Capsule

Exploration History

Staked as Cotton cl (Y77236) in Sep/73 by D. Martin.

Drew MacDonald restaked the property as PGMC cl (YB8974) in Nov/87, tied on Quiet cl (YB13912) in Jun/88, performed reconnaissance geochemistry and trenched the northeast target in 1988, and performed linecutting on the CL and trenching on the Lindsay claims in 1989. Yukon Oil and Gas performed blast trenching on the Lindsay, ML, and CL cl in Aug/93, and further sampling on the Lindsay cl in Nov/93.

Capsule Geology

The original staking followed the discovery of copper float in an area of extensive overburden. Transported iron-manganese gossans are common and are related to bodies of serpentinized dunite and peridotite. Moderately anomalous copper and nickel values coincide with magnetic and IP anomalies which are probably caused by magnetite and sulphides in the ultramafic rocks.
