Work History
Staked as Thistle & Aurora cl (4724) in Aug/05 by J.M. Pooley, who transferred the claims to J.H. Conrad and British Yukon Gold ML. The property was explored with a 16.2 m shaft and 9.1 m x-cut on the Thistle and 51.8 m adit on the Aurora about 1906-07, surveyed in 1910 and taken to lease in 1911.
Restaked as Stewart cl (90614) in Sep/64 by J. Scott and C. Eminger, who performed bulldozer trenching, mapping and geophysics in 1969 and 1970. B. Fulcher staked the Gold cl (Y78168) on the south side in Mar/74. The showing was fringe staked as GHI cl (YA24104) in May/79 by United Keno Hill ML. In Aug/94 J. Phelps staked the JJ cl (YB54499) and J. Robb staked the Rob cl (YB54500) on the northeast side of the Stewart claim.
Restaked as Bet cl 1-18 (YC08521) by J. Barrett et al. in Jan/98.
Capsule Geology
Quartz veins containing chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrite and stephanite cut intermediate volcanic flows and plugs of Cretaceous age.
