OWNERSHIP: In 1936, Byshe Red Lake Mines Ltd was incorporated and acquired the northern part of the property. In 1944, the ground was staked by N. Sparks, and in 1945, ownership was transferred to Transterra Mines Ltd. In 1946, ownership was transferred to Durock Red Lake Mines Ltd. The company's name was changed to Duronium Mines Ltd in 1949. In 1950, part of the property was staked by O.H. Sa dena and in 1951, part was staked by D. Olsen EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT: Prior to 1936, drilling was done on the property. A small amound of drilling was done in 1936 and in 1937 prospecting, stripping and trenching were carried out. In 1947, a MAG survey and geological survey were done, and five diamond drill holes were completed. ECONOMIC FEATURES: Vein material from the main showing is reported to have assays ranging from 0.20 oz/ton (6.857 g/tonne), to 0.54 oz/ton (18.514 g/tonne). The associated quartz stringers are reported to assay from 0.10 (4.43 g/tonne) to 0.14 oz/ton (4.80 g/tonne).

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The claims are underlain principally by Howey diorite, which contains several small slivers of mafic volcanic rocks. The latter contain a few thin interflow units of iron formation. Small aurifierous quartz veins hosted within the mafic volcanics have been discovered in several places. The main showing is located east of the number 2 post of claim 20268. It consists of a main quartz vein 20 to 25 cm wide and smaller quartz strngers in a shear zone 2.1 m wide hosed within mafic volcanics.
