Work History
Staked as Wad cl (YA33685) in Jul/78 by Cominco L, which conducted mapping and soil sampling later in the year. Restaked as SAS cl (YA57813) in Mar/81 by Gulf Mls, which performed mapping and geochem sampling later in the year.
Restaked as Andy cl (YB34210) by Cominco Ltd in Aug/91.
Capsule Geology
Coarse sphalerite and galena occur in Devonian siltstone, shale and interbedded chert near the contact of a Cretaceous intrusion. One soil anomaly, with coincident Pb (to 117 ppm), Zn (to 1800 ppm), Ag (to 4 ppm) and Ba (to 8400 ppm), was outlined but no mineral source was identified.
