LOCATION AND OWNERSHIP
Planet’s primary property, the Sidace Lake Claims, comprises 63 unpatented contiguous mining claims covering an area of 12,224 Ha,
located 25 km northeast of Balmertown, Red Lake Mining Division, Ontario. The property is owned by Planet
as to 40% and Goldcorp Red Lake Gold Mines, an affiliate of Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) as to 60% under the
terms of a joint venture. The Sidace Lake property is subject to a 1% Net Smelter Royalty.
BRIEF HISTORY
Since 1998, when Planet first took an interest in the property, 237 diamond drill holes, totalling 85,658 metres
of NQ core have been drilled on the Sidace Lake joint venture, including 16 holes abandoned for logistical
reasons, 17 sidetrack wedges and 6 extensions to previously drilled holes. Initially, drilling was focussed on
exploration, following targets located by geophysics, which identified 7 zones of interest within a 2.5 x 3.0 km area. These are the Main Discovery Zone (“MDZ”), Upper Duck Zone (“UDZ”), Western Duck, Deep Footwall,
Far West, Skarn and the Anderson Zones. The following table shows progressive drilling on the property over
the years on the Sidace Lake property. Most efforts have concentrated on delineation and evaluation of the
MDZ and UDZ as areas of high potential.
