In 2010 / 2011 geologists undertook soil and rock chip sampling programs over some previously unexplored portions of the Speewah Dome.
Numerous high grade Copper, Gold and Silver assays were found in surface rock samples, with the best results previously reported at 27.25% Copper, 25 ounces per tonne Silver and 4.97 grams per tonne Gold.
In September 2012, the Board of King River Copper was in receipt of an independent geological review of all previously known exploration data and as a result, a new geological model, with new priorities for Copper / Gold exploration has emerged.
