Work History
Staked as Mac cl (Y9233) in Jun/66, following airborne mag and EM surveys by Conwest EL, which explored with prospecting and limited geochem and geophysical surveys in 1966 and one 193.5 m hole in 1967.
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 performed lake bottom sediment sampling and extensive linecutting (bulldozer), mag, EM and gravity surveys in 1975 to 1977 and drilled 2 holes (321.9 m) about 4 km to the northwest on claim 273 and 844 in 1978.
Getty ML acquired the interests of the Conwest syndicate early in 1980. The Sue claims were abandoned and restaked as Clear cl (YB25815) in Jun/89 by Total Energold Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Total Erickson Resources Ltd. The property was optioned to Mitsui Kinzoku Resources of Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd in 1991, 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. An additional 76 Clear cl (YB36109) were staked in Jul/91, and further geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys were carried out in 1992.
The Clear and Sue claims were transferred to Energold Minerals Inc. in Nov/92. In 1993, Mitsui Kinzuko Resources and Energold Minerals Inc. 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.
Capsule Geology
The claims are situated in a wide, flat, largely overburden-covered valley along the Tintina Fault, and are probably underlain by metasedimentary rocks. Results of drilling are not available.
