1984
Much of the surrounding area of James Bay, was considered to have been explored throughout the 1980's. It was in 1984, when a staking was made on this property by Monopros, Limited.
1988
The company at the time had carried out a ground magnetic survey on the property by cutting grids. It was rather stated that the grids were cut over each claim block at 100 meter line spacing. Much of the whole entire set up was considered to have directed each grid towards an east-west base line, and North-South Tie Lines. There was also small station pockets establish every 25 meters along the lines, which had chained out the distance from the base line.
A magnetometer survey was considered to have been carried out using EDA PPM-375 Units with an EDA PPM-375 or OMNI base station. It was also describe that the magnetic background of this field is considered to be flat with values at around 59,700 nT, and no anomalies were present.
Another Megnetic Survey was being carried on out on the V grid area, which soon resulted in the Grid V Anomaly. At the time it was stated that the magnetic area was reletively flat at 60,000 nT with four magnetic highs. Further examination of this survey revealed that the largest magnetic high of 61,123 nT is centered at 1+00 East, and 2+25 to the south. Some of the other magnetic highs intersected had indicated 60,950 nT at 2+ West and 4+75 to the south. More intersection had indicated a survey of 60,870 nT at 2+00 to the west, and 4+00 to the south. Company officials also recommended that four drill holes would have to be driven in these locations do to the size of the body.
Grid W was also being further explored when a ground magnetic survey had been establish. This whole entire survey procedure soon resulted in a bigger magnetic background of 59,950 nT, which was broken by a single small magnetic high of 60,899 nT at 4+00 to the west, and 9+50 to the North. Company officials at the time had also recommended that drill hole gets place at 4+00 W and 9+70 N to determine the source of this anomaly.
Even more discoveries were being made when Grid X was undergoing a ground megnetic surveying procedures at the time. Much of this whole entire magnetic background was considered to have been disrupted by a circular but complex anomaly peaking at 60,596 nT at 3+00 E and 5+00 S. There was also a low of 59,725 nT, which was discovered to the north at 2+00E and 2+75 S.
Ground Magnetic Surveying continued when another survey was conducted on grid Y, which resulted in a region magnetic background of 59,900 nT. The whole entire survey was also disrupted by a small high of 60,486 nT at 2+00 E and 1+50 N. More results from this survey indicated an association with a low of 59,774 nT to the north at 2+00 E and 2+75 North. There was also another disrubtion indicated to the south, and southeast, which was disturbed by a +100 nT Lobe.
1997
At the time it was rather stated that the Monopros, Limited had continued to operate this site by further explorations. Sampling had also taken place when the company had collected 22,195.0 Kg sample was taken from the X-Ray Kimberlite Pipe, and 649.6 Kg was obtained from the Whisky Kimberlite Pipe. Much of the whole entire material was considered to have been collected using MHD Reverse Circulation Drills. Company officials at the time had also completed a complete detailed ground geophysics in order to define the outline of the Kimberlite for further drilling in the X-Ray Zone. In addition to this the company did not complete any ground geophysics on the Whisky Kimberlite Pipe Zone. The main purpose for establishing this exploration was to recover macrodiamonds from the X-Ray Kimberlite to determine its economic potential. Almost all the material collected from the Whisky Kimberlite Pipe Zone is being used for mineral chemistry.
Much of the whole entire formations is considered to be within the Attawapiskat Kimberlite Cluster, which is found near the Attawapiskat River, and some 100 km west of James Bay. Much of this area is formed by the superior Structural province of the Canadian Shield. For the most part its stated that Paleozoic Rocks are considered to overly the precambrian basement rock of the superior, and obtain a thickness of up to 800 m within the moose river basin. The whole entire rock formations is known to range from Ordovician at the contact with the shield rocks to the west, and silurian rocks, which are known to cover most of the lowlands. This whole entire geological area is also made up of shales, limestones, dolomites, siltstones, and sandstones. Formations of these are considered to be overlain by glacial, and recent discoveries varying from 0 to 150m in thickness.
The whole entire 1997, exploration program had soon resulted in the recovery of 96 Macrodiamonds from the kimberlite obtained. Further descriptions had stated that macrodiamonds are known as stones which are greater then 1.0 mm. Other locations had also recovered 71 macrodiamond from the northeast blow, and 25 macrodiamond were recovered from the southeast blow.

Manopros, Limited had continued to conduct further explorations of this area within this time period. Geotechnical Diamond drilling within this time period had consisted of five holes in order to determined the formation of this area further. It was also this time when the company had uncovered what was known as the Victor Kimberlite Pipe. Its commonly considered to also consist two bodies known as the Victor Main, and the Victor Southwest. These area were rather the main target exploration areas from 1989, to 1999, using air and ground magnetic surveys. Much of this explorations procedure was also followed by rapid drilling procedures to outline the kimberlite pipe areas. More information had revealed that these two kimberlite areas are classed as pyroclassic, which have formed, and filled craters.
The Victor Main Diamond Body is considered to be the most largest of the two bodies, and may consist up to three separate crater events. It rather reported that this area covers a surface dimension of 575 m to the north-south, by 300 m east-west. Much of the kimberlite formation is broken into three ore areas, which are base on Kimberlite Texture, and Grade.
Another area known as the Victor South-west is commonly located to the south-west of the Victor Main Ore Zone. This geological area is considered to be separated by a poorly delineated of insitu country rock formation. Diamond drilling within these sections have confirmed similar pyroclassic Kimberlite in both, the Victor Main, and the Victor South-West. Much of the host rock which surrounds the kimberlite zones is known to be lower sedimentary sequences of the Moose River Basin. Further geological examinations had reported that the Ordovician aged basin began forming -450 Ma .
