Results from the 2008 drilling campaign of 30,000 m were incorporated into the new resource estimate which was released in late 2008. In prior years, Marathon drilled 40,000 m during 2007 and completed a 25,000 m campaign for the 2006. Continuity of the PGM-Cu mineralization has allowed for continued expansion of the overall resource, resulting in the large tonnage mining potential developed by Marathon.
Geomaque Exploration (subsequently Defiance Mining Corporation) had an option (which has since expired) to purchase the Marathon property in 2001. Geomaque had spent over CDN$1 million on the property and had estimated a Mineral Resource on the property based on the results of 114 diamond drill holes.
