Enerev5 Metals Inc. announced exploration plans for its "Barbara Bay" nickel, copper, cobalt project in Quebec that comprises about 33,200 hectares of contiguous claims. The Barbara Bay property (Figure 1) is located 100 km northeast of Sept Iles, Quebec west of and adjacent to Lake Manitou. The property encompasses the entire contact of the Turtle Anorthosite Complex (TAC). Historic work by Soquem Inc. (Soquem) in the 1990s discovered outcrops of sulphide in anorthosite (see Figure 2) composed mainly of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite and containing anomalous nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and Cobalt (Co).

Although the TAC was fully mapped (Figure 3), very little exploration has occurred at the contact which was considered by Soquem to be favorable for Ni-Cu-Co mineralization (1997).
