Goodnews Bay Platinum Project Alaska
PFN and Stillwater are exploring the Goodnews Bay Platinum
Project where numerous rock, shallow soil and deep auger
overburden samples have been taken in the Red Mountain and Susie
Mountain target areas. This sampling program was completed in
2006 and 2007 and resulted in definition of drilling targets at
both Red Mountain and Susie Mountain.
A $1,000,000 budget has commenced with the objective to drill
two or more established targets and to define additional new PGM mineralization.
Coldwell, PGM Project
The Project is within the Alkaline Coldwell Intrusive Complex
which hosts a number of PGE and Copper showings and occurrences.
Analytical results of lake bottom sediments and prospecting
samples collected in September have been sent for assay. A 3,100
line kilometre VTEM airborne survey is presently being flown by
Geotech Limited of Aurora, Ontario. According to Mr. John Londry,
VP Exploration, "this survey will enhance and better define the
mineralized zones and structure of the Eastern Border
Gabbrolithology and its extensions associated within the
Coldwell Complex".
The PGE and Copper mineralization in the Coldwell has been
associated with the Eastern Border Gabbro unit which hosts
Benton Resources Ltd 's Skipper Lake, Four Dam Lake occurrences
within the Bermuda Property, as well as Marathon PGM
Corporation's PGE-Cu Project.

River Valley
Project, Sudbury, Ontario
PFN is exploring the River Valley projected with joint venture
partner Anglo Platinum. Anglo Platinum has committed over $22
million to the River Valley project to date and may earn a 60%
interest in the project by completing a feasibility study and a
65% interest by funding to production.
Measured and indicated resources stand at 30.5 million tonnes
containing 953,900 ozs of palladium (0.97 g/t), 329,500 ozs of
platinum (0.34 g/t) and 59,500 ozs of gold (0.061 g/t).
Due to demand and recent price increases of PGM's, PFN is
re-evaluating the River Valley deposit.
|
|
2008 Objectives:
-
Current review
of Project economics
-
Re-evaluating the higher grade core
-
Potential to expand the current resource
(shallow drilling)
-
Deep Drilling with objective to outline
higher grades and different styles of mineralization

West Timmins Nickel
Project, Ontario
The West Timmins project is located adjacent to Xstrata's
Montcalm deposit. The deposit contains an estimated resource of
3.7 million tonnes of nickel/copper sulphide. The Montcalm Mine
has an expected life of 3.5 years.
|
|
The West Timmins project was obtained via a
joint venture with Xstrata Nickel whereby PFN may earn a 100%
interest by spending $4 million over a four year period. Xstrata
may earn up to 65% interest by either completing a feasibility
study or spending $20 million on a feasibility study. PFN is the
project operator.
PFN has begun a UTEM geophysical program to identify further
diamond drill locations for 2008.

|
SOQUEM is a government agency with a mandate
to discover and develop mining projects in Quebec. PFN and
SOQUEM has continued to evaluate potential PGM properties in the
Province of Quebec in 2008 under their cooperation agreement.
Specific targets have been defined and work has begun on the
targets in the Taureau and Cheneville regions.

Platinum Group Metals
PGM Properties &
Applications
-
Platinum metals have outstanding catalytic
properties and are highly resistant to wear and tarnish,
making Platinum and Palladium well suited for Fine Jewellery
-
Since 1979, the automotive industry has
emerged as the principal consumer of PGM's primarily with
Pd, Pt, and Rh being used as oxidation catalysts in
catalytic converters to lower automobile exhaust emissions
-
A wide range of PGM metal alloy compositions
are used in mobile phones, auto electronics and semi
conductors
-
Palladium 103, a radioactive isotope of
palladium, is seeing promising applications in the treatment
of prostate cancer, with potential use for the treatment of
breast cancer
