-Pasfield Lake: 70 line-kilometres of transient magnetotelluric surveys
(AMT) completed in April, both infilling and extending the previous
grid.

-Riverlake & Highrock: 211 line-kilometres of ground EM surveys
completed in April on four grids.

-Mann Lake: 2,534 metres of drilling in three holes, finished in April

-Pasfield Lake: 30 line-kilometres of soil and biogeochemistry (>800
samples) completed in July on the AMT grid that spans the Cable Bay
Shear Zone east of the lake.

-Pasfield Lake: a 140 line-kilometre airborne 3-D Full Tensor gravity
gradient survey has mobilized, and is designed specifically to produce
forward-modeled gravity profiles across the uplift block.

-Riverlake & Highrock: grid-based soil geochemistry is planned for
early August, and will cover conductors defined on both airborne and
ground EM surveys.

-West Carswell: a 35 line-kilometre transient magnetotelluric survey
(AMT) is planned for August on one grid with 7 lines designed for three
dimensional modeling of conductors associated with the Harrison Shear
Zone.

-Riverlake & Highrock: 2,500 metres of diamond drilling contracted to
Northwest Drilling for September will test highest priority, near
surface targets.

-Stony Road: 3,000 metres of diamond drilling contracted to River
Valley Energy Services for October to test coincident airborne and
ground conductors.

-Pasfield Lake: 3,000 metres of drilling planned for November-December
to test the Cable Bay Shear Zone east of the lake using results from
the summer geochem, AMT and gravity surveys.

-West Carswell: 3,000 metres of diamond drilling planned for
January-February 2009 will test the Harrison Shear Zone using results
