Work History
Staked as Box cl (Y64632) in Aug/72 by H. Brodell. Restaked as Boh-Dow cl (YA20051) in May/77 by J. Melnychuk, who restaked again in Sep/79 as Boss cl (YA45687) and hand trenched in 1980.
Capsule Geology
The claims cover the contact of a granodiorite batholith with limy sedimentary rocks of Lower Cambrian age. Local lenses of pyrite and pyrrhotite are common in the hornfels zone near the contact and have weathered to form prominent gossans.
