Point Location Description: Drill set up marked on a map by Bruce Durham
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: Easiest access is by boat, from Groundhog Lake some 7km upstream, to the west shore of the river near the drill set ups.
1967: The first reported work in the area is by Radio Hill Mines when they cored three diamond drill holes and intersected the graphitic shale in two holes. 1980: Domex carried out a ground magnetic survey which covered the area though none of the follow up holes were near the earlier holes drilled by Radio Hill. 1986: Unigold Resources optioned property off Mr Morin and carried out geological mapping and a magnetic survey over the area. None of the follow up drilling by Unigold was in the area of the holes drilled by Radio Hill. 1989: BP Resources Ltd. – GL, Samp.

Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - A graphitic shale is intercalated in a sequence of mafic metavolcanics. Nearby outcrops consists of strongly foliated to schistose mafic volcanics with chloritic alteration together with more massive felsic rocks which have been mapped as feldspar porphyry intrusions.
