The property was subsequently mapped in the summer of 1946 and drilled in 1947. Garnet Gold Mines Ltd. drilled 13 holes on their property for a total of approximately 9600' (2926m). One hole encountered a silicified zone reported to contain molybdenite. 1947: Groundhog Mining Corp. – GL. 1966 Kukatush Mining Corporation Ont. Ltd. drilled one hole on a property south of Keith Lake on what was previously the eastern edge of the Garnet Gold property.
