Work History
First staked as Cube cl (13207) in May/20 by A.A. Holenbeck. Restaked as Rosemary cl (62246) in Sep/52 by R.G. Lee; as Rosemary cl (80690) in Jul/61 by R.G. Anderson; and as Windy, Caroline, Casy cl (83525) in Apr/65 and Mo cl (Y619) in Aug/66 by J. Holstrom. Holstrom's claims were optioned in Aug/66 to Rodstrom Yellowknife ML, and in June/68 to Fort George Mg & EL, which added the Fort George cl (Yl4889), explored by hand trenching and bulldozing in 1968 and more bulldozing in 1972 and 1978.
Holstrom bulldozer trenched and drove a 2.4 m adit in 1980, performed stripping and shaft sinking in 1981 and built a road in 1984. Holstrom's claims (Windy, etc) were transferred to 6847 Yukon L in 1988, which transferred 50% of its interest to F. Tveter in Sep/89 and explored jointly by road construction, trenching, stripping and hand shafting the same year. The Windy, Caroline, Moe, Boso, Case, Casey, Rex and Chrissie cl were transferred to G. Gervais in Dec/93. In Jun/95 Gervais transferred the Windy (83525), Casy, Caroline, Chrissie G, Rex, Mo, Boso, and Case claims to F. Tveter. Tveter and J. Holstrom then carried out stripping and trenching on Casy 3 Fr. (YA58193) later in the month. In Sept/95 the Windy cl (83527), Casy, Caroline, Chrissie, Rex, MO, Boso, Case 3 and Bonny claims were transferred to K. Pavlovich.
R. Miller staked the Bob cl (YA17718) 2.4 km south on Duncan Creek in Mar/78 and bulldozer trenched later in the year. D. Brost staked Boogala cl (YB18125) 2 km south on Duncan Creek in Jun/91 and explored with bulldozer stripping on the Boogala 2 and 4 claims.
Capsule Geology
Two weak, transverse-type veins cutting schist on the Windy 1 and Casy 1 & 2 claims contain minor galena from which selected hi-grade samples assayed as high as 9771.2 g/t Ag, 1.7 g/t Au and 80.5% Pb. Holstrom's 1980 trenching exposed a 30 cm wide vein containing galena and tetrahedrite, from which specimens assayed up to 13 713.9 g/t Ag.
