Capsule

Work History

Staked as CC cl (Y23157) 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 late 1969 and drilled one hole (187.4 m) in 1970 on the CC91 claim.

Capsule Geology

The claims lie in the overburden covered Yukon River valley. Drilling cut 140.2 m of flat lying Quaternary basalt overlying 8.8 m of regolith capping granodiorite of the Whitehorse Stock. Overburden depth was 29.9 m.
