TerraX has been reviewing the historical technical data on the Property, including 300-400 historical drill holes that were completed on the Property between 1945 and 1996, mostly concentrated on the Crestaurum deposit. The Property was explored at the beginning of the Yellowknife gold rush in the early 1940s. It was staked by multiple claimholders in 1944 with the discovery of the outcropping Crestaurum deposit.
