Work History
Staked as 160 MV cl (YA17134) in Oct/77 by Mackenzie JV (Brinex L, A.M. & S. Can L & C.L. Smith), which explored with soil sampling and mapping in 1977 and 1978.
Capsule Geology
Traces of hydrozincite and smithsonite coating fractures and minor tetrahedrite in nodules occur within calcareous beds of the Road River Formation. High background values for Pb, Zn and Mo are associated with the mineralization.
