Location

The 52.5 km² Garland property is located approximately 30 km south of Voisey's Bay. It consists of three licences covering the on-strike extensions of a series of AMT anomalies detected by an Inco Audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) survey completed in 2000. It is 100% owned by Cornerstone.

Property Information
In 2000, Inco completed AMT surveys over the area including areas covered by the current Cornerstone property. This work identified anomalies defined as a series of zones of higher conductivity interpreted to lie at a depths greater than 800 m. Reports filed by Inco with the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador in 2001 indicate areas surrounding the AMT anomalies are locally underlain by troctolitic rocks considered favourable for hosting Voisey's Bay style Ni sulphide mineralization. Cornesrtone acquired the current property in 2005 in

advance of Inco staking more than 1,700 km2 south of Voisey's Bay which surrounds Cornerstone's property. Inco's staking is considered an endorsement of the exploration potential of the area, which has been highlighted by several public statements made by Inco executives about the Garland area. Cornerstone, together with Inco and former joint venture partner Celtic Minerals, completed an airborne gravity gradiometry survey over the project during the first half of 2006.

The AGG survey was undertaken to detect high density zones (gravity highs) reflective of underlying troctolitic rocks similar to those which host the nearby Voisey's Bay deposit. Results for the survey have identified a series of gravity anomalies potentially associated with buried troctolitic rocks, including an east-west elongated gravity high measuring 1.5 km x 2.5 km on the northern claim block; and a 3 km x 2 km anomaly on the southern claim block, straddling the joint venture's southern boundary with Inco claims.
