Fripp Township
8 priority targets. Zero drilled in 47 years.
Abitibi Greenstone Belt · NTS 42A/06 SW + 42A/03 NW · ~49 km SE of Timmins
Overview
Fripp Township — 8 priority targets. Zero drilled in 47 years.
1,467 ha contiguous block on the southern flank of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt with 8 priority Cu-Ni-PGE/Au targets — none ever drilled despite 47 years of geophysical detection.
Summary
Within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Commercial structure (option, JV, earn-in, royalty, work commitment) is open and negotiable; a full data room is available on request.
Property Setting
A 1,467-ha contiguous block on the southern flank of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, straddling the Kenogamissi Batholith / greenstone contact and the NNW Quartz Lake Fault corridor (~1,160 m post-diabase displacement). 10 operators flew or trenched between 1962 and 2009 — Hollinger, Samim, Melkior — stacking up 8 priority targets spanning VMS Cu-Zn, magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE, and BIF gold.
Samim 1983 lit up two 9+ mho EM conductors in the massive-sulphide range; Melkior 2009 defined a 500×800 m MAG high — none of these targets has ever been drill-tested. Surface showing P.352959 carries Cu-Ni chalcopyrite + pentlandite(?) + pyrrhotite over 1.5 m — the anchor for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE Target T-4.

Geology & Mineralization
Fripp Township lies within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, on map sheet NTS 42A/06 SW + 42A/03 NW, in the ~49 km SE of Timmins corridor. The setting and host stratigraphy are described in the Property Setting section above; the controlling structures, host lithologies and known mineralized horizons referenced in Headline Data are summarised here for technical readers.

Why It Matters
Two 9+ mho EM conductors
Samim 1983 EM-2060B (9.7) & EM-2160E (9.6) sit in the massive-sulphide range — never drilled.
Melkior's untested target
500×800 m MAG high (1400MS) flagged 2009 — still untested 16 years on.
Surface Cu-Ni anchor
P.352959 chalcopyrite + pentlandite(?) + pyrrhotite over 1.5 m — magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE.
Polymetallic optionality
Cu primary, Ni-PGE co-product, Au (BIF) upside, Zn/Pb/Ag/Co secondary.
Timmins doorstep
~49 km SE of a producing camp (Au >70 Moz since 1909) — full drill, lab, fuel.
Clean structure
100% held, no royalties, no back-in — option / JV / earn-in / sale.
