Access Description: Access to the showing is via Trans-Canada Highway 11/17 and Highway 11 from Thunder Bay to Kashabowie and from there it can be reached by a secondary Highway 802 and a major logging road. The Trans-Canada Highway 11 passes just 2.5 kilometres north of the Property. The showing is then is accessed from the Burchell Lake Road, which branches from Highway 802, using ATV and then by foot.
1985-86: J. Lukosius-Sanders completed a VLF survey and geological mapping. 1987: Discovery West Corp. optioned the property and carried out trenching, line-cutting, IP and Magnetic surveys. 1988: A 14 hole drill program (2 118 m), including 2 DDH on the showing, was undertaken plus trenching-stripping. 1989: T. Sanders drilled 1 DDH totaling 106.24 m. 1989: J. Lukosius-Sanders carried out prospecting and sampling. 1990: J. Lukosius-Sanders received an OPAP grant and completed mapping and prospecting along grid-lines. 2002: Alto Ventures staked the area of the showing. 2004: Alto Ventures contracted Clark Exploration to complete a prospecting program over the west side of Burchell Lake. 2005: Alto Ventures flew a 250 line-km VTEM and magnetic survey over the greater Coldstream property. 2009: Foundation Resources completed a geological mapping and geochemical sampling over areas of historic work as well as shear zones and areas known to host quartz-feldspar porphyries. 2011: Prospecting and sampling program and two geophysical surveys were conducted over the showing.

Oct 09, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - The best assay from DDH 88-10 was 305 ppb Au, in a granodiorite with pink feldspars and blue quartz, and up to 5% pyrite and chalcopyrite. The best assay from DDH 88-11 was 275 ppb Au, in an altered quartz feldspar porphyry with 3% sulphides (AFRI 52B10SE0073). Lavigne et al. (1991) reported results of 880 ppb Au from the trench.
Date: Jun 21, 1990
Geologist: J Scott
Notes: Grab samples contain up to 880 ppb Au (similar trenches 1000 m to southwest).
