Work History
First staked as Peg and Bell cl (69992) in March/55 as part of a large block by Bell Asbestos in 1955. Restaked as Dody cl (75180) in Aug/60 by E. Asp; and as Hans cl (77843) in May/62 by H. Sarge. These were optioned by Canex, which did a mag survey and bulldozer trenching before dropping the property in Sep/63. It was immediately reoptioned by Cominco, which did more surface surveys in 1964.
Restaked as TP, etc cl (Y36431.) in Aug/69 by Cassiar Asbestos Corp L. A. Kopinec staked the A cl (Y91241) 1.6 km southwest in Sep/74.
Capsule Geology
Weakly developed, poor quality chrysotile fibre occurs in a dunite body that occurs with mafic volcanic rocks along a major regional thrust fault.
