Work History
Staked as Northern cl (60487) in Aug/51 by M. de Mers, who did some hand trenching in 1952. Restaked as A, B, etc cl (Y52235) in Jun/70 by Charta ML. These claims were optioned until Feb/72 by Phelps Dodge, which conducted mapping and geochem surveys and drilled one hole (abandoned at 66.8 m) in 1970 and 2 holes (305.7 m) in 1971.
R.G. Hilker added the Roxy cl (Y75843) in Jul/73, performed hand trenching in 1976, restaked as Toot cl (YA48227) in Sep/79 and hand trenched in 1980. J.W. Kerr staked JUBA cl (YA74479) 1.6 km to the west in Dec/81.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by quartz monzonite which is cut by zones of quartz porphyry. A fluorite occurrence was noted by the GSC about 2.4 km to the west and patchy fluorite is common in the area. The holes were drilled to test an area geochemically anomalous in copper, molybdenum and tungsten on the fringe of a strong gossan.
