The property consists of 47 contiguous mineral claims covering an area of approximately 18,596 hectares in the Omineca Mining Division (NTS 93K13 & 14). The claims are 100% owned by First Point and are subject to an option-joint venture arrangement with Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., whereby Cliffs has been granted the right from First Point to earn a 51% interest in the property by spending $5 million over 4 years. The Decar property is underlain by upper Paleozoic to lower Mesozoic sediments, volcanics and ultramafic intrusives of the Cache Creek Complex that are believed to be an obducted oceanic crustal succession, that is: ophiolite.
