Highlights of the 2009 Toodoggone exploration program to date are as follows:
- A low-level airborne magnetic geophysical program was flown over approximately 2/3rds of the property (~20,000 hectares) in April.
- The Toodoggone Camp was ready in early June after snow removal and set-up
- Road grading, bridge repair and building repairs were required due to heavy snow pack
- Line cutting in preparation for an Induced Polarization geophysical survey started on the June 4th
- The Induced Polarization geophysical survey began on June 18th. Interesting anomalies are indicated by preliminary analysis, the full significance, of which, remains to be evaluated
- Geologic mapping, sampling and review of historic core are underway. Infill rock chip sampling is expected to enhance the understanding of overall metal zoning
- A program of ~4,000 metres of HQ core drilling is scheduled for early August. Initial holes are in the Pine mineralized zone. Additional drill locations are dependent on the compilation of geology, air-mag and IP results
- All permits are in place
- Discussions with First Nations Groups about environmental, archeological and employment opportunities are proceeding
- Total camp population is in the order of 35 to 40 people
