North Arrow Minerals Inc.’s (“North Arrow”) Mel Project (“Project” or “Property”) is located on the Melville Peninsula, Nunavut, Canada. The property is located approximately 200 km northeast of the Hamlet of Naujaat and 150 km south of the Hamlet of Hall Beach and is comprised of 46 mineral claims covering prospective areas resulting from exploration work conducted between 2013 and 2018. The project area sits within the Qikiqtani region of Nunavut, and most of the Property is covered by Inuit Owned Land (“IOL”) parcel HB-01.The proposed land use activity will consist primarily of drilling, till sampling, prospecting and geophysics. Work will be conducted during the spring and/or summer months of 2019, and beyond, for up to eight weeks at a time. A roughly 12-person exploration camp was built in July 2018 to support fieldwork, and all programs will be helicopter supported. Drilling-related water source locations are yet to be determined and will only be conducted within North Arrow’s mineral claims. Once known, these locations will be provided to the appropriate authorizing agencies (INAC, NWB, and QIA), for reference. Personnel working on the project may vary, and typical personnel requirements will likely include between one and four project geologists or geo-technicians, one helicopter pilot, one helicopter engineer, one cook/first-aid attendant, one wildlife monitor, and three to five drilling crew members. Helicopter flights will be limited, and no low-level flying will be done except during takeoff/landing, and in cases of emergency, when required. Supplies, including fuel, will be mobilized through either Hall Beach or Naujaat.If results from the proposed program are positive, further work may be conducted, including additional drilling, till sampling, prospecting and geophysical surveying.North Arrow hired temporary Wildlife Monitor’s, Expeditor’s and Camp Support personnel from Hall Beach during operations in summer 2018 and will do so again for future programs.
