The Halo-Goldcorp Joint Venture is exploring 15 sq. km. located 25 km west of the Red Lake mines which have produced 25 million ounces of gold.  Relatively unexplored for 70 years, recent field programs identified samples with up to 172 g/t gold, 6% nickel and 2% cobalt coincident with geophysical anomalies. 

During October 2006, Halo commenced a mapping, sampling and prospecting program focused on the Middle Bay-May Spiers area with the objective of developing an understanding of the geological setting and to confirm the presence of gold mineralization west of Middle Bay. Sampling of old trenches located between the historic Miles Red Lake showing and the May-Spiers deposit successfully confirmed the presence of significant gold, silver and copper mineralization and the results of a whole rock geochemistry program confirms the favorability of the underlying geology for the discovery of these metals. For example, a sample collected near the 9-44 “shaft” located in the center of the Halo property returned 81 g/t Au, 100 g/t Ag and 4.61% Cu over a width of 0.7 m. Under the terms of an option agreement with Goldcorp, Halo can earn a 60% interest in 67 mining claims, a 45% interest in two mining claims, and a 30% interest in ten mining claims by December 31, 2008.
