By GlobalDataThis property has been explored by multiple miners, although the majority of the holes drilled were less than 100m in length.
A hole drilled by Tex-Sol Exploration in 1965 returned 6.0g/t Au over 9.1m at a shallow depth, which is the only significant mineralisation recovered from this asset.
The exploration conducted by Explor provided encouraging results. Hole #OG-16-02 intersected 2.06g/t Au over 1.50m from 154.5m to 156m, while Hole #OG-16-05 intersected 1.99g/t Au over 1.80m from 438m to 439.8m.
The exploration programme included six NQ holes carrying an average length of 600m for a total of 3,648m. The geology indicated substantial gold mineralisation similar to the Timmins Porcupine West Property.
