Access Description: Access is via the turn off from Highway 101 onto the Dore or Foleyet Lumber Road, 100 km west of Timmins or 10 km east of Foleyet. From the highway follow road south approximately 7 km. Showing is approximately 400 m east of main haul road just off an old logging road.
1972 Inco of Canada Ltd. drilled 6 holes on a property that extended from an area south of Slate Rock Lake west to Keith Lake. Inco intersected predominantly metavolcanics with intercalated zone of metasediments and graphitic metasediments. 1973 Dome Exploration drilled 3 holes on their property to the southeast of Slate Rock Lake. The holes intersected predominantly intermediate pyroclastics with interbedded epiclastic sediments. Anomalous zinc values were noted in drill hole 53-C-3 in a unit of graphitic argillite. 1982 Geosearch Consultants Ltd. conducted an electromagnetic and magnetic survey over an area which included the claim group for Dome Exploration. 1983 Dome Exploration conducted a large drill program in the area of the southern boundary of Muskego and northern portion of Keith Townships. 1987 Aerodat Limited flew a combined helicopter airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey for B.P. Resources over the Muskego and Slate Rock Lakes area. 2010: Zinccorp Resources Inc. – EM, Lc, Mag.

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Anomalous zinc and minor copper values reported in drill log at a vertical depth of 73' (22m). Unit is an argillite and is described as fine grained, black, graphitic with banding and cleavage at 60 degrees. This argillite unit is bounded by an intermediate lapilli tuff above and an intermediate volcanic breccia below.
Apr 02, 2015 (A Wilson) - The iron formation consists of black graphitic argillite with alternating bands and disseminations of pyrite, pyrrhotite, minor sphalerite and chalcopyrite.

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Mineralization consists of up to 10% pyrite and pyrrhotite with some minor chalcopyrite and specks of sphalerite. Pyrite and pyrrhotite occur in bands, pods and disseminations.
Apr 02, 2015 (A Wilson) - Assays from this drill hole have returned values of 0.75% Zn and 0.09% Cu over 15 ft.
