Point Location Description: Outcrop west of a creek. The position was transferred from the OGS map 2070.
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: Access is relatively difficult requiring a one kilometre traverse from the southwest end of Bayly Lake. Bayly Lake can be accessed from the northeast via the Dore road.
1929 Early geology maps indicate that the iron formation around Yarwood Lake has been staked since prior to 1929, as a possible iron source. Although it has been reported that the iron formation has been observed to be pitted and trenched at several locations, no record of the actual work exists in the public domain. 1966 It has been reported that the Canadian Nickel Co. carried out a drill program which intersected the iron prospect documented here. None of the Caninco holes are within 2km of this iron formation. 1983 Dore Exploration carried out a ground VLF electromagnetic survey over the area in the search for gold. Following this in 1984 a geological reconnaissance mapping program was carried out. 1988 Dore Norbaska Resources carried out a VLF electromagnetic and magnetic survey which covered the prospect as part of a gold exploration program.
