General Information
Secondary Commodities: copper, molybdenum, silver, zinc
Aliases: Barb, Stone
Deposit Type(s): Skarn W
Location(s): 62.564170 N, -133.928610 W
NTS Mapsheet(s): 105K12
Location Comments: .5 Kilometres
Hand Samples Available at YGS: No
Capsule
Work History
Staked as Stone cl (95408) in Nov/65 by Golden Gate EL. Restaked as Barb cl (YA50999) in Jul/80 by Union OC of Can L, which performed mapping and geochem sampling later in the year.
Capsule Geology
The claims were staked on skarn float and outcrop that assays up to 3.5% Cu, 5.4% Zn, 150 ppm Ag and 0.5% WO3. The mineralization consists of pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, arsenopyrite, scheelite and molybdenite. Skarn bands up to 2 m thick have formed in limy petitic beds within a sequence of Lower Cambrian Gull Lake Formation and Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary rocks near the margin of the mid-Cretaceous Anvil Batholith. Channel samples returned low assays.
