1958-1961: Algoma Ore Properties, Limited – Assays, DD – 9 – 2425ft, GL, Mag. 1972: An airborne geophysical survey was flown by Dome Exploration and this was followed by a diamond drill program in the search for base metals. 1980: Domex resumed exploration in the area with a ground magnetic survey followed by some diamond drilling on targets away from the occurrence documented here. 1983: G.K. Sanford – Assays, Tr. 1987: A diversified gold exploration program was undertaken in a joint venture partnership with Marshall Minerals, Gail Resources, and Gold Vessel Resources. This work consisted of geophysical surveys, geological mapping, stripping and drilling but none of the ground targets were in the vicinity of the occurrence documented here. 2001 – 2003: George Ross, Fred Ross, Garry Windsor – Assays, Beep, Pr, Samp, Tr. 2006: Amador Gold Corp. – EM, Mag.

Metamorphism Type: Regional
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - The host breccia unit is located on the contact between metavolcanics and a siliceous iron formation.
| Rock Type | Rank | Composition | Texture | Relationship | Schist-Unsubdivided | 1 | Breccia | Recemented, Friable | Host |

| Silicate Ironstone | 3 | Chert | Near | |
| Sulphide Ironstone | 4 | Sulphide-Facies | Banded Iron Formation | Near |
Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - The mineralization occurs in a breccia unit that is located on the contact between a chert - sulphide facies iron formation and an ultramafic metavolcanic. The breccia contain fragments up to 5cm of chert, peridotite, and other metavolcanics set in a black graphitic matrix. The adjacent ultramafic is extensively altered to serpentine, talc and carbonate with some quartz carbonate veining. The chert / iron formation is locally brecciated with quartz - carbonate veins which contain minor pyrite and graphitic slips. Pyrite forms up to 30% of the iron formation.

| Talc | Alteration | Steatization | 2 | Unknown | Disseminated |
Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - Pyrite occurs as aggregates and bands within the graphitic matrix of the breccia and forms up to 15% of the rock.
Mar 23, 2015 (P Bousquet) - Hole 53-E-7 intersected 39.1 ft of breccia which returned 0.06% Cu and 0.3% Zn over 15 ft, 0.015% Cu and 0.3% Zn over 14.1 ft, and 0.03% Cu and 0.25% Zn over 10 ft (T-249). Another hole, 53-E-4, located 480ft to the northeast of 53-E-7, intersected 1.4% Zn over 15 ft and 1.5% Zn over 6.7 ft in an iron formation (T-249).
