Work History
Staked as AD, First Chance, Allin and Iron Mask cl (8568) in Jun/06 by A. Dickson, J. Shermer and J.M. Stewart. The property was sold to A.B. Palmer, who added Douglas, etc cl (9779) in Jun/07 and carried out hand trenching and claim surveying before taking the claims to lease in 1910.
Restaked as Rover cl 1-8 (65599) by J. Johns in Jul/53; as JJ cl 1-8 (Y9050) in Jul/66 by A. Johns; and JM cl 1-8 (Y18878) in Jun/67 by J. Amato for R.G. Hilker and M. Hougen, who added Apollo cl 1-34 (Y23893) in Feb/68. T. Gerard prospected the area to the northwest from May to Jul/68.
In 1968 Lion Nickel Mines of Canada Ltd optioned the claims and carried out geological mapping, prospecting, blast trenching, magnetometer and EM surveying and staked Apollo cl 35-37 (Y25862) in Aug/68. Trenching was carried out in 1970 by Hilker.
Restaked as Jube cl 1-6 (YC08041) in Aug/97 by B. Scott and B. Carter who carried out reconaissance geological mapping, prospecting and geochemcial sampling in 1998.
Scott and Carter restaked the area contiguous to the north as Harry cl 1-6 (YC09123) in Oct/98, before adding Harry cl 7-8 (YC15299) and Harry cl 9-10 (YC19546) in Jun/99 and Jun/2002, respectively. Recent work in this area has been focused on these newly staked claims which cover the adjoining Minfile Occurrence #105D 157 and is reported as part of that occurrence.
Capsule Geology
Pyrrhotite and minor bornite, chalcopyrite and occasionally sphalerite occur as narrow lenses in diopside-garnet-epidote skarn developed in Carboniferous to Triassic Cache Creek Group bioclastic limestone near the contact of a dunite body. Geophysical surveying did not identify any magnetic anomalies and EM conductors do not correlate well with surface showings. Selected grab samples returned peak values of 1.5% Cu, 4.8 % Zn, 71 g/t Ag and traces of Au, with the best chip sample returning 0.75% Cu, 0.05% Mo and 6.2 g/t Ag.
