Point Location Description: Rough position of #3 zone trench
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: The showing is 87km west southwest of Timmins and access is best via Highway 101 to the Kenogaming main haul road then south and southwest on the Kenogaming and Penhorwood haul to Tionaga. South of the tracks at Tionaga a new road extends west to the Horwood Peninsula and passes close to the showing.
1952: First reported work on the showings was by Horlak Mines Ltd who drilled a number of shear zones and quartz veins but no assay data has been reported. This work was related to more detailed work on the Labbe #1 and #2 showings. 1963: Queensway Mines carried out a limited trenching and drilling program which allegedly returned sub-economic gold values. 1980: Northgate Exploration carried out an integrated exploration program over a two year period which included geological mapping, striping, resampling old trenches, magnetic and VLF-EM geophysics, together with soil and humus sampling. 1989: Noranda Exploration mapped a large area of Horwood Peninsula which included the showing.
