History of iron and copper exploration and mining.
Nearby magnetite deposits were mined for iron ore.
Limited copper mining at Copper Kettle Mine within the property boundary.
Historical activity demonstrates regional geological and ore-forming processes necessary for creating economic mineral deposits.
The stratigraphic, structural, geophysical and geochemical features suggest excellent potential to host iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG-style) mineralization.*
