Access to the prospect area can be by four-wheel-drive truck, all-terrain vehicle, boat and motor or snowmobile. Anglo American conducted exploration in the early 2000s in the Grass River and Thompson–East area.

strong EM anomalies of conductor zone 23. These Ni concentrations are comparable to many of the values from till deposits directly overlying or within 750 metres of Pipe Lake, Thompson C Pit and Soab Lake mine (McClenaghan et al.). In addition, high Ag assay values of 771, 363 and 246 ppb were recorded for till samples recovered from boreholes sampled on this claim.

Additional till exploration (18 boreholes were augered and sampled in September 2021) on the second drill target of Zone 23. Till samples have been submitted to ALS Vancouver laboratories for ICP exploration package analysis. Bryce Bay

Till of the Bryce Bay claims (MB 9514, MB10467, MB12045) located North of EM conductor zones recorded by the Anglo Spectrum survey has anomalous high As, Au, Ag, Pt, Pd and Cr concentrations. Of particularly interest are high As values of 505 ppm – 100 times soil background levels, indicating a potential Nikeline source, and elevated to high Au, Ag and Cr concentrations. Initial channel sampling of a massive sulphide vertical dipping vein up – ice of the anomalous till. Provided Ag values of 3.13 ppm, Cu values of 8500 ppm and Co values up to 1610 ppm. Contact info

A fellow member of the Manitoba Prospectors and Developers Association (MPDA), Doug Fogwill, passed away on Friday, June 11, 2021, at the age of 83. He is remembered as a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin and brother. Our membership remembers Doug as a good friend, and an avid supporter of the mineral exploration business.

Doug was born in St. John's, Newfoundland on March 25, 1938, to Irving and Jennie Fogwill. In 1960, he graduated with his B.Sc. in Geology from the Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s, and went on to do post-grad work at the London School of Economics, the Colorado School of Mines and the University of Saskatchewan.

For many years, Doug served as a director and officer for the MPDA. In addition, he was member of the Manitoba Association of Professional Engineers & Geoscientists, a lifetime member of the PDAC, as well as a former district vice-president of the CIMM.

After his retirement from the Manitoba Department of Energy and Mines, he worked as prospector and consulting geologist in mineral industry. He participated in many mineral discoveries, including copper-nickel, uranium deposits and new gold mineralization in Manitoba. He had always joked that he is a 'rock doctor from the rock'.

A celebration of life service was held on Saturday, July 10 at Barrett's Funeral Home in St. John's, Newfoundland. He is buried at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or any local Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. 6
