Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Interlayered felsic volcanic rocks, some mafic volcanic rocks, and talc-carbonate schist strike NW-SE, and dip steeply NE> Two holes were drilled in 1980, yielding several zones up to 18 m thick that assayed trace gold and one higher intersection. All gold was hosted in the felsic and mafic rocks. Scattered pyrite occurs throughout. This prospect may be similar to the Miles Red Lake 'A' zone.

Sep 29, 2020 (K R Kettles) - A possible shear zone occurs in altered felsic volcanic rocks and carries gold. The mineralization occurs in several zones up to 18 m thick, which assayed trace gold. Dome Exploration Canada Ltd. drilled hole 135 A-3 which intersected 0.76 m of 0.022 opt Au at 46 m. Scattered pyrite occurs throughout the altered and sheared zone. DDH NDC-87-09 returned 6.38 ppm Au over 1.5 m @ 224-225.50 m including 17.23 ppm over 0.35 m at 224.95 m (Assessment report 20000006231).
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - All gold was hosted in the felsic and mafic rocks, much of which are altered to quartz, sericite, and chlorite. Scattered pyrite occurs throughout as well.
