Work History
Staked as D.K. cl 1-16 (YA67003), cl 17-24 (YA67162) and cl 25-48 (YA67309) in August and Sep/81 by the Karst Syndicate (K.J. Springer, Dome Mines Ltd and others), which performed mapping and geochem sampling in 1981 and 1982.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by Middle Ordovician impure limestone and dolomite of the Sunblood Formation and Silurian to Lower Devonian shale of the Road River Group. A high zinc background was obtained over the shale, but copper and lead response was low.
