Work History
Staked as Amp cl (Y49033) in Jan/70 by Anaconda and Nicanex ML, which conducted preliminary prospecting and soil sampling later in the year.
Capsule Geology
Claims cover a probable faulted contact between a Cretaceous granodiorite pluton and Paleogene Amphitheatre Formation sedimentary rocks and were staked for positional value adjacent to the Cork occurrence. Several minor copper geochemical anomalies were reported.
