North Arrow Minerals Inc. reported it has staked prospective spodumene bearing pegmatites discovered in the MacKay Lake area of the Northwest Territories, immediately adjacent to the winter road connecting Yellowknife with the Lac de Gras diamond mines. The Mackay pegmatites were identified and staked by North Arrow in an area where, in the 1940's, the Geological Survey of Canada noted tantalite mineralization within tourmaline-muscovite pegmatites. Initial prospecting samples from the pegmatites have been submitted for analysis and results will be reported when received.

The LDG project has an exploration camp and drilling permit in place, with the camp well positioned to support further evaluation of the MacKay spodumene pegmatites, as is the annual Lac de Gras winter road which runs along Mackay Lake immediately adjacent to the newly staked mineral claims.
