Work History
Discovered by Atlas EL for the Hess Project (Atlas EL, Quebec Cartier Mg C, and Phillips Bros (Can) L) in 1968. The Bunny cl (80263) were staked in Jul/58 about 1.6 km to the northeast but no work was recorded.
Capsule Geology
Boulders of vein quartz mineralized with chalcopyrite were found in a creek draining Devono-Mississippian sedimentary rocks, but the source was not located.
