History, regional geology as well as the geology of the claim group area are well covered in a report, dated November 1964 by G.L. Kirwan, B Sc. who examined the claims on November 25 and 26, 1964. During May and June, 1965 a geophysical programme consisting of electromagnetic and magnetometer surveys was carried out by Sheridan Geophysics Ltd. This programme, which is covered in our report of July 8, 1965 located three poor conducters, one of which was found co-related to a minor geochemical indication. It was decided to further investigate this latter anomaly by diamond drilling.
