Aillik
Primary Target
Uranium
Location
The Aillik property is located near the northeast coast of Labrador approximately 35 km south-southeast of the small coastal community of Postville and 150 km north-northeast of Happy Valley--Goose Bay.
Property Information
The Aillik property comprises 97 mineral claims (24.25 km2) which lie immediately south and east of Aurora Energy Resources Inc.'s (100%-owned subsidiary of Fronteer Development Group, FRG-TSX) extensive mineral land holdings in Labrador's Central Mineral Belt, a region which over the past several years has become a major focus for uranium exploration. It is noteworthy that the Aillik property is situated outside the area of a 3-year moratorium on uranium mining imposed on Labrador Inuit Lands by the Nunatsiavut Government in April 2008.
The Aillik property area has been mapped by the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador as being underlain largely by prospective felsic metavolcanic rocks of the Paleoproterozoic Aillik Group, which hosts Aurora's Michelin and Jacques Lake deposits located 27 km west and 3 km north, respectively, of the Aillik property. Based on Aurora's most recent NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates, the Michelin and Jacques Lake deposits represent some of the world's largest undeveloped uranium resources.
During 2007, exploration work on the Aillik property consisted of a helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric survey accompanied by a limited geological mapping and prospecting program. Large areas of the property are covered by glacial till which obscures the underlying geology. However, a structural interpretation of the airborne geophysical data suggests that in the northern part of the property, an east-west trending 500-1500m wide zone likely represents the eastern strike-extension of the structures hosting Aurora's Michelin, White Bear Lake and Otter Lake deposits just to the west.
Cornerstone owns a 100% interest in the Aillik property with no underlying royalties or encumbrances, and is currently seeking a joint venture partner to advance the project.

Aucoin
Primary Target
Gold
Location
The Aucoin property is located in east-central Labrador, approximately 70 km west of the small coastal community of Hopedale and 235 km north-northwest of Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
Property Information
The Aucoin property comprises 14 mineral claims (3.5 km2), and is targeting mesothermal-style gold in quartz ± carbonate veins. The property is underlain predominantly by Archean granitic gneisses of the Nain Province which are intruded by Lower Proterozoic mafic dykes. A north-south trending zone of anomalous gold in outcrop and soil samples has been traced for 800 m along strike, and remains largely untested.
The Aucoin showing was discovered in 1995 by Ascot Resources Ltd. ("Ascot"). During 1995 and 1996, Ascot completed line cutting, geological mapping and prospecting, soil geochemistry, magnetometer and VLF-EM surveys and diamond drilling (8 short holes totalling 461.7 m). Seven of eight holes intersected gold mineralization, with a best intersection of 4.55 g/t Au over 5.0 m returned from hole AR96-02 within a broader zone that averaged 1.82 g/t over 16.1 m. Drill testing was limited to shallow depths (<= 50 m vertical) along only 100 m of strike length.
Since acquiring the Aucoin property in 2003, Cornerstone has carried out a digital compilation, lake sediment geochemical survey, geological mapping and prospecting, hand trenching and rock sampling. At the Aucoin showing, grab samples containing coarse visible gold have returned high grade gold values up to 477.5 g/t Au, and grab samples at the Turpin showing located 600 m to the south have returned up to 3.09 g/t Au. This latter quartz vein has a minimum width of 8 m, although large portions of the exposed vein appear to be substantially barren. Multiple rock grab samples between the Aucoin and Turpin showings have returned gold values in excess of 1 g/t Au (up to 6.55 g/t Au), indicating an auriferous zone with significant strike length. An approximately 1,000 metre diamond drilling program is proposed to test priority targets.
Cornerstone owns a 100% interest in the Aucoin property subject to a 2% NSR, half of which may be purchased at any time for $1 million, and is currently seeking a joint venture partner to advance the project.

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.| Photo Gallery |
