In 1939 Sylvanite Gold Mines carried out mapping of the original Cook main zone. This was followed by a limited drilling program totalling 697 ft. The best results included 0.125 oz/ton Au over 2.3 ft. as well as 0.114 oz/ton Au over 0.9 ft. In 1952 Bessey Mining Syndicate set out to reevaluate the main zone with an eight hole drill program totalling 1839 ft. Favourable results were obtained and the project was taken over by Tenendo Mining. Tenendo continued drilling with 11 more holes. Highlights from both drill programs included 4.05 oz/ton Au over 5.0 ft. and 0.225 oz/ton Au over 9.0 ft. In 1984 Albert Decker put a short 101 ft. drill hole into the main zone. No assay data was published. Subsequently Orcana drilled 12 holes in order to reevaluate the work carried out in the 1950's. Highlights include 0.496 oz/ton Au over 3.0 ft. and 0.144 oz/ton Au over 9.0 ft. In 1995 KRL Resources Corp. drilled 3 short, large diameter, shallow holes. Of the 3 holes, Hole 2 intersected the best section averaging 3.67g/tonne Au over 18.5 m.
