Work History
The area immediately to the east was staked as Yukon Zinc cl (77126) in Oct/61 by J.S. Kubiak and transferred to C.S. Walker. The showing was staked as New cl (Y64012) in Jul/71 by Spencer Creek ML, which carried out a geochem survey in 1971 and drilled one hole (26.5 m) in 1972.
Restaked as Hat cl (YA70864) in Feb/84 by Canamax Res Inc, which performed mapping and geochem sampling later in the year, and as Jim, Add, Red & Rand cl (YB584) in Jul/87 by First Yukon Silver Res Inc, which performed trenching in 1988 and road work, line cutting and soil sampling in 1989.
Restaked as Tackle cl 1-48 (YB75398) by Archer, Cathro and Associates (1981) Ltd in Feb/96.The company staked Tackle cl 49-64 (YB87360) in Sep/96.
Capsule Geology
Galena and sphalerite-bearing float was found in an area mapped as Lower Cambrian limestone. Quartzite and schist also occur on the claims. The drill log reported no mineralization other than pyrite and magnetite in limestone, greenstone and skarn.
