The photo shows bags of apatite concentrate produced from the Prairie Lake carbonatite. To date metallurgical studies have succeeded in producing concentrate grades exceeding 30% phosphate - at 30% P2O5 the concentrate contains 75%, or more, apatite. The concentrate also contains significant rare earth element content - particularly neodymium and praesodymium. Metallurgical studies are continuing - the intent is to improve grade and efficiency. Phosphate and REEs are minerals critical to global agriculture and to applications in new technologies to meet climate goals. Prairie Lake is potentially a very significant source of these critical minerals and thus a very significant asset to Nuinsco. #criticalminerals, #mineralexploration, #phosphate, #rareearthelements

This is a spectacular sample collected from the Prairie Lake complex - it is syenite, containing abundant very coarse grained wollastonite crystals (the elongate, pale grey crystals). Wollastonite has a host of industrial applications in ceramics, plastics, paint, metallurgy, and construction. Although not presently a focus of evaluation the presence of the wollastonite mineralization does highlight the exceptional, abundant, and diverse opportunities for economic mineralization at the Prairie Lake project. Although syenite is a minor lithological component at Prairie Lake wollastonite mineralization is widespread in other rock types, particularly ijolite, where it has been observed in outcrop and drill core. Up to 75% wollastonite has been recorded in ijolite samples. Besides forming the core of the complex and comprising a major lithologiical constituent, ijolite also contains abundant apatite - the phosphate and REE bearing mineral that is of such significant economic interest at the project.

Making outcrop at Prairie Lake phosphate, rare earth element project recently. Exposed, weathered carbonatite about to be sampled. Typically near surface the carbonatite is heavily weathered to a friable, coarse sand (in places to greater than two metres depth) - comparatively easy to sample once it is exposed.

The photo may look a bit mundane but it demonstrates the great location of the Prairie Lake Project. The view is of the junction of the TransCanada Hwy (Hwy 17), and to the left (where the truck is parked) the Deadhorse Creek Road that provides direct, year-round, access to the Prairie Lake Project. The Canadian Pacific railway line and the north shore of Lake Superior are to the right of the view. The junction is located about midway between the towns of Marathon and Terrace Bay, Ontario (both about 40km distant). Marathon has deep water port facilities. The logistics of the project really are excellent.

Continuing field work at Prairie Lake. Accessing the north part of the Complex where extensive cover results in poor outcrop exposure and limited historic sampling. Access is good along historic trails. Strongly anomalous phosphate, niobium and rare earth geochemical results have been obtained from this area making it a prospective area for extending mineralization northward from the mineral resource located to the south.
