In 1936, Coin Lake Gold Mines was incorporated, and acquired the property from Red Lake Bay Mines Ltd. In 1936, 1937 and 1938, an intensive program of stripping and trenching was carried out. A mag survey was completed and at least 22 ddhs were drilled. Around 1971, Cochenour Willans Gold Mines Ltd. optioned the property from My-Ritt Gold Mines Ltd. In 1971, VLF-EM, I.P. and geochemical surveys were completed, followed up by three diamond drill holes, totalling 527.65 m.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Most of the property is underlain by the Dome granodiorite Stock. The western portion of the property is underlain by serpentinite. Mafic dikes occupying shear zones are present in this part of the Dome Stock. The two most prominent shear zones strike ENE, dipping 60 deg. S and NNW dipping 85 deg. N. Gold mineralization occurs in quartz-carbonate veins within shear zones hosted by the granodiorite. The mineralizaion occurs in shear zones within the granodiorite. Quartz-carbonate stringers, which occur in the shears, are mineralized with gold, pyrite and minor chalcopyrite. A strong I.P. anomaly was loocated on the property. It si due to the pyritic quartz-carbonate zones.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Gold mineralization occurs in quartz-carbonate veins within shear zones hosted by the granodiorite. The mineralizaion occurs in shear zones within the granodiorite. Quartz-carbonate stringers, which occur in the shears, are mineralized with gold, pyrite and minor chalcopyrite. Choice grab samples from an old pit on clam KRL457 are reported to havve returned assay values up to 0.48 oz/ton (16.457 g/tonne).
Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - In the vicinity of the shear zones, the granodiorite is altered to a salmon pink colour. Alteration includes sericitization, epidotization, silicification and saussuritization.
