Work History
Staked as Rex & Well cl (64341) in May/53 by Canalask Nickel ML, a new company formed by Ontario Nickel ML and Frobisher L, following an aeromag survey by Hans Lunberg. Frobisher's interest was later transferred to Quebec Metallurgical Industries L. The West cl (69717) were tied on to the west in Oct/54 by Western ML. Additional Rex cl (70605) were staked in May/55 by J. Holmstrom.
Restaked as JM cl (Y5589) in May/66 (which were withdrawn at the staker's request); as AL cl (Y12463) in Mar/67 by H. Babb; and as Go cl(Y58187) in Aug/70 by W. Maliciky.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by mafic volcanic rocks of Permo-Pennsylvanian age.
