The Vendôme Sud property is reported to contain several VMS and MMS geophysical targets, one of which is a historical Ni-Cu deposit first discovered in the early 1960's, other targets have been drill tested by previous operators to contain zinc, silver and gold. The Vendors of the property completed a high-resolution helicopter TDEM / Magnetic geophysical survey in early 2014, that has yet to be followed up; where 11 strong, plus 4 very strong anomalies were recommended for follow-up exploration.
