Chief Property

Girard Iron Property – Nunavik, Northern Quebec

Zone Resources Inc. acquired the Girard Iron Property on March 23, 2011. The iron zones located on the Girard Iron Ore Property are located in the Labrador Trough, a world famous iron ore belt,  northwest of the Lac Otelnuk Project and the Kémag and Labmag projects. The Girard Iron Ore Property has not been subjected to modern exploration methods and only minimal drilling has been carried out in the past. Importantly, the historical results disclosed do not conform to NI 43-101 standards and should only be relied upon for general information purposes.

The Girard Iron Property contains a minimum of 6 zones of iron mineralization that were identified in historic work, completed between 1947 and 1960. The zones of iron mineralization are located over a length of 19 kilometers and a width of up to 5 kilometers. Outcrop is limited and overburden is up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) deep.

The 6 zones of iron mineralization on the property, from south to north, are: the MacDonald, Gagnon, Big Dome, Ball No.1, Ball No. 2 and Girard Lake.

The MacDonald zone was exposed by hand trenching, pitting and small x-ray sized core drilling with holes to a maximum of 100 feet. Trenching, pitting and drilling on the North Zone, where the overburden was the thinnest, extended the iron zone by at least 2,600 feet. Assays from trenches and pits assessed in 1950 ranged from one sample assaying a low of 28.37% iron to a high sample assaying 65.24% iron, with the full range of assays from 4 separate trenches and 13 separate pits.

Ball No. 1 iron zone is approximately 8 km north of the MacDonald zone, in an area of overburden at least 7.6 meters thick. A 1949 analysis of nine samples showed iron content ranging from 28% to 43%. The work done to date consists of 15 test pits covering a length of 800 feet and a width in one place of 600 feet. Between the MacDonald and Ball No. 1 zones are the Big Dome and Gagnon zones. Ball No. 2 zone lies 6 km to the north of Ball No. 1 zone and has eight test pits and trenches over an area of half a mile by half a mile, and reported 35.67% to 45.52% iron in a 1950 analysis.

The Girard Lake zone is 5 km northwest of Ball No. 2 zone and consists of iron formations and magnetite. A 1952 analysis reported preliminary estimates of iron content varied between 60% and 68%. The zone is outlined by pits and trenches in excess of 400 feet, with widths varying from 12 to 40 feet.
