The company recently completed a "down the hole" geophysical survey on the property. The company was able to re-open several historical diamond drill holes so that geophysical instrument probes could be placed in the holes. An Induced Polarization ("IP"), and an Electro Magnetic ("EM") geophysical survey was conducted in selected historical holes. McFarlane plans to drill a minimum of 3,000 meters in part to confirm historical gold intersections on the property and then, using data from the recent geophysical surveys, target areas to materially expand the gold mineralization.

Figure 2 shows a long section through the old mine workings and outlines some target drilling areas. Historical drilling intercepts include a 27.9 metre intersection of 6.4 grams per tonne ("gpt") of gold containing 8.1 metres of 15.7 gpt gold.

On September 10, 2024, the company announced a recent sample taken at the site, from what is interpreted to have been historic ore from the McMillan Gold Mine, which returned 87.4 gpt gold, 0.59% copper and anomalous cobalt and nickel (see release Sept 10, 2024). The presence of polymetallic gold-copper mineralization at the McMillan Mine presents an opportunity to add significant value to the property and will be tested during the upcoming drill program.
