The property is approximately 64 km west of the city of Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Excellent access is provided by Hwy 66 from Kirkland Lake. Explor currently owns 184 mining claims for a total of 3432 contiguous hectares in the area. The most obvious feature in the area is the Young Davidson Mine 10 kilometres to the east of the property. Northgate has reported exploration results up to 46.8 grams/tonne over 9.1 meters on their Young Davidson Property, as per the Northgate press release dated December 20, 2007. The property is located in a greenstone belt composed mainly of sequences of meta-sedimentary rocks descriptively similar to the Temiskaming meta-sedimentary rocks found in the Kirkland Lake area.
