Work is focused on the Chrome Extension and Peterson blocks. The latter, a severely faulted portion of the Bird River sill, is home to several coincident magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies. Immediately along strike to the south, the Chrome block hosts 5.5 million tonnes grading 6.9% chromite.
Some surface showings in the area have returned up to 2.5 grams combined platinum-palladium.
Gossan recently staked two claims totalling 2 sq. km, along a 3-km strike length of the Bird River sill. The claims cover a structural block known as the National Ledin. Gossan now holds more than 13 km of the Bird River sill on landholdings that comprise 15 sq. km.
Locally, the intrusive body is 500-600 metres thick and consists of a lower ultramafic series, an overlying transition series, and an upper mafic series.
