About Spider Resources Inc.
Spider Resources Inc. is the "Spark that set off the Ring of Fire".

Regional geophysical surveys and other exploration efforts as initially conducted by Spider formed the exploration data-set that led to the first discovery of chromite in the area in February 2006, in a peridotite intrusion, and about a year later led to the eventual discovery of additional chromite deposits and related magmatic massive sulphide nickel deposits by others.
