LYNN LAKE
Overview: Lynn Lake Project
The Lynn Lake Property is located near the historic mining town of
Lynn Lake, in northern Manitoba, approximately 320 km northwest of the
Thompson mining camp. On January 18th 2011,
Prophecy Platinum Corp. (formerly Pacific Coast Nickel Corp.) entered
into an agreement with Prophecy Coal Corp. (formerly Prophecy Resource
Corp.), whereby Prophecy Coal transferred the right to acquire a 100%
interest of the Lynn Lake Nickel Project to Prophecy Platinum. The
property was operated by Sherritt Gordon Mines Ltd. from 1953 to 1976,
with production of 22.2 million tons at an average grade of 1.023%
nickel (Ni) and 0.535% copper (Cu). The production included material
from the EL Plug that is situated 3.8 km southeast of the A Plug shaft,
with a contribution of up to 1.0 million tons grading 3.25% Ni and 1.09%
Cu. The Property contains eleven zones; A, B, C, D (upper and lower),
E-J, F-K, G, M-N, 0, P, and Disco.

Overview: Lynn Lake Disco Discovery
The Disco deposit was discovered by previous operators on the project
during the spring of 2008. Significant mineralization was intercepted in
15 drillholes; most notably, hole LLN-043 which intercepted 47.1 meters
of 0.7% nickel, 0.5% copper 0.02% cobalt, and LLN-015 which intercepted
18 meters of 1.5% nickel, 0.7% copper and 0.04% cobalt.
Mineralization was intercepted down to 275 meters from the surface and drilling delineated a vertically-extensive mineralized body, truncated by faults to the west and at depth. The morphology, occurrence, and mineralization of the Disco deposit is characteristic of the morphology of the orebodies mined at Lynn Lake during its historic operations; a 24 year period during which more than 20 million tons of nickel was mined. Currently, 22.9 million Measured and Indicated tons of material grading 0.57% nickel and 0.3% copper (1,017,558 Measured and 21,884,121 Indicated) remains in situ on the Lynn Lake nickel property, hosted in the 'N' and 'O' orebodies. (see Prophecy news, February 3, 2010) The Disco deposit is separate from this resource. Read more >>
Highlights:
- Deposit is in mining-friendly Manitoba, Canada and adjacent to a power line, rail line, and airport

Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
Readers should refer to the Company's current technical reports and
other continuous disclosure documents filed by the Company available
on Sedar at www.sedar.com for further information on the mineral
resource estimates of the Company's projects, which are subject to the
qualifications and notes set forth therein, as well as for additional
information relating to the Company more generally. Mineral resources
which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic
viability. Inferred mineral resources have insufficient confidence to
allow the meaningful application of technical and economic parameters or
to enable an evaluation of economic viability suitable for public
disclosure. Neither the Company nor readers can assume that all or any
part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to indicated or
measured mineral resource. Most projects at the inferred mineral
resource stage do not ever achieve successful commercial production.
Each stage of a project is contingent on the positive results of the
previous stage and that there is a significant risk that the results may
not support or justify moving to the next stage.
Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Prophecy Platinum executes a quality control program to ensure best
practice in sampling and analysis. Samples are cut and split for assay
with the remaining sample retained for reference. Blanks, Standard
Reference Material (SRM), and duplicates were inserted into the sample
stream every 20th sample. A duplicate sample is taken every 20th sample
of core. The selected sample is sawn in half and then sawn in half
again. The quartered core is then placed into two different sample bags
with different sample numbers and sealed. The SRM material comes from
Natural Resources Canada and Analytical Solutions Limited. These were
inserted into the sample stream immediately after the second duplicate.
The SRMs used are WMS-1a, WPR-1 and WGB-1. Sample Blanks are obtained
from two sources; granodiorite from a local quarry and garden marble
from hardware stores in Whitehorse, Yukon. A Blank sample is inserted
into the sample stream after the SRM. Assayed samples are transported
in sealed and secured bags for preparation at ALS Chemex Prep Lab
located in Whitehorse, Yukon. Pulverized (pulp) samples are shipped for
analysis to ALS Chemex Assay Laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. ALS Chemex
is an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited laboratory and registered under ISO
9001:2000.
Quality assurance and quality control are monitored using scatterplots,
Thompson-Howarth plots and statistical analysis to ensure duplicates,
blanks and standard data are reliable and indicate robustness of
overall results. ALS Chemex quality-assurance procedures are also
included in this process."
