Point Location Description: An old clearing in a mature jack pine stand now filled with 3 - 5m spruce trees
Location Method: Field Visit with GPS
Access Description: The collar location is near a secondary road, a short distance from where the road branches off Highway 101.
1956: Consolidated Thor Mines carried out an exploration program which included diamond drilling. A total of seven holes were drilled for a depth of 956m. One hole intersected a banded iron formation with some chalcopyrite. These holes were relogged by S.A. Ferguson on behalf of the government. 2007: Amador Gold Corp. – Lc, IP, Mag.

Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - The nearby exposed rocks consist of pillowed and massive iron tholeiitic flows cut by diabase dykes. Drilling indicates that within the volcanic sequence there are some sulphide facies iron formation up to 10m thick.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The drill log identifies a sequence of basalt, gabbro, pyroxenite and andesite.

Geologist: S Fumerton
Notes: The clearing that may be an old drill set up is roughly in the position inferred for the hole based on an old grid line found and the position of the highway. However, no clearings for other holes drilled in the same program could be found, i.e. #4 | #5.
