Sep 08, 2014 (D Draper) - Initial exploration was done to locate and identify an unexplained airborne conductor located on claim P1132819. It was determined that the conductor was in all probability a north north-west trending mineralized sulphide rich iron formation. Hollinger's 1961 geology map of the area suggested that the mineralized sulphide rich iron formation contacts and terminates against a lens of andesite and a north north-west trending quartz feldspar porphyry dyke.
