Work History
Staked as Snipe cl (Y20326) in Jun/67 by Aishihik Syndicate (Mt Washington Copper CL, Granite City Platinum L, Coil Canyon ML and Tay River ML), which explored by prospecting and grid soil sampling later in the year. Restaked by D. Reinke in Oct/73 as Snipe cl (Y77738).
Capsule Geology
Small amounts of chalcopyrite were found along the margin of a porphyry dyke cutting a biotite-quartz monzonite intrusion.
