Work History
Discovered with prospecting in 1977 and 1978 by Welcome North ML's Basin Project. The southeast occurrence was restaked as Primo cl 1-96 (YB85166) by P. Risby in Jul/96.
Capsule Geology
At the southeast occurrence, galena, sphalerite and minor chalcopyrite are associated with small skarn zones developed in Proterozoic limy argillite. To the northwest, chalcopyrite was found in several large float boulders of Proterozoic quartzite.
