Goldeye Explorations Ltd. recently received a report from noted geologist Roly Ridler who reports the geology of the company's Tyrrell Township property located on Highway 560, about 60 kilometres west of Elk Lake Elk Lake may refer to

 is strikingly similar to other rich gold deposits such as Kirkland Lake Kirkland Lake, mining town, E Ont., Canada. An important gold-mining center, gold was discovered there in 1911 and again in the 1980s at Harker. The mining of iron ore and tourism are two other important industries. .

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  Blaine Webster. "He tells us it has the potential of a Kirkland Lake. The rock types are the same. There is the same structural control and we've got gold."

 work, including several trenches to fill out a "bigger picture" of the property, Webster says.

"Usually, you expand a zone and the grade drops. Here, we expanded the zone and the grade came up," he says. "We're starting to get hundred-dollar rock here and, you start getting that, you've got yourself a mine."
