Point Location Description: Assumed location of Kerr-Addison diamond drill hole KJ-80-3.
Location Method: Field Visit with GPS
Access Description: Access is by way of the main haul road between the town of Sultan and Highway 144. A road heading north towards Opeepeesway Lake begins at about kilometer 43. Old logging roads accessible by ATV off of this road will take you within about 200 m of the showing.
1980: Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. conducted a ground magnetic, electromagnetic, and induced polarization survey over a block of 63 claims located southeast of the Northwest Arm of Opeepeesway Lake. Several geophysical anomalies were outlined and a 4 hole drill program, a total of 623 m, was completed. Drill hole KJ-80-3 reported low anomalous values of zinc and copper (T-2354 / 13). 1982: Granges Exploration performed electromagnetic and magnetic surveys over several properties including claims optioned from Maverick Mountain Resources in south central Osway Township. Granges drilled 1 hole, GOG-1, on their GOG-8 grid located off the southwest shore of Opeepeesway Lake. The conductor was explained by graphitic schist with minor amounts of sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, and arsenopyrite. 1984: Benton Resources Inc. drilled 2 holes, for a total of 305 m, to the southwest of the Northwest Arm of Opeepeesway Lake in west central Osway Township. These holes are reported to have intersected primarily felsic to intermediate pyroclastics. 1985: Blue Falcon Mines Ltd. conducted an airborne magnetic and VLF electromagnetic survey over several townships including Osway Township. 1982-86: Hargor Resources Inc. completed several drill programs on properties in south central Osway Township below Opeepeesway Lake. A total of 12 holes were drilled over this period for a total of about 1012 m. 1988: Canadian Gold Resources drilled one hole for a total of 118 m on a four claim block in southwest Osway Township, just south of an old logging road. No anomalous assay values were reported with the drill logs. 1989: Pioneer Metals Corporation conducted an airborne magnetic and VLF survey over a 17 claim block in an area to the southwest of Opeepeesway Lake. 2007: Augen Gold Corp. performed aerial electromagnetic, aerial magnetic and aerial radiometric surveys (T-5671 / 2.37373). 2008: Augen Gold Corp. performed prospecting and assays (T-5852 / 2.40516).

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Unit of bedded andesitic tuff described as containing chlorite-epidote stringers, quartz veinlets, and hematitic and silicification alteration. Anomalous gold values were reported as occurring in a 4' section (1.22 m) containing a series of 2 mm wide quartz stringers with heavy pyrite mineralization. It is noted in the drill log that this may be a possible shear zone. The bearing of the hole is given as N32E with an initial dip of 50 degrees. The andesitic tuff is reported to have a drill width of 140' (43 m) and the anomalous zone occurs at a drill depth of 100.5' (30.6 m).

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - In general pyrite is described as occurring in fractures and along vein boundaries. Pyrite is said to be fine disseminated to crystalline and rarely massive.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The best assay returned 1.37 g/t Au from andesite.
