The property area is equivalent to\napproximately 4,500 hectares or 45 sq km.  The drill program follows\ngeophysical surveys done to identify targets that may be the source of\nthe mineralized boulder.  The recent geophysical program was\npartially funded by the Ontario Junior Exploration Program and\napplication has been made to the same program to fund the drill\nprogram.  The Program will fund up to $200,000 on a $400,000\nexploration program.\n \n \n \n \n The mineralized boulder was on display at the highly\nsuccessful\n \n \n Canadian Mining\nExpo in Timmins, Ontario\n \n \n in June.\n \n \n \n \n Historically, a sample of a metalliferous boulder,\nbrought to the Timmins Mining District Regional Resident Geologist in\n2019 by a Mr. A.
