This area lies in the northwest region of the 4000 foot by 5000 foot Red Bird intrusion and was identified as a prime target for drilling by the soil and chip sampling and ground geophysics carried out in Torch's 2006 program on Red Bird (see the August 15, 2006 release at our web-site, http://www.torchriver.ca ).
