Work History
Staked as Elsa, Liberty, etc cl (65078) in May/53 by G. Black, P. Versluce and R. Hide. Restaked as Maya cl (73047) in Jun/57 by C. Eminger and C. Gibbons, and as GG cl (Y26277) in Sep/68 by R.G. Hilker and P. Versluce, who conducted bulldozer trenching early in 1969.
Restaked as CWL cl (YA97373) in May/87 by Harjay EL, which performed hand trenching in 1988 and trenching and prospecting in 1989. G. Davidson restaked the CWL cl (YB27630) in Jul/90.
Capsule Geology
Gold-bearing quartz and quartz-carbonate veins up to 20 cm wide occur in silicified green tuff of Permian age. Specimens containing 2% chalcopyrite, 2% galena and 1% pyrite assayed up to 13.7 g/t Au. Prospecting in 1988 located another area of narrow veins containing galena and chalcopyrite 250 m upslope which may represent the faulted offset of the main showing.
