Source Map: EMR 1976 PICKLE LAKE - EDITION 1
Sources Map Scale: 1:25 000
Access Description: This occurrence is located about 26 km south-southwest of Pickle Lake. It was intersected in a diamond-drill hole spotted about 380 m north of the southern tip of the central peninsula to Kasagaminnis Lake. Kasagiminnis Lake is often too shallow for float-equipped aircraft and is best accessed by helicopter, or, in winter, ski-equipped aircraft.
1973: Umex Corporation Ltd. completed a diamond-drill hole on or near this occurrence as part of a follow-up program to a large, regional, airborne geophysical survey. 1985: Moss Resources Ltd. commissioned an airborne mag and EM survey over an area including the occurrence. 1986: Power Explorations Inc. conducted ground mag and EM surveys, geological mapping and rock and soil geochemical sampling on a claim group covering this occurrence. 1986-88: Power Explorations Inc. completed 2 diamond-drilling programs on a claim group covering this occurrence. The drilling totalled 9592.67 m in 88 holes, including 2 DDH totalling 257.3 m in the vicinity of this occurrence. This occurrence was intersected in drill hole KAS-86-3.

12/17/1996 (B Nelson) - Drill hole KAS-86-3 intersected a 1.37 m interval of core which assayed 0.04 oz/ton Au at 85.95 to 87.32 m. down the hole. The interval is contained in a sequence of interbedded mafic and felsic metatuffs at the contact with a felsic to intermediate metatuff. The interval was mineralized with 3% to 5% pyrrhotite with traces of pyrite.
