Work History
Staked as Ketza & HR cl (YA74202) in Oct/84 by a joint venture between Quillo Res Inc and High River Res L, which performed mapping and geochem sampling in 1985 and transferred the property to Canamax Res L, which carried out mapping, geochem and mag surveys in 1987 and road construction in 1988. The claims were returned to Quillo and High River in Dec/89.
R. Rivet tied on Brault cl (Y99835) to the west and south in Mar/87 and transferred them to Quillo Res Inc in Oct/88.
Capsule Geology
Two showings of massive sulphide float were found. One is a 7 by 0.8 m lens of pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite at the footwall contact of an ENE-trending quartz vein. This showing occurs at the top of a bed of Lower Cambrian limestone which is unconformably overlain by shale. A grab sample assayed 10.3 g/t Au, 0.24 g/t Ag, 1.7% As and 0.2% Pb.
The other showing consists of pyrrhotite-pyrite talus along a northwest-trending fault that cuts carbonate rocks. A grab sample assayed 17.1 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, 0.5% Pb and 0.1% Cu.
