Work History
Staked in Jul/69 by Newmont as the Sean cl (Y29194). Only preliminary surveys were done. Restaked as Joy cl (Y64580) in Jul/72 by J. Carson and optioned to Selwyn Project (Dynasty EL, Atlas EL, Shield Res L, and Numac O & GL), which conducted mapping and grid soil sampling in 1973 and added more Joy cl (Y72678) in Mar-June and Ajax cl (Y73760) in July.
In 1974, Shield changed its name to Precambrian Shield Res L and Atlas changed to Cima Res L, while Dynasty changed to Cyprus Anvil Mg Corp in 1975. Carson restaked as one Lucky cl (YA322)in Jul/76 and Amax of Can L surrounded it with the HA cl (YA44393) in Jul/79 and performed geochem surveys later in the year. Carson restaked as Dancer cl (YA54558) in May/80 and optioned to Kelvin Energy L, which mapped and sampled later in the year.
Capsule Geology
Scheelite occurs in quartz veins in a porphyritic quartz monzonite stock and in skarn at the contacts. The stock intrudes Ordovician to Lower Devonian shale and phyllite and underlying Cambro-Ordovician limestone. Minor sulphosalt veins have been found near the margins of the stock and variscite is also reported. Specimens of quartz veins and greisen alteration from the intrusion assayed as high as 1.6% WO3. A chip sample across 9.1 m of jointed quartz monzonite assayed 0.06% WO3.
