Secondary Commodities: coal
Deposit Type(s): Coal
Location(s): 62.033610 N, -131.795280 W

Capsule
Work History
Staked as three coal leases (4815) in Jun/02 by D. McIntyre.
Capsule Geology
The location is given as 40 km above the mouth of Ross River, 1.6 km from the left limit. Outcrop is scarce and consists mainly of Tertiary volcanic flows and pyroclastic rocks. Paleocene coal-bearing sedimentary rocks are sometimes interbedded with the volcanics and it is possible that the staking was based on coal float found in a creek.
