History

In 2005 Messrs. Rand, Edgar and Smyth staked a contiguous block of mineral claims ~1,200 square kilometers in extent.  This constituted the largest set of mineral claims in BC history, and was made possible by the changeover in 2005 in BC from ground staking to online staking.

The subsequent history of the property is set out in the timeline below.
