Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: Light aircraft on skis or floats can land on North East Bay of Sturgeon Lake near Fraser Lake. The shortest traverse is to the south tip of Fraser Lake and north to the shaft. Another option is to land on Couture Lake to the west of Fraser Lake and walk 350 m to the shaft. This may not be possible if weather conditions are poor. Snowmobiles and boats can use a number of access points off Hwy. 599 between Horizontal Bay and Cobb Bay to gain access the Northeast Bay of Sturgeon Lake.

Dec 07, 2005 (R Tuomi) - Very little has been reported concerning the geology of the area. Graham (1930) reported on the property. The Bennett Pacaud interests are carrying on the development of a group of 5 claims, AL771, 772 and SV 410 - SV 412, to the east of Couture Lake. Trenching has uncovered in andesite a quartz vein 2 to 8 feet wide, carrying commercial-grade ore over a length of 600 feet. A carbonate zone in sericite schist, which can be followed for 1000 feet,carries low gold values across 10 feet. It is the intention of the company to diamond-drill the main vein in order to test the continuance of values at depth. Trowell (1977) mentioned that he had found no records to indicate further work had been done on the property. His mapping of the area did not locate the trenches referred to by Graham (1930).
