The Graal
A Strategic Move to add Discoveries
We are advancing the Graal project towards production to meet the rising demand for Critical Minerals from Safe Jurisdictions
Evidence points to a large deposit of high-grade nickel, copper and cobalt near surface with showings of platinum and palladium and potential for a significant deposit at depth.
The property is ideally located close to major battery manufacturing infrastructure with access to ports
Work in the coming year will focus on exploration drilling aimed at expanding the size of the mineralized deposit area and delivering a maiden resource report

Strategy
The Company has conducted a 16,000m drill program at Graal
The program targeted the Bouguer Anomaly. The company is seeking to identify significant amounts of nickel-copper-sulphide mineralization at the base of the magmatic chamber.
Early-stage drill results have been excellent
Initial drilling intersected massive sulphides proven with detailed assays showing 1.12% NiEq over 28.9m mostly at shallow depths of only 50 to 100m.

History
Historical exploration on the property encountered numerous encouraging showings of nickel, copper and cobalt.
However, the property was sparsely explored, with up to 800m drill hole spacing or more, and the deepest hole investigated at merely a 100m vertical depth, leaving a lot of ground to investigate more thoroughly.

Geology
The Graal property, located in the Lac St-Jean region southeast of the Lac a Paul Arianne Phosphate deposit and 160 km north-northeast of the city of Saguenay, comprises 87 owned and 23 optioned claims covering 6,113 hectares.
