Work History
Staked as MK & Etta cl (84406) in Apr/65 by Arivaca EL following release of heavy metal data from stream sediment samples collected by the GSC as part of Operation Keno in 1964. Arivaca performed airborne and ground EM surveys in 1966 and hand pitting in 1967.
Capsule Geology
The claims covered a zinc stream sediment anomaly from a creek draining Mississippian Keno Hill Quartzite that is intruded by Triassic greenstone sills. At least one EM anomaly is present but no mineralization was found.
