Knight Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNP) is a Canadian base metal exploration company. The company has a 49 / 51 joint venture with Anglo American Exploration (Canada) Limited ('AAEC') for the exploration of the West Raglan Project, located in northern Quebec, Canada.
West Raglan Project, Quebec
The Cape Smith Belt in northern Quebec has recently emerged as one of the most prospective areas in the world to discover new nickel deposits. Recognizing this, in early 2003 Knight entered into an agreement with Anglo American Exploration (Canada) Limited ('AAEC') to earn a 49% interest in their 720 square kilometre West Raglan Project.
Xstrata’s Raglan nickel mine is located 90 kilometres east of the eastern margin of the West Raglan Project. Resources, reserves and mined ore to date at Raglan total 32 million tonnes averaging 2.8% nickel and 0.8% copper with significant platinum group elements and cobalt.
The known nickel deposits in the Cape Smith Belt occur in two different settings: the Raglan Formation at the base of the Chukotat Group, and the Delta Horizon in the Povungnituk Group. All of Xstrata's resources and reserves are hosted by the Raglan Formation and occur in nine separate deposits over a 55 kilometre strike length.
The objective of the 2007 Program will be to discover new lenses down-dip and along strike at the base of numerous mapped and interpreted ultramafic units throughout the Frontier area. Down-hole pulse EM surveys will be an essential tool in this endeavour. An 8,000 metre drill program is planned for 2007 and the total cost is expected to be approximately $4,500,000.
Anglo American is the operator of the West Raglan Project. The Project is funded 51% by Anglo American and 49% by the Company.
