General Information
Secondary Commodities: barite, zinc
Deposit Type(s): Sediment hosted Stratiform Barite
Location(s): 63.443330 N, -132.371670 W
NTS Mapsheet(s): 105N08
Location Comments: .5 Kilometres
Hand Samples Available at YGS: No
Capsule
Work History
First staked in Jul/91 as Fido 1-64 (YB18357) and Spot 1-34 cl (YB19884) by Kennecott Canada Inc. following the release of a government geochemical survey. Kennecott performed a reconnaissance geological and geochemical survey in 1992.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by black shale and chert of the Ordovician to Lower Devonian Road River Group. Silts from streams draining the Spot claims contain anomalous Zn, and soil sampling outlined a northwest-trending Zn and Ba anomaly.
