Capsule
Work History
Staked as a large block of DU cl (YA28903) in Jun/78 by Klinkit JV (DuPont of Can EL & Duval Corp), which explored with mapping and geochem sampling in 1978-80 and drilled one hole (215 m) in 1981. The DuPont interest was transferred to CSA Mls Inc in 1984 and to Goldsearch Inc in 1985.
Capsule Geology
Narrow (1-4 cm), tin-bearing quartz veins are associated with a prominent gossan within the Cretaceous Seagull Batholith. Drilling encountered extensive greisen development but only low tin values.
