Highlights:
The "Skidder deposit" was discovered by the Asarco/Abitibi-Price Joint Venture in 1970. Asarco drilled 39 holes up to 1975 on the zinc-copper massive suphide prospect. Based upon this work, in 1980 Abitibi estimated a mineral resource at the 'Skidder deposit' of 1 million tonnes grading 2% copper and 2% zinc. Messina cautions that this is an historic estimate of resources and should not be relied upon. Messina has drilled holes at Skidder and generally confirmed the copper and zinc assay grades, but Messina has not done sufficient work to estimate mineral resources.
