Point Location Description: Diamond drill hole
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: The easiest access is through the Joburke property via Highway 101 to the Horwood Lake/Palomar turn-off. An all weather road extends south to Joburke station on the main CNR tracks. South of the tracks a road goes west 2 km to the mine site. An old road/trail continues past the trenching about 2.8 km onto what was once the Garnet Gold Mines property and then onto the old Groundhog Mining property.
1946: Garnet Gold Mines Ltd. acquired property approximately 2 miles south of Keith Lake with the object to explore potential extensions to the Joburke shear zone. The property was subsequently mapped in the summer of 1946 and drilled in 1947. Garnet Gold Mines Ltd. drilled 13 holes on their property for a total of approximately 9600' (2926m). 1958 Kukatush Mining Corporation Ont. Ltd. conducted a ground magnetometer survey on their Keith Group claims in order to delineate magnetite mineralization. 1962: Kukatush Mining Corp. drilled 5 holes on their Keith Group of claims. Holes K-4 and K-5, were drilled in the western portion of this group known as 'group C'. Numerous magnetite stringers were reported intersected in hole K-5.
