The Golden Point property features some historic work (recorded in the BC Minfile System) that has consisted of large scale mapping and some rock and soil sampling, including work by Gold Fields Canadian Mining Ltd. (1991) that returned 8,8g per tonne ('gpt) Ag, 4.5gpt Au and 0.43% Cu over a 30cm shear zone ('Scud showing') and earlier sampling by International Corona Corp. (1988, 89) which produced gold values up to 24gpt Au in grab samples from a small area of an exposed quartz vein stockwork ('Otis showing') rich in arsenopyrite. This new project was acquired by staking via MTOnline.
