The Fraser Morgan project area is 100% owned by Falconbridge and has been the subject of surface and underground exploration programs since its discovery in 1995.

Located on the north range of the Sudbury Igneous Complex approximately 2 kilometres southeast of Fraser mine, the Fraser Morgan project currently hosts four zones of mineralization within a 2.5 kilometre strike length. Resources as of December 31, 2004 totalled 3.3 million tonnes of measured resources grading 1.85% nickel and 0.61% copper, 1.55 million tonnes of indicated resources grading 1.69% nickel and 0.46% copper, and 2.1 million tonnes of inferred resources grading 1.8% nickel and 0.5% copper. Encouraging results in the Sudbury area drilling program continue to reaffirm the local exploration and resource potential. The pre-feasibility study is awaiting the results of a continuing underground exploration drifting and drilling program designed to further evaluate Zone 11 and the area between Zone 9 and 11.
