Hi Bob,

You always have good questions, hein!! Ok, I'll try to give you (and the other the readers too) my view about Midrim.

To identify my targets for PGM prospects, I have used the study ET 91-04 published by the Québec Ministry of Natural Ressources and entitled «Les éléments du groupe platine dans la portion québecoise de la ceinture de roches vertes de l'Abitibi». This study is available on the net version of the MRN database «Examine».

examine.mrn.gouv.qc.ca

In french only! But in a bilingual country, this should not cause any problem hein! (This is my only political statement on this thread!!!)

I have also briefly reviewed actual minings operations for their geological setting. Aurora's prospectus is quite instructive too.

I have arrived to the conclusion that I have look for mafic to ultramafic magmas coming from the mantle (deep origin), which happened to come near the surface (intrusives) within large structures ( large volume of magma too)that has favoured slow cooling and differenciation (rock differenciation aud sulfides concentration). These magmas must not have lost their sulfides on their way up (if they had some!!!!).

The Midrim area meets some of these conditions (Mafic rocks, sulfides, little differentiation). But structures are small (sills, dykes..), which means less volume and rapid cooling.

So, yes there is PGM at Midrim, but according to me not enough volume to deliver a world class mine.

My only target left right now in Québec: The Ungava

But we never know!
