Capsule
Work History
Staked as Rags and KO cl (96357) in Dec/65 by Citation EL, which conducted airborne mag and EM surveys, mapping and soil geochem surveys later in the year.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by Cambrian to Triassic quartzite of the Nisutlin Allochthonous Assemblage. No mineralization was found. Staking was probably prompted by GSC Memoir 200, which stated 'Some pyrite and chalcopyrite were seen in (quartz) veins on the ridge bordering the north side of Pelly River just west of Ross River'.
