Work History
Staked as Kim cl (Y75367) in Mar/73 by J.M. Scott. McCrory Holdings staked Bo cl (YA82811) 2 km to the north in Aug/84, while S. McKeown tied on Smart Ass cl (YB08282) to the south side of Kim in Sep/87. M. Bile staked Tiak cl (YB27077) 1.5 km to the south in Dec/89. J. O'Neill staked Raindrop cl 1-2 (YB06940) 3 km southwest in Aug/87 and Sandpiper cl 1-2 (YB21672) 2.5 km to the southwest in Sep/89 and prospected in 1991 and 1997. W. Phelps tied on EV cl 1-6 (YB27745) to the north side of Kim in Aug/90. B. Scott staked Au cl (YC08183) on the south side of Sandpiper in Sept/97.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by Cash Creek Group Mississippian metavolcanic rocks of the Nakina formation. O'Neil reported obtaining trace gold values (0.1 g/t) from samples of rare quartz/calcite veins found in outcrop on Sandpiper cl 2 in the late 1980's. Unmineralized quartz float was found in the area during prospecting in 1997. O'Neil also reported that gold had earlier been found in quartz veins on the adjoining Rainbow claims. The Rainbow claims covered the abandonded Venus Mine tailings pond and surrounding area.
