface) See HMI.

") sampling. Heavy mineral samples were obtained down-ice from 33 high priority geophysical targets, while seven targets were sampled for MMI chemistry. Sampling results are expected before year end.
