Work History
The initial staking in this area, situated 1.6 km to the southwest, consisted of Drum cl (Y8270) in Jun/66, following airborne Mag and EM surveys by Conwest EL, which explored with prospecting, limited geochemical and geophysical surveys and two holes (83.5 m) later in the year. Restaked by Glenlyon ML as Glen cl (Y34947) in May/69 and as AB cl (Y52118) in Jun/70.
Restaked as part of a block of 1070 Sue cl (Y80651) in Sep/74 by a syndicate of Conwest companies (Chimo Gold ML, Cons Can Faraday and Int Mogul ML) and Teck Corp. Essex Mls L (U.S. Steel) acquired the Teck interest in Jan/75 and formed the Macmillan JV, which explored with lake bottom sediment sampling and extensive linecutting (bulldozer), EM, mag and gravity surveys in 1975 to 1977 and one hole (137.2 m) on claim 570 in 1978. The interests of the Conwest Syndicate were acquired early in 1980 by Getty Mg.
The Sue claims were abandoned and restaked as Clear etc cl (YB25815, YB25836) in Jun/89 by Total Energold Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Total Erickson Resources Ltd. In 1991, the property was optioned to Mitsui Kinzoku Resources of Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd, as part of a large claim block associated with the Clear Lake deposit (Minfile 105L 045). Work on the Clear Lake property in 1991 consisted of 4588.2 m of diamond drilling in 19 holes, gravity and IP surveys, mapping, trenching and soil sampling, and further geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys were carried out in 1992.
The Clear and Sue cl were transferred to Energold Minerals Inc. in Nov/92. In 1993, Mitsui Kinzuko Resources and Energold Minerals Inc. further explored the Clear Lake property with gravity and magnetometer surveys, auger assisted soil sampling, rock chip sampling, geological mapping and six diamond drill holes totalling 1364 m. Mitzui Kinzoku registered a 2.76 % interest in the property in Jun/94.
Capsule Geology
The claims are situated in a wide, flat, largely overburden-covered valley along the Tintina Fault. The 1966 holes cut highly faulted metasedimentary rocks and one hole intersected 0.45 m of massive sulphides which assayed 0.48% Pb, 0.14% Zn, 0.03% Cu and trace gold and silver.
