The Andy 1-20 claims were acquired by staking and are 100% owned by Minvita. A soil geochemical sampling program conducted by Minvita in 1997 over a small portion of the property outlined an intense nickel-arsenic anomaly 650 metres long (2,100+ feet), open to extension to the southeast. Nickel values in this survey were among the highest geochemical results recorded in the region, peaking at 5,000+ ppm. The association of arsenic with nickel is significant, because arsenic often accompanies platinum group elements. Platinum group elements were not analyzed for at the time.

The Cogburn property of Leader Mining International (“LMN” - CDNX) is situated about a mile east of the Andy claims, along the same belt of ultrabasic rocks. Leader has commenced a surface program to assess the nickel and PGE potential of the property. Government assessment reports show that 1970’s geochemical sampling of this property established very wide-spread anomalous nickel values. The property was also drilled but detailed records are not available: certain summary accounts indicate this drilling indicated a very large tonnage, low-grade nickel deposit.

On July 23, 2001 Leader Mining announced that it had identified geochemically significant amounts of platinum group metals in recent samples from the Cogburn property.

Teuton Resources Corp. owns the Roman claims, located between Minvita’s Andy claims and Leader’s Cogburn property. Work done in the 1970’s and 1980’s shows highly anomalous levels of nickel and cobalt in soil and stream sediment geochemical samples from the Roman property.
