Work History
Staked as Pick cl (YA92096) in Jun/85 by M. Webster, who mapped and prospected in 1986, then optioned the property to Noranda ECL which mapped and prospected in 1987.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by quartz-biotite schist, quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss and amphibolite. Anomalous gold, silver, zinc and arsenic were obtained from a silicified shear zone but follow up work was disappointing.
