Access Description: 'At the time of my visit it was possible to drive to the property from Matachewan by jeep via the Ashley road and winter lumbering roads in Argyle Township, a rough ride for a distance of approximately 22 miles. In the summer a trail can be followed west for about 4 miles from Matachewan Lake to the camp on the property in Argyle Township.'

Jan 22, 2016 (A Wilson) - Assays of up to 12.6% Cu, 6.0% Ni, 1.56 oz/ton Pt and 5.52 oz/ton Pd were reported in a sulphide lens within altered dunite at the Kell's showing in the northwestern part of the property. The Kell's Pt-Pd-Cu-Ni showing was found in a 5 foot by 6 foot pit (T-52), 6 feet deep (Figure G-C). A massive sulphide lense strikes 070 degrees and dips 44 degrees south in gabbroic host rock, 12 feet north of altered serpentine rich dunite in trench T- 51. Weak brittle shears strike 15 degrees and dip 65 to 75 degrees east. The joining pattern of the host gabbroic rock unit strikes 250 degrees azimuth, and dips near vertical at 88 degrees north.
May 07, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - In the 1992 exploration programme carried out by Trinity Explorations, channel sample # 886 returned 0.087 oz/t Au, 0.72 oz/t Ag, 5.44 % Cu, 5.32 % Ni, 0.087 oz/t Pt and 0.185 oz/t Pd over 1.3 feet. A second sample (# 887) returned 0.003 oz/t Au, nil Ag, 0.590 % Cu, 0.299 % Ni, 0.004 oz/t Pt and 0.029 oz/t Pd over 3.7 feet. REF: KL 3254, pages 17 and 21; Figure G-C.
