General Information
Primary Commodities: barium
Deposit Type(s): Sediment hosted Stratiform Barite
Location(s): 63.599720 N, -132.085280 W
NTS Mapsheet(s): 105N09
Location Comments: .5 Kilometres
Hand Samples Available at YGS: No
Capsule
Work History
Reported by Abbott in 1985 while investigating development on the nearby Plata property (Minfile # 105N 003). The showing is located within Plata claim group which was originally staked in Aug & Sept/72 by a joint venture consisting of Dynasty EL (80%) and Atlas EL (20%).
Capsule Geology
Fine grained, fine laminated dark grey barite horizon, up to 4.0 m thick and at least 0.5 km long. Appears to be stratiform with blue-grey weathering silicious shale and chert (Devonian Earn Group).
