Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - [Q]: Outcrops mapped by [C. Mackenzie] near the [obtained] nickel values appeared to be a bluish grey serpentinite with pyroxenes developed locally. (AF T-3824).
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of mafic metavolcanics, argillite, greywacke, gabbro and peridotite.

Dec 07, 2005 (D Draper) - Fine to coarse grained disseminated pyrrhotite and pentlandite was noted as locally present to the serpentinite. A silver mineral--possibly millerite--was also noted. Two grab samples from the mineralized outcrop (identified as peridotite on the geology map) returned 6300ppm and 4730ppm Ni. (AF T-3824).
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Cross Lake grab sample 5857 returned an assay of 1110 ppm Cu and 4730 ppm Ni. Assays from diamond drill core returned assays ranging from 0.37% Ni to 1.19% Ni.
Mar 15, 2016 (P Bousquet) - Channel sampling performed by Amador Gold Corp returned assays to up to 1.096 ppm Pd, 3500 ppm Cu and 19900 ppm Ni (T-6057)
