Property NewsOctober 14, 2009 Canadian Royalties reported the results of an initial resource estimate commissioned specifically to evaluate the scenario of potentially mining its wholly-owned and near-surface Puimajuq deposit using open pit mining methods. The high-grade Puimajuq resource estimate adds approximately 7.5 million pounds of contained nickel metal and 12.6 million pounds of contained copper metal to the Nunavik's indicated resource contained metal inventories. Contained metal in measured and indicated resources now
totals approximately 204,000 tonnes of nickel, 252,000 tonnes of copper, 380,000 ounces of platinum and 1,539,000 ounces of palladium, while inferred resources comprise approximately 38,000 tonnes of nickel, 48,000 tonnes of copper, 85,000 ounces of platinum and 343,000 ounces of palladium.

Compared to the 2008 underground resource estimate, contained nickel metal in measured and indicated resources has increased 45.5% while copper has increased 53.8%. The measured and indicated base metal resources are also complemented by approximately 71,000 ounces of contained platinum and 311,000 ounces of contained palladium. The Allammaq deposit remains open to the east for further expansion.
