Work History
Staked as Quill cl (YA70984) in May/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 explored with mapping, geochem and mag surveys in 1987 and road construction in 1988. The claims were returned to Quillo and High River in Dec/89.
Capsule Geology
Several large boulders (up to 1.5 m across) of massive pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite and rare pyrite were found in quartzite and phyllite talus of Lower Cambrian or earlier age. The massive sulphide boulders are thought to be derived from an extensive stockwork vein system. A specimen of pyrrhotite-rich float assayed 0.3 g/t Au, 2.4 g/t Ag and 6.6% As; a specimen of the arsenopyrite-rich float assayed 2.8 g/t Au, 2.4 g/t Ag and 32.8% As.
