Historical Exploration

2004: Logan conducted geological mapping, trenching, and soil, rock and stream sediment sampling. The stream sampling program indicated significant copper, gold and uranium anomalies in the drainage pattern. Five gold-bearing quartz saddle reef structures were outlined. 

2005: Logan completed a helicopter-borne magnetometer survey, a soil geochemical survey (1,054 samples), an IP survey and a gravity survey. The results concluded that drilling was warranted.

2006: A detailed soil geochemical survey (2,260 samples) completed over the northeastern portion of the property expanded the anomalous copper area to cover 13.4 km by 1.8 km (24 km²), with values up to 620 ppm Cu.  Gold in outcrop assayed up to 3.4 g/t Au coincident with higher copper soil geochemical results.  Three holes were drilled to test an IP target, however the target remains unexplained as the holes did not reach the target depths.

2007: Logan conducted airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, 1,535m of diamond drilling in 10 holes, mapping, prospecting and additional soil sampling. The program revealed a new gold target, a 750m long hydrothermal vein breccia. Previously, five Au-Cu bearing saddle reef structures had been identified on the property over a 6km distance with visible gold observed in boulders (3.8 g/t to 9.3 g/t Au from quartz float and 2.7 g/t Au in soil). Five radiometric anomalies were identified, several of which have magnetic signatures, interpreted as representing sulfide mineralization. Anomalous potassium values cover a large area, which is consistent with a late stage IOCG model. A large magnetic anomaly to the north, which is interpreted to be an intrusive, along with a coincident radiometric anomaly, represents an untested new target. Drilling in 2007 was hampered by blocky ground. Deeper holes across the copper bearing phyllite, perpendicular to the regional structure, will be necessary to test the stratigraphy. Trenching is necessary to determine the orientation and structural complexity of the copper horizon prior to drilling.

2008: Exploration work consisted of sampling the area between the 2004 trench and the visible gold quartz boulder in the creek bed several hundred meters to the ENE of the trench.
