1959-62 Canico flew regional AEM and magnetic surveys but did not perform any work on the area of the Tri Origin RLX property. 1976-1983: Selco completed extensive base metal exploration throughout the area performing small ground geophysical surveys and airborne EM and Mag in the 1970s. The airborne data was not submitted for assessment. Follow-up drilling resulted in discovery of the various Dixie base metal occurrences southeast of the RLX property. 1978: Red Lake and 1991 Birch-Uchi-Confederation Lakes regional airborne magnetic and EM surveys were flown for the Ontario Geological Survey. Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting flew the area as well in the 1970s and conducted follow-up on various claim groups, none of which correspond to the Tri Origin property. This resulted in the discovery of a base metal occurrence to the south of the property. 1989: Regional airborne magnetic and EM surveys flown by Noranda Mining and Exploration Ltd.
