Also originally part of the larger Findlay Creek property, this 208-unit (12,600 acre) property is contiguous with the South Findlay claims and also shows potential for hosting sedex-type base-metal mineralization. The claims are centered 40 km northwest of Kimberley and contain a stratigraphic interval demonstrated to host significant base-metal mineralization. The first drilling on the property consisted of a single 354' (108m) hole in 1996 by the Eagle Plains/Miner River joint-venture which intersected a previously unidentified mineralized tourmalinite horizon. During 1998, Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc. drilled a single hole (#98-05) and intersected significant base-metal enrichment over 105.2 metres. Within this interval, 46 individual thin stratabound mineralized horizons were intersected. In late spring of 1999, Eagle Plains entered into an agreement with Billiton Metals Canada Inc. whereby Billiton could earn a 50% interest in the property by spending $2,000,000 on exploration over four years. As part of this agreement, Eagle Plains in 1999 completed a $400,000 exploration program which included 1617m of drilling in six holes, testing stratigraphy over a 5.0 kilometer strike length. Results of the program were encouraging, though Billiton elected to withdraw from the project following the drilling program.
