Capsule

Work History

Staked as the Land cl (Yl8966) in Jul/67 by Aishihik Syndicate (Mt Washington Copper CL, Granite City Platinum L, Coin Canyon ML and Tay River ML) which conducted soil sampling and prospecting. Tay River ML was controlled by Utica ML, Silver Standard ML and Copper Ridge ML.

Capsule Geology

The claims cover a 600 gamma magnetic anomaly. A combination of reconnaissance and grid soil sampling located a weak copper anomaly in a swampy area on the eastern side of the claims and a copper anomaly between 1.5 and 2 times background over an area 488 by 61 m on the Land 12 and 14 claims. Only a few outcrops, consisting of hornblende granodiorite, were found.
