1950 - 1965 Coldstream Copper Mines Limited conducted geophysical and geological surveys and drilled 2 DDH totalling 227.7 m. 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 1 DDH on the showing, was undertaken plus trenching-stripping. 1989: J. Lukosius-sanders carried out prospecting and sampling and drilled 3 DDH. 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.
