Aug 23, 2012 (D Draper) - The gold occurrence is described as quartz veining striking N15E and dipping 65E within a 18-foot wide shear zone. Exposed by several pits and trenches, the vein has been traced up to 120 ft long and 36 in wide. Wall rock is chlorite schist. The copper occurrence is found in an outcrop of gabbro 300m to the SW of the gold vein, on Conigo’s grid L15N. (T-1057)

Sep 13, 2012 (D Draper) - Visible gold was reported at the site in 1926. A property visit in 1959 by the Timmins Resident Geologist investigated 2 gold showings of interest. A sample from the north showing had a reported assay of $19 gold (Au @ $35 = 0.543 opt). (T-671) Conigo’s sampling at this location returned up to 0.03 opt Au. Sampling of the quartz vein by Knick Exploration returned from 1.92 gpt to 116.88 gpt Au. (T-6440) A copper showing to the southwest of the north location consists of heavy sulphide mineralization (25%) associated with a fracture zone in a gabbro outcrop. Two grab samples from this zone returned 0.35% and 0.40% Cu. Other grabs from the host gabbro assayed 0.01% Au. (T-1057)
