Junior stakes Otish property

The Northair Group’s Northern Empire Minerals (NEM-V) has acquired, through staking, a 77-sq.-km property in the heart of the Otish Mountains area of Quebec.

The La Croix property is 35 km east of Ashton Mining of Canada‘s (ACA-T) recent kimberlitic discoveries and adjacent to the Portage property of Majescor Resources (MAJ-V) and BHP Diamond. Confirmation of title is subject to final approval by the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources.

Northern Empire views this acquisition as a step in establishing a presence in the emerging Quebec diamond play. The junior has begun preparations for an exploration program of reconnaissance till sampling and geophysical surveys over the La Croix property in the coming months.
