In order to better understand the gold deposition during the last onset of Laurentian iceshelf melting, a report on ice movement and till deposition in the Cleaver area was produced for the Corporation by J. Veillette, a renowned Quaternary expert formerly with the Geological Survey of Canada.

Compilation of data is under way and assays from holes are pending. A detail IP survey is being prepared to locate possible gold-bearing chargeability anomalies that will be targetted in the next drilling program.

Core samples were processed by certified Swastika Laboratories using 0.5 g of pulverized rock dissolved in aqua regia and analyzed by Atomic Absorption with Au detection of 0.01 g/t. Blanks and standards are systematically inserted every 20 samples.
