Capsule
Work History
Staked as Tanya, etc cl (64297) in Apr/53 by Canalask Nickel ML, a new company formed by Ontario Nickel ML and Frobisher L. Frobisher's interest was later transferred to Quebec Metallurgical Ind L.
Restaked in Nov/86 by Kluane JV (All-North Res L and Chevron Mls L) as Liberty cl (YA96624), which were optioned to Silverquest Res L and explored with mapping and geochem sampling in 1987.
Capsule Geology
Claims are underlain by Permo-Pennsylvanian sedimentary and volcanic rocks and cover a southeast-trending aeromagnetic anomaly that is believed to be caused by a Lower Triassic ultramafic sill that is not exposed. The 1987 sampling failed to locate any mineralization or anomalies.
