| HistoryThe first discovery of silver-bearing structures on the property was made in 1943 by the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company. Over the following two years prospecting, geological mapping, trenching and 1,256.7 meters of diamond drilling in nine drill holes proceeded. The claims were allowed to lapse and the initial prospector of the find, Mr. W. McKinnon restaked the ground in 1958. Over the following twenty years several companies optioned the property and conducted onsite exploration developments that included a semi-permanent 20 man camp, 5150 level adit, 5600 level adit, additional surface and underground diamond drilling, and a lower elevation access road. A total of 694 meters of drifting and cross-cuts were completed and 795 meters of underground diamond drilling.
