Work History
Staked as Skin cl (YA29215) in Jun/78 by Klinkit JV (DuPont of Can EL & Duval Corp), which conducted mapping and sampling in 1978 and 1979.
Capsule Geology
Minor cassiterite and pyrite are associated with two alteration zones near the top of the Cretaceous Seagull Batholith. One consists of a pipe-like body containing fluorite, a uranium mineral, arsenopyrite, lepidomelane and quartz-clay alteration. The other is a quartz-tourmaline greisen zone.
