Exploration History

1985: Kennco Exploration cut a 105 line-km grid over a 60 claim unit property. Magnetic, VLF, geological mapping nad humus sampling was completed over portions of the property. 1988: Norex contracted Dighem to fly an airborne EM and magnetometer survey in the area. 990: Noranda Exploration completed geological mapping over the larger 79 claim-unit Grande Portage property. 2005: A single DDH (PEL05-02) in East West Resources' 13 DDH program tested the showing after developing coincident IP and anomalous Au assay from the IF. Geotech Ltd. performed perforned a VTEM survey for Easr West. 2006: Now referred to as the Pele Property, East West Resource Corp commisioned Geosig Inc. to preform 28 km of IP, 34 km of mag/VLF surveys.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 15, 2016 (J Scott) - 1160 ppb Au and 5240 ppb Au in grab samples. From 2005 Drilling: Anomalous gold values were observed throughout the chert magnetite sulfide zone with values up to 5 179 ppb Au (over 1 m) averaging 1 200 ppb over 13 m. Copper, zinc and silver appear to correlate with gold over the same broad interval.
