Capsule
Work History
Staked as Rush cl (YA56459) in Aug/80 by Amax. Restaked as part of a large block of Star cl (YB10208) in Dec/87 by Welcome North ML, which performed airborne magnetic, EM and VLF-EM surveys and mapping, prospecting and soil sampling in 1988.
Capsule Geology
The claims overlie a small Tertiary quartz feldspar porphyry pluton that intrudes Lower Paleozoic rocks along the Tintina Fault. No mineralization or significant alteration was found.
