Mar 03, 2011 (C Ravnaas) - Prospect due to the sampling of mineralized zones intersected during Kings Bay Gold 2006 drill program returned values greater than 5,000 ppm Cu, 4,000 ppm Zn, 824 ppm Ni, 10,000 ppm Ti and 500 ppm W. This drill program targeted the potential which underlain the surface exposure at the Pocket Pond area.

Aug 04, 2022 (Q Unknown) - 1966: Best drill intersection assayed 0.18% Cu over 1.0 m.1972: trenching; 789 m of DD in 12 holes. Best intersections assayed: 0.49% Cu, 0.9% Zn over 1.2 m; 0.12% Cu, 0.59% Zn over 9.9 m. 1983: Best drill intersection assayed 0.62% Cu, 0.35% Zn over 0.4m. Property underlain by metasedimentary and mafic metavolcanic rocks. Metamorphic grade is amphibolite. Two types of mineralization: sulphide and iron oxide mineralization within the mafic metavolcanic rocks; pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization within iron formation.
