During the mid 1940s Detrocana Gold Mines was incorporated to take over the property, a small amount of surface work was done as well as approx. 1000 m of diamond drilling. The shear zone was sampled and the following was reported ' A width of thirty tree feet was sampled. All samples returned gold values ranging from a low of 0.01 opt (0.34 g/tonne) to a high of 0.62 oz/ton Au (21.26 g/tonne). Exploration on the property has been intermittent since this time. 2001-04: Skyharbour has completed exploration on the property. 2003: 13 DDH (2018.2 m) Magnetometer survey, overburden drilling and backhoe trenching. 2003-2004: Conducted 13 DDH totalling 2666 m.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The property is underlain by felsic and intermediate volcanic rocks. The norhtern half of the property is underlain by intermediate volcanic flows and breccias. The southern half of the property is underlain mainly by felsic flows and breccias. The volcanic rocks strike e-w and dip vertically. Several shear zones striking se-nw are present on the property. It has been reported that a well mineralized 13.7 m wide shear zone is present on the property.

Feb 24, 2012 (K R Kettles) - MDI 1 DATA: GRADE - SHEAR ZONE: RANGE FROM 0.01-0.62 OPT AU OVER 33 FT (10 M) The shear zone was sampled and the following was reported ' A width of thirty tree feet was sampled. All samples returned gold values ranging from a low of 0.01 OPT (0.34 g/tonne) to a high of 0.62 OPT Au (21.26 g/tonne).2003: Best assays returned: elevated gold calues to 220 ppb. 2004: highest assay 260 ppb Au over 0.5 m, but also returned values of >10000 ppm Zn, and 46320 ppm Zn over 0.5 m. up to 3.63 % Fe also over 0.5m
