Work History
Staked as Wendy cl (YA75061) in Sep/82 by Agip Can L, which performed limited mapping and geochem sampling in 1983.
Capsule Geology
Minor quartz, quartz-calcite and calcite veining occurs in or near a fault zone that cuts dacite porphyry of the mid-Cretaceous South Fork volcanics. Wallrocks are weakly fractured and altered. Float specimens assayed up to 305 ppb Au, 2.8 ppm Ag and 750 ppm As.
