Capsule

Work History

Staked as Liard cl (Y7317) in Apr/66 following an airborne mag and EM survey by Atlas EL, which conducted prospecting and geochem surveys and later transferred the property to G.E. Stephen. Optioned in 1969 by Klondike EL and in 1971 by Wye Lake Res L, both of which performed only prospecting and geochem sampling.

Capsule Geology

Chalcopyrite occurs in narrow quartz veins cutting thin-bedded Cambrian to Silurian phyllite and limestone.
