Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: The area of the Stephen Lake can be accessed via a combination of truck and boat The paved, all season Highway 71 runs north-south along the western boundary of the Dogpaw Property. From there, the grave), but well maintained, Cameron Lake Mine Road extends east from the Highway across the central portion of the Dogpaw Property, to the Cameron Lake Mine, a distance of approximately 25 kilometres. The road is privately owned and maintained by Nuinsco Resources Ltd, and a permit is required to access and travel the road. At kilometer 13 on the Cameron Lake Mine Road a boat is required to traverse Stephen and Little Stephen Lakes to access the Stephen Lake grid. Grid lines llN to 8N can be accessed in this manner. During the winter months a snowmobile can access the grid in the same manner, plus traverse the property all the way to the Starlyght showing via a skidoo trail cut out during the 2004 drill program. An alternative access route to the southern portion of the Stephen Lake grid is via a float plane ride from Nestor Falls to Weisner Lake. The peninsula in the middle of the north shore of Weisner Lake provides easy access into the southern portions of the gridded area.
1960-2: Noranda Mines Ltd. targeted both gold and base metals in two separate areas. In the first, the company did further geological mapping in the area between Derry and Stephen Lakes1975: Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Ltd. conducted an airborne electromagnetic survey directed at base metals at Stephen Lake 1983: Rio Canex Inc. diamond drilled 3 holes at the north end of Weisner Lake on the same zone that had been previously tested for base metals by Noranda. 1984-5: Flint Rock Mines Ltd. did geological mapping and airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveys directed at gold exploration over a claim group between Little Stephen and Weisner Lakes Joe Hinzer and John Temowesky conducted an airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey. 2002: Cunniah Lake Inc. option the property and completed a major property compilation of historical assessment work. 2003. Cunniah Lake Inc commissioned an NI 43-101 compliant report, completed a small reconnaissance prospecting program. 2004: Endurance Golde Corp. optioned the property and carried out a reconnaissance program on the Dogpaw Property, consisting primarily of the location of old showings and verification sampling. Two new gold occurrences were identified during this work one being the Starlyght showing. A flagged grid was places over the showing via compass and chain in the fall of 2003. A subsequent follow-up program of hydraulic washing and channel sampling was completed. A total of 93 samples, totaling 87.5 metres, were cut in fifteen separate channels across the fracture-alteration zone. The 2003 grid was expanded by 25 lin3-km of cut line with 47 km of pole-dipole IP and a seven-hole, 850.4 metre diamond drilling program on the Starlyght showing was undertaken. 2005: Reconnaissance scale mapping at 1:5 000 and 25 m spaced humus sampling was completed over the 2003 cut grid. Five gold showings were uncovered during the mapping: Jest, 709688, 709701, 709660 and 709670. 2007: North American Uranium Corp. completed a 3 hole diamond drilling program during March 2007, in the vicinity of the Starlyght and Weisner Lake North Showings for a total of 765.0 meters.2008: Metals Creek Resources personnel conducted a prospecting program on the Stephen Lake claims as part of a larger program in the Dogpaw Lake area. Gold showing 709701 highlighted in the 2005 work program was renamed the D-zone. 2010: Metals Creek Resources personnel conducted a prospecting/sampling and mapping program.
