Capsule
Work History
Staked as Hank cl (YA42203) in Aug/80 by the Pelly Project (Welcome North ML and E & B EL), which conducted airborne mag and EM surveys and geochem sampling in 1980. Anaconda staked Bum cl (YA43696) 2 km north in Apr/81 and performed MaxMin, magnetic and gravity surveys and grid soil geochem in 1982. Anaconda's interest was transferred in 1985 to Fleck Mls Inc, which optioned the property to Dromedary ECL in Jun/88.
Capsule Geology
The Hank claims are underlain by Mississippian Anvil Range andesite, pyroclastics and minor sedimentary rocks. The 1980 surveys gave negative results.
The Bum claims cover bedded barite in Devono-Mississippian Earn Group black shale in a panel between south-dipping thrust faults. No sulphide minerals or significant geochem or geophysical anomalies were located.
