The Pine Hill Nord property lies to the north of the LG-3 reservoir in the James Bay region of Quebec, about 150 km east of Radisson. The property consists of 85 contiguous map-designated claims covering a total area of 42.85 km2.  It is wholly-owned by NQ Exploration Inc. and is subject to a 2% NSR royalty.

From a geological perspective, the property lies in the southern section of the Archean-age Bienville plutonic subprovince, about 30 km north of the contact with the La Grande subprovince. The intrusive rocks in the area are the quartz monzodiorites, monzonites and biotite monzodiorites of the Radisson pluton, which make up 95% of the property. These are cut by Proterozoic diabase dikes striking NNW.

The Pine Hill Nord property remains relatively unexplored. In the 1970s, it was covered by a regional lake sediment geochemical survey performed by Societe de developpement de la Baie-James (SDBJ). This survey identified a gold anomaly to the west of the property, which prompted the staking of the property. Detailed lake sediment sampling was performed by Everton Resources Inc. on the property in 2007.  The preliminary results of this survey revealed the presence of significant gold, uranium and molybdenum anomalies, some of which are among the strongest seen to date in the James Bay area.

The reconnaissance work performed by NQ Exploration in 2008 was aimed at identifying the sources of the anomalies. The program, which consisted of prospecting and reconnaissance geology followed by a helicopter-borne MAG-radiometry survey, led to the discovery of a field of uranium-bearing pegmatites characterized by readings of up to 1,250 counts per second (Radiation Solution RS-120).  The prospecting work failed to identify the source of large molybdenum and rare earth anomalies in the lake-bottom sediments, as the area in question is covered by large glacial deposits. In all, 37 samples were collected and analyzed for economic minerals, but no showings were identified. Nevertheless, the summer 2008 program showed that the geological setting of the Pine Hill Nord property is favourable to the discovery of uranium and molybdenum deposits.

The airborne geophysical survey performed in October 2008 revealed the presence of numerous fair-sized radiometry anomalies. The interpretation report highlighted one top-priority uranium anomaly in the centre of the property, as well as two second-priority targets.
