1936, Hollinger C.G.M.L.: Field visit, sampling (T-349) In Nov. 2002, Ontex Resources Ltd. drilled 3 holes on the O'Shea Zone. According to the drill logs all three holes tested beneath a high grade Au vein exposed in trenched. Each hole intersected the O'Shea Zone, but only FY-02-08 intersected occurrence-grade gold mineralization.
