The Occurrence is a area of mineralization examined by prospecting by Freewst in 2007. Several old trenches were located. No evidence of diamond drilling was observed (Reference Quest Uranium Kenora Assessment File 52L07SE V-1 AFRO # 2.40813).

Mar 04, 2011 (C Ravnaas) - West of the Main and 8K trenches, evidence of previous work is limited to several shallow dynamite "pops" from radioactive pegmatite outcrops. Rocks consisting of zones of amphibolitized inclusions, pale weathering arkosic metasediment and a gossanous graphitic metasediment are intercalated with the pegmatitic granitoids along the ridge. A second area of mineralization was found about 150 metres south of the Main Trench. This area is characterized by of palingenic-type mineralization in white leucogranites and partially melted siliceous metasediments. Carnotite staining is widespread (Reference Quest Uranium Kenora Assessment File 52L07SE V-1 AFRO # 2.40813).
Mar 04, 2011 (C Ravnaas) - Two north-south trenches designated the "Main" trench and the "8K"trench were sampled. Potassium rich pegmatitic granite exposed in these trenches strike westerly along the ridge. Old records indicate five parallel pegmatite dikes. West of the Main and 8K trenches, evidence of previous work is limited to several shallow dynamite "pops" from radioactive pegmatite outcrops. Rocks consisting of zones of amphibolitized inclusions, pale weathering arkosic metasediment and a gossanous graphitic metasediment are intercalated with the pegmatitic granitoids along the ridge. Five original grab samples from the Main and 8K Trenches returned from 270 to 1451 ppm U30S. Twenty two (22) samples taken along the ridge returned from 34 to 2867 ppm U308. A mineralized corridor is on the order of 90x 200 metres was outlined by this initial prospecting, where twenty seven (27) samples averaged 917 ppmU308. Detailed sampling in the Main and 8K Trenches consisted of grab samples at one (1) metre intervals. Mineralized intervals in the 8K and the Main Trench returned 504 ppm U30S over 7 metres and 321 ppm U30S over 14 metres respectively. A second area of mineralization was found about 150 metres south of the Main Trench. This area is characterized by of palingenic-type mineralization in white leucogranites and partially melted siliceous metasediments. Carnotite staining is widespread. A shallow trench from the 1970s was located. Five (5) grab samples from this area returned from 453 to 1522 ppm U308, averaging 890 ppm U308. A third occurrence in pegmatite is located about 350 metres northeast of the main trenches. Nine (9) samples returned from 616 to 2443 ppm U30S and averaged 1139 ppm U30S. This pegmatite is more typical of the Thor area and is a new occurrence (Reference Quest Uranium Kenora Assessment File 52L07SE V-1 AFRO # 2.40813).
