Work History

Staked as GW cl (YA44033) in Jun/79 by Klinkit JV (DuPont of Can EL & Duval Corp), which explored with mapping and geochem sampling later in the year.
In Apr/97 Fairfield Minerals Ltd staked Cl cl 1-100 (YB89142) 10 km to the west. The company staked Cl cl 101-122 (YB89643) in Jul/97.

Capsule Geology

The claims are underlain by hornfelsed Carboniferous clastic and carbonate rocks (Yukon Tanana Terrane), intruded by a small Cretaceous Seagull stock of diorite composition. The claims were staked on a tin geochem anomaly but no mineralization was found.
