Access Description: Lying roughly 350 km east of Winnipeg and 225 km westerly of Thunder Bay, the property is situated in a classic northwestern Ontario setting. More exactly it lies 8 km southwest, of Borups Corners and 19 km south-southeast of Dinorwic. Its northern boundary is a portion of the southern boundaries of Satterly and Melgund Townships. Access is via paved highway 17 for 35 km southeasterly of Dryden then right on to a Great Lakes pulp and paper gravel logging road for approximately 11.5 km, This road traverses the property in an east-west direction.
The Tabor Lake Mine was held in 1898 by J. Tabor and J. Stephenson at Wabigoon. In 1935, Clark Gold Mines Ltd. produced gold to the value of $1,248 from the property. In 1942 the property was acquired by Tabor Lake Gold Mines Ltd. and in 1957 was leased to Pantan Mines Ltd. This company carried out a program of diamond drilling of six holes in early 1958, dewatered the shaft for sampling in July, and in late 1958 erected a new headframe and did development work on the 400 -foot level. Little significant work was subsequently done until St. Joseph Explorations Limited involvement.

Jul 18, 2022 (Q Unknown) - The area of the property is underlain with Keewatin basic volcanic rocks including basalts, pillowed basalts, gabbroic lavas and amphibolite hornblende schists. In the area, particularly easterly, are large exposures of granites or quartz feldspar porphyries. Rocks in the general area of the grid strike roughly east-west, with dips being quite steep. Small islands of acid volcanics are also noted within this broad area of basic volcanics. Also traversing the area is the occasional quartz diabase dike.
