Work History
Staked as CU cl (Y19016) in Aug/67 by G. Lishy. Restaked as Til cl (Y84019) in Mar/75 by A. Harman and optioned to Mountaineer ML, which explored with mapping and geochem sampling in 1976 and 1977. In 1978, SEREM L performed more mapping and geochem sampling under an option.
Cominco staked Quest (YB34288) and Bear (YB34218) cl 3 km to the south in Aug and Nov/91, added 145 Lay cl (YB34432) in Mar and Jul/92 and Son 1-3 cl (YB34960) in Jul/92, and performed linecutting and a geochemical survey on the Quest claims in July and August, 1992.
The 1993 program on the Fin and Lay claims consisted of 42 km of UTEM (University of Toronto Electromagnetic) surveying, 32 km of magnetic surveying and 26 km of HLEM (Horizontal Loop Electromagnetic) surveying.
Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd staked Mac cl 1-60 (YB77756) 1 km to the east in Feb/96. The company staked Mac cl 61-104 (YB84479) in Jun/96.
Capsule Geology
Hydrozincite is the only mineralization associated with a geochemical anomaly underlain by fractured Middle Devonian limestone about 1.6 km from the margin of a small Cretaceous stock.
On the Quest claims, Cominco's sampling outlined a moderate Pb-Zn soil anomaly. The 1993 geophysical surveys delineated several conductors and magnetic highs.
