The historic exploration on the area is summarized in February 1971 assessment reports (not NI43-101 compliant) on file with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Mines. Historic exploration on the property includes an airborne radiometric survey and follow-up prospecting and trenching over one of the anomalies identified. The main showing is postulated to be a paleo-placer type deposit, with monazite crystals constituting up to 50% of the rock in places. The assay reports from the previous exploration showed that ten samples analyzed by spectrographic analysis method showed elevated concentrations of Rare Earth Oxides. Values ranged from 0.1 to 15.7% RE2O3 and averaged 4.04% RE2O3. Individual elemental rare-earth abundances are in the following order: lanthanum, cerium, gadolinium, lutetium, terbium and ytterbium, with trace amounts of scandium and yttrium.
