Introduction
South West Greenland

Project Location

 100% interest in a giant property covering 4,983 
km2 of the highly prospective, but underexplored, 
Maniitsoq Impact structure.
 Located on the south west coast of Greenland pack 
ice free all year round due to the presence of the 
Irminger Current, a tributary of the Gulf Stream.

Introduction
 100% ownership of tenements covering the 
Maniitsoq meteorite impact structure.
 High grade and tenor sulphide hosted Ni‐Cu‐Co‐
PGM mineralisation defined at the surface and 
along the length of the structure.
 Located on the ice free southwest coast of 
Greenland, deep water navigable by Panamax 
vessels all year round. The best location in 
Greenland for all year round mining & shipping of 
concentrate.
 Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, 30 minutes by helicopter 
and provides European standard coastal re‐supply 
and logistics facilities 4hrs shipping time.
 Greenland is a pro‐mining country.

NORITE BELT

 Centred on a giant, Archean‐age (~3.0 Ga) impact site ‐
possibly the largest yet identified on Earth (Garde et al., 
2012*).
 Ni‐Cu‐Co‐PGM mineralization (red stars on adjacent 
map) is hosted by norite intrusions (shown in purple on 
the map). These intrusions represent contaminated, 
mantle‐derived, nickel‐rich, ultramafic magma emplaced 
in a conduit system as a result of the impact.
 Norites are post kinematic (i.e. undeformed) and 
commonly contain exotic inclusions (xenoliths) of 
shocked gneissic country rock confirming that they were 
emplaced after the impact in a dynamic flow system.

 Norite intrusions range in size from several square 
meters to 8 km2 and are concentrated in, but not 
exclusive to, a 75 km long by 15 km wide belt known as 
the Greenland Norite Belt.

PROJECT DETAILS

Slide 17
Maniitsoq Ni‐Cu‐Co‐PGM Project
South West Greenland
Project Summary
Deposit type: Magmatic Ni+Cu+Co+PGM sulphide
Minimum deposit size: 10 to 15 Mt @ 1.2% Ni equivalent
Location: Southwest Greenland
Property status: 4,983 km2 in two exclusive mineral exploration licences.
Infrastructure: None but most targets are <50 km from ice‐free tide water.
Previous work: Prospecting and shallow drilling (average hole length <55 m) discovered 
numerous high grade Ni showings in 1960’s and 70’s. Airborne and surface 
geophysical surveys by Cominco and Falconbridge in the1990s failed to 
identify any drill targets.

Exploration rationale: Very possible that economic deposits were missed as 1990’s geophysical 
technology had difficulty in the rugged terrain that characterizes the 
project area. Modern helicopter TEM flown perpendicular to strike at low 
altitude will have a much better chance of locating Ni+Cu+Co+PGM
deposits.

SECTION

Deposit Model
 Giant impact triggers mantle melting.
 Hot ultramafic magma flows to surface through 
a “conduit system” comprised of restricted 
conduits and larger magma chambers.
 Country rock is assimilated by the hot magma 
resulting in sulphur saturation and production of 
a sulphide liquid.

COUNTRY ROCK

 Ni + Cu ± PGE sulphide collects in zones of 
lower velocity within the conduit system.
 Continual magma flow upgrades the nickel tenor 
of sulphide already deposited.
 Magmatism eventually ceases and conduit 
system is preserved as noritic rock.
 Over time, uplift and erosion expose parts of the 
magma conduit system and some of the 
Ni+Cu±PGE sulphides.

Helicopter TEM
• SkyTEM and VTEM helicopter‐borne TEM surveys 
flown by NAN in 2011 and 2012 have detected 
over 75 conductive zones (circled in red on the 
adjacent map).
• This technology was not available to previous 
explorers.
• NAN has flown the areas outlined in green, 
which total 860 km2 and cover a major portion of 
the Greenland Norite Belt.
• To date over 75 conductive zones have been 
identified (circled in red on map).

holes FoII‐1 and 2.
Also to test VTEM conductor P‐59 located 250 m

RESULTS:
Anomalous mineralization intersected 40 m 
beneath historical Fossilik II drill holes. BHEM 
data indicates mineralization is not extensive.
Conductor P‐59 was not intersected. BHEM 
indicates top of VTEM conductor is deeper than 
originally interpreted. Deeper drilling may be 
warranted.

  • 18. Maniitsoq Ni‐Cu‐Co‐PGM Project South West Greenland Project Summary Deposit type: Magmatic Ni+Cu+Co+PGM sulphide Minimum deposit size: 10 to 15 Mt @ 1.2% Ni equivalent Location: Southwest Greenland Property status: 4,983 km2 in two exclusive mineral exploration licences. Infrastructure: None but most targets are <50 km from ice‐free tide water. Previous work: Prospecting and shallow drilling (average hole length <55 m) discovered  numerous high grade Ni showings in 1960’s and 70’s. Airborne and surface  geophysical surveys by Cominco and Falconbridge in the1990s failed to  identify any drill targets. Exploration rationale: Very possible that economic deposits were missed as 1990’s geophysical  technology had difficulty in the rugged terrain that characterizes the  project area. Modern helicopter TEM flown perpendicular to strike at low  altitude will have a much better chance of locating Ni+Cu+Co+PGM deposits.

Maniitsoq Ni‐Cu‐Co‐PGM Project South West Greenland Fossilik II Drilling Vertical Cross Section (Looking Northeast) PURPOSE: To test VTEM conductor associated with the  Fossilik II gossan and mineralized historical drill  holes FoII‐1 and 2. Also to test VTEM conductor P‐59 located 250 m  NW of Fossilik II.  RESULTS: Anomalous mineralization intersected 40 m  beneath historical Fossilik II drill holes. BHEM  data indicates mineralization is not extensive. Conductor P‐59 was not intersected. BHEM  indicates top of VTEM conductor is deeper than  originally interpreted. Deeper drilling may be  warranted. Surface Plan Map Fossilik II Slide 37
