Intermittent historical exploration programs conducted between the late 1960’s and late 1990’s identified both porphyry and epithermal style vein mineralization within the current property boundary. The most extensive work was conducted in the early 1980’s and focused exclusively on the peripheral epithermal vein targets in the western part of the claim block.

Exploration consisted of bulldozer trenching and limited diamond drilling across recessive lineaments but was restricted primarily to the ridge tops. The success of this work was limited by extensive permafrost and deep weathering of the vein zones.

Porphyry exploration conducted in the late 1990’s consisted of two isolated Induced Polarization grids followed by two diamond drill holes spaced roughly 800 m apart. This work was done in proximity to historical copper-in-soil geochemical anomalies identified in the 1970’s.
