Region &
Infrastructure
The area located approximately 100 km (62 miles) northwest of Fort St. James falls within the Omineca Mining Division. This region benefits from good accessibility via paved and gravel roads, as well as helicopter transport. Additionally, Canadian National Railway owns an inactive rail line situated just a short distance to the east of the area. The region is also crossed by hydroelectric power lines, providing a potential source of power for any developments in the area.

Detailed Exploration
Overview of AC/DC Nickel Group - Development Project
The AC/DC Nickel Group consists of five claim blocks in three groups (Hard Nickel Centre, Hard Nickel 3 and Hard Nickel South) in the area surrounding Mount Sidney Williams, in close proximity to the Decar Project and the Baptiste deposit of FPX Nickel Corp (TSXV:FPX).
The Property is road and helicopter accessible from Fort St. James via a network of province-maintained paved roads and forestry-maintained gravel roads. The Canadian National Railway company owns an inactive railway line that passes a short distance east of the Properties.

Geology
The mineral claims are partially underlain by rocks like those hosting the Decar project of FPX Nickel where mineralization includes Nickel, Cobalt, and Chromium At least some of the Nickel mineralization occurs as awaruite which is a naturally occurring Nickel-iron alloy important in the manufacture of environmentally efficient batteries for the electric vehicle markets globally.
History
The earliest publicly available reports of exploration on and around the Property date from 1974 and were focused on evaluating the potential of the area to contain chromite, used in the production of stainless steel, and gold mineralization. Awaruite was first discovered in the area in 1983. Systematic, ground-based exploration work began in the Mount Sidney Williams area claims under the direction of renowned geologist, Ms. Ursula Mowat in 1987, continuing intermittently until 2012.
Decar Project
FPX has invested ~$25 million to explore and develop their Decar Project to date. Our property is partially underlain by rocks like those hosting FPX’s Decar Project
Potential
Metallic mineralization includes Nickel, Cobalt and Chromium Some Nickel mineralization occurs as awaruite, first discovered in the area in 1983
