Work History
Staked as HIG cl (Y98823) in Jun/75 by United Keno E (United Keno Hill ML, and Falconbridge Nickel ML) which explored by mapping and soil sampling later in the year. Restaked as Ajax cl (YA51354) in Sep/80 by J. Carson.
Capsule Geology
Minor chalcopyrite and molybdenite are found in weakly developed quartz veins and dry fractures over an area 900 m square in a granodiorite stock cut by aplite dykes. The mineralized area is weakly leached and exhibits possible low grade hydrothermal alteration. A selected specimen assayed 0.1% Mo and 0.03% Cu.
