These signatures range from isolated magnetic highs to strong dipolar features to elongate dyke-like responses. The Stein project has delivered all three of these emplacement style signatures.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The property consists of four contiguous prospecting permits covering an area of 1,065 square kilometres on the Southern Boothia Peninsula, 45 kilometers from tidewater.
