Work History
The Wedge cl 1-24, Piper cl 1-29, Cub cl 1-10 and Super cl 1-10 (67601) were staked in Nov/53 by K. Springer, who carried out geological mapping in 1954.
Restaked as Glyn cl 65-114 (94892) in Dec/65 by Golden Gate Exploration Ltd, which became involved in litigation and performed only minor work before the claims lapsed.
Capsule Geology
The area is underlain by Triassic conglomerate, cherty argillite, sandstone and mafic greywackes. No mineralization was found.
