Work History
Staked as the S cl (84232) in Mar/65 by United Keno Hill ML. Explored by prospecting and soil sampling in 1965.
Capsule Geology
The claims were staked to cover a heavy metal stream anomaly located by the GSC's Operation Keno (1964). Prospecting by United Keno Hill Mines Ltd located several shear zones in quartzite containing minor galena mineralization. The best assay returned 308.6 g/t Ag and 0.5% Pb.
