Work History
Staked as WSS cl (Y96759) in Sep/74 by Welcome North ML and Silver Standard ML, which performed geochemical surveys and mapping in 1974 and 1975.
Capsule Geology
Blebs of tetrahedrite occur in calcite-filled fractures cutting pyritic shale of the Ordovician to Lower Devonian Road River Formation. Some galena and sphalerite were seen in a gossan as well.
