The property is located in northern Saskatchewan, east of Lake Athabasca, 70 km south of the Northwest Territories border, immediately north of the Fond du Lac River and centred 14 km north-west of the community of Stony Rapids. Stony Rapids has year-round road access and daily scheduled flights to its airport.

The Property consists of four contiguous claims with a combined area of 19,713 ha. It is accessible by float or ski-equipped fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter.

The Fond du Lac Property covers the central portion of a 40 by 10 km layered and differentiated Precambrian ultramafic complex that has been metamorphosed to granulite and amphibolite facies and folded into a broad southeast-plunging synform. This intrusive is within a triangular area of abundant mylonitic rocks known as the East Athabasca mylonite triangle or the Tantato domain. Numerous mafic-ultramafic intrusives known to host magmatic sulphide Ni deposits occur along the Snowbird Tectonic Zone. In addition to the Fond du Lac deposits of Pure Nickel, Strongbow’s Nickel King deposit lies on this emerging Ni belt trending to the north-east with a NI 43-101 compliant Indicated resource of 11.1 million tonnes at 0.40% Ni, 0.10% Cu and 0.018% Co plus an inferred resource of 33.1 Mt at 0.36% Ni, 0.09% Cu and 0.017% Co.

Since the discovery of the sulphide gossan on the shore of Axis Lake in 1929, the Fond du Lac property has been explored utilizing ground and airborne geophysical techniques followed by approximately 9,000m of diamond drilling. Highlights of drilling results include 2.5 % Ni and 0.4 % Cu over a 15.2 metre massive sulphide zone and, elsewhere, disseminated sulphide mineralization vertically continuous from surface for approximately 250m.

Pure Nickel began exploration in 2005 with a VTEM survey covering a 36 by 12 km area and a soil geochemistry program. This was followed in 2006 by a UTEM ground geophysical survey over a 6 by 6 km area and a 2,342m (7 holes) diamond drilling program. All seven holes intersected Ni-Cu sulphide mineralization with up to 1.86 % Ni and 0.45 % Cu. In 2007, a 19-hole 3,127m drill program tested the Rae Lake south sulphide zone and the Axis Lake east sulphide zone. Drilling showed that the Rea Lake mineralized horizon has a strike length of at least 3 kilometres, and included an intersection of 0.15 % Ni and 0.14 % Cu over 41m. Drilling of the main west-east trending Ni-Cu sulphide horizon spanning Axis Lake determined that the norite-hosted mineralization has a strike length of at least 2.5 km, contained disseminated sulphide intervals with a combined thickness of up to 60m and included a 0.15m interval of 1.90 % Ni and 0.38 % Cu.

In 2008, a test ZTEM high-resolution and deep penetrating airborne survey was conducted over an 8 by 10 km area. The results indicated a longer strike continuity of the known Axis and Rae Lake Ni zones than previously interpreted from the previous VTEM results. The survey showed an unexplained, strong ZTEM anomaly extending from surface to more than 500m in depth lying to the north-west of the known Ni zones.
