The property was originally staked during the 1906-1907 Larder Lake gold rush and was subsequently restaked and explored several times. Walsh Katrine Gold Mines Limited sank a two-compartment shaft to a depth of 515 feet in 1924 with levels at 140', 250', 375', and 500' depths. In 1933, two ore samples, one 3000 lbs. and the other 300 lbs. were shipped to the former Ontario Government Labs in Toronto for processing by Northern Metals Limited. The samples assayed 0.11 ounce Au per ton and 1.87 ounces Au per ton, respectively. One of the better results of diamond drilling by Canper Resources Inc. in 1986 was 47.29 g/t Au over 2.5 feet (www.katrineexploration.com). 2001: Property examination and sampling by Katrine Exploration and CJP Exploration. Sample from the #1 vein assayed to 2606 ppb Au. 2002-2003: Prospecting by CJP Exploration. The best assay was 2880 ppb Au.

Dec 07, 2005 (G Meyer) - The property is underlain by a syenite porphyry intrusion, which occupies about 65% of the property, with the remainder underlain by andesite. Knight (1920) of the Ontario Bureau of Mines visited the property while the Nipissing Mining Company worked the property. He noted the following: The veins on which most of the work was done occur on a hill which rises some 35 feet above a shallow, weedy pond about an eighth of a mile in diameter. The rocks on the southwest face of this hill are impregnated with ankerite, or other iron bearing carbonate, which has caused them to become rusty. There are four main veins on this hill, striking about north 25 degreeswest magnetic, and dipping about vertically. These veins vary in width from a few inches to 4 to 5 feet or more. One of them has been traced for 400 feet, and is probably longer. The veins consist mainly of quartz, and contain also iron pyrites, copper pyrites, specularite, galena and at times considerable ankerite or other similar carbonate.
