A brief description of NAN's key assets
The main asset of NAN is the Storliden copper/zinc mine in the historic Skellefte mining district of northern Sweden. The Storliden mine was discovered in 1998 and put in production in 2002. During 2003, more than 333,000 tonnes of ore from Storliden was treated at the mill in the town of Boliden some 90 kilometres from the mine. On average, the ore from Storliden is grading 9.8 percent zinc and 3.5 percent copper as well as 0.3 grams per tonne gold and 25.4 grams per tonne silver. As of January 1, 2004, the Proved and Probable Ore Reserves at the Storliden Mine were 1,108,000 tonnes.


The Storliden deposit has been developed pursuant to a joint venture agreement between NAN and Boliden whereby Boliden, inter alia, is acting as main contractor and operator. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Boliden has guaranteed the availability of the Boliden mill/concentrator, throughout the life of the Storliden mine. In addition, Boliden's right of first refusal to acquire any base metal deposit found by NAN will cease following the acquisition of Boliden's shares in NAN.

In addition to Storliden, NAN holds exploration permits covering several areas in and around the Skellefte mining district. During the fall of 2004, NAN initiated an exploration programme focusing on several prospective targets. Drilling in the immediate area surrounding the Storliden mine is aimed at extending the life of the mine. Immediately south of the Skellefte mining district is the Lappvattnet copper-nickel prospect within a prolific mineralized area known as the "Nickel Belt". A further area being explored during the coming months is the Copperstone copper project in the northern part of the Skellefte district.
