Point Location Description: The Fisher Lake East Gold area is located in the fisher Lake claim map area G2617
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: The property is easily accessed by float plane from Dryden, Vermillion Bay, or Kenora, ON. A logging road reaches within 2km of the southeast corner of (then) claim 1149728. extension of this road in the future is planned by the pulp & paper co. of Dryden. (Kenora AF 52F/SE, I-7, Barton, B.)
1955: There has been numerous periods of exploration activity in the general area of the claims but very little work was reported. The only known work reported was on a sulphide zone near the southwest end of Stoat lake. Orchan Uranium Mines report trenching and sampling on this prospect in 1955. 1985-1990: A lake sediment survey carried out jointly by the Ontario and Federal governments included the Fisher Lake area. This survey (GSC Open File 1958) indentified two lakes within the claim group as having highly anomalous gold values. 1997: Work program on the Fisher Lake Property involved reconnaissance geological mapping, prospecting and rock sampling. (Kenora AF 52F/12SE, J-1, Summary Report - pages 1 & 5) 1997-98: 'Search for gold in the Fisher Lake East Gold area' 'The work was done to test for extensions to the gold bearing area of the previous prospecting work carried out by B Barton in 1996 and of Champion Bear Resource in 1997. The rocks in the area are mostly of hornblende granodiorite and blue quartz granodiorite. Many small shears and quartz veins are scattered over al the claims and many of these carry anomalous gold values similar to and in the same geological formation as the area at the S500 Occurrence and the Barton Occurrence in the Garnet Bay area approx. 8 km north east. The most promising areas are on the north line of claim #1149639…' (Kenora AF 52F/12SE, I-7, Summary Report, 'summary')

Feb 15, 2011 (J Bongfelt) - The occurrence is hosted by narrow zones of sausseritized granodirorite; appears rusty in outcrop, and frequently contain quartz stringers and narrow quartz lenses. It is irregular in shape, often appearing to be controlled by anastomosing shears; typically from 1 to 3 metres wide. * At this location, a narrow quartz lens ranging in width from a few centimetres to 12 cm and traced along strike for approx. 25 metres carries visible gold. (Kenora AF 52F/12SE, J-1, Summary Report - pg.7)
Feb 15, 2011 (J Bongfelt) - At this location, a narrow quartz lens ranging in width from a few centimetres to 12 cm and traced along strike for approx. 25 metres carries visible gold. A grab sample from the quartz assayed 108.14 g/T (3.15 oz/ton) (Kenora AF 52F/12SE, J-1, Summary Report - pg.7)
