I agree..this new discovery is ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE NEAR the Coldwell Property.It would appear that the last member mistook this by simply looking at a map and thought they looked "close". I am from Marathon, so I know that Wawa is a 2 hour drive from Marathon and the Wawa belt represents an entirely different geological setting than that of the Coldwell. Never-the-less, it does sound like an interesting prospect doesn't it? Brian

From Geomaque's geology description of Marathon: GEOLOGY The Marathon Project is situated along the eastern edge of the Port Coldwell mafic igneous complex. The Marathon Deposit itself consists of a series of thick lenses of sulphide-bearing olivine gabbro. These are inclined at approximately 35 degrees to the west and they touch the surface on the eastern edge. Most mineralization occurs at the gabbro-footwall contact although smaller, discontinuous lenses of sulphide mineralization also occur at higher levels within the gabbro. The sulphide mineralization is restricted to the layered olivine gabbro, and contains pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite as the predominant sulphide minerals. Bornite, pentlandite, marcasite and pyrite also occur in significant quantities. Concentrations of base and precious metals, copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, silver, cobalt, and rhodium are distributed fairly evenly throughout the sulphide mineralization.

I had my Lakes reversed (my wife always did say pull in and ask directions). The property adjoining Marathon is Moshkinabi Lake not McKewen Lake. The later is a little further east towards Hemlo. The former has the substantial PGE samples consistent with Marathon. I noticed Research Capital was the buyer yesterday in FWR and GEO. I think they are big believers in the potential of this district, and FWR is another play on it. GEO will be conducting a pretty aggressive spring drill program. freewest.com
