NORTHERN RARE EARTH
NABISIPI REE PROJECT
NABISIPI REE PROJECT
Access & Location
- The Nabisipi REE project is situated in Québec’s North Shore Region, approximately 300 km east of Sept-Îles and 100 km east of Havre-St-Pierre. The nearest village, Aguanish, is 20 km east on the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
- Access is convenient via the paved 138 Highway. The property may also be reachable by boat on the Nabisipi River over a distance of 8 km. Additionally, a 6 km ATV trail could potentially be used or refurbished.
- Most necessary mining infrastructure is available nearby, including power lines, a deep-sea port, highways, an airport, and municipal services.
Favorable biotite pegmatite and coarse red granite unit
Geological Setting
- The Nabisipi REE project comprises 42 claims totaling 23,1 km2. encompassing all the favorable granite bodies.
- Regional geology consists of augen granite gneisses, foliated granite gneisses and metamorphised paragneisses.
- All these older rocks are intruded and crosscut by fresh and undeformed irregular masses of biotite pegmatite and alkaline coarse red granite unit.
- NNW folding is present in older rock formations.

Project Potential
- Thorium anomaly maps match almost perfectly previous drilling results obtained by Essex Minerals in 1978. Quartermain outlined the contact between intruding alkaline red granite and country rocks (gneisses).
- Two areas (2) were not assessed so far. Area #1 corresponds to the northern part of the red triangle (alkaline granite). Area #2 is the northernmost tip of the red triangle and comprises an additional untested strong thorium anomaly.
- By adding the 2 southeastern portions of these thorium anomalies already confirmed by Essex Minerals to Area #1, potential size of the mineralized footprint is roughly 850,000 m2 (0.85 km2).
- Not counting Area #2,it represents a potential tonnage of more than 450 M metric tonnes at a depth of 200 m.
