1947 Burtho Gold Mines Ltd prospected and geologically mapped an area which covered an inferred north east trending shear. During the course of this work some gold mineralization was found at two locations, the first at the showing described here and the other in a northeast trending shear along the Nat River. 1954 Canadian Johns Manville geologically mapped and magnetically surveyed the area in their search for asbestos mineralization, though these efforts were concentrated to the east. 2005: Golden Chalice Resources Inc. – AEM, AMag. 2007: Golden Chalice Resources Inc. – AEM, AMag. 2008: Golden Chalice Resources Inc. – DD – 2 - 600m. 2009: Golden Chalice Resources Inc. – Assays, GC

Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - The host quartz porphyry and the adjacent mafic volcanics are sheared. The reported shearing is in a northwest orientation, however, the location of the mineralization is on the south side of an inferred regional northeast trending shear zone the Hardiman Bay Fault. A related shear zone also underlies the Nat River 2km to the southeast.
