We look forward to Canada Nickel moving the optioned properties to a JV stage ,and to seeing Canada Nickel advance the exploration of the Kingsmill and Mabee Township properties. A budget and plan of exploration will be developed by Canada Nickel. I am confident this will turn out to be a very exciting project."
