Work History
Staked as Jack, etc cl (Y18350) in Jun/67 by T. Worbets. Rediscovered by C.J.R. Hart and D. Brent in 1993 during regional mapping. Picks and shovels were found on the property.
Capsule Geology
Claims were staked over Lewes River Group marble near a contact with Late Triassic granite and Eocene rhyolite. The marble is coarsely crystalline and sheared. Lenses of magnetite skarn up to 10 m long contain garnet and sphalerite. A specimen assayed 23% Fe, 7994 ppm Zn and 11 ppm Bi.
