The Poly (X Zone) occurrence is in the Stewart Gold Camp in an area underlain by Middle to Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanic rocks which are intruded by a small stock of Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex quartz monzonite known as the Entrance Peak pluton. Mineralization is mainly associated with the contact of altered crystal tuff/volcanic breccia on the west flank of the Entrance Peak pluton. The sedimentary and pyroclastic rocks on the west margin of the pluton have been deformed and altered and subjected to a large, strong, multiphase hydrothermal system that has been focused by the shear zones and their structural fabric.

In 2006 exploration work was initiated to follow-up on the results of the 2005 drill program, the first ever conducted on the Poly Property. Strong in-situ evidence of the structural and geological controls of the target mineralization were provided by three of the 2005 holes (DDHP05-02, -07, -09), which had tested the Highway Creek Shear Zone (HCSZ) over a strike length of about 207 metres. All three holes intersected favorable alteration and indications of the presence of Type 1 mineralization (pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena), values up to 5.44 grams per tonne gold, 30.3 grams per tonne silver, 0.387 per cent lead, 0.907 per cent zinc over 25 centimetres in DDHP05-07; and, 0.342 grams per tonne gold, 4.8 grams per tonne silver, 0.1833 per cent lead, and 0.2413 per cent zinc, over 2.49 metres in DDHP05-09 (Assessment Report 29203). The mineralization is in and near a felsic dike, which is located at or near the structural contact of altered crystal tuff volcanic breccia and interbeds of argillite, the focus of the mineralizing system.

In 2006, DDHP06-04 was collared about 135 metres north of DDHPO5-09 to evaluate the postulated northern along strike extension of the HCSZ (see Figure D1, Assessment Report 29203). The hole also tested the interesting environments entailed by structural fabric sub-parallel to the HCSZ such as the Middle Creek Shear Zone (MCSZ) and the West Middle Creek Shear Zone (WMCSZ). Although DDHP06-04 failed to intersect the target HCSZ mineralization along strike from DDHP05-09, it did encounter similar but higher-grade mineralization about 75 metres to the east of the HCSZ. The intersection assayed 0.67 grams per tonne gold, 6.33 grams per tonne silver, 0.0265 per cent arsenic, 0.0136 per cent copper, 0.0451 per cent lead and 0.228 per cent zinc over a core length of 25.2 metres, including 3.1 grams per tonne gold, 26.76 grams per tonne silver, 0.034 per cent arsenic, 0.0105 per cent cadmium, 0.0473 per cent copper, 0.172 per cent lead, and 0.958 per cent zinc over a core length of 4.9 metres, including 5.17 grams per tonne gold, 49.19 grams per tonne silver, 0.047 per cent arsenic, 0.0196 per cent cadmium, 0.0864 per cent copper, 0.31 per cent lead and 1.78 per cent zinc over a core length of 2.55 metres (Assessment Report 29203).

The mineralization includes lenses of brecciated, semi-massive sulfide pyrite-sphalerite-galena mineralization and is hosted by altered Salmon River Formation argillites that have a strong magnetic signature. The host rocks are located near the contact of altered pyroclastic rocks of the underlying Betty Creek formation.

The mineralization is associated with quartz-carbonate-sulfide plus/minus ankerite, fuchsite breccia veins and sulphidized argillite at the contact of altered argillite and silicified, sulphidized crystal tuff/volcanic breccia. The geological controls appear similar to those in the aforementioned holes except the mineralization appears to be associated with the WMCSZ and the nearest felsic dike is located 5 metres to the east of the wide alteration zone.

In 2007 it was reported that historic work on the Upper and Lower Grids of the Poly Property had delineated a favorable geological and structural environment that hosts an interpreted exhalite horizon (the X Zone) with potential for auriferous volcanogenic massive sulfide mineralization. DDHP06-04 is also reported to have tested the postulated X Zone VMS horizon on the Upper Poly Grid.

WORK HISTORY

In 1992, the HZCS (Highway Zone Creek Showing) (104A 178) was explored with geological and geochemical surveys funded by Cameco Corp. (Assessment Reports 22777). Quartz-ankerite veins and stock works mineralized with galena and sphalerite were explored yielded up to 9.85 grams per tonne gold, 1163 grams per tonne silver, 0.33 per cent copper, 0.54 per cent lead arid 0.33 per cent zinc across a 3 metre wide in chip sample (as reported in Assessment Report 22777).

In 1999, the Highway 37A Showing (or Highway 37A Zone Showing) was discovered during a regional geochemical survey (Assessment Report 26253). The showing comprises an area of oxidized soil and altered (oxidized, silicified, sulfidized, sericitized) angular float boulders and large blocks, located in tag alders between the old Hwy 37A and the new Hwy 37A. It had an apparent north-northwest trend and a width of up to over 50 metres. The Poly 1-4 Claims were staked in August 1999 to cover the Highway 37A Showing, the Highway Zone Creek Showing (104A 178) and the favorable geological environment north of Entrance Peak.

In 2000, two Prospectors Assistance Programs were carried out on separate areas of the property (Molloy, 2000 Prospectors Assistance Report PAP 00-23; Kennedy, 2000 Prospectors Assistance Report PAP 00-31). The geochemical signature of the Highway 37A Showing was traced via prospecting and reconnaissance geochemical rock float and soil sampling for an additional 200 metres. It has also been traced an additional 500 metres to the east-southeast.

In 2002, further geochemical and geological surveys were carried out by Geofine in 2002 for Island Arc Mining Corp. These continued to confirm the importance of the exploration environment (Assessment Report 26580). The 2002 rock geochemical and geological surveys identified 4 principal types of mineralization:

Type 1: Pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena;

Type 2: Pyrite, arsenopyrite;

Type 3: Pyrrhotite plus/minus chalcopyrite;

Type 4: Specular hematite or specularite.

In 2003, Lateegra Resources Corp holds the Poly property under option agreement with Geofine Exploration Consultants Ltd and can earn 100 per cent interest in the property.

In 2004 the Poly Property Grid was expanded and geophysical, geochemical and geological surveys camed out surveys (Assessment Report 27793). Lateegra Resources Corporation completed a 6-kilometre induced polarization (IP) and magnetic survey on the Poly claims, which outlined a number of moderate to extremely strong IP Zones with numerous chargeability/resistivity anomalies.

In 2005, Cypress Development Corp. signed an agreement with Lateegra Resources Corp to acquire a 51 per cent interest in the Poly project.

In 2005, Lateegra Resources Corp. and Cypress Development Corp. carried out a first ever diamond drilling program on the Poly claims (Assessment Report 28088). The exploration target was high-grade, epithermal-mesothermal gold-silver and base metal mineralization, with a multielement signature (see MINFILE 104A 178). Seven holes totalling 908.5 metres tested a series of gold and silver-bearing veins, associated with base metal sulphides and related IP anomalies. No significant assays were reported though three of the holes (DDHP05-02, -07, -09) intersected a favorable structural and geological environment with strong evidence of the hydrothermal mineralizing system responsible for the Type 1 and Type 2 mineralization. The grade and composition of the target mineralization are indicated by 48 historic and 2004 rock samples that have gold contents of at least 2 grams per tonne gold. The samples have an average grade of 13.26 grams per tonne gold, 632.54 grams per tonne silver, 0.29 per cent copper, 0.25 per cent lead, 0.54 per cent zinc, and are mainly made up of coarse-grained pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite (Press Release, June 14, 2005, Lateegra Resources Corp).

In 2006, Geofine Exploration Consultants Ltd., on behalf of Geofund, conducted exploration work on the Poly property that included line cutting and grid restoration (6 kilometres), topographic surveys, hole spotting, diamond drilling (718.6 metres in 3 holes (DDHP06-01, -04, -07)), core logging and sampling, reclamation and a MMI soil geochemical survey (102 samples) on the Upper and Lower Grids of the Poly Property (Assessment Report 29203). DDHP06-04 tested the postulated X Zone VMS horizon on the Upper Poly Grid.

In 2007 it was reported that the Weekes' Investment Group held the Poly property under the terms of a 2006 option agreement with Geofine (Assessment Report 30204). Work included 1494.1 metres of diamond drilling in 9 holes and an MMI-M soil geochemical survey (26 samples) on the southern area of the Lower Grid of the Poly Property. DDHP07-06 was the successful re-drill of DDHP07-05 and intersected several narrow intervals of silicified and sulfidized crystal tuff breccia with anomalous copper values. On the Lower Grid north of the Stewart Highway, two holes (DDHP07-04, -04A; tested the exhalative zone. Both holes intersected the favorable alteration, an MES (multi-element signature) and stratigraphy associated with the X Zone but did not yield significant gold and silver values.

In 2008, Weekes Investment Group held the Poly property under the 2006 option agreement and completed a work program that consisted of 6 kilometres of line cutting and grid restoration and the collection of 45 rock and 208 MMI-M 6 samples. Geophysical surveys were completed, including 3 kilometres of IP and 4 kilometres of magnetic surveying. Also completed were 307 metres of diamond drilling in 4 holes (Assessment Report 30204). A significant, apparent VMS target continues to be delineated on the Lower Grid of the Poly Property; the target is associated with a linear zone of mineralization that trends through the Poly Property and has been traced for about 15 kilometres to the southeast. On the Lower Grid, the target has a zoned, multielement MMI-M signature that includes copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc and has been partially outlined with MMI-M soil surveys over an area greater than 350 by 100 metres.

In 2010, Frontline Gold Corporation funded an exploration project carried out by Geofine Exploration Consultants Limited (Assessment Report 32060). This consisted of about 1.7 kilometres of grid installation, the collection of 117 rock, 107 MMI-M soil, stream sediment and 5 samples of angular boulders, 107 MMI-M samples, 5 stream sediment samples; and a Geotech airborne VTEM geophysical survey comprising about 308-line kilometres. The 2010 program attempted to outline the northwestern extent of the 2006-2008 MMI-M anomaly. The 2010 VTEM survey identified several bedrock EM responses located on higher ground to the west of the MMI-M geochemical anomalies. These are reported to include a classic, isolated VMS type target with strong magnetic association, and a Central Zone of conductors, which consists of at least 4 EM targets with magnetic response. A VTEM survey totalling 2171 kilometres was also completed on the Todd Creek Property by Orestone Mining Corp (Assessment Report 32167). The Poly and Todd Creek properties were combined by 2015.

In 2011, on the Poly 1-7, 20-25, 27-29 mineral tenures, Frontline Gold Corporation conducted 12.2 kilometres of grid re-establishment and installation and geochemical surveys on the Upper Poly (“UPG”), Lower Poly (“LPG”), Cottonwood (“CWG”), North Central (“NCG”), Classic (“CG”) and Swimming Pool (“SPG”) Grids which included the collection and analysis of 1094 geochemical samples: 705 Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil and 26 conventional and talus soil; 30 stream sediment, 236 rock and 98 check samples (Assessment Report 33345). The historic X Zone VMS horizon on the UPG has been traced via IP and geochemical surveys to the south onto the LPG in Strohn Creek Valley where a zoned, VMS type MMI anomaly has been significantly expanded in 2011, with a current strike length of about 750 metre and open to the northwest. Frontline Gold Corporation also completed 4 diamond drill holes totalling 1170 metres (Assessment Report 33574). The work comprised the drill evaluation of two VTEM anomalies delineated in 2010, the Classic anomaly on the CG (drill hole DDHP11-02) and the Central anomaly on CTG (drill holes DDHP11-03, -04). A fourth hole (DDHP11-01, was drilled on the X-Zone on the UPG, 54 metres to the north, 15 metres to the east and 40 metres vertically above the X Zone discovery hole DDHP06-04. DDHP11-02 intersected strong alteration (silica, carbonate, epidote, chlorite) along with vein, stringer and disseminated sulfides (pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite) mostly associated with Hazelton pyroclastic rocks over most of the 370-metre core length. The character and style of the alteration and mineralization in DDHP11-02 was thought to be typical and characteristic of a footwall feeder zone.

In 2012, Frontline and Geofine continued work on the contiguous Lord Nelson tenures (LNT) and Poly Tenures (PT). Work was done on the LNX zone located on the Ridge Bowl Grid (RBG) (Assessment Report 33882). This work included the collection of 88 rock samples, 8 silt samples and 80 soil samples.

In 2015, Millrock Resources Inc purchased the Poly Tenures from Geofine and the Mill Tenures from Dynasty Capital LLC and John Gaetz. Under a Notice of Assignment from Geofine, Millrock optioned the 5 Poly Lord Nelson Tenures (“LNT”) from Teuton Resources Corporation to obtain a 100 per cent interest. The Todd Property now contiguous with the Poly Property to the southeast formed the Todd-Poly Property

In 2016, Millrock Resources Inc. conducted a program that consisted of 3 phases of work: magnetic susceptibility (MS) studies on several historic drill holes; numerous compilations and generation of new products from the historic data base; and, a field review to confirm a wide range of significant exploration targets on the Property (see Assessment Report 36183). A total of 1416 MS readings and hand magnet readings were taken on core from drill holes DDHTC08-06, DDHFC06-01A on the Knob and Fall Creek East Zones, respectively, on the Todd Tenures; and, from DDHP06-04 drilled on the X zone (Upper Grid) of the Poly Tenures.

In 2018, Millrock announced that three exploration projects in the Golden Triangle District - Oweegee Dome, Willoughby and Todd Creek - have been sold to Sojourn Exploration Inc.
