Capsule
Work History
Staked as Spar cl (Yl3299) in May/67 by Spartan EL, which conducted a small magnetometer survey later in the year.
Capsule Geology
Claims cover a gossan developed in quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss in contact with biotite granodiorite. Fragments of bull quartz and vuggy, coarse grained tourmaline are found in the gossan area. No sulphides were found on surface and the geochemical response is flat.
A small magnetic anomaly was obtained over the gossan, which is probably derived from a pyrite-pyrrhotite lens within the gneiss.
