Project - Lodgepole Coal Client - Cline Mining Corporation Project Description Deposit type - Rocky Mountain : Multi Seam : Complex : Metallurgical, PCI, and Thermal
Geology - Mist Mountain Formation of the coal-bearing Kootenay Group in the Crowsnest coalfield.
Location - Fort Steele Mining Division, southeastern British Columbia 31 km southeast of Fernie
The project contains 100 million BCM of inplace coal resources in 8 coal zones or ‘seams’ with open pit mineable Measured and Indicated ROM reserves of 62.4 million tonnes at a strip ratio of 5.2 (BCMW:MTRC). The resource model is based on complex coal modeling techniques using MineSight software. The deposit is rated as ‘Moderate’ (GSC Paper 88-21) The modeling methodology uses the true thickness calculation which is necessary for accurate coal volume calculation in the dipping multiple seam Rocky Mountain coal sequences. A positive Feasibility Study has been completed based on a 2.0 million tonne per year plant with a 20 year mine life. The plan calls for a contract mining operation, an onsite wash plant, dry stacked tailings, trucking to the rail head and a project based load-out. Public meetings and the regulatory approval process is in progress. Environmental studies and technical programs continue.
Description of Work Moose Mountain Associated companies, GR Technical Services and Morris Geological provided full exploration and project support to Cline Mining from the Property of Merit report on to the Reserve estimate and the full Feasibility Study for the project including NI 43-101 Technical Reports. As well as the Geology and Mining, GR Tech coordinated the work of Cline’s other consultants (Processing and Infrastucture) and compiled the full Feasibility Study Report. The only work not included was the Environmental and Regulatory affairs which were done by others.

Project - Rock Creek Creek Client - NovaGold Resources Inc. Project Description Deposit type - Gold deposit : Mineralized veins
Geology - Steeply dipping mineralized shear and tension veins.
Location - The Rock Creek project is located on the Seward Peninsula along the west coast of Alaska, north of Norton Sound. The Rock Creek deposit lies about 10 km north of Nome and is accessed via state maintained roads. The Big Hurrah deposit lies about 80 km east of Nome and is also accessed via state maintained roads
Description of Work Moose Mountain Associates were requested to provide operational planning for the Rock Creek mine prior to commencement of mining. Site visitation and mine model were used to develop detailed pit and road design work, including scheduling for construction material requirements. Access roads and pit limits were redesigned to optimize dump and construction site hauls and minimize ore stockpiling requirements. Productivity tables were developed to allow mine operation personnel to forecast production schedules for various scenarios.
Reports Produced No public documents have been produced to date.
Project - Copper Canyon Client – NovaGold Resources Inc. Project Description Deposit type - The Copper Canyon property hosts an alkaline porphyry-style copper-gold-silver occurrence. Disseminated chalcopyrite mineralization occurs in surface exposures of syenite porphyry in Copper Canyon and Doghouse creeks. Mineralization remains open to the north, northwest, south, southeast, east and down dip.
Geology - The Copper Canyon property contains an alkalic porphyry-type Cu-Au-Ag deposit that is located in the Galore Creek area along the south flank of the Stikine Arch within the Intermountain Belt east of the Coast Range batholithic complex.
Location - Copper Canyon is located in northwestern British Columbia west of the Cassiar Highway and 150 kilometers northeast of the tidewater shipping port of Stewart, B.C. The property directly adjoins the main Galore Creek property
NovaGold is exploring Copper Canyon as part of its overall Galore Creek project.
Description of Work Moose Mountain completed a site visit of the property, which included examining the location, infrastructure, recent exploration work, exposures, and drill core. A resource estimate was completed along with a proposed exploration program. The property was determined to have little immediate impact on the overall Galore Creek project, and as such, become of lesser priority
Reports Produced The following Reports were produced all which are public domain and are available on Nova Gold’s Website or on Sedar - Technical Report - “Geology and Resource Potential of the Copper Canyon Property” 4 February 2005
Project - Kemess North Client - Northgate Minerals Corporation Project Description Deposit type - Copper-gold porphyry typical in the western cordillera.
Geology - Copper-gold mineralization forms an inclined tabular zone in a porphyritic monzodiorite. Overall, sulphide mineralization throughout the deposit consists pyrite, chalcopyrite and traces of molybdenum. Pyrite occurs as disseminations, fracture fillings, and veins up to a few centimetres wide generally associated with quartz-anhydrite-magnetite veins and zones of quartz-magnetite replacement. The mode of occurrence of chalcopyrite is similar except that veinlets are rare and significant disseminations occur in zones of stronger quartz-magnetite stock work and quartz-magnetite replacements. Gold and copper grades variably diminish outward into the hanging wall and footwall.
Location - The Kemess operation is located approximately 430 km northwest of the city of Prince George, British Columbia. The Kemess North project is a new project situated 5.5 km. north of the existing operations.
The project contains 423.9 million tonnes of Proven and Probable open pit reserves at a 0.75:1 strip ratio. The new mine plan will add another 14 years. The plan is migrate the current mining fleet or large sized equipment (260 t trucks with supporting cable and hydraulic shovels) over to Kemess North as the existing Kemess operations is mined out. The mill will be increased from 55000 tpd to 96000 tpd. The Kemess North operation will haul to a pit side crusher and ore will be conveyor the 5.5 km to the existing plant.
Description of Work GR Technical Services, an associated company of Moose Mountain has been providing mining technical support for Northgate’s Kemess operations and also for Resource estimating and mine Engineering for the Kemess North project. Moose Mountain personnel were Geology and Mine Engineering NI 43-101 QP’s in support of the Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility study produced by Hatch on the Kemess Project. Since the January 2005 Feasibility Study, GR Tech/Moose Mountain continues to provide technical services updating the resource model and mine plan for Kemess North as new exploration data becomes available and to accommodate changes in the project scope and currently supporting the EIA and permitting applications.

Project - Malmbjerg Client - International Molybdenum Project Description Deposit type - Mountainous : Intrusive Molybdenum Deposit
Geology - A localized intrusion of Tertiary age plutons and dykes of the Werner Bjerge Complex. A portion of one of these plutons is host to the Malmbjerg deposit.
Location - The Malmbjerg deposit is located about 30 km inland from the east coast of Greenland. The closest settlement is Scoresby Sund, located 190 km to the southeast.
The project contains open pit mineable Measured and Indicated ROM reserves of 164.6 million tonnes at a a grade of 0.186% MoS2 and a strip ratio of 0.98 (t:t). The resource model is based on a 3D Block model supplied by RPA (ROSCOE POSTLE ASSOCIATES INC. The project was converted to MineSight for Mine Planning. A positive Preliminary Feasibility Study has been completed based on a 25,000 tonne per day plant with a 19 year mine life, and a two year pre-plant operation development period. The plan calls for a combined dozer and truck/shovel mining operation, an onsite process plant, an active tailings pond, trucking to port, and barging to off-shore markets. Environmental studies and technical programs continue with aims for a full feasibility study.
Description of Work GR Technical Services, a Moose Mountain affiliated company, provided a scoping level open mine design for the Malmbjerg project as an alternative to previous Underground planning developed by others. The scoping study then justified a Pre-Feasibility Study. For the Pre-Feasibility Study, Moose Mountain provided the open pit mine design including production schedule and associated mining costs for International Molybdenum; as well as a subsequent reserve estimate. The design and reporting was completed to NI43-101 standards and is used as the Mining section of the Pre-Feasibility being compiled by SRK.
