The IM showing consists of a 1973 drillhole (IM-33) which intersected disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization between 39.6 and 51.8 metres depth in fractured and brecciated fine-grained monzonite. The fractures are healed by chlorite, calcite and epidote. The intrusive rock is part of the Cherry Creek unit of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Iron Mask batholith. A sample across 12 metres yielded an average of 0.22 per cent copper (Assessment Report 4844).

In 1968-69, Royal Canadian Ventures Ltd. completed 4 kilometres of ground magnetometer survey, soil sampling (120) and 22.5 kilometres of induced polarization survey over the IM claims. In 1970, Great Plains Development Company of Canada, Ltd. drilled eleven percussion-drill holes totalling 710 metres on the IM claims. In 1972-73, Craigmont Mines Limited drilled twenty-five diamond-drill holes totalling 1618.4 metres, three rotary-drill holes totalling 90.8 metres and fifteen percussion-drill holes totalling 972.3 metres on the IM claims. In 1978, Pan Ocean Oils Ltd. completed six diamond-drill holes totalling 588.2 metres on the IM claims. In 2001, a photo lineament analysis was conducted on behalf of Lyra Resources Ltd. on the Dal claims.
