The property hosts the large Ajax porphyry molybdenum developed prospect that has been tested by 48 drill holes, beginning in the mid 1960's. The secure drill core from the 2005, 2006 and 2007 drilling programs was selectively resampled during the 2023 fieldwork and will be assayed for additional elements including gold, silver, cobalt, tungsten and rhenium. The drill core was also sampled by the British Columbia Geological Survey for critical mineral assays, fluid inclusion and age of mineralization work. Results are expected to be released in January, 2024.
The Ajax property is located approximately 12 km to the south south-east of Dolly Varden Silver, 7 km south of Big Bulk, 17 km east of Goliath Resources Golddigger/Surebet property.
