Work History
Staked as Charlie cl (YA36589) in May/79 by CUB JV (Cassiar Asbestos Corp, Highland Crow Res L and Union Carbide Can L), which performed limited mapping and geochem sampling later in the year.
Capsule Geology
The claims cover silty limestone of the Cambro-Ordovician Rabbitkettle Formation in contact with Cretaceous granodiorite. Scheelite-bearing garnet-diopside skarn up to 10 m wide occurs along the contact but grades only 0.14% WO3 across 5 m.
