- Mechanical stripping at Forty Creek to trace the extent of the sub-cropping high-grade gold and silver mineralization.
- soil surveying of the porphyry alteration zone, where a large Au-Cu-Mo soil geochemistry anomaly remains open to the southwest and is partly covered by a lake that will be tested via lake sediment sampling
- Geological investigations will be performed in an attempt to define a volcanic center coincident with the porphyry system and to better understand the tectonic deformation of the system.
- Magnetic anomalies defined by TerraX's 2011 airborne survey will be field checked in order to determine whether or not they are related to potassic alteration.
The Stewart property is comprised of 242 claims totaling 60.5 sq. km, located 30 km north-northeast of the town of Marystown on the Burin Peninsula, which is part of the Avalon Terrane. The Avalon Terrane hosts several epithermal/porphyry gold-copper deposits, including the past-producing Hope Brook deposit in Newfoundland.

TerraX Minerals Inc. is also one of the major landholders of prospective ground in the burgeoning Marmion Batholith gold district near Atikokan, Ontario, host to Osisko Mining Corporation's (TSX: OSK) Hammond Reef gold deposit which contains a National Instrument 43-101-compliant global inferred resource of 530.6 million tonnes at 0.62 grams per tonne Au (10.52 million ounces gold). The Osisko Technical Report on this project is available on SEDAR. TerraX is actively exploring three wholly-owned gold exploration projects, the Sunbeam-Pettigrew, Central Canada and Blackfly (2.0 m @10.96 g/t Au reported March 4, 2011) properties, all of which are located within 20 km of the town of Atikokan, 180 km west of Thunder Bay, and are within 19 km of the Hammond Reef gold deposit.
