About Marathon PGM Corporation
The Company has a 100-per-cent interest in the Marathon Project, located
about 10 kilometers north of Marathon, Ont. The project is currently
undergoing a definitive feasibility study and a 40,000 m drill campaign was
completed in September 2007. As announced previously, the Company has
completed a revised preliminary economic assessment in compliance with the
provisions of National Instrument 43-101, showing a measured resource of
39.2 million tonnes containing 1.6 million ounces of PGM and gold and 285
million pounds of copper, and an indicated resource of 28.9 million tonnes
containing 1.1 million ounces of PGM and gold and 178 million pounds of
copper. An additional low-grade resource was also identified in the report
completed by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. and filed on SEDAR on April 5, 2007.
As part of its growth strategy, in April 2007, Marathon entered into an
option agreement with Gossan Resources on the Bird River Project, located in
southeastern Manitoba. Prospecting and data compilation of the Bird River
Project is focused over several key areas, including the Coppermine, Page
East, Page West and Galaxy Zones. Marathon can earn-in up to a total 70%
interest by completing a definitive feasibility study and arranging project
financing. In October 2007, Marathon entered into an agreement with Bird River
Mines Inc on the Ore Fault and Lotus Properties, located on the eastern margin
of Marathon's Bird River Project.
In August 2007, Marathon acquired the Steel Mountain Project in western
Newfoundland and Labrador and has completed the initial phase of exploration
on this 227.5 km(2) property. The Company holds a 100% interest in the Steel
Mountain Project.
