Early exploration on the White Lake property began in 1910 when the Major Leckie shaft was sunk on a 20cm - 25cm vein with massive Cobalt sulphides. The work was abandoned due to only trace amounts of Silver.

In 1981, a short prospecting program was conducted to assess the known historic Cobalt occurrences and field check magnetics and electro-magnetic anomalies. The White Lake- Saturday Lake, and the Major Leckie White Lake showing were visited. The White Lake showing consists of a 5cm - 10cm quartz vein along the southern shore of White Lake with Cobaltite, Niccolite and significant Cobalt bloom. Sampling from the showing returned values up to 7.16% Cobalt, 2.00% Nickel and 1.5g/t Silver.

The property is underlain by Huronian metasedimentary rocks of the Gowganda and Lorrain Formations which are intruded by large lobate bodies of the Nipissing Diabase. 

The contact between the Lorrain and the Gowganda Formations appears to control the location of the diabase body which is coincident with the trace of a major north-northwest-south-southeast fault. 

To the north on the adjacent McAra property, one of these regional northwest-southeast trending faults hosts the McAra Resource. 

At McAra as well as White Lake these regional structures are clearly defined by the magnetics and are a focus of ongoing exploration.

At White Lake there are four known Cobalt-Silver occurrences and three historic workings. Cobalt mineralization is hosted in quartz-calcite veins in the Nipissing Diabase and occurs as Smaltite with significant Cobalt and Nickel bloom. 

BMR has undertaken airborne magnetics and radiometric surveys along with a LIDAR topography survey in 2018. 

Preliminary field work focussed on the known historic occurrences associated with the regional structural corridors included prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling.  

Encouraging assay results from rock grab samples produced values up to 5.82% Cobalt and 10.75% Nickel.
