Furthermore, Darnley Bay Resources has acquired additional properties in the Pine Point area. The latest acquisition includes eight claims amounting to 3,490ha, which will get added to nearly 18,000ha already held by the company in this region. 

At Pine Point, lead and zinc mineralisation is predominantly found in three main trends at the North Trend, Main Trend and South Trend, where little exploration has previously been conducted.

Darnley Bay has planned to start an induced polarisation survey on the new claims after it received permission for the newly staked property.
