Mustang Minerals Corp. ( TSXV:MUM, Frankfurt:NJF) is focused on development of the Maskwa Nickel Project in Manitoba Canada and is an active exploration company. At Maskwa, in May 2008 ,the Company received positive results from its prefeasibility study at their open pit nickel project.Micon Engineering concluded:"the Maskwa Project contains an economic mineral reserve and warrants continued development to the full feasibility stage". Mustang announced an update to the Makwa Project Economics in March 2010. In February 2010 a revised Mineral Reserve was announced. The Probable Reserve (diluted ) estimate was 9.855Mt grading 0.54% Ni, 0.11% Cu, 0.02% Co and 0.434/t (Pt plus Pd). ( Micon International ) The reserve was updated with revised metal prices including Nickel (USD 9.00/lb), Copper (USD 3.00/lb), Cobalt (20.00/lb), Platinum (1500.00/oz), Palladium (375.00/oz). A dollar exchange rate of 0.90US equaling 1.00CDN was used. The nickel price and exchange rate were within the sensitivity range examined in the Prefeasibility Study of May 2008.

Robex is a junior Canadian mining exploration & development company with nine permits located in Mali, western Africa. Mali is currently Africa’s third most important gold producing country. Three of Robex’s permit are situated in southern Mali (Mininko, Kamasso and N’Golopene) while the six others are located in the western area of the country (Diangounte, Sanoula, Kolomba, Moussala, Wili-Wili and Wili-Wili west). Robex is presently working towards developing its permits which indicate favourable geology with ore potential.The priority permits for Robex are Wili-Wili, Wili-Wili west, as well as Mininko. The latter is host to a potential of an inferred resource of 760,000 ounces of gold with an average grade of 1.0 g/t in accordance with the Canadian standard 43-101 ( see rapport ). Robex is presently completing the Nampala prefeasibility study with the intent of installing a gravimetric mill with a daily capacity of 2,000 tons of ore mineral within the Saprolite.This past October, the engineering-consulting firm GENIVAR, of Québec, reviewed and consequently assessed the three-dimensional resource block-model on the mineralisation of the Nampala deposit. Initially, the three-dimensional resource block-model was completed in the framework of the gold resource estimate (NI 43-101 compliant) completed by the Australian consultant firm RSG Global (now Coffey Mining) completed in 2007. The plan and section review completed by Genivar provided a better understanding of the anticipated gold distribution within the Nampala deposit. With the information available to date, the 200 and 300 lenses situated in the central and western portion of the site indicate that inferred resources are estimated to be at 15,000 ounces of gold for Lens 200 and 71,000 ounces of gold for the Lens 300. The concentration and distribution within these two bodies represents, at present, a marginal economical potential which will be further investigated at a later stage. However, according to the block-model, Lens 100 developed along the eastern flank of the Nampala zone is host to an inferred resource of 675,000 ounces of gold contained within 14,130 Mt of ore at an average grade of 0.93 g/t Au. These resources are located between the surface and the explored depth of 150 meters. In accordance with NI 43-101 standards, the above findings are based on insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and as such, it is uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of a mineral resource.

Strateco Resources is hoping its strategy will help it find uranium ore in the Great White North. Strateco Resources company is exploring for uranium at seven properties in northern Quebec. (Canada is the world's top producer of uranium.) Strateco Resources' most promising site, Matoush, has indicated resources of almost 4,000 pounds and inferred (total possible) resources of 13,000 lbs. One other site, Quenonisca, is being explored for zinc, lead, silver, and copper. Quenonisca is a joint venture with the Quebecois government-owned SOQUEM. None of Strateco Resources' properties are in production.
