Maiden Ore Reserve of 43,200 t Ni, 23,200 t Cu, and 2,160 t Co announced for the Lower Zone, between 500 m and 900 m below surface. An extended Concentrate Sales Agreement was signed with Jinchuan with terms similar to the 2003 Concentrate Sales Agreement.

At their Lanfranchi nickel mine 398,920 t of ore were mined and they contained 10,122 t Ni and 838 t Cu. At Cowan gold and nickel project drill testing of a 11 EM targets occurred during the year and while none resulted in the discovery of new nickel orebodies our understanding of the geology of the tenements has improved, and there remains numerous targets to be drill tested. At Bluebush JV three of the five drill targets identified in our search for Iron Ore Copper Gold style orebodies were tested during the year and one hole confirmed the presence of potential copper-gold host rocks beneath Palaeozoic cover and returned an anomalous intersection of 1m at 0.14 g/t gold from 293 m. The best two anomalies will be drill tested in 2010/11.
