Access Description: This occurrence is located about 38 km southwest of Pickle Lake. It was intersected in a diamond-drill hole spotted about 800 m northwest of Whitmore Lake and 3.7 km northeast of Knupp Lake. Access to this occurrence is by appropriately equipped aircraft to Whitmore Lake and then a traverse overland to the drill hole site. The winter road to the Golden Patricia mine passes along the Ear Falls to Pickle Lake power corridor about 2.75 km northeast of the drill hole site.
1973: Umex Corporation Ltd. drilled a diamond-drill hole on or near this occurrence as part of a follow-up program to a regional airborne geophysical survey. 1988: Bond Gold Canada Inc. commissioned airborne mag and EM surveys over an area which included the occurrence. This was followed up by geological mapping, probably ground geophysical surveys and diamond-drilling. Drill hole JWH-88-06 intersected this occurrence. 1990: Bond Gold Canada Inc. did further diamond-drilling in the area of this occurrence.
