Location

Township or Area: Lackner

Latitude: 47° 48' 40.1"    Longitude: -83° 6' 13.13"

UTM Zone: 17    Easting: 342509   Northing: 5297452    UTM Datum: NAD83

Resident Geologist District: Timmins

NTS Grid: 41O14SE

Point Location Description: approximate

Location Method: Based on Assessment

Access Description: Access to the property is gained by travelling south on a logging road just east of the Borden lake campground. From the turnoff, travel south for 15 km to the turnoff for the Multi-minerals access road. Travel the Multi-Minerals road for 1 km, and turn a sharp right onto an access road for a distance of 2 km to where the road ends. The Pole Lake access trail begins at this location and continues north for 2 km. The trail then turns east and follows the canyon ridge north to a steep drainage creek down to Pole (Longwell) Lake.
