1926: 8 claims were staked by McCallum Red Lake Mines Ltd. c.1930: Stripping and trenching. 1933: Part of the present property held by Wilson Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. 1941-42: Diamond drilling. 1943-44: McFinley Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. acquired various groups of claims from the above companies. After various re-organizations, the company became known as McFinley Mines Ltd. 1944-45: Magnetometer survey, geological mapping, trenching. 1944-46: Diamond drilling totalling 14822.1 m. 1957: Shaft completed to a depth of 129.0 m, with levels at 45.75 m, 84.0 m and 122.0 m. Total of 428.4 m of underground development and 894.2 m of underground diamond drilling. 1975: Magnetometer and EM surveys, 25 drill holes totalling 2578.65 m. 1981: Bulk sampling. 1983: Diamond drilling by McFinley Mines seven DDH for a total of 646 m. 1984-1985 An agreement with Phoenix Gold Mines Ltd. allowed the reopening of the McFinley Shaft (now called the Phoenix Shaft) and completion of a total of 479m (1,570 ft) of drifting and crosscutting on the 150ft (46m) and 400ft (122m) levels. Metallurgical work and mineral processing were carried out. Eighty underground drillholes totalling 1,829m (6,000 ft) and sixty-nine surface holes totalling 10,628m (34,870 ft) of diamond drilling were completed. Funding difficulties resulted in the project being placed on temporary standby in February 1985. 1985-1987A total of 1,151m (3,775 ft) of drifting and crosscutting was carried out on the 150 and 400 levels. 7,111m (23,333 ft) of underground drilling, 9.14m (30 ft) of raising and an extensive chip-sampling program were completed. A program of 12,763m (41,874 ft) of diamond drilling was also completed in 61 surface holes. 1987-1989 In recognition of a nugget effect in sampling results, a decision was made to proceed with a minimum 15,000 ton bulk sample. Bulk sampling operations commenced in July 1988 with sampling indicating head grades in the range of 0.25 oz Au/ton (8.23 g/t) from prepared stope areas An estimated 54,864m (180,000 ft) of core is stored on the property. 1999-2002 DGC foreclosed on the Licenses of Occupation and Mining Lease and was awarded title to the lake-covered portion of the Phoenix Gold Project in 1999 and 2002 respectively. DGC and its subsidiary were subsequently awarded title to the Patented Claims of the Project in 2002. 2002 Rubicon acquired the property Since 2002 and up to 28 February 2011, Rubicon has completed 313,030 metres of diamond drilling (182,802 metres of surface drilling and 130,228 metres of underground drilling) to February 28, 2011 on the Property. During this period, 239,000 metres were drilled on the F2 Gold System. 2009 Gold Corp Drilled 7 holes on their adjacent property, on ice pads. Drilling the border of Goldcorp and Rubicon claims. They were targeting the same F2 zone to find the extension onto the Gold Corp Property.

Feb 24, 2012 (A McKee) - Lower Balmer rock assemblages that consist in mafic volcanics, predominately fine grained, pillowed or massive flows such as basalts, which surround a large and parallel package of Ultramafic rocks as a mix of talc schists, komatiitic basalt and peridotitic komatiites. These ultramafic rocks are believed to be intrusives and relatively correspond to the high magnetic anomaly that is a primary signature of the East Bay Deformation Zone. A prime target through this area is the Low Mag Anomalies observed along the high magnetic signature. These low Mag Anomalies are related to slightly discordant dykes or intrusions of felsic rock described as quartz porphyry, to which replacement and injection of very siliceous material, quartz veins or quartz floodings is associated to. Usually, this hydrothermal activity has for effect to destroy the talc out the rock and give it an emerald green coloration given by the chlorite and actinolite. (taken from assessment file 2.42806
Feb 24, 2012 (A McKee) - 2008 Rubicon discovered new F-2 Zone. Results include 156.0 g/t gold over 4.0 metres (4.55 oz/ton gold over 13.1 feet) in shallow southern extension and 90.9 g/t gold over 0.5 metres (2.65 oz/ton gold over 1.6 feet) and 184.7 g/t gold over 0.5 (5.39 oz/ton gold over 1.6 feet) metres in deeper drilling 2009 Gold Corp drill holes reported assays up to and including 52.29 g/t over 0.6 m, 75.84 g/t over 0.97 m and 80.77 g/t over 0.8 m. Several occurrences of visible gold also reported.
