Resource estimate update, site planning, waste management and environmental studies are expected to be completed in Q2 2012. Permitting and a production decision are expected at Broken Hammer in 2012. The Broken Hammer Resource forms a surface zone of vein and vein stockwork-hosted copper-PGE mineralization and has a NI 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource of 251,000 tonnes averaging 3.80 g/t total precious metals ("TPM" = Pt + Pd + Au, 1.56 g/t Pd, 1.62 g/t Pt, and 0.61 g/t Au), 1.00% Cu, and 0.10% Ni (David Rennie, P.Geo., 2005). This resource estimate was prepared in 2005 using a cut-off value of $40 per tonne and the then prevailing, long-term metal price projections of US$800/oz for Pt, US$180/oz for Pd, US$400/oz for Au, US$1.40/lb for Cu and US$5.00 for Ni. Wallbridge owns 98.5% of Broken Hammer with Xstrata Nickel holding a 1.5% carried interest and some buy-back provisions. Significantly, the deposit remains open to depth and is interpreted to be part of a much larger mineralized system with large-scale exploration upside. Drilling to test the broader potential of the property is planned below and near the Broken Hammer resource in 2012. |
