Property, Location, Access, Topography & Climate

The property is located in the north central part of Beatty Township 70 kilometers east of Timmins, Ontario and 15 kilometers northwest of the operating Black Fox (formerly Glimmer) gold mine. The claim block is approximately 12 kilometres north-northeast of Matheson, which is on the Ontario Northland Railway/ and Highways #11 and 101.

Access is excellent as a gravel road, 3.4 kilometres east-northeast of Matheson, leaves Highway # 101 and runs through the centre of the property.

The property is aproximately 73 kilometres east-northeast of Timmins and 57.5 kilometres northwest of Kirkland Lake, so that all the normal commodities, mining, and supply services are available within moderate distances.

The claims are located in a moderately rolling terrain just north of a reasonably flat belt of glacial till deposits and marginal farmland. Outcrop density varies from 10% to 80%. The area is covered with a mature forest of poplar with some birch, balsam, spruce and jackpine interspersed here and there and with an incredibly thick undergrowth of mainly tagalders and scrubmaple, willow, choke cherries, dogwood, cranberries, saskatoons and rapsberry canes. A large sprucebalsam swamp edged with alders is also present. The overburden generally consists of a sandy soil or till with occasional gravel portions. Boulders up to 3 metres in size are scattered here and there. The boulders are generally of a granitic composition. The shoreline of Painkiller Lake is generally sandy.
