Around 1944, surface work exposed what is known as the Conway Showing. Headway Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd was incorporated in 1944 to take over a group of claims from M. Conway, G. Stokes and J. Tymken. In 1945, a diamond drill program was completed on the property that consisted of 30 holes totalling 1550 m. 1954: Dickenson Mines Ltd. optioned the ground and drilled 1 DDH totalling 98.5 m. 1960: Gunnex Ltd. Optioned the property from L. Euler, D. Jackson, and J.H. Kolak. A grid was cut and a geological survey, trenching, and sampling was performed. 1965: Madsen Red Lake Gold Mines drilled 8 holes totaling 871 m.

Jul 29, 2019 (K R Kettles) - Intermediate and felsic volcanics are the predominant rock types in the area. Rhyolite flows and tuffs are the principal rock types in the vicinity of the showing. The rhyolitic flows are generally very fine grained, hard and massive. Gold mineralization occurs in quartz veins and stringers in felsic volcanic rocks. Gold mineralization occurs in an irregular area of quartz veining and sulphide mineralization, in rhyolitic flows. The mineralized zone is approximately 46 m long and varies in width from a few cm to 3 m. Coarse arsenopyrite and pyrite are disseminated throughout the mineralized zone. Auriferous quartz veins and stringers have very shallow dips.

Jul 29, 2019 (K R Kettles) - The mineralized zone strikes east-west, is approximately 46 m long and varies in width from a few cm to 3 m. Coarse arsenopyrite and pyrite are disseminated throughout the mineralized zone. Auriferous quartz veins and stringers have very shallow dips. Sampling from surface trenches returned good gold values, the highest being 0.76 oz/ton (26.057 g/tonne) Au across 0.18 m and 0.62 oz/ton (21.26 g/tonne) Au across 0.40 m. The best assays from the diamond drilling were 0.16 oz/ton (5.49 g/tonne) over 0.61 m and 0.06 oz/ton (2.06 g/tonne) over 1.53 m.
