Work History

Staked as Elf cl 1-48 (YB91731) by Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Ltd in Sep/98, which carried out grid and contour soil sampling in 1999.

Capsule Geology

Follow-up of regional geochemical silt samples, collected by Hudson Bay, prompted the staking of the claims which cover Late Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian Hyland Group hornfelsed sediments in a contact aureole adjacent to a mid-Cretaceous, Selwyn Suite intrusive stock. Grid soil sampling identified a 1 200 m x 400 m multi-element anomaly with peak values of 676.7 ppb Au, 639.3 As and 323.4 Bi.
