We have written a 43-page Update Report on Canadian North Resources Inc. (TSXV: CNRI | OTCQX: CNRSF | FSE: EO0), a Canadian-based mineral exploration and development company that explores for minerals in Nunavut, Canada. Since the Initiation Report that was released last year, CNRI has completed additional exploration and drilling at the 100%-owned Ferguson Lake Project, identified five new near-surface targets for Ni, Cu, Co, Pd, and Pt mineralization in the exploration claims surrounding the mining leases, announced the discovery of granitic pegmatites that potentially contain lithium-bearing minerals, and raised additional capital. This Update Report provides a summary of activities since the Initiation Report as the Company continues to drill to build on the existing mineral resource and de-risk the project. We increased the Target Price to $5.25 from $5.00. [more]
