![]() BACKGROUND In September 2007, Temex initiated a program of land acquisition with partner MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. ("MacDonald") in the area of the nickel-copper-platinum group element discovery on the Noront Resources Ltd. ("Noront") Double Eagle Project. Noront has reported several significant drill hole intersections including NOT-07-05 grading 4.1% nickel, 2.2% copper, 2.1 g/t platinum and 7.1 g/t palladium over 117.40 metres (www.norontresources.com corporate presentation January 2008). Temex continued to acquire claims with various partners including MacDonald, Noront, Canadian Orebodies Inc. ("Canadian Orebodies") formerly Baltic Resources Inc. and East West Resource Corporation ("East West"). By September 2008, 9,395 claim units totalling 375,400 acres had been acquired. Temex interests range from residual royalties to 100% interest. Land acquisition focused on acquiring ground that covers regional airborne magnetic signatures interpreted to represent favourable geological units for magmatic sulphide deposits hosted in mafic and ultramafic intrusives, as well as volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization. Furthermore, data compilation allowed Temex to acquire ground with untested direct targets from previous workers. The geological environment is also favourable for mesothermal gold deposits and diamondiferous kimberlites. In the fall of 2007, MacDonald, operator for the Temex / MacDonald partnership, began exploration work on the joint venture claims. This work included line cutting, ground and airborne geophysical surveying. Diamond drilling of two holes commenced in December 2007 and the program is planned to resume in summer 2008. In the winter of 2008, Temex conducted airborne magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical surveying on most of its 100% claims and certain claims subject to earn-ins by partners. Data is being evaluated and will be followed up by ground geophysicsal surveying where warranted and priority targets will be drill tested beginning summer 2008. The area of the Project is part of the traditional land use areas of the communities of Webequie, Marten Falls and Neskantaga First Nations. Contact with these communities is at different stages and Temex is looking forward to advancing mutually beneficial relationships.
