The company has completed a geophysical programme at the property to define the targets and accordingly started the 3,000m diamond drilling campaign, which is currently underway.

This property is situated in the Greenstone Belt mainly composed of sequences of Meta-Volcanic rocks cut by faults and deformation zones.

Explor has completed an exploration drilling at the property that identified a Major Fault Structure, which runs to the west of the open-pit in a north-west south-east direction. Procured geophysical data also support the findings.

Falconbridge conducted drilling at the site in 1998 to the south-east of the Open Pit in which four of the five samples returned Zinc values ranging from 4,200ppm to 8,900ppm and Copper values between 700ppm and 2,280ppm.
