I'd say there's a potential deposit around the North Pit.
Odd as it is - drilling North, North West, South, South West of the North Pit never performed that i know of.
If we compare a few drill holes that passed through Scadding mine pit - entering the Bristol + Monaco structure - we can see there's gold on the opposite side of Scad mine - which may indicate - could be the same for - North pit - westerly.
One hole passing through Scad mine - encountered -
49m of gold. So... what's the overview of North Pit ? Here are a few drill holes not poltted on the map - one can fill the blanks
SM-19-006 – Hit 2 structures, 1.18 g/t Au over 2.55 m and -1.30 g/t Au over 4.23 m
SM-19-007 – Hit nothing of any significance – intersected diabase dyke where mineralization was projected to be
SM-19-008 – Hit 3.6 g/t Au over 6 m including 21.5 g/t Au over 0.8 m

What else is interesting ?
McDonald Mines eventually took over ( purchased ) the Scadding CLaims.
Currie Rose also perofrmed drilling along with several other former juniors.
There are 2 drill holes with data that Currie owned - but since Mc Donald now .owns the claims - i wonder where one could allocate these Currie former drill holes ?
- 11.6 g/t Au over 8.7 metres, including 35.9 g/t over 2.44
- 7.05 g/t Au over 9.91 metres including 12.18 g/t over 2.59 metres
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of data - several maps all with different data - And well... one map with all data would be nice to see to make sense of what they rerally have.

Should the North Pit see expansion ? North westerly, Westerly, North, North Easterly.
No brainer. Should have taken presidence over Jovan.
The east pit became a fixation and well..., you know the rest of the story.
Just my own opinion.
