1976: The property was held by C. W. Peterson and then optioned to Goldfield Mining Corporation. Sixteen drill holes were completed in the area by C. W. Peterson in 1976 and 1977, and one diamond drill hole by Goldfields in 1982 intersected the occurence. 2007 Rubicon Minerals with Solitaire Minerals completed a 1380 drill program consisting of 3 holes.

Nov 21, 2014 (K Kettles) - The area is underlain by highly carbonized mafic metavolcanic flows. The flows are massive and minor brecciated zones have been noted. North and south of the occurence, there occurs a series of shear zones which trend approximately E-W. The metavolcanics are intensely altered, and contain numerous quartz-carbonate veins. Fuschite and chlorite are associated with some of the veins.

Nov 21, 2014 (K R Kettles) - A 45 cm section of drill core returned an assay of 5 ppm silver (0.16 oz/ton)(5.486g/tonne)Ag. 2007: Two holes drilled in this area, best assays returned DH HUM07-01: 5663 ppb Au over 1 m, and 40 ppm Ag over 1 m. DH HUM07-03 3826 ppb Au over 1 m. The anomalous silver values are found in intensely altered mafic metavolcanics, where quartz carbonate veins are common. Yellow sphalerite is present where the silver values are anomalous.
