Feb 16, 2011 (J Bongfelt) - 'The mineralized pillows may be stratigraphically equivalent to those at the Maybrun property, but displaced by faulting. The environment appears to have been favourable for accumulation of copper, and disseminated chalcopyrite might be located by additional geophysical surveys.' (ODM, GR.111, pg. 33)

Feb 16, 2011 (J Bongfelt) - 'Drilling encountered only narrow widths of sulphide minerals similar to those found in outcrops.' (Kenora Historical File 52F/05NE00051, Shawkey - document SMDR 000546).
Nov 08, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - Pyrrhotite with minor pyrite and traces of chalcopyrite occur in pillow interstices in Early Precambrian basaltic flows striking N35W and dipping 60-75 degrees SW. Mineralization has been traced along a strike lenght of 600 feet. Driling intersected only narrow widths of sulphides (SMDR 00546).
