Work History
Staked as Too cl 1-20 (Y2510) in Mar/66 by Atlas Explorations Ltd on an anomaly discovered by Frances River Syndicate (Canex Aerial Exploration Ltd, Kerr Addison Mines Ltd & Newconex Canadian Exploration Ltd) in 1963. Atlas conducted limited mapping and geochemical sampling in 1966.
Restaked as Karen cl 1-32 (YA44969) in Jul/79 by Getty Canadian Minerals Ltd.
Restaked as Kar cl 1-6 (YD3369 in Mar/2010 by Strategic Metals Ltd.
Capsule Geology
In 1963, anomalous lead values were obtained from a large limonite gossan underlain by units Atlas Exploration mapped as lower Cambrian dolomite and phyllite. Atlas concluded that the anomaly was spurious and caused by a high pyrite content in the area.
The anomaly was revisited during a regional mapping program in 2009 (Pigage, Abbott and Roots, 2010). Indurated, subarkosic sandstones of the Crow Formation are pervasively altered to a white, soft, nonindurated, bedded fine siltstone. The strongly altered material is overlain by an extensive orange ferricrete which continues downstream for over a kilometer. The upper boundary of the ferricrete zone in the valley extends approximately east-west in a straight line perpendicular to the stream direction. Analyses from a sample of the ferricrete taken in 2009 returned anomalous values for lead (38.2 ppm), zinc (218.2 ppm), nickel (95.9 ppm), cobalt (90.5 ppm), manganese (>10 000 ppm), iron (33.2%) and arsenic (185.5 ppm). An analysis from a grab sample of the white altered material was anomalous in barium (1 907 ppm).
