Capsule

Work History

Staked as Nels cl (Y6628) in Apr/67 following an airborne mag and EM survey by Conwest, which carried out prospecting and limited geochemical sampling later in the year.
Restaked as part of a block of 1070 Sue cl (Y80651) in Sep/74 by Conwest and Teck Corp. Essex Mls L (U.S. Steel) acquired the Teck interest in early 1975 and formed the Macmillan JV, which conducted linecutting (bulldozer), EM, mag and gravity surveys in 1975, 1976 and 1977. The Sue cl were transferred to Getty Res L in Jul/86.

Capsule Geology

The claims cover an area of extensive overburden with flat aeromagnetic response. They are probably underlain by metasedimentary rocks of the Anvil Range Group.
