Work History
Staked as Can cl (YA21333) in Jul/77 by DC Synd (Dome & Cominco), which conducted mapping, geochem and mag surveys in 1978 and 1979 and hand trenching in 1980 and 1981.
Capsule Geology
A magnetite skarn showing occurs in Carboniferous clastic and carbonate rocks (Yukon Tanana Terrane) at the margin of the Cretaceous Seagull Batholith. Mineralization consists of cassiterite and other tin minerals with minor scheelite. Surface sampling gave assays up to 1.2% Sn and 0.5% WO3 across 2.1 m.
