DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED 2019-2020 WINTER ACTIVITIES FOR THE FERGUSON LAKE PROJECTCanadian North Resources and Development Corp (CNRD) wishes to complete work on its Ferguson Lake camp and project during the winter of 2019-20. The camp is located approximately 250 km west of Rankin Inlet and 200 km south of Baker Lake. CNRD requests to transport over an ice and snow road/route from Baker Lake to the Ferguson Lake camp. Work is to be completed by Peter's Expediting Limited (PEL) out of Baker Lake which will entail the overland transport of 120 barrels of fuel in two trips into the camp which will be stored in the lined permitted berm at the camp. Peter’s Expediting holds a ROW permit issued by the Kivalliq Inuit Association active until April 2021 for the route between Baker Lake and Ferguson Lake. During the undertaking, empty shipping containers as well will be towed into the camp to be loaded and used for the transport of waste materials stored at the camp out to Baker Lake at the request of INAC Land Administration Branch and the Kivalliq Inuit Association. The waste material will be shipped south the following summer. The scale of the project requires four overland trips using at least two full size snow tracked vehicles per trip. There will be no construction of new infrastructure and it will require approximately 4-6 personnel per trip. In addition during this work, under direction by INAC, the rock crusher which formally belonged to Starfield Resources and presently located about 100 kilometres west of Rankin Inlet will be retrieved and brought to the camp by PEL under as well LUP #N2013X0023 which has been extended to March 16, 2021. FERGUSON LAKE PROJECT AND PROPERTY DESCRIPTIONThe Ferguson Lake Project is an advanced Ni-Cu-Co-PGE exploration property 100% held by private Ontario incorporated company Canadian North Resources and Development Corp. (CNRD). Between the years 1949-57 the property area was explored by INCO then it was acquired by Starfield Resources Inc. in 1999 whereupon a number of different exploration methods were used to study and advance the project including airborne and surface geophysical surveys, surface geochemistry programs and diamond drilling. CNRD acquired the project from Starfield under bankrupcy protection in June, 2013. The Ferguson Lake property consists of 29 active mineral claims and 10 mining leases comprising an area of 28,128 hectares (69,476 acres) 100% held by Canadian North Resources and Development Corporation (CNRD). The property is located in the Kivalliq region of southern Nunavut Territory some 240 kilometres west of Rankin Inlet and 160 kilometres south‐southwest of Baker Lake. Ferguson Lake, central to the large property area, is midway between Yathkyed and Qamanirjuaq Lakes. The property encompasses an area consisting of three contiguous claim blocks plus one block of contiguous mining leases extending across and south of Ferguson Lake between latitudes 62°30’ and 62°55’ North and longitudes 96°10’ and 97°30’ West in NTS map‐areas 65I/10‐16 (UTM coordinates 6945000–6978000N, 585000–625000E – Zone 14). The mining leases consist of 11,456 hectares (23,935 acres) and cover the Ni-Cu-Co-PGE Ferguson Lake Deposit which extends east-west for 12 km from seven km west to 2 km east of Ferguson Lake. The mining leases are located predominately on Kivalliq Inuit Association (KIA) surface rights owned land (RI-24, RI-25, RI-26 and RI-27).The following Commercial, Land Use and Right of Way permits, enabling work, water use, and travel to be conducted over the mining leases, claims, and Prospecting Permit areas, are issued by the Kivalliq Inuit Association (KIA), Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), and Nunavut Water Board (NWB).•KVCL305H27Expires July 22, 2022•KVCA08Q17Expires September 11, 2020 •KVRW06F09Expires October 17, 2019 (request for extension submitted)•2BE-FER1318 TYPE “B”Expires December 11, 2023•N2013X0023Expires March 16, 2021
