Capsule
Work History
Staked as Mac cl (84915) in Apr/66 following an aeromag survey by Kerr Addison ML, which performed mapping and an EM and geochem survey later in the year.
Restaked as part of a large block of KAL cl (YA43615) in Apr-Sep/81, following an airborne EM and mag survey by Anaconda Can EL, which explored with mapping and geochem surveys later in the year, and EM and mag surveys in 1982. Anaconda's interest was transferred in 1985 to Fleck Mls Inc.
Capsule Geology
The property is largely overburden covered but appears to be underlain by Mississippian Anvil Range Group phyllite, graphitic schist and minor pyroclastics, and Devono-Mississippian Earn Group black shale. Bedded barite occurs in the shales and is associated with Pb soil anomalies. Ground magnetic and EM surveys confirmed airborne anomalies.
