Nanuq North

The Nanuq North Project is located at the head of a well defined kimberlite indicator mineral train. Diamond bearing kimberlites have been discovered on the adjacent Nanuq project and it is believed that this field extends on to the property. A late season drill program discovered kimberlite on the property.

Indicator Minerals and partner Peregrine Diamonds Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PGD) drilled the first kimberlite, NQN-001, on Nanuq North late in the 2008 field season. NQN-001 is interpreted as having a minimum surface area of 4.5 hectares based upon ground magnetic data and drilling information. http://agoracom.com/ir/Peregrine/mes...

Exploration expenditures on the 33,100 hectare Nanuq North property are currently funded on a 50/50 basis by Peregrine and Indicator Minerals Inc. ("Indicator").

Under the terms of a letter agreement, the Hunter Exploration Group ("Hunter") retains a 20 percent interest and Peregrine and Indicator each retain 40 percent interests in 16 claims covering 13,900 hectares, including the claim that hosts NQN-001.

Hunter's 20 percent interest is carried through completion of a scoping study. Peregrine and Indicator each have an undivided 50 percent interest in the remaining 19,200 hectares of claims at Nanuq North.

Indicator is the operator of the project.

Dorset property

Indicator has a 100% interest in the Dorset property which is composed of nine Prospecting Permits totalling 407,700 acres (164,990 Ha). The project is located on the Fox Peninsula of eastern Baffin Island in Nunavut Territory.

Darby Project

The Darby Project hosts a field of diamond bearing kimberlites. Nine kimberlites have been discovered on the property to date and numerous targets remain to be tested. Darby is under option to and fully funded by Teck Cominco Limited.

Borden Project

The Borden Project is located on western Baffin Island on the Borden Peninsula. Kimberlite boulders were discovered while prospecting a geophysical target identified in data collected during this year's airborne magnetic survey.

Kimberlite indicator minerals, including pyrope garnet, have been visually identified in the float. Samples of the kimberlite boulders have been collected for analysis.

The Discovery Group is an alliance of seven companies led by some of the brightest minds in the mineral exploration industry.
