Work History
Staked as Mum cl (Y41777) in Dec/69 by Canol ML and restaked as TAKU cl (YA28145) in Nov/77 by Noranda ECL, which performed a geochem survey in 1979. The Duca cl (YA46786) were tied on in Nov/79 by J. Atkinson.
J.S. Dodge staked Gamma 1-2 cl (YB34970) 2 km to the northwest in Jul/92, and mapped and sampled in Jul/93.
Capsule Geology
Claims cover a small Mississippian syenite stock and associated felsic tuffs which are cut by veinlets containing minor sphalerite and galena.
The Gamma claims cover a moderate radioactive anomaly.
