Home to the Straw Lake Beach Gold Mine, Shotgun Exploration was created in 2005 with the purchase of the property. Since the purchase, over 8,000 acres adjoining the property has been claimed ( Approx. 32 sq. KM's ) - Keeping the nearest 2,500 acres +/- currrently in good standing till 2010.

On November 20th to 22nd, 2006 - At the Winnipeg Mining Convention, Shotgun Exploration talked to 5 or 6 Companies about the property. By November 27th, a claims staking rush occurred surrounding the property. Unfortunately this was done by one company, speculative with no interest or ability to explore in the area. This company has since changed their name - same old story...

As of November, 2009 - the area has seen activity by several reputable prospectors who have active claims adjoining or near the Straw Lake Property.

As of January 2010 - the majority of the claims in the area are open for staking. The nearest 6,000 acres to the Gold Mine are taken and in good standing till 2012.

Shotgun Exploration plans to continue an extensive work program in 2010 - Mechanical Stripping, Pressure Washing, Mapping and Sampling will be carried out on approximately 2,500 acres of claimed land (Surrounding the Gold Mine).
