Point Location Description: Approximate collar locn of Gulf Minerals diamond drill hole HNW-1.
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: The showing is accessed by the Heenan Road off of the Dore Road which begins in Garnet Township just north of the Wakami River. The Dore Road can be accessed from the south via the main haul road between the town of Sultan and Highway 144. From the 1991 MNR air photo, it appears that the Heenan Road comes within a few hundred meters of the showing in northwestern Heenan Township.
1970: U.S. Smelting and Refining Company completed 1 drill hole approx. 300m east of Gulf drill hole. 1976: Gulf Minerals Canada drilled 1 hole totaling 508 ft. into a block of 16 claims in the northwest corner of Heenan Township. 1984: Blue Falcon Mines Ltd. carried out ground geophysics, geological mapping. 1988: A. Hopkins completed airborne geophysical survey over a strip of claims just north of drill hole HNW-1. 1996: Inmet Mining Corporation carried out geological compilation and whole rock sampling.

Jun 29, 2009 (K Houle) - Section of black, hard, and fine grained graphite containing frequent blebs and veinlets of pyrite that make up about 3-5% of the rock. This unit contains frequent calcite stringers proximal to the lower contact. Graphite horizon is hosted within what is described as a black fine grained rhyolite with fracture plains that are frequently coated with graphite. (OFR 5912-1, p. 314)
