In April 2009, Noront discovered a vanadium-, titanium- and iron-mineralized occurrence when testing a prominent north-south trending magnetic anomaly approximately 14 kilometres northeast of Eagle's Nest. The anomaly measures seven kilometres along strike and more than three kilometres across.
A total of 7 holes (approximately 3,000 metres of drilling) have tested targets in this region. Three holes intersected significant vanadium, titanium and iron mineralization defining a main mineralized zone measuring more than one kilometre along strike, parallel to the strike of the magnetic anomaly. This zone is referred to as the main Thunderbird mineralized occurrence. Two of these holes intersected two distinct lenses of mineralization, measuring between 165-175m and between 100-115m in down-hole length, respectively, and the third hole intersected a single lens measuring more than 200 metres in down-hole length. Vanadium grades typically range from 0.30% to more than 0.60% (V2O5) and titanium grades typically range from 2.5% to more than 4.5% (TiO2). Two additional holes were drilled on the extremities of the Thunderbird magnetic anomaly. These holes contained similar iron grades to the main Thunderbird mineralized zones, but contained higher titanium grades and lower vanadium grades than typically seen.
