Capsule
Work History
Staked as CC cl (Y23153) in Jan/68 by Lewes River ML, which flew an airborne mag survey later in the year. Optioned in Sep/69 by Canex, which conducted ground mag and IP surveys in 1970. Restaked as Chap cl (Y92088) in Feb/75 by R.E. Chaplin, who explored with prospecting and an EM survey later in the year.
Capsule Geology
The claims lie in the overburden covered Yukon River valley and cover the northeastern contact of the Whitehorse Stock. Minor quantities of glacial float containing chalcopyrite in limestone and garnet-diopside skarn were found along the northeast shore of Chadburn Lake.
